“i want (super popular celebrity) to be in the pjo show!” but like. what if the most weird celebs were in it. imagine there’s a crowd scene and you see fuckin gerard way or somethin
guys we’re going to watch this show like we’re actually going to watch it it’s going to come out we’re going to laugh at the stupid jokes and we’re going to cry at the deaths and even though we know everything that happens we will still follow the story like we’ve never seen it before and we will still be so happy to see these kids grow up GUYS YOU GUYS
this annabeth chase casting is so important because it’s gonna show black girls that they’re not just sexual objects for white men. it’ll show them that they can be loved, that they’re beautiful, just like princesses. this show is gonna have a white boy loving a black girl for her intellect and spunk, not just her body. i am so happy.
People need to stop freaking out. They are changing the character a little bit, they didn’t murder Book! Annabeth and replace her.
It doesn’t work like that.
How it works is something like the Spiderverse.
There isn’t just ONE Spiderman, hell, there’s not even one Peter Parker! There are hundreds spread across the multiverse, too many to even count. Some are similar (Peter A and Peter B), others totally different (Spiderpig, Noir, Gwen Stacy), but all of them are Spiderman at the heart. And it’s the same with Annabeth.
There’s not just one, there are many. Countless versions of the character we know and love.
Book! Annabeth, Movie! Annabeth, Musical! Annabeth, Disney+! Annabeth. There’s probably more wild ones we don’t even know, Goddess! Annabeth and Turned-to-the-dark-side Annabeth, even Dude! Annabeth (Andrew? Andersen?). Some have minor differences (Movie Annabeth being a brunette, Disney+ Annabeth being black) and others major differences (Dark Annabeth having joined Kronos and Musical Annabeth breaking into spontaneous song, not understanding why her counterparts don’t just KNOW the lyrics).
But at heart, they carry the traits that truly make Annabeth Chase who she is:
Intelligence, curiosity, pride, a sarcastic wit, strength, loyalty to those she loves most, and an awesome judo flip.
That is what it means to be Annabeth Freaking Chase.
If all the versions of her looked and acted and lived exactly alike then it would be a pretty dull multiverse. It’s the little differences that makes them fun, allowing every Annabeth to be her own person and bring something new to the table.
It’s okay if you end up having a favorite Annabeth (mine will always be the OG, Book Annabeth) but it’s not okay to shame the actress or harass Rick about it. I have seen some seriously shameful behavior since the casting was announced and it’s honestly disappointing.
She is still Annabeth Chase, even if she looks different!
Disney+ Annabeth doesn’t take anything away from or ruin Book Annabeth just because she looks differently then her. They are two different versions of the same character, Annabeth A and Annabeth B, and that’s totally cool.
since the pjo show will begin production in one week, i was wondering- what is a song you absolutely need to hear in the show? i’ll go first: uma therman by fob
Hear me out
