anyway, the loml and I went to a party to celebrate my college graduation, left early to have s*x, ate cocktail shrimp and macarons in bed together after 3 rounds, and went to sleep by 10:30. So I guess life is okay or whatever.
its funny how nobody said anything when the casting calls came out with it specifically being mentioned that the roles were open to people of all races/sexual orientation etc etc but as soon as poc gets actually get cast as main characters people lose their shit..... it really makes u wonder about how many people see messages like "open to everyone" and just assume that its performative because their lizard brains are convinced that only a white people should get the important roles
I love being blocked by racists. Gives me that spice of life.
I remember being so young and so deeply and vocally wrong about so much⦠and let me say, I hope yāall have lots of growing left to do.
i literally cannot fucking believe people they have the fucking audacity to bully a literal fucking kid who got the role ON HER OWN ACTING MERITS just because they're too obsessed with their idea of a perfect white blonde main character its absolutely disgusting
unpopular opinion but iām disappointed by who they cast for annabethā¦a part of her character is defying the dumb blonde stereotype.
I donāt even have constructive criticism for you. Grow up and shut up.
@ghostqueen99 Grow up and shut up? For stating my own personal opinion on my own personal blog? This is my blog for me to share my thoughts. If you disagree, just ignore my post or block me.
Constructive criticism on what? People are allowed to be disappointed with casting choices. Just because youāre fine with it doesnāt mean I have to like itā¦Iām sure sheāll do great as Annabeth and Iām still very excited to watch the show. Itās just not how I pictured Annabeth, given the plethora of times her stormy grey eyes and blonde hair are mentioned across both series.
Please realize that not everyoneās opinions have to match with yours; you can enjoy a piece of media and still not be entirely happy with every decision the crew makes. If you disagree with my opinion, simply move on. Iām not attacking anyone whoās happy with the casting choice, and Iām not attacking any of the cast for not matching with my idea of the trio. It is just my personal opinion; itās not the end of the world for you, or for me. There are bigger things in life to worry about.
Am I disappointed? Yes. Am I gonna throw a fit about it? No. Like you, I just hope that the show is ultimately good.
That wasnāt an invitation to argue babe š disliking a characterās casting because of her race is racist. A white actress would also not have had grey eyes. A Black actress *could* have āstormy grey eyes and blonde hairā, so really, your problem is that she is Black. And if you think grey eyes and blonde hair are the important parts of Annabethās character, you need to reread the books. If you want to be racist, say it with your chest.
And imagine thinking that you posting your racist opinion anywhere on the internet prevents you from being called out⦠completely out of touch. I didnāt go looking for you specifically- the content came across my dashboard, and I have an obligation to call out blatant racism :)
Yāall really put so much vitriol and venom into this fandom. Itās exhausting.
How do people not understand that the books and the show are separate things. Like the books arenāt going away! If youāre a racist asshole, shut up about the show, donāt watch, and reread the books and live out your perfect fantasy. Leave Leah alone. If you are a decent person, be excited that we are getting a new, fresh, separate retelling of a series that is quite frankly outdated at this point.
People who are upset about fan art consistency can shut up. People who claim she was a ādiversity hireā, shut up. People who are bullying a child, PLEASE shut up. No more āwell Iām all for diversity but-ā you are racist. Shut the fuck up.
Annabethās character and spirit can be embodied by any young girl or woman who has courage, strength, humanity, fear, love, ambition, grief, pride, and obstacles to overcome- she does not belong to you and your singular experience and interpretation. Stop whining and grow the hell up. Itās a tv show about fictional books. Canāt believe I have to say this in the year of our gods 2022.
Funny how yāall are so focused on ācasting the best actor regardless of raceā but when the actual best actor cast is POC then suddenly that rhetoric doesnāt matter anymore.
unpopular opinion but iām disappointed by who they cast for annabethā¦a part of her character is defying the dumb blonde stereotype.
I donāt even have constructive criticism for you. Grow up and shut up.
not percy in the show being a strawberry blond/light brunette. they better dye his hair š¬

grover being played by a desi actor makes my little indian heart extremely happy
i really like the people they cast for the golden trio, and i think theyāll be great in the show, but my one question is, why the heck are they so small? Walkerās only 4 foot 9, and Leahās even shorter, at like 4 foot 7. I donāt know how tall Aryan is, butĀ I swear, when i was eleven, two years younger than them, i was like 5 foot 2 and wouldāve been towering over them. i mean, i was kinda tall for my age, but still.Ā i just donāt understand. theyāre so tiny. miniscule, even. but somehow theyāre still around my age????? it just doesnāt add up.
Babe what the fuck are you even talking about. People are different heights. They are real human beings, the correct age for the casting, with real human heights. Height has no impact on acting skill. What the fuck.
I quit tumblr cus I was tired of beefing with children about literal FICTION but Iām back, Iām angry, and I sincerely do not care about who I piss off ā¤ļø if youāre being racist, sexist, misogynistic, etc etc etc about children or childrens books/media, you are fucking pathetic
I'm sorry but what happened to book accuracy??? Uncle Rick explain.
Like yes I totally support diversity but when you already have characters, why change them? New story? Go wild. Old story? Leave it alone.
Please shut the fuck up. Imagine whining about someoneās skin color. Annabeth can be the same character in any race, because zero percent about what makes her interesting has to do with her whiteness.
GOD racists that are too pussy to be racist piss me off. āi want a book accurate annabethā you mean you want a WHITE annabeth.
just say you donāt like black people with your chest, own your bigotry.
