This is your friendly reminder that Apollo not only made mpreg canon, but also invented mansplaining, the honey he gay meme, and pissed himself every other chapter of toa

[xxmartyxo]

the fact that when Apollo turns back into a god, he feels more comfortable in his Lester form than his “perfect, muscular” Apollo form. Each person he visits, he visits as Lester. Because it makes him feel comfortable. Compact. Safe. And even he says that a life watching Meg grow up beside him wouldn’t be so bad. He’s genuinely sad.

I’d like to think that he stays in Lester form when doing small, stupid, godly things. To remind him of his six months of pain, suffering, friendship, grief, love, and more pain. To remind himself what it’s like to be human. I’d like to think he visits his old friends a lot, smiling over them as they go along their journey.

what I don’t like to think about, is his life after all of his friends have passed. He spent so much time bonding with his children, Meg, and so much more, and yet I always think about the fact that he will have to see them go. Imagine living for that long after everyone you know and love has gone. Imagine him watching Meg in her last days. Rooting for her. Imagine the grief he goes through when they’re all finally gone. The other gods laugh at him, call him weak. But those six months taught him how to be the best god ever. And that’s why, after TOA, I truly believe he will go through with his promise to Jason, and be more human. Be sensitive. Be caring. Be less arrogant. He knew that when he came back to Olympus, he was different. But he knew that it was in a good way. Part of him was sad to not be Lester anymore.

the character development for Apollo is out of this world. It is phenomenal. I love him so much. He’s my favorite god. He’s human.

lester and meg will FOREVER be the most ICONIC duo in the HISTORY of the UNIVERSE. you have lester "i've always wanted my own little sister" papadopoulos, and meg "i just want to be LOVED" mccaffrey 🥺 their sibling dynamic is UNMATCHED and their humour is the whole reason i READ the series. like even though tragedy is EVERYWHERE in the trials of apollo, the books still feel so lighthearted because apollo and meg ALWAYS bully each other at EVERY opportunity no matter WHAT they're going through. honestly i think it's become a coping mechanism they SHARE to get through everything that happens and it's so BEAUTIFUL to watch 🤧

apollo honey you can't manwhore your way out of more trauma

i love trials of apollo because every book is like “hi i’m apollo. i'm sad and pathetic and i’m now gonna defeat you with the power of friendship” and then said power of friendship is a random outburst of primordial godly power he didn't know he still had

I'm obsessed with Apollo in PJO. He's a girlboss. He's bisexual. He's a loser. He killed his ex boyfriend by screaming at him. He's enslaved by a twelve year old. He's the 4000 year old god. He's stuck in the body of a 16 year old with acne. He passes out every fifty pages. He claims to be the eldest twin. His twin sister helped deliver him. He has a talking prophetic arrow only he can hear. He canonically gave birth to Kayla through godly mpreg. He fucking hates ravens. He sang Sweet Caroline whilst actively dying from a zombie virus. He loves elephants. He's a simp. He got cockblocked by a talking sword. He hates everything. He needs to be protected by a 12 year old whenever a fight breaks out. He's a sopping wet cat. He's blorbo. He's entirely and utterly pathetic. He should NEVER be allowed a gun. We stan <3

when people say that jason grace dying of a stab wound is extremely stupid and anti climatic, and that it was made for jason to look 'weak', i couldn't disagree more tbh, bc it's so so symbolic. in blood of olympus, it was said that jason's soul was broken the moment he was stabbed with imperial gold, and it left more than just a physical scar on him, it damaged his soul. because only a few minutes prior, he had a bitter, soul crushing confrontation with his mother's spirit. jason told piper that she was the only reason he had the will to live at that particular moment, otherwise he would've crumbled down and let himself give in to death.

and then comes his life a few months later, jason lost his anchors, which was piper and leo, jason enrolled in edgarton which was located in the same area where his mother died in a car crash. he was already showing signs of spiralling, taking as many subjects/extra curricular activities as he could, getting as engrossed as he could in his minor gods project, to take his mind off of the prophecy.

all of this was more than enough to reopen jason's soul scarring, jason taking a hit with a spear, in the EXACT same spot as the previous stab, was the culmination of his soul withering for good. piper was there both the times he got impaled, this time though, when he crumbled to the floor, jason had completely given in to death, not bothering to put up a fight with his mind.

'the truth was enough to break jason grace'

his mind was damaged, broken and weary, and that was the real reason he died, not because he couldn't take on a physical stab wound.

i just realized that a quality senku and gen share, which compliments one another, is that they both can see underneath each other's facade.

senku is often labelled as a straightforward scientist who tends to brush off emotional matters to focus on logic and pursuit.

gen keeps saying that he is the most shallow man on earth, and that he is willing to be heartless for his own personal gain.

but behind those exterior, they're both extremely caring people who, even though they would put brains over feelings, without a doubt still encompass deep sentimentality towards others (and each other) by their actions. senku with how he prepared the cola for gen. of course, gen planning the whole observatory for senku. etc etc

they even hypocritically point it out whenever moments like these happen. what draws them together is that sense of understanding beyond what they don't show. they know how each other really are deep inside, and how to take care of the other person.

god they truly are a match

Gen calculating Senku's birthday through a random note on a tree and an insane number of days recieved by asking a leading question so he could build an astronomy observatory as a gift was a very straight thing to do if you ask me
