Growing up, like most of us, I only saw neurotypical cishet people on TV, most of them white. I rarely saw gay characters who weren't stereotyped side characters used for the "gay best friend" or the "butch lesbian" to poke fun at or the "bisexual who only likes the same sex for attention". I never saw genderqueer people who weren't used for some kind of humor or sad backstory and they were rarely respected when they even existed. Neurodivergent folks were always for humor such as the "ADHD kid bouncing off the walls and OOH SQUIRREL" or for angst such as the "autistic person who exists solely for angst and to be bullied by others." I never got to see someone like me in the media.

And now we're in a point in history where we get to watch this show.

The main character is bisexual, neurodivergent, and latina.

The love interest is a lesbian with a rough past and abusive parents.

The best friends are a burnt out gifted kid raised by a single dad and a girl with two dads and self esteem issues. Both of which are people of color.

The love interest has a brother who's dating someone who uses they/them pronouns.

The mother figure is bisexual with a chronic illness.

The mother figure's love interest is a nonbinary performer with stage fright and a person of color.

The mother figure's mom used to be an anti-vaxxer before she learned to understand and respect her daughter and her chronic illness.

The principal has a disability and genuinely cares for his students.

Several of the 'mean' characters have gotten realistic character growth in which they acknowledge that they did wrong, address it, and grow.

Several side characters are seen with same-sex partners, various skin colors, and disabilities.

They/them pronouns are used regularly used both for folks who use them and folks whose pronouns are unknown.

And none of these facts cloud any of the characters or are used for humor or anything like that. In this world, homophobia, racism, transphobia, and ableism flat out don't exist.

I have cried happy tears several times to my mom and my friends about how amazing it is that such an inclusive show exists. Not only is the plot incredible and the animation beautiful but it raises a more inclusive generation.

Young children are turning on Disney Channel and seeing that it's okay and normal to be disabled, neurodivergent, queer, transgender, a person of color, chronically ill, or from a "different" family dynamic. That it's never to late to grow and change as a person.

I would give anything to have had a show like this growing up. To turn on my favorite tv station to see that it was okay to be myself. That there's not just one way to be myself. To be able to see myself in the characters on my screen.

Dana Terrace and the team have made such massive contributions to the history of progress and inclusivity and I cannot express my appreciation enough.

Do you have any annabeth mtf headcanons?

Here ya go :)

Born Nathaniel Theodore Chase.

She started feeling dysphoria at age 5. She never really got much attention from her dad and barely talked to him so she kept it to herself and remained confused for most of her childhood.

Age 7 was the worst for her. Sure the clothes she worse had nothing wrong but it still didn’t feel like it was ‘her’ she looked too much like a ‘him’ and that really made her insecure.

She started growing her hair out and would use her step mother’s hair clips to look more like ‘her’ and she would get scolded it for it. She ended up managing to steal some of the accessories and would sometimes stay up at night so she could peacefully be “herself” and not gets weird looks from her parents and constantly being questioned my her little brothers.

She told Magnus about how she felt (he was the only family she trusted) And he was supportive of her but didn’t know much how to help. Annabeth was grateful to him either way. At least he listened to her and accepted her.

Magnus helped her choose her name, She couldn’t decide between Lou Ann and Bethany so she combined the names and formed Annabeth.

Hence Annabeth chase was born.

Once she was caught stealing her step mom’s perfume and that was her breaking point when she was called a freak and threatened to cut her hair. It shattered her, and she had to run away and be free to live like herself, she had nothing to loose anyways and so she did run.

Meeting Luke and Thalia was the best thing that ever happened to her. She never told them because she was embarrassed and besides she could easily pass as a girl. And that was the first time she used the name Annabeth.

Thalia found out by accident once. It was quite a surprise but she didn’t care, she reassured Annabeth that she was not a freak and that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. They had a long talk and Thalia set her mind that once they reached camp she’d help Annabeth with everything. Annabeth was like her little sister.

Back in camp, without Thalia, it became a bit difficult for her to keep hiding. CHB was her family, she trusted them but still had a few insecurities in her head.

Despite trusting/loving Luke. She never told him. But he was the one who got her ears pierced for her 9 birthday (upon requesting). He also gifted her silver owl earrings which she wore a lot.

Chiron found out eventually but he didn’t bring the topic up so as to not make Annabeth feel too uncomfortable. So for the next 4 years Annabeth kept researching about transition and got better at adapting.

Then came along Percy. He was a bit of a goofball but was pretty alert but Annabeth was one step further than him. She had already practiced to keep her voice high pitched. She simply couldn’t let him know. He might’ve been sweet but the memories of the past always lingered.

It was until after TLO when Annabeth confessed, she loved Percy and he loved her, there was nothing to hide and Percy was glad to know, Annabeth didn’t seem any different to him, she was still and always would be his Wise-girl. Supportive simp boyfriend™️

Grover cried when he found out, he was really happy that Annabeth shared something so sensitive with him. Even tho she trusted him with his life, he was super happy.

She slowly came out to the other campers. Everyone supported her, but there were a few people who found it hard to process, either because they never noticed anything or that it was really unexpected. But there was no negativity.

After BoO. Annabeth came out to all her friends. Piper, Reyna and Hazel helped her a lot. Even though Annabeth had researched, there was nothing wrong in asking her friends for advice.

She took her first dose of hormones a year late than usually due to the constant quests. (This was actually during MoA). She started showing a lot of noticeable differences during first semester of college.

Her family came around sometime during the end of TLO, (When she would spend the summer at home instead of camp). It was before college when they finally accepted her and could wrap around their minds that Annabeth was their daughter.

Her step-brothers were confused since they vaguely remembered they had a big brother, but the topic was soon forgotten.

Piper was especially close to Annabeth during the early transition stages.

Now for Athena’s reaction. It never bothered her and never will, Annabeth is her child, gender didn’t matter as long as Annabeth was comfortable with however she identified as.

Annabeth Legally changed her name on her 18th birthday. And her bottom surgery is scheduled for after she graduates or sometime in between the second semester of college.

Hope you liked these✨

The best type of fanon is “this is obviously a mistake on the part of the creator but we are going to continue to create in-universe explanations for it with a seriousness that approaches spite”

☕ tell us about your opinion on rick riordan/his works and why. introduction paragraph at least three sentences. three to four body paragraphs with reasoning and evidence. conclusion paragraph hard hitting and leave us on an inspirational note. /j... unless?

um

i might write the full essay later when i have the time and focus, but anygays

my opinion on him and his works? okay. um. i think his books are good, but they’re really overrated, especially when it comes to diversity. i liked the pjo series, hoo wasn’t as good imo. mc was okay, toa was fine. i remember hardly anything about the kane chronicles i really should reread that-- 

rick himself? uh. i’m glad he tried to add so much diversity to his later books but he gets praised way too much for that, especially since a lot of his diverse characters.... suck (sorry about the bluntness--). i’ve kinda lost much of my respect for him lately, so
