Jason Grace Deserved Better

*This is just my opinion. I don’t care if you like TOA

Like most fans, I at first didn’t like Jason too much. Compared to most of the main characters, Jason seemed pretty bland. However, after rereading the books and analyzing Jason’s character, I realized how interesting he is. All his life, Jason has always been the “golden boy” leader type without really exploring himself. After the HOO series though, Jason started exploring more of himself beyond people’s expectations. When I learned about him appearing in the TOA series, I was expecting more exploration and growth for Jason, but it was ignored and he was killed off. This made me very upset.

Jason had a mission to commemorate every god (Greek or Roman) and live his own life. It would’ve been great representation for people who have trouble with their identity. If Rick wanted to add something tragic to Jason’s story then he could’ve done something else. Or he could’ve prolonged his death after doing at least a bit of Jason’s development.

With his relationship with Piper, I didn’t care much for the romance in HOO but felt it was getting better when they both agreed to restart their relationship in BOO. When I read that they broke up, I was upset because the reasoning contradicted what happened in BOO, and Rick didn’t show us (the readers) why it didn’t work out during that time skip. And Piper moving on so fast after Jason’s death left a bad taste in my mouth. It was shown before Jason’s death that the two still had feelings for each other after the breakup. The timeline from Jason’s death to the end of the TOA series was around 2-3 months, which seems a bit short for someone to move on after their first love died. Maybe Piper’s girlfriend is a rebound but I’m still meh with Piper moving on at that time. Also note that I’m not upset about Piper having a girlfriend. I’m a part of the community and am all in for representation.

Jason not reuniting with Leo was so bad. He deserved to see him again as much as Piper. Coach Hedge assuming Jason broke up with Piper and being mad at him was so disrespectful. A big part of Hedge is him caring about the Lost Hero trio and it was disregarded because of drama. I consider TOA worse than HOO and non-canon. Honestly, the series made me not care about the new releases for the series. I’m only interested in the Nico story because he’s at least well-written and justice for Bob.

I’m thinking of writing an essay on how I would rewrite Jason’s character and development but it would take a while and I don’t have the time.

Least Favorite of the Seven?

My least favorite member is Piper. She’s just kind of bland to me and TOA didn’t really put her into my good graces. My opinion on her was a rollercoaster. I liked her at first, then it went down, went up around the Mark of Athena, and then went really down in TOA. I am going to write a reason why Piper is my least favorite soon. 

Jason used to be my least favorite, but the last two books of the HOO series and the third book of TOA made me adore him. 

My Order of Most to Least Favorite:

1. Percy

2. Annabeth

3. Leo

4. Hazel

5. Jason

6. Frank

7. Piper

Comment your order. 

"She was awesome and cute, and Leo had a weakness for awesome and cute girls."

LEO I HAVE A WEAKNESS FOR YOU😭

Könnt ihr eine Gesetzmäßigkeit finden?

How about myself

leo’s hair is CURLY and his skin is NOT PALE and he only wore overalls ONCE

I will never forgive Viria for making everyone think that Leo's hair is straight/wavy (it's curly) and that he wears that atrocious outfit (he wore it 1 time).

Everytime someone give him straight hair an angel lost it's wing and at this point it's a mass murder

Its Canon. I've decided it's Canon so therefore it is. /j

headcanon that grover and percy are just completely incapable of arguing. might as well be canon too, cause like everytime in the books there's some conflict, it just goes like this:

percy: *narrating* i am so annoyed at grover. i am literally shaking with anger right now. I don't wanna talk to him 😠

grover: *sad brown eyes* sorry, percy 🥺

percy: .....

percy: what are you SAYING, it's all MY fault for getting mad 🥺 what is WRONG with me i'm so stupid please give me a hug 😭 you did nothing wrong ❤️

made these a couple days ago, felt inspired

I CANNOT BELIEVE I LOVE THE ROMANS AND STILL HAVENT DRAWN ROMAN APOLLO

he's his number 1 fan

based on smth @fearlessinger said on the toa discord <3

Someone should give me a fic with god Percy Jackson thanks

when is this?

I WANT JERCY WEEK

waiting for jercy week 2025 to be happy and post fanfic every day for a week about my beloved children

Percy: I don't believe in the gods. Annabeth: what now- Percy: oh! no. I know they exist. its just that I don't believe in their capabilities.

late, but happy birthday Percy Jackson! I was late celebrating Percy Day lol.

Nico strikes me as an age regressor, I feel like he’d be ashamed about it (even thought he shouldn’t be) so the few things that he’d have to help him regress would definitely be very subtle things. I bet one day Will would find out and then become his caregiver

Some Solangelo incorrect quotes because I’m getting obsessed

I’m currently reading Heroes of Olympus and I know the entire fandom sees Frank as this sweet guy, he is, he totally is but I feel like we’re forgetting about Tyson, the sweet cyclops who loves horses and is literally so pure

idk about the others but Percy is getting a happy meal with apple slices, apple juice and a kids toy and I know Nico isn’t one of the seven but he would also get a happy meal and he would probably pair it with a monster energy drink

What are the Heroes of Olympus ordering at McDonalds?

Hunter is transmasc, Nico is an age regessor and Eddie is a trans, gay man, my source: I made it up and you can’t change my mind

Fans when we get a pjo show: 🥰🥰🥰🥰😘

Fans when we get a Harry Potter show:

Ok but why is no one mentioning Jason in the new pjo book?

Like percy thinking about what Jason said during BOO and the fact that he's technically still alive during the books means a probable future cameo. Why the ull has the fandom just forgotten sparky? :(

Hot Take : The Heroes of Olympus might be Rick Riordan's worst written series, with the most interesting characters.

Compare this series with PJo. Though it was written in the first person, both the story and characters were three dimensional. I usually have a visual representation running in my head when I read books, and this series became my favorite because I was able to feel the emotions and plot like it was personal.

On the other hand, HoO was much more two dimensional when it came to the plot. Half of the time, most of my re-reads were just skipping to parts I liked.

The characters were the most interesting part in the story for me, and they too could have been much better.

I understand why Leo is a big favorite. The way Leo was written was top tier, and he would have been my favorite if I didn't get distracted by Piper Mclean, and Jason Grace.

Both characters have so much potential, and its that reason that drew me to them.

Piper Mclean was so much more to me, because she was strong and smart, and reliable, and someone the rest went to for comfort or strength. But she was also beautiful, the daughter of a goddess who usually sat in the sidelines watching the drama (that she usually started) unfold around her.

Piper Mclean wanted to take a stand.

Jason Grace was the golden child, the one who was handed the baton, and was told to be the child he should be, and he took it with no questions asked. He was hardworking, resilient, loyal, and he loved his friends so much that he died for them.

He was a hero, and it wasn't because of his father.

All the characters are so beautifully intricate and human, but the writing doesn't allow us to see it.

As much as I'm excited for a solo book on solangelo, I really wanted a book focusing on Piper and Jason after the war. I wanted to see them trying to find Leo, trying not to give up, the breaking point where Piper realized this entire relationship wasn't real, the break up, them still being friends and having to remind themselves that they were never dating, and it was all just a fever dream.

I wanted to see them going into that parking lot and being separated, that fear of losing another friend, I wanted to see Jason learning that one of them wasn't going to be around that long, his mindset, him deciding that he wouldn't let Piper die, them fighting outside, Piper knowing Jason was going to do something reckless, and them going their separate ways, because Piper can't bare another friend keeping a secret from her, because she still feels guilty over Leo, and inside she still feels as if the reason Leo didn't tell them the plan was because he didn't trust her, didn't trust them.

The story doesn't have a happy ending. Its a prequel, its everything that lead up to Jason's sacrifice. Piper and Jason were always a tragedy, and I feel like Rick could have expanded on that.

I can't believe people are still shitting on Piper Mclean and calling Piper powerless and shit like SHE COULD MAKE YOU KILL YOURSELF WHY ARE WE FORGETTING THAT?!?!?!

Rick Riordan really gave us a feral wolf boy and made him decent huh?

I think it’s a pretty solid consensus that Nico di Angelo needs to be given cookies and wrapped in a blanket. And, I thought, who better to comfort him than his big sister? This is a song for all their years surviving together, for his years alone, and for his (hopefully) coming years surrounded by friends. This is a lullaby from Bianca to Nico, her soldatino.

Notes: Lyrics under the cut, best with headphones. Piano is not my first instrument, and Italian is my third language, so please bear with me.

It bugs me when people say the HTTYD movies aren't that different from the books because the shows reference the books like all the time but that's stupid because if you put movie hiccup and book hiccup in camp half-blood they'd go in different cabins

I think one of my favourite details in the son of Neptune is the fact that oercy just carries a lighter with him
