Annabeth stomping out of the woods in her little pink hoodie, breathing heavily because she ran all the way to catch Percy before he left 😭. My sweet baby girl.
Percy getting more exaggerated with this movements because he’s like “IM MAD AT YOU!” Lmao, he’s soooo dramatic 💀💀. And listen, I get it, but this is just the beginning of Percy’s “Annabeth’s-pulling-away-from-me-I-gotta-do-something-CRAZY!!” act and I’m very glad the show knows exactly who he is at his core.
“And I can’t lose another friend!” Wow, well why don’t you just stab me in the heart. My poor girl, she really doesn’t know how to handle any of this, she just wants a friendddd. The way that’s what got Percy to stop and listen, ugh, these writers want me dead.
“And then I came here, and I met you,” as he’s leaning down to look into her eyes… 😵💫. I already knew chemistry was on 10, but whoaaaaa.
The way she just spills that she wasn’t happy and she didn’t want to lie to him and tell him she was, but she also didn’t want to make him feel bad, so she just ghosted him for a year 😭. Peak 13 year old behavior right there.
But it’s also like… she tells Percy she was bored and she didn’t like middle school (Annabeth doesn’t like school!!! My favorite headcanon being canon in the show because these writers get her like nobody other than me) or movies or rollercoasters but then she says “you can be a demigod and you can go home to your mom and just be a kid. I just know how to be a demigod.” Annabeth Chase feeling abnormal in her mortal home where she’s supposed to have the space to be a kid because her father and stepmother will always see her as a danger. Annabeth Chase whose mother tried to kill her for something she didn’t even do. Annabeth Chase who doesn’t belong anywhere, with anyone, and it hurts so bad all the time ☹️.
“And that means we can’t be friends?” Look how far we’ve come from “I chose her because I didn’t think we could ever be friends!” But also, Annabeth’s FACE when he said that (LEAH SAVA JEFFRIES I WILL PERSONALLY GET YOU THAT EMMY)! She’s like “who said that???” Lmao Percy’s so clingy, sir calm down. She literally just called you a friend. (I get that he feels that way because she literally ghosted him for a year though).
Percy wanting her to come to him with her fears and worries so that it’s less scary. He wants to be there for herrrr. I’ll fucking lose my mind guys, they put CRACK in these interactions. And then being like: so why don’t you tell me about this other thing? THE WAY HE FUCKING KNOWS SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING ON. Ugh. Ughhhhhh.
Very important to me that the show is not making Percy some oblivious bafoon who can’t tell a shoelace from a thread, especially concerning his own feelings (particularly about Annabeth). Big chunk of this fandom genuinely believes he just didn’t know what was happening the whole time, meanwhile, that boy is YEARNING!
TV percabeth actually better than book percabeth I SAID WHAT I SAID!
