Percy: Hey Hazel, do you know what weighs more? A kilogram of steel or a kilogram of feather?
Hazel: I’ve heard this one! They weigh the same-
Percy: Wrong, the answer is feathers.
Hazel: What?! How?
Percy: A kilogram of steel is just a piece of steel...but if you try to carry a kilogram of feathers, you also have to carry the weight of what you did to those poor birds.
Hazel: *sad hazel noises*
Frank: PERCYHOWCOULDYOUHAZELISNOWCRYINGNOWSAYSORRY-
Jason: But steel is still heavier than feathers!!!
Percy: *sad Percy noises*
Piper and Leo: *dying*
Nico: I can't with y'all
Coach Hedge: *trying to hold in laughter*
Annabeth: But isn’t- no wait- but it is-
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.
Okay, so, we know will got thrown off when he first tried to ride a horse, but what happened exactly?
-Coach hedge-Coach hedge is what happened -He put Will on a green horse mistaking him for Jason (jason often helps train the new horses)-This one mustang was prone to rearing when you pulled too hard on it’s mouth -Will was new to riding and as soon as the mustang went a little faster he choked up on the reins and the horse reared -But Will didn’t fall off-He just cussed the horse out very colorfully and clung to his neck for dear life -Annabeth and Nico had to pry him off the horse because Will refused to let go of the mustang’s neck-Nico asked him if he was hurt-Will was okay, just traumatized-he had his hand over his heart like he was waiting for it to stop beating so fast after that terrifying experience -Nico then went and chewed out Coach Hedge -“What the hell were you thinking putting Will on that horse?!”-“How was I supposed to know he wasn’t Jason?”-“He looks nothing like Jason!”-“They’re both blond!”-Nico has to walk away to try to calm down and not blow a gasket -Will hasn’t tried to ride a horse since
-I have coach hedge as another assistant coach in this au-Right now he’s on parental leave because of his newborn son Chuck
One of the most important things to know with Nico’s character is he is, in this order:
1.) An extrovert who cares SO MUCH about EVERYTHING, ALL OF THE TIME and thinks so highly of his friends and gets sad and lonely when he’s not around people and doesn’t want anyone else to feel sad and lonely. When he’s not around people he talks to the dead to fill in that gap. He’s surprisingly self-assured but is sensitive to what other people think about him (ex: has no qualms against murder and doesn’t regret it at all but is concerned he scared Reyna and Coach/made them uncomfortable by killing somebody in front of them).
2.) The world’s most awkward nerd. He loves card games and struggles to not infodump about his special interests at inopportune times and wanted to be a greek hero/pirate/possibly an aviator growing up, but also that was like Two Years Ago and he doesn’t wanna talk about it.
3.) Thinks of himself as judge, jury, and executioner on both a metaphorical sense but also he is literally that. Like, that’s literally his job position as Ghost King/son of Hades and he takes it very seriously and he will straight up murder somebody if they are breaking the laws of the Underworld (unless he’s giving somebody a pass because they’re his friend/family because see: bullet point 1 <3). And it directly ties into his powers (seemingly being able to judge people’s souls while they’re still alive and then also like. just. rip people’s souls out or turn them into skeletons).
So do with that information what you will.
