Disillusioned and “done with it” older children of Athena letting a twelve year old Annabeth be the head conselour of the cabin because she is at the peak of her delusions about the grandeur and glory of greek heroism and they know it will make her happy really is a much better take than like…. an actual child being in charge of a cabin with teenagers in it solely because she’s been at camp the longest.
she takes the position very seriously and drops dramatic lines like “the real world is where the monsters are” with the utmost sincerity and they’re just like “that’s nice, hun”
