That Read Riordan illustration of Apollo crashing his sun chariot has forever ruined me. Whenever I re-read TOA, all I can think about is Lester biting his damn lip whenever he’s even slightly uncomfortable and it makes me laugh every fucking time 😭😭😭

[coquettemouse]

[incorrect-riordanverse-quotes]

Lit: You have friends and I envy that. Apollo: You’re welcome to share my friends. Lit: [looks at Leo and Calypso] Lit: I don’t want those.

[demigod-shenanigans]

Currently very amused by the thought that Jason keeps accidentally wrecking stuff around the house because he keeps underestimating his own strength. He’s spent his whole life controlling himself and his temper because setting a good example yada yada but he’s learning that it’s okay to let himself be angry for a bit. Which is great! Except he sort of just snapped the shutter cord in half by accident

One time he was frustrated when he was doing laundry and pulled the door handle a little too hard and it just came off the door. Ended up just kind of sitting in the cellar for half an hour trying to process things and just staring at the door handle in bafflement. (He also felt stupid about Iris messaging his husband when they were both home. Eventually Leo came downstairs to see if Jason got swallowed by the washing machine or something. Cue lengthy laughing fit while he’s fixing the door.)

Leo jokes a lot about how apparently Jason is worried about him being bored and therefore creates extra jobs for him on occasion (between this and him regularly shorting out the microwave Jason just really doesn’t get along with their house apparently lmao)

[the-primordial-archivist]

This son of a bitch doesn't know how lucky they are😭

Also Apollo not knowing how to spell his own name I can't-

ALSO ALSO can we talk about how Apollo is probably visiting Waystation at this point and is back in his godly form but chooses to sign the autograph with his human name he hasn't forgotten

[artisthoi]

in the clurb we all fam or whatever kids these days r saying

theres like no way station fanart so i had to lock in (also vaguely inspired by @/ fluffyfurbie on insta and i cant find a tumblr for them so </3)

[m-for-now]

Headcanon that Leo has the song "Honey, i'm good" in his distraction working playlist and whenever it comes on, he refers to Festus as the "somebody at home" when that line comes on and him and Festus just have a nice little time enjoying a silly little song

The Copollogism Essays - Part 3: Lester's Reaction

From The Book: Part 1 (The Tent) ~ Part 2 (The Assassination) ~ Part 3 (Lester's Reaction) ~ Part 4 (Leo's Questions/Seeing Commodus Again) ~ Part 5 (The Arena) ~ Part 6 (The Waystation) ~ Part 7 (The Yacht) ~ Part 8 (The Final Moment)

Analysis: Part 1 (Apollo and Commodus as Individuals) ~ Part 2 (Toxic Relationship?) ~ Part 3 (Codependent - Or Is It?) ~ Part 4 (Other Thoughts)

This is a short scene, but a powerful one in my opinion. Let's break it down :3

“His name is—” “Don’t, Meg,” Josephine warned. “—Commodus,” Meg continued, then frowned. “Why am I not supposed to say his name?” “He pays attention to such things,” I explained. “There’s no point in letting him know we are talking about—” Meg took a deep breath and yelled, “COMMODUS, COMMODUS, COMMODUS! COMMODE CITY, COMMODIANA. COMMODE DAY, MONTH OF COMMODES! COMMODE MAN!” The great hall shook as if the Waystation itself had taken offense. Emmie blanched. Up in their roost, the griffins clucked nervously. Josephine grumbled, “You shouldn’t have done that, hon.” Leo just shrugged. “Well, if Commode Man wasn’t watching this channel before, I think he is now.” “That’s dumb,” Meg said. “Don’t treat him like he’s so powerful. My stepfather—” Her voice caught. “He—he said Commodus is the weakest of the three. We can take him.” Her words struck me in the gut like one of Artemis’s blunted arrows. (And I can assure you, those hurt.) We can take him. The name of my old friend, shouted over and over. - The Dark Prophecy

Apollo calls Commodus his old friend. And while calling your lover your "friend" is usually gay-speak for significant other, in this case...it is referring to Commodus as a friend.

Because that was what they were- before they were even lovers, Apollo and Commodus were friends. Their relationship was that of friends-to-lovers (-to-enemies), and a tragic one at that.

Something small. But something so gut-wrenching too :')

Also amazing how even Apollo's carwreck of a relationship has platonic undertones. hello fandom of the aspecs we just keep winning <3

I staggered to my feet, gagging, my tongue trying to dislodge itself from my throat. “Whoa, Apollo.” Leo rushed to my side. “You okay?” “I—” Another dry retch. I staggered toward the nearest bathroom as a vision engulfed me…bringing me back to the day I committed murder. - The Dark Prophecy

This final line that ends the chapter has always struck me. It preludes to the assassination scene, but this is actually SO FACSINATING because the next chapter has this:

I KNOW WHAT YOU are thinking. But, Apollo! You are divine! You cannot commit murder. Any death you cause is the will of the gods and entirely beyond reproach. It would be an honor if you killed me! I like the way you think, good reader. It’s true I had laid waste to whole cities with my fiery arrows. I had inflicted countless plagues upon humanity. Once Artemis and I slew a family of twelve because their mama said something bad about our mama. The nerve! - The Dark Prophecy

Wait for it.

None of that did I consider murder.

These two lines combined paint SUCH a scene. Apollo at this point is still trying to convince us, the reader, how terrible of a person he is. That's why he's so blasé about the murder of Niobe's children.

That's why he's so distraught over murdering Commodus.

He tells us, straight-laced, that this act, this one act, was unjustifiable.

That is was more unforgiveable than slaughtering thousands of people.

But that's the kicker- we know it was wrong for Niobe's children to be killed, and we know it was right for Apollo to kill Commodus.

Apollo is trying to throw us off the trail. He's trying to make it look like he's okay with child murder/mass murder, but specifically him assassinating a tyrant is unforgiveable.

(hello, therapy? yeah i have a patient for you. yeah he's a piece of work but i have faith in him and also he's babygirl so. <3)

He's trying to be such a dichotomy we don't know what to do or say or think about him.

To bad for him, for the ToA fandom is quite good at catching his tells and slight of hand ;)

You ain't fooling us Apollo, just like you didn't fool Leo and Meg the very next day ;)

You Know The Movie Song (1840 words) by ottpop Chapters: 1/5 Fandom: Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms - All Media Types, The Heroes of Olympus - Rick Riordan Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jason Grace/Leo Valdez, Hemithea | Emmie/Josephine "Jo" (Percy Jackson), Calypso/Lityerses Summary:

And Leo had never realized how wrapped around his finger Jason is until they made it official, Leo just has to look at him right and he will have an overly affectionate Jason all up in his space

Leo is not complaining, he's actually really enjoying it, he's never felt so wanted before. The other Way Station residents on the other hand have collectively decided that the two of them are overly affectionate and their PDA is bordering on biowarfare. Leo finds he doesn't really give a shit, especially after the three years of crap they have gotten from everyone about the pinning.

Like really, pick a lane

-

5x Jason and Leo make the other Way Station residents regret them getting together, 1x they terrorize the general public

Or: Valgrace and an excuse to explore the Waystation

(Sorry for my bad english)

I saw a post saying that one of the reasons why leo and nico are short and physically weak(atleast for normal demigods) its because they passed for malnutrition

leo lived in the streets for some time and if im not mistaken him and Esperanza were not in the best financial conditions, and nico was homeless for a long time only eating junk food, also we have the jar thing

That got me a question what would happen after leo starts to live in the waystation, because jo and emmie are not leting their son ruin his own health and the same goes for nico but with will instead of them

Because like leo still a child of hephaestus and nico a child of the big three

What do you guys think? I want to hear you thoughts on that

[seagull9111]

leo when he goes to calypso even tho he shouldve gone to jason ://

[artemx746]

Ethan: And now that I'm alive again I've realised that I don't have a motivation for anything anymore because I tied so much of my identity to helping my mother and I haven't spoken to her since before I died and I'm scared that-

Apollo: Damn that fucking sucks will talking shit about your mom make you feel better

Ethan: …what?

Leo: Yeah she’s such a bitch! Me and Hazel met her during our quest and she looked like my aunt Rosa-

Ethan: what do you mean she looked like your aunt Rosa?

Leo: She looks like the person you most want revenge on?

Ethan: she what

So Lit’s story. He would offer people food, wine, and a place to rest. Then he would challenge them to a harvesting contest. When they would (inevitably) lose, he would kill them. Presumably by decapitating them with a scythe or sickle. (Keep in mind, this was at his father’s orders, Midas would send any “unfavorable” visitor to be disposed by Lit)

He offered the same thing to Heracles, but when Heracles lost and Lit tried to kill him, Heracles killed Lit instead, because Heracles knew how Lit’s games worked.

Now onto personal headcanons.

I headcanon Lit to be gay. I think he totally seduced Heracles with that scrawny hick body. And I also think Lit wasn’t actually going to kill Heracles— but when Heracles lost and pulled that sword (or sharp farming tool) on Lit, Lit felt a little pissy and betrayed and reacted with anger. And long story short “I actually enjoyed your company and wasn’t gunna kill u like I killed everybody else” didn’t work on Heracles.

I think that would explain why Lit is such a sad and angry boy.

He was following his dads orders and got killed for it. So when he was brought back to serve Gaia he wasn’t willing to trust anyone and was even more violent. He was then essentially ‘conscripted’ into Commodus’s army. (And Commodus compares Lit to Apollo which may imply that Commodus took Lit into his bed). It makes sense that he would be confused by being offered a second chance at well… anything. Anyone in his place would respond with that kind of complete emotion shut down (the silent sobbing in the corner as he slid down a wall).
