Your order is my wilderness, Father. I cannot walk between the high rows of hedges and find my way out. I am not out of the maze. Stifled. I am trying to breathe, but I cannot. I am hardly breathing.
Siri Hustvedt, from The Blazing World

I’ve noticed recently that there has been a Jason renaissance of sorts.
*Spoilers for the Burning Maze ahead*
Jason has one of the most tragic stories in the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles. The boy was stripped from his family at age two as a gift to Juno. He was then raised by wolves and trained as a child soldier. Then he gets ripped from the only home he has ever known, his memories stripped, and then placed with people who have a false idea of who he is.
But its OK! He gets a chance at a second home, a girlfriend, a best friend, his sister back, and memories begin to come back.
Then he gets thrown back into a long quest but he finally gets the chance to return home to Camp Jupiter. Almost immediately the camp gets fired on by a possessed Leo and he is declared an enemy.
He gets thrown into a leader position yet again, only to be pit against another powerful demigod. Not to mention he is repeatedly knocked unconscious, making him feel weak. He gets stabbed and almost dies. And then the cherry on top, he loses his best friend.
Then, once everything is returned to normal, he has a job as he dedicated his life to ensuring the minor gods are venerated. His best friend comes back, but they can’t find him. His girlfriend dumps him. And he ends up alone at a school in Southern California.
But its fine, because he makes a life for himself. He is happy enough and content with his life.
And then he fucking dies.
He never got to see his best friend again. He died having never found a true home. He died as a product of a gods quest. He died a pawn of Hera. He died after once again having devoted himself to the gods, who never thanked or repaid him.
He just fucking dies

honestly, I don't know if this is a hot take anymore, but I've never understood the Jason Grace hate. I really never have.
I have so many thoughts about him and how he was fleshed out, he was such an interesting character. idk just thinking about Jason grace again.

Anyway making myself ill because everyday I think about how Leo gets car sick and Festus offers him such freedom, from that, from being stuck, from feeling trapped, from needing to rely on his own feet to take him places and yet the places Leo goes with Festus are always back to his other loved ones

Every time she thought she had a way out, she found the path sealed off, the maze closing in.
