#character: annabeth chase

[thissmycomingofage]

Just me nitpicking again, but I don't like how they changed Thalia being killed by cyclops for her being killed by furies. First because it seemingly reduces the bestiary of the world. Secondly because it only seems to be there to create quick one scene drama and tension between Annabeth and Alecto, only for the latter to die by the end of the episode. And thirdly...what about Tyson ? What about Annabeth's racism ? Do they really not plan on making a season 2? Or do they plan on removing this part of her arc? I mean sure, it would make sense with the change of her ethnicity, but then I really hope they remove it entirely cause I'm not sure it'll be better to have Annabeth hating on Tyson without the trauma "explaining it".

I drew Asian percabeth lol

Every time some racist loser complains about how my Percy and Annabeth “aren’t book accurate,” I will design a different version out of spite (and bc it’s fun 🥰)

So fuck it, Annabeth’s Indian and Percy is Korean

going to chb must be crazy like imagine sharing a camp with

-one of the strongest demigods ever who's saved the world like at least 3 times, fought multiple gods & titans and WON (and is a tartarus survivor)

-the literal main architect of OLYMPUS who's also saved the world multiple times (also tartarus survivor)

-THE lord of the wild who's also close friends with the first two (and has helped save the world multiple times)

-an emo kid from the 1930s who again helped save the world and is also a tartarus survivor (TWICE)

-a son of apollo who survived tartarus with nothing but cargo shorts and sheer will (pun intended)

-the main designer and builder for the argo II, also the first hephaestus kid to have fire powers since hundreds of years ago (did i mention killed gaea? no? yeah he did that too)

-a girl who somehow charmspeak-ed gaea into falling back asleep (also side note daughter of super famous actor because why not)

-pretty much everybody is a two-time war veteran

-THE GOD APOLLO who just sometimes comes down to visit in the form of a teenage boy

-did i mention dionysus, god of wine madness and theatre

-also chiron, trainer of pretty much every greek hero ever

pjo tv show episode 5 alignment:

Something I think about a lot is how Rick Riordan very rarely uses "girlfriend/boyfriend" to refer to Percy and Annabeth within their perspectives. They're so intertwined, even Annabeth says in hoh that the word boyfriend isn't strong enough, because Percy was a part of her. They are a singular soul, too wrapped around each others' fates that regular labels are far too weak for them. But, Rick Riordan uses "boyfriend" a lot in Nico and Wills perspectives, not because they love each other less than percabeth, but to show how much the word means to them. Nico uses it any chance he gets- "his boyfriend," "he actually had a boyfriend," because Nico has never been able to say that before. Their struggle with their queer identities mixed with Nico's catholic guilt and chronic everyone-hates-me disease makes the fact that he has someone to call his actual boyfriend so much more important to his character development.

raaah comfort character meme

The mischaracterization of people from PJO is so funny, but ESPECIALLY from HOO onward like.

“Hazel’s such an innocent little angel. She’s always nice and kind and confused.”

Hazel, who’s always ready to fight in the same way Percy is? Hazel, who made it explicitly clear she probably would’ve rocked Octavian’s shit had he not been blackmailing her? Who gets so angry on behalf of the people she loves, to the point where she doesn’t forgive those who have wronged them? Who Percy described as cursing up a storm in one of their first interactions? Who’s been shown time and time again to be FAST to anger? That Hazel?

Or Nico, who’s “a misunderstood emo. A small bean. Cute like a wet cat and innocent like a bunny.”

Nico, who’s cannonically described by most characters as “scary and unnerving?” Nico, who, for a long time, is one of the angriest characters in the series? Who’s only sassy and sarcastic because it took him FOUR YEARS to mellow out? Who’s described as being one of the most powerful demigods, who a lot of people still consider the scariest? Who’s come into his own as a character from TTC to TSATS? That Nico?

Or Annabeth who’s, “cold and calculating. Doesn’t show emotion or express herself”

Annabeth, who’s the most expressive person in the series? Who cries in EVERY book in the OG series? Whether it be for Luke, or Thalia, or Percy, or Chiron, or a literal DOG? Who expresses passion like no other when it comes to architecture and her other interests? Who’s expressed compassion for people she didn’t know? People who at times posed a threat to her? Who isn’t afraid to be angry, or happy, or snide, or rude, or excited, or scared, or ecstatic? Who’s been unapologetically herself since the moment the series started? That’s who doesn’t show emotion? That’s Annabeth?

Leah Jeffries is playing Annabeth like she's one thousand years old in the body of a twelve-year-old and she is so correct.

i will never understand how people have the heart to hate Jason even after they found out that his Ambrosia tastes like fucking sawdust. Ambrosia being tasty is like one single happy thing a demigod can have despite their tragic lives, because it reminds them of the home they once had, but lost. And Jason doesn't even have that, he doesn't even have a home to lose in the first place.

I mean the cyclops were still after Luke Thalia and Annabeth while they were in the city, they might still get attacked and Annabeth may still resent cyclops/ be afraid of them. Also Rick himself has said multiple times that he now realised how problematic the whole Tyson arc was in SoM, so they might change it to be less ableist (don't know where the racism came from when it was obviously more ableist, they even use the r-slur in the books). Also Annabeth doesn't have to be traumatised to not like cyclops because she doesn't trust monsters anyway (as we saw with Medusa and Alecto)

I mean, yes and no. The cyclops are not the ones killing her, it changes a whole lot of things to me. Alecto is gone by the end of the episode, so that's done with. You say Annabeth doesn't trust monsters in general, and yes, but you use Medusa and Alecto as examples...two monsters who she specifically has bias toward because of history with her or her mother. You can't deny it'll be less powerful if she just mistrusts him because he's a monster and not because he's from the race of monsters who took her sister figure from her.

I'm interested to see how Rick turns Tyson's story though. Because I kind of disagree on it being problematic. Because everyone being suspicious of him and mean to him was clearly in the wrong. For me I think it was about both ableism and racism. Because demigods, and especially Annabeth, don't trust Tyson because of how different he is as a person (which had this whole double meaning of "different" kids looking down on basically one of them) but they also distrust him because of his race. Annabeth is annoyed by Tyson's seemingly being slow and dumb, but at her core she hates him for being a cyclop.

Maybe they want to get rid of this part, especially coming from Annabeth, but will keep the ableism. Maybe they'll put it all on Clarisse (which wouldn't be the best I think cause every kid needs to unlearn their bias and intolerance, not just the big meany bullies). But I think it'd be a really really bad idea to just do a 180° with the Annabeth/Tyson relationship because it brought one of the most important messages of the saga : tolerance and camaraderie.

[lilislegacy]

i know people make jokes and call percabeth their parents, but they are legitimately the most mom and dad coded characters i’ve ever seen. these two were BORN to be parents. they are literally 17 and already give off ‘married with 3 kids’ vibes

percy, with jeans full of pockets, none of which have anything remotely useful for 99% of situations (but he’s got plenty of jokes!)

and annabeth, with her literal mom purse, packed to the brim with anything that could possibly be needed in any situation

In the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians, 2 out of 3 romantic relationships Percy has are only interested in him as a form of escape from their current lives; Rachel and Calypso. Only Annabeth gets to know him as a person before wanting to peruse him as a romantic relationship, and even then she only does so knowing he will be able to stay. In this essay I will—

[aroaceleovaldez]

i have suddenly become obsessed with a theme that HoO established but never proceeded to extrapolate on, which is:

You are Percy Jackson, and you have been swapped with a boy who was allegedly everyone's favorite person, but they have decided to replace him with you. They just met you. You stand next to his best friend and the people he's known his entire life. In his home. In his cloak. In his place. They stopped looking for him.

You are Jason Grace, and you have just found out you have a long lost sister who completely replaced you in her life with this girl you just met. Your lives and personalities are mirrors. She is you, living the life you were robbed of.

You are Annabeth Chase, and you have just become starkly aware that you have been inhabiting the void left behind by your best friend's long lost brother. You and Luke were just replacements for him. Now you have to look him in the eyes when he has nothing and know you took that life from him.

You are Piper McLean, and you have just found out your relationship is fake and built entirely on the memories of Annabeth Chase. You have been given a boyfriend when hers has been taken away. You have no idea how much of it is real or not but regardless you feel like if your relationship isn't exactly in their image that you have failed.

You are Leo Valdez, and you have just learned that you are the echo of your great-grandfather. You are not your own person. You just exist to be a mirror of him. A doppelganger. An actor and stunt double facing all the danger he never had to but wearing his face. To be there for his best friend decades later simply because he couldn't. You are playing a role. A seventh wheel and a pawn for a goddess who carefully sculpted your entire life for her own purposes.

You are Hazel Levesque, and the only reason you are alive is because your brother couldn't save your his sister. You are a consolation prize. An apology. Your existence here is misplaced in every way but you inhabit it anyways.

You are Frank Zhang, and you are a shapeshifter. Inhabiting your own body feels strange and clumsy when you could be literally anything at any time. You are anything and everything and live your life with the simple certainty of knowing exactly how you will die.
