#and Leah IS our annabeth

[3amandimstillawake]

while we're on the topic of talking about changes the pjo show made that i love, im glad they didn't push the whole Annabeth saying she and Percy *have* to be enemies because athena and Poseidon have beef. Instead she's just this cryptid autistic strategist 12 yr old who stalks Percy and pushes him into the water. She's like "hmm this white boy will perfectly serve my purpose and schemes" and she's so real for that

Obsessed with how Annabeth isn't spacial, she isn't a chosen one, she has no demigod magic powers, she is for all intents and purposes, a fairly normal girl.

But she poured her blood, sweat and tears into becoming the best warrior she could be. She trained hard for years because she knew she had disadvantages and she didn't want to be seen as weak.

She's literally known in Camp and by monsters like Alecto as the most powerful demigod alive and she doesn't have powers. It's almost as of girls don't need to be magical to be a hero!

The way I know those PJO fans were lying about "we just want book accuracy" in regards to Leah's casting as Annabeth is bc they didn't complain nearly as much for anyone else in the cast

Percy being blonde? A little bit here or there but acceptance in the end

Grover? Literally nothing for miles about how Aryan's Indian

Luke Castellan? Charlie Bushnell is Japanese, Irish, and Costa Rican, but no one ever said that he wasn't book accurate

Chiron is Black. Did you complain about that?

Y'all can take your "we want the looks to be like the books!" and shove it up your ass. You're just being racist toward Leah

OH MY GOD THIS MADE ME CACKLE

i wanna see fan art of older percy and annabeth with scars and grey steaks in their hair. they’re in college or full adults and living their best lives but during the summer they’re putting extra sunscreen on their old battle wounds and when percy grows out his hair or annabeth gets new braids they have a matching silver streak. i want to see them as happy adults but still visibly carrying the weight of everything they went through as children. they deserve not to have those lost with age, its proof that they lived, that they made it.

Again they dangled Annabeth’s fatal flaw in front of her through Hephaestus saying that if she were to leave right then with the shield, she would win back her mother’s favor and be a hero, two things Annabeth has wanted more than anything in the world her whole life. And again she chooses to stick by her friend and protect him because if they don’t break the cycle, who will? If they continually sacrifice each other to get ahead, just as the gods have done with each other and demigods for centuries, what will be left but the destruction of the world?

But Percy isn’t that way. Annabeth has the chance to have everything she’s ever wanted but not the way she wants. She doesn’t want to be that way anymore. She’s breaking the cycle.

Annabeth: Love is weakness and an evolutionary mistake. Grover: You are literally making a Valentine’s day card for Percy. Annabeth, pointing her hot glue gun towards Grover: You’re on thin fucking ice.

Watching episode two again for the fic, and I’m just realizing? When Annabeth put on the cap in front of Percy and then proceeded to leave visible footprints and rustle that plant while she walked off, she was probably doing it on purpose to make Percy think she was gone so she could watch him undisturbed. She knew he was smart enough to know she’s still there and track her movements so she put on a little show and made it look like she was gone. Always six steps ahead.

last episode 3 rant for now i almost promise but like.

looking back it's an obvious improvement that Annabeth sees Percy exploding the toilets and immediately clocks him as a son of Poseidon, and also that she takes one look at stone statues and "aunty em" and takes no time to put two and two together. Like this girl has been studying for this her whole life, she's probably gone around camp devouring stories from new arrivals to piece together how these myths and monsters manifest in the modern world.

Kid shows up with a minotaur horn, a stormy temper, and a bone to pick with the gods? That's her ticket out of here.

Wandering along a satyr path to an almost guaranteed monster lair littered with statues? That's Medusa.

Also love the juxtaposition of "wise beyond her years battle strategist" Annabeth and "child in a convenience store with no budget" Annabeth. She's intelligent and quick-witted but still a kid i the ways it matters.

if i see one more person saying that annabeth’s character is “ruined” because leah’s not blonde, i’m actually going to go insane. if you think that annabeth’s motives and character are entirely defined by her hair color, you did not understand the books. her character goes so much further than her appearance. “but leah doesn’t uphold the dumb blonde stereotype” leah being annabeth ENHANCES annabeth’s character arc by covering racism as well.

every single character in the riordanverse has been outcasted and turned away. this includes annabeth. you think that leah’s annabeth, a black girl in the early 2000s, is an exception to this? fuck, even in the episode with the chimera, it’s noticeable. now i dont know if this was intentional, but someone mentioned that the police officer had no problem with walker/percy’s blatant disrespect, but the SECOND leah very normally asks, “are we under arrest?” he accuses her of having a disrespectful tone.

annabeth’s intelligence is in no way related to her hair color. leah portrays annabeth beautifully and i couldn’t ask for anyone better.

normal people ending an iris message: *sweeps their hand through the image and it disappears*

these lovesick kids: *elaborate ritual where they lie down, roll towards each other, fantasise about the other person (who they saw an hour ago) till the image disappears*

i love them

[kermitthesog]

ok I don’t care about Percy having blonde hair, or Annabeth having dark hair, or any skin color at all. BUT IF THE SHOW DOESNT PUT GREY STREAKS IN THEIR HAIRS AFTER HOLDING UP THE SKY, I WILL RIOT. granted, I’ll still watch the show fully and giggle while kicking my feet, BUT I WILL RIOT!!!

you hear me, Disney+? When, NOT IF, when you get to Titan’s Curse, you need to do this or else.
