Wait, the Hera x Echo plotline??? (re: your post on Hestia and Athena’s relationship) I’ve (hate)read all of LO and I somehow don’t remember that at ALL
tbf it was revealed in a recent FP episode which is still locked up, but they have tried to reference it being a thing on like two occasions (including Ares saying something along the lines of "she's my mom's personal assistant or girlfriend or something") so it really just feels like it being canon now is purely for fanservice and not to service an actual character arc u.u
EDIT: Here's an ask I responded to a week or so ago going more in-depth on the Hera x Echo thing so feel free to check that out!

So I wanted to talk about how Anya is clearly traumatised because of her telepathy and how it has probably given her more grief and pain than anything else. Like yes there are occasions when she enjoys what she hears and has used it to her advantage (she wouldn’t have gotten a spy dad and an assassin mom if she didn’t use her telepathy after all) but this week’s episode highlights the fact that she already has a rough idea of what will happen when someone finds out about her telepathy or even has an inkling that she’s not a ‘normal’ kid and it is anything but positive.

Remember how in the first episode Anya notes that she will have to leave Twilight/Loid if he finds out she’s a telepath and there’s a flashback showing how the scientists at the lab/facility were the ones that first planted that notion into her head?
I’m sure that her abusers’ words were enough to deter her from revealing her secret but it’s also important to note that Anya was adopted and returned four times. Meaning, that she was confronted with the reality that her abusers were right not just once, but four times.
And if this scene is any indication, Anya's astute perceptiveness has freaked out at least one set of adopters and led her to being shunned and subsequently returned.
That would be enough to traumatise any child but to someone who was already warned (possibly multiple times) that her power must be kept hidden? It makes sense why Anya is as desperate as she is to make sure that no one finds out that she’s a “freak” or a “witch”. She already knows and has felt the consequences of that over and over.
It also makes this scene in episode 4 a lot more devastating in hindsight because Anya just managed to find a family that hasn’t tossed her out because of her abnormalities yet. She doesn’t want to lose a place so warm and loving. Not when she’s so close to the perfect family life that she so dreamed of.
That’s why this week’s episode is so good for Anya’s self-confidence/self-worth and emotional/mental wellbeing. Not only did the heroic deed that she used her ability for give her public praise and recognition-
-but it also gave her private recognition and praise.
Like, there was absolutely no need for the Forgers to keep up the pretense here. The boy’s family already drove off and there was no one around them so there was absolutely no need to praise her anymore. But they did it anyway.
And man, the fact that Anya is able to read their minds here and see that they are genuinely proud of her is just icing on this sweet sweet cake.
She now realises that her power can be used to help people. That maybe it won’t just give her pain and grief. That maybe it can do good.
And looking at her being so happy about it makes me very emotional and I’m so glad that the beginning of Anya healing from her trauma was done in such a heartfelt way.
This little girl is so strong for dealing with what she has dealt with (and continues to deal with) till now and I can’t wait to see the rest of her journey.r

Why people doesn't talk about Anya being really smart? Everyone focus on her wits, totally agree tho, or how "dumb" she is but she's literally 4yo and all her classmates are 6yo. She goes to an elite school and even if she's on a big disadvantage she's able to pass classes, of course she won't have good grades
