I'm still so absolutely confused about how the hell to RP or to find someone to RP.

(Ps. I did look at some sites or something, but I'm still lost and connected.)

((Pss. I'm probably just really stupid, lol.))

How do you find people to roleplay with?????? Better yet, talk with I need friends, lol 😭

Why is NICO considered the 'crazy, insane' son of Hades? he was born in the1930s to a rich family, HE IS GOING TO HAVE MANNERS.

Will 'i went to tartaraus in my cargo shorts' fucking solace on the other hand, for one, he was raised in TEXAS with a country singer mom on the road, he's probably been to ATLEAST 20 different bars, that guy should Is deranged.

change my mind, i dare you

Hi! I know this might not be helpful, but maybe you could try looking for fics where he's talked about in the summary and is more than just mentioned in the tags?

Sorry if this isn't helpful 😅 but I understand how hard it is to find a good Jason centric fics.

So I know I have like 10 followers but I am trying to build out a backstory for Jason and I'm struggling a bit / need ideas. AO3 filters aren't being super helpful (almost all of the fics I'm finding are about the 7 and many don't even have him in them yet). If you have them, I'd appreciate it if you'd comment your favorite Jason fics, especially deep dives on his characterization and backstory. Head canon posts work too!

Obviously not going to steal or plagiarize but reading similar fics always helps me get new ideas!

To the people saying "Jason wouldn't have jumped into tartarus for Piper, like Percy did for Annabeth" Jason, plunged into the sky from the grand canyon to catch Piper in the first few pages of the lost hero without even knowing who she was, and without the knowledge that he could fly. so he basically jumped to his death attempting to catch her. In the first few pages of his journey, he didn't mind dying to save Piper, and ironically, that's also what he did in the last few pages of his journey. Y'all just be saying anything when it comes to Jason.

An in depth analysis on Jiper - Why it was much more toxic than we realize.

okay. I know Calypso is known for her horrible treatment of leo, but hear me out, Jason grace was in a toxic relationship without even realizing it. I've recently reread Hoo, and I can't believe that it only just struck me how much of a red flag Piper was in the relationship. I made a whole analysis on this, and I'm going to put it here.

If you are a fan of jiper or Piper Mclean in general, then, this might be triggering for you to read, so I recommend you not to. You can agree to disagree with my analysis, just be respectful about it. I don't dislike Piper, I just dislike the way she is written, so no harm intended on her character.

so let's begin.

♦ She obsesses over him for a long time and then complains that he doesn't give her attention, like mf, he's trying to save the world here. She compares their relationship to percabeth wishing jason wasn't so serious all the time, when she was the one who claimed she liked his rule following nature and chose to date him. Before she got him, she complained that he would never like her, after she got him, she complained that he is too uptight.

Like, him being a rule follower is a part of his personality, take it, or leave it. She really doesn't like him for who he is and seemed very intent on wanting to change his morals. Like wanting his to trash the rules for her, she puts unrealistic expectations on him and gets disappointed when he doesn't meet them.

This highly contrasts Jason's treatment of her, when she vocalises her jealousy of Reyna being so "pretty, powerful and Roman" and jason says that he only wants Piper to be Piper, not anything else. Jason knew better than anyone else what is was like to pretend to be someone he's not.

♦she claimed jason as some kind of prize to drew, I physically cringed when the other Aphrodite kids cheered for her when she when she said jason was her boyfriend and he just didn't know it. Like. Jason said it himself, to Hera, "I belong to no one". If only he'd heard what she said about him behind his back lol.

♦She guilt tripped him so hard till the point he promised her that he would never go to camp Jupiter unless she came along, that's like the biggest red flag ever… Camp Jupiter was like his only home, his sister is busy, his mom is dead, and he wasn't even supposed to go there?

♦she got jealous of Reyna, annabeth and Thalia without any context, simply because they are acquainted with him in some way. Even after all the war chaos, jason reassured her patiently like twice that he only had eyes for her. She got jealous when he spoke about camp Jupiter, is he not allowed to talk about his home, the place he's grown up in for 12 years? She controlled jason like a puppet and took advantage of the fact that jason is very passive and had abandonment issues. If you read into their dynamic, Jason was in an unhealthy relationship without even realising it, because he clung on to anyone who gave him affection, it's honestly sad. He hadn't thought that anything was wrong in their dynamic because of his sheltered upbringing in camp Jupiter and lack of experience in love. His sister was lost for years, his dad is a douche, his mom is dead, so you really cannot blame him for not wanting to leave Piper.

♦ Also, in TOA, she was absolutely despicable, We see that jason is still very confused about why she broke up with him, and didn't properly understand why she dumped him bc he thought that they were still going strong, so we can get the hint that piper never exactly gave him a proper reason or anything and just ended it abruptly. Despite all this, he still respected her choice without any resentment against her, and chose to die so she could have more time with her dad. Fucking thoughtful and selfless.

♦ She doesn't voice out her concerns on their relationship to jason. Only the jealousy thing, but other than that she never seemed to tell jason about her issues she has with their dynamic, jason is more of a blunt kinda guy, so her lack of proper communication really hinders their dynamic in many ways, this is clearly seen in the fact that jason was deluded into thinking that their relationship was going great.

♦ She was also quite cold about their breakup, when Grover asked her why, she said stuff like "you thought what? That we'd be together forever like Percy and annabeth?" Like that's so cold and for what reason?? She ended stuff with him, and was acting like she got dumped.

[Take this single paragraph below with a grain of salt, since this one can only be derived out of assumptions, since it wasnt really confirmed properly, as there seemed to be a LOT going on]

♦ coach hedge and mellie thought he dumped her, so it can be implied that she might have dramatized the break up, if that is true, then she practically victimized herself in front of them. She drew so much attention to herself after the breakup, but then gets all cold when people ask her about it. Leading everyone to dislike jason for the breakup. If she did indeed tell mellie and hedge an aggravated version of their break up, then you can't tell me she did all that "unintentionally". I may sound harsh here but it seemed to me that she just wanted sympathy and attention, it's not all surprising either, considering how she chopped her hair off so that her dad can pay attention to her. So we can see a pattern here, she does go to great lengths to gain everyone's sympathy. I honestly don't know if she does it subconsciously or not. But take this paragraph with a grain of salt, since we dont actually know what she told hedge and mellie, so only strong assumptions can be made.

♦ Mellie treated jason which such hostility that even self absorbed Apollo could take the time to notice it. Jason asked apollo if piper told him that he dumped her or something, so even jason sensed that people were blaming him. he didn't even complain about it either. on the contrary, he literally said it was okay if mellie blamed him and that it was better that way.

”One more thing,” I blurted out. “About Piper. It’s just…you seem like such a good power couple. Did you really—did you break up with her to make it easier for her to leave LA?” Jason stared at me with those azure eyes. “Did she tell you that?” “No,” I admitted. “But Mellie seemed, ah, upset with you.”Jason considered. “I’m okay with Mellie blaming me. It’s probably better.”“Do you mean it’s not true?” In Jason’s eyes, I saw just a hint of desolation—like wildfire smoke momentarily obliterating a blue sky. I remembered Medea’s words: The truth was enough to break Jason Grace.“Piper ended it,” he said quietly. “That was months ago, way before the Burning Maze. Now come on. Let’s go find Caligula.” ‘ ~The Burning Maze, Chapter 23 Last Page

♦ Don't even get me started on how she found someone else weeks after her ex boyfriend whom she was with for a year died for HER. I'm sorry, but I couldn't even think of dating someone else for a long time if I were in her position. It's canon that literally even annabeth cried herself sick when she heard about his death and they weren't even close, and Percy couldn't even mention jason without breaking down, Percy and jason barely knew much about eachother. Heck, even hera, a literal goddess who only saw jason as a pawn, started sobbing at his death. So compared to those, piper literally had the reaction of a stale bread. I'd expected her to react in a similar way to nico, just genuine devastation and anger. Now she is using someone else as a rebound when she isn't even emotionally healed?

Connecting all of these points, it's such a shame how jason got taken advantage of for his passive nature. It dawned on me how jason was SO trapped in the relationship with only Piper as the centre of his world. I know Piper was just a teenager herself, but that doesn't make me feel any better about her treatment of him tbh, she's also seemed to have lots of internal misogyny, bringing down the other girls for ogling at jason as if she weren't the one who did the same like 5 minutes ago. Any thoughts? Rick really fumbled the bag with Piper imo, especially in the trials of Apollo.

Happy Solar Eclipse Day!

Artemis and Apollo seemed rather fitting :)

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

It's been that long!?

I was having a good day until I realized how much objectifying Jason was subjected to, So many people just saw him as an object.

He was literally like placed like a historical artifact at Camp Jupiter because of his dad, everyone there only saw him as a legend, not as a person with real feelings. Camp Jupiter was all worshippy with him while he was there but was quick to turn on him after he disappeared, thinking he was dead and didn't even hold a funeral or anything, just moved on with zero thought of him and replaced him like he was some kind of statue.

Even Percy felt bad for staying at Jason's praetor room because he felt terrible for taking Jason's place just like that. So you just know how nonchalant people where when it came to Jason's disappearance. Nobody spoke of him fondly, no one bothered about Jason's wellbeing, To them, he was simply a chess piece that helped them succeed but they didn't care about his fate as long as they got a better replacement.

Please don't get me started on how Piper "claimed" Jason to drew without his knowledge like he was a prize or something. ("Stay away from Jason Grace, he's mine he just doesn't know it yet" Piper honey wtf was that 😭) only to dump him and be SO outwardly bitchy and hostile acting like she got dumped or something, post break up after he was fully in love with her. (Which is something she ironically said she would never do because, as she put it, she was "much different" than other Aphrodite girls) she ended up being more of a heartbreaker than drew herself.

Jason was also, as hazel put it, considered as Hera's pawn to stop gaia's plan.

Zeus didn't care about his death, because to him, Jason is simply one of the many children he has. He doesn't care of he loses one because he has plenty of other sons and daughters to carry his legacy.

Poor jason was just discarded like scrap after his purpose was fulfilled.

[potatoetree]

True.

"that ship isn't canon! that character isn't gay!" well thats not what the voices told me

[potatoetree]

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.

“how is annabeth head of athena cabin” have you ever met an autistic 12 year old girl. she’s running that shit like the navy

[potatoetree]

the fact that people don't like Jason Grace PAINS me.

like you clearly just don't understand how complex his character is. of course he's not going to have the most interesting personality, his memory was wiped?? your personality is a compilation of all the things they've experienced and all the people you've met, if he forgets everything, how is he supposed to be really interesting?? and let's not forget that he was raised to be a soldier and a leader from 2 years old, giving him no chance to choose who he would be. the parts of Percy that we could recognise when he lost his memory, are the integral parts of who he is, such as being sarcastic, and loving annabeth - it's the same with jason. we see his need to do what's right whilst still following the rules, we see the almost artificial perfectness he's been conditioned into, we see his deep kindness and loyalty to those he loves, we see his trust in others through him believing what piper and Leo tell him despite having no memory of any of it.

we're told that he has self-confidence issues, and that he feels as though everyone thinks so highly of him and he struggles under the weight of that, he was abandoned by his mum, lost his sister, was raised a machine. he's just as complex as your favourites yet he gets so much hate.

he is such a tragic character and it hurts me that people don't understand how beautiful he is.
