Am I the only one who hates Annabeth?
Katie wrote: "What exactly do you mean?"I mean that I have her wit and personality, but I am a guy and I look different.
Not that different other than Hermione really just knows facts while Annabeth knows the facts but uses them. Hermione is like a book you could say. While Annabeth is like a robot. Not the best analogy ever but I hope you get what I mean.
I don't like the Harry Potter movies because I once saw a disturbing scene where Harry and Hermione were making out naked.
Yeah, and I think Ronald Wesley saw that.
Ugh jeesh I did NOT need to know that
So now you understand why I don't like Harry Potter.
*sigh*
I used to think Harry potter was great an hour ago. Not anymore.

Guys, when I wrote: "I used to think Harry Potter was great an hour ago.
Not anymore."
I was referring to the movie not the book. I still love the book.
Not anymore."
I was referring to the movie not the book. I still love the book.
Plus I was also only referring to that movie. (aka deathly hallows part a)
Actually I didn't like either of the deathly hallows movies.

I actually don't know. Maybe. I was looking through google images for a dragon pic and then I saw it and was like that looks awesome.

Hmmm I have unconsciously picked something that is apparently awesome. Everyone take note. I am officially (sort of) psychic. :) jk I'm not that awesome. Do you recommend Temeraire?
Wait there's a series and a stand alone which is it?
Does anyone find it crazy that we started talking about how much we do or don't hate Annabeth to Harry Potter to Temeraire?
(I mean for not buying the books all at once)
I like Annabeth but I admit in The Heroes of Olympus series she has sort of gotten on my nerves. In PJO she was strong, independent, intelligent, and just a character that I appreciated. But now she's clingy, insecure, appears to be extremely dependent on Percy, and at times makes the stupidest decisions. Maybe it's not Annabeth I dislike. No, it's more like I dislike her relationship with Percy and what it turned her into. Rick Riordan is making it appear as Annabeth relies heavily on Percy. TOO heavily. Like without him she can't make any rational choices. She's overprotective in a way that if ANY girl shows interest in him she'll hate her. Now if Rick Riordan had done this differently, their relationship, differently I might have liked it more. Not liked it maybe but dealt with it (because to begin with I really didn't see the point of pushing them together, a girl and a boy can be friends with each other without it becoming a relationship).

Oh my god that's it exactly!
Oh my god that's it exactly!

Percy and Annabeth aren't right for each other at all but RR ships them SO MUCH that he has turned their relationship into something horrible. I'm sure he didn't intend to do that and I'm not sure he even realizes it. It's just Percy and Annabeth are just wrong. They are so different and yet, also not the opposites attract kind of adorable. I think I would've liked Annabeth if she weren't with Percy because I simply worshiped her in the first three PJO books and Percy and Rachel would've been cute :)

^ THIS. This comment should get an award! *_*
Annabeth's fatal flaw is deadly pride after all, so you can't blame her for that. But SOMETIMES she relies on Percy a BIT too much.
It's so sad to know there are people in fandom that dislike Annabeth. No offense, of course.

You are one lucky person if you don't know who Bella is! Gods, I wish I didn't know either :/
I don't mind if it is :D. Let me know when I can start my rant!
I really likes Annabeth...I don't hate her.
Sometimes I hate her, but it is mostly because she acts like a brat and I want Percy for myself !
Annabeth is one of my favorite characters of all time, but I can understand how many people dislike her. People have a hard time with characters like Annabeth, who are realistic in the sense that they can sometimes act like a complete jerk. Annabeth has flaws that hit very close to home: jealousy, pride, a tendency to be more than a little moody. But, Annabeth does have her reasons. After all, if a beautiful girl who was, in essence, your polar opposite, showed up out of the blue, falling for the guy you adored since you were twelve, would it piss you off? Absolutely. And if you lived in a world of monsters, would you be paranoid and angry when your best friend shows up with a monster in tow, especially the species that killed your former best friend? Yep. If you had an IQ up there with Einstein and extreme power and performance in nearly every activity ever, you would probably have a little bit of an ego too. Something people tend to forget about Annabeth is that her past was horrible. Everyone (and I do mean everyone) she's ever loved has left her, and death is a standard part of her world; yet people still blame her for being possessive of Percy.
I do understand why people dislike Annabeth, but one thing that I cannot stand, though, is when people say Annabeth doesn't love Percy nearly as much as he loves her. Seriously? I don't know what you call dedication, but she took a poisoned knife for him, and never stopped searching when he disappeared.
Every person has a different opinion, but I personally love Annabeth despite her abundant flaws.

She has her flaws but I love everything about her because I feel she is real and relatable.
When you start a post with "Am I the only one..." the chances are good that the answer is no.
No offense, peoples, but I'd like to see how you would turn out with betrayals and death in your life. I seriously doubt you'd be cheery.
Katie wrote: "That scene was horrible"That scene was supposed to be horrible. It was a form of torture, meant to torture Ron Weasley. Torture is always horrible for both the recipient and the witnesses (unless the witnesses are psychotic). The more compassionate you are, the more hurts to watch.
I suppose I can't blame you if you choose not to ever watch that movie again. It's the reason I won't watch certain horror movies.
Rabia wrote: "Does anyone find it crazy that we started talking about how much we do or don't hate Annabeth to Harry Potter to Temeraire?"Well, this is a little judgemental but how much you hate someone is hardly worth talking about (or thinking about, really). Harry Potter and Temeraire are both more worthwhile subjects. So I'm actually a little impressed that this discussion has diverted in that direction.
I've never heard of Temeraire
Yeah but seeing that scene was traumatizing because I saw that making out scene when I was 8 or 9.
Do you know real people with gray eyes?
I wish children of Hermes had real powers.
They are good at pranks. Even though that may not be as awesome as the other demigods, I think they're better than the Aphrodite children that can't charmspeak weel
Ananth wrote: "Do you know real people with gray eyes?" Sort of. Most of my siblings have gray-ish eyes. My eyes shift between shades of blue, but sometimes they end up a gray color.

THANK YOU!! Everyone has been going against me in this thread...it's nice to have someone agree with me:') And Katie, nope I don't think Annabeth and Hermione are alike at all. Maybe intellectually but not otherwise. I can state a hundred reasons why...
