Annabeth haters: Rachel was Percy's first girlfriend. She and Percy were dating in The Last Olympian.

Percy in The Last Olympian: made a romantic move on a girl for the first time when he asks Annabeth if she wanted to make out with him before he killed the Minataur. Saw Annabeth in the Styx when told to envision what tied him to his mortal life, kept thinking about how beautiful Annabeth was and at the end of the war decided he didn't care about anything else as long as she was ok....not to mention he gave up immortality partially because he couldn't ever choose to leave her (his literal words to Athena).

So by the logic of Annabeth haters who are now making up a canon where Annabeth was not canonically Percys first and only girlfriend, Percy is a dirtbag who would have cheated on Rachel if Annabeth said yes to his request to play tonsil hockey pre battle.

Plus she like literally saved her from a crashing helicopter so is that like not sorry enough???

Unpopular Opinion: Annabeth does not need to apologize to Rachel for a handful of snarky comments and the push to demand she apologize on page is steeped in misogyny. Percy is canonically ruder than Annabeth has ever been to several people across the books. Yet I have never once seen anyone demand he apologize for his words.

Far from asking Percy to apologize, the fandom has given him a nickname to award him for being rude. Yet Annabeth needs to apologize on page?

Let's start holding characters accountable for the same shit across the board. Otherwise, shut up about it. Over the hypocrisy in this fandom.

Characters are more than their fatal flaws

I really don't like that people downplay that Annabeth canonically has low self esteem. Pride does not mean that she's always confident. It means that she puts on a good show that she is. It's made incredibly clear throughout PJO that there are many moments where Annabeth lacks self esteem and that's all but confirmed when we see how she truly thinks about herself in Mark of Athena and House of Hades, as well as the side novel with Sadie.

Percy, and everyone else, puts Annabeth on a pedestal but she canonically thinks that she's a weak link and thinks way higher of Percy and her friends than she does of herself and her abilities.

Annabeth's fatal flaw being pride does not mean she's not immune to attacks of self esteem and I really hate that people boil these characters down to their fatal flaws. By comparison, Percy's fatal flaw being loyalty does not mean he does not have moments where some of his actions can be read as disloyal.

Additionally, Annabeth is also canonically one of the most loyal characters in the entire series and no one talks about that because it's not her fatal flaw. As if characters don't have dominant traits outside of their fatal flaw. Annabeth's loyalty to Luke as her family is literally one of the main storylines of the first five books and we never discuss how loyal Annabeth is. Her loyalty to Percy is the reason she almost dies in TLO and we don't ever talk about that either.

People are obsessed with exaggerating Annabeth's flaws and downplaying her good qualities.

These characters are more nuanced than people just making the fatal flaws their full identity.

People are obsessed with exaggerating Annabeth's flaws while also downplaying her good qualities.

People exaggerate a few snide comments she made to Rachel in botl but no one ever talks about how Rachel would have died a painful death if Annabeth hadn't risked her own life to save Rachel from a crashing helicopter in TLO. Annabeth wasn't even fully sure she could fly the helicopter, yet she jumped into it and risked her own death on the chance that she could save Rachel. Mind you, she didn't even like Rachel at this point but she put her feelings aside to save her. She literally could have stood there and let Rachel die and absolutely no one would be able to blame her for it.

People always bring up the fact that she wanted to save Luke as a negative thing while never mentioning that the thing that stopped Luke in the end was his love (familiar) for Annabeth and the promise he made to protect her. Annabeth would not have leaned on that promise to snap Luke out of being Kronos's meatbag if she had completely given up on him like Thalia. Her love and faith that Luke could be save literally was the ace in the hole in stopping the war and she never gets credit for it.

People act like Percy is the only one in their relationship that goes above and beyond while never mentioning that a full year before Percy fell into Tartarus for Annabeth, she actually took a near lethal blade straight to the chest for him and almost died. Mind you, she did this after Percy spent an entire summer hanging out with someone else. But when push came to shove she valued his life above her own because she loved him that much even when it could be argued that based on the state of their relationship at that point it would be understandable if she didn't risk her own life for him. But thats just not who Annabeth is.

People always gloss over the fact that Nico wanted to dislike Annabeth because of his crush yet he could never bring himself to dislike her because Annabeth was one of the few people at camp who was always nice to him. Annabeth has always been canonically nicer to Nico than Percy ever has. Yet people who want to ship Nico with Percy (someone who canonically has zero interest in him) they try to act like Annabeth was a monster. Mind you, Percy is the one who found Nico annoying for the duration of the books and Annabeth is the one who looked for him between TTC and BOTL and who was always so nice to him that Nico couldn't even bring himself to dislike her.

And then you have her family. Despite her being emotionally abused and neglected she still continues to give her family chance after chance to be better throughout the books. And despite fandom trying to rewrite history, that decision has nothing to do with Percy. She canonically has been trying to repair her relationship with her father and stepmother even before she meets Percy in Lightening Thief. She's one of the most forgiving characters in the series and never gets credit for it.

Really sick and tired of this fandom exaggerating Annabeth's flaws (or completely making them up) and straight up ignoring her accomplishments and good qualities. It's getting ridiculous. And we know most of you only do it because you want to ship Percy with someone else so you need to villianize Annabeth to justify it which is ridiculous because you can literally ship whatever you want without being hateful and making things up about another character.

So many of your favs would be dead or worse off if Annabeth really was the monster ya'll try to act like she is to justify your hatred, misogyny and racism (a lot of Annabeth hate picked up with the show casting and it's not a coincidence) against her

[During TLT in Hades' Palace]

Annabeth, about to sacrifice herself: I've only known Percy for two weeks but if anything happens to him or his mom I'm killing everyone here and then myself

[valewritessss]

Umm my inbox is being weird about asks and stuff, it says I have 4 but I only see 1 when I click on it.

Does anyone know what’s wrong??

[valewritessss]

yes annabeth discouraged percy from using poison in hoo but did you consider that her one of her greatest fears is percy becoming a god

[valewritessss]

it’s 2025 im done arguing if you hate annabeth chase im straight up killing you

[valewritessss]

Just randomly thinking about how I haven’t posted in so long

I guess the humor was sucked right out of me or something

[valewritessss]

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"

[valewritessss]

babies

[valewritessss]

Annabeth totally gets cuteness aggression every time she looks at Percy

[valewritessss]

“Annabeth was constantly defending Luke!” where? Genuinely wth are y’all talking about because that’s not even remotely what happened. She would get very reasonably upset when she witnessed Luke possibly dying two times but she never actually defended anything he was doing.

GO LOOK AT MY PINNED POST!

[valewritessss]

It went from bad to worse 😭😭😭

Y'all what the fuck 😭😭😭😭
