In this fandom,I see a lot of hate for Rachel.
Especially in the fanfictions. Rachel is often potrayed as some rich,snobby,jealous person from hell,always trying to ruin Percabeth.
Yes ,Percabeth is the best relationship that anyone could have. Annabeth is the best person as a girlfriend for Percy. Annabeth is also completely justified in her former jealousy for Rachel. She saw the latter as a threat and a rival and felt betrayed and hurt because she's the one Percy's known longer. She's the one who's saved Percy's butt a number of times .She's his best friend.Percy,clearly showed interest in Rachel and that made her jealous .
However,she stops being jealous the moment Percy and she start dating.She doesn't feel jealous of Reyna or Nico when they show feelings towards her boyfriend.
So,back to the topic of Rachel.
The fandom,the same fandom who were so vehement in their hate towards Rachel in the Battle of the Labyrinth,suddenly,after the last olympian and the heroes of olympus,find no problem in making fanfictions where Annabeth betrays Percy with some new camper,just so that they can ship Percy with Reyna, Nico or Calypso.And these are only the canon crushes .
Almost all the olympians,(most of whom hate Percy) are ironically shipped with Percy,Including Artemis and Hestia , both Virgin goddesses, Hades and Athena ,who hate Percy to the core and even sometimes Poseidon.
And the list doesn't end here. Percy is shipped with Zoe,Thalia ,Jason,Piper,Leo etc.
And why don't they ship Percy with a character who has more chemistry with him than the other fanon ships or even the canon ships.
People accuse Rachel of trying to making moves on Percy even when she knew Percy and Annabeth were liking each other.
Percy at that time wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed and he really liked Rachel too.So what's wrong withRachel trying to make a move on Percy?
She also liked him.She wanted him as a romantic partner. So she tried her chance anjd everone's like Omg!!! How dare she !!!
It's not wrong of Rachel to have a crush on some boy who had an interesting undercover life,who was good looking, was nice to her and most importantly, who was not in a relationship.
So ,to sum up ,the fandom is not justified in it's hate of Rachel Elizabeth Dare until it stops shipping the non-canon and ridiculous ships at least.
Stop Hating Rachel,please.
