Trials of Apollo is a series Rick Riordan wrote (Percy Jackson) it comes after the Heroes of Olympus series. Its fricking amazing. I love it. It's my favorite pjo series.

Its plot is basically that Apollo gets sent down as a mortal again by Zeus and he has to complete a bunch of trials before he can become a God again. Along the way there's a lot of self-discovery and character growth and it's really really good.

Im convinced Apollo is actually talented at literally everything, it's just that in Toa he's somehow convinced himself that he's bad at everything.

Meg humbles him cause she knows anyone with that much talent and skill would have a giant ego. Most of the time.

She doesn't fully realize he freaking hates himself.

That's my hc that's basically at least half canon.

Leo and Apollo, my beloved underrated duo

imagine:

leo arguing back to hera, like he is not treating her with respect that one should with a literal goddess because all he can see is his tia and nanny who took care of him when he was kid and who harasses him in his dreams(hc)

everyone is expecting him to get smited or atleast cursed but she just. lets him pass. threatening him but never actually acting on it

also:

leo forgetting that apollo is a whole god and not just a family friend that just stays and vists his house sometimes

he’s like ‘oh this? Me and apollo made each other friendship bracelets :)’ and the new campers(or just campers) are just ‘did you just say apollo….?’ or smth alike to that

EXACTLY HOW I PICTURE YOUNG APOLLO!! This is amazing

I like to think that Apollo's socialization skills were something he learned gradually over the centuries

So when he was younger he was simply 🕴 in the corner

But because he was good looking they all let it pass until he learned 🤷‍♂️

Upon the discussion of toa having the best fandom ever,

I think what really helps to is that there's lore in our history. Greek mythology is already built into our culture and it can inspire creativity. We take a mythology class? Our little guys are mentioned. And we can look at stories of the gods and just put it into canon and we can talk about it. Which I think automatically means this fandom uplifts learning and education. Cause the more we learn the more we have to play with. We have thousands of years of history to play with and it's exciting.

Also, Apollo is fun to torture so there is that.

after months of observation I just came to a realization that riordanverse fanfic writers who almost exclusively write only about TOA are one of the best writers in the fandom ever. Their understanding of the series? Excellent. Their characterization? Fucking marvelous. The plot? Top notch. All of them are unproblematic (as in no blindly bashing characters) and just like to rant about anything and everything. I would die for them genuinely I love you guys so much

Yes yes yes yes yes. Is he masking? Constantly performing? Simply surviving? The world's best conman whose only con is that he's hiding his true personality?

Is he the product of being forced to mold his personality into something he's not for hundreds of years?

All correct.

The world’s greatest actor by milk in the microwave is sooooooooo pjo! Apollo btw it's crazy

OH that what you meant! I like I like

hermes: I'm sooo low maintenance. apollo hates how little it takes for me to be happy

dio: nothing wrong with keeping it simple but you could at least add a bed (why is apollo always the bus driver all of a sudden with you????)

hermes: ...

hermes: I don't deserve a bed.

The lyric 'makes excuses for throbbing black bruises' immediately made me think of the physical abuse Zeus enacts on Apollo and the gaslighting Zeus surely uses. It makes me hate him just a bit more

thermodynamic lawyer esq is kind of a (rrverse!!) zeus @/apollo song to me

it just reads like someone describing apollo in the ugliest bitterest most deliberately negative way possible to me

^^^ for example this is soooo about his prophecy powers

post toa, he sees him as manipulating the narrative and playing the long game and framing things to deliberately make him look bad

and he sees him as having no clue of what he's truly doing breaking (important!!) things in this temper tantrum

I mean c'mon
