saw this fanart by @forrpercyy and i screamed when i realised that it's annabeth and percy looking at a statue of andromeda and perseus, because of a thought i had the other day. leah got so much hate for not being "book accurate" or whatever. correct me if i'm wrong, but her looks are actually mythologically accurate. if you're not familiar, andromeda was the daughter of cepheus and cassiopeia, princess of ethiopia, hence a black woman. she was sacrificed by her parents to the sea monster cetus after her mother, claiming to be more beautiful than the nereids, caused the anger of poseidon. soaring the sky back from the quest of decapitating medusa, perseus spotted the princess chained to a rock and slaughtered the monster, saving her. i'm not saying annabeth's character was entirely inspired by andromeda, but seeing someone had a similar thought process to mine was really satisfying.
