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 is just a normal guy in a strange world':Incorrect

'Percy Jackson is a role model for young boys and a female fantasy':Closer but not quite correct

'Percy Jackson is not a gendered character in a meta sense because Percy being a boy has nothing to do with their personality and stories EXCEPT proving themselves as different from other 'male' characters and this is a big reason why they're so easy to read as transfem among the countless ones and so appealing to black women,autistic women and obviously irl trans women and widely beloved by lesbians and aroaces and by making Percy normal,you are fundamentally ruining their character because they were meant to be completely nonconformist just naturally and their rebellious attitude is a result of growing up as a minority in-text by being neurodivergent and poor and fighting against for themself and others like them and this is another fascet of their appeal and why the first take is the most popular one because it comes from hatred of and discomfort towards irl Percys(read:autistic people and feminine trans people)fueled by bigotry so that's the discourse around book!Percy being afrolatino interpretation,the mass harrasment towards Perachel shippers and Rachel fans and both towards Leah for playing Annabeth by white/allistic Pjo fans and the ass kissing towards Luke as the palpable victim of society unlike Percy:CORRECT!!!!!

while we're on the topic of talking about changes the pjo show made that i love, im glad they didn't push the whole Annabeth saying she and Percy *have* to be enemies because athena and Poseidon have beef. Instead she's just this cryptid autistic strategist 12 yr old who stalks Percy and pushes him into the water. She's like "hmm this white boy will perfectly serve my purpose and schemes" and she's so real for that

Obsessed with how Annabeth isn't spacial, she isn't a chosen one, she has no demigod magic powers, she is for all intents and purposes, a fairly normal girl.

But she poured her blood, sweat and tears into becoming the best warrior she could be. She trained hard for years because she knew she had disadvantages and she didn't want to be seen as weak.

She's literally known in Camp and by monsters like Alecto as the most powerful demigod alive and she doesn't have powers. It's almost as of girls don't need to be magical to be a hero!

i wanna see fan art of older percy and annabeth with scars and grey steaks in their hair. they’re in college or full adults and living their best lives but during the summer they’re putting extra sunscreen on their old battle wounds and when percy grows out his hair or annabeth gets new braids they have a matching silver streak. i want to see them as happy adults buy still visibly carrying the weight of everything they went through as children. they deserve not to have those lost with age, its proof that they lived, that they made it.

Again they dangled Annabeth’s fatal flaw in front of her through Hephaestus saying that if she were to leave right then with the shield, she would win back her mother’s favor and be a hero, two things Annabeth has wanted more than anything in the world her whole life. And again she chooses to stick by her friend and protect him because if they don’t break the cycle, who will? If they continually sacrifice each other to get ahead, just as the gods have done with each other and demigods for centuries, what will be left but the destruction of the world?

But Percy isn’t that way. Annabeth has the chance to have everything she’s ever wanted but not the way she wants. She doesn’t want to be that way anymore. She’s breaking the cycle.

last episode 3 rant for now i almost promise but like.

looking back it's an obvious improvement that Annabeth sees Percy exploding the toilets and immediately clocks him as a son of Poseidon, and also that she takes one look at stone statues and "aunty em" and takes no time to put two and two together. Like this girl has been studying for this her whole life, she's probably gone around camp devouring stories from new arrivals to piece together how these myths and monsters manifest in the modern world.

Kid shows up with a minotaur horn, a stormy temper, and a bone to pick with the gods? That's her ticket out of here.

Wandering along a satyr path to an almost guaranteed monster lair littered with statues? That's Medusa.

Also love the juxtaposition of "wise beyond her years battle strategist" Annabeth and "child in a convenience store with no budget" Annabeth. She's intelligent and quick-witted but still a kid i the ways it matters.

ok I don’t care about Percy having blonde hair, or Annabeth having dark hair, or any skin color at all. BUT IF THE SHOW DOESNT PUT GREY STREAKS IN THEIR HAIRS AFTER HOLDING UP THE SKY, I WILL RIOT. granted, I’ll still watch the show fully and giggle while kicking my feet, BUT I WILL RIOT!!!

you hear me, Disney+? When, NOT IF, when you get to Titan’s Curse, you need to do this or else.

Reblog this to remind Luke stans that Luke's canon romantic interests were:

Annabeth(Raised her since she was 7 and confessed to her at 16 and him 23 with no indication that line in MOA was correct and not just her protecting her traumatized mind)

Thalia(Had feelings for her when he was 20/21 and her 15 and pre-tree he was 14 and her 12 so uuuuhhh you can't exactly blame it on the gods)

Silena(Took advantage of her crush on him by flirting with her to get her to join him and she said it started when she got to Camp Half-Blood as a tween so he would've been 17 at the YOUNGEST)

Kelli(No stated canon age but she passed as Percy's high school freshman classmate no problem)

And those are his ONLY canon romantic connections,he NEVER showed attraction to anyone else and i'm NOT joking.Leave Percy alone,SHE isn't 'an oblivious bisexual',SHE is a trans woman who wants nothing to do with her groomer who would've forced himself on her if she was out and do NOT tell me i'm taking things too far because Luke is literally a pedophile,YOU are taking things too far by making Percy crush on him when she's already been abused by older men her whole life(Her male teachers,Gabe and the gods).'Rick ruined Luke in TLO' my ass,he wanted little girls the whole series!LEARN TO READ

Annabeth rambling about architecture and math and everything about St Louis Arch.

So much Annabeth coded. I love her your honour!

That’s it. That’s the post.
