What she says: I’m fine
What she means: Annabeth Chase doesn’t have a home and I’m not talking about a sentimental home like camp, I’m talking about a real actual home where she can come and crash and have her stuff and it’s her own space, she probably has a room at her dad’s but it’s not *her* room and she crashes a lot at the Jackson’s and she lives at camp but like….she lives with a bunch of her siblings in a cabin, she probably has a little “me” space but what happens when she is not in school? She goes to a boarding school, let’s be realistic she is not gonna live at the Jackson’s their place is already small and there is no way teenager Annabeth is sharing a room with Percy, she sneaks in at night, yes, but come on there is no way she is gonna live with him at his parents place. And like, let’s says she comes back to NYC after a trip to Boston and her school is closed…she doesn’t have a place to go! Camp is too far away and yeah she probably crashes at the Jackson but her stuff is still in a suitcase, she doesn’t have a place of her own to unpack, she doesn’t have a proper home and we are talking about the girl who wants something permanent and I’m crying.

alright you know what i got mad anyway sorry

  • sally jackson is a phenomenal mother but she does a fucking lot more than bake cookies okay
  • this woman lost her family when she was five
  • this woman grew up being neglected
  • and then proceeded to drop out of high school to take care of the man who neglected her
  • and then she raised a fucking baby entirely on her own, with no family at all
  • a baby that had a death warrant on his head since the day he was conceived, no less
  • she had nothing and she worked her ass off to make a good life for her son, and she did a fucking good job of it
  • and then she spent years in an abusive relationship all while continuing to work her ass off and make a good life for her son, despite being verbally and physically abused about everything she did
  • and then she fucking got herself out of that abusive relationship, and there is nothing fucking cute about sally jackson feeling so desperate and afraid of her abuser that her only way out was to kill him okay
  • and then she uses her new money to get a new apartment for herself
  • and then she fucking saved up enough to fulfill her lifelong dream of going to college to become a writer
  • and she still routinely has to let her son risk his life to save the world because she knows it wouldn’t be fair of her to try and beg him not to, it’s part of who he is and she knows she needs to respect that, so instead of guilting him and giving him ultimatums, she fucking gives him her blessing
  • do you know how fucking hard that must be for her though? and do you ever hear her guilt him or take it out on him? n e v e r
  • so like fuck yeah she’s kind and beautiful and loving but she aint soft and sweet this woman is tough as fucking nails, she’s strong, she gets fucked over and over again and she still never gives up
  • she pulled herself out of tons and tons of extremely tedious and difficult situations even when literally all the odds were stacked against her
  • percy even says that there’s steel in her, that she has a rebellious streak that’s just like him
  • and like i really don’t wanna ever hear anyone forgetting this part of her ever again
  • so next time you talk about her baking cookies remember that she’s also an orphan who grew up in an abusive household, dropped out of highschool, became a single mother, survived an abusive marriage, and worked her ass off to get herself to where she is today
