Leo

“The energy of the mind is the essence of life.” (Aristotle)

Annabeth Chase really just understood physics at the age of 12 huh
Like at Waterland she knew what time specifically to jump because, quote, “simple physics! Force times the trajectory angle-”
She did those calculations in her head as a twelve year old. Like this is stuff people learn in high school, and this sixth grader just did it. wow. Genius level intellect here.
Since the new cast is closer and closer everyday to getting revealed, pjo fans on twitter started this campaign as a reminder! Becky’s tweet is linked on the tag above! I’m bringing it to Tumblr to spread the word :)
When you wish you were born to a different timeline
Just remember
They cast Walker Scobell (the kid who plays the younger Ryan Reynolds in The Adam Project) to play as Percy Jackson in the new series
This was a result of all the right timelines coming together to form the most ultimate most awesome timeline in which this kid (the one getting beat up, naturally) gets to play Percy Jackson
Y’all, go watch The Adam Project, because toss some black hair dye on him and he’s literally Percy Jackson
