Wolf packs are largely familial so it's really interesting how Jason's family throughout the years keep abandoning him.
Chronic lone wolf syndrome.

typed some thalia hcs up for a server, so i’m dropping them here!
- tiny gal. 5’0 and less than 100 lbs. will still kick ur ass!
- takes after zeus more in the looks department, olive skin n dark hair, heavy freckles. her blue eyes are really the only thing she shares w her mom and brother? otherwise, it’s pretty hard to tell they’re related w/o really looking.
- the bitch can't read! seriously! she is functionally illiterate in english due to a combo of learning disabilities + a mom who just didn’t care + leaving home before the age of 10!
- beryl was... not involved in her schoolwork or anything. she was never formally diagnosed w adhd or dyslexia, she never made it past the first grade in school. once jason was born, she pretty much dropped out in favor of making sure he was safe and taken care of
- was definitely in a lot of tabloids as a kid. don't take her fucking picture without warning her. these are some of the only pictures of her from her childhood, so . . . let's not unpack that one tonight!
- super motherly to anyone and everyone who needs a big sister! she's used to stepping up to take that role and she definitely holds herself to a certain standard as far as taking care of other people goes. she feels her best when she's able to feel useful like that tbh
- so on that note she's surprisingly great with kids!!!
- surprise surprise, this is part of why she’s so good as first lieutenant ! she’s like the cool big sister, like she’s unquestionably in charge but she still respects and loves all of her girls and treats them as equals. she’s open to criticism from them, at least and patient in explaining things, and she’s got the energy to keep up with all of them!
- she keeps expanding the hunt, and no, she will not stop. the hunt has tripled since she took over, because she’s here for girls protecting girls!!! she knows there are a lot of kids out there growing up in similarly neglectful/abusive environments to her, and she frequently has girls bounce around to help locate and recruit them! she doesn’t care if they end up with a thousand girls, she can and will adopt them all!
- she will also run herself into the ground for the people she loves. it can be hard to win her over, but once you have her friendship, she'll never doubt you, and she'll goddamn die for you. don't betray that trust. please. i'm begging u. she can't take it anymore.
- she will not, however, sacrifice her well being for people she doesn’t care about. she learned early on that you can’t save everyone and she doesn’t necessarily try to, she gives her energy to those she deems worthy because she recognizes that that’s all she has. and her family always takes priority.
- never used her surname before she realized that jason was still alive for two reasons: one, it reminded her of how bad she fucked up. jason disappearing was a personal failure to her, and she'll never forgive herself for taking her eye off of him that day or for not looking harder. it hurt to even think about. two, she wants no tie to her mother. fuck being beryl grace's daughter! that wasn't going to be her legacy! but...... it's not about her legacy anymore, or her name. it's their name. her and her brother. and they are goddamn cool as fuck, and she's going to reclaim that shit!!
- legally her middle name is beryl but she really will slit your throat if you ever pull that one out. not that she's ever told anyone, but still !
- super duper proud of what a GREAT KID JASON IS but also a little sad that she didnt get to see it
- still thinks of annabeth as her baby sister and loves her more than life itself
- ambrosia tastes like slightly charred marshmallows and reminds her of annabeth n luke ……
- takes bianca di angelo’s death EXTREMELY PERSONALLY. that shit should have never happened, and she feels a little responsible despite not being a part of the hunt at the time? it definitely serves as a reminder to properly train her girls, make sure they’re confident in their abilities and knowledgeable about their expectations, because seeing a kid lose his big sister fucked her up in a real personal way ,,,
- so on that note she’d probably actually die for nico, even if she rarely talks to him
- don’t touch her when she’s upset. she won’t mean to, but u will get shocked.
- ultra respect for percy jackson but please dont tell him
- piercing fiend ! she's got one of her eyebrows done, an industrial bar that's usually got a lil arrow in & a triple helix on the other side, 3 piercings in each lobe, the works ! she's gonna keep goin too lol 
- and also tattoos. lil tattoos. none of them are big extravagant pieces, it's more like a lil figure of zoe's constellation on her forearm, a lighting bolt behind her ear, lil tributes to people she's lost and things that make her her scattered all around ! they're all stick n poke, she's either done it herself or had her girls help, and you're gonna see a fair amount of tattooed nine years olds when the hunt comes to visit ! 
- on that note, she doesn't treat her huntresses (or most demigod kids for that matter) like kids. she doesn't throw the weight of the world on their shoulders like some people out there (LOOKIN AT U, GODS!) but she acknowledges that lil demigods have all dealt with their fair amount of shit and isn't going to baby them or talk down to them. her girls especially, there are """nine year olds""" that are technically older than her,  and she thinks it would be disrespectful to treat them as kids. so she's very much in the habit of speaking to kids as adults tbh!

nat bullshits her way through a titan fight: the story, the blog
Tumblr media
bear with me y’all. what if jason was able to take on a titan without a weapon bc................his sibs blessed him. obviously this is just personal hc and while i would love a canon explanation, There Isn’t One. so just. consider with me:
on this here blog o’ mine, you may notice i put a HUGE importance n weight on jason’s relationships with his siblings, or people he feels are siblings. well. i think for the first few years of his life, the loss of thalia was a point of severe trauma for him. he was abandoned, at age two, to live with wolves for a year. he retains memories of thalia even as a teenager, so it’s clear to me that he thought about her often, tried his best to not forget her. 
jason, when he got to cj, often tried to run away, because his mother had promised him she’d return for him; he thought it meant she and thalia were still looking for him. understandably, the camp couldn’t just lose him — he is the son of the camp’s patron, it would just. be bad. they also thought that perhaps thalia was just a figment of jason’s imagination; he’s young, very traumatised — maybe he just made her up to cope with everything that had happened? kids do that, he’ll grow out of it. eventually, when he’s six or seven, he does. beryl does not return for him, and jason learns to keep thalia a closer secret so he can’t be ridiculed for having an ‘imaginary sister’
skip a few years on, and jason has resigned himself to having nobody outside this camp. but over the years, and through the quests, jason sort of finds family in the 5th cohort, in his friends around camp. he’s appointed leading, important roles by the camp because he is the son of jupiter, but he learns to be a genuinely good and brave and kind leader because he wants to do right by the people he loves. ( and even if he doesn’t love them, the whole camp is full of innocent people who are relying on him in times of need; he’s been trained to not fail, but he’s also learned that nobody deserves to get hurt and won’t fail them on his own principles. ) (( not the healthiest mindset to instil in a CHILD but we all know jason’s issues with new rome are another matter entirely ))
he protects and loves and dedicates himself to the roman army, and fights to make it better for the innocent KIDS serving their time in it’s ranks. he fights for their rights, and their safety, and earns their respect that way, as......various people have commented on in canon. anyway. but he’s still incredibly lonely, and surrounded by people with families, or at least siblings in camp. surrounded by people who may also be alone, but revel in it, are unbothered by it. in an attempt to fill that gap, he prays more regularly to his godly siblings than he does his father. ( in particular: mars, bacchus, mercury, apollo. fathers of some of his closest friends. ) over the years he runs quests, i’d like to say he meets them in one way or another — he’s already met bacchus, and done a favour for him. ( something about a leopard??? boy............tf. ) so......................he has all these years of loneliness slowly wilting away bc he distracts himself with prayers to his siblings, even if he isn’t sure they listen, and by forging close n important bonds w/ friends. ( gwen, bobby, dakota — to name a few. )
by the time the titan battle swings around, jason heads up the mountain alone rather than risk hundreds of demigod kids’ lives trying to fight a titan. ( if they die, new rome is deprived of a future, it’s main defence, and far too many innocent people. besides, they raised jason for this; they kept his troublesome ass bc he’s the most powerful kid in camp, the best weapon in a fight. he’s sure this is what he’s meant to do. ) 
so off he goes, gets into a fight with titan, nearly fucking DIES because he is one fourteen / fifteen year old boy and krios has most definitely just destroyed his weapon and scared him shitless. but jason, as we all know, is a stubborn arse and keeps at it bc he isn’t even thinking about WINNING at this point; he just wants to buy his friends more time ( like in TLH, in the fight against porphyrion! ) so he’s. strugglin out there and has a moment of near desperation n just prays for help. from his dad, from anyone. and the legion, knowing he’s up there, are praying for him in turn. the gods are very clearly busy helping the greeks, but. some of them hear the pleas from the roman children; some of them spare a moment to help their brother from a different battlefront; to grant strength, rage, speed, deadly aim — things that would at least help jason survive.
a few lucky shots, multiple godly boosts from his siblings, and krios goes down. jason passes out from overload for a long time, but family definitely came thru in the end up. he’s always, always been so desperate for acknowledgement from family, for a family at all, and apparently wishing and praying for years paid off.
