im so glad the okey-dokey is being addressed. this is NOT hades.

Right?

Like Rick. Sir. This is your book series. But I think we can all agree Hades would not say 'Okey-Dokey'.

or just. not be intimidating in general.

where is my 'first god to look like an actual god' at?

[3/3] From NatureGuardian for @txny-dragon using the prompt athena's thoughts after the trials

Athena wasn’t sure how to feel. Apollo had successfully re-ascended as a deity to Olympus. She will admit, she was nervous after they had gone off the radar after they fell into Tartarus. That meant they nearly fell into chaos. That unnerved her. Why wouldn’t it? She wasn’t ignorant like the other Gods and goddesses..

No, she thought. She was like the other gods and goddesses. She didn’t help Apollo; she just watched as it happened. When they almost died, became a zombie, and fought python. She didn’t do anything.

Not that she could, but she knows she is Zeus’s favorite. She could have helped and possibly gotten away with it. She sighed, once again.

Apollo was strong. Stronger than her, that’s for sure. She couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy. She didn’t deserve to. After all, she has never been a mortal. She doesn’t get things like they do.

Athena wished she had helped, but she didn’t. She sees how Apollo still visits their kids, her kids, and helps the demigod hero, Perseus. She didn’t.

Perhaps, Apollo had learned more than she knows. Even as she hates to acknowledge it, knowledge is their domain.

And after all, wisdom is nothing without knowledge.

Hi! I started reading toa and I love it so far, I found your blog and I really like it! but I've been having a hard time finding a lot of fandom content, could you recommend me some toa blogs that you know please?

Ok so number 1: @ukelele-boy. Guys ukeleleboy is so cool. If you want some incredible art and really cool hc you should definitely follow them. 

@sierice is another blog I would definitely recommend. I swear she manages to find every post related to ToA on the site lol. She’s also the accidental creator of Polldona!

Speaking of collections of ToA stuff on tumblr, @the-toarchives is collecting all the ToA content on tumblr, so definitely check it out!

I adore @heresronnie21 ‘s art, and all of their headcanons about Apollo. Seriously one of my favorite artists in the ToA space. 

@flzzypop is also such a good ToA fanartist!!! They’ve said they’re taking a bit of a break from ToA related stuff, but you should still absolutely give them a follow bc their art is just so cozy and wonderful.

I just love @trials-of-apunllo. Like it’s so good.

@txny-dragon has such adorable art, I smile everytime I see it. Also they're running the apollo ship tournament right now and I am so hyped for that.

@ferodactyl Is, as stated in their blog description, the CEO of Sunflower Sibs. Fero's art is amazing, their writing is stellar, and they've organized a whole bunch of events for the ToA fandom over the years. Honestly I don't think the ToA fandom would be what it is today without Fero.

@choconoru does art of the riordanverse in general, and all of it is beautiful and I love it. Their most recent piece of Lester is literal gold!

Another great fanartist is @moodyseal !!! She's been around for a while and her art is always sucha treat. I love her AoD design it's beautiful

Another og is @flightfoot . As she's said, she's more posting about Miraculous Ladybug now, but I followed flightfoot when I first started looking into the ToA fandom which was years ago. To me, Flightfoot is a fandom pillar, and definetly a blog you should check out.

I'm not going to lie I know there are many more blogs to recommend but I feel like I just haven't reached out enough to know them all ahhh. If any of my fellow ToA blogs want to reblog this with their own recommendations I would be thankful!!

So, for ArtFight this year I had a "Design A Demigod" section to help me get the designs for these 500+ campers I've been working on to flesh out the camp population throughout canon, and to my delight, I got thirteen* designs out of it, which I am very grateful for! I've now managed to give all of those kids their own icons in my own style (and assigning them their names and/or beads where necessary), and am now showing them off because these original designs were all amazing!

*I can count, I promise - one of these was given to me outside of ArtFight, because this is not a thing that is limited to ArtFight and more info about the project will be at the bottom of this post if anyone's interested!

The kids shown here are...

Top row, left - Maria Waltz, daughter of Terpsichore. Original design by @worlds-oldest-teenager

Top row, middle - Penelope Oswald, daughter of Morpheus. Original design by @kitsartblog

Top row, right - Chimere Neal, daughter of Hypnos. Original design by @txny-dragon

Second row, left - Enya Tolliver, daughter of Hephaestus. Original design by @saszor

Second row, middle - Rhys Garcia, [unclaimed] child of Aphrodite. Original design by @choconoru

Second row, right - Oli Blair, son of Athena. Original design by @paradisepudding

Third row, left - Aidan McKinney, son of Hephaestus. Original design by @paradisepudding

Third row, middle - Sirius Blecher, child of Hephaestus. Original design by Inkandquill150 [Instagram/ArtFight]

Third row, right - Naomi Rose, daughter of Aphrodite. Original design by LovelyNight [ArtFight]

Fourth row, left - Kei Winship, child of Dionysus. Original design by callie0hpee [DeviantArt/ArtFight]

Fourth row, middle - Emily Brown, daughter of Eris. Original design by acrophyll [ArtFight]

Fourth row, right - Georgie Bond, daughter of Demeter. Original design by @krystalguitarthemums

Bottom row, left - Aoife Kearney, daughter of Ares. Original design by @austinwehaveaproblem

Bottom row, right - Grace Faraday, daughter of Athena. Original design by @austinwehaveaproblem

So what is this project?

Basically, I'm populating the entirety of the camp from 1998 through to 2020 for fic reasons. I've worked out all the kids' names, parentages and camp dates, and have opened the floor for people to help come up with visual designs for all of these kids. If there's any general interest on tumblr, I'll put up details of what I'm looking for later.

THANATOS IS SO WHIPPED AND AWKWARD AND IT'S EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINED IT

my view of what happened when thanatos finds out (and if hades finds out)

Hades: YOU LET A SOUL ROAM THE WORLD! WHY Thanatos: Um- Hades: AND THE SAME SOUL BECAME A FUCKING GOD Thanatos: ... Hades: AND TRIED TO KILL APOLLO! WAS IT WORTH IT Thanatos thinking about the kiss on the cheek and the hug: yeah... i mean no-

ehehehehehehehehahaahahahaa

They were so fun <3

Hades:

Hades: ...oh my gods.

Thanatos, sweating: Wut?

Hades: you.... *points finger* you have a crush on my favorite nephew.

Thanatos, slightly high-pitched: nO I DON'T!

Hades: YOU DO

Hades: OH MY GODS

Hades, shouting across the hall: PERSEPHONE THANATOS HAS A CRUSH ON APOLLO

Thanatos: I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH ON APOLLO

Persephone, kicking the doors open: OH?!? Well it's about time he's had a crush!

Hades: DON'T LIE THANATOS

Persephone: When did this crush come on?

Thanatos: no comment

Hades: ALL THE WAY BACK IN ROME

Hades: AT THE LATEST

Persephone: *gasp* Thanatos! Why didn't you tell us???

Persephone: I would've wing-women'd you!

Thanatos: Thank you, Lady Persephone, but it's not needed. It's just a phase.

Hades: A ONE-THOUSAND EIGHT-HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN YEAR LONG PHASE?!

Thanatos: ....yes?

Hades:

Persephone:

Thanatos:

Hades:

Persephone:

Thanatos: ....okay maybe not

Hades: I FUCKING KNEW IT

Persephone: THANATOS I AM YOUR WING-WOMAN NOW I AM CONTACTING ERATO WE ARE GONNA GET YOU A MAN

Thanatos: PERSEPHONE, NO

Persephone & Hades: PERSEPHONE, YES

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

my new hc in swears and swarms is that athena totally made ares go to that tea party to try and get apollo to join rebellion

sometimes you have to put aside a rivalry so you can kill another rival.

Ares after finding out Athena didn't get Apollo to join: ATHENA! Athena: He looked so happy... Ares: I HAD TO DEAL WITH CALLIOPE HAVING NO SHAME AND YOU DID PEST CONTROL????

i need them to be silly

fun story.

that ares mention was a nod to this fic :3

i see it as canon to my own fics :D

but yes. THE SILLIES I LOVE THE SILLES

[2/3] From NatureGuardian for @txny-dragon using the prompt thanatos and apollo talking about the tria;s (cough cough burning maze) after toa

Apollo was silent. They were sitting in their garden from the plants Meg had given them. Thanatos couldn’t help but be nervous. He was here for one reason- to talk about the recent pandemic. As the one in charge of escorting those who died, and Apollo being the one who controlled plagues, they had to converse to get things straight. However, Thanatos felt that this wasn’t going to be easy.

He crept near Apollo, whose saddened blue eyes immediately went up to Thanatos. Ah, right. Today is the anniversary of Jason Grace’s untimely death. Apollo stood up.

“Hello, Thanatos. How can I help you today?” Apollo asked quietly. Their thoughts were practically open to be read.

Why are you here? You didn’t help Jason when he was dying, why should I help you?

Apollo knew why Thanatos was here, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t be petty about it. They know it wasn’t truly Thanatos’ fault, but they can’t exactly take out their feelings on Hades. Thanatos just sighed.

“Look, Apollo. I’m here to just talk about the pandemic.. but I’m sorry. I couldn’t st-“

Apollo hushed him with their hand. They know. They didn’t want to hear about it, though.

“I know, Thanatos. But I can’t help but be bitter about it.”

Silence. Apollo sighed, and turned to face Thanatos fully.

“Alright. Now what do you want me to help you with about the pandemic?”

[incorrect-sunflower-sibs]

Apollo: Are you ever going to listen to me?

Meg: Yes. Absolutely.

Apollo: When?

Meg: When you're right.

@txny-dragon I FOUND YOUR NICHE

some recent god drawings :D

[toacollabevent]

Ten Duel Commandments (for fighting a giant snake)

 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

 Nine was the amount of hours that heathen, Python, was chasing my beloved sister and mother.

 It’s the ten duel commandments. It’s the ten duel commandments.

Ten hours it took for me to make my decision and fight that snake myself.

 Number 1.) The challenge, demand satisfaction. If they apologize, no need for further action.

 I wasn’t going to go attack a snake who regretted his actions. That’s how gods get vaporized. So, I went to the cave Artemis talked about.

 Now, call me stupid for going straight to the possibly murderous snake’s turf, but what other choice did I have? Attack a poisonous snake that was terrorizing both multiple twins and my sister and mother? Actually, yeah, that sounds smarter, but I know etiquette, even whilst four days old.

 "Python! I request an audience!“ I yelled into the mouth of the cave where Python resided.

 Nothing happened for maybe a few minutes. I was just about to leave when an earthquake occured. Nope, not an earthquake, for the cause of the ground shaking was coming for me. It was Python.

 I was regretting every life decision I made, and I was born four days ago so there wasn’t a lot of them. Then again, I was conscious in the womb and cursed pretty much every town that denied to help my mother. So, maybe there were a lot of them.

 "What?” he said. The snake was concise, for once.

 I somehow found the words. “I declare a one-on-one fight.”

 "For what purpose?“

 "You harassed my mother and sister.”

 "How do you know that they deserved it?“

 Now, that was too far. He certainly deserved what ever was coming towards him. No apology would ever defend him from my wrath.

 Number 2.) If they don’t, grab a second. Your lieutenant, when’s there reckoning to be reckoned.

I left, thinking about the many ways to skin a snake whilst alive. This is how I know that the minds of children are weird.

 I made it to Delos, greeted by the flowers that were rooted when my sister and I were born.

 I found Artemis throwing sand in the ocean. I have no idea why.

 "Sister, may I request something of you?”

 She raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”

 "So, I may or may not have decided to fight Python,“ Artemis looked at me as if I signed a death warrant, which I probably did. "I know, it was a dumb idea but if I lose, I want you to finish the fight.”

 Artemis took a minute to think about it and slowly nodded. Since another snake didn’t go ahead and try to kill me the minute I won against Python, I assume he doesn’t have friends to lean on.

 Number 3.) Have your seconds, meet fact-to-face. Negotiate a peace, or negotiate a time and place.

 I had no idea that asking Artemis to kill Python if I died would make her try to negotiate with said Python. But, here we are.

 When she came back, all she said was. “His cave. Just before sunrise.”

 This is common place, ‘specially 'tween recruits. Most disputes die and no one shoots.

 Number 4.) If they don’t reach a peace, that’s alright. Time to get some pistols and a doctor in sight. You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility. You have him turn around so he can have deniability.

 I needed a weapon. I was not stupid enough to fight a snake that can kill you with one sniff of his breath. So, I may or may not have politely asked Hephaestus to give me a bow and arrow. Why that specific weapon? I don’t know. Maybe it was because my sister had a bow and arrow.

 I realized after the interaction I had with my half-brother I am not related to at all, that I needed to make sure I don’t die. Could I be my own healer? How hard could it be?

 I decided to practice on animals, which I think led my sister to make the Endangered Mythical Creature list. Oops.

 5.) Duel before the sun is in the sky. Pick a place to die, where it’s high and dry.

 I realize now that the reason why Python didn’t want to fight in the day was because he didn’t want Helios as a witness.

 The thing that disturbed me the most was that if I was going to die, I would have disintegrated via the smell. Oh, and I’d be dead, obviously.

 Number 6.) Leave a note for your next of kin. Tell 'em where you’ve been. Pray that hell or  heaven lets you in.

 Just before I was going to leave, I wrote a note in the dirt where my mother would see. She was the only one who didn’t know that I was going to go off to fight Python. My father wasn’t even there at the time so I left him out of the note.

 I wondered what afterlife awaited gods. I hoped that I wouldn’t find out.

 Then I left for Python’s cave.

 7.) Confess your sins, ready for the moment of adrenaline, when you finally face your opponent.

 I arrived early and that didn’t help my nerves. I felt so stationary waiting. So I paced and did everything I could think off to not stay still.

 Weirdly, I think that helped me survive. On the other hand, Python wasn’t scared of a godling who had no idea what he was doing, so he lost. In the words of Trollhunters, always be afraid.

 Number 8.) Your last chance to negotiate. Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight.

 "Python,“ I greeted. He did not answer.

 Just in case, I tried negotiating with Python. Again. To keep a long story short, It did not work

 Number 9.) Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher, summon all the courage you require and count.

 Python attacked. I don’t remember much. The pain blindsided me. That was probably for the best.

 It started glowing as if it was day, but the sun haven’t come up yet. It was coming from me.

 He threw me in the air. I had a good shot. I counted the feet.
