ILL FL (The League That Started It All)🏈🏉

Welcome back to the NFL. A New Season in the works had the co commish (yours truly) contemplating on the wonky week 1 season opener. I'll be doing recaps on actual NFL teams this time around as a change up. Indulge me on my soap box.

But first, the week 1 ranks:

Before we begin, a shout to Carla as the new ILL-FL 🏆 Champions. She cleaned up with the gold ✨️ at the draft. Lets see if she repeats or a new champ is in the works....

The commish is leading the league in first followed by his Co commish Johnny.

Cohorts Slick and Demetri round up the 3 and 4 spots while Delmar & Matt fill in the wildcard 5th and 6th slots.

Engaged couple of Jermaine/Carla are 6&7 and friendly rivals Oliver/Laura join them in the 0-1 ranks.

Going to do something new only for this week and break down the NFL teams...

Onto the NFL Team recaps:

New York Giants

The Gmen are in dire need of help. Daboll is great but the team just needs sure fire players. Not sure if they came out flat in primetime but Danny and Company were under duress the entire game. WRs are hurt but Barkley was healthy. Maybe the O-line? Not sure how to pinpoint blame here unless it's the team overall. WRs are not a fantasy factor and Danny Dimes was the low key sneak pick teams were banking on. That doesn't seem to be the reality. Addition of Waller should move the needle ...unless he is hurt.... again. Might be a bump in the road or a long season 4 the Giants.

Cincinnati Bengals

What happened in week 1? Burrow got his money. Mixon still the starter. Chase is the top flight WR that many say will jump Jefferson. The defense is better than what they played. Burrows 82 yards is attributed to his preseason injury or the Defensive scheme of the Browns knowing tendencies and attacking? Burrow is still a sure fire QB fantasy beyond along with Chase. Higgins will get his (zero points fml). Mixon has a rookie behind him. McPherson is a good kicker. This team is set. They just need to reset and get right for the NFL season. I expect a get back game against the Ravens who they traditionally do well against in recent years.

Jason Grace and The Dii Consentes

Book 1: The Son of Lightning

Jason didn't have a lot to his name but the clothes on his back and a tattoo he never understood. He knew he was Roman, unapologetically so, and he would do anything to defend his home and fight. But first step? Joining the Legion. Preferably without getting stabbed by Octavian or falling off cliffs for a mystery girl.

→ Jason grows up as an orphan under the care of the Vestal Virgins 🧒🏼 He doesn't meet many other demigods until he hits SPQR. Because of his age, he trained alone one-on-one with various people, but never was with the other kids. When he hits about 12, he has to go through Wolf House before entering SPQR with the others

→ Before he enters SPQR, he goes through Wolf House for a few weeks with the other hopeful legionnaires 🐺 Here he meets Octavian and a few other minor characters (Consider this like Percy meeting Annabeth, but also Clarisse/Katie/The Stolls). Octavian sees Jason's tattoo and scowls (this is because he's jealous but Jason doesn't realize this and covers his arm up). They hate each other but use each other to succeed ahead of the others (both are too arrogant). It's essentially survival camp but people probably die. Jason thinks about what he remembers of his time under Lupa, but never verbally mentions it

“You look stupid. Stupid and useless.” Octavian sneered. He dug his knife against the tree. I winced, hearing the scraping noises as he carved his name into the bark. He grinned wickedly at the sight of the scratchily clawed OCTAVIAN. 

“I’m smart enough to not leave a trace of where I am.” I told him. His mouth flapped open for a second, and he screwed his jaw shut, lips pulling together in a thin line. 

Octavian brushed off his knife and pushed past me. “Keep moving, Bar-code.”

→ They make it out obviously ⚔️ Their next step before getting placed is some war game outside of the SPQR walls and into the mountains. It is here that Jason stumbles into Reyna.

She was dripping with whatever was in the murky river. The girl was about my age, long black hair and dark penetrating eyes. She wore one of the centurion helmets made for someone with a head twice as big, no doubt found abandoned with its giant dent and streaks of dried blood. Big slimy chunks of green mucus latched to her skin and clothes.

“Uh,” I said, still holding my nose. “Hi. You fell in the river.”

She cursed, loudly, and began to run off in the opposite direction. I heard Bryce’s victory whoop from beyond the trees, and against my best judgement, grabbed my sword and sprinted after the mystery girl.

→ They become fast friends and win the game together 🏆 Jason is surprised that she's not a demigod (she is, he's just 12 and dumb), and tells her to join the legion. Octavian swoops in just to be annoying saying it's not that easy. Reyna scowls and says "Watch me." In the excitement of winning the game, Jason loses sight of her.

→ Before their placing into cohorts, Octavian tells Jason that he's useless and doesn't have a family so he's going to the 5th cohort anyway 👪(Octavian has a long ancestry in 1st cohort and as officials). To both their surprise, Jason is placed in first cohort with him. Jason asks the current praetor why. It's pretty obvious, but it's the first time Jason is told explicitly that he's a son of Jupiter. In the feast afterwards, Jason looks for Reyna but she isn't there.

I stumbled up onto the podium. The Roman legionnaires stared back, blank-faced, silenced by the shouting Augur. Despite her best tries, a low murmur rippled through the crowd.

I clenched my teeth, thinking about what Octavian said. You're a no one. You have no family and no home- as if they'll accept you. I could hear his snide laughter. Scanning the crowd, I searched for someone familiar, someone I knew. The Vestal Virgins weren't in sight- they weren't allowed here and that made my fists clench- but then I saw Gwen. She smiled from over the helmets and spears. 

She was in the fifth cohort. I wanted to be in a cohort with someone like her. Then the crowd exploded with noise, and I realized I missed the announcement. I didn’t need to ask- Octavian’s reddening glare and sputtering said enough. 

Gwen stayed smiling. 

→ Jason and Octavian make a pact together when they get branded 🤝 Something about being rivals and they're not going to lose to each other. Then Jason gets another bar added and Octavian gets his tattoo. He looks ticked that Jason already had his, but is proud of his new tattoo anyway

→ A few weeks later, Jason stumbles out of bed into another "new recruit" ceremony 🗡️ There's a girl on the stage. It's Reyna. He yells that he would vouch for her, and Octavian calls him stupid because Jason's on probation. The legionnaire wearily accepts Reyna, and the three of them are now in first cohort together.

“It’s you,” I grabbed her hand. “Reyna, you’re here. You’re a demigod.”

“And?” Reyna snatched her hand back, folding her arms. She was still glowing from the feast, her hair covered with one of the faun’s confetti. On her forearm was a single thick black line underneath a crossed sword and torch. Bellona, I thought. A war goddess. That fit her. Reyna was strong and strategic.

I grinned at her. “We’re in the same cohort. So we’re teammates- again. But this time with less sewage and slime monsters.”

She blinked at me. Then broke out into a laugh. “Can you show me around? Octavian offered but I think he was trying to get me alone to kill me.”

“He does that a lot.” 

“I can tell.”

Now, Jason has bare memories of Lupa and a glimpse of Thalia. Following the journey of three years in five books like PJO, the Roman Trio are around 12/13 years old. Ultimately, there is still the Titan War in the last book, but the focus is little on the actual Titans and what leads up to it. 

While Percy and Annabeth had Luke, Jason’s in the Annabeth position in which he’s being betrayed by family- in this case, this is the Roman Senate. It in incredibly frustrating because of the secrecy and abandonment that the government had, and Jason/Reyna gets tired of the fact that they are just kids in a war camp

The Roman Trio’s struggle would be Reyna who despises the Senate and has no ties to SPQR, Octavian who has a long ancestry in power and strives to become praetor instead of Augur like expected of him, and Jason who grows up under the care and tutelage of the Senate but is treated as a trophy rather than a child. By the fourth book, the Senate topples because of the lies, but this leaves the Romans in an uncertain state of reform by the fifth book as the titans rise. The Roman Trio get thrust to the front of the battle, and take their place, despite hating it because it’s what they fought against (at least for Reyna and Jason- Octavian’s just pissed that Jason was praetor instead). A new senate rises and nothing really changes, and Jason disappears when Reyna needs him most. In his absence, things settle and everything goes back to how it was, and when Jason returns in Mark of Athena, he hardly remembers what happened. 

🤔 with the Roman trio, there's also the morals dynamic brought up much more than in PJO. Jason is strict on what is good and bad in the beginning, while Reyna questions it constantly ("Who is the one who created the rules?"). Octavian has his values rooted in the Senate as well, but unlike Jason, he hardly falters in his beliefs (the rare moments he does, is a split decision to trust the other two over the laws). Jason's disposition on morals changes almost entirely through out the series. Secondly, Octavian is suspicious but he's not really a villain. Just a dick 💀💀💀 he's 13 so idk what u want me to say

Some things do change though. Like the process to joining the Legion is different from what Percy goes through. Little things, but they happen 🤔

--- Anyway, since SoL is an intro book, it doesn’t have much substance but introduces topics. I’m a huge fan of the (found) family concept going on with PJO, and this would be great in between this and HoO. Reyna and Octavian’s backstories get explained through out the books I guess. Ngl, it would be very cool to end the final book with a mention of Hazel and Nico. 💑 As for romance... I don’t care cause valgrace wins in the end... PJO wasn’t ever about romance, but it’s probably there. I'm not picky.

The Other Books: The Missing Vestal // The Games of War // The Witch's Wrath // The Fall of Rome

(hyperlinks to be added when i do them 😩)

*things to note: 1. i changed octavian to being only a year older than the jason and reyna, rather than two years. 2. i have no clue what spqr does like... at all 3. jason gets knocked to fifth cohort in book 2/3 so it’s still accurate to book and his inevitable hubris as a son of jupiter gets checked 4. there's probably some julius ceasar arc going on but idk i'm too dumb to think of it rn
