It came to my mind that post-movie Leo would grow increasingly paranoid at the idea of failing and dooming everyone. After fumbling the Key mission that ended/nearly ended the world, Leonardo grows so anxious at the idea of failing that he drives himself insane if they don’t succeed.
The team learns they better fix the situation ASAP, for Leo won’t (read: can’t) sleep or eat until they succeed. Anything the villains are after, no matter how ridiculous or harmless, has become a potentially World-ending scenario for him (and this being RISE, a lot of things he gets so worked up for turn out to be harmless and/or ridiculous).
His family are beside themselves with worry as Leo is less and less himself. Gone is the face-man/jokester brother they knew and loved.
He foregoes anything and everything that’s doesn’t involve training or planning. He even starts skipping family bonding time!
The family is distressed, Mikey in particular, because Leo is driving himself into a self-destructive spiral they can’t get him out of.
Heck! Even Casey is frightened at this new no-nonsense version of Leo. At least his Sensei still preserved some of his personality.
i’ve been thinking about riordanverse demigods and their mommy issues.
annabeth, piper, alex fierro: my mom is an absent goddess who’s kind of a bitch to me and my loved ones
jason, thalia, hazel: my mom was a messed up person when she was alive
nico, leo, frank, magnus chase: my mom died years ago but she was a wonderful person and i miss her every day
percy jackson and will solace: MY MOM 🤱 is my BEST 🤩 FRIEND 👯 she is so LOVELY 🥰 and KIND 💕 and COOL 😎 and i’m having DINNER 🍽️ WITH HER ON SATURDAY 🥳💫🤪
He's telling the kids: "A rocket is coming cover your ears." Then he tells them to remove their fingers once it's gone. At the end of the video, since the girl is wearing Messi Argentina jersey, he jokes with her saying: "They don't appreciate you anymore messi, they don't respect you anymore" to make her smile.
This is a famous influencer from gaza: Ahmed alhenawi. He came to gaza for his wedding which was a week before the genocide. The little girl here is his sister in law, and the little boy is their cousin who's staying with them since his mother was killed by Israeli bombardment.
This is the same girl who said: I wish I could just get killed right now, because I'm so exhausted. You know what's good though? They postponed examinations!
These people need you, never stop talking about Palestine. Speak up. If they find it in themselves to smile and joke during this and not fall into despair so can you. STOP THE GENOCIDE.
