happy birthday to the most overhated and misunderstood character in the entire riordanverse. jason grace you will ALWAYS be famous to me.

[amazing-jason-grace]

I’m a sucker for characters that get ruthlessly shat on by the fandom

[amazing-jason-grace]

Annabeth, tipsy: would you still love me if Hera turned me into a cow

Percy, thinking out loud: it’d probably be more convenient if you were turned into an animal I could talk to

Annabeth: *glares*

Percy, still oblivious: you’d make a really cute Catshark.

i like to think if annabeth and percy ended up living around mortals they would tell their friends abt some of the stuff they went through bc they can’t really hide it forever except they make it sound like their family’s part of the greek mafia

a lot of “yeah my dads…influential…in greece”

or “my moms,,pretty powerful in greece,, yeah she’s up there lol..anyway”

like they make it sound like maybe poseidon and athena are two “business CEO’s” who butt heads but everyone thinks their two mafia leaders who hate eachother

annabeth slips up and brings up the 7 months percy was missing and they have to cover it up saying his aunt, on his dads side, sent him away to a boarding school in greece where he wasn’t able to contact anyone here in america

“yeah we don’t really talk to her after..that..”

it doesn’t help that their friends can hear them hiss in greek to each other when they don’t want them to know what their saying

or when their stretching in a certain way that makes their shirt ride up and there are obvious scars hidden underneath

and it honestly all makes sense just going off the vibes of the two of them so no one really questions it because who would and anytime either of their parents appear shifted into their mortal counterparts everyone keeps their eyes downcast

dj khaled: anotha one

percy’s the kind of tiktok famous where someone else got tiktok famous and posted smth with him in it and suddenly he’s forced against his will to make a tiktok bc everyone wants to know who he is

[amazing-jason-grace]

there is something so devastating abt having the child who grew up surrounded by the idea of a future dying before he’s even 18 and the kid who grew up surrounded by people telling him not to even consider the future living BOOO TOMATOES TOMATOES BOOOO

[amazing-jason-grace]

Jason overshares to a wild degree not because of any conscious effort but because he just doesn’t know that half of his childhood stories were deeply horrific so just says them

[amazing-jason-grace]

i know im mostly a pjo blog but this show is actually crazy this was way too funny not to reblog

watching ML season 1: Chat Noir gets mind controlled so often it walks the line between repetitive and memetic. This is either lazy writing or a ploy to keep the show's focus on girl power.... Either way another whimsical entry in the unintentional children's show fridge horror category. watching ML season 5: Oh, The Catboy Is Mind Control Themed.

the case of jason grace’s powers

i was recently reminded of the fact that thalia grace doesn’t actually have to ask for her powers. thalia is freely using her lighting in battle, nobody controlling her power but her. which makes it all the more tragic that jason has to ask.

jason is seen praying to jupiter for strength and for lightning. there was at least one time i can remember where he asked and jupiter sent him nothing. poor boy was left to himself.

percy doesn’t ask poseidon, per “the sea does not like to be restrained”. nico and hazel don’t ask hades. literally nobody else asks. occasionally they’ll pray for extra help, but no other character has to literally ask their parent for one of their main abilities.

you could argue that this restraint is only placed on jason because jupiter is only worried about him, but that wouldn’t entirely make sense because thalia’s nature is much more rebellious than jason’s. she would naturally seem like more of a threat if you were to compare the two. there is definitely a physical restraint put on him from jupiter himself, but this is why i honestly believe that a lot of it is mental.

jason was brought up to be this perfect leader for the legion. the golden child on this beautiful pedestal for everyone to admire. he was always told what to do, what he could and could not. he could not act out. he could not rebel. he had to be the face of the legion and the hero they wanted. after 12 years of conditioning, this is the reality he had lived in for basically his whole life. throughout all of the heroes of olympus books, jason is trying to break free of this leader mentality and learn the importance of working with others on his level. if this is all he ever knew, whos to say that jason’s lightning wasn’t actually entirely controlled by jupiter? thalia’s sure isn’t.

but that’s not to say that thalia doesn’t raise an interesting point in this discussion. it was never said to be controlled by jupiter, but we know that thalia can’t fly like her brother. thalia can’t fly because she’s too scared to. she’s too scared to try. she’s scared of heights. jason is scared of jupiter. if he’s believed it to be a system this whole time, just like pretty much all the other aspects of life in the legion, he may think that he just straight up cannot do something because his father said no. thalia can use her lightning whenever, so why is it only jason that jupiter is supposedly concerned about?

what if it was the legion that was truly responsible for his limits this whole time?

lester and meg dynamic

[amazing-jason-grace]

Jason: Did I ever tell you about the time-

Thalia: stop right there.

Jason: why?

Thalia: whenever you say that phrase, I know that I’m about to hear the most horrific thing ever and I need to mentally steel myself.

Jason: I was just saying that when I was 5 I went for a swim in the river and it was really fun

Thalia: that was… surprisingly normal

Jason: and then I got caught and in trouble and got sewn into a sack of weasels and tossed into said river. Which is kinda extreme, because the normal punishment is bad but not that bad. One of the kids said they hope I drowned so I think the ye just wanted to kill me… lot of people really wanted me to die from ages 3 to like 7 to be honest

Thalia: and there it is AND ALSO WHAT??????

[amazing-jason-grace]

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?????

[amazing-jason-grace]

Estelle, curious: is stabbing someone immoral?

Jason: depends on the situation

Thalia: not at all

Percy: NO??

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.

can we have a moment of silence for both of THE percy jackson edits. the baby by me and not strong enough ones. both were muted in the great umg audio pulling on tiktok and both are currently safe in my camera roll. rip, you will be so dearly missed 🕊️
