Jason Grace x !female reader
Tumblr media
The confession either started from you or him. I mean, how can you resist him? Either you were there in Camp Jupiter from the start, or you met him at Camp Half-blood.
Either way, the fates did their work and you had him.
If he did confess, it would be in a private place at the highest tower, where you could overlook the scenery and stars from there. He would point at the constellations, and you would stare at the night sky—but you were the only thing he was admiring. The cool breeze would be a perfect excuse to brush his shoulder against yours, and he would gently take your hand and cradle them close to his body, turn his eyes with an earnest look in his eyes that already said everything. He spoke slowly, slightly mispronouncing certain words because of the cold making his lips feel like ice.
Either your first kiss was right then and there, or it was later. Jason wouldn’t force a kiss if you didn’t consent to it in one way or form. “Can I kiss you?” He would already know the answer deep down, but he’s just making sure. Then he would turn your chin toward him as he leaned forward---and kissed you.
Man, when you kiss this guy – fireworks appear. It feels electrifying, quite literally too since he sometimes can’t control the sparks that comes from his body.
Whenever he sees that you’re around, he can’t help but puff out his chest and try to look as attractive as possible.
Anything that can show off his strength is good. Archery, running away from woodnymphs, climbing the volcano at Camp Half-blood.
Or showing off his leadership and tactical side at Camp Jupiter, raising his voice and making it seem super masculine.
He would cross his arms against his chest, stand tall with his head held high – this was one of the few times he didn’t mind attention, you bet he’s going to demand for it.
He would slightly frown or cock an eyebrow, overseeing what his soldiers were doing, and if they were doing their job at all.
He would try to help you as much as possible in every way or form. If you had anything, and I mean ANYTHING in your hands he would be quick to take it in his hands and hold it. Likes babes, its just a sheet of paper calm down.
He would give half-smiles often, mostly because he can get very mushy and soft quickly and wants to look dashing and cool – and less like a golden retriever.
But that side of him goes just as fast when you praise him or when you touch his biceps for support. Or if you just happen to talk to him or give him flirtatious eyes across the room – this guy will SENSE it, HE KNOWS WHAT YOU WANT. He just likes to tease.
Sometimes it feels like he’s somewhat odd, or distant. But let’s say he likes playing hard to get, just as much as he loves the chase.
His eyes are calculating and has such a nice look to them it would feel like his eyes are hypnotizing you.
Loves it if you trace his lip scar. It gets really tingly and nice for him. He has to bite back the urge to bite your fingers or lick his lips.
Surprisingly smooth when he doesn’t think about it. Smoothly drapes his arm around your waist, holding it before he will he keep rested there while he’s talking to someone.
Or he would lean in really boldly, tilt your chin, and give you a good, nice kiss on the mouth.
He´s the type of person to pout while he’s kissing and breath a lil’ too loudly through his nose.
Once you get to the make-out stage he sucks in breath while kissing you with a slightly open mouth.
He is not the type to use too much tongue or too much of anything unless you like that.
But he will lean back to catch his breath while looking at you with such an intense gaze you might as well submit.
But if you’re more dominant, he will dig that. He would be somewhat stubborn. If you tell him what to do (let’s say you’re roleplaying and you’re a power-dom), he will glance at you and watch you from the corners of his eyes – not moving an inch of his life until he��s got you worked up – he would then smirk or laugh and be nice to you.
Hold his hand and you will feel the rough skin (this guy never moisturizes, because he forgets too) and callouses.
His hands are big, square, and hard in a way that’s nice – especially if he’s pressing you down.
Make-out on his bed and he will slowly run his fingers from your navel, and up your arms, before pressing you down with a shift of his hips – pinning you in place.
Not too verbal but you can hear him if you work him up just the right way.
ISTG I HC that Jason loves the “kissing” noises couple makes it definitely turns him on more than he likes to admit. He likes the noise of his wet kissing on your neck too.
Back to dating, Jason will teach you swordsmanship – The Roman Style. He will adjust your wrist and the way you hold the handle for every movement. He will find the perfect weapon suited for your needs.
Walking through a field of strawberry bushes or through the hot mesa/fields of Mars (they have that in California, right?).
This guy gets PINK because of the hot sun, he will help you lather sunscreen on your back.
Is such a sweet guy and remembers Valentine’s Day – but somewhat forgets anniversaries so he has to write it down.
The type of guy to write reminders on his forearms, otherwise he would forget.
Lather some aloe vera on his face, neck, chest, back and shoulders and he will be on his knees for you.
Sensitive skin so can’t use all moisturizers, but for some reason will use 3-in-1 shampoo?
Asks what your favorite scent is and will buy the exact one because he cares about your opinion.
Not a perfume guy but will compliment yours and will put his head wherever you sprayed your cologne/perfume – doesn’t matter if it’s sprayed on your neck or wrists, the boy wants to smell.
Has some cute habits that he definitely picked from you.
Is the type of guy to pick up on people’s speech habits, just imagine he says a lot of “like” because you often say that.
Doesn’t follow you around like a lost puppy – but watches you with his eyes like a guard dog.
The type of guy to like picnic dates, beech dates, city dates, all types of dates. He´s not too picky but he does enjoy relaxing things where he has time to talk but drag him to waterskiing and he will have a blast.
Can get insecure and jealous if guys flock around you. – calm him down by putting a reassuring hand on his back.
Actually has the urge to giggle and kick his feet if you play with his hair or scratch it in a soothing way.
If he gets jealous, he will do anything to grab your attention; a cool trick, laugh loudly, become charismatic, lean towards the squad legions, and discuss things in a very serious way – even though he literally doesn’t need to because you love him.
Will most likely say “I love you” first, and usually says it at night.
Will collect cute little bracelets and puts it on his wrists or sword handle as decoration so he’s always carrying a part of you during quests.
Won’t let anyone or anything stand in between the relationship and bond you two have. He is willing to commit a lot of different crimes for you.
I hope you liked it! Thanks for the request!

Rome’s 'Lost' Imperial Palace 'Domus Tiberiana' Reopens
Until recently a crumbling and off-limits ruin near the famous Colosseum, the Domus Tiberiana palace — built in the first century AD and beloved by Nero — hopes to once again take its place as one of the city’s top tourist attractions.
The ancient palace sits on Palatine Hill — the city’s oldest hill, overhanging Rome —from where imperial dynasties ruled for centuries. But over the years, the site fell into disrepair and in the 1970s, the Domus Tiberiana site was shut due to the structural instability of some of the ruins. The closure left behind what many Romans described as a “black hole” in the capital’s archaeological heart.
Now, after a six-year makeover, the palace has reopened its doors as a “diffuse museum,” with findings and frescoes scattered across the site to provide visitors with an insight into the palace’s ancient grandeur.
Tumblr media
And it was grand. The Domus Tiberiana was Rome’s first imperial palace, built by the emperor Tiberius who combined and incorporated the pre-existing noble mansions built on the hill. Occupying over four hectares, the palace featured residences alongside large gardens, places of worship and rooms for the emperor’s Praetorian guard.
As the seat of Rome’s power and politics, Domus Tiberiana held a prime location, high above the Palatine and Roman Forums, offering its occupants a “balcony view of the city.” Over time, the Domus was embellished and enlarged by other emperors including Nero, who was crowned on its steps aged just 16, in 54 AD.
Alfonsina Russo, director of the Colosseum’s archaeological park (in which Domus Tiberiana falls) and lead archaeologist on the renovation, said that ancient antiquities, many exceptionally well-preserved, were unearthed during the project.
The artifacts — bright stuccos, frescoes, amphorae, potteries, looms, terracotta, and divinity statues related to the cults of Isis, Dionysius and Mithras — offer visitors a trip through time, said Russo.
Tumblr media
“They make this place — formerly (inhabited) by aristocratic families, then Roman emperors — feel alive again,” she said. “There are seven exhibition rooms full of extraordinary finds, starting with those preceding the original construction of the palace when aristocrats lived in mansions before Tiberius subsumed them into the Domus.”
Among the newly-exposed and frescoes are some of the earliest paintings of lemons (considered an exotic fruit in Ancient Rome, as they hailed from the Far East) and a depiction of a gladiator, proving that the era’s gladiatoral games were appreciated by rich families, explained Russo.
The imperial palace remained in use until the 7th century, when it became the papal residence of John VII. In the mid-16th century, the aristocratic Farnese family — who were powerful local landowners — built the lavish Orti Farnesiani gardens on the site, adorning it with ornaments and sculptures of nymphs, satyrs and fauns.
“This monument speaks of history,” Russo added. “We have restored (Domus Tiberiana) to its past splendor, but more work lies ahead.”
Indeed, painstaking efforts have been made to blend old and new. A series of majestic, reddish-brown vaulted arches that greet visitors having been carefully reconstructed with the same materials as ancient Romans used in the past.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“What makes this revamped Domus unique is the architectural style,” said Russo. “We managed to use original materials to reinforce and strengthen the handmade 15-meter (50ft) tall front arches (which run alongside the palace’s) ancient paving.”
It has certainly caught the public’s attention. Since reopening at the end of September, Domus Tiberiana has attracted some 400,000 visitors, a “huge success,” said Russo, adding that she believes that this incarnation of the Domus Tiberiana offers visitors the most “evocative” visit in generations.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Archaeologist and scholar of ancient Rome Giorgio Franchetti saidN that, in the reopening of the Domus Tiberiana complex, Rome has “recovered a lost jewel.”
“The Palatine Hill has always been the stage of Rome’s power politics,” he said in an interview. “Tiberius likely chose this spot to build the palace as it was where his family residence stood. There aren’t many places like the Domus Tiberiana where you can really breathe the past.”
By Silvia Marchetti.

"The outer reaches of space remain unexplored by humankind to this day, but its greed is relentless. We grasp and yearn and hunger for knowledge— answers to questions we cry out into the endless void expecting to understand, expecting the stars to respond. The stars will not, but one day something else will— and we will not like what it has to say." — Rome Solomon, Beyond the Exosphere (1965)

No no no, because I understand that it’s a camp to train demigods and everything, but why the FUCK did Jason at TWO YEARS OLD have to start training, to the point where he’s there to get an SPQR brand as a toddler! It’s not like Camp Half Blood where Annabeth arrived at 7 (also absurd but MUCH more understandable considering she was already being attacked by monsters AND that Chiron is the only real adult) Whereas New Rome HAS ADULTS!!! Married couples! Families!
I don’t care that he’s the son of Jupiter. You’re telling me NONE OF THEM took a look at a literal CHILD walking into camp and didn’t go ‘I will simply take him, this is my son now, you can have him back to train in a few years you crazies.’

today im thinking about malaria in ancient rome.
about the fact that P. falciparum (the most dangerous kind of malaria) was likely endemic at least from the 2nd century BC onward that Galen said semitertian fevers (P. falciparum infections) were more common in Rome than anywhere else in the Roman Empire that the most severe manifestations of P. falciparum (quotidian fevers + cerebral malaria) were most common in babies and young children, an epidemiological observation that indicates the transmission rate of P. falciparum was extremely high in Rome that Quintus Serenus said there was no Latin word for semitertian fevers (they used a transliteration of the Greek, 'hemitritaeos') because "no one, i think, could have named it in our language and mothers would not have wanted to"

okay but timeline-wise jason is 2 when he’s left at The Wolf House and taken in by Lupa who, and i quote, “found him and tested him on his first night there, to see if he would be a pup or food. She took him under her wing, training him, protecting him and nurturing him, but he couldn't show weakness around her or else he would be torn to shreds”
also, because he’s 16 in toa and we know he spent 12 years in the legion, he had to have joined a literal military camp at about FOUR FUCKING YEARS OLD. AFTER BEING TRAINED BY WOLVES FOR LIKE TWO YEARS. WHAT THE FUCK
Tumblr media
honestly i’m just surprised jason didn’t turn out to be wayyy more fucked up.
like he literally never got to enjoy his childhood except maybe his first like 1 1/2 years with Thalia and his mom (though his mom was kinda mentally unstable at that point) which he barely remembers. and even at camp jupiter he was always expected to lead and was treated differently for being the son of jupiter
tbh i feel like we as a fandom don’t talk about how sad his life is enough or, like, at all.
TOA SPOILERS BELOW!!!
and then he gets killed at 16? how is that fair?? he got to live a normal life for like. less than a year. immediately after he loses his best friend. and his girlfriend breaks up with him (no hate to piper tho i love her) which causes things to grow awkward with her. his only other best friend. AND HE DIES BEFORE HE CAN SEE LEO AGAIN AFTER GAEA.

Thinking about the women who weren’t aristocratic, whose lives we never hear about in the histories, and only with snide humour in the satirists.

My ideal headcanon Crowley is too stupid to realize he's in love with Aziraphale
Headcanon for Aziraphale? He knows they're in love but thinks they're on the same page about it

One thing that seems increasingly important to me is that cultures interacted a lot with each other in the past, probably way more than we give them credit for. Yes, in general, for a peasant life was in their village with occassional trips to town. But then there are also Roman merchants who travelled to India, medieval European communities in Persia and China (and their own Christian churches), Jewish cultures in India and Ethiopia, and the ethnobotanical and cultural evidence in favor of Mesoamerican-South American contact piles up so high it's hard to dismiss it. People weren't isolated, they knew what was going on in the rest of the world, even as rumors.
