because leah looks closer to book annabeth than alexandria daddario

because book annabeth has a deep tan

because mixed families exist

because you don’t have to be biologically related to someone to be their cousin

because annabeth is never explicitly called white

because melanesian people exist

because there’s this one scene in tbol where percy is obsessing over how good annabeths curls look and it would be sooo cute if leah wore her natural hair in that season

BECAUSE LEAH IS A DAMN GOOD ACTRESS AND I WOULDNT WANT ANYONE ELSE PLAYING ANNABETH

#it is true that i picture a tan white girl when i think of annabeth but that’s for two reasons #1 ive grown so invested in the actors that they are disconnected from the characters in my mind #and 2 i as a neurodivergent girl have an EXTREMELY DEEP connection to the books a connection that i think some neurotypical ppl cant imagin #that being said I LOVE LEAH AS ANNABETH SHE EMBODIES EVERYTHING ABOUT ANNABETHS CHARACYER AND PLAYS HER SO WELL #ANNABETH WOULD LOVE LEAH SHE QOULD LOVE HER AND BE SO GLAD LEAH IS OLAYING HER #and i say this as a white girl who sees herself in annabeth and has a deep connection to her #i am so glad black and poc girls can see themselves in show annabeth that they can look on screen and see a girl like them who is amazing #i see myself in annabeths adhd and her academic success now poc girls can see themselves in her for a different reason #also neurodivergent poc and black girls exist and this might just be me but they’re very underrepresented #my ONLY qualms with the pjo cast is that (to my knowledge) they are not adhd or dyslexic #also it lowkey makes sense if magnus’ mom was adopted or smtg bc chase is not a very norse surname but whatever #these tags got longer than i meant them to be sorry y’all #pjo #leah sava jeffries #leahbeth #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson disney+#pjo hoo toa #leah jeffries #pjo disney+#pjo books #annabeth chase #leahbeth for life #pjo annabeth #annabeth pjo #magnus chase #magnus chase and the gods of asgard #mcga #riordanverse
