#HEADCANON : asclepius

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

immortal apollo kids headcanons!

this is specifically for the rrverse versions of Apollo's immortal kids! but feel free to think about it in the mythology context too! :3

Hymenaeus

still has a room in Apollo's palace

still sleeps in it

but he also has a room in Eros's because he's an Erote

this makes for some awkward situations when Apollo and/or Eros have to go to the other's place to grab him for something or other

they basically share custody of him

divorced dads behavior

when he was little he tried to get people to marry his dad because he reeeally wanted to plan his dad's wedding

technically, he succeeded, because he was the one who made Apollo/Cyrene's marriage official XD

his hair is fluffy like a sheep's fluff. also somewhere between strawberry-blonde and a very light amber. and reaches to just under his chin. don't forget the floppiness tho >:3

has his dad's bright blue eyes

LOVES his dad's swans. and corvids. he loves birds.

probably because he also has wings

wings are brilliantly white with a soft pink and gold flush

never looks older than 16

many of the other Erotes find Apollo hot. Hymen is distinctly horrified to know this.

Himeros: Your dad's a DILF

Hymen: a what?

Anteros: don't you dare-

Himeros: A Dad I'd Like to FUCK-

Hymen: *much screaming*

Ialemus

also still has a room in Apollo's palace

as a matter of fact, he still lives in said room

his room is also in apollo's basement (he wanted it there)

he is the emo kid. but he's also not necessarily antisocial

he just likes his solitude. and honestly, mood

imagine dragons is a favorite band. and hozier. he likes "slower" songs as well as sad ones

has Apollo's long hair, but in a very dark brown

has vivid green eyes. like radioactive ones.

likes ponytails

cows are his favorite animal

they are calm creatures he can ramble too so he likes them

knows a lot about things. comes with listening rather than talking ;)

WILL infodump

Apollonides

these girls are the PARTY KIDS

they are the ones throwing parties in their dad's house at 2 am

they also still live in Apollo's palace

frequent clubs and discos; can be seen at concert venues and are in many of the big city concerts (ie, Las Vegas, Madrid, Vienna, ect.)

Borysthenis is the 'oldest' (Hypatē - the lowerest & first string on the lyre); has curly brown hair and dark green eyes

Apollonis is the 'middle' (Mesē - the middle string); has Apollo's blonde hair, but straight, and dark eyes (crow-like, even... >;3)

and Cephisso is the 'youngest' (Nētē - the highest string); has poofy black hair and silvery-blue eyes

Hypatē has a comfy sort of style, such as sweaters and sandals

Mesē likes to wear aesthetically dark clothes with silver accents

Nētē wears blouses and loose jackets

one time they highjacked the sun chariot and got away with it by pulling the puppy eyes

they have demigod children in CHB

Asclepius

the baby

died at 15- still treated like he's 10

snuck onto the Argo mission at 13

Idmon and Orpheus played pass the babysitter with Jason

He kicked Heracles in the shins once for "trying to steal my dad's stuff!!"

Atalanta and Asclepius were buddies

The Boreads played games with him to keep him occupied

went on the Calydonian Boar Hunt to make sure Atalanta didn't 1) hurt herself; or 2) kill someone

he grew up in the beginning stages of CHB

in 'camp' with him were: Jason (the oldest), Atalanta (raised by bears), and Hippolytus (it was his boarding school).

Theseus dropped by sometimes and Asclepius was able to smuggle his way into his belongs so he could visit Athens. just because :)

Jason and Atalanta freaked out and they and Hippolytus went on a 'quest' to find him

Phoebe the hunter is his favorite sister

he befriends snakes quickly

he died at 15

his death pushed Phoebe into distancing herself from her other siblings

when he was resurrected, he wasn't allowed to see Apollo

his only visitors in his prison medical school is his wife and children. he hasn't seen or heard from his father or any sibling in centuries.

has his mother's shiny black hair but his father's curls as well as his bright blue eyes

Aristaeus

the REAL baby

has anxiety

severe imposter syndrome

pov: all your siblings are great and wonderful and accomplished people. and you made cheese and honey :)

mom and dad were very proud of u ofc but you feel like you didn't even do much

especially when your cool older brother went on the Argo mission even though he knew he would die (RIP Idmon)

gets easily defensive over agriculture (specifically the innovations and how they have taken over the Good Ol' Days's way aka his way)

(he got that from his dad <3)

he also got his dad's blonde hair, but in a honey tone. his skin tone is also darker and closer in shade to Cyrene's

makes really good charcuterie boards

hangs out in the Midwest

visits his mom in Cyrene, Libya (he is a good son ty)

(ironically) mice are his favorite from his dad's sacred animals

he hates locusts though

don't u love it that apollo's number is 7 and he has 7 immortal kids...

[mrkeatingsblazer]

Fanfictions make you a freak. Like how do I explain that I ship Thanatos with Asclepius bc of a Hades and Apollo venture to Tartarus instead of Solangelo fanfic

[amiti-art]

ToA Headcanon

At same point during Apollo's trials (or after them) Hera and Leto reconciled.

I think that best moment for that is after Jason's death.

After Hera saw how her husband did nothing to save his own son, her own chosen one. After she saw how little he cared for his life. How when she cried and grived, he sat at his throne unmoved and unbotherd, annoyed by her tears.

How he did nothing when Apollo, his godly son, his fellow Olympian, tried to kill himself so his friends, demigods, could live.

That was Hera's breaking point. When she finally admitted to herself that her anger was always misplaced. It was not her husband's bastard children she should hate but Zeus himself. She always knew that, deep down in her cold, broken heart. But it was easier to go after weak mortal women, nymphs or minor godesses. It was easier to go after defenseless innocent children who didn't asked to be born.

She was always doing that because she could not go against her husband, her king.

The same way Apollo went after cyclops when it was Zeus who killed Asclepius, Apollo's beloved child, because it was easier, safer.

So Hera, heartbroken after Jason's death, haunted by image of Apollo lying on the floor, bleading to death with an arrow in his chest, went to see Leto.

Because Leto would understand her pain as she was also suffering. Because Leto needed comfort as much as Hera did. Because they were friends once, before the Twins were born. Because Hera after over 4000 years finally understood that she had to apologize.

And maybe Leto wasn't ready to forgive her yet, but when she saw queen's pained face she knew that no one could understand her better right now, so she let her stay by her side for moment. One mother greaving the child that was wasn't even hers and one mother who could lost hers at any moment now, both longing for comfort when the father of both sons sat unbotherd on his throne while his childern were suffering and dying.

Maybe I'm giving Hera to much credit here but those 2 scenes she had in ToN are so heartbreaking to me. Come on, how many gods openly cries and mourns for their children? And Jason wasn't even hers. Nor is Apollo, but she was the one to tell everyone to shut tf up when they started to discuss who could become an Olympian in his place after he dies.

[audreyscribes]

Hi, how are you? May I pick your brain. What do you think about Aristaeus and Asclepius having demigods. And the relationship between the Apollo cabin and them.

Hey tydye! Oooh, just as I was doing some research on them! I won’t go too much in depth cause I do have plans for them but I’m still doing some reviewing and researching on these two gods. 

For Asclepius and his demigods, I thought he wouldn’t have demigods but after some reviewing it does seem like he does have demigods and legacy children, so there’s that! Otherwise, they’re constantly at the Apollo cabin or dealing with a constant flow of patients. Asclepius is the god of Medicine, Healing, rejuvenation, and Physicians, so his demigods are more adept at making medicine and medicinal knowledge; then say the Apollo children who are more adept at doing first aid and general medical application.

The workload in Camp concerning health is going to be more easily disrupted because the Apollo children don’t have to lead everything under the sun, and the distribution of medicine and getting the right cure is going to be handed over to the children of Asclepius. I would say there’s always a child of Apollo and a child of Asclepius on duty call at least moving forward. 

For Aristaeus; the god of useful arts, including beekeeping and cheese making, olive growing, herding, and hunting, Aristaeus’ demigods may not seem to be the most exciting demigods at camp but by gods, they are going to be running Camp. They’re just like the Hermes demigods, where they are the definition of “jack of all trades”, with a hard emphasis on ‘TRADES’ concerning a skill. 

You’re going to see them literally around camp, doing beekeeping with the satyrs and nymphs that help pollinate the strawberry fields, which in turn creates honey that they can sell, make into Ambrosia, or make sweets like Bavlaka, making candles etc.  You’re going to make Cheese which is, once they get cows somehow, then that’s going to explode. Though the topic of goat cheese reaches Mr. D’s ears, and he’s going to demand he gets the first taste of every batch of goat cheese as an offering before they can sell it. (Alright whichever Apollo demigod, muse, or whichever god rat me out 👀)

𝔸𝕕𝕖𝕡𝕥𝕦𝕤 ℂ𝕦𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕕𝕖𝕤:

Celsus(Shadow Keeper):

Celsus is a quiet one. In fact, most of these Custodes are. Though, Celsus usually gets to you first, staining your sensitive walls with his seed. He’ll groan like a phantom when he does, looking down at your overly sensitive form. His hands massaging your thighs as he angles you to where his cum pools above your folds. His cock still twitching inside of you.

“Throne, little one, let me cum inside of you once more.”

Atlas(Aquilan Shield):

Atlas is always around, it how you get double penetration sometimes. It’s also how you get pinned in semi-public places. Atlas preferably likes to take you alone, but when you call for him? He is there, ready to provide for you. Ready to stuff you so full of him, that his cum coats the inside of your thighs and drips from your hole; onto the dirty ground. You’ll have to completely rely on him to protect you, to take care of you and take you back home when you tap out.

“Shhhh, little one. You called for me, let me take care of you.”

Pythios(Dread Host):

Pythios wouldn’t hesitate to put you in your place and he won’t stop until you tell him to, or if you are too cock drunk on him, they have enough (a lot) of logic to stop. Though, when stuffing you, he’s a “little” messy. His cum creating a milky web between your thighs, folds and his cock, but he likes to clean you up afterwards whether by tongue or cloth. He also likes how exhausted you look by his cock that still rests inside of you, cockwarming you.

“You are stubborn, little one. Let me take care of that.”

Horos(Solor Watch):

Horos is the kind one, always watching from a distance, but when it’s his moment to stuff you he’s pulling you into a mating press. His form curling around you as both of your thighs are covered with his cum. Yet again, he doesn’t stop until you tap out. So the squelch of each thrust is audible around you when you whine and clench around him so deliciously.

“Please, little one, let me fill your needs.”

Sabinus(Emissary Imperatus):

Sabinus is the first one to know of your needs before you do and his brethren, he’s already providing for you. His cock inching between your cum coated folds with a squelch. Your hands gripping up at his shoulders, clawing, squeezing at him as you feel so full of him, so full of his seed. The sheets will smell like him, even after you wash them.

“Good little one. You are doing so well.”

𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜 𝔸𝕟𝕘𝕖𝕝:

Ruslan:

Ruslan would put you in an angle and tie you up at his mercy to mate press you and nuzzle at your neck, loving your scent while he’s stuffing you over and over again. It felt oh so sinful of him, but he can’t stop. You smell so good, look so good with his cum staining your fluttering walls. He just has to fill you up, inhale your scent to make you all his all over again.

“You are my sin, Маленькой ангел(Little angel.)”

𝔼𝕞𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕠𝕣𝕤 ℂ𝕙𝕚𝕝𝕕𝕣𝕖𝕟:

Ambrosius:

Ambrosius is going to have you tied to the bed. He isn’t taking his chances when you left him with a note the first time you’ve met. You are staying and taking his cock, his seed. He’ll continue to paint your walls until you are babbling at him, mewling at him. Unable to say anything as he takes in the scene before him with his eyes. His cum continuously leaking down his cock from your hole and onto his balls.

“Mmmm, I’m going to love to paint, to fill you, petite rose(little rose.)”

𝕊𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕝𝕧𝕖𝕤:

Lycus:

Lycus loves to curl around you and put you up into a mating press. Biting and nipping at you while driving his cock through your slick folds at an eager pace. Loving the feeling of his cum squelching around his cock while he breeds you. He can’t help, but latch onto your shoulder every time he pumps your womb full of his future pups.

“Throne, you tease me with that fertile hole of yours, Little wolf.”

𝔹𝕝𝕠𝕠𝕕 𝔸𝕟𝕘𝕖𝕝𝕤:

Amadeus:

Amadeus is a little tricky one, but every once in a blood moon he has you stuffed to the brim with his cum. His long life of not having to rail his little bonded hitting him like The Red Thirst. He’ll put you in a mating press and bite into your shoulder, the wicked combo making his eyes flutter and his cock twitch to fill you up the upteenth time this… day? Week?

“Vita mea(My life), please, stay still. I only wish to bring you my pleasure upon you.”

𝕀𝕣𝕠𝕟 ℍ𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕤:

Sviatoslav:

Sviatoslav will stuff you so good you won’t remember what the hell happened before he railed you. You’ll be cockdrunk and cockwarmed through his process of stuffing you and he knows all the best way to make you cum more than him. Don’t try to get him to stuff you either, he’s the one controlling this, alright?

“Stop fighting me, Маленький целитель.(little healer).”

𝕎𝕠𝕣𝕝𝕕 𝔼𝕒𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤:

Spartak:

Spartak can be brutal if he wants to be. Especially when you run away from him. He’ll overstimulate you so badly with his cock you don’t even know what world you were in, you keep fading in and out. Your tears of pleasure blurring your vision. Not to mention that the nest is a mess. Covered in his semen, including you. You’re covered, filled with his seed, his scent. So, if you go off running on him again they will know who you belong to and you won’t get away so easily from him.

“Stop running away from me, Маленький мир(little world.)”

𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕥𝕙 𝔾𝕦𝕒𝕣𝕕:

Blasius:

Blasius loves to breed you. He wants to see you swollen, round, and pregnant with his seed after each round he puts you through. He’ll desperately try and keep you stuffed by shoving putting his tentacles in your fertile hole or even angling you downwards in order to keep his seed inside of you, and if some leaks out? No matter, he still has plenty more to give you.

“Just one more little mate, just one more, you can do it.”

𝕎𝕠𝕣𝕕 𝔹𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕖𝕣𝕤:

Rasul & Zazir:

Rasul & Zazir are always together and they will worship you together. Massaging your sensitive skin, your chest, your wet folds. Have their lips on you at all times. Nibbling and sucking on those breasts of yours, hoping to gain your essence from them and from your generous core they have stained with their endless corruption.

“Let’s us worship you, little habibti. You have done so much already, relax.”

𝕊𝕒𝕝𝕒𝕞𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕤:

Dorvenos:

Dorvenos will stuff you upon order, upon asking him. Will keep thrusting up inside of you until the folds of your core a milky. Until you tell him to stop, but he will encourage you to take more of his seed. You just look so beautiful with his cum staining your overly sensitive skin. So radiant with the bulge of his cock stuffing you more than his own cum.

“Moje Zlato(My gold), you’re stuffed full of me, think you can handle another one?”

𝕄𝕦𝕝𝕥𝕚:

Hydra(Alpha Legion):

Hydra a tricky one too, more so on the trickster side of himself. He’ll mate press, bite, cockwarm and suck on those tiddys of yours, but he can unpredictable about it. Not so much so that he is stuffing your pretty little hole with his cock, just the random sensations and pace of his are wild on you. It feels like he’s needy, but at the same time it feels controlled. Well… your orgasms are, not so much of his.

Man is not talking, he’s too busy biting you at random times.

Asclepius(Alpha Legion):

Sweet Asclepius is suckling on your breasts and flicking the nubs with his tongue. Hoping to get a drink from them as he deeply rails against you. His cum pooling around your *ss. His eyes fluttering closed as he gets pussydrunk on you. He won’t stop however, but it definitely makes you feel like you ate a full course meal.

“Little serpent, rest. Let me do all the work for you.”

Leviathan(Alpha Legion):

Leviathan can be feral when it comes to stuffing you full with his cum. Especially in the shower or any body of water. He loves how his cum mixes with the water and dribbles down your leg. How his cum moves around your walls because his cock is too much for you, but he still stuffs you, breeds you like he’s in his damn element, gaining energy from the water.

Doesn’t speak either, but he’s definitely hissing, groaning and moaning in your ear.

Solor(Gray Knight):

Solor is on it. He never misses an opportunity to rail you when he can. To have you so full of his cum that you look pregnant before you even are actually pregnant. Surprisingly he is not messy about it, he somehow keeps the sticky mess controlled, but you are cumming with him each time he cums. This Gray Knight is passionatly and keenly breeding you to his home planet Titan.

“Throne, you are my grace, little maiden.”

Xerxes(Ultramarine):

Xerxes is also on it. One kinky Ultramarine. Would take you anywhere besides public. He has enough decency to know some boundaries. Though, without public eye he is breeding you at every angle and he gets to stuff you? Wave your vacation leave goodbye! You put him in a rut-like position where he overstimulates you until you are limp in his arms and he still uses you as a fleshlight. Every place you fuck is clearly left with a mess. You are so lucky he’s an Ultramarine.

“Take it, Sargent. Yes, there we go, such a good girl~”

The way this unlocked so many possibilities for me what. THATS GENIUS. (I see you op I see you. Asclepius? Greek God of healing? Snakes?) Dare I say Will Solace singing to snakes (like Lucy Gray in TBOTSBAS) + imagine HP! Will Solace a 4th year Hufflepuff knowing how to speak Parseltongue.

Will headcanon time!!

So, you know how Will specialises in Healing? and how the Snake is the symbol for healing?

I headcanon WIll absolutely loves snakes, and can understand them. And snakes love him.

So just imagine one morning Will and Nico were walking peacefully in the woods yk sappy teenage couple things. And Nico finds a snake, he shows it to Will and the snake just slithers up to Will, Will holds out his hand and the snake just latches himself onto Will, Nico makes a joke saying "i think he likes you" and Will stares him dead in the eye and goes "She said shes a girl," and then Will explains how he can understand snakes, with snakes being the symbol of healing.

[anotheroceanid]

Fellow Athenide enjoyers, hear me out!!!

I have this headcanon (but also kind of canon if I’m not mistaken) in the riordanverse that the myths that we got to know as “more likely to be truth” not necessarily are the ones that are true, but the ones who got better PR. For example, in WTHB Rhode is known as daughter of Amphitrite even though she’s Aphrodite’s (because she had a huge fight with her mom over Helios and ever since she doesn’t wants to be remembered as her daughter). In canon (again, if I’m not mistaken) I’m 99% sure that Hephaestus says something about Hera making everyone believe that Zeus was the one to throw him down Olympus.

Btw, THIS ALL TO SAY

Yk how there are those shady, lesser known myths/mysteries/poems? WHAT IF, hear me out and walk with me, there is at least one of those who represent Apollo and Perse as a married couple??? In this version, Asclepius could even be their biological son.

Like, maybe Apollo wrote a few things in his manifestation diary and it got in the hands of a mortal who took it a little too seriously 😂😂😂

My boy didn’t know where to hide himself when Perse started to receive prayers that called her his wife, but he also didn’t do anything to stop it.

Ik that Athena and Poseidon did their best to destroy every evidence of it, but something must’ve survived.

[freddie-77-ao3]

just so yall know i headcanon that prior to percy's cabin deal, minor gods would trade favours with olympians to get their kids into other cabins.

for example, Asclepius would have Apollo claim his kids,

Peitho would trade favours with Aphrodite,

Amphitrite/Triton/Kym would have Poseidon claim their kids (before the oath at least),

Ariadne's kids obviously went to dionysus' cabin,

phobos/deimos kids went to ares cabin, etc

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

working an 8-hour shift at night sure does wonders for the creativity

anyway, so you know Apollo & Cyrene, right? And you know how they essentially eloped and are technically married even though Apollo is widely considered to be an eternal bachelor?

I had a THOUGHT about this :D

*slams hands on table*

Y'all know Hymenaeus, right? Son of Apollo & Calliope, full-brother of Ialemus, and one of the Erotes. He's the god of marriage ceremonies/hymns.

I once saw a headcanon here on tumblr that Hymenaeus got really sad when he found out his parents weren't going to get married, so he started randomly asking people if they'd like to marry his dad.

Enter Stage Left: Cyrene

Picture this-

Apollo and Cyrene chilling in Libya, when Hymenaeus pops outta no where and excitedly asks; "WILL YOU MARRY MY DAD?"

And Cyrene, thinking this is funny and kind of a joke question, is like "haha, sure. why not."

"DAD. WOULD YOU MARRY HER."

And Apollo, half-used to these questions, just absently shrugs and is like "yeah i guess so."

"COOL." *bam* "You're married now :)"

"Wait what."

Now considering traditional Greek marriages, Apollo & Cyrene aren't married in the typical way/sense, but more so because Hymenaeus Says So.

This was spawned because I'm aware that Apollo has been married in the myths (Cyrene) but also he's not, because, from my understanding, it's because his marriages are more metaphorical in nature. So he's married to the Muses in this sense, as well as Cyrene, but also not.

I'm getting queer-platonic-but-also-not-platonic vibes from this haha! They love each other, that's all that matters, and Hymenaeus know this too :3

(I think Hymenaeus is more relaxed about extramarital affairs, especially considering in Ancient Greece it was quite normal for guys to be married and have affairs. It's slightly different for gods, too, because goddesses can have affairs (ie, how Orpheus was born) so I think Hymenaeus would be chill with that.)

anyway, now to meme this:

Aristaeus, snickering: So does that mean I'm the legitimate son-

Hymenaeus, Ialemus, and Asclepius, all older than him: SHUT

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

accepted

No, listen, you don’t understand, this line haunts me. Why is this never picked back up?? Did anyone actually tell Apollo that his son said this???? Apollo met with all three people who were in this room, did any of them pass the message on??? If so, why don’t we see it???? Actually, why is Asclepius barely mentioned AT ALL in ToA???????? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ASCLEPIUS???????

[amiti-art]

Camp Half-Blood/Cabin 7 Headcanon

When a child of Asclepius arrives at camp they stay at Apollo's Cabin instead of Hermes'

This doesn't happen often, Asclepius doesn't have many demigod childern (we know of only one - Pranjal and he is at Camp Jupiter). But when Asclepius have a Greek demigod child, after they get claimed they go to Cabin 7.

It was Apollo's idea. He didn't want his beloved son's children to be forced into spending their time in the camp's most overcrowded Cabin.

Also, this works both pre and post "The Last Olympian" because Asclepius still doesn't have a cabin.

Bonus points: Apollo campers could joke about being aunts and uncles of Asclepius campers

"You're my favourite niece." said Apollo's kid to a 3 years older Asclepius' kid

[thealtoduck]

Hey imagine being son of Asclepius (PJO) I think it could be a fun headcanon

For context: Asclepius is the god of medicine, healing, rejuvenation and physicians.

I feel like it’d just be the thankless version of being a son of Apollo. Yk like playing healer in Overwatch but in real life.

Because of the disregard of minor gods and goddesses and their half-blood kids actually being important, most campers would just assume it’s the Apollo kids who do all the healing, meanwhile the son of Asclepius is just there like 🧍‍♂️

I feel like the son of Asclepius would be suprinsingly violent, but not because he enjoys violence. His patience just keeps being tested by complaints, minor injuries and lack of appreciation to the point where he needs it as a release for his anger.

Asclepius cabin has a built in smash room, just to take out his frustrations.

Despite all this the son of Asclepius is geniunely a really kind person tho, he does what he does because he cares about the well being of the other campers.

And no suprise he has healing powers and knows a few healing spells, as well as having a aptitude for medcine and nursing.

——

*After the Son of Asclepius heals a campers broken arm, while Will was in the room.

Camper: Wow, my arm healed, thanks Will

Son of Asclepius:

Will (who did nothing): Oh! Actually I didn’t-

*The camper runs of before they can clear it up*

Son of Asclepius, completely pissed: *picks up a baseball bat* You know what! I’m tired of this! I’m breaking his arm again!

Will: *grabs Son of Asclepius* No! Please!

[mrsoftthoughts]

Headcanon that when a Demigod child of a minor deity without a cabin make it to camp, depending of their godly parent ,some cabins are allowed to have them as a temporary guests instead of the hermes cabin ultil the cabin is designed and build up, or straight up as residents if both the child parent and the god of the cabin are ok with that ( prob because the minor god has a kid every milenia and when this one left, the new cabin would be more useless than the hera one)

And yeah, this is just an excuse for me to make Nico having as roommates the childs of his godly siblings and his brother in law ( the hypnos cabin fight for be the ones that should have the child of Thanatos btw)

And the Apollo cabin just messing around with the kids of Asclepius Aristaios and the apollonides (and maybe the nine muses ones too I'm not sure)

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

LOST IT AT MAFIA XD

on the topic of people wondering What The Fuck Is Up with This Guy my friend knows (TOA Apollo), Asclepius having to explain his father to anyone is. Oh boy.

You could say Asclepius lives on Earth / visits Earth much more than he does Olympus because his domain is completely and wholly centred around serving people and helping medical research come through. Additionally because he still finds Olympus and all of its posturing jarring, and maybe finds comfort in helping people like he used to and has done since ancient times.

THIS COULD ALSO MEAN that he has. Mortal friends. Which also means he’s had to have told them about his dad at some point.

Asclepius’s friend: How come we haven’t met your dad yet? Is he a prick? Asclepius: NO, no, my father was and is very kind and gentle to me, the problem is more that he can be rather… a bit much. He sometimes tends to be very… protective (VERY protective) of me (As in, the police get called). The problem is more that he can get a bit. Uppity? sometimes? He’s certainly been… cruel. More than his, or anyone’s, fair share of cruelty. But he’s improving? Asclepius’s friend: Oh wow. That sounds really complicated. Well what about your mother? Asclepius: WELL. YOU SEE. AH. OH GODS UHHHHHH-

They would think he’s a gang leader (or something)! Because:

Had Asclepius’ mother killed (?!?! THAT’S HORRIBLE WHAT!)

Has deep, deep regrets and remorse about having Asclepius’ mother killed but in a very “I was young, foolish and failed to think of anyone other than myself… I have worked with violence for a long, long time and have made many horrible, cruel decisions… I fear I am too long gone… but I wish to work with myself to be a better person, for my son whom I love dearly…” kind of way (in a mafia movie way).

Asclepius is in exile from his supposedly-infamously murderous family because they tried to kill him (and succeeded but SHHHHHH). And the one to order his death being his grandfather. Because he (vague conclusion through Asclepius being vague about his life) didn’t want someone to die -> didn’t want to kill someone? (“The pipeline is there!!” They say.)

Apollo going “ah yes I too share a great interest in medicine, like my dear son! Although my son is (proudly!) better at so than I am. Well, admittedly, I can sometimes tend to be, less focused on - y’know, helping someone injuries hurt less, you could say.” LIKE THAT’S. VERY SUSPICIOUS.
