Everyone go watch this ITS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!

As you may be able to tell, this sketch animatic took me a rather long time. Trials Of Apollo (really the whole Riordanverse) is honestly a super huge interest of mine and it always has been. Ever since I read the first Percy Jackson book I've been kinda stuck in it- maybe I'll never leave!

Anyway, I am also very interested in the history of Rome. As you can imagine, reading the Commodus section of the Historia Augusta was very fun for me. The fictional portrayal of him in ToA is also interesting in my opinion, especially because Apollo is my favorite character in PJO/HoO/ToA... or really anywhere in the series.

So yeah. I like Copollo a lot. What can I say? The fact that they are not good for each other has compelled me.

This idea for an animatic was actually inspired by a post by @/apollosgiftofprophecy! (https://www.tumblr.com/apollosgiftofprophecy/751466998199926784/apollo-commodus-be-like-they-are-very-veronica?source=share) It seemed like a good idea, so I went for it!

Fandom: Trials Of Apollo (ToA) Characters: Apollo (also as Lester) and Commodus, as well as Frank, Hazel, Hestia, Hera, Zeus, and Meg for a few frames each. Ship: Copollo Song: I Say No from Heathers Animation program: Pencil2D

Several extra/unused/unfinished frames under the cut!

If you’re autistic enough any character can be a babygirl and any song can be about them

so much love for characters who are desperately unsure whether they’re a good person, a redeemable person, a person worth saving, but are absolutely certain that they’re a grade a hottie

Scene from The Hidden Oracle chapter 17

Seeing as the book is set in 2011 Apollo really has prophetic powers■|:>

"Do you want a boyfriend/girlfriend?" no i want a best friend/roommate/soulmate that I can go on silly adventures with and hang out with and have deep intellectual discussions with and we can be life partners without any of the romance stuff

[ukelele-boy]

Friend: Don't you want to have a romance?

Me: I'm good, I have romance at home.

Romance I have at home:

The best godly parents in pjo?Can someone draw this pls

Apollo occasionally sniffing/smelling people is one of those random character quirks that kills me.

If its true that memories are strongly paired with scents, could it be that Apollo is just building a mental portfolio of how all of his loved ones smell so he’ll remember them more vividly two centuries from now? Possibly.

Could he also just be sniffing people because he’s a weird little freak? Mayhaps.

Peak character.

Someone on TikTok asked what the gayest moment in the PJO Universe was and I was so disappointed no one said Apollo drowning his evil ex in a bathtub - with his bare hands!🥲
