Op The Way My Heart Broke A Little More With Every Sentence - Tumblr Posts

Jason being the caregiver he never got for himself :(((

Jason being the good friend, trying his best to help his friend despite his underdeveloped emotional skills :(((((

Jason loving what few friends he had in New Rome despite living there his whole life, and most all of them seeing him as the Son of Jupiter and little else :(((((((

I keep thinking about Jason. Like, despite being raised into a litteral child soldier, this boy somehow grew up to be selfless and brave and caring and kind and sweet, and even a little funny too, even though he doesn't always mean to be? and it's just so endearing, and i just don't know where he got all this from? Clearly he didn't get it from Lupa and the wolves, nor from anyone in CJ (where, again, he was raised to be a child soldier), he definitly didn't learn to be gentle and kind from Zeus or Hera, and i doubt he could have gotten any of it from his mom, from what we know and what we've seen of her.

My best guess is, I think he's trying to be how he wished his caregivers were to him, growing up.
