Marauders era fans not realizing that they actively contribute to this really pisses me off. Just because you are so entrenched in fanon that it's barely even HP anymore, doesn't mean that you aren't tacitly supporting this.

So many people actually think I'm weird for this, but if an author claimed that a character was white, yet always described them as having dark skin and typically black features, you all would have a problem with that, right?
But when Rick Riordan does stuff like this... there's no reaction.
Riordan claims that Percy is dyslexic*, but actively describes him in ways that do not meet the diagnostic criteria*.
Riordan claims that Thalia is punk*, but actively describes her in ways that do not adhere to this label*.
It's bad writing when you tell your audience one thing and consistently show them another thing. Can we please just admit he's a bad author already?
*I doubt Riordan did any research on Dyslexia, other than using his son as a case study
*Dyslexia results in language struggles across all languages; you cannot be dyslexic in English and not be dyslexic in Greek. Furthermore, diagnoses are based around a contextualized standard, meaning that since dyslexia is a mortal diagnosis and Percy is a demigod AND that since demigods have this pseudo-dyslexia as a normal occurence, Percy does not meet the psychiatric standards of being dyslexic.
*Again, I doubt Riordan did any research into the Punk scene, outside of stereotyping his own case-study students
*Being Punk is based in the following: ideology, music, and fashion. Thalia demonstrates fashion and music, but fails to subscribe to Punk ideology. (Punk Ideology, not an exhaustive list: anti-authoritarian, anti-consumerism, anti-imperialism, feminism/gender equality. It hinges on individualism and community action). You can't be punk and be part of a group that is TERFist, homophobic, and authoritarian.
he would not fucking say that, but with disability.. he would not fucking be able bodied. sick n tired of characters walking away from multiple life changing injuries without a scratch. letâs get some natural consequences in here.
give that knife/sword fight survivor nerve damage. give the character who was shot in the gut a stoma. give that fire survivor lung damage and an oxygen cannula. give that leg injury survivor a cane. give that starvation survivor gastroparesis. give that spinal injury survivor a manual chair or powerchair.
while weâre at it, give your characters congenital disabilities too, just because. give them intellectual and development disabilities. give them acquired and postviral illnesses. dare to make somebody bedbound. for me.
Iâm currently rereading Mark of Athena and specifically chapters 17-20. The second batch of Annabeth POV chapters.
Because me and my account here are so focused on Percy, I sometimes forget how much Annabethâs writing also suffered in these books, which is especially sad since moa is supposed to be her book and since itâs the first time weâve ever gotten chapters from her POV. Â
Like, this was supposed to be Annabethâs Son of Neptune.
Instead, it became herâŚwell, her Mark of Athena.
Because, wow, these four chapters can be really rough at times and remind me how Annabeth, who is my third favourite character if we go strictly by the PJO books, doesnât even make my Top  5 overall Riordan verse characters and is only in my top ten because of how much I love her PJO portrayal. Simply Hoo Annabeth would probably not make it.
There are just so many things in these four chapters alone that (more or less) bother me about her general portrayal in hoo or are more minor examples of ongoing annoying trends in her writing.
Iâm probably going to split this into multiple posts because this might take a while.
Annabeth's & Percy's relationship portrayal:
My first issue would be the way Percyâs and Annabethâs relationship is handled. Something which sadly negatively reflects on their individual characters, and, in this specific case, more on Annabeth than Percy.
There is this trend in Heroes of Olympus and onwards, where various different characters imply that Annabeth needs to keep Percy in check, or that Percy is not as smart as Annabeth:
But she could see why Annabeth liked him, and she could definitely see why Percy needed Annabeth in his life. If anybody could keep a guy like that under control, it was Annabeth. (Mark of Athena, Chapter 10, Piper)
âRight,â Piper said. âBacchus told us we should seek outâŚwhat was his name?â âPhorcys,â Percy said. Annabeth looked surprised, like she wasnât used to her boyfriend having the answers. (Mark of Athena, Chapter 11, Piper)
âOh, obviously,â Reyna said. âWithout you, I doubt Percy could find his way out of a paper bag.â âTrue,â Annabeth agreed. (House of Hades, Chapter 76, Percy)
âSo this is why Annabeth is the brains of the operation, then?â âShut up, Grace.â (Blood of Olympus, Chapter 25)
And while sentences like this are annoying enough on their own, they get worse when theyâre from Annabethâs POV. As is sadly the case in this chapter:
Annabeth shivered. She loved the architecture here. The houses and the gardens were very beautiful, very Roman. But she wondered why beautiful things had to be wrapped up with evil history. Or was it the other way around? Maybe the evil history made it necessary to build beautiful things, to mask the darker aspects. She shook her head. Percy would hate her getting so philosophical. If she tried to talk to him about stuff like that, his eyes glazed over. (Mark of Athena, Chapter 18, Annabeth)
Like, Iâm sorry, but that is just such a gross mischaracterization of Percy and Annabeth and their relationship.
One of the main reasons why their relationship is so enjoyable and why I personally love their friendship in PJO is because they treat each other as equals. They fight sometimes, and can unintentionally hurt each other, but the trust and respect they have for each other is omnipresent and one of the cores of their relationship, whether platonic or romantic.
Yet, in Heroes of Olympus, Annabeth thinks Percy wouldnât engage in philosophical conversations with her? That his eyes would glaze over over a topic as simple as âAre beautiful things wrapped up with evil history or are beautiful things used to mask evil historyâ?
That her boyfriend, a guy who listens to her ramble on about architecture, a topic he personally has no interest in, so much that he has a habit of remembering random facts about it, wouldnât engage her in a question sheâs interested in?:
âHe modeled that after his mom,â I said, looking up at the statue. Clarisse frowned at me. âWho?â âBartholdi,â I said. âThe dude who made the Statue of liberty. He was a son of Athena, and he designed it to look like his mom. Annabeth told me, anyway.â Clarisse rolled her eyes. Annabeth was my best friend and a huge nut when it came to architecture and monuments. I guess her egghead facts rubbed off on me sometimes. (The Demigod Files: The Stolen Chariot)
"Seven hundred feet tall," I said. "Built in the 1930s." (âŚ) Zoe stared at us. "How do you know all that?" "Annabeth," I said. "She liked architecture." (âŚ) It seemed like cruel fate that we'd come to Hoover Dam, one of Annabeth's personal favorites, and she wasn't here to see it. (Titanâs Curse, Chapter 14)
The same guy who sometimes has thoughts like this?:
But Percy didnât feel powerful. The more heroic stuff he did, the more he realized how limited he was. He felt like a fraud. Iâm not as great as you think, he wanted to warn his friends. His failures, like tonight, seemed to prove it. Maybe thatâs why he had started to fear suffocation. It wasnât so much drowning in the earth or the sea, but the feeling that he was sinking into too many expectations, literally getting in over his head. (Mark of Athena, Chapter 31, Percy)
And the same guy who said this? :
"Hestia," I said, "I give this to you as an offering." The goddess tilted her head. "I am the least of the gods. Why would you trust me with this?" "You're the last Olympian," I said. "And the most important." "And why is that, Percy Jackson?" "Because Hope survives best at the hearth," I said. "Guard it for me, and I won't be tempted to give up again." The goddess smiled. (The Last Olympian, Chapter 17)
It makes Annabeth seem entirely ignorant to the type of person Percy is and makes it seem as if she has a really low opinion of him, which is such mischaracterization bs. Thatâs her best friend, the guy whom she has known since she was twelve and the guy with whom she has faced countless dangers. If thereâs one person who should never underestimate or understate Percyâs intelligence it should be her (together with Grover, Sally, Rachel, etc. but this is not about them right now)
But regarding relationships this is not my only problem in these chapters.
Annabeth's other relationships:
Now, I really hope Iâm phrasing this right and that I manage to get my point across clearly.
A pretty huge problem for Annabethâs characterization throughout Heroes of Olmpus for me is that while her relationships with every single member of the seven except for Percy are incredibly shallow, the narrative still tries to pretend as if she is close to them without putting in the effort to make these relationships work. Â Â
Thereâs a lot of tell and donât show in these books regarding that.
For example, we donât really see Annabeth interact with Leo and Jason at all, but the narrative tells us that they highly respect her and accept her as their leader. Â
We donât really see a lot of interactions between Piper and Annabeth, yet we are told they are best friends and incredibly close.
We barely see interactions between her and Frank and Hazel, yet the narrative tells us they 100% trust her and accept her as somewhat of a leader despite knowing her for only a day and despite the fact that up until a certain point, Annabeth hasnât really done anything which would warrant this level of trust.
Now, please donât get me wrong.
I obviously want Annabeth to have good and deep relationships with other characters, but I want them to feel earned. I want them to be real. I want them to mean something. I want to see them start and grow and develop.
I donât want to just be told that they exist. I want to understand why and how they exist.
Annabeth especially is a character that thrives on her connections to other people. Her relationships to Percy and Luke respectively are two of the most important in the original five books. Also, some of her most emotionally powerful moments are triggered by her relationships and love to the people around her (her attacking Kronos in Lukeâs body after Silenaâs death and after he injured Chiron, her reaction to the Sirens, her reaction to Kronos using Lukeâs body, etc.) Â
Compared to that, none of her new relationships (if you can even call them relationships) feel more than surface level.
Sometimes, I feel like as if Riordan simply wanted everyone to like, respect and get along with Annabeth, without putting in the effort to show why they would like, respect and get along with her. Which makes her new relationships seem incredibly cheap, unearned and surface level.
Two examples of that are in this chapter in the form of Frank and Nico.
Frank:
After Frank got stuck in the Chinese handcuffs in front of everyone, he goes to Annabeth to ask her to explain them to her:
âI donât like being in the dark about this,â he muttered. âCould you show me the trick? I didnât feel comfortable asking anyone else.â Annabeth processed his words with a slight delay. WaitâŚFrank was asking her for help? Then it dawned on her: of course, Frank was embarrassed. Leo had been razzing him pretty hard. Nobody liked being a laughingstock. Frankâs determined expression said he never wanted that to happen again. He wanted to understand the puzzle, without the iguana solution. Annabeth felt strangely honored. Frank trusted her not to make fun of him. (Mark of Athena, Chapter 17, Annabeth)
Itâs admittedly a very small moment, however it exemplifies what I mean on a smaller scale. The narrative tries to tell us that Frank, a character who often heavily battles with insecurity, trusts Annabeth the most out of everyone else on the Argo II not to laugh at him, while giving us close to no reason why he would trust her more than the others. Â
Not only has he known her for only a single day, but, alongside everyone else, she already did laugh at him a couple minutes/ hours prior, exactly because of the handcuffs:
On the deck where heâd been standing, a green iguana crouched next to an empty set of Chinese handcuffs. âWell done, Frank Zhang,â Leo said dryly, doing his impression of Chiron the centaur. âThat is exactly how people beat Chinese handcuffs. They turn into iguanas.â Everybody busted out laughing. (Mark of Athena, Chapter 17, Annabeth)
Also, before arriving back at the Argo II, Percy, a person Frank has grown to respect and trust over the course of son of Neptune, someone he sees as family, and someone who on multiple occasions comforted him, literally offered to teach him:
âChinese handcuffs,â Percy said. Frank, who was Chinese Canadian, looked offended. âHow is this Chinese?â âI donât know,â Percy said. âThatâs just what itâs called. Itâs like a gag gift.â âCome along, boys!â Kate called from across the hall. âIâll show you later,â Percy promised. (Mark of Athena, Chapter 15, Percy)
Frank could have easily asked Percy the next day if he could show him. So, it makes very little sense for him to specifically ask Annabeth.
And this could have been easily solved by making Annabeth the one to go to Frank and offer her help. That would have painted Annbeth as the compassionate and thoughtful character she actually is and also given Frank a reason to trust and like her on a personal scale.
But relationship wise, the Hoo narrative oftentimes simply gives Annabeth relationships without making her or the story work for them. Which is such a disservice for her as a character and makes moments like this, which could have been really sweet, seem cheap and relationships, which had the potential to be emotionally powerful and cute, unearned.
Just imagine for a second how much worse and more boring some of Percyâs relationships in PJO and Hoo would be if the characters would have trusted him with their worries and insecurities from the get-go, without him having to prove himself as a trustworthy person first. (Like in the case of Annabeth, Zoe, Thalia, Nico, Clarisse, Reyna etc. or even more minor characters like Bianca, Carter, the ophiotaurus, the naiad at the ranch, etc.)
It is somewhat similar with Nico.
Nico:
Granted, this is a criticism better suited for how their relationship is depicted in later books, however it somewhat works here too, I think. (I hope)
While being in Charleston with Piper and Hazel, Annabeth has these thoughts regarding Nico:
In less than four days, unless they found him and freed him, Nico would be dead. Annabeth felt that deadline weighing on her, too. Sheâd always had mixed feelings about Nico di Angelo. She suspected that heâd had a crush on her ever since they rescued him and his big sister Bianca from that military academy in Maine; but Annabeth had never felt any attraction to Nico. He was too young and too moody. There was a darkness in him that made her uneasy. Still, she felt responsible for him. (Mark of Athena, Chapter 18)
While this isnât 100% a positive depiction of Nico, it implies something which the narrative wants to be true, but isnât actually true in the PJO books:
That Nico and Annabeth had a relationship throughout PJO, or at the very least enough interactions for Annabeth to feel responsible for him, for her to logically draw the conclusion that he has a crush on her and for allowing her to make general statements regarding his personality.
Sadly, this isnât exactly the case.
Throughout the entirety of the five Percy Jackson books and the various PJO short stories, Annabeth and Nico were at the same place for only four chapters during Battle of the Labyrinth and most of their interactions, if they ever took place, happened entirely off-screen. If my memory serves me right, they interact on page one single time, while on Geryonâs farm.
Which means that Nico has as many on screen interactions with Annabeth as he does with Juniper, which makes this thought process a bit shallow to me.
And what makes me mad is that instead of using Heroes of Olympus to actually build a relationship between them, or show them interacting in meaningful ways, the narrative simply pretends as if they already did. (Which admittedly becomes more obvious in Boo and afterwards. Not that obvious in mark of Athena, but Iâm nitpicky because I already know the other books, these couple chapters piss me off a bit and I think they could have had a really sweet relationship if the story would have actually cared enough to build it.)
"The Kane siblings are the equivalent of the Big Three kids in the Greek/Roman pantheon and they're way more powerful than you think," I say into the mic. The crowd boos. I am about to leave the stage, but then a voice speaks up. "She's right." I look down at the audience, and see Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase.
Like?? I reread TKC and when Sadie asked Zia about how she used hieroglyphs to cast a spell Zia said it usually took YEARS of training and Sadie did it in like five seconds. And Carter canonically is as good a fighter as Percy.
Okay so, genuine question. I reread The Kane Chronicles a few weeks ago for the first time in years. A question that has been bothering me is how was Anubis able to stay behind in the mortal world? All the other gods were forced back into the Duat yet Anubis gets to chill with his boyfriend and girlfriend.
It's made even weirder that in the crossover with Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase in the Demigod Files, Horus and Isis are back to talking to Carter and Sadie even though they aren't supposed to be able to do that.
