I started reading the Percy Jackson books when I was ten, as they were first coming out. I felt an immediate connection with Annabeth. She was a 12-year-old blonde girl who was tough, and smart, and brave, and a huge nerd. I was a scrawny blonde 5th grader who was smart, and tried to be tough, and tried to be brave, and got a lot of “dumb blonde” jokes lobbed at me. I loved seeing myself in Annabeth. She meant a lot to me growing up - and her character still means a lot to me now, 16 years later.
And. I am so, so excited for Leah Sava Jeffries to play Annabeth Chase. I am so, so excited for Black girls to see themselves in her too; to see themselves portrayed as tough, and smart, and brave, and nerdy. I am so excited for all the kids watching this show to see Annabeth Chase as a Black girl. It meant so much to privileged little me to see a smart blonde girl fight and think and love her way through the world of Percy Jackson and I believe with my whole heart that it means even more to see a smart Black girl do that. Blonde Annabeth was important to me, and so is Black Annabeth. These things are both true.
I hope that Disney and Rick do Leah justice. I am confident that Leah will do justice to Annabeth.
I am so excited for this girl, and I am so excited to see PJO come to life in a way that reflects the heart and soul of the books I grew up with.

my rrverse takes:
magnus is an underrated character in his own series
lester/apollo and magnus were BY far the funniest narrators
i didn't like jason's death but it was necessary and it made sense
i actually liked meg, she had a great storyline and she wasn't annoying
piper was queer from the beginning
with enough training hazel could probably be stronger than percy and jason
percy would end jason in a fight in two seconds flat
reyna, samirah, and hazel are the most badass rrverse women ever
i love toa but if i had to choose i would rather have five mcga books and three toa books
fierrochase and zarter are the most underrated ships in the fandom im right
mcga had HUGE potential as a series and rick def could have done more with it and added more books but didn't and i am very mad about that
rick's representation is very flawed both in poc's and lgbtq characters
(the feather in the hair, the food skin color descriptions, the fact that the only three latinx/hispanic characters come from abusive backgrounds, making leo call calypso "mamacita" in tdp, giving poc characters inherently non poc traits (hazels hair and eyes and pipers eyes), having samirah's hair out of her hijab at some points, making anubis white (biggie on that one), making his only book series with two mixed race main characters have three books instead of five)
(the genderfluid shapeshifter trope, outing nico and giving him the most trauma out of the seven but "hey it's okay because he gets a boyfriend", giving leo a girlfriend when he was very obviously into jason (and even then he didn't need to date anyone i really like the head canon that he is aro), making a slur of sorts for alex and having multiple main characters say it, making his only book series with a very openly queer main character (alex but also magnus at the end) have three books instead of five)
leo did NOT need to get a girlfriend, he should have stayed single as it was better for his character development
tj needs more recognition in the fandom i love him
annabeth was def one of the more powerful of the seven even though she didn't have powers and a lot of the people that hate her are just misogynistic (as well as piper)
not even a take but just a fact what the fuck was rick ON making anubis white like he is quite literally an egyptian god he is most definitely black
also not a take but like. please we need more people talking about tkc in the fandom i love it sm and no one is talking about it. the characters are amazing and i guarantee if carter and sadie were white they would've gotten more recognition
feel free to add on

are you team "magnus is blitzstone shipper #1 and he knew they had a crush on each other since before they started dating"
or team "magnus is oblivious to blitz and hearth dating and he thought they were just really good friends until he found out like 2 years after they were married"
