250 Headcanons (Part 5)

Headcanons #201-250. These are just things that I couldn’t really fit in anywhere else.

201. Growing up in camp, and not really having any true female role models in her immediate vicinity, Annabeth’s understanding of how to deal with acne was very limited. Thus, nearly every time she would get a bad zit, she would pick at it until it bled and then slap a band aid over the top of it. It was easier just to say that she fell and scraped her face than to admit she just had a bad zit.

202. Her magical Yankees cap doesn’t turn her invisible if Annabeth has it on backwards. But, she thinks that looks stupid and completely goes against the design and function of a hat, so she never does it.

203. For Christmas one year, she received one of those big bags of Reese’s cups because they were Annabeth’s favorite candy in the world. She ate them all in about a week and then proceeded to get a bad stomache afterwards. Since then, she can’t stand the taste of chocolate and peanut butter together.

204. It doesn’t matter how Annabeth falls asleep, how many blankets there are, or where she is. She will find a way to become a blanket burrito every night, without fail. This has only gotten worse since Tartarus, because feeling like she’s wrapped in the blanket makes her feel like she has some sense of security.

205. The longest she’s ever gone without washing her hair was about two weeks. Her curls were basically in just one huge knot by the end of it.

206. She wants to learn to play the drums in order to help her productively release her anger and aggression.

207. Cookies and cream ice cream is 1000% the way to win her over. Any time she gets a bad test score, gets into an argument, or is just having one of those “bad days,” you can better believe that Annabeth is finding a way to get her hands on some cookies and cream ice cream.

208. She enters the online lotteries for about four different Broadway shows on a daily basis. She has yet to win, a fact which frustrates her to no end.

209. Annabeth has a teddy bear that she keeps in her stuff for camp. His name is Humphrey.

210. Despite her love of Tom Felton and her mental connection of linking Luke to Draco, he is not her favorite Harry Potter character. Annabeth actually really likes James Potter’s character in the books, and has gotten into more than one heated debate with her siblings about whether or not he was a good person.

211. She is weirdly creeped out by nutcrackers. When Annabeth was six, her dad took her to see a production of the Nutcracker in an attempt to “bond.” Personally, she believes it was because her step mom wanted her out of the house, but she never said that aloud. That night, she had a terrible dream about the nutcrackers in their house coming alive and eating everyone. Since then, she refuses to have anything to do with them.

212. Annabeth gets really annoyed whenever Percy, Thalia, or Grover make a dam joke. After all, she was the one who wanted to see the Hoover Dam, and the fact that they went without her just seems like an insult. Sure, she gets that it wasn’t planned, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that they’ve gotten to see it and she hasn’t. Them making dam jokes only reminds her of that.

213. She smacks her gum. Because of this, Annabeth does not chew gum often--only when she’s frustrated because she’s stuck on a project. The more frustrated she gets, the worse her smacking becomes.

214. When she starts working in her architecture firm and has to attend various parties and galas for the companies that she’s working/building for, Annabeth gets into the habit of hiding in the bathroom for most of the night. All her life, she’s lived to hear people’s praise, craving it more than she can begin to put into words. But, being the center of attention to get it makes her extremely uncomfortable and she ends up just trying to skip out on it entirely. There’s about a thirty minute appearance from her at the beginning of the night, and again at the end of the night. Anything else, you can forget.

215. There is one movie that Annabeth absolutely has to see at Christmas. Otherwise, it’s not officially the holiday season. It’s A Muppet Christmas Carol, but she has to watch an older copy of it. The new one took out her favorite song, which she insists is a crime on humanity.

216. Annabeth doesn’t like coffee. When she was in high school, she legitimately tried to like it, but nothing she did made it taste okay. She prefers to rely on Dr. Pepper to keep her awake instead.

217. When Annabeth was young and her step mom had her hands full with Matthew and Bobby, it wasn’t uncommon for Mrs. Chase to put on the television to try and keep Annabeth entertained. While it seldom kept her attention for long, there did seem to be one program that could keep her occupied for about twenty five minutes: Winnie the Pooh. It is, hands down, her favorite kid’s show and she will still sometimes mutter “oh bother,” if something small goes wrong.

218. Annabeth gets incredibly jealous very easily. In fact, if the Sirens hadn’t showed her that her fatal flaw was hubris, she would be inclined to believe that it would be jealousy. She’s very possessive of the people in her life and is always weary that something (or someone) else could come along and take them away from her. It takes next to nothing to make her jealous, but she tries her best to hide it so that she doesn’t come off as crazy. However, there are times when it slips out and Annabeth just takes to ignoring the other person.

219. During her first few years at camp, when most of the campers would go home during the school year, Annabeth would have lessons at camp. Most of them were tailored for her, and she convinced Chiron to teach her Morse code after she learned Greek, and enough Latin to be able to hold a conversation in it.

220. Annabeth absolutely loves taking pictures. On the wall behind her bunk at camp, there’s a huge mashup of photos. Some of them are of her family, but most are of her friends at camp throughout the years. She took some of the ones that Jason found in the Zeus cabin to hang up there, as well. All of the pictures though tell important parts of her life. They show the day her brothers were born and one of the few times Annabeth was allowed to hold them, they show her and Luke and Thalia, laughing and looking half starved as they traveled, they show her and Percy and Grover, making ridiculous faces at the camera after coming back from their first quest. Each picture tells a story, and Annabeth has a bad habit of looking at them and getting lost in those stories. And that’s but a few. There are dozens more tucked into her desk, pinned up on her walls at home, and her collection only grows the older she gets.

221. When Annabeth was young and tried living with her dad again the first time, her brothers were just getting into Legos. However, because they were still small, the concept of “sharing” was still foreign to them and they’d get upset every time Annabeth tried to play with their toys. Their tears would alert their mother, who would scold Annabeth with upsetting her brothers. This went on for several times, until she just gave up on trying to play with the Legos. When she got a little older, her brothers decided they didn’t want them anymore and simply got rid of them, even though Annabeth would’ve loved them. The first thing she buys when she moves into her first apartment is Legos and they go everywhere in that house. Little replicas of major national monuments, models for her own designs, and even the Death Star are in every single room, each one made of Legos.

222. Annabeth was nine the first time she broke a bone. She was climbing a tree and trying to show off for the other campers, when she slipped. She landed on the ground with a sickening crack. When she sat up, her hand was twisted funny and it hurt so bad that she could hardly stand it. Due to her age, Chiron was hesitant to give her any real amount ambrosia for the injury, so she only got a taste and then had to wear a sling for several weeks.

223. Growing up at camp, Annabeth’s exposure to all things pop culture was very limited. So, when she started living with her dad during the school year again, she went overboard trying to catch up on the stuff the other kids her age knew about. Even now, she tries to overcompensate for what she didn’t get to experience as a kid which is why she has an overabundance of knowledge relating to movies, television shows, etc.

224. She’s never seen a show in its completion. Once she gets bored with a story arc, Annabeth will stop watching it. The closest she ever got to finishing a show was the Office, but even then, she got bored after Jim and Pam got married.

225. Hates wearing scarves. They make her feel like she’s trapped and she complains every time someone makes her wear one. On the flip side though, she makes sure everyone else has one on. It’s about ten different levels of hypocritical, but Annabeth doesn’t care.

226. It bothered her to no end when Percy was finally taller than her. Whenever she first realized it, she tried to find ways to make herself appear taller than she was. She’d stand on the step above him, sit on tables, anything to keep feeling like she was bigger than him.

227. Sometimes, she’ll leave her dagger and a note on top of take out boxes, threatening people that she will come after them if they eat her left overs.

228. She has a bad habit of stomping her foot whenever she gets frustrated or mad. It started when she was little and didn’t have the vocabulary to express herself properly, and was just something that never went away.

229. Annabeth isn’t big on dresses. She hates the whole having to deal with false modesty and keeping the skirt down if a monster were to show up. Whenever she is forced to wear a dress, there’s always a pair of shorts underneath. It doesn’t matter the occassion.

230. When she goes away to college, Annabeth’s PTSD and anxiety get infinitely worse. It’s from a suggestion (that she’s pretty sure had charmspeak in it) from Piper that Annabeth agrees to go see a therapist. Her name is Phyllis, who was a former camper as well, and a daughter of Apollo who managed to survive in the real world. They manage to get through most of the problems that have plagued Annabeth from being a demigod, as well as the trauma from before she ever learned about her parentage.

231. Owns about twenty pillows and insists on having them all on the bed with her, claiming that it’ll mess up her back if they aren’t there.

232. Annabeth never got braces. Her teeth were in that borderline area where they were too straight for braces to do much good, but also a little too crooked for a retainer. So, she went without anything. When her wisdom teeth came in though, it caused her bottom teeth to shift and now she’s really self conscious abbout how crowded they look.

233. She’s the kind of person who decorates the back of Christmas trees, and her jack-o-lanterns and gingerbread houses are way too immaculate for something that’ll just get thrown away a little while later.

234. She’s the biggest baby when she gets sick, complaining about her headaches and how cold she is. Still, she’s too stubborn to let anyone do anything for her, but she whines the entire time about having to make her own soup and having to get her own drinks.

235. Whenever Annabeth’s nervous, her hands have to find some way to occupy themselves. Her two top ways to keep them occupied are fiddling with her camp necklace or twirling her hair around her fingers.

236. She convinces Piper to teach her how to braid her hair, but has no patience to actually sit there and completely braid it. So, if she wants her hair braided, she has to go to Piper to do it. But, the habit has found its way to Annabeth braiding other people’s hair absentmindedly when she’s bored. Percy has ended up with several small braids in his hair from when they’ve been studying.

237. When she does text, Annabeth texts in complete sentences, using proper capitalization, periods, and grammar. However, she never picks up when autocorrect changes a word that she types out, so it’s led to some interesting messages being sent. Also, she hardly ever uses emojis. Her most used one is the skull, and it’s only because she’s used it about five times.

238. Literally always has snacks on her. Little pieces of butterscotch candy, a bag of popcorn, or a granola bar. She’s says it’s “being prepared,” but really, she’s just always hungry and needs to keep it on her to eat.

239. Uses a bookbag instead of a normal bag, because it allows her to store more things in it and she thinks it’s easier to keep from losing. In it, she has her snacks, her keys, her dagger, her laptop, sunscreen, one of those tiny little sketch books, a pen, her cell phone and her wallet. It’s basically glued on her person whenever she leaves camp (and most of the time when she’s in camp), because she never knows when the next apocolypse might happen and she needs to be prepared.

240. She wants to backpack through Europe after graduating from college.

241. Her favorite holiday is Halloween and Annabeth starts planning what she’s going to be the Halloween before. She thinks Christmas is over rated, Valentine’s Day is gross, New Year’s Day is a sham, and never really got on bored the Thanksgiving train.

242. She’s seen Star Wars: A New Hope so many times that she can quote it. If she had a lightsaber, it’d be green.

243. Annabeth had a weird phase for about a year during seventh grade where she was really into country music and refuses to ever talk about it. Once, one of her siblings found a Rascal Flatts CD in her stuff, and Annabeth swore up and down that it wasn’t hers. She fished it out of the trash and rehid it at the bottom of her trunk after the rest of the cabin went to archery.

244. Her freshman year of high school, when she stayed with her dad, Annabeth went to a public high school. She took shop class and was the only girl in that class. The other students (including the teacher) kept making comments about how they would help her complete the projects because she was a girl and probably couldn’t do it. She made it a point to show up everyone in that class and refused to go back to that school after the semester was over. However, that was right before the war and after it was over, she ended up transferring to her private all girls school in order to stay closer to her Olympus project.

245. Absolutely loves candles and always has at least five on her nightstand. It’s gotten her in trouble several times because they’re “fire hazards” and “against the rules.” So, they keep getting confiscated, but Annabeth’ll just buy more. Eventually, the other person just decides it’s not worth the fight anymore and Annabeth gets to keep them.

246. She’s never had her picture made with Santa Claus. Her dad was always too busy to take her to the malls where he was, and then she found out that he wasn’t real. Then, the idea of sitting on some stranger’s lap just kind of freaked her out.

247. In one of her art classes, Annabeth made a clay nightlight that was made to look like an old time lamp post. Every Christmas, her dad puts it up on the mantle even though it tilts sideways a little. She gets a little embarrassed when she looks at it, but it also makes her feel like maybe her dad is just a little proud of her.

248. It’s a bigger deal for someone to tell Annabeth that they’re proud of her than that they love her. She gets really flustered and acts really shy, but she loves it.

249. She can’t throw food up and catch it in her mouth.

250. Her favorite kind of weather is when it’s cloudy and a little bit rainy. Not enough to be annoying, but just enough for it to be cold and that you can barely feel the rain. She loves being able to curl up on those days with a cup of hot chocolate, a blanket, and alternate the day sleeping and working on projects.
