i understand i am currently talking to you in another tab as well but what about trans annabeth !!!!
just Everything about her but also. i have some headcanons that i would like to share
she realizes she’s a girl when she’s really young!
i go back and forth on if it’s a contributing factor to her running away from home or not and i’m still not sure
for now let’s go with on Top of the monster attacks, her dad and stepmom don’t entirely understand, which doesn’t help
after almost murdering luke with a hammer, the first thing she tells him and thalia is that she’s a girl
when they ask her what her name is she’s kind of like ‘i didn’t think i would get this far’
thalia and luke help her pick out her name!!
chb is the first time she’s gotten Real Support from adults (mr. d is a lot more helpful and understanding than he lets on)
also chb has a very loving and supportive group of lgbt+ campers that immediately take her under their collective wing
every year the whole group goes into the city for nyc pride!
silena is the one who pierces annabeth’s ears!! clarisse holds annabeth’s hand the whole time and annabeth squeezes it so hard that it lowkey feels like she’s going to break it, but neither of them say a word
sometimes on bad days, silena helps annabeth with her dysphoria and they do face masks and braid each other’s hair and just chill
(this is a silena and annabeth friendship appreciation blog)
‘wise girl’ as a nickname isn’t very creative, but annabeth enjoys that Validation even if clarisse is trash-talking her
she’s not a big fan of the lake or swimming
(swimsuits give her dysphoria)
and then there’s percy, who sometimes jumps into the lake fully clothed and she doesn’t mind doing that
midnight lake swims (this is off topic)
annabeth is up late working, percy shows up with two cokes and is like ‘let’s go swimming!!!’ and annabeth’s just like ‘how much caffeine have you had’
annabeth logically: shorter hair would be easier for battle annabeth actually: Must Be Long To Be A Real Girl
she works hard to break this mentality, because she doesn’t want to care about if she passes or not, but she also just loves keeping her hair long
one time in battle it does get cut short and she freaks out more than she’s proud of and percy and grover help her calm down
when her and sally “i adopt every one of percy’s friends” jackson meet, sally hugs her and says “i’ve always wanted a daughter!” and annabeth almost cries
she’s very secure in her gender, but there’s always this fear of rejection, so whenever monsters call her the daughter of athena part of her is always like ‘hell yeah i am!’
medusa: daughter of athena annabeth, softly: good. grover: SHE’S ABOUT TO TURN US TO STONE
when she’s made over on circe’s island and she sees herself in the mirror it’s not how she wants to look forever, but there’s something about it that’s really overwhelming to be made over like that and have gold in her hair and wow
(and they didn’t turn her into a guinea pig which was super validating)
the siren song hits even harder than you thought it did because luke was one of the first people to accept her completely
she cries when she’s asked to join the hunters of artemis
during their first quest, percy asks her what people do during quests if they get their period and she’s just like “idk i’m trans”
lowkey, one of her favorite things percy’s ever told her is how he thought she looked like a princess the first time he saw her
athena doesn’t ever talk about it with annabeth, but early on at camp, annabeth finds a woven bracelet in the trans flag colors in her bunk and Knows its from her mom
