Jason Grace Deserved Better

*This is just my opinion. I don’t care if you like TOA

Like most fans, I at first didn’t like Jason too much. Compared to most of the main characters, Jason seemed pretty bland. However, after rereading the books and analyzing Jason’s character, I realized how interesting he is. All his life, Jason has always been the “golden boy” leader type without really exploring himself. After the HOO series though, Jason started exploring more of himself beyond people’s expectations. When I learned about him appearing in the TOA series, I was expecting more exploration and growth for Jason, but it was ignored and he was killed off. This made me very upset.

Jason had a mission to commemorate every god (Greek or Roman) and live his own life. It would’ve been great representation for people who have trouble with their identity. If Rick wanted to add something tragic to Jason’s story then he could’ve done something else. Or he could’ve prolonged his death after doing at least a bit of Jason’s development.

With his relationship with Piper, I didn’t care much for the romance in HOO but felt it was getting better when they both agreed to restart their relationship in BOO. When I read that they broke up, I was upset because the reasoning contradicted what happened in BOO, and Rick didn’t show us (the readers) why it didn’t work out during that time skip. And Piper moving on so fast after Jason’s death left a bad taste in my mouth. It was shown before Jason’s death that the two still had feelings for each other after the breakup. The timeline from Jason’s death to the end of the TOA series was around 2-3 months, which seems a bit short for someone to move on after their first love died. Maybe Piper’s girlfriend is a rebound but I’m still meh with Piper moving on at that time. Also note that I’m not upset about Piper having a girlfriend. I’m a part of the community and am all in for representation.

Jason not reuniting with Leo was so bad. He deserved to see him again as much as Piper. Coach Hedge assuming Jason broke up with Piper and being mad at him was so disrespectful. A big part of Hedge is him caring about the Lost Hero trio and it was disregarded because of drama. I consider TOA worse than HOO and non-canon. Honestly, the series made me not care about the new releases for the series. I’m only interested in the Nico story because he’s at least well-written and justice for Bob.

I’m thinking of writing an essay on how I would rewrite Jason’s character and development but it would take a while and I don’t have the time.

So, this is such a missed opportunity for the Hermes kids.

Monster Insurance: Insurance against monster attacks and payout for death b/c of one.

Aka Life Insurance for Demigods

Connor and Travis would totally run a company like this.

Okay, I was scrolling through tik tok and found something really interesting (the user is @.xqzcvi)

The post got me thinking of the Di Angelo’s.

‘I can’t love you any more’

(Nico Di Angelo, the younger brother who finally understands all his sister’s sacrifices and how much she has helped him)

‘I can’t love you anymore’

(Bianca Di Angelo, the older sister who after years spent dedicating herself to her little brother wants to live her life and think about herself)

And this makes so much sense to me. Many people judge Bianca’s decision for leaving Nico, and even though it was half wrong, she was just a kid. A kid that was tired of being the big sister, the adult, the older one, the responsible. She was a kid, and maybe she didn’t want to be just a sister.

Maybe she just wanted to be Bianca Di Angelo.

Her decision of joining the hunters was to finally live her own life, and not taking care of Nico all the time. She trusted the camp, and trusted Percy over all to care for Nico, as she knew he would be in capable hands.

Bianca loved Nico. But he isn’t everything to her. And that isn’t bad.

Its Canon. I've decided it's Canon so therefore it is. /j

headcanon that grover and percy are just completely incapable of arguing. might as well be canon too, cause like everytime in the books there's some conflict, it just goes like this:

percy: *narrating* i am so annoyed at grover. i am literally shaking with anger right now. I don't wanna talk to him 😠

grover: *sad brown eyes* sorry, percy 🥺

percy: .....

percy: what are you SAYING, it's all MY fault for getting mad 🥺 what is WRONG with me i'm so stupid please give me a hug 😭 you did nothing wrong ❤️

actually finished the pride drawing :D anyways pretty late but happy pride (again!)

Hot Take : The Heroes of Olympus might be Rick Riordan's worst written series, with the most interesting characters.

Compare this series with PJo. Though it was written in the first person, both the story and characters were three dimensional. I usually have a visual representation running in my head when I read books, and this series became my favorite because I was able to feel the emotions and plot like it was personal.

On the other hand, HoO was much more two dimensional when it came to the plot. Half of the time, most of my re-reads were just skipping to parts I liked.

The characters were the most interesting part in the story for me, and they too could have been much better.

I understand why Leo is a big favorite. The way Leo was written was top tier, and he would have been my favorite if I didn't get distracted by Piper Mclean, and Jason Grace.

Both characters have so much potential, and its that reason that drew me to them.

Piper Mclean was so much more to me, because she was strong and smart, and reliable, and someone the rest went to for comfort or strength. But she was also beautiful, the daughter of a goddess who usually sat in the sidelines watching the drama (that she usually started) unfold around her.

Piper Mclean wanted to take a stand.

Jason Grace was the golden child, the one who was handed the baton, and was told to be the child he should be, and he took it with no questions asked. He was hardworking, resilient, loyal, and he loved his friends so much that he died for them.

He was a hero, and it wasn't because of his father.

All the characters are so beautifully intricate and human, but the writing doesn't allow us to see it.

I don't know about you, but I'm going to love messing with the new fans the Percy Jackson show will bring.

My favourite thing ever is the fact that the Trials of Apollo chapter names are all Haikus

Experiencing writers block please give me prompts for a pjo, hoo, totk/botw/eow or Arcane fanfic (if you see this don't just like and repost please give me a prompt)

P.S No smut, furthest I'll go is a makeout or 2 but I can write fluff, angst or action. I write for literally any character, please just request something (might not be great at eow fanfics cus I only got it yesterday and I'm stuck on the fight with Jabu Jabu)

I don't remember who it was but someone said they wanted Jack Black as Blackjack

"we're gonna get to see the underwater kiss" "we're gonna get to see silena and clarisse" "we're gonna get to see baby nico" you guys are all wrong. we're gonna get to see walker scobell as percy motherfucking jackson talking to fucking horses. will they poorly cgi the mouths to move? will they start talking in his head? will the voices be silly or perhaps recognizable celebrities? who knows. but i feel like we've all forgotten the talking horses and honestly it's a crime because THATS what im most excited to see on the big screen

He is my gender.

Some silly Nico doodles for my soul.

Did we also not remember that he shrugged of the stick burning up!

Like he shrugged off his life force being burnt! WHO THE FUCK ELSE HAS EVER DONE THAT!?

He is the physical embodiment of the word Beast!

Cleared a city of enemies, BY HIMSELF!

Wrecked house and home time and again and to top it of walked of having his life burn like Captain Underpants.

What a man.

theres lots of underrated and underestimated characters in pjo but absolutely no one does it like Frank Zhang. My man is descended from not one, but two major gods, was so good at archery that he was convinced he was descended from another god, can LITERALLY turn into ANIMALS, went from Probatio to Praetor in less than 2 months, and had his life force tied to a peice of wood because he was deemed too powerful by a literal GODDESS. if frank isn't your favorite or most interesting character that makes sense, everyone has their favorites, but I'm sick of people acting like he's not one of, if not the, most powerful demigods in the series

If rick's not a pussy he'll make percy kill a god in the next book

btw if if I get any type of racist comments on this or complaints abt "blackwashing" you can smd 😊, I'm not fighting with yall over headcanons alright

I'm going to scream it keeps taking off tags when I post

Hahaha again!! Part 3

Hera, Queen of the Gods, Goddess of Marriage, Goddess of Women, and Thief of Godly Children

Hera decides that if she cannot birth any demigod children, she will simply take them. After the Lighting Thief and seeing that so many demigod children are unclaimed, she decides that if she cannot have them herself then she shall claim them. None will challenge the Queen of Gods' claim after all. She decides to just claim all of the unclaimed children. A child stays unclaimed for more than a day? They're Hera's children now. Oh, an obviously Apollo kid shows up? Hera's now.

ever since 2019 when the pjo show was rumored, people have been saying “the second i hear the percy actor say ‘look, i didn’t want to be a half blood’ i’m going to lose my mind”. that moment is now kids and i am doing exactly that

so: imagine percy being a regular at a diner, right?

and he goes there enough times that they even put a "blue" option on the menu, right?

and then, slowly but surely, more demigods start going there separately, right?

so the diner employees just collectively calls them, "the regulars," because they all this weird, cryptid-like aura to them, right?

but then, one day, they all show up at once with varying amounts of injuries, and the diner employees are just like what the f—

What are you even supposed to do after thinking about how the two women most important to Percy are paralleled to medusa. This was painstakingly deliberate. What do you do then

Everything else aside, you know what else is fucked up? How Athena let ECHIDNA, the literal MOTHER of all monsters and the freakin CHIMERA into her "temple". And for what? Annabeth "embarrassed" her??? By letting her demigod quest companion do what he wanted with HIS battle ruins??? AND SHE KNEW THERE WERE CIVILIANS???????

I am having such a hard time picturing me wanting to take the Gods' side in season 5. I just don't see it happening.

Sally fucking Jackson😭🤌🏻

this post goes out to sally fucking jackson

the woman who stayed in an abusive relationship for years to keep her son safe.

the woman who survived a minotaur attack and the underworld.

the woman who ate a primarily blue diet out of pure spite.

the woman who turned her abusive husband into a statue and sold him for a fortune.

the woman who was offered, by poseidon, a palace under the sea if she wished.

the woman who picked up a shotgun from a police car, used it against a laistrygonian giant, and when asked when she learned how to use it, responded “just now”.

a woman who, without notice, was met by a newly-human god and his twelve year old master and, without batting an eye, offered them food and clothing.

a woman who is a mother above all mothers.

i love sally jackson.

patiently waiting for the day everyone realizes jason is not white. that’s not a white man with blond hair that’s a black man with dreads

i think it would be cool if in the pjotv when we are introduced to aphrodite before we know it’s her she is played by someone that kinda looks like annabeth (because it’s in percy pov and aphrodite would look like the most beautiful to him.) But after we learn it’s her everytime the camera turn away and come back to her she’s a different person

Reyna: I’m ok with dying, not failing

Fck your zodiac sign which Percy Jackson characters do you relate to?
