oomf posted about jason grace a bit too close to the sun and is now being haunted by jason grace himself and it's so fucking funny to me
@ruddigerspawss how does it feel to be haunted /j
ive been getting my friend into pjo and she just got spoiled abt jasons death. I TOLD HER IT WAS JUST IN A RLLY POPULAR FANFICTION AND EVERYBODY JUST RLLY LIKED THE ANGST. shes gonna kill me when she gets to burning mazeš¬
edit:she found out i was lyingš
Sorry if any of this feels disjointed. This is my first time doing a character and plot rewrite.
I think Jason had loads of potential to be a great character, but it was messed up in TBM.Ā
If you want more details, I wrote a post about my thoughts:Ā https://www.tumblr.com/criminalmutantsins/698742446518091776/jason-grace-deserved-better-this-is-just-my?source=share
To add on to the post, Iāll explain what I would change.Ā
Jason and Piper are together in TBM, but there would be dialogue explaining how it was tough āstarting overā their relationship(like Blood of Olympus very much hinted) and that they had to do individual soul searching before building a better foundation for their relationship. Piper would have doubts about their relationship and still question if Aphrodite and Heraās interference is why they are together.
Piperās father would still lose his money but earlier, so Piper would move back to Oklahoma. Jason would go back and forth between Camp Half-Blood, building plans for the shrines. They still communicate except as friends. This would give them time to individuate and learn more about themselves(they would be broken up). Piper would realize her bisexuality and become attracted to Shel. They date, but it only last for a few months because Piper still has feelings for Jason. Her doubts of the relationship are resolved; however, she waits so she doesnāt pressure Jason. Speaking of Jason, after working for months on the shrines, he wishes to take a break and start acting/doing things for himself(hang out with friends, relaxing, etc). Jasonās feelings for Piper are still the same and, after a while, he talks to her about it. They get back together with Jason going to Oklahoma to be closer to Piper and try living a regular life. This could be good representation on how relationships take a lot of work and time, but can be worth it when there is love and communication.Ā
By the time The Burning Maze starts, Jason and Piper have been together for a month and are a stronger team. However, Jason is having trouble adjusting to having a normal because of his sense of responsibility to be a leader and protector. Between the couple getting together and TBM, they find another entrance to the Labyrinth and Jason learns about the prophecy. Safe to say, he is really stressed.
Instead of the prophecy saying that either Jason or Piper would die, I would change it to either one having to make a great sacrifice. Jason would still fight Caligula. It would be monumental for Jasonās character, and a big fight. Jason would lose, though he would escape with the group with grievous injuries and would be out of commission for the rest of the book. These injuries would result in Jason being paralyzed from the waist down, sacrificing a big part of his identity- being a strong fighter, something he is mostly known for. Jason would have to learn to adjust to the change and further learn more about himself. Though, thanks to Leoās skills and a battle-ready wheelchair, Jason can still fight, he decides to mostly stay in the sidelines and be a tactician.

I think cavetown songs, at least some of them are so Percy Jackson coded, like devil town? Like " I forgot my name again I think that's something worth remembering" you can not tell me that's not either Percy or Jason ( or both) trying to get their memories back "spiders in your favourite shoes just leave them because I'm scared of you" Annabeth and it could be with both Arachne or her mother. " Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too " Percy and Annabeth Falling into tartarus. Actually that whole verse give major percabeth in Tartarus vibes "I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times, hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night, I still get a little scared of something new, but I feel a little safer when I'm with you" it can also be applied to Nico and will
"hold my hand tight we'll make it an other night?" Could be Nico, Reyna and coach Hegde.
"You said something dumb again, she's mad, at least that's what they say" Athena and Annabeth. "Mum and daddy aren't in love, that's fine, I'll settle for two birthdays" demigods
I fell like devil town has plenty of other verses that can be applied to pjo. And also other cavetown songs but, this one in specific, devil town, I just remembers me of pjo and HoO so much
hear me out a fic where Percy doesnāt lose his memoryās when being reincarnated for whatever reason and find Jason or Nico(Nico for peak angst) in that life and falls in love and Slidell realizes he was in love with him in his previous life to. Heās in love with Jason in every life no matter who they are or why they are. If someone writes this please put link in comment or repost it with link to account or fix so I can read it please!! I canāt write well :(
pov you donāt ship cannon ships and crash out when you see them interact in the media
when is this?
I WANT JERCY WEEK
waiting for jercy week 2025 to be happy and post fanfic every day for a week about my beloved children
Ok, ok.
So. I've had this theory floating around in my head for years but i've never actually talked about it.
The First Great Prophecy of the original Percy Jackson books is worded like this:
1. A half-blood of the eldest gods
2. Shall reach sixteen against all odds
3. And see the world in endless sleep
4. The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap
5. A single choice shall end his days
6. Olympus to preserve or raze
Now, in Heroes of Olympus, Piper Mclean makes an interesting comment about the nature of the oldest olympian:
Now, the reason for one of the Big Three's children being prophesized is simply, that "gods often refer to the male ones."
When you put this into context, this seems, odd, doesn't it? Prophecies are intentionally misleading, and according to the wiki, "Regardless of how a prophecy is received, they all have one thing in common: they are cryptic. A prophecy will never say exactly what will happen,"
So why are the Big Three assumed to be the eldest gods, and why does everyone just go along with this explanation, the easiest one to believe?
(Ok, so what am I yapping about? what does this mean?)
Aphrodite is the eldest Olympian. Her daughter, Silena (oh, no.)
could be the (my) hero of the Great prophecy.
Let me explain each line first, then go through the entire theory.
First of all,
2. "shall reach 16 against all odds."
Silena was around 16 at the time of her death. The "odds" she's faced, apparently to make her decision (which I'll talk about later) are most likely just one "odd": Beckendorf's death. Unlike Percy, who's (assumed to be) our hero in the original story, she does not go through multiple quests to try and stop Luke/Kronos. This might make someone feel this argument is less compelling. However, Beckendorf's death and Clarisse's support rock Silena's foundations to the core, because she operated with Luke only under the belief that he would keep Beckendorf safe.
So yes, Silena made it to her current age against all odds.
" 'Against all odds' is an idiom that meansĀ something was achieved despite the odds being stacked against it." So absolutely, Silena made it against all odds.
3. And see the world in endless sleep
This section is pretty self-explanatory. In the Last Olympian,
So yes, as easily as this section applies to Percy, it easily applies to Silena. What's even more interesting is that in this specific scene, Silena is given a role.
Keep in mind up until this point Silena has basically been treated barely as a character, an accessory for Rick to use as an Aphrodite child Percy is semi-familiar with. Rick even regularly forgets the makeup of her physical features.
So yes, she does fit the third line of the prophecy.
Now you may think. "There's absolutely no way she can fit the last three lines of the prophecy into Silena's story. No. Absolute. Way."
But, dear reader, you misunderstand me. This is merely an alternate interpretation of the Great Prophecy that I honestly like better than the original one. Because it subverts expectations. Because it changes the way people see things, and prophecies seldom turn out exactly the way they are described. Percy at some point is just assumed to be the hero of the prophecy. I like this theory because it is exactly what a prophecy should be: it will never say exactly what will happen, in the way that you expect it to happen.
Let's move on to Line #4.
4. The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap
Silena is established as the spy for Kronos in Book 5, The Last Olympian, Kronos begins taunting Percy with a bracelet that has a scythe charm on it: the method of communication he and his spy use. This scythe charm could very well be the "cursed blade" as Silena gives up her soul to be reaped by Kronos' cursed blade. Silena sells her soul in the hope of saving Beckendorf, and she loses her soul/life in the process of losing that blade. The cursed blade reaps, or kills, her.
If not for her association with Kronos and her later guilt that leads her to die for Clarisse, Silena would never have died. She wouldn't have been reaped. It's not as literal of a connection but it's a poetic one that still works quite well, especially in the tone of this side-arc mirroring the poem of Achilles and Patroclus.
5. A single choice shall end his days
("WAIT!!", you're saying. "IT SAYS HIS DAYS, NOT HER DAYS!!1!!!1 THEORY DISPROVED, AND YOU'RE A LIAR!")
Do you hear people say "humankind" very often? In many older texts, and partially in the current day, "him" was just the singular, default version of "they". Femininity had to be specified. This is why Thalia was considered a viable candidate for the prophecy.
Now, Silena's single choice was obvious: going out with Clarisse's helmet on. She sacrificed her life to lead the Ares cabin, which by the way was a major problem as they had the majority of the weapons and heavy fighters but refused to be moved out UNTIL Silena decided to step up and lead them.
#6. and More Explanation will be out in a part #2 I will write soon!!!
idk about the others but Percy is getting a happy meal with apple slices, apple juice and a kids toy and I know Nico isnāt one of the seven but he would also get a happy meal and he would probably pair it with a monster energy drink
What are the Heroes of Olympus ordering at McDonalds?
Okay hear me out here.
The Percy Jackson movies are good.
Now I do have an explanation for this.
Theyāre good - ignoring the books. Like, if you take them away from being the stories of the books.
Like how they do Grover! I love Grover in the movies so much. I canāt lie, in the first movie, with the Hydra I think it was, all I could think of was that āOH SHIT! OH SHIT!ā meme because that is so something Grover would do.
Now, Iāve just been watching them, Iām just starting Sea of Monsters right now, as I canāt wait for the series and canāt read the books right now, and I needed SOMETHING. I canāt really remember the movie too well, so Iām mainly talking about Lightning Thief in this post.
Just one thing that REALLY annoys me, regardless of the story, is when Percy and Luke are fighting, and Percy is about to be beat, so he uses the water from the water thingies to attack Luke.
That could have KILLED Luke, he was holding the embodiment of fucking lightning. Electrified water is very very dangerous, could have very easily killed Luke. Percy was being extremely reckless.
Also just the things that they miss out, like the Laestrygonians at the start of Sea of Monsters and Clarisse in Lightning Thief, and Tantalus in Sea of Monsters again. All these little things, would make it so much better. I understand that they didnāt have the time as itās a movie, but at least Tantalus would have added to the movie so much if done well.
(Also random side note, I always imagined Clarisse as rather bulky, not a skinny little thing like in the movies.)
As amazing as the series looks, and it does look amazing, I think they should re-make the movies too. I donāt even care if they arenāt completely book accurate at this point, just make them a little bit better here and there, and theyād be amazing.
Thank you for your time.
"Hey, Annabeth?" Percy asked, poking his head into his bedroom, where his girlfriend was sitting cross-legged on the floor, solving some papers. "Yeah?" she asked without looking up as Percy plopped himself down next to her. "How long will you be staying?" The question made her pause, before she turned, eyes roving over Percy's look. "You see this?" she said quietly, raising her hand and twirling her finger around the only gray streak of hair in Percy's raven black head of hair. Her matching grey streak glinted in the sunlight as Percy's eyes darted up to where her finger was. "I'm going to stay with you till this one turns grey," her finger moved to twirl the neighbouring obsidian lock around it, "and this one," her finger went to the next one, "and this, till all of them match this one," her finger went back to the original grey strand, the only one in his hair, "I'll stay with you till we're both old and have grey hairs and I'll stay with you beyond that too."
Percy looked touched, warmth and surprise mingling in his sea green eyes, before he muttered sheepishly, "I was kind of referring to how long you'll stay at my place, 'cause Mom's asking if you're waiting till dinner-" "Oh my gods, Percy! You could have asked that better!" "What? I just asked how long you'll be staying!" "I thought you meant-forget it." "But, wait-" "Forget it." "Wise Girl-" "Forget it before I refuse to solve your papers." "Hold on, so...you'll stay with me forever?" "...of course, Seaweed Brain."
WARNING : Moana 2 Spoilers ahead
Who agrees that Moana is starting to become a LOT like Percy jackson?
First quest, removes the negativity from a bad god and makes them good(ish) Te Ka -> Te Fiti Ares / Hades -> Knocks down Ares' ego by a decent bit / Removes Hades from suspicion
And by the time the first movie is over, Moana's 'got all the gods talking', in Matangi's words. Percy Jackson did pretty much the same.
Zeus, the King of the Gods, god of skies and thunder, hates Percy. Nalo, the god of storms and lightning, hates Moana. See any similarities?
Artemis, a fierce huntress and daughter of Zeus, dislikes Zeus' ways, takes a liking to Percy. Matangi, a powerful bat demigoddess who's a subordinate of Nalo, wishes to overthrow Nalo, takes a liking to Moana. Tamatoa, a crab who talks with the gods themselves, was humiliated and hates Moana. ...everyone knows Percy's humiliated more than enough minor gods and is on the top of every monster's bucket list of 'Demigods I Wish To Devour'.
Percy has a bestie named Frank Zhang, a big strong guy who can turn into animals. Moana has Maui, who needs no description.
Percy has Leo, a crazy tinkerer who's the best mechanic to be found and fights with a hammer. Moana has Loto, who's just the same.
And thus, I rest my case that Moana is 100% a daughter or descendant of Poseidon, and that she and Percy should be siblings with a knack for gathering the undivided hate of all the gods. (I would die to see that AU made canon)
And, as a final point?
They both have adorable little sisters.
I just know same face syndrome hates to see you coming
the 7 + nico and reyna face studies!
Just started reading heroes of Olympus my favourite is Leo because he says booyah
