tw*ter died so i came back here

The sirens had no effect on Percy because the only thing on his mind was making sure Annabeth was safe. This is insane. This is the most accurate Percy-fatal -flaw-tunnel-vision-Jackson ever.

What I love about Donna Troy’s character is she turned sexist writing into a solid and complex character core. Like she went from being the caretaker and mom friend of the teen titans because she was a girl to being the caretaker and mom friend to everyone because that’s her. She takes care of everyone around her, she lives and breathes for everyone around her, not because she’s a female character that is written only for the benefit of the male characters around her, but because she has insecurities and she has fears. She lives and breathes for everyone around her because she believes if she didn’t she’ll lose all her worth, because to her, she’s only what she does to others. That’s why her friendship with Kory is so good and so realistic, because they’re both like that. That’s also why she was an easy victim for Terry, because people like him prey on people like her. And there’s something so realistic about that being the core characteristic of a girl, especially one who was not only raised by warriors, but fought beside a team that has always been the root of insecurity in its members (each TT member thinking they are beneath/worse then the other four). And again I want to highlight how incredibly realistic this depiction is, and how it all stemmed from sexism, because most of girls’/women’s insecurities stem from misogyny.
