i’ve warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises.

as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now.”

small talk isn’t to get to know a person. it’s just a greeting to affirm you’re buddies in the universe.

i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it.

While the original trio revolved around found family and being accepted amongst others and a collective, the lost trio's arcs were supposed to be about understanding one's self and figuring out one's identity.

Piper, for instance, struggles with being the daughter of Aphrodite. She doesn't relate to the effeminate nature and the (gross) stereotypes about Aphrodite being about makeup and love. She does figure out that cabin 10 is more than breaking hearts, but constantly struggles with her relationship and power of charmspeak. Additionally, she was someone who grew up not knowing about her mother and barely being connected with her indigenous roots. Because of her father's failure to immerse her in their culture, she only has to go off the barest memories of her Grandpa Tom- to where it seems like when he died, so did her connection to her heritage.

Leo's arc, was supposed to narrow in on his guilt end eventual acceptance of himself. His guilt is ultimately tied with a part of himself that he won't be able to get rid of. This is only compounded when he finds out the fire he has is rare, and he even knows someone who's live is tied to something extremely flammable. Leo has incredibly low self-esteem and considers himself to be lonely and an outcast- it does not help that those around him find him annoying or tell him he's supposed to be alone (Nike). His own father isn't good with people and is ostracized as well- Leo would follow in his footsteps.

Jason is the ideal main character to proceed the original PJO story. His story of identity is most obvious- he can't choose a camp. Which is an enthralling narrative, especially after reading 5 books in which Percy finds a home in CHB, and Annabeth questions her family. Jason feels a connection to both camps, but isn't entirely accepted at either. After his memory loss, unlike Percy, Jason is particularly at turmoil with who he is- he feels neither fully Roman nor Greek.

Now, the problem with all this, is that none of these arcs are ever finished or handled well after their set-up. Piper doesn't connect with her siblings, and her story ends with her going to Oklahoma (for some reason) with her dad to learn more about her roots. Leo gets a girlfriend and stays relatively friendless, his guilt magically disappearing. Jason dies away from either camp, still unsure of who he is, and his casket is sent to New Rome, completely ignoring his known crisis.

Rick completely failed to flesh all three of their arcs, and making the main trio of HoO seem boring and lame. They're not. They had an amazing set-up and strong theme to follow after PJO. It was just never delivered.

People who recycle and put their trash in their pocket until they find a trash can and people who pick up liter when they see it and people who still cut the six-pack rings so animals don’t get trapped or choke on them and people who move turtles out of the road and people who stop for ducks and geese to cross all have a very special place in my heart. You are so good to this world and earth. I hope you know that.

It’s crazy how low self-worth fucks with peoples lives

[desinteresse]

“What will I be if I don’t graduate/don’t get a promotion/don’t get my shit together/don’t make this relationship work?” You would be a perfectly normal human being who is inherently valuable and who possesses many talents and good traits

[desinteresse]

“What if I fail even when I tried my very best?” The world keeps turning and you will find many other things you will succeed at.

Jason's voice gets more robotlike or monotone the more anxious he gets

[percyjackson-post]

 When Jason Grace wakes up, he's surrounded by friends. He's holding hands with a beautiful girl who says that they're in love, and there’s a boy with a wild grin who says they’re best friends. Jason doesn’t know what’s going on, but he knows he's surrounded by people who care for him and want to help him.

When Percy Jackson wakes up, he's almost completely alone. His only connection is a wolf that seems to be judging his every move as it decides his worth. He's fighting for his life and desperately searching to find a place that would take him in and accept him.

When Jason and Percy were switched, they didn't just have their physical selves swapped. They had their lives swapped. Jason got to believe that someone loved him, and Percy got to experience what it was like to have no one.

And when it was over Percy went home and Jason realised he never had one to begin with.

[livlocus]

if jason grace ever got an iphone the only nonessential app he would have would 1000000% be a solitaire app that he plays only to try and beat annabeth’s score (he can’t)

like leo or piper would be like “you got any games?” and take jason’s phone only to see solitaire and just throw the it back at jason like “you’re a loser??”

[starlightshadowsworld]

Rick Riordon accidentally made one of the most tragic and complex characters in his series.

And then proceeded to do fuck all with him and that more then anything is the true tragedy of Jason Grace.
