I know this weeks episodes are starting to come out but neither of theirs have yet so I’m counting this as win.
I wanted to make fully rendered pieces for each of the pairs but I also wanted to get them all done before the second week and ran out of time.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I hope they keep Annabeth’s eyes and hair dark. Black girls deserve to be able to be portrayed onscreen as magical without having any of their features altered to look more white. The “magical Black person with light eyes/hair” is so played out.
Annabeth was blonde in the books to overturn the stereotype of dumb blondes. Black girls (especially Black girls with neurodivergencies/learning disabilities like dyslexia and ADHD) are shown as smart and capable onscreen significantly less than blonde girls. I’m so happy that they’ll now get to see themselves shown as clever and special and important.
If anyone has any issues with Black Annabeth, they can get over it.

This is very important research so I can figure out how to arrange my books
