Is the necessity of get it right, to fit, to not disappoint. to want they to like you, to show that you cares but not know how. Will they like it? It will be too much? It will be enough? I will be the weird one again? I should've known.

guys i seriously haven’t been able to stop thinking about the candy scene

something about being a gifted kid and seeing myself in annabeth

something about spending my life reading and learning and becoming book smart and spending all of my time in school or studying or worrying about school work

something about going into the real world and feeling lost and unsure and completely out of my element but everyone still thinks i should be perfect because i’m the smart kid

something about not wanting them to be wrong, about WANTING so badly to be the perfect smart girl but being so unsure about how to please everyone

and seeing those struggles reflected in 12 year old annabeth, the same struggles 12 year old me had. even if it was literally seconds, even one tiny scene.

just. yeah. props to leah that scene felt soooo personal.
