[pain-is-too-tired]

the thing is with apollo is that it makes sense he never touches on his grief in depth or more than he has to. because if you noticed, apollo narrates in a way that actively tries to get the reader to dislike or be annoyed with him via setting himself up with over-the-top dramatics or somehow getting them to pin blame onto him. his actual pain and suffering are often put aside to push his “anti-apollo” agenda, and apollo often is nuanced in a way where his flaws are completely exposed. touching upon his children’s death puts apollo in a sympathetic light (because he literally lost his kids in a situation completely out of his hand, no amount of reaching will actually make him be the bad guy) and exposes too much of who he really is, and therefore does not work for apollo’s purpose of antagonizing himself. (plus other reasons i don’t readily prepared)

Fair enough. Still feels wierd that he doesn't even casually think of them in some way. Or that we don't even get vague hints of their previous existence at camp. Especially in the cabin. Even if we didn't get Apollo fully grieving them, seeing evidence of the other three having grieved would been interesting. Or just vague hints of it.

I do kinda like hc of when children of Apollo grieve hard enough Hythcinths or some other plant related to Apollo's own grief grew around them. Would've been cool if the Hythcinths they had in the windowsill were ones that grew around the cabin after BoM. Something like that.

Idk. Feels wierd that we didn't even get hardly anything about any other children of Apollo in Toa. Even if small.

Like-fun fact- Chiron raised Asclepious! Would been sweet if they had small lighthearted chat about Asclepious as a Lil kid. Especially when later on they mention the story of his mother. Just small things like that :3

Staring directly into the sun to try and intimidate Apollo into either revealing that this is indeed a prophecy or into making it one (call up ya boi asclepious and pull some god of medicine and sickness strings)

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real

There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations

Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that

The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.

There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)

The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.

Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.

Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

We made it to the blue zone! We’re staying in Atheras Hotel which prides itself on relexation and amusement! Its name is derived from the highest mountain of Ikaria, found close by the city of Evdilos. Close by is the village port of Evdilos which serves as a great means of transportation alongside many places to grab coffee and drinks and even taste traditional meals with incredible views overlooking the water.

Aside from getting a chance to see the beautiful city of Evdilos, we also had the opportunity to visit Ikaria’s capital city of Agios Kirykos, or just Agios to the locals. Due to the distance between cities and the vast majority of people coming into Agios, most public services, schools, and the hospital are concentrated in this one area. It’s one of the two main ports and houses roughly 3,000 people. All the villages of the island form the municipality of Ikaria.

The capital was formed in the 16th or 17th century. Its patron saint is Saint Kirykos and its beautiful, blue-domed church stands tall just above the harbour. Walking towards the harbor, you could see the modernist metal statue depicting Icarus with his wings, the Ikariada.

A folklore museum depicts everyday life, relics of wars and events from ancient times until now. All exhibits are islander-donated. The other museum, the archaeological museum, used to be a high school building, but is now a staple for the city.

Houses are located in close to each other, following the traditional island architecture, with tall blue or red window frames. The structure of the town could be described as dense, amphitheatrical, with narrow cobbled alleys. The town square consists of a marble monument to Ikarian heroes, with a fountain at its base. The hot spring of Asclepious, once referred to as Moustafa, is near the central square. People from all around the world seek this bathouse and Ikaria's other springs to meet their therapeutic needs. Asclepious Spring emerges from the sea and people swim nearby it to take advantage of its radium content without having to take a traditional bath.

Looking out into the horizon, individuals can see the Ikarian Sea, the islands of Patmos, Fourni, and Samos, and on occasion, even the coast line of Turkey. In addition to the view, visitors and locals alike can enjoy shops, taverns, coffee shops and bars all surrounded by a gorgeous view.

"All the kids Apollo raises turn out feral. It's just how it is"

"That's not true" Apollo glared

"Hermes and Asclepious? "

Apollo went silent, forcing back a laugh

"Who's Asclepious? " Audrey asked

"One of my other demigod children..... "

"Basically he pissed off Hades by bringing people back from the dead" Artemis explained

".... Your kids can do that? " Audrey looked at Apollo. He shrugged

"Sometimes. Other times they are just good musicians. It really depends"

Do you think covid existed in the Season? Do you think that for 2020-2021 Zeus couldn't host two Seasons. He had to wait until 2022 when restrictions finally lifted?

I'm gonna assume that covid didn't exist for my own sanity

Looking back at the recently completed piece in Rome from a couple of weeks ago and thought I’d share some stages of the painting process on the left side. Starting with a chalk drawing on a middle tone base coat, then moving into a rough brush imprimatura, finishing with aerosol. Huge thanks again to the US Embassy in Italy @ambasciatausa for bringing me out to work with @muromuseum on this great project to help renew the Mercato Menofilo. #asclepious #esculapio #fauxsaic #appiaantica #appianway (at Quarto Miglio Appio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwr6iJahZsz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f9auhpwaetid

Sorry for sending so many asks, but Salems psychology in this AU is fascinating. She seems to have fully convinced herself that what she's doing is not just the right choice/only choice (as she has in cannon), but that it's the moral one as well. Even though she seems perfectly willing to harm others, I can't help but wonder if her insistence to think of the subjects as objects is, in some way, a self defense mechanism. If they're objects, then they are perfectly within her control which satisfies the desperation for agency and control cannon Salem has. Also, from her talk of Lucifer (who I'm guessing is Ozma), it makes it so that she cannot be betrayed. A weapon can't betray you, after all.

(also, thank you other asker for the correction about the rod of asclepious vs the caduceus. it's been a long time since I've done anything with Greek mythology and I genuinely appreciate the correction.)

Posting this one without comment, because I am in awe at this person’s analysis

[kismetfakemon]

Name: Asclepient Name Etymology: Portmanteau of Asclepius (The Greek god of medicine) and Serpent Classification: Healing Pokemon Type: Amity/Poison Evolution Method: Does not evolve from or into any known Pokemon Flavour Text: Unlike other snake Pokemon, Asclepient is incredibly friendly and caring. Its venom is highly potent but Asclepient has the ability to change it’s make-up at will, to it being an antidote, an anaesthetic, a sterile cleanser and more. It is said it’s power comes from the rod it is always seen with, but that remains to be proven. Take it’s rod away and you’ll be privy to a frightening Pokemon.

(I wanted to make a fakemon based off Asclepius’ rod for a while and finally did. I wanted it to look unassuming and friendly so I made it fuzzy and gave it kitty features. In game, you can undergo an unofficial quest to capture a bunch of these Pokemon and distribute them to the Pokemon Centres in Civisce.)
