[@lookiepookie2109]

Rick was dressed like hearthstone in that first picture

[@MushroomHeadGacha]

I like characters with trauma. The more, the better, as the saying goes.

[@sanmitamund8515]

when i read the scene whe Leo "died" i burst into tears and I was in SCHOOL! My bestie picked up her scale and was like ok who"d Rick kill this time?

[@that_gryffindor_demigod]

[@SolangeloisOTP]

WHY DOES EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER IN THIS FANDOM HAVE TO HAVE SO MUCH TRAUMA? WHY UNCLE RICK? JUST WHY?

[@user-gi6hr9ld4q]

This is like Nico's backstory

[@PercyJackson_HarryPotter599]

[@Potato_666-32]

[@TheGeekofGeekMytholygy]

ALL👏THE 👏LaDIES👏LUV👏LEO👏 SAY IT WITH ME👏👏👏👏

[@lamandabell6820]

Hotel? Valhalla
So fricking amazing.

[@Stanleydoescos]

The thing is, Leo is one of my favorite characters, and I was about ready to kill someone when I found out he has these problems 💀 BUT THEN AFAIN- HES A DEMIGOD SOOO-

[@the_PJO_girl1086]

Why must uncle rick torture us??

[@charlotteanas6059]

I love himmm

[@Random.editz_4]

I’m laughing my ass off 😭😂

[@Jam59345]

That’s why I like him XD

[@hansikabonkanpally5977]

He made a kenji character.

[@Leo_Valdez-v7g]

Oh come on Rick... Just why T^T

[@CrazyCat_6]

The first pic looks like Hearth loll

[@An_Athena_Kid]

My 3 most fav charecters are the ones who have the most trauma..
1. Leo Valdez
2. Nico Di Angelo
3. Percy Jackson

[@Angiexcoffe]

Pov: artist crearing characters and giving them trauma because is yummy
And since Rick is our artist man…that applies to his characters yippee

[@litleo_amv]

This is really funny and so true lol

[@stellamcd_18]

-oop

[@solangelo009]

hes gonna die but not really...

[@Thatb1tchygirlcalypso]

That’s why I’m here

[@Fandomerr]

NOOOO LEOOOO

[@HarikaVankayala]

Poor leo

[@user-rb9hm5py4h]

Leos full name IS Leonidas valdez

[@Bella.Valdez.is.number-1]

😂

[@Ally-cat5689]

I live that your name is Leo Valdez makes it so much funnyer

[@olive-ew6oj]

WHY SO REAL LIKE PORE LERO

[@Luvmesumtrdles]

hotel? valhalla

[@D05015]

Of course die but not really. Rick knows better than think of killing leo because he knows all the fandom will kill him in his sleep if he did that

[@GhostKing993]

So funny

[@lilliemillward263]

Most characters have some type of trauma...

[@That-Dam-Nerd]

😂🤣

[@Harley-pjo]

Rick: then I’m going to kill his bff 😃
And I will not let him see his bff before he dies… oh well
Fr though I love Leo so much. He really deserved better. It’s so sad to see him feel like he is worthless and for everyone to always exclude him.

[@YenamFam]

Nah cause all of them have so much trauma that it's not even funny

[@Demigod_Arts3]

Honestly though

[@TTTChicken]

yeah but he made the sacrifice to kill gaia (luckily he had the physicians cure) sorry for the spoilers

[@Diceof20sides]

Hotel? Valhalla is a great joke

[@nicolelafferty5552]

!!!!SPOILER!!!
And thats not mentioning the fact that he basically killed his mom

[@humairahkazi2459]

Well, not exactly, but he does blame himself, which pretty much has the same effect. It was his fire powers that killed her, but that was bc gaea was provoking him and trying to get him to lose control of his fire, so that his mom would die and his spirit would break.

[@nicolelafferty5552]

@@humairahkazi2459 well I know he didn't kill her exactly, but it was his powers and that's the whole reason he didn't use his powers until his first quest, he felt guilty and that would've been extremely traumatizing for anyone, let alone an 8 year old

[@humairahkazi2459]

@nicolelafferty5552 yea ofc. Like I said, it was technically gaea, but Leo still blames himself and probably always will. He's tied for my favorite character, and he has such an awful backstory. I'm glad he was eventually able to find peace with calypso and the girls in indiana.

[@nicolelafferty5552]

@@humairahkazi2459 right? I love them do much :)

[@KeyToTheCloset]

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT UNCLE RICK DRESSING LIKE HEARTHSTONE AND THE HOTEL? VALHALLA AT THE END

[@Daughter_of_Nyx-nq3fr]

And his girlfriend is going to be horrible(look up what she did to odysseus in the myth)

[@puckpaes4692]

Why Rick why?
