can we talk about revival religions i want to talk about it... i like cant stress enough how concerning it is that people cant tell the difference between a closed practice that you need to belong to a certain community to understand vs. a revival invented by hobbyists for fun based on the texts of a dead (or...made up) tradition that everyone has equal access to & say things like “percy jackson is problematic because there are people who worship apollo” & get taken in by racists and nationalists bc they say shit like “we need to reclaim our marginalised indigenous heritage”. if u think thatbeing born in a nation state thats landmass roughly corresponds with the collection of ancient city-states that produced some of the most widely-disseminated literature in the world somehow puts you in the same position as an indigenous person begging white neopagans to stop burning white sage you really really need to unpack that...

Yes. You are racist. (Buckle up, this is gonna be a long one)

So approximately half a year since the premier of the Disney+ Percy Jackson show, and almost two years since the announcement of the Trio's casting, I would like to take this moment to look back at the insane, racist and anti-black backlash that was launched at Leah Sava Jeffries and a few other cast members from the PJO fandom.

I'm not concerned with the trolls who are openly racist, who resorted to racist slurs and outright threats, everyone agrees that they "took it too far". I want to talk about the rest of you, the "I'm not racist, but.." people, the "What's wrong with wanting book accuracy?" people. Just to let you know, for the unasked question... yes, yes you are.

I've noticed the Percy Jackson fandom has been lording some weird superiority complex over a certain *unnamed* fandom that has fallen out of grace due to their recently outed bigot of an author. But honestly, y'all are not much different. The amount of vitriol and anti-blackness I have seen from this fandom (beyond just bullying a 12 year old girl), y'all don't have a leg to stand on.

Below is a breakdown of the most common arguments I have seen used to justify y'alls absolutely insane bigotry. I am going to explain why none of these justify the amount of anger and vitriol y'all have sent towards Leah, Rick or any of the cast.

I am not here to argue, and this is not a democracy. I am giving you a chance for some self-reflection and to understand that this pattern of violence directed towards POC actors (mostly black women) has never been justified in the name of "book accuracy"/"comic book accuracy"/"ending forced diversity" or whatever other excuses y'all try to make up.

If you still try to justify or argue further for any of these points, I will just block you. I am not coddling you through your racism. If anyone has seen any other dumb arguments floating around that I might've missed, feel free to sound off in the comments.

She's not book accurate:

Neither is Percy, Luke, Grover, Dionysus, Poseidon, and just about every other named character.

Rick already made it clear that physical features were not the priority with casting, rather it was actors that embodied the role. So why are the biggest complaints about Annabeth and Zeus? 🤔

What? You're gonna say everyone else got backlash too? I see you trying to obscure the main issue by playing dumb 😉

See my friend, yes, there were one or two comments about how Percy's hair should be black or how Luke is supposed to be blonde, but as soon as Leah was cast, none of those actors got any significant backlash. In fact, Walker and Charlie literally have an army of fan girls at their beck and call, calling them the perfect Percy and Luke, despite neither being "Book accurate". But then again, have we not observed the pattern of White boy of the month vs WOC to hate for the year? (Yes, I know Charlie isn't white. Further adds to the irony, doesn't it).

Why include character descriptions if you won't stay true to them, you cry? Well, my dear sweet moron, see, books and TV are two different mediums. Because in literature, you can't *Literally* SEE the characters, the author has to add descriptions to paint a picture in your mind, in TV... that's not an issue. So unless the character's appearance is necessary to the plot (like Luke's scar, or Nico being Italian) the show runners can actually focus on more important things.. Like ACTING and PERSONALITY.

2. It's just not how I imagined her:

News flash, babe! ANNABETH ISN'T REAL. None of these character are. They are concepts that originated from the brain of Mr. Rick Riordan. It doesn't matter how YOU imagined her. There are millions of people who read these books that imagined her several different ways. When the creator of the character watched Leah's audition and said, 'Yes! She embodies the character I created!", your imagined version of Annabeth ceased to matter. And guess what? The books still exist... they have not been burned. Your version of Annabeth has not disappeared. Go read the books.

3. Zeus can't be black/Gods have to be Greek/*Insert Character* can't be black:

Y'all did not read the books, I swear. You have to be fake fans looking to troll atp.

The gods move based off the center of western civilization. They change their forms/environment to reflect the culture they are occupying (they did it with Rome, now they're doing it with America). The gods change forms all the time. How we see them is not their true form as a mortal would disintegrate if they were to see their true form.

America is a cultural melting pot (specifically NY where Mount Olympus is now based). If the god's choose forms that reflect the current society they inhabit, they could literally be any race (keep in mind NYC is only 33% white).

All of this is literally SPELLED OUT in the Lightning Thief.

Furthermore, if you're going to push the ethnically Greek thing... Poseidon is British with a British accent and Hermes is Latino. The only ethnically Greek actor is Dionysus (who still doesn't look book accurate). Y'all are sounding like some white supremacists because do you forget that race is a social construct?

Before the advent of the transatlantic slave trade, I can promise you that the Greeks and the Anglo-Saxons did NOT view themselves as the same people. Why are y'all not taking issue with Poseidon's actor then?

Also, Percy Jackson has canonically had a slew of explicitly black demigods since the second book (including Harriet Tubman, which I have mixed feelings about 😭), so I genuinely have no idea where some of y'all are going with this point.

4. She was our smart blonde representation:

Don't pmo. I swear to God!

White, blonde women have NEVER been excluded from Hollywood. Representation is not something you lacked. The dumb blonde stereotype was a simple branch off of a larger misogynistic "dumb woman" stereotype. It has not truly been relevant since the mid 2000s outside of childish jokes.

This iteration of Percy Jackson will probably not go beyond the first 5 books, based off pacing and the age of the actors. So here's a fun game: 5 bucks to the first person who can find me a quote in the first 5 Percy Jackson books, where Annabeth laments her insecurities about being blonde (hint: there aren't any).

Also, her blonde hair does not hold her back at Camp because she is head of the Athena Cabin who are highly respected (and guess what?), ARE ALL BLONDE!

Her insecurities about her hair color are two or three lines at most in the later books, not this fundamental, core part of her character y'all all of a sudden wanna pretend it was. And guess what, as a non-blonde black girl, I was able to read those scenes of Annabeth feeling undervalued because of her looks and relate to her even if she didn't look like me at the time.

Why all of a sudden can y'all not do that with a black Annabeth? By every metric black girls are undervalued for their intelligence in academia more than white girls are, regardless of hair color. So your little representation of a woman undervalued by her looks would still hold. Do y'all dehumanize black women so much, that you are incapable of empathizing with show!Annabeth's plight in the way I could with Book!Annabeth simply because she doesn't look exactly like you?

Your issue isn't that she isn't blonde, it's that she is NOT WHITE.

Furthermore, Becky Riordan had tweeted previously (before the show was even cast) that Annabeth never needed to be blonde (probably recalling the BS y'all put Alexandra Daddario through), so even if they cast a white Annabeth, the blonde hair was never a guarantee. the author and producers all agree that it was not a significant part of her character. It's been a non-issue since day one.

Also, stop acting like smart blondes are rare in media... If you don't go watch some Legally blonde, Iron Man (Pepper Potts), Zack and Cody (Maddie), Liv and Maddie, FMAB (Winry), Captain Marvel, She-Ra, Buffy, The boys (starlight) etc. etc., and go sit down somewhere 🙄🙄🙄 (those were literally all things I've watched recently, off the top of my head, btw 💀)

5. It's not about race, but...:

Yes it is. It was always bout race. No other actors got as much hate as Leah. Her grandmother and other family members on IG had to mute their comments because they were getting so many threats.

Alexandra Daddario had to come to her defense on Twitter. Rick had to put out an official statement on his website. This girl has endured years of psychological torment for simply having the best audition. No one else is book accurate, no one else is ethnically Greek (except Jason Mantzoukas). Walker literally has British and German ancestry.

Why was she being called racial slurs on reddit and in youtube comments?

I know what you're gonna say, "I actually had problems with the entire cast", "I actually had a bigger issue with Walker's hair color", blah blah blah. Then why aren't you in Walker's comment sections? Why are you only making your displeasure known on posts defending/advocating for Leah? Why is she always your first example of 'wrong casting"?

Well, she "looks the most different"... Look up the term "scapegoating".

"Oh, I don't agree with the harassment. I just don't like the casting." Guess what? She's already been cast. They are not going to uncast her. What do you get out of still complaining about it.

All the vitriol you're stirring about her when you complain about her on Social media, it is directing people to send her hate, even if you're not writing it directly. It's is not enough to "not agree" with the racism, it is your duty to actively prevent it. And btw, these are young gen z actors, they are active on social media. They see the edits of themselves (even comment on it) and they most likely see these little "harmless" complaints you're posting. Are your upset feelings really worth contributing to the racist dogpile on this poor girl?

6. Why couldn't they atleast give her blonde braids?:

Why should they? Y'all wanted blonde because of the "dumb blonde" trope... that doesn't apply to POC.

A blonde black girl is gonna be viewed the same as a non-blonde black girl (or at worst, someone might decide she's "ratchet" or some shit for wearing colored hair). What difference would it make?

Why shouldn't Walker dye his hair, then?

7. Annabeth has Gray eyes:

Less than 3% of the global population has "gray eyes". Even if they cast a white actor, they would've needed contacts. Her being black is not the reason Annabeth's eyes aren't gray. Simply put, it is a plot element they removed, like the whole "names have power" element, or Ares having flames for eyes, or Dionysus using his powers to grow strawberries at Camp.

That's how adaptations work. Unnecessary plot elements are cut to save time and budget. This has nothing to do with her casting. They probably also didn't want to make child actors wear contacts (not a new practice).

8. Even if Rick chose her, he was wrong/Disney is forcing him to be okay with it:

Where do I start? Rick created the character. He can't be wrong. Do y'all have no self-awareness? Death of the author has no place here, because y'all are hung up on an aspect of the character that is not relevant to her arc or development.

Y'all's justification for wanting a "book accurate" Annabeth is that she was such an inspirational and important character growing up, and yet your behavior is so in conflict with the character you claim means so much to you. You're narrow minded, dismissive of bigotry and injustice, and disrespectful to the wishes of the creator of your favorite character; everything that Annabeth would never be. Y'all were never genuine fans of the books. You're bigots that needed an outlet for your rage.

Keep in mind, Rick has said countless times that PercaBeth directly mirrors his relationship with his wife. Y'all think he would have allowed them to cast someone who doesn't live up to the woman who has been by his side for decades? The mother of his children?

Regarding Disney forcing him, show me one piece of direct evidence that proves Disney in anyway pressured Rick to cast her. Cuz if you can't, that's baseless speculation. And if you have to resort to baseless speculation, maybe try to examine why it's so important to you to hold on to this belief.

9. So, I'm racist because I hate "race swapping"?:

To start, there is a difference between "race swapping" and "color blind casting". Often times, when y'all complain about the former, you're actually mad about the latter.

It would be "race swapping" if Rick and the team decided ahead of time that they wanted a black Annabeth and ONLY allowed black actors to audition. But the actual reality was that they accepted auditions from everyone (there were white actors and non-black poc that also auditioned for the role) and chose the best person who embodied the role. They didn't "make Annabeth black" and they didn't "make Zeus black", they cast black actors for those roles.

Y'all think you're being slick with your wording. Dismissing that is implying that they did not earn their roles fair and square. Which is racist. It's the equivalent of going up to a black college student and telling them they only got in because of affirmative action. You're dismissing the achievements of a person solely because of their racial background.

For all you people complaining about "unfairness" and "forced diversity", I would think hiring based on merit would appeal to you 🤔

71% of theatrical Hollywood leads were white in 2024 in comparison to 29% POC and you still think "black washing" is a thing? You still get this angry over a black person fairly earning a role because you think in a time where Hollywood only knows to do remakes and adaptations, that the majority of lead roles still *have* to be reserved for white actors?

Once again, white people have never been excluded from Hollywood for being white. Representation has never been something you lacked nor is it something you can lose. Your anger comes from seeing a black face where you think they don't belong. Because you feel you are owed a disproportion of representation in Hollywood.

10. Woke agenda/DEI/Forced Diversity:

If you are unironically using any of these terms in a negative light, it's already too late for me to reason with you. Look up the term "dog whistle". If you are sharing the same terminology with Elon Musk and his fanboys, maybe reevaluate some things.

POC are objectively underrepresented and have been historically excluded through actual laws and policies in Hollywood. There is no such thing as "forced diversity", you have bought in to a right wing conspiracy theory.

"Woke" is a term that was intentionally appropriated from the black community. It originally meant being aware of injustice and systematic threats to the community and is now being weaponized by bigots. Good job.

Diversity and inclusion is a good thing.

11. But POC deserve to have their own stories told:

We do. And we have been fighting for it for over a century now, and we've made great strides, no thanks to y'all.

No thanks to y'all gaslighting us about how little representation we get or that representation matters at all. No thanks to y'all pushing the idea that POC can't sell globally and obscuring POC actors in international promos. No thanks to y'all continuing to whitewash even to this day (Bullet train, the beguiled, gods of Egypt, atla, every portrayal of Jesus ever, etc.). No thanks to y'all calling every piece of media that has more than one black lead and more than one queer couple "woke". No thanks to y'all throwing a fit every time a black person in a fantasy setting isn't a slave.

Fact of the matter is, y'all never cared about POC "getting their own stories", you're only parroting our own words back to us now as a politically correct way of saying, "leave white roles alone" lmao

Well fun fact, actors of color getting opportunities to play lead roles and allowing poc to "tell their own stories" are not mutually exclusive. If y'all cared that much, instead of bullying a 12 year old actress, you could actually support up and coming independent POC writers, directors, and studios 😱

12. Studios need to stop "setting up" actors of color:

Do me a favor and google the term DARVO.

Your racism is not the fault of the studios for giving a POC actor a role that they earned. It is not up to the rest of society to tiptoe around racists to avoid their vitriol. It is our responsibility to hold them accountable and protect minorities from unwarranted hate. At most, you can say it's the responsibility of the studios to provide adequate support to POC actors who face this backlash.

At the end of the day, Hollywood only allows very few spots for POC actors (especially WOC), while simultaneously pushing a new white boy every month to put in everything. Putting minorities in these roles that are usually closed to them, usually opens the door to more actors of color than before.

Brandy being cast as Cinderella did a lot to push her into the mainstream (yes, she was already extremely famous in the black community atp), Halle Berry being the first, black, bond girl literally shot her to icon status, and even going as far back to what Anna Mae Wong did for Asian American actresses with her "femme fatale" roles.

At the end of the day, even with the backlash, *some* rep does more good for POC actors than *no* rep. The solution to racist backlash isn't to take away those opportunities, but rather to not be racist??? 🙄

Also, for everyone that claims that "POC race-swapping" is just as bad as "white-washing", despite white washing having a longer history and objectively causing more harm, note how the backlash to white washing never lasts as long as the harassment that POC get.

Like, no one brings up Scarlett Johansson's ghost in the shell role anymore, but you can best believe Candace Patton is still fending off racist trolls. As much as people hated the atla movie, people moved on quick from Nicola Peltz playing Katara since she was just a kid that accepted the role (re: daddy bought her the role), but y'all would not have any of that consideration for Leah Sava Jeffries.

But I digress...

13. What if we made Tiana white? Wakanda white? Hazel white...:

Ah, my favorite inane point. I was so excited to get here :)

See, I could start out by pointing out how "White washing" and casting a POC actor as a traditionally white character are not equivalent.

I could point out the history of hollywood ACTIVELY excluding POC actors and POC stories. I could point out how grossly over represented white people are in hollywood. I could point out that POC characters are so few in comparison that whitewashing them causes actual harm, where white people have never lacked rep.

I could point out how, because poc characters and stories are so often tokenized that their racial/cultural background is often directly tied to their character's identity, in opposition to a lot of white characters, since hollywood treats white as the "Default".

See, I could make all those points, but the thing is, the people who make this argument already know all that. They are trying to waste time by drawing me into a pointless circular argument that will sum up to "fair is fair", while ignoring all the context and nuance I previously provided.

So you know what? Forget it. Let me play your game.

I am actually fine with a white Tiana. Would it make sense, for her and her family to experience Jim Crow era racism, in the south while white? No. But we can look past it. Disney was never known for historical accuracy anyway 🤷🏿‍♀️

However, in exchange, the live action frozen will have a black Elsa and Anna, live action Rapunzel will be black, live action Merida will be black, we're re-filming Cinderella and Beauty and the beast to cast a black belle and Cindy, snow white will need to be recast as black, and we also get aurora whenever the live action sleeping beauty is announced. But then y'all can keep Tiana, deal?

You want a white T'Challa? Fine! (I'm partial to Ryan gosling), in the meantime, we'll be recasting Iron man, Captain America (Steve version), Bruce banner, Thor, Loki, hawk eye, black widow, ant man, captain marvel, Bucky, Peter Parker etc. All the avengers and their side characters, then y'all can have Sam Wilson, war machine and the whole of Wakanda (will it make sense that a sole, hidden, African nation is randomly made up of white people? Who cares? We get the avengers!).

You want white Hazel? You got her! I hope you have no problem with us taking Percy, Nico, Will, Poseidon, Jason, calypso, Rachel, Tyson, Silena, the stoll brothers, Sally Jackson, Hades, Hepheastus, ares, etc. But y'all can have Hazel and Beckendorf.

If we're gonna do this, let's commit all the way. Fair is fair, after all.

14. Leah isn't as "pretty" as Book Annabeth/Movie Annabeth:

I wish I could say this wasn't a genuine point I had read, but when all else fails, they will always go for a woman's appearance.

Now first of all, as a rule, I will never hold black women to white beauty standards. Our hair will never be long and silky enough, our nose will never be narrow enough, our skin will never be fair enough and our eyes will never be light enough (Might I recommend Toni Morrison, when you get the chance?). But Leah is unfairly gorgeous idc what any of you say, and you're not gonna have me use my defense of Leah as an opportunity to bash Alexandra either because she is also beautiful. These two queens slayed to the best of their abilities within this toxic ass fandom.

I find it funny, however, that so many of you harped on the "blonde" issue because you thought it was important that Annabeth be seen beyond just her looks, but quickly devolve to bashing an actress's looks when it comes to why she's not right for this role 🤔

I would also like to sincerely apologize that the 13 year old girl they cast in the show, wasn't as sexually attractive to you as the 24 year old woman they cast in the movie and sexualized through like 25% of her screen time (I'm actually not sorry. You're very weird if this is an actual point for you).

15. I don't agree with sending hate to the actor, but she's just not right for the role:

Once again, what are you doing by complaining about her casting on no other basis than her race?

The creator of the character said she embodied the role. She has already been cast, and Disney would be in a legal/production hell to recast her atp. Just because you're not directly leaving comments on her social media doesn't mean you're not part of the hate mob.

No matter how you look at it, your issues with her casting come from a very entitled and narrow-minded place. When you join in on these dialogues you are bolstering a sentiment that pushes more people to harass this teenage girl. When you leave these "harmless" complaints, on show content, fan posts or posts defending her, she's liable to read them because the cast regularly interact with fans online.

What do you have to say that is so important that it trumps protecting a young girl from the long-staying trauma of racism, of being told she doesn't deserve something she worked for because of how she was born?

16. I can't even criticize the show without being called racist:

Get. Over. Yourself.

Y'all are not the victim. Have fans of the show gotten protective of Leah and the young cast? Yes.

With good reason. This fandom is unbearably toxic.

Racism outweighs your need for a "perfect adaptation", sorry.

If you explain yourself properly and keep your critiques fair (like, even I don't think this was a perfect season, and will be sharing my thoughts shortly), no one is gonna call you racist.

You're preempting with that because in all honesty, you're probably planning to use your "critiques" of the show to pivot to one of the many points that I just outlined, and you want to pre-empt the criticism.

If a black Annabeth is the end all be all for you, just don't watch the show, no one's holding a gun to your head. Geez.

17. I'm Black/POC and I don't agree...:

Hey, Candace Owens... No one gives a shit.

First of all, for all the "I'm POC and I don't agree" people, you don't speak for us. Anti-blackness is rampant in just about every culture globally. You being not-white doesn't somehow make you less prone to hating black people.

But for the "I'm black and I don't agree" leftovers (assuming you're not just a 👩🏼‍💻 behind a keyboard). Black people are not a monolith. You're not obligated to think a certain way because you're black.

But consider why you're putting yourself up as a barrier to protect this hate mob. It's one thing to just state why you don't like Leah's casting, but to start off your spiel with "I'm actually black" as a way to weaponize the very identity politics you're critiquing... very strange. Not to mention, what are you defending?

The black community is coming together to defend one of our own, a kid who has been receiving death threats since she was 12, and this is when you feel the need to back the opposition?

I mean whatever... sometimes the house slaves would snitch to the master. There will always be some of y'all in the woodwork. It is what it is.

But when the exact ideology you defend is turned against you, when a Baltimore elected official is being accused of getting his job through "DEI", when conservatives are claiming that they wouldn't "trust a black pilot", don't decide that's where you'll finally draw your line in the sand.

All that being said, This is my Annabeth:

May every tongue that rose against Leah Sava Jeffries Shrivel and die in 2025 🙏🏿 My girl will keep winning ❤️

Hi!if ya do headcanons could you maybe do platonic Headcanons for Percy Jackson x Fem reader who’s a daughter of hades?And he’s readers only friend also she’s very passionate about books and sparring!!

Platonic! Percy Jackson x Daughter of Hades! Reader Headcannons

(A/n; Hi! Thank you so much for the request! I’ve never really done headcannons, so I’m sorry if this isn’t that great…. Hope you like it!)

First of all, you met Percy when you were skating outside the library near his home. You were on your way to the library to check out some new books (for the third time that week) when you crashed directly into someone.

Percy was stunned as he was waiting for Annabeth to finish checking out her books when some girl that looked like she just robbed a hot topic store crashed her skateboard right into him (seriously? Can’t he catch a break?)

After you apologized profusely, you two began to talk. Percy thought you were pretty cool, and he told you that you reminded him of this short Italian kid he knew.

You soon said your goodbyes and you went inside, never to see each other again… or so you thought

When summer came you were brought to chb, and you felt so out of place, ESPECIALLY when you were claimed by Hades himself.

You were shocked to see Percy at camp. He immediately recognized you and you two started to catch up.

During your time at camp, you didn’t really make many friends, so Percy would talk to you and you both quickly became good friends.

Being at camp made you realize quite a few things. 1. The Athena kids are pretty cool (aka they let you set near them to read and since no one bothered them, no one bothered you.) 2. You LOVED sparing, and you were GREAT at it too! 3. The Stoll brothers looked hilarious when they got pushed into the lake (a view you got to see curtesy of one of the Aphrodite kids, something about putting slime in their leave-in conditioner)

Percy would sometimes spar with you, although you were loath to admit that you couldn’t win against him, although he was quick to offer tips to help you improve.

Percy might not have been much of a reader himself, but he is always happy to lend you an ear for you to rant about the book you’re reading.

All in all, Percy is a great friend and while he might not always be into what you are, he’s always ready to listen and show interest for your sake.

(I’m REALLY sorry, this is my first time doing headcannons so they’re not that good…. I hope this is at least what you were looking for!)

What kind of Music do they Listen to 🎵 🎧

Masterlist | Rules

Content: Headcanons

Warning: None

Pairing(s): None

Character(s): Percy, Jason, Frank, Leo, Nico, Annabeth, Piper

Percy Jackson

Let’s be realistic here 

Percy is a kid from New York

I know nothing about New York expect it was stolen from my ancestors and that it had some crazy shit happening in the 70s  

And whatever was in Hamilton 

I feel like Percy would listen to a mix of rap and mainstream music 

He would listen to Kendrick Lamar, Lil Mabu, Eminem, Kanye (I know he’s a weird and bad guy), and Tyler, the Cartor

He thinks he can rap

He can not 

But will try for anyone who lets him

Jason Grace

2000s white girl songs

Rihanna, Fergie, Kesha, you know the classics 

Who doesn’t love that genre of white girl music 

It happy and classic

But also a huge fan of the Fleet Foxes

And that of course means he loves father john misty and Lana Del rey

Frank Zhang 

I just know Frank listens to Canadian artists 

Like everything from Nickelback to The Tragically Hip

But also bands like Mother Mother

And the Weekend 

And Drake 

And Justin Bieber

But his music taste isn’t limited to Canadian classics 

He loves ambiance music/Brown noise 

Sometimes, he just wants to listen to nothing but something 

Leo Valdez

Country 

Not like “I hate my wife” Country 

Let’s not forget Leo is from Taxes

He obviously loves the classic like Marty Robbins

But I see him listening to Zach Bryne, Dolly Parton, and Carrie Underwood

You can’t convenience me that he doesn’t love the song “Before He Cheats” 

That shit was blasting when Argo II was being built

He gets into the music 

Like screams it while it plays

Doesn’t matter if he is with other people 

I also get the vibe he would listen to some Spanish artists 

Like oldies.  Stuff his grandfather and mother would have listened to 

Because the people you grow up with influence your music 

Artist like: Chavela Vargas, Jeanette, and Eydi Gormé

Nico Di Angelo

Old man Nico would listen to Italian music 

But as he gets older I see him listening to artists like Radiohead or The Smiths 

Because he is a bit of a sad boy 

Maybe even some more modern Italian musicians like Fiordaliso or 

Would also get into Ska Music 

Specially 2 tone Ska

I see him liking The Specials, Prince Buster, and Madness

He would also love Amy Winehouse 

Annabeth Chase

Movie/TV soundtracks 

Loves the song where it’s all instrumental 

I think she would be a huge fan of Bear McCreary, Ramin Djawadi, and Hans Zimmer

She wouldn’t even watch the show the songs are in 

She just enjoys the sound of music

When she does eventually watch movies, you know the Prince of Egypt soundtrack took her out 

Piper Mclean

I think she would be a HUGE Dido, Kate Bush, Cranberries fan

Would also be the type to have their music influenced by Tiktok 

Nothing wrong with that

It happens to me 

The top song is Grafton Street by Dido

argo2nauts music headcannons because this is too much

the misinformation some of you guys have spread regarding their music taste is insane/hj

(p.s: this is my take on this, if you disagree it’s alright!! it’s just fun and games :D)

(ps2: if any artist/band i mention is problematic please lmk!!)

percy - perseus jackson is a pretty intimidating skater kid with a resting bitch face who is covered head to toe in scars and has his ears pierced. where did the ‘high school musical/disney sitcom’ percy allegations come from. he likes led zeppelin (he canonically has a t shirt in toa if i can remember!!), childish gambino, d4vd, late night drive home, deftones, arctic monkeys, and chase atlantic.

fav song -

annabeth: this is a bit harder.. i think her music taste is either extremely varied or only listens to one album on repeat until her ears bleed. for my sanity i’m going with the former. i think she’d cry over boygenius and mitski (for obvious reasons) and i think she’d like sombr and famous 70/80s guys like queen, david bowie, ac/dc, the smiths ofc. and such. also mac demarco and phoebe bridgers!!!!”!?

fav song -

grover underwood - ADRIANNE LENKER!!!!!: THERE IS NOT A DOUBT IN MY MIND ABOUT IT. all of her songs suit him in one way or another. he needs to be seen more i love him to death. underrated man fr. also late night drive home, beach house, dream ivory, the smiths, queen, cas, WAVE TO EARTH!!!!!

fav song -

i know what youre thinking. “mali, will you ever shut up about this song?” answer is no. i will not.

piper mclean - CHAPPELL ROAN CHAPPELL ROAN IS HERRSSSS??? CASUAL? GOOD LUCK BABE???? HERS!!!! honorable mention: girl in red because don’t forget your roots. also madds buckley MAYBE? idk. also probably cas 🤷‍♀️

fav song -

nico - oh my beloved. he’d definitely listen to italian music when he misses bianca/maria but idk any italian artists so… for now we’re going with english music. and also very specific turkish song: m. by anil emre daldal because will. i’m thinking mitski, roar, mac demarco, OBVIOUSLY SUFJAN STEVENS??? cults, alex g, grimes, also very specifically: cupid by jack stauber? MAYBE conan gray… idk. and also definitely nirvana and guns n roses

fav song -

i heard this song while thinking of him and my heart SHATTERED guys do not make the same mistake i did.

hazel - i?? don’t know? really uhh… probably gracie abrams or adrianne lenker? phoebe bridgers, beach house?? soft rythm/music, deep/depressing lyrics. maybe tnbh but DEFINITELY current joys and adrianne lenker

(yes i made these first songs a rainbow on purpose (not rlly..) shut up i thought it’d be funny)

also this is her favorite song because it reminds her of nico and maybe marie, specifically the first lines!! (marceline [nico], is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world?)

frank zhang - MAC DEMARCO!! BEACH HOUSE!! TV GIRL!! CONAN GRAY!! MONTAN FISH!! GANG OF YOUTHS!! also his grandmother liked to listen to songs in mandarin and he likes remembering her so he constantly listens to 茉莉花 (Mòlìhuā) and uhh if you have any other old mandarin songs lmk :D!! and honorable mention: it almost worked by tv girl

fav song -

because it was his mother’s favorite song

jason grace - this is difficult.. like very. i don’t think he’d listen to music very much and it’s getting hard to not keep repeating artists. rmcm maybe? laufey, probably.. he listens to pretty much everything his friends to. he’s very flexible when it comes to music :)

fav song -

will solace - controversial maybe but i don’t think he’d like taylor swift very much.. no problem with her but i’d just like to see more variety in will’s music taste hcs. i think he’d love mac demarco (he’s been mentioned lke 8 times by now but he really is will’s favorite artist), tv girl, beach weather, the smiths, chappell roan, current joys, vacations, lemon demon, sufjan stevens, boygenius. conan gray, specifically summer child because it was written for him (i would know conan told me), and obviously the entirety of the mamma mia soundtrack. because it’s will.

fav song -

from the same album as nico because symbolism and that entire song is for them and tyem only (and also achicleos)

leo valdez - MY BELOVED!! very specifically the spanish part in stress relief (si puedes venir conmigo, amor, yo te enseño todo lo que hay. pq me tratas asi?? como no soy nadie ITS VALGRACE GUYS!!) uhh also chappell roan.. and your best american girl by mitski. and the smiths and queen and pavement. and lemon demon, the strokes, the cure.. maybe nirvana? and the front bottoms

fav song -

ok thats it im lagging so hard bye

[caliburn-the-sword]

a (non)comprehensive list of all characters that i as a child decided were asian because representation hardly existed in the early 2010's, with varying degrees of asian-coding and/or canon. it also gets more unhinged

will not be tagging SHIT because i would like to not experience hate but also i feel like my mutuals would somewhat enjoy this. as a kid, my only requirements were that they either 1) had dark hair 2) had dark eyes or 3) had unnatural hair/eye/skin colour in which case i could go nuts

list is under the cut:

you liked these fairies cause you were gay?? i liked them because they were asian to me we are NOT the same (i am also gay). both are asian coded so i wasn't wrong. also shoutout to vidia for being asian and an absolute BITCH. i think her back is sore from carrying the bitchy asian rep. no one's doing it like her

musa from winx. also asian coded so it works

batman. NOT to be confused with bruce wayne. bruce wayne is white af even to me as a child. but when he had the mask on i could project on him and call him chinese

dick grayson's robin in almost all cartoon iterations (pictured above in the batman) but also including:

to be clear, this is NOT to be confused with dick grayson the civilian, or dick grayson as nightwing. by my 9 y/o logic those guys were both white af. but when dick grayson had the robin mask on that gave room for me to project, as such they're asian

zatanna zatara is wasian IN MY HEART. to ME her mum is chinese and obvi her dad is italian so she's almost just like me (chinese/spanish). idc argue with the wall

superman but ONLY the justice league unlimited version

huntress bertinelli, for the same reasons as zatanna, was always wasian to me. but she gave off half korean, half italian vibes. i will not explain myself

now is raven from a different plane than us?? yes. however azarath is home to asians idek

sorry guys jinx is a bad bitch so she's also asian

while we're at it, beast boy is also asian but ONLY in teen titans. unfortunately young justice beast boy is whitewashed (he was never asian to begin with). i asked my sister if she ever asian-washed characters when watching tv she said no (rudeass) but i provided multiple teen titans as an example and my mum was like "wait?? beast boy isn't asian?? i thought he was asian??" so beast boy is actually mum-approved-asian. i don't make the rules

draculaura from monster high was always asian to me idc what the haters say. everyone say thank you to the monster high reboot for giving me asian draculaura because frankly i deserve it

also. robecca steam is south asian in my heart

jackson jekyll was also asian. idk. he just was

now, since the eah reboot made draculaura wasian i'm BEGGING for there to be an eah reboot because they will do my girl raven queen justice. SHE is asian

kitty cheshire is also asian i don't make the rules

sorry guys duchess swan is also asian

while i'm at it, faybelle thorn is also asian talk to the wall

now i need you guys to pinky promise to be nice to me. percy jackson was wasian to me until ethan nakamura was introduced. only after ethan's introduction did my 13 y/o ass let percy be white again

tony stark is asian but ONLY in iron man armoured adventures

now, a plethora of xmen evolution characters are actually asian (source: i made it the fuck up) these include, but are not limited to: wolverine, x23, wanda and pietro

what are some good tv shows/movies u recommend? i have nothing good to watch😥

I've got A LOT to recommend.

Red eye (thriller drama, Cillian Murphy is playing the villian 😉 plot is amazing, it can give you literal goosebumps 😭)

The 5th wave (Absolutely underrated, the most inappropriate scenes only involve kissing & cuddling)

Totally killer (100% plot, time traveling, meeting your mom, fighting against a killer and all that. Tw: gore)

Baby (my favorite Italian series on Netflix, hottest actors, teenage drama and high school problems, tw LOTS of 18+ content)

The maze runner (I think you know this one, you HAVE TO see it. My fav fandom after Harry Potter. Book series are much more detailed and better tho)

Percy Jackson and the Olympians (not the modern one, watch the old movie series, I LOVE it, books are also the best)

Game of thrones (ABSOLUTE masterpiece, books are also chef's kiss)

Pride and prejudice (if you want some old times romance with passion and all that, it's perfect for you)

The hot chick (my favorite 'mean girls' type of movie!)

The kingdom of the planet of the apes (just watched it in the movie theater, IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, you can watch it illegally on myflixer.com, also the other movies above)

Anne with an e (absolutely amazing series, it's a romance and comedy, also a drama. MUST SEE IT!)

⠀⠀⸺⠀⠀about ★ when their lives got intertwined thanks to that old apartment in the central part of madrid, neither of them knew that they would end up being such good friends, almost like family. years after their first meeting, their bond is the same, and each one tries to be successful in their own field, always returning to the familiarity and warm of atenea's room at night, when the tiredness wins. one day, abril receives an invitation from the brand she is ambassor of to go to a fashion show in the city they live in, and she coincides with three idols she barely knows about. that same week they meet again at the amusement park where they go to celebrate the twins' birthday, and from then on it seems that destiny is determined to bring them together no matter what ━not that they're compaining at all.

★.ㅤㅤ —⠀⠀ATENEA（ mom of the group ）⠀❞ 

12 / 02 / 1996 ⊹    bang chan : from an early age she knew she wanted to be a writer. with the support of her parents and having spent the last years of high school in america, she managed to publish her first book, if we were villains, under a pseudonym. her dark narrative allowed her to sign a contract with leigh bardugo to be in charge of the sequel to her trilogy and therefore write the six of crows duology. thanks to her anonymous influence, she even managed to co-write the screenplay for the percy jackson series and continue to live a normal life in the spanish capital, playing her guitar, crocheting, scribbling whatever on her journal and travelling between the english-speaking country and the appartment she shares with her best friends.

★.ㅤㅤ —⠀⠀MIGUEL（ dad of the group ）⠀❞

⊹    07 / 04 / 1997 : tied to la latina, his neighbourhood in madrid, by his hard-working single mother and a mechanic's garage where he works with his uncle, miguel got a scholarship at university to study computer programming. with a reputation as a fuckboy but a heart of gold, he would put his group of friends ahead of any girl. he is calm and reserved, able to bring order when the energy overflows, but also the first to join the party when it's proposed as a plan. with a modest passion for tattoos, he has been in charge of getting his friends' tattoos and piercings done. he's a very familiar and warm boy, dedicated to his loved ones.

★.ㅤㅤ —⠀⠀CARLA（ calm kinky badass ）⠀❞

21 / 03 / 1998 ⊹    kim seungmin :  after deciding to move from her sister's appartment in barcelona to study her dream career, carla has worked hard to get to where she is. her grades never fall below an a+, dedicated to the study of psychology, dog and coffee lover. she wouldn't turn down a good book, although she prefers podcasts about real crimes. she likes carmine red, and old money core, always well dressed and sharp eyed. she's been a kpop fan for years, stay since predebut, although very few people know her real music taste. her collection of stray kids albums is as secret as her mind is mischievous, always longing for the spiciest experiences in her bed.

★.ㅤㅤ —⠀⠀LEO（ depressed sunshine ）⠀❞ 

⊹    15 / 10 / 1998 : surrounded by high expectations and toxic behaviour, since his father separated him from his italian family and took him to ibiza, leo became a taciturn child. with bad looks and a tempestuous temper, he fought against his parents until they let him study architecture in the spanish capital, far from their influence. retaining that rage that moved him and a slight addiction to smoking, he met his friends sharing a cigarette after his first boxing class at the gym. a fan of cats and inseparable from his nintendo switch, it has always been clear to him that his future is his own, and that he will fight to achieve the stability he was denied as a child.

★.ㅤㅤ —⠀⠀LUCAS（ drama queen bastard ）⠀❞

⊹    18 / 05 / 1999 : despite being twins, lucas has always adopted a big brother role with isabel, in a desperate effort to protect her from witnessing their parents' pathetic attempt to save their marriage. living in a home where yelling and arguing are the usual stuff, lucas found refuge in numbers, which always ended up making sense in some way, and in becoming the most feisty and impertinent kid possible. dedicated to the hook up culture but even more to his group of friends, lucas is the most iconic chess player ever known: slender and vibrant appearance of guaranteed laugh, chaotic bisexual energy and sarcastic remarks.

★.ㅤㅤ —⠀⠀ISABEL（ soft golden retriever aura ）⠀❞

18 / 05 / 1999 ⊹    seo changbin & lee felix :  the sunshine blonde beauty from murcia, who gave up the unhealthy physique her parents wanted her to have by dedicating herself to taking care of her body and achieve the muscles of one of the best swimmers in her hometown. wanting to grow big enough to protect her twin brother from the demons that assaulted him when no one was looking, isabel gave up college and her future as a doctor to dedicate herself body and soul to the gym and the pool. highly confused about her love life, she finds a peaceful state of mind while playing the piano and building legos. every chance she gets she grows her nail polish collection, a little hobby she has cultivated while also growing her self-esteem

★.ㅤㅤ —⠀⠀LARA（ idgaf artsy energy ）⠀❞ 

01 / 07 / 1999 ⊹    hwang hyunjin :  spending her afternoons after school at the museum of contemporary art in cuenca, where her father works, was one of the reasons why lara became interested in art. she grew up among brushes, watercolors, canvases and paintings, always eager to learn anything related to the different styles used in all the paintings she saw on the internet. she ended up traveling to madrid to study art history, wanting to save enough money to travel to italy and be able to dedicate herself to any museum that decided to hire her. hippie-looking and friendly, the snake bites she asked miguel for and her frown hint the complex personality of a girl who will plan your murder if you disturb her, especially if you interrupt her when she's doing puzzles.

★.ㅤㅤ —⠀⠀ABRIL（ chaotic partner in crime ）⠀❞

02 / 06 / 2000 ⊹    yang jeongin :  as the older sister of two teenage boys, april has always taught them about the importance of respecting and being respectful of those around you, especially women, who usually always lose out in any conflict. and thanks to her fierce yet gentle way of looking at life, and her bubbly personality, she made a place for herself in the spanish-speaking influencer scene. recording little vlogs of her day to day life, sharing beauty tips and her opinion on the latest fashion caught the attention of the number one on the spanish textile industry, selecting her as the ambassador of their brand to go to fashion catwalks. obsessed with makeup and paris, kpop enthusiast and lover of sunny afternoons, it is thanks to her that her followers adore all her friends, always talking about them with infinite love and affection.

★.ㅤㅤ —⠀⠀NOA（ problematic reckless behaviour ）⠀❞

20 / 09 / 2000 ⊹    lee minho & han jisung :  the chaotic maknae of the group, with her hyperactive energy and infectious laughter, is the truly description of danger. tired of traveling between her father's home and her mother's apartment, and the victim of an amicable divorce, she knew her only option was to develop her talent for dancing in one of the most famous studios in madrid. and when she was lucky enough to get in, and find a group of girls looking for a roommate, she knew life was smiling at her. with two cats and a delightful love for food, noa is always the life of the party. outgoing and fearless, she is determined to live life to the fullest, not caring in the least what others think of her, and making life miserable for her friends, who love her madly.

Gia di Fiore, better known as Maze, the lead singer of Chronically Unfinished. Happy girl with a broken heart who is definitely not over her ex girlfriend bestfriend

This is th MC of @infamous-if, my new hyperfixation

A few facts abour her and the band

Full name: Gianna di Fiore

Stage name: Maze, she grew up reading percy jackson

Band name: Chronically Unfinished. They were teens when they came up with the name, it had to be dramatic and intense. Pretty sure Rowan thought it sounded funny

Gender: female (she/her)

Singing and speaking voice: Reneé Rapp, the girl can belt

Music genre: popy sound heavy on instruments. Leah Kate meets Dylan with a bit of Em Beihold

"Echoes" is the band best song at the moment and the only one that makes mention to seven's departure and the hurt that came with it. Gia refuses to sing about it, about the break up, about her relatiomship with seven, about how she fell in love with her and still is

Personality: there are big diferentes between Maze and Gia. In stage Maze bask in the atention, she is the personification of confidence. She's funny, witty and even flirty but on top of that, she is nice. Probably that kindness is the nexus between Gia and Maze.

Gia is a bit like Clark Kent, when she leaves the satge and put on her glasses that halo of attacttion dissipate, and she loves it. Loves being more unknown than Maze, loves her baggy jeans and her oversized hoodie. Loves walking around being a nobody.

Her life would be so much easier being a nobody but she was born to make music, it's her dream and she has already lost to much to give it up, so she'll have to come to terms with her life being public.

Random facts and a few headcanons:

☆ Gia plays the piano

☆ She kinda hated her last name but Seven used to call her tulip so she didn't care that much

☆ She was born in Milan but moved to the states when she was 8

☆ Speaks italian fluently, she even has a couple of songs in her journal

☆ Noboy reads her journal. Only Seven did. Sometimes.

☆ Plays the piano and uses it for songwriting. Will fight anyone to prove that her instrument is the best

☆ She went to college, studied history specialising in greece and the roman empire. Tough years.

☆ Her parents paid for it thinking she would forget about music

☆ Gia loves football, the european one and one of her dreams is going back to milan and watch a match in San Siro and sing "Sarà perché ti amo"

☆ She sang that song to seven and now it hurts a bit but...whatever

☆ Her journal is full of dodles

☆ Exercise is one of her coping mechanisms

☆So is smoking, something really bad for the lead singer but only does it when stressed

☆ Gia doesn't know how she ended up with so many tattos, it was going to be only one. She covers seven's initials with bracelets can't bring herself to erased them

☆ For some reason she's in love she still keeps a necklace with the letter S

☆ This is the pinterest, mostly vibes

☆ Not every song sees the light

She grew up bickering with her little brother who she loves and would protect at all costs. Her dad was her hero growing up seeing him as a role model and being somewhat of a daddy's girl. She loves her mother as well and admires her as well and turns to her for advice in choosing a specialty. Despite wanting to go into general surgery like her father when she started her residency Lucy discovered her true passion lies in pediatrics. She and her cousin, Luna Karev, are especially close. Lucy grew up with a brother, so she regarded Luna as the sister she never had. She has difficulties during her fellowship when she inherits her father's bipolar disorder but thanks to support from her coworkers and family, she is able to live with this disease and become a great surgeon like her father. Lucy DeLuca grows up into a caring and compassionate surgeon who earned her place with her brains instead of her family legacy.
