the Jason grace of it all
a couple weeks ago I did a post on how crazy camp Jupiter's existence is as like a child soldier military camp and its crazy I stand by that.
but its time to get into the Jason grace of it all
bro was given up to Lupa - to JUNO - at TWO YEARS OLD! I have 2yos I work with still in nappies but what? he spends a year training with wolves and is deemed strong enough to go to CJ? Who then brands him into their cult by age 3????
Like he had 12 stripes on his arm in TLH??? He was 15? he wouldve earned his 13th on his 16th birthday most likely (if im remembering correctly that its done on their birthdays) like that's a ridiculous amount of time to be in the legion before you even turn 18.
Also when would he have had time to learn anything? he couldn't have possibly been doing school AND legion stuff??? HE WASNT EVEN OLD ENOUGH FOR SCHOOL WHEN HE STARTED
Like can he read? did he ever learn how to? can he do any maths beyond basic addition and subtraction? beyond basic order of operations? I'm sure there's some cult-y history lessons all CJ demigods are forced to go through but that's likely only about ancient roman stuff. maybe some latin classes like chb
but like did someone give Jason the talk??? I somehow doubt camp Jupiter had a sex ed program (although they should since they employ [without pay] like a million teenagers)
Like he could have retired to new Rome when he was 13!!! they have a 10 year mandatory service before retirement. pro could have been done before the 1st titan war even started getting heated.
ALSO he was already praetor at 15? This one I went into in a bit more depth I think because he wouldve been campaigning to be praetor at 14 if not earlier!
And then we get to the canon timeline!
because CJ didn't look for him? Marked him as a traitor (graecus) in the same breath they raised percy up on the shield to be praetor (the ACTUAL graecus)
And like hes given to Juno, so Juno believes hes hers to do with as she likes, which is at least half why she chose him to do the demigod exchange program and takes his memories, AND THEN HE BARELY HAS ANY OF THEM BACK EVEN 9 MONTHS LATER
and then he actually falls in love with piper but she never actually loved him which isn't her fault again JUNO and its not Jason's either but I still feel so bad
and then hes doing something he actually feels like he has a purpose in - the pontifex Maximus temple building stuff, and yet he goes to help Apollo on his quest. AND DIES BECAUSE OF IT
and unlike Thalia, zeus/jupiter doesn't save him and he DIES on a BEACH where percy wouldve survived. and I just-
