it makes me really sad that like, canonically we don't really know what jason's personal hobbies or interests are (and if it's because i'm missing something please feel free to correct me). like he came in bursting in not knowing shit about himself, and we go along the ride and we learn what kind of person he is, and how he relates to other people and how he always tries to be upstanding and do the best thing and his hopes and dreams for the future. but his hopes and dreams for the future (integrating romans and greeks, advocating for change in the legion, becoming pontifex maximus and building temples and shrines to minor gods and goddesses around the country) are almost all about other people.

what does jason like? what's he doing on his off time for fun when he's not in school or doing activities in camp/legion? he and reyna used to talk a lot about diocletian because he's their favorite roman emperor. what stupid dumb thing does he like that's not related to trying to make the legion a better place? just stargazing and brownies?

hazel's a horse girl, leo has fun tinkering, frank likes geek shit, piper used to steal for attention and loves hearing cherokee stories, annabeth likes nerd shit, we know so much about percy already...what does Jason like????? lacrosse?? drawing? he's good at drawing but is it canon that he likes it?

it's just so sad that jason's whole arc was trying to find parts of himself that wasn't tied to his demigod identity of being jupiter's son and we never got to see him actually discovering mundane parts of himself that isn't tied to his duties and responsibilities.

edit: this is why i like jason being a little bit pathetic, because it strips away his perfect golden boy image, and lets him just be himself without the strappings of jupiter's son, praetor, peace maker between camps etc

thinking about how jason's death alone wasn't apollo's turning point in his arc about becoming better, but just jason himself. it was seeing jason being a person and not a hero and yet still choosing to sacrifice himself that made him care so much. he says he never particularly cared for jason aboard the argo ii, just another demigod, another hero to be sent off on a death quest if that was what the gods desired, and then goes on to say that jason in his school uniform is definitely worth noting. he never cares for jason until he sees jason being a normal person, being human. he sees this and then sees how casually jason talks about defending apollo to zeus in front of the council of the gods, how he says he should've tried harder, been better, like daring to defend apollo to his own father who is famously quite testy is just an everyday act of bravery and kindness, something he wouldn't question doing for a second. and if a mere mortal thinks of such a thing as an everyday act of kindness despite all the limitations his mortality places on him, then a god should do more, shouldn't they? if jason can be kind, apollo should be kinder.

I think people who call Jason boring are really misunderstanding his character. Yes he’s “perfect” on the outside but have you seen this man’s inner thoughts. Jason Grace is kissing chaos with tongue but you still think he’s a proper rule-lover.

jason was actually IN THE FUCKING LEGION as a three-year-old, judging by the lines in his spqr tattoo

which is insane, because, i mean, he was three

what does a three year old even do in the army??

like he can hardly go fight monsters or some shit

was he just like a mascot?

like "this is jason. we found him on the side of the road when he was three. now he's in the army. he's literally never gone to school but that's fine"

Percy to Grover: Nico is such a bratty asshole, he's so annoying, he lies, he betrayed me to Hades, he left me clueless at Camp Jupiter

Literally anyone else: Yeah honestly fuck Nico

Percy: Fuck you. Nico has never done anything wrong to anyone ever. And I will fuck you up if you say otherwise.

and what if apollo as a god made jason a tree himself after his death? and what if that tree had similar properties to thalia's tree and formed a magical barrier? and what if apollo put that tree in a place of worship? and what if that place of worship then became a sanctuary, a safe haven for demigods and gods alike? and what if jason became a figure in modern demigod myth, a protective spirit? and what if his mythologisation led to him being deified? and what if he was the god of worship, ritual, and safety? and what if he was the protector of demigods and heroes? what then?

Thinking about how soldier poet king applies to Percy Jason and Nico

Nico is arguably the soldier: “The Soldier is a person who sees everything as a fight. He feels destined for violence, driven by anger, and he walks into this world of conflict, partially by his own choice” - throughout the original and HoO, Nico is seen to be a character who holds a grudge, who holds in so much anger and resentment over what happened to his sister, to the point where she begs him to forgive, to let go and move on but he struggles with this. He then also holds anger over his feelings towards Percy, that although he blames her for Bianca, he also develops feelings for him so his whole arc which causes further torment, and he is driven by anger of all the wrongdoings towards him in his life. I know peopl would be like “uhhh ghost king? It’s in the name???” But just trust me. He is the solider.

Jason is the Poet: “The Poet is a more peaceful creature who sees the beauty and poetry of the world and uses the power of words and his sensitivity as a strength that others may underestimate. However, the quiet power of his character can change the world as much as an act of war.” Jason’s whole arc was that he was trained as a perfect Roman soldier since he was a baby. It makes perfect sense that he would be placed in the solider category. But this just isn’t Jason, and we see him fight this role.. Jason isn’t prone to violence, and we can see in his character that anger doesn’t drive him. Despite how he was trained, and how he should have been, Jason is seen as more of peaceful character compared to the other two. He wants peace, he wants to right the wrongdoings done towards the minor gods and goddesses - to the point that he decided his purpose was to recreate New Rome, to build shrines to these gods and goddesses so that they can get the respect and devotion they deserved. He wanted to leave the world a better place than the one he lived.

And Percy is the king: “The King is a person who feels the burden of being the one who has to manage and take accountability for the world. Duties are inevitable for him, and he feels he must take them on his shoulder and follow what the world expects.” I don’t even think I have to say much on this. Percy has felt the burden of the prophecy from the moment he arrived at camp. He didn’t tell anyone of Nico and Bianca’s parentage, because he didn’t want Nico to have any responsibility of the prophecy - time and time again, percy has taken the burden of helping the gods, helping the world. He carries the prophecies on his shoulder, and then CHB and CJ. This, and his fatal flaw being loyalty, percy being the king, and not the soldier makes absolute sense in my mind.

I’m so bad at words but I hope my reasoning makes sense with these three and yes I will be drawing this lol

“Will Solace doesn’t have a personality”

“Jason Grace doesn’t have a personality”

Full offense but some of you seem to think male characters only have a personality when they’re “sassy” and say a bunch of sarcastic one-liners and it shows
