#Jason grace my boy

[slices-of-naranja]

I desperately need to organize my thoughts but if I don’t get this out now I will forget it, so take some vague circular incoherent ramblings about Jason motherfucking Grace.

Jason Grace has this weird kind bluntness about him that I desperately need to study. He’s so normal in a fucked up way. Almost regular. Almost an Average Kid. Brutally honest and kind and pragmatic. He wakes up on a bus with no memory, holding hands with a girl, and he’s immediately like “What the fuck. Who are you people. Where am I. Who am I?” Doesn’t even try to play along to figure out what’s happening.

One of the first things he says to Leo is “You’re weird.” Just “You’re weird.”

Jason is judgy as fuck!! Like!! Such a judgmental motherfucker!!! “If Leo is his best friend, then his life is seriously messed up.” Like!!! What the fuck!!! Be nicer to the man you fall madly in love with!!!

He sees Mean Kid (monster) Dylan and immediately goes “fuck that dude.” (“Jason hated him instantly.”) He even mentally makes fun of the guy’s outfit!!! And he roasts the shit out of Dylan’s fucking shiny ass teeth!! He sees two girls being mean to Piper and he literally, despite not knowing where he is or why he’s there, tries to fight them!! And Leo is the only thing holding him back from immediately throwing hands!!

Mr. “I can’t even take Leo out for burgers bc he’ll set the restaurant on fire.” After the 1 (one) time Leo gets too excited and bursts into flame. (Leo not being able to control his powers as a consequence of finally starting to use them after years of repression is something i WILL be talking about another time)

Jason is a judgy, brutally honest bitch. Like, he’s kind and good natured and strong. But years of being raised by wolves, strict deadly Romans, and being praetor have made him a little bit harsh. Rough around the edges. Just a bit off. This is the dude who was like “hm. Yeah I know Nico’s ur boy but… world is ending. So.” He’s been raised to be pragmatic. Make snap judgements. Be harsh. Be deadly. Like, reading his PoV is so different from the fandom characterization.

Jason is wittier, snappier, and wayyy more regular teenage boyish than I thought. He just has that Roman Demigod Edge to him… the part of him that was trained to scream “MONSTERS! MIST! MAGIC! DANGER!!!” even when he had no memory. I need to study this boy so badly. He’s fucking fascinating.

Bc for all his judgement, he grows so quickly attached to people. Like, it doesn’t take long for him to be fiercely loyal to Piper and Leo and Camp Halfblood. I think that’s because they accepted and loved an imperfect him, and while Expectations were still there, expectations he’s been haunted by his whole life, they’re lesser. Bc Piper and Leo don’t know shit fuck about the mythical world. And the rest of the seven are just as strong and capable as Jason, so he has no need to lead. I don’t know. Jason Grace drives me crazy. Marching to his destiny like a good little soldier. No other options for a son of Jupiter. Have to be strongest, have to be praetor, have to lead a legion-

He loves Nico like a best friend. He adores and admires Leo’s wit and talent and smarts, something that is mentioned a lot in his POV. (While also pointing out Leo’s bullshit.) He envies and admires Percy’s strength. He loves Piper’s brashness and heart. He loves them all. I don’t know. He’s quick to judge but he’s even quicker to change his mind. I forgot where I was going with this. Jason Grace has always been a hero at heart and a soldier since age 4 and I think that’s why some people think he’s boring. He’s trained to be serious and stuff. We don’t get to see him goof around very much, except for with Leo, and Leo does most of the goofs. And I would love to know who Jason Grace, judgmental pragmatic kindhearted bitch, would be if he just got to be a regular teenager.

And I think that’s why he loved camp Halfblood. It gave him half a chance at being half normal. What’s one more big three kid? There’s no strict orders or rules to follow or shape him there. But unfortunately, Jason, hero at heart, soldier since age 4, trained to be selfless, trained to give everything up for the greater good, was never going to get a happy ending. Never get a chance at what Percy Jackson found. Being a demigod kills people. And Jason was one from birth, to his very core.

I think part of him would be relieved, at that. Knowing that Percy Jackson, hero with a happy ending, is someone he will never be. Never overcome or surpass. Yeah, it’s the exact reason they’re rivals, too similar to not be compared, yeah it hurts his pride and goes against everything he was raised to be, and yeah he’s had a few silent breakdowns over it, but there’s relief in knowing he’d never win. Being in Percy’s shadow at Camp Halfblood means he can be out of the spotlight. Die a hero’s death while knowing there is no other option. There’s peace in that.

Anyway New Rome represents heteronormativity and Camp Halfblood is Jason figuring out he’s gay. I will not take criticism.

Percy: why can’t we steal from the rich? We stole Jason from his camp?

Annabeth: we didn’t steal Jason, he’s free to do whatever he wants

Nico: we literally dragged him here?????

Gentle reminder that every time Jason Grace gave his offering to Jupiter, he prayed for his dad to help Nico. Just saying.

#My sweet empathetic boi. I genuinely got teary eyed when I read that. Like he CARES SO MUCH #Till the point where he doesn't even care if his dad doesn't offer him anything. he just wants Jupiter to help nico. #I luv him sm. I'd go as far as to say that Nico was the most genuine friendship Jason had. Bc it was built on pure understanding. #Nico is everyone's universal baby #including mine. #pjo #pjo fandom #pjo hoo #percy jackson #jason grace #pjo series #nico di angelo #hazel levesque #leo valdez #piper mclean

the fact that people don't like Jason Grace PAINS me.

like you clearly just don't understand how complex his character is. of course he's not going to have the most interesting personality, his memory was wiped?? your personality is a compilation of all the things they've experienced and all the people you've met, if he forgets everything, how is he supposed to be really interesting?? and let's not forget that he was raised to be a soldier and a leader from 2 years old, giving him no chance to choose who he would be. the parts of Percy that we could recognise when he lost his memory, are the integral parts of who he is, such as being sarcastic, and loving annabeth - it's the same with jason. we see his need to do what's right whilst still following the rules, we see the almost artificial perfectness he's been conditioned into, we see his deep kindness and loyalty to those he loves, we see his trust in others through him believing what piper and Leo tell him despite having no memory of any of it.

we're told that he has self-confidence issues, and that he feels as though everyone thinks so highly of him and he struggles under the weight of that, he was abandoned by his mum, lost his sister, was raised a machine. he's just as complex as your favourites yet he gets so much hate.

he is such a tragic character and it hurts me that people don't understand how beautiful he is.

Catching Up

Thalia: So what happened after Juno took you? Where did you go? Were you safe, happy?

Jason, uncomfortably brushing her off: Well, it’s a long story and kind of a bummer haha. You don’t wanna hear that right now.

Thalia, softly: Jason, I’ve waited thirteen years to hear your sad stories.

#this is kind of a bummer. but I love them getting the chance to do the whole sibling thing. not enough of it in canon. #and this boy NEEDS the opportunity to talk about his life to SOMEBODY. let the kid CONNECT to people ffs #pjo fandom #pjo verse #pjo hoo #jason grace #thalia grace #heroes of olympus #incorrect heroes of olympus #incorrect tlh quotes #incorrect pjo quotes #incorrect percy jackson #incorrect hoo quotes #percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo stuff #pjo text post #grace siblings #demidorks #sad demidorks #Thalia and Jason #Jason and Thalia #poor Jason #the lost hero #pjo tlh #thundersibs #this is going in a fic #Jason is my favourite #Jason grace needs a hug #jason grace deserved better

Percy (trying to make light of Jason’s horrible life): well…. At least all that suffering wasn’t for nothing. you have a killer college application story.

Jason: considering the fact I can’t actually leave Camp Jupiter without express permission, even getting kidnapped without my consent for me labelled a traitor within about an hour, the fact I have no skills of navigating the mortal world because I’ve been in the army since I was 3 so can’t really leave to go to uni and the fact that I’m pretty sure I’m blacklisted from the New Rome University since when I asked if I’d be eligible they laughed in my Face I don’t think I really need an application

Percy: GODS EVEN NAKING FUN OF YOUR LIFE LEADS TO MORE INSANITY WHAT IS THIS

i love valgrace with fell first vs fell harder, but i also love making it as angsty as possible.

leo fell first. he fell for jason the day they first met, both in the fake mist memories and during their actual first meeting. at first, he didn’t understand his feelings. during their quest together, when he finally did understand them, he pushed them aside and ignored them, knowing that he stood no chance with jason ‘straighter then a ruler’ grace. also, he knew piper had feelings for jason. if he ever had to choose between his happiness and piper’s, he’d choose her, all the time. so, he never confessed, hoping they’d go away and he could move on, ignoring how the feelings only grew and flourished over time. he figured that, maybe someday in the future, if things ended between piper and jason, then he’d take the opportunity to confess his feelings. if not, then he’d watch them be happy and move on himself. after all, they had enough time.

jason only realized he loved leo after leo died. it took leo’s death for him to unpack his memories and feelings for him, to realize what he truly meant to him, to realize that he’s felt that way for a while, he just didn’t let himself see it. he had to live with the fact that the right person for him was right in front of him, but he never saw it, and they were doomed to run out of time. even after finding out leo was alive after so many months, he never let himself hope, since he knew he would die soon.

then leo came back and found out jason died. he realized he couldn’t trick the fates and that, by coming back, he only doomed jason to die. he never truly had enough time with him, and he should have enjoyed it while he could. he realized that they’d been doomed from the start, he just never let himself see it.

Nah. the fact that Jason remembered getting picked up by his mom as a baby, and even remembered her telling him not to be afraid of thunder bc it's his dad's way of letting him know that he's loved, has me in SHAMBLES goodbye.
