Why is this so cute???? I love them

The Homeric Hymn to Hermes is so fucking funny of an origin story. It really just goes

Maia sighing about this whole baby nonsense and going back to sleep: I did not ask for this

Hermes running off to kill a turtle invent a lyre and steal Apollo's cows before noon: alright good timing Apollo will notice any minute now

Maia waking up: why do you smell like beef -_-

Baby Hermes born twelve hours ago: Mom we are Not living in this cave anymore

Maia: What's this we shit you stole Apollo's cows that's a you problem get lost ! (she literally tried to kick him out of the cave right before Apollo shows up)

Apollo: Hey you ! I know you stole my cows !

Baby Hermes: ME ! But I am just a little baby in my blankies who wants my mother's milk how could I so weak and new born have stolen anything

Apollo: real babies don't talk dumbass let's go see Zeus

Zeus definitely laughing his ass off: Well Hermes what do you have to say for yourself

Hermes god of Lies: I can not tell a lie not to you who claims to be my father. Now you see I never took those cattle... across a threshold. And I will confess to my blame nesses

Zeus and Apollo very much aware he didn't swear to anything just then: Okay just show us the cows kid

Apollo walking with Hermes thirty hours old now a young boy not a baby: You are growing very fast I am actually terrified for your power when you're full grown, slayer of Argus.... don't worry about who Argus is

Hermes singing on his brand new lyre: Okay. Hey do you want this Apollo I knowww you love music

Apollo taking it: YES !

Hermes a normal amount of pleased -> literally in the text highlighted that this is the moment he started loving Apollo forever now: Okay awesome we should go tell Zeus we're besties now and you're totally cool about the cow stealing

Apollo: Yeah about that little thief. If you swear to never steal from me again I'll love you forever and hold you dear to my heart

Hermes nodding his head and very obviously avoids invoking the styx becuase you never know when you'll want to rob big brother again

Apollo: ... Good enough I promise to love you forever and give you lots of good gifts like this golden staff here enjoy !

Zeus sending his Eagle down to oversee this bond of brotherhood: Most successful sibling bonding exercise I have ever done well done Me

Hermes: I'm still going to swindle people all of the time to be clear

Apollo: I know I'm going to sing about you a lot !

Apollo, Hermes and their friendship

just saw someone say that after toa the other gods surely lost all respect for apollo and that he'll be seen as a joke

I,, strongly disagree

I don't think you guys grasp how truly impressive apollo showed himself to be in those trials

he was meant to be fully mortal, fully. It was a blatant assassination attempt

like, zeus put his all in making apollo as mortal as he could possibly be and the result was a blatant not at all

I don't understand how you can mock apollo for being weak in toa, he was meant to have no power at all, the fact he even does is a testament to his sheer inherent divinity

he had his power and memory stolen and was thrown in a situation meant to counter Specifically Him. at full power

it was unironically an Impossible task

and the fucker did it

IN SIX MONTHS!!?!

I don't think anyone had realized he was willingly crippling himself socially until he effortlessly gained the loyalty and love of everyone he met the moment he stopped holding himself back, because he was plenty liked before, he was actively trying to make himself distasteful and he was still more popular than any of them. What. A. Doozy.

Apollo was put in a situation where he had to show how much control zeus had over him when things got real and he answered that with willing himself back to divinity and sheepishly saying "none at all, really"

[always---wrong]

can you imagine the complete WHIPLASH the gods of olympus would have with post-toa apollo? apollo who's deconstructed the facade and tossed it aside? apollo who they thought they knew but are now faced with someone so strange and unfamiliar they question if they knew him at all? or did they once know him, all those years ago, but willingly forgot that part of him in favor of the front he put up? in favor of the fake because he made himself more palatable? less threatening? because remember, apollo was a beloved god, but also a silently scary god. gods quaked in his presence the first time he stepped onto olympus. why wouldn't they eagerly attach themselves to the seemingly harmless apollo, who surely is not at all dangerous anymore!

but do you see the dichotomy. the confusion. the panic, depending on which god it is?

the guilt, if it's someone close to him?

[always---wrong]

Has this been made before?

[always---wrong]

he will use every chance he gets to be a drama queen and if he doesnt have one he will create one

[always---wrong]

conceptualising brucie wayne as like…. an ominous boomer texter. he uses a lot of ellipses. never elaborates on anything. describes events in the worst ways imaginable. he texts dick ‘the plane went down. we lost tim’ (bruce forgot to pick tim up from school after lacrosse practice) and dick tries to call and ask if bruce just told him his brother?? is dead?? and bruce just keeps replying with thumbs up emojis with no context and ‘tim passed’ (his final exams)
