Anyone Who Is All Prissy About Annabeth's Actor Not Being White Should Also Be At LEAST As Angry About

Anyone who is all prissy about Annabeth's actor not being white should also be at LEAST as angry about Clarisse not being plus size.

Personally I love Leah as Annabeth, the first time I saw her on screen I just went "oh, there she is." My ONLY comment about her is that she seems to be shorter than Walker (Percy) but when working with young actors their heights change fast as fuck so I get it. That fact also changes throughout the books so it isn't really that important.

All in all I think the casting is great, but I have noticed one thing I don't really see anyone talking about.

Where are all the plus size characters? In the books Gabe, Dionysus and Clarisse are all described as plus size.

I can understand Gabe, cause le'ts be honest here, the only reason he is described as fat is so that we'll think he's lazy and ugly. But for Clarisse especially I feel like it removes an important part of her character

I always saw myself in Clarisse. Here's a girl who isn't conventionally attractive, knows it, but doesn't let it bother her. She also ends up with a girlfriend from the Aphrodite cabin, who is described as very beautiful (unless I remember wrongly). And their relationship just shows that two people can be in a relationship, even though they are vastly different "numbers" on the "conventional attractiveness scale" Clarisse IS a bully in the books, but she does have quite a lot of developement, so even though her size in the beginning is used to show her as being scary, I feel like she, throughout the books, moves away from that. (This is in no way any hate to the actress, I do think she plays the character really well, but she is extremely conventionally attractive)

As for mr. D, to be fair, his size isn't really all that relevant to the character, and there is (according to the wiki) a possibility that his camp half-blood form is not his REAL form.

But the fact all three of these characters are no longer plus size in the TV-show is something that bothers me, especially Clarisse.

Would love to hear other people's opinions on this!

(Direct book descriptions:

Gabe: "Gabe had put on weight. He looked like a tuskless walrus in thrift-store clothes."

Mr. D: "The man facing me was small, but porky. ... He looked like those paintings of baby angels"

Clarisse: "She wore a size XXXL Camp Half-Blood tshirt" also described several times just as "the big girl")

Anything over 20°c and I'm actively dying. I'm uncomfortable in anything over 15° c...

Personality test, is 80f/26c too hot for you?

Okay but hear me out. So the Castiel winchester headcanon is really good, but like, personally I kinda feel like Cas needs to be more his own person, like the winchesters are deof his family, but he is more than just what he is for them. Therefore I prefer the Castiel Novak, like, its a bit weird cause he doesnt really have a realtionship to this family (except obv Claire) but still, I think he really could've made it his own. Okay thats my two cents

Cas and Aziraphale would have had some amazing convos if they ever met

A: "yeah, so he did this big confession, and then he kissed me-"

C: "What?? He actually kissed you? Damn you lucky bastard"

A: "well yeah, but I couldn't go with him, heaven needed me"

C: "So you just LEFT him for heaven?? Do you have any IDEA how many times I've gone against heaven, properly betrayed them, just to be in the same ROOM as the man I love??? Meanwhile you get KISSED by yours and STILL abandon him for heaven? Tsk tsk"

A: "well, it's not that simple though, is it? Hes a demon, Im an angel, we couldn't ever acrually BE together"

C: "I mean, mine was a demon to for a little bit, doesn't mean its hopeless, and your demon is a NICE one, mine murdered people"

A: "but it doesn't matter that he's a Nice Demon, we still can't be together, he had the chance to become an angel and be with me, but he didn't accept it"

C: "oh, cause being an angel is so wonderful, huh? Dealing with all of heaven's rules?"

C: "Look, yours is still waiting for you, he isn't dead, and he isn't posessed. You can be mostly free from heaven if you just try. You are the ONLY thing stopping this from happening, so stop being stupid and appreciate what you got, we can't all be that lucky"

A: "I guess youre right... what happened to your anyways?"

C: "oh, well, I confessed my love for him, then I got sent to super hell, shortly after he died and went to heaven..."

A: "... You know what? I gotta go talk to mine... heaven be damned"

(I know this is very out of character, but you get the vibe)

Finally got my ass to the chiropractor today, and my guy loosened a muscle in my jaw (I struggle with a lot of tension and pain in my jaw muscles), and somehow he cleared my sinuses?? I have had a slightly blocked nose for the past MONTH, and he just accidentally fixed it???
