I Know Like Everyone Is Taking About The Casting Of Annabeth As Black, Which I'm More Than Ok With. But

I know like everyone is taking about the casting of Annabeth as black, which I'm more than ok with. but ever since she was cast, I know we've all seen the blatant racism, but I've also noticed art of white Annabeth (still a valid interpretation) or white cosplayers are getting flooded with comments along the lines of

"this is EXACTLY how I pictured Annabeth"

"this is MY Annabeth"

"the true Annabeth"

we all know what you are trying to communicate even if you aren't saying it directly. stop it.

and for everyone who is saying "I'd be just as upset is they casted a POC character as white!" I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you would.

but those characters race is important.

for representation.

for their background

it's important that Leo is Mexican because his grandfather went to a school for colored children, where he met Hazel.

it's important that Hazel is black because of the culture shock she gets when she comes to the 2000s in terms of racism.

it's important that Frank is Chinese because it is how he is decended from Neptune.

it's important that Piper is Cherokee because she carries all the lessons and parables she got from her uncle with her throughout her story.

it's not important that Annabeth is white because the only thing important about her appearance is that people underestimate her because of it. you know a demographic that is often disrespected and underestimated for their appearance? black people, especially black women.

Leah Jeffries is not a "diversity hire" and it absolutely disgusting behavior to say she is. she is a twelve year old girl who already has an acting career and worked hard to get where she is.

Leah, i can not wait to see what you'll do with Annabeth.

• Only freshman to recieve a martial scholarship to China.

• 6 overseas offers.

• Overall #1 in math and chemistry.

• #1 in Busan street battles for two years.

• Just dance academy let him learn dance for free cause nobody could deny that natural talent.

• Has a black belt in Taekwondo.

• #1 rank in school despite being a dancer since 8th grade and spending most his time dancing.

Post debut

• Had the shortest trainee period and still debuted as the lead vocalist and the main dancer of BTS. ( enourmous flex )

• Has the most commercially successful solo on the wings album; the masterpiece that is Lie which stayed on melon charts for 8 weeks, the longest in the groups solos.

• His ‘lie’ was the only solo song on the top 30 kpop songs streamed on Spotify along with psy.

• ‘Lie’ was the only BTS solo to enter iTunes top 100 chart.

• Has the most views on his solo comeback trailer out of all; serendipity the Queen.

• Has the most watched fancam in kpop history; The holy fake love fancam.

• Jimin’s solos ‘lie’ & ‘serendipity’ made history when they surpassed 50 m streams on Spotify for the first time after psy as korean solo songs.

• The only idol mentioned on guardians best solo boy band members along with the resident king, G dragon.

• #1 idol in all of Korea based on the Gallup poll 2018 which does the actual polling and estimates for elections and stuff so I mean, that’s fucking reliable.

• #1 brand ranking multiple times including December 2018.

• His new solo “promise” became the fastest BTS song on souncloud to cross the streams.

And all of this is when I’m only counting the things that actually matter and not shitty websites and random polling.

Being average has never been a Jimin thing. His whole life has been a flex.

Just cause he is humble and doesn’t talk about his achievements doesn’t mean we as his fans won’t.

So yeah, if y’all think Jimin has no solo achievements in his life or career try and come at me personally, with all due respect,

“I’ll show you”

Remember when Dick got shot and passed out on the fire escape and Alfred had to go get him? Imagine how scared Alfred probably was when he climbed up the fire escape and saw Dick unresponsive and covered in blood. For a brief moment, he probably thought that he was too late and that Dick was already dead.

it’s gonna be absolutely soul crushing when (inevitably) one of the main characters dies in vol 2. but imagine one of them actually dies the same way vecna’s other victims did.

it’s going to be so gruesome to watch. absolutely traumatizing. seeing a character we love so much die in such a brutal way.

but what’s going to be even worse is seeing the other people’s reactions. we’re watching a beloved character die like that. but they’re watching their friend, their family, get murdered in such a cruel fashion. and it’s going to be absolutely heartbreaking.

I know that fandom often clowns on this statement

I Know That Fandom Often Clowns On This Statement

from Law (about needing to take down monsters to learn about history), taking it as proof that he's somehow not fighting for freedom or that

I Know That Fandom Often Clowns On This Statement

freedom of expression is not something important that has been sanctified ratified in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. (Article 19)

But that it is instead some nerdish pastime that no other character in One Piece or the real world is invested in (WG or otherwise) for obvious reasons of power, politics and freedom/repression.

But there are governments and organisations that regularly suppress this kind of expression (in One Piece and the real world--no surprise):

I Know That Fandom Often Clowns On This Statement

There are governments and organisations that fear the pursuit of knowledge:

Partial SBS: Volume 86: Pedro led the Nox expedition party who were chased by the government for searching for poneglyphs, thus they became the Nox Pirates. That's a story from about 15 years ago.

And there are governments and organisations that penalise people by taking their lives

for seeking out knowledge. 👆👇

the power and desire to learn about history is emphasised and

(from chapter 396 👆)

(from chapter 1066 👆)

and also acknowledged as a very dangerous undertaking.

And even Cora talks to Law about

I Know That Fandom Often Clowns On This Statement

the meaning behind the Will of D. not being lost, BUT "living on in the dark shadows of history around the world" (it's not easily seen either).

Like, knowing history and access to history/knowledge is one of the main themes of the manga. And Big Mom is a monster. And the World Government is a repressive monolith. And this guy (guy?) 👇:

I Know That Fandom Often Clowns On This Statement
I Know That Fandom Often Clowns On This Statement

nuking places and people for not toeing the line, or for knowing too much; riddled with antipathy towards holders of the Will of D. and, with Artur's (Library of Ohara) claim (among others) that the ancient immense kingdom was formed by descendants of the D. clan (which is canon)—

It was through Imu though that we were given confirmation of what many of us suspected for a long while, being that this immense kingdom was formed by the members of what is now called the D. clan.

—then wouldn't you too be curious and more than a little pissed off that your curiosity could be the catalyst for persecution and genocide?

That searching for identity, roots...your reason for being, is not allowed? (Sound familiar?)

Like, those scholarly waters are nothing if not shark-infested.

Ultimately the pen (Robin's ability to read the poneglyphs, the scholars' meticulous research) probably will be mightier than the sword, and although bureaucracy can entrap, knowing how to read between the lines, or even to read them, can loosen the ties that bind, and help ensure they are not unfairly cast.

Keep fighting to study history, Law. I too want to know about the Will of D.
