can’t believe there are still people in the year of our lord 2023 who claim to be percy jackson fans and yet still, STILL! can’t fathom or deal with the fact that the actress who plays annabeth in the new tv show is black. these are people who claim to be progressive. people who say that percy jackson changed their lives as children. GROWN ADULTS who can’t deal with a character who was white being played by a black actor. and bending over backwards to claim they aren’t being racist when.. that’s like the definition of being racist…
i’m like floored. how many of these people exist. saying she should’ve had blonde braids or grey contacts because that’s “important to annabeths character”. “how can we tell she’s a child of athena!?” um. maybe her strategical and martial abilities? her WISDOM? fuck dude.
i’m all for book accuracy. i love book accuracy! but adaptations aren’t supposed to be 1:1. adaptations, in their best form, add to the original story that was told. part of annabeth’s character is that she’s someone who hasn’t been taken seriously. who feels like she has to do ten times better in order to get the same respect as others. in the books it’s due to being a white blonde woman. in the show, that aspect of her character is enhanced by her being a black woman.
also, even disregarding any of that, this actress is a child. she’s like 14. it is so weird and gross to see all these adults whining about how she should’ve changed her appearance so that they could relive childhood nostalgia for a series that they clearly never understood the message of.

just desi things — life story (it's fun and it's true, i promise)
so i just came to know that my dad has these secret spies hidden everywhere. on my way to school. on my way back home from school. earlier when i used to go to tuition. when i used to come back from tuition. now that i don't go to tuition anymore, he revealed that he'd asked this chaiwala (tea stall person) to keep an eye on me. this chips shop wale uncle, to see whether i was bunking classes to talk to my friends. this another man who was a idk some job person in the nearby hospital to keep an eye on me. so that he could make sure i was safe on the road even when he isn't around. and also to check whether i am getting under bad influence or not lol. thankfully nothing was out of place, or has ever been, till now and i hope to keep it that way :)
now he said that on my way to and from school too, there are people everywhere keeping an eye on me and will report to him as soon as anything is out of place. i won't even be able to guess who might potentially know me and my father and report to him. it's not like he doesn't trust me, he does but this is for my safety lol. so that i am safe on the roads and everywhere. also so that i don't go do drugs while bunking school but we'll ignore that because he never said that. and this spy thing has been going on since i was in class 4... around 9 years old... just for my safety :)
now i feel that my dad is this kinda Italian or Russian mafia person and i'm a mafia princess and there are spies everywhere hidden under the disguise of normal men to ensure my safety.
it's so much fun honestly. makes the plot of my life even more interesting .
read the tags below... story time :)

Cringe is dead, long live cringe! I realised that I’m turning 26 soon. When I was 15, and super active on good old deviantArt, I was very into drawing these little art prompt memes. One of them was about drawing yourself in various versions, including a ‘10 years from now’ self. So naturally, at age 25, I had to go and re- do that meme.
The old version from 2013 (oh my god)
Followed by. Updates. Hell yeah
See you at 35!
