#they could never make me hate you jason grace

[yeagerbitchh]

read a jercy hanahaki fic and was fine, then I read a jercy fic jason went to meet percy’s family and everyone immediately accepted him and he finally understood what it was to be loved by a family and now I’m fucking bawling my eyes out

[somewhereincairparavel]

i will never understand how people have the heart to hate Jason even after they found out that his Ambrosia tastes like fucking sawdust. Ambrosia being tasty is like one single happy thing a demigod can have despite their tragic lives, because it reminds them of the home they once had, but lost. And Jason doesn't even have that, he doesn't even have a home to lose in the first place.

[supine-ly]

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

[bookalicent]

yeah so this was insane

[rueisblue]

No one talks enough about the fact Jason was stabbed straight through the chest, like the sword went all the way through him and the wound started smoking, then it took multiple minutes I’m assuming to get him help and even then no one on that boat had any real medical experience, and then not even a few weeks later he dove into the ocean headfirst in the middle of a storm to help Percy with no real knowledge that he’d be able to 1. Breathe, and 2. Swim??? Like dude you are heavily injured, can not breathe under water, probably can’t move your arms without tugging at the HOLE ALL THE WAY THROUGH HIS CHEST CAVITY, and he STILL saved Percy’s life and had a heart to heart with him at the bottom of the ocean.

Get this guy a fucking award

Y’all want more complex characters but couldn’t even handle Jason Grace

[hermemescabin]

I think people often hate Jason for reasons they should feel sorry for him

you hate because he's too perfect? he lives with pressure of everyone's expectations that he'll be perfect.

He has no personality? he was raised a child soldier, a tool for the gods and wasn't allowed to be his own person. despite that he did develop a personality and hera took it from him.

we don't know anything about him? he doesn't know anything about him.

He's not Percy Jackson? he's all too aware of that.

“I’m the son of Jupiter! I’m a child of Rome, consul to demigods, praetor of the First Legion. I slew the Trojan sea monster, I toppled the black throne of Kronos, and destroyed the Titan Krios with my own hands. And now I’m going to destroy you, Porphyrion, and feed you to your own wolves.”

-Jason Grace, The Lost Hero

i personally can’t even fathom annabeth hate. and let me preface by saying you can have any opinion you want on her, i just can’t begin to understand it.

she is not a character who ever is seen as a possibly hateable or “you either love or hate them” character (such as rachel elizabeth dare or jason grace etc etc) she is the commonly known, well-loved, one of main protagonists, love interest who is smart and strong but still has understandable flaws. so while every character has at least one hater in the world because everyone has their own opinions, i truly was surprised to learn there is more than the average numbers haters for her. her type of character just isn’t normally excessively hated, and she is an incredible likable character and good person in general.

the good thing is the annabeth fans are so passionate that it makes up for it.

jason >>>>>>> Percy

fight me

[elioisrighthere]

“i don’t like jason” well i don’t like YOU so boom

[xixovart]

thinking about valgrace

and how much better it would’ve been for the characters and plot than lightning mclean (still love that ship name though). maybe even aroace leo/jason could’ve been amazing

i mean, what’s more impactful? a child of hephaestus with severe abandonment issues feeling like a 7th wheel and the author resolving it by giving him a girlfriend, or a daughter of aphrodite, the goddess of love and romance, being single and happy about it for an entire book series, later to overcome comphet and fall in love with a girl. maybe even a child of rome—jupiter, no less—learning to accept himself for his orientation and accepting that he doesn’t have to be perfect, and it’s ok to be happy and different from expectations.

“to storm or fire the world will fall” would’ve hit ten times harder. one of them would have to go, and there was nothing they could do about it. the tragedy? the suspense?

leo overcoming his need for acceptance because he found everythinf he wanted in one person. jason was the first to tell leo he mattered, in a positive context. and he meant it. he showed leo a side of himself that leo didn’t even know existed.

platonic valgrace is still amazing. aroace leo is incredible. valgrace could’ve been endgame

“jason, piper, and leo are boring/bad characters!”

listen. i’m gonna hold your face gently as i say this. jason, piper, and leo are good characters that were written poorly.

jason died before his character arc started and he lost his memory (and never got it back)

piper was written stereotypically and written as a pick-me girl

leo was also written stereotypically and written to be a womanizer

they are all great characters. rick just never used their full potential.

@via-pantomime behold :D thought you'd appreciate a ping

The Burning Maze HURT so bad, but honestly the tragic irony of Jason's character, the way he was raised to sacrifice everything and everyone in the name of the mission, in the name of the honor of the legion, but he died protecting the people he loved. He chose to protect and chose to leave behind a legacy which was nothing like what he'd been born into. He died into a world numb from sacrifice and made it better, made Apollo PROMISE to change.

He's Jason Grace. He's awesome. And he deserves the world. <3

Jason Grace died because Rick was lazy and didn’t feel like dealing with the questions of how Jason was supposed to continue his life when everything about his old life was ripped from his hands and smashed to pieces
