Random Jason grace Stan. 24 || she/her || writer

Intro Post!

Hi! My name is Moonie, though you can still refer to me as just "jasongracestan12" cause I think it's funny lol. My pronouns are she/her, and I'm 23!

This is my blog where I primarily post about Jason Grace! A character from the Heroes of Olympus series, which is the riordan verse work I post most about.

Some facts about me and this blog are;

I've been in the fandom since 2011, making me a fandom veteran (I survived the Per-sassy era lmao).

I'm not actually a Jason "stan" per se. I enjoy a lot of different takes about his character, even if they're not exactly positive! I just like the conversation.

That being said, most content here is Jason defender behavior, lol.

Frank is my second favorite character.

I headcanon Jason as being on the ace spectrum (specifically demi), but I'm not averse to ship content with him and may repost it occasionally.

Valgrace is low key my notp (I'm sorry valgrace shippers, I just never got the appeal 😭)

I'm a huge canon nerd and have read the Heroes of Olympus 20+ times, no exaggeration lmao. This is my comfort series.

I obviously enjoy the series, but I can be Riordan critical too, on occasion.

I personally don't dislike any heroes of Olympus characters that aren't explicitly villainous.

Also, while I have argued with people on Tumblr before, I'd like to never do it again, lmao, so just know if you try to be aggressive with me, with love and light, I am no longer responding 🫶.

And most importantly!!

While this blog is generally safe for everyone, it's not exactly intended to be minor friendly, so use your own discretion when following (some posts contain cursing, etc.).

Posting this note I wrote for an upcoming Jason centric fic with 0 context lmao

[jasongracestan12]

Guys, do we think Jason would have a rolling backpack? This is really important, lmao

[jasongracestan12]

I'm currently reading The Magnus Chase series, the last book, after not reading it for 8 years, lmao. I could have sworn Blitz was described as "plump" but I looked up fanart of him and realized that I guess I just made that up in my mind.

where the FUCK did jason go when he died

[jasongracestan12]

This is undoubtedly a Rick writing issue, and NOT PIPER HATE, do not get it twisted, but sometimes rereading from her perspective is like. "...oh?"

(I am specifically talking about this scene btw)

[jasongracestan12]

Jason is the type to try and be there for others and not stand for people being there for him emotionally lol.

*jason grace voice* hey does anyone mind if i haunt th e narrative a little? does anyone mind if I'm mentioned in like every book writtne after my death ? also does anyone mind if it's never actually dug into and just kinda mentioned and moved past? ok great thank you

TOA SPOILERS BELOW

I think that the choice to have Jason die doesn't piss me off nearly as much as his death was handled.

Riordan seems to think that listing overly graphic details about Jason's lifeless body during his death substitutes as real emotional effect on the reader, and it doesn't. At least for me, it didn't. I never cry when I read Jason's death scene. Because it really just makes me upset, lol.

To get a reader emotionally invested in a character, we need to spend TIME with that character. We need to be able to get to know that character in an incredibly intimate way, and not only do I feel like Riordan didn't really succeed in doing that with Jason in Heroes of Olympus, the way we did with other characters, he also didn't do it with Jason in the book he DIED in.

It's always been my personal belief that, as much as I love Piper's character, we should have spent that book with Jason; not her. That would have made his death feel so much more impactful. Instead Jason is the person we know of vaguely for about 20 pages until he bites the dust so he can haunt the narrative. It's so irritating to me.

[jasongracestan12]

Can we talk about how actually insane it is that Rick finally announced that book project right after I made a post about how he hasn't announced that book project yet? Lmao

Anyways, I still don't gaf about it, but its a funny coincidence.
