Rant #2: Annabeth Chase
Ok before I even get started on the mess that is Annabeth Chase, let me start by saying: I FUCKING HATE HER.
For some reason, everyone in this fandom loves her but I do not understand, at all. When she first meets Percy, who has to have been the most adorable lil goofball ever, she treats him like dirt. She gives him the nickname “Seaweed-brain”, which probably does not help his self-esteem(see: previous rant). Throughout the entirety of The Lightning Thief, she acts like Percy’s an idiot because he gets thrust into this fucking world, and to top it off, his fucking intro is what he presumes to be his mothers fucking death. It makes me so fucking angry that she treats him like a moron just because she’s been living in this world her whole life.
Then in the Sea of Monsters, she treats Tyson like shit because, fuck what else is she gonna do? Like him? I understand her reasoning behind it, but even after Percy tells her multiple times that he had been with the boy almost a full year, and that Tyson saved his life from the Laistrygonians, she still hates him because he’s a cyclops. That’s it. Cute, innocent little Tyson, but hey. He’s a cyclops, right? So how on Earth could he ever be good after my singular experience with cyclopses. Like really? She constantly degrades everyone because “my mom’s Athene so I’m super smart.” when in reality she’s probably one of the dumbest people in the books, person wise. Sure, she can read books and memorize them, but when it comes to people? She’s just a shitty human.
Sorry I’m tired and I almost got into an accident like an hour ago so my rage is still built up.
TLDR;
Annabeth Chase sucks as a human being, and I don’t understand why y’all have such a high opinion of her.
