[my-name-is-apollo]

Having a "I've connected the dots" moment on why Zeus is so affectionate with Apollo, and I don't know why I'd never considered it before that Apollo's youth could be a reason.

Iamblichus, The Life Of Pythagoras (trans. Guthrie)

So there was this sentiment that young boys are the dearest to the gods, and the gods are especially attentive towards their requests. And since Apollo is a perpetual young boy himself, with Zeus being the one to grant him this gift in one version, it makes sense that Zeus has granted so many of Apollo's wishes. He spared Prometheus and Periphas upon Apollo's request even though he was personally offended by them. He agreed to suppress Gaia and Athena upon Apollo's request when it came to the oracular business. He even revived Asclepius to console Apollo despite Apollo's frankly disrespectful reaction to Asclepius' death.

Apollo might be fearsome, powerful, and even reckless at times but when he kneels down in supplication, all Zeus sees is his little boy that he loves so much, and he can't help but give in to his requests (well, most of his requests at least). And as far as the text is concerned, and if I'm interpreting this correcltly, Apollo's youth is interestingly tied to his helpful nature because besides using his own powers to help the humans, Apollo can also help them by supplicating to Zeus on their behalf, as Zeus is more likely to grant a request when it's coming from him.

MAJEL BARRETT as Ruth Donaldson in The Lieutenant, “In the Highest Tradition” (1964)

I never bet on a sure thing. It takes all the fun out of it.

The Lieutenant was Gene Roddenberry’s first, short-lived television show.

one of the things I have had the most joy from unlearning is my anxiety and fear about staying at people's houses. for years and years I would create every excuse to not do it, I'd get a hotel if I did anything, it took so much working up to do it every now and then with no other choice and still i felt awful for just existing physically in someone else's space

now I'm like. host me. host me I fucking dare you, let me in your house and I will burrow into the walls, I love my FRIENDS I want to BE WITH THEM and I'm no longer filled with shame about, like, breathing too loud or needing to pee at 2am. bitch we all have to pee. I just had food poisoning at a friend's house, who I'd never stayed with before, and an awful fever, and I feel fucking reborn that like. it was fine! it was no big deal!!!! we just do what we can to make each other feel comfortable no matter the situation!!!!

so like yeah just fuckin. go spend time with your friends I promise your friends will love you even if you're puking and they're having the worst month of their life it will still be worth it okay ilu <3

Went to the ice cream place and got a Reese's peanut butter cup sundae with brownie batter ice cream and the lady repeated this back to me and then she gave me chocolate ice cream with an UNGODLY amount of Oreos in it instead. And it couldn't have been someone else's order because nobody else was there. I am so confused. Like, it was good, but I am so confused.
