since percy’s an artist now i think we can update this scene next season ✍️

just thinking about how percy immediately feels that this kind of godly dysfunctional family is deeply wrong because this is not how you treat the people you care about because he has sally and annabeth basically replys "that's how the world works" because literally everyone in her life treats her like affection is only earned from favors and respect and constantly constantly constantly proving herself and being the best and the perfect daughter and the perfect camper and the perfect demigod and then she'll get a crumb of praise and that's how the world works so it's not the gods' fault because its everyone human demigod and god treat her like that everyone in her life except for luke who is literally going to betray her THATS HOW THE WORLD WORKS and now PERSEUS MFING JACKSON shows up with loyalty as his fatal flaw and is about to show this girl what it means to love someone UNCONDITIONALLY and to literal HELL AND BACK for all of their flaws and without them doing something for you because you both care for each other and have each others backs without question without prerequistes day to day to day because that's what it means to have real family and -

leahbeth is the cutest and i wanted so bad to draw her thank you pjotv

Annabeth Chase, the most formidable demigod child alive~ 🌟🦉

The hairstylist ate this season

annabeth and percy being smitten with each other in the twelve year old way: bickering, name-calling, awkward hugging and not confronting their feelings for five years

i love these three cuties with my whole heart, i just had to draw them. it’s so cool seeing one of my favorite childhood series come to life (and be done justice this time). i’ll post a finished version of this soon 💙

family.

Percy and Annabeth + (x) + the look of love

The thing that I haven't seen anyone talk about re: Leah as Annabeth that we really need to is that yeah she's not blonde, so she's not giving any anti-"dumb blonde" representation. But "dumb blonde" is not the same stereotype it was in the early/mid-2000s. I grew up blonde, and I was smart, and I was treated that way, minus a handful of "blonde" jokes on like the school playground. There was no societal expectation that I would be treated dumb because of my hair color, not from my teachers or other adults I encountered. We no longer need the blonde Annabeth Chase to help show kids that they can be smart even if they have light hair. Book Annabeth did it, Elle Woods changed the world already, etc etc.

BUT there is just as much stereotype around "Black women are dumb" as there was around "dumb blondes" in the early/mid-2000s (if not more). It's a lot more racially motivated, and it has a lot more knock-on effects than being blonde has for decades. In addition to historic inequality that has led to Black people (esp girls) being denied access to education and able to like afford to pursue things on their own, people treat Black women as dumb. They just do. Just as stereotypical as the "angry Black woman" is that they are not smart, from stigmatism against AAVE to just general racism, internalized or otherwise. Portraying a Black girl as smart is not unheard of, but it's something society needs to see more of. It's something We need to internalize and accept and take into our everyday lives. Annabeth being smart and Black is representation we need, for all the BIPOC little girls and the rest of the world.

Annabeth no longer needs to be blonde. She is just as strong of a character as a Black girl, and still breaking stereotypes and working to improve the social view of girls. Perhaps even more.

Representation has power. Media has power. I think it's really powerful that Rick (et al) can see that power they're wielding, and use it to continue to make a difference that is positive and keeping with the spirit and message of the series as a whole.

Percy Jackson fans be getting more offended at queer womanhood and black people and autism than at pedophilia and domestic abusive and corrupted societal systems.There's your Greek Mythology accuracy i guess

Reading y’all’s takes on Annabeth in the show is actually painful and I understand why they cut out all her “stupid” moments in the book.

2024 in: annabeth chase stan era

2024 out: OVERLOOKING AND ERASING ANNABETH'S CHILDISHNESS, POOR SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES, LACK OF SELF WORTH, MASK OVER HER EMOTIONS, ETC.

SHE IS NOT AN ADULT SHE IS NOT A COLD ROBOT SHE DOES NOT HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE IN HERSELF ALL THE TIME THAT IS LITERALLY JUST WHAT SHES PROJECTING TO EVERYONE AS A DEFENSE MECHANISM IN REALITY IF YOU READ MARK OF ATHENA IF YOU READ BETWEEN THE LINES IF YOU WATCH LEAHS ACTING SHES JUST A TINY SCARED CHILD THAT DOESNT KNOW IF SHES DOING HER BEST AND IS TERRIFIED OF FAILURE OR LETTING PEOPLE IN AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE AS SHE AGES AND LOSES MORE PEOPLE SHE TRUSTED AND LOVED

POV: you are looking at the architect of Olympus

Thank God we got a renewal because everyone and their mama was trying to get it cancelled 😭, even so called “fans”

I was watching pjo ep 5 with my sister and she was like “Walker’s really do much a better actor than everyone else,” and then not two minutes later Leah gave the best gods-dammed monologue this show has seen. When I tell you I would have looked into the void like I was on the office had my eyes not been glued to the screen—
