I'm still not sure what that "haze of roiling violet energy" Apollo mentions at the end of TON is—might be his soul or his essence or even his life force—but if it's in any way, shape or form connected to what is supposed to be his only mortal spot after he fell into the river Styx then the fact that it's located on his chest says a lot about his character

#okay listen. listen #i know that it's probably only there because that's roughly where the heart is located #which is notoriously the one organ that's associated with the soul #BUT STILL #apollo couldn't possibly have had the time to choose what his mortal spot would be #and it isn't mentioned #so it's likely that his body chose on its own #in a subconscious kind of way #and what spot would it choose—the body of someone who always sacrifices himself for others?#the body of someone who isn't afraid to show his vulnerability and is ready to risk being hurt even to save an enemy?#THE HEART #luke chose a spot that couldn't be reached without him trusting that person and allowing them to come close #a parallel to his distrust and his growing paranoia #percy chose a spot that would require someone to literally stab him in the back #a parallel to his loyalty and his fairness #and apollo chose the spot that's the easiest to reach and the most obvious #a parallel to his willingness to be hurt for the sake of others #IT'S ALL CONNECTED #trials of apollo #toa #apollo #lester papadopoulos #lonely thoughts #me: i connected the dots #y'all: you didn't connect shit
