guys do you know how absolutely cracked the british!Grace siblings dynamic is... punk british Thalia who is so anti establishment bc look at the fucking monarchy and the british empire.... BLACK JASON GRACE, SON OF THE KING OF GODS, GRAPPLING WITH THE HISTORY OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, THE BRITISH EMPIRE, AND THE EMPIRE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. the implications... and yet they're just kids who want to fit in... the family story, yall, fucking ouch.

#black jason grace whose father was worshipped in the roman empire; and yet greek&roman history has been whitewashed to oblivion #black jason grace whose father is a king but who is acutely aware of how the mortal kings of these empires treated his ancestors #black jason grace who is haunted by how empires perpetuate themselves by manipulating citizens like himself #his intimate understanding of how new rome repeats the mistakes of the past will haunt me forever #but his hope in knowing that the roman empire had fallen once and the british and US american empires will lose strength one day...#I think thalia planted a seed or two there also. I love them #thalia grace #jason grace #tamara smart #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #heroes of olympus
