This! This Is Why Percy And Jason Are Foils For Each Other! They Arent Meant To Be Compared And Measured

this! this is why percy and jason are foils for each other! they aren’t meant to be compared and measured up against each other, but they’re basically two sides of the same coin, so to speak.

perceus means ‘destroyer’ and jason means ‘to heal’

jason was named such to appease the gods, and percy was named as such to defy the fates and give him hope for a happy ending in spite of what the gods may throw at him.

jason is malicious compliance, and percy is outright defiant to the system. jason has been part of the system forever and seeks to fix it from the inside, while percy is an outsider to the system and seeks to fix it outright, through full front opposition.

neither is wrong, it’s just that they reflect each other

it makes me wonder what json would’ve been like had he not been raised in a military setting from the age of 2

this is my favorite Jason moment of all time. We don’t often see a lot of his character in the books other than subtle undertones and this gives us a direct look inside his mind. Imagine you’re a demigod in New Rome, and everyone’s been hyping up this Jason guy. Jason Grace, the son of Jupiter and praetor of New Rome, the guy who makes and enforces the law, changed the way of living for all roman demigods. A leader and role model for all And then when you finally meet him he’s like “I chafe under the rules 😎”

So umm just finished reading the Tower of Nero. Trials of Apollo book 5 and I have no words.

"You might think as the ex god of poetry I would have found the words but words failed me" Oh Apollo 😢😭

Apollo will always be my faviroute Olympian no matter what.

i think it would be so cool if grover’s wedding dress in s2 was traditional indian attire. also gives more reasons for him to delay the wedding like “ohhh no mr. cyclops you see, i’ve always wanted an indian wedding, and i think if you didn’t it would really offend me” and the cyclops asks what that wedding would consist of and grover’s like “oh lots and lots of things. lots of jewelry and a super heavy lehenga. it might take a while for everything to be planned, honestly.” and of course the cyclops somehow gets all that done and grover panics. and then day of the wedding comes and because he’s still trying to delay it so that percy can come hes taking hours to get ready because “all this jewelry is super heavy. and my lehenga is very heavy. it’s just taking a while to walk to you because everything is so, uh, heavy.”

Wait. Titans respawn in Tartarus.

Apollo's mom Leto respawned in Tartarus. Apollo is half Titan.

Where was closest to Apollo when he passed out at the edge of chaos? TARTARUS.

All I'm saying is there was a reason he was regenerating so fast down there, gaining powers, and somehow went on even when his body died.

wooooo!!! :D

i try and act cool and mysterious then someone brings up one of my interests and i have to pretend im not insane
