Another day another Annabeth hate post that just peddiling nonsense.

In Staff of Hermes? They had literally been dating for one month and had a cute little interaction about a one month anniversary that led to the conclusion of the day where Hermes literally sends them to Paris. Also Hermes pays for this entire date yet here the Annabeth hater is bringing up Annabeth expecting Percy to pay as a reason to hate Annabeth. Mind you when they were in Rome and they stopped on their cute little date Annabeth is the one who paid using her card that she magically inherited. They both used the gods to pay for their dates in two different books but somehow we are twisting that to be Annabeth's fault LMAO.

Annabeth is rich white girl coded? Are you perhaps talking about Rachel I take money from the poor to give to the poor while I personally enjoy my daddy millions Dare? Because while Annabeth's family is well off she rarely got to experience that as a child as she was literally homeless for a period of time and lived at a camp with barely any connection to her father between 7 and 12 years old. So how was she enjoying the rich white girl life? Please enlighten me? Also, I do love that y'all have turned Annabeth being white into a crime. You do know that the vast majority of these characters, including Percy, arw white in the books right? Funnily enough these are the same people who usually hate the casting in the show. So they really just use Annabeth's race against her (black or white) when it convenient to use it to hate her.

Percy is nervous to talk to Annabeth about their future? Well Percy planned their entire future without her input so of course he was nervous to share that information with her. And he was nervous because he wanted her to agree to it. And how did Annabeth react when he told her? She's not totally on board just yet with a plan she's only heard 2 minutes ago that would mean them leaving their entire life behind for New Rome but she still shows excitement and lets him know its a good plan and she loves that he thought of it. If Annabeth had planned their entire future without input from Percy ya'll would have called her controlling, toxic and abusive, but Percy does it and y'all still find a reason to make it Annabeth's fault while never acknowledging that Percy is a little problematic in this moment (I don't think he's problematic but if we're jusging Percy by the same exaggerated logic that you guys use to hate Annabeth then yeah, this would be a moment of him being controlling and toxic. See how that ridiculous logic works when applied to the actions of other characters?).

Also, using examples of Percy thinking Annabeth is going to hit him as a reason why Annabeth is bad is always so amusing because she LITERALLY never hits him when he thinks that. That's just Percys way of speaking because he usually says these things right after he says, does or is about to do something stupid. Percy is NEVER shown to be scared of Annabeth in any of these moments and it's clear he's just using that language "cheekily". It's insane that you guys focus on Percy saying he thought he was about to get hit (and he says it with no fear, just amusement) instead of what actually happens in the scene which usually never involves Annabeth hitting him and mostly involves her either laughing or something else normal.

Annabeth uses knowledge as a weapon of power? Or maybe they're two friends who tease each other? How is this any different than Percy making a crude joke about wishing Annabeth had died in TLT or mocking her intelligence in botl (he wasn't even joking with this one, he was just being mean yet it never gets used to call him toxic and cruel) or sarcastically asking her if she can breathe under water in tlo? Or any of the times he's uses his water powers against her to have himself a little laugh? They're all jokes. Percy can joke but Annabeth can't? The misogyny is reeking.

She blamed him for disappearing? Uh, no it's a moment of grief where she's literally scared and speaks irrationally. You're not meant to think Annabeth is being rational in that moment. Even Percy does not. Couple reunites and one of them irrationally says "if you ever leave me again...." It's actually a very normal romantic trope that you guys have twisted beyond comprehension to fit your hate filled narrative again. We're literally in her head for this moment and throughout the books. It's made very clear that she blames Hera for Percy going missing. Not to mention Percy also says that he had to apologize to Sally for disappearing. Does that mean Sally is abusive or do people sometimes apologize if something is hurting someone they care about even if everyone including the people they care about know it's not their fault.

So much more insane misogynistic nonsense in that post that I don't even have time to address. Really taking innocent moments between two 12-16 year olds and grossly exaggerating it beyond comprehension to fit the narrative that Annabeth is a bad person. Annabeth haters are a special kind of misogynistic. They hate Annabeth all while infantilizing Percy beyond recognition.

I know there's been a rise in media illiteracy but some of the Anti-Annabeth takse I've seen simply sound like purposeful misreadings of the text because no way did you misunderstand a children's book that badly.

Deliberate misreadings or misrepresentations of the text in order to make Annabeth seem more mean or aggressive then she actually is, as well as dismissing any of her accomplishments, and treating all of her desires as part of her hubris and therefore as a reason to humble her is an interesting phenomenon that I've really seen a dramatic spike in after Leah's casting and the rise in popularity of Black Annabeth, huh I wonder why that is?

What's so funny about so many "Annabeth is toxic" posts is that so many of the examples people pull from are just ... a thirteen year old girl trying and failing to flirt because she doesn't know how. The play fighting, the teasing ... Annabeth is trying to flirt with him! And she's bad at it because teenage girls are bad at it. Play fighting and teasing is the go-to strategy of middle school flirting. If Percy wore hats, she'd be stealing his hat and wearing it around for most of TTC and you bitches would still say "waaaaah she's toxic because she's stealing his personal property"

I understand people who don't ship percabeth, in fact, there are ships with both characters that don't involve each other that /I/ like, but a lot of peoples reasonings for not liking percabeth or even their arguments on why it's a bad ship are giving plain misogyny im sorry

they find so many really stupid reasons to why it's bad and in doing so they reduce Annabeth's character down, act purposefully obtuse to a lot of her actions and her reasonings behind her actions, and fault for her very human and understandable emotions. just because Annabeth is SHOWN to be mature and smart, and just cause she's the daughter of wisdom and might act like a typical know-it-all on the surface, does not erase the fact that she's still a human, a teenager no less.

they point out different stuff as if they would give half a flying fuck if it was a man in her place instead, and I've seen my fair share of stupid posts whacking Percy for rlly dumb reasons but a lot of these posts focus on Annabeth and so many of them are clearly reaching and forced as helll

and idk people need to realize that they do not need a reason to not like something, specficially something fictional. you don't like a ship? a character? a plot point? an ending? good for you, you don't need to defend yourself on that stance.

but if you DO decide to back up your opinion with a reasoning or argument, and it's based off of the canon material, at least make sure it's correct and valid??

things that might not slide in your worldview, absolutely will in a fictional world with fcking demigods?? you can't always go off your own personal values when pinning characters actions down and labelling them as badd (that specifically referring the the 'abuse' allegations shit with the whole judo flip girl do not pmo)

idek where I was going with this rant anyway erm

Im not even saying that percabeth is /objectively/ good, I love it sure but others might not and that's perfectly fine. im also not saying you need to like either characters, but if you're gonna comment on them, make sure it's actually comprehensible/

Hi tumblr long time no see

[rainybite]

Can we have 12 year old Percy and Annabeth on their first quest? Maybe a scene from the tlt or just your imagination?

Finally i have internet to post again!🗣️🙌🙌

I really like the scene in the tunnel of love because they're so funny. I plan on drawing more of them on their frist quest because i have so many Pages saved... But for now here it's those two being dumb!😎🎉

You think this kid got a peaceful graduation?

[ruegarding]

chasing after pan was a death sentence, so much so that grover, even while knowing the fate of the big three kids, always believed he would die first between him and percy.

[happyk44]

grover waking up in a panic when he realizes he can't sense percy on the other side of the empathy link anymore and clinging to whatever miniscule feeling he has that percy is breathing to not fully withdraw into a meltdown that his best friend might be fucking dead

Ok scrolling through the annabeth chase tag and tell me why ever post is like:

Anti annabeth chase - even tho I blocked the tag?

Annabeth is abusive???? stfu

Arguing over show annabeth

Nice fanart

Incorrect quote or two

Several cute percabeth posts, but no solo posts

Maybe one good analysis of her character if I'm lucky?

Solangelo posts that has absolutely nothing to do with her - like I like solangelo but if I wanted to see content about them I would go to their tag

A post blaming Annabeth for Luke's kinda pedo thing for her?

Other posts that have nothing to do with annabeth whatsoever

Callout posts

Where are we getting the idea that Annabeth was not promised to redesign Olympus? No seriously where did that come from because her redesigning Olympus isn't even a retcon added later on or something that was vaguely implied, it was clearly spelled out in text in The Last Olympian.

Girl was not just promised a couple statues, Athena told her to make them a city.

[pjotrio]

The blog I saw this take from is an An//ti-Percabeth one, and I get that some people don't like the ship, but that doesn't mean you have to try and diminish all of Annabeth's canon accomplishments to raise up Percy in comparison. There's critiquing characters and ships, and then there are misogynistic trends like that.

guess what i watched on new years (a redraw kind of)
