User blog:Salterclark/Perachel Rant (Backed Up)

Im a Percabeth shipper. I know you're thinking 'Oh, this is going to be some toxic crap.' But it isn't. Im going to try and back up why I ship Percabeth, and not Perachel. I'm not just going to say 'Because it's cannon'. I have real reasons, and actual events and things to back them up. Now, let'a start. (Please excuse grammee mistakes)

1. Perachel shippers are trying to say Annbeth is abusive. the thing is, she isnt. Perachel shippers use the judo flip as an example. In reality, that wasnt actually abusive. Annabety could severly injured, or even killed Percy, if she wanted to. But, he ends up pefectly fine. He isnt injured at all. Same goes for EVERY other example Perachel shippers try to use. Annabeth couldve really hurt Percy, but she didnt. And Annabeth isnt mentally abusive either. As we know, Percy comes to camp as a very insecure person. But then we see as he progresses how becomes more confident, and his self esteem rises. Annabeth plays a major part in this. She shows him that he matters, and that hes strong, both mentally and physicslly. Without Annabeth, Percy might have stayed the same kevel of insecure.

2. Perachel is actually impossible. Rachel is the Oracle of Delphi. When she becomes the oracle, she swears to never have a romantic realatkonship. Just like the hunters of Artemis. Dont say 'Oh, Rachel could just quit to be with Percy!' Because she cant. Being the oracle is a lifetime commitment, and theres no backing out. So Perachel technically is impossible.

3. Rachel no longer has romantic feelings for Percy. We all know she had a crush on Percy, but she did get over it. And Percy never, not once, had romantic feelings of any sort towards Rachel. They are friends, very good friends, but thats all. There isnt the chemistry between them.

4. This is another thing about Annabeth. People sya shes just to extreme for Percy. They say that Rachel is better, because shes more laid back and calm. What they dont know, is they are actually saying somehting veyr hurtful to all females. Perachel shippers who say this are saying Annabeth is a bad person in general, and Rachel is a good one. Well guess what. I actually am very hurt by that, since I myself am similair to Annabeth. Does that mean I dont deserve my boyfriend? I should just igve him to someone else? No, it doesnt. Annabeth isnt a very chill person like Rachel. Percy still loves her for it. And Rachel, yes, is an awesome characetr, but she just isnt the one for Percy.

5. This last part isnt about bad things. I would like to say that Rachel, in no way, deserves all the hate she gets. If you knew Percy before you had any idea he like Annabeth, you would've kissed him too! Rachel is actually one of my favorite characters. I completely love her, and I think shes an amazing person. And not to mention her art! Rachel is awesome. Shs just isnt right for Percy.
