Leo would definitely create a bunch of stuff for Jason to show his affection. Rings, new glasses, watches, whatever. Acts of service is his love language, and Jason "biggest simp around" Grace would eat that shit up I'm telling you

I wish we got Jason being upset or jealous or something of Percy being closer to Thalia than he was. Annabeth too, tbh.

Like, can you imagine what that would have been like. Thalia is the ONLY family Jason really has. Camp Jupiter thinks of him as a soldier. His mom is dead and his dad is Zeus.

And he barely has any relationship with her!! He didn't even know she existed for most of his life and then they finally found each other but they had to split up after just a few hours and only saw each other a couple of times after that! Meanwhile Percy has gone on multiple quests with her and got to spend around a year with her and they were already pretty close at the start of TTC. Annabeth spent a year on the streets with her and also got to hang out with her pre-TTC to the point where Percy was competing with Thalia to be Annabeth's best friend (albeit one sided) And then there was Luke and Nico and the hunters of Artemis and even Reyna.

Just. Idk. Give me Jason wishing he could have that with Thalia.

I don’t know how Disney expects Percy Jackson fans to survive next season. We barely survived episode 5, and now you want us to watch our children go through even more heartbreak? You want me to just sit there as Percy holds Annabeth at the bottom of the ocean? You want me to stare at the screen as a 13-year-old girl sobs about how all she wants is to have something permanent in life? You better include a tissue set with that subscription.

I just think it's funny how Rick Riordan must have done SO MUCH research about different cultures and communities, doing his best to be respectful in his representations.

Yet couldn't be bothered to pull up Google Maps to see how far away the St. Louis Arch is from the water

growing up is realizing that rachel was exactly who percy needed in that period of his life. because she knew enough about the demigod world that percy could confide in her about the responsibilities as the prophecy kid. but was also separate enough from the demigod world that she never placed him on a pedestal or pitied him for it. she never looked at him like he was a dead man walking. or expected him to become something more than himself to get the job done. say what you want about their relationship. but no one. not sally. not paul. not poseidon. not chiron. not grover. and definitely not annabeth. could have been for percy what rachel was for him.

amen !!

“the seven weren't really friends, they were more like colleagues” have you ever considered shutting the fuck up

If Jason had been written to have atleast somewhat of a jealousy streak of Percy, then it would have made him more human tbh. Ironically I feel like the fandom would've been much more empathetic to his character, if he acknowledged that he envied Percy a little and then came to terms with it. We know that Jason's fear of being 2nd best is a very integral part of his character, I mean, Gaia taunting him with that in his nightmares was enough to reduce him into tears. and that's the ONLY time we've even remotely seen him cry. Percy had so many things Jason didn't have, a loving mom, a loving girlfriend who took a knife for him and never broke his heart, a loving camp that looked for him endlessly after he went missing, people ACTUALLY wanting him to survive because they care about him not because they need him for glory, etc. and if im being honest Poseidon wasn't even that bad of a father (for a big three god, atleast) tbh he still came to percy's 15th birthday, invited him to fishing, genuinely loved sally, she was probably the only mortal he fell in love with and it stayed that way, he was never rude to percy and stuck up for him etc. not tryna say percy had it easy or anything ofc he didnt, but there is no point in denying that he had a MUCH better support system than jason ever had.

The fact that Jason despite having none of these things was not even remotely envious of Percy made him appear like a bland robot with no emotional baggage

Compare this to Nico, who was rightfully a little jealous/idolizing Percy while simultaneously having a crush on him, also a little jealous of Jason because he was "the golden boy" who everyone respected, it made him have SO much depth and the fandom loves him (rightfully so)

also, leo. He was resentful of Percy up until blood of Olympus because of how everyone loved him, how Calypso fell for him almost immediately, etc. it's very realistic.Jason feeling a little resentful of Percy and then later talking it out would've made his character much less of a shallow stereotypical nice guy that ppl dislike.

maybe Rick could've expanded on Jason's jealousy of how quickly camp Jupiter accepted Percy and how quickly Reyna made him praetor, when jason himself had dedicated his whole life to it and was only made praetor in the last couple months, how camp Jupiter and his supposed friends never held a memorial for him even after they thought he was dead, etc. Also how Percy spent more time with thalia than jason ever did, we know he did feel a little envious since he mentioned how much he wished thalia looked for him the way she was looking for percy

I would've loved to see Jason being a little cold to Reyna too because of this and then they later talk it out, since it's VERY realistic, I was surprised with how quickly jason shrugged the whole Percy- being- a -praetor thing off, I thought he'd have felt a little betrayed by Reyna considering that they were childhood friends, and reyna never really sent a search party or something after him like annabeth did, gods, the amount of angst potential this man had i love him ugh

I HATE U SO MCUH I HATE U I HATE U IHATE U NDNDJHUDOIDOD THIS HJTYS SO BAD OHMYGODS HOW DARE U UYOU I hATE YIYG HSSSSIJSII

Leo Valdez who loves like a lovesick puppy, who follows who he has a terrible crush on.

Leo Valdez who loves like a hurt dog who was given the bare minimum and loves them so fiercely he defends them with all his heart and love.

Leo Valdez who can't help but shove himself the depths of a relationship like it's the last thing be will ever have because he can't bear to have them leave him and he can't bear to ever have them disappear.

Leo Valdez who lays awake at night waiting for them to text back because they're his everything but to them he's just another boy.

Leo Valdez who falls in love with Jason Grace but by time that happened he's so tired and sick of loving people who doesn't love him back he blinds himself from all the obvious signs that Jason likes him because that's what friends do.

Jason Grace who loves Leo Valdez so softly and treats him gently and takes his hand so softly in his own and waits patiently for him to come to him and love him back, Jason who waits for his crush to love him back so he can show him that love doesn't have to be pure devotion and that he's always there.

Okay goodmorning!

I'm like if a girl had the urge to scream and break something all the time but stays quiet instead

i just want to say that the purpose of the first act of in any story is to establish rules and set up promises that the final act will pay off. and there's a good likelihood that some of the changes that rick made in the show are just that. so respectfully. sit tight and let him cook. a watched pot never boils.
