"I'm a Jason apologist"

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO APOLOGISE FOR????? WHEN HAS HE EVER DONE WRONG????

The fandom's bias and tendency to wanting to agressively associate EVERYTHING with Percy and getting upset when a character isn't associated with him really taints their view on actually significant relationships, and it ruins Percy's canon character tbh.

I came across a video edit appreciating Jason and Nico's friendship, and the comments were just filled with people raging on how Percy should've been included instead of Jason because he was "much closer friends" to Nico than Jason was. It's appalling how much ppl can turn to a blind eye when it comes to Jason.

People hate Jason SO much in this fandom that they literally refuse to admit that Nico canonically considered Jason as his first ever friend, not Percy (this is literally said in Tower of Nero, by the way)

My perspective on Percy and Nico is that, they were never really "close" to begin with and never ended up being close either, and that's okay. Percy tried his very best to be a brother to Nico, but they somehow always had tension with eachother because of Nico's internal turmoil of idolizing and crushing on Percy whilst simultaneously associating him with Bianca.

Sure, they talked it out a little in the end, but I'd like to think that some tension would always be there, because they started off at the wrong foot, and there was too much bitterness and resentment to come in their dynamic. And them never actually being close "brothers" makes their dynamic very significant and authentic. In the end, Nico acknowledged that Percy was a good person, and I like to think that's the farthest they've ever gone in their dynamic. They both are on amicable terms but the awkwardness still being there is very realistic, the weight of Bianca's death would always be associated with Percy to Nico, and it's neither of their faults.

Percy doesn't have to be close with everyone just because he's the main character, it really deprives him of actually meaningful connections. The fandom forcing him to be buddy buddy with everyone simply because they HAVE to associate Percy with anyone and everyone, and getting angry that Jason is closer to Nico than Percy is, is just really weird.

Why do people feel SO threatened about Jason all the time that they have to get all defensive and suppress his connections by dragging Percy into videos that doesn't even have to do anything with him? I swear y'all are creating this whole Jason/Percy rivalry thing because you cannot bear to see someone rival Percy, and you want Percy to be the only powerful/good person in the books.

Let other characters befriend eachother without trying to insert Percy in there all the time.

Percy and Nico would never be like Reyna and Nico, or Jason and Nico, and that's completely fine. I like them better that way. You can't be best friends with everyone. That's just how life works.

“We discussed a lot about how we could flesh out the basic point that the triangle is not just two people after one, but the corners touch together all the time. You’re not jealous of your girlfriend or your boyfriend. You’re jealous because you’re not chosen by one and you’re losing the other.” — Luca Guadagnino, about ‘Challengers’ for The New York Times

happy lesbian visibility week to all my fellow lesbians 🧡🤍🩷

the way i feel about valdangelo is not necessarily that i would want to trade s*langelo for them. i love s*langelo and appreciate that they're canon (and i'm only censoring the name like that so this doesn't appear in their tag). but i just think that if rick had put more thought into HoO and not had such an excessive focus on romance and pairing everyone up then nico and leo could've at least been friends. i just think there could be something about nico being a natural extrovert who became withdrawn and isolated as a trauma response and leo being a natural introvert who made himself seem goofy and outgoing as a trauma response. nico believing that nobody will ever accept him for who he is so why should he even try and leo being desperate to try and make everyone like him even if they really only like the facade he's putting on. both of them just needing to understand that they are capable of belonging somewhere, of being loved fully and as themselves. there could be something about them initially being annoyed by each other but slowly gravitating toward each other, running into each other when everyone else is doing their own thing and it's just them who are by themselves on the ship, and starting to work together and understand each other. there could be something about them both being orphans who deeply loved their mothers and then lost them. about them having surprisingly similar senses of humor. about the duality of fire and darkness and life and death. i just. they could've gotten each other. they could've been friends if rick just let them interact.

you think oh theyre cute together. i hyperanalize their mentalities and dynamic and how their thought proccesses complement each other, only to instead of shipping them off to therapy, make their mental health even worse

we are not the same
