TOMMY KNOWS TOMMY KNOWS TOMMY KNOWS TOMMY KNOWS TOMMY TOMMY TOMMY KNOWS
The reason Annabeth was blonde was literally to fight the dumb blonde stereotype that was popular in 2005 with celebrities like Paris Hilton, Kate Hudson, and Brittney Spears. I was 12 in 2005, and the dumb blonde was an insanely popular media trope. Rick wanted to show that stereotypes of all kinds are unacceptable. That’s why all the kids have ADHD, dyslexia, diverse backgrounds, trauma and quirks that set them apart from other characters in the YA genre. Annabeth was the product of an era, and her physical aesthetics were directly linked to a sexism problem of the time.
You know what the biggest target of abuse is in the US among teens in 2022?
Black girls.
Rick is making an overt point. You will not, under his watch, write off black girls into the same corner. The “sassy ghetto black woman” stereotype needs to end, and especially in a post Ferguson world, it’s more important than ever to showcase a character who defies those stereotypes.
The choice to cast Annabeth as black DOES NOT go against Annabeth as a character. It is the logical next step in her evolution from 2005 book to 2022 screen, and I for one am here for it.
Okay but I honestly just want a fic where Tommy is a gremlin child who Wilbur found in a dustbin and whose favorite toy is uncle nasty.
Wilbur is always trying to throw the doll away, but either Tommy finds out and Wilbur doesn't want to make Tommy cry, OR Uncle nasty makes his way back no matter what Wilbur does.
Thinking about starting a bitter feud with @omeletteyyy
Here are some SBI fics i’ve read on AO3 I thought I would share :). Some are one-shots, series, longer fics a mix of the sort. As well as a mix of different tropes. SOME ARE DARK SBI FICS SO PLEASE READ THE TAGS AND TW’s. As well as some might be crime boys, bedrock duo, etc. This is just all the fics i’ve read throughout 2022 so I’d thought i’d give recs for anyone who needs them! Anyways enjoy :). I will add more as the days go on but here are some from my list! :)
You Can’t Spell Student Government Without Three Letters From Stupid by leafcabbage: This is a Ranboo-Centric fic that features bench trio. I believe there are different POV’s and I know it isn’t just an SBI fic but I thought I would list it. This is the first fic apart of the series it’s in. This was honestly one of the best fics i’ve ever read. It talks a lot about struggling with mental illnesses and the stressors of being an overworked college student and it immediately draws you in. It is a long fic but i highly recommend. (Completed)
Might As Well Be Dead by Timeskip_God: This one is Tommy-Centric and features a lot of dark themes so pay attention to the warnings. Features Eburnean Tommy AU as well as SBI. I believe it takes place in the DSMP universe but i could be wrong. This one might be a tear jerker so watch out. Overall I love this fic and it was definitely a good one. 10/10 (Completed)
A Very Odd Family Indeed by Opheliabloo: This one I believe is multiple perspectives or it may just be Philza-Centric. It talks about how Philza finds children and says you’re mine now :). Has angst with happy ending so very good. (completed)
Little Flower by Peb_ble_sto_ne: Okay you better strap in because this one hurt. This is a one shot but it includes HEAVY angst. Switches from multiple POV’s. Tommy battles with depression while his brothers try to fix their broken relationship. This one is so sad but is so good. (completed)
That’s My Kid, My Sunrise by Spooky_mateo: Apocalypse AU with kid Shroud the Spider. Tommy-Centric. Tommy tried to keep his kid safe and finds something that was missing found along the way. Very Very good! (completed).
HOOOLY SHIT
HAPPY 117 EVERYONE ITS BUNGOVER ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
So I was reading Tommyinnit's clinic for supervillains and accidently saw some very angsty siren art and started crying, but then I actually read it and Wilbur get's revived and the first thing I think is
❝ how does your garden grow? ❞
Nico becoming a teen mother of 15 wasn’t exactly something I was expecting in tsats2023

“this ship isn’t canon” to YOU. I, however, am delusional
