#i also think that Leo would talk in random spurts of like max five words if he’s really focused

[pleasejustletpercyrest]

I have this very intense and specific headcanon that Leo talks really slowly instead of super fast, like he’s portrayed and generally thought to speak like. I think he doesn’t have a lot of experience talking to people, and his mind runs like x10 faster than his mouth so he speaks with so many pauses and a lot of ‘um’s and ‘like’s. It’s equally as incomprehensible, but also leaves the comedic room for people to not only wonder if he’s insane from the content of his words but also if he’s just extremely high. Like, he takes five minute pauses in between thoughts and scares the shit out of Percy, who just wanted to know how the pipes worked in case he wanted to water bend during an on deck fight.

Leo, working on a blueprint: but it’s like….

Percy:

Leo:

Percy:

Leo:

Percy, assuming he’s done talking, turning away:

Leo: um yeah like the interior stability—

Percy: what the fuck

He also forgets half the things he’s saying and remembers hours later and starts the conversation again, completely unprompted to the point that if he doesn’t get to it in the moment, the seven individually just sorta hang around him after an extended period of time to see if he’s going to finish what he was saying from the reminder that is seeing their face. The ADHD in him really shines in mid-fight conversation, especially when he’s seeing some of them for the first time that day during an attack.

Leo, randomly during an attack: HEY HAZEL!

Hazel, fending off a monster, worried he needs cover: WHAT?!??

Leo: MY FAVORITE CAKE FLAVOR IS FUNFETTI!!

Hazel, not knowing what the fuck that is: WHAT????

Anyways, I think the seven should’ve had more friendship qualities after living and fighting together, and I think they’d all form some sort of internal translator to understand the bullshit that comes out of Leo’s mouth. Thank you for coming to my Teddy Talky.
