Annabeth Chase • Daughter of Athena

my girl from february <3 i can’t remember if the casting was out but either way i had an inkling

Annabeth is Annabeth because she faces and fights monsters and she isn’t afraid. In the real world, we have our own demons and monsters. And our New Annabeth has been facing those monsters since she was announced. Already Leah Jeffries has proven when she shouldn’t have had to, that SHE IS ANNABETH.

She is Annabeth and she IS a BOOK ACCURATE Annabeth. Annabeth in the books isn’t Annabeth because she’s blonde, many other characters were blonde too. Her hair and race didn’t make her Annabeth.

Annabeth is Annabeth because she is intelligent, quick footed, a careful thinker, strategist, architect, creative. She is Annabeth because she’s insecure, doesn’t trust easy, lonely, can honestly be as impulsive as Percy at times, prideful. She is confident, sure and unsure, independent, caring.

Annabeth is powerful and strong and I have no doubt that Leah Sava Jeffries is too.

“Leave ‘em in the dust, sis”

Look how far we’ve come

"they were picked for the role because their acting was the best outta everyone"

is usually what you lot say when it comes to a white actor/actress who was casted for a bipoc character in a movie {Wanda from the MCU, the ancient one from Dr. Strange, Ghost in the shell, DBZ the movie, etc}

"they are hire just for diversity points"

Is usually said when a bipoc specifically a black woman is chosen for a white character {Ariel, Annabeth etc}

Fuck off with your bullshit narrative about how these characters aren't how they were describe in the books/movie guess what fucktards the original little mermaid was about the author and his love for another man so if we wanna get technical Disney isn't describing the original plot right either.

Annabeth is black, Ariel is black these characters are giving beautiful representation to little black girls and giving them a chance to see themselves on the big screen

Tony Weaver Jr on tik tok said it best

A lot of us had to find ourselves in characters that didn't resemble us but we were still able to view ourselves as these characters

if you can't do the same than I highly suggest you turn off your screen and change it to the millions of other shows that you can see yourself as

Rick Riordan has his flaws, but I truly applaud him for defending Annabeth's actress from the racist harassment she has received.

The ones complaining about Annabeth chase are racist. I will not change my mind at all. Y’all can be mad all y’all want about the casting but at the end of the day that’s the cast we got. Move on because these think pieces are getting ridiculous especially at y’all big age.

And don’t come to me saying what if they changed your favorite character to white. As if that shit don’t happen.

Im finna hurt some feelings. Mkay.

Oh no. Not the yt blondes feeling..sad cuz they dont get represented.

Im sorry youre shown as dumb sometimes?? Im soo sorry for you. How very unfortunate.

Annabeth is black now. You know how many white people you assholes have to look to?? Stop tryna feel like it was sad being blond, holy shit.

Black people STILL are barely represented and when we are no one gives a shit cuz its the characters no one thinks its relevant, or we're shown in shows being the most annoying stereotypes in the damn world, finally a black girl that isnt light skin gets to be a main character of a FANTASTY show. She gets to be the daughter of a greek goddess,

Shut the fuck up. Im soo sorry blonde people havent been represented for once.

the scariest scene for me in the show is when annabeth is aggressive toward the police officer. i was so afraid for her life. because she doesn't know to be wary. because she and her dad never had that conversation. hand downs. scariest scene.

hey not to get emotional abt racial diversity in the new pjo show again but guys :(( little boack girls are going to see leah sava jefferies as annabeth and see that they can be smart and strong and do great things. little indian kids will see aryan as grover and see that they can be the glue holding their entire fucking society together. the percy jackson series was so fucking huge to me as a neurodivergent blonde kid like annabeth is my Fucking Girl and im so excited for little black girls to be able to see themselves in her the way i did as a kid and i know this is like the third or fourth time ive said it but like :((( guys annabeth is black. annabeth is black!!!!!

With the casting of season two of PJO coming up, I keep seeing people talk about who they want for certain roles like Tyson, Thalia, Silena, etc., but I think we’re forgetting about the most obvious and important casting decision. By that, I mean I will never be truly happy until Jack Black is cast as Blackjack. I genuinely couldn't care less about the casting; I trust the casting director with my life, but if I don’t get to hear the voice of Jack Black call Walker Scobell "boss,” I don’t think I’ll ever be truly satisfied. If Lin Manuel Miranda can be Hermes, I fully believe we can get Jack Black

agent a and agent p, where are your suitcases?

Percy Jackson things for you ✨

Today is the season finale and one only can imagine how tall Walker Scobell is going to get by SoM, my wishes is that they give Leah a stool so she can tower over him.

"Percy didn't think much of fates and prophecies, but he did believe in one thing: Annabeth and he were supposed to be together."

no black girl can pop out with a blonde boyfriend without getting percabeth allegations and i honestly love that for us and the fandom

no rizz just pretty eyes and a overwhelming amount of knowledge about fictional characters.
