okay so i’m rereading magnus chase and the sword of summer and thomas jefferson jr always confused me like… he’s not related to thomas jefferson at all. thomas jefferson isn’t his dad, his dads a god, and from what i know, his mother never had any kind of relationship with thomas jefferson. why’s he named after him?
but wait. thomas jefferson was a slaver. tj’s mom was an escaped slave.
what kind of fUCKING POWER MOVE IS THAT???
LIKE IMAGINE SEEING THIS VERY MUCH NOT WHITE BOY PROUDLY SAYING THAT HIS NAME IS THOMAS JEFFERSON JR, HEAVILY IMPLYING THOMAS JEFFERSON IS HIS PAPPY.
tj is the biggest fuck you to thomas jefferson ever. i love him.
