Discussing the Courtroom No. 4 bombing incident with someone and the question of, "Who's Apollo's emergency contact?" came up.

First thought was Phoenix, of course. Current father-adjacent figure. But, he's also his boss, and their relationship during the still-recent AJAA was sort of nebulous (meaning Apollo likely wasn't rushing to put him as his contact.)

So, who else. Well, we have Clay, and he looked up to/was generally connected to Starbuck. Both make a fair amount of sense! But, at the time of the bombing, one is dead and the other is arrested. So, that'd be a miserable situation.

My favorite idea that came out of this, though, was having Kristoph as his contact. Maybe Apollo had him as it before the guy was arrested and everything, and just sort of forgot to change it. The hospital tries to call the guy, but he's in jail/dead... so they move on to his closest relative. Being Klavier.

I interrupt everything to post this haha. This is very random but this is one of the small scenes between Kara and Lee that I find so stinking cute. I lowkey forgot about it until I re-watched the show for the second time and I had actually laughed out loud at it because I initially found it to be so dorky/cringey of Lee to do. And I'll still admit, it is, with yk the typical "after you" thing, but I definitely find it a lot more cute now especially with Kara's expression and smile. I was literally gushing over it as I made this gif the other night (an embarrassing amount- I'm okay I promise...) but just like everything about it ugh. It's such a small and mundane gesture but just gah, he's a gentleman ❤️❤️

The way Lee turns and looks directly at her, holding his gaze steady on her as he says it. The way he says it too almost like he's flirting. The way he doesn't care that the President and his father are literally right next to her. The way she meets his gaze for a moment and then smiles so excitedly yet softly like she just got a compliment from her crush (ofc half of that is also because they just found the Tomb of Athena but like come on you can't tell me that that smile was only because of that and Lee's gesture had nothing to do with it). Just ugh. This is such an underappreciated moment between them and it's so cute.

That is all, I just wanted to take a moment to gush about them ❤️

PIRATE PERCY JACKSON!!!!!!!!!

boycott disney!!! cancel your disney+ subscription!!!! disney gave $2,000,000,000 to israel. disney is one of the 3 biggest boycott targets. rick riordan has also used his platform to make a VERY dangerous “neutral” statement on the palestinian genocide. disney is banking on this show bring in massive money. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY. i don’t want to see anyone who says free palestine continuing to legally watch this show.

i’ve been waiting for this show since i was in middle school. pjo has been a major hyperfixation and one of my special interests for years. i adore it so much. and as much as i love the actors, i will no longer be promoting the show in any way. i don’t want anything to encourage people to give disney money. peoples lives and freedom are obviously far more important than a tv show.

Apollo isn't quite sure what he needs to do for love, but that's never stopped him before. (An examination of the significant ties Apollo Justice has made throughout his entire life... and how they affected him.)

Battlestar Galactica x The Odyssey

15 - The Opera House as Olympus

The home of the eternal Greek gods who watch, discuss, argue over, and meddle in the lives and affairs of humans, such as Odysseus and his crew.

Locations in Battlestar Galactica as stops in the Odyssey. Quotes are from the Robert Fagles or Emily Wilson translations, depending on what I thought fit best.

In Spirit of Justice, we learn that Apollo, as a kid, was "a rascal". And it's coming from Datz, a certified rascal himself.

So, how to we go from a troublemaker to the still cheerful but serious 20 years old Apollo ?

A first easy answer is : he grew up.

Then, being sent overseas, in a country he never been to, with nobody he knows, separated from his family, must have done a trick on the kid.

But I think another reason could be Clay.

A friend his age who lost his mom, distressed and very upset, navigating a new world that Apollo know too well. Maybe he became an orphan that day. I interprete the line "Everybody has a mother, why am I the only one who doesn't?" two way :

- He only lost his mother.

- He never had a father, or lost him early on. And he mostly see his classmates with their mom, but not so much with their dad. Single/stay at home mothers are more common than single/stay at home fathers after all (even tho, in the AA univers, we see more single dads. Maybe I'm reaching a little).

(I think the first option is the most likely, but I personally go with the second)

Some fans thinks his father was distant after that incident or that he died some times after.

Either way, Apollo helped him througt it, especially if he did became an orphan, and had to go to an orphenage or foster family. Maybe they start living as roomates in middle school in a way.

Apollo quickly matured so Clay wouldn't have to. He did like Nahyuta; he is the big brother in this situation, he took responsability and looked after him.

Another thing to add is that Clay lived a "normal" childhood, he didn't had to hunt for his food or hide in the sewers. He was "soft" compare to an already toughen up Apollo. Also, while Apollo arrived in Japanifornia alone, Clay had his best friend guiding him and Mr. Starbuck around.
