PLEASE

concept: tirals of apollo except it’s not written post-trials but on Ao3 and lester updates it daily

So I've recently started reading The trials of Apollo series (I'm still on the first book and barely into it) and the idea of just no one believing Lester when he says he is Apollo throughout the whole series, thinking he might have been hit on the head a bit to hard or is slightly delusional and Meg just kind of indulges him most of the time (and probably one of the first characters to realize oh fuck he is actually generally Apollo) until another god shows up like "what's up Apollo" and everyone collectivly loses their minds.

Honestly I don't know how the inner machinations of my mind works like 99% of the time.

I'm just coming up with random ideas at the moment despite not having read any of the trials of Apollo books and having barely started on the first one, but anyway here is a weird little idea of mine for an au.

I really don't know why but I can't shake the idea of then Apollo falls down to earth and becomes mortal Zeus wanted to add a little extra punishment on top of being mortal, how do you punish a god specifically the god of music and poetry? oh I don't know maybe take anyway his hearing as well aka making Apollo's struggle so much worse.

The scene were Apollo/Lester gets mugged is basically Apollo realizing oh shit I can't hear anything and wondering what the heck is going on, plus not being able to hear anything makes it ten times hard to negotiate with Meg and their friendship is basically forged through trying to learn how to commuticate at the start.

I don't think Lester would go around saying he is Apollo, because Apollo the god of music and poetry not being able to hear he can't have anyone know that.

When Meg and Apollo finally get to camp half-blood I think Apollo might somehow figure out how to claim himself as his own child or ending up in a situation of a good majority of the campers are slightly pissed at whoever Lester's godly parent is since they haven't claimed him yet and the whole the gods can't ignore their kids anymore because of Percy thing has happened.

But idk, haven't finished the book, but it's a fun idea to toy with.

I’ve never read them, but I know that there fanfics where Achilles and Patroclus are reincarnated as Will Solace and Nico di Angelo…and like, Achilles killed two of Apollo’s sons during the Trojan war (Tenes and Troilus)—even going so far as to defile Apollo’s temple when Troilus fled there for sanctuary.

so, my point being…Apollo would probably not be thrilled with Solangelo who are the reincarnation of Patrochilles, regardless of whether Achilles is reincarnated as Will or Nico.

Happy Pride Month!!!

Headcanons about Apollo and his former lovers from TOA

Naomi Solace 🎤

-Her and Apollo met when she was singing at a dive bar, he bought her a drink and they had a whirlwind summer fling

-They loved hitting up karaoke bars together and wowing everyone with their singing talent

-She really liked Apollo’s car and they’d did a lot of things in there (including conceiving Will lmao)

-One time when they were making out Naomi climbed into Apollo’s seat and her butt accidentally hit the steering wheel and HOOONK

-They jolted in surprise, then delved into hysterics, anything they had going on dying down as they laid their heads against each other’s shoulders and laughed so hard their ribs hurt, until Apollo suggested they used the back seat and things got going again lol

-Once Naomi said Jesus Christ in like response to smth, Apollo replied actually I’m Phoebus Apollo and Naomi was like what? And Apollo was like whaaaaat and Naomi just moved on bc she had other things to deal with lol

-Apollo ended up saying goodbye and leaving at the end of summer and a few weeks after he left Naomi realized she was pregnant and was like well shit

-She’s from the south and people there can be p judgmental about pregnancies outside of marriage, but Naomi never let them get her down, she actually met this great support group of women who helped her out and are still good friends even now

-Apollo eased her labor pains when she was giving birth to Will (and that’s why the kid has such good medical powers), but Apollo disguised himself as a nurse, not wanting to stress her out because the ex who she thought had no idea abt the baby was here, with her, holding her hand while she was gave birth

-Naomi brings Will up with love and kindness and she just wants the best for her sweet boy, but she gets concerned when Will talks about some weird things he saw at school and he gets pegged as the “weird kid” and is picked on by his classmates as a result

-Naomi would’ve fought those kids but Will told her it was fine, mama! His stuffed animals were his friends

-Will loved those stuffed animals and got really attached to them, so Naomi taught him how to sow them up when they started fraying and that’s the first thing that made Will want to be a doctor (when Will told his siblings this story they started calling him Doc McStuffins lol)

-Apollo didn’t tell Naomi he was a god and she didn’t find out until Apollo sent a satyr to bring Will to camp once he was old enough

-Realizing she had a fling with a greek god was a bit of a shock but Naomi dealt with it gracefully and gave Will the biggest hug before he left, making him promise to be safe and write to her as soon as he got to camp

-Naomi’s career as a country alt singer got a lot more successful after her whole thing with Apollo because he put a blessing on her, her voice was beautiful she just needed help getting noticed so Apollo nudged some influential people in the music industry towards her on his way out (he kinda felt bad about leaving so abruptly, even if it was just a fling, he tries to make it up to his ex-lovers with things like this)

-Naomi actually ends up writing a sad country love song about Apollo after he left, she titled it Suburn, not knowing how fitting the title is until years later, it becomes one of her most popular songs

-Naomi travels a lot for her career, touring around Texas and some nearby states, and that’s why Will stays at camp year round, but they write to each other frequently and love each other sm

-Naomi doesn’t date much since she’s always busy with her career and traveling, she’s just not ready to settle down yet, she’s happy living as a free spirit and a single mom with a wonderful son

-Naomi is 100% supportive of Will’s sexuality and loves Nico to bits (Nico is a little awkward around her at first bc he’s not used to affection lol)

-She tells Nico stories abt Will when he was a kid, whipping out photo albums and everything and Will is like mom s t a h p ur embarrassing me in front of my bf and Nico is reveling in how red his face gets

Latricia Lake 🎶

-she met Apollo when he was posing as a street performer for fun on the streets of the college town she worked in

-she put a tip in his guitar case and complimented his playing and his voice, Apollo was pleased by this and complimented her in turn, saying she must know her music which made Latricia laugh because she is a professor

-the two of them hit it off and start dating, spending hours talking about music

-being the god of music, Apollo could tell when people really loved music, feeling loved in return, and Latricia was one of those people

-being a college professor, Latricia was a bit older than Apollo’s usual lovers (she’s like in her mid to late 20s) and Apollo looks like 21, so he jokingly starts calling her a cougar just to tease her (when he’s so full of shit bc he’s over 3 thousand years older than her)

-Apollo attended some of her lectures, watching from the back of the room and her students were like ooh who’s that hot guy and she was like my bf and their jaws dropped bc daaamn ms lake way to go (Apollo found those reactions very amusing lol)

-There are many times when Latricia considers smacking that smug smirk off Apollo’s face, but she refrains and smacks his ass instead

-Apollo claims Latricia only loves him for his pancakes bc he made them for her the morning after their first time as a way to get her to keep him around lol (and it worked a little too well)

-When Latricia got pregnant Apollo told her who/what he really was and that was a bit too much for Latricia so they stopped dating but Apollo gave her the briefing about demigod children, powers, monsters, camp half blood, etc before he left

-One day when her sitter had to cancel on her she brought Austin to her class and all the college kids thought he was so cute that Latricia started bringing him around more often, Austin was just a baby but she could tell he loved the attention by the way he was gurgling lol (like father like son)

-Latricia is p busy since she’s a professor but she always makes time for her son and she has been teaching Austin about music since he was a kid, he grew up surrounded by it and that’s why he loves it sm (that and being a son of Apollo)

-On his 10th birthday there was a really nice new saxophone with a ribbon at the foot of his bed (a gift from Apollo) Austin always thought his mom bought it for him and Latricia just didn’t correct him

-Latricia sent Austin to camp half blood when he told her he saw a monster at school, he was only 11 but Latricia would rather be safe then sorry

-Latricia actually met someone while Austin was at his first year of camp, Austin was a little unsure around the guy at first but more out of awkwardness than anything the guy was lacking

-Austin and him bonded over “being boys” as Latricia put it (they blew up hot dogs in the microwave together) and the man soon had her son’s stamp of approval

-They ended up getting married the next year and Austin played the saxophone at their wedding

-Latricia was the first subscriber to his YouTube channel and showed all her coworkers and students her son’s videos, she’s a proud mama

Darren Knowles 🏹

-gay (obviously)

-he loves the outdoors and the crisp cold weather of Canada

-met Apollo when he saw him checking out the flier he had pinned up advertising his archery classes, Darren asked if he was gonna join and Apollo not so subtly checked Darren out over his sunglasses and was like well now I’m def joining

-Darren lowkey thought Apollo was a dumb American tourist at first and Apollo keeps telling him he’s not American and Darren is like uh huh

-Apollo is such a flirt during class and actually misses a few shots bc he too busy staring at Darren lol, but that does give the opportunity for Darren to come and “correct” his stance

-Darren is determined to be a professional with his students but he ends up caving because Apollo is just,, so cute

-Then when they start going on actual dates he finds out Apollo isn’t some dumb blond and is actually really intelligent and educated and Darren is like oh no my weakness, guys who are goofs but not dumb and also hot (Apollo be checking all of his boxes lol)

-Apollo told Darren he was a god while drunk off his ass one night and Darren didn’t believe a fucking word, Apollo just rolled with the drunken nonsense thing the next morning and didn’t tell Darren again (until Kayla)

-Darren lives alone but he’s always wanted a family, he was kicked out by his parents for being gay and he knows if he was a parent he would never treat his child like that, he’d love them unconditionally like his parents should’ve loved him

-Apollo magically created a child for Darren after the man confessed to him how much he wanted a kid of his own

-Darren was happy but like really confused because h... how? And Apollo is just like magic~ which explains fuck all

-Apollo tells him he has to leave now, he was having to leave soon anyway because of some trouble brewing back in America, but that he wanted to do this one last thing for Darren before he left

-he tells him to have take care raising the baby and to send her to cbh’s address when she starts attracting monsters, then poofs away, leaving Darren with a baby in his arms and wondering what the hell just happened

-Darren does raise Kayla with love and care just as he said he would, she grows up hiking through the woods with her dad and learning archery along with other wilderness skills (Artemis would really like her)

-Kayla has her aspirations for the Olympics pretty early on and Darren admires his daughter’s ambition, at first he thinks it’s just her being a kid but then later on as she keeps getting better and better he’s like damn she might actually be able to do it

-But then ofc monsters come and Darren drives her down to New York, lying through his teeth to the border guy who surprisingly lets him through without a problem (Apollo may have insured that but shhh)

-Darren sees her off at the barrier of Thalia’s pine tree and they say goodbye with a hug that lifts Kayla off her feet, there’s promises to write and reminders to practice her archery and take care of her bow and such before Kayla is escorted into camp by some other campers

-Darren managed to keep a hold of himself while saying goodbye but as soon as he’s back in the car he’s fucking bawling, all the way back to Canada because he’s gonna miss his little girl sm

-Darren has had some boyfriends but a lot of them end up jetting as soon as he tells them he has a kid ripp

-He does eventually land a good man and they’re going strong, even when Kayla, who was like 10 at the time, threatened to shoot him in the nads if he hurt her dad

-Darren and shows up to every archery match Kayla has in the future and promises to be there cheering for her with a big ass sign that says THATS MY DAUGHTER when she eventually reaches the Olympics

Bonus!

Georgina’s Mom 🎨

-She was an art student in community college

-She was on her own because her parents refused to support her “unrealistic” career choice

-She met Apollo at a party at some college dorm and they both got super smashed bc college parties be like that

-They had a one night stand that both of them mostly forgot about in favor of their hangovers the next morning

-until Hello!! You have a kid!

-She is most likely dead given that Georgina was led to the waystation by a ghost

-But Georgina has two new mommies now who love her very much (and an awkward dad)

Okay so I recently learned that with animal sacrifices to the gods in Ancient Greece, parts of the animals were dedicated to the gods, and the part that was dedicated to Apollo was

The Booties

And now I’m imagining...

Apollo’s children, throwing the backs of their animal crackers into the fire: this is for u dad

Could you do Iris cabin headcanons please?

Of course bbg.

Iris Cabin Headcanons

Some of them have the ability to send iris messages without paying a drachma, but their mom can and will listen in.

Their hair gets sun bleached very easily, but it’s usually tinted red, blue, green, purple, etc.

They do great with the Apollo cabin because rainbows are formed when sunlight hits water droplets.

They get competitive with the Hermes cabin because Iris and Hermes are both messenger gods.

They tend to be really good at sewing. They make pride flags for the entire camp. They’re also great at painting.

They look a lot like the Hebe cabin because Hebe and Iris have the same taste. English teachers that don’t have sticks up their asses, daycare workers, therapists, etc.

They’re some of the kindest campers, which leads to them being underestimated a lot.

They have a garden where they grow flowers in the shape and colors of a rainbow. And patchouli and other scented herbs and spices

Their fatal flaw tends to be that they’re too forgiving. They like to see the good in people and ignore the bad.

They can impair other people’s vision; make their vision tinted rainbow for a period of time. Some children of Iris can permanently damage someone’s vision.

Hera treats Iris like her own children. Not the best, but better than other demigods.

They’re big fans of Chappell Roan, Reneé Rapp, and other cunty artists.

Leo Valdez with the cabins

Cabin 1: Zeus. Jason and Thalia Grace. Leo thinks Thalia is hot and Jason is Jason. He loves them. Gets along very well. He would also be in love with any other potential children of Zeus.

Cabin 2: Hera. He probably tried to blow up the cabin. Dumb prophecy.

Cabin 3: Poseidon. Things aren't the best between Leo and Percy all of the time. They have a lot of rough patches. But they do enjoy being friends and working together. Just pray that Poseidon doesn't have any kids Leo could take an interest in. Then he'd be dead.

Cabin 4: Demeter. Not great. Fire and plants. They want him to stay away from their gardens. Leo tries to build sprinklers and fountains and entire greenhouses to get them to be more open to him. They appreciate it, but they won't let him in no matter what. They like him outside of their gardens and calm.

Cabin 5: Ares. Leo is the kind of kid that the Ares cabin would bully. But as soon as they find out he's the first son of Hephaestus with fire powers since 1666, they do not mess with him. They're typically nice to him, and he definitely is confused. They stop other kids from picking on him. Like, his bodyguards. They are not risking getting lit on fire. He tries to make friends with them. They give in eventually.

Cabin 6: Athena. They actually get along pretty well most of the time. Athena kids are the gifted kids of the demigod world. And Leo is a genius. He's been doing college level math since he was like 8. He and the Athena kids will get together to work on engineering projects. Every other time, they think he's very distracting. But they're some of the very few people who recognize his intellect. They make him feel understood to an extent in a way not many other people do.

Cabin 7: Apollo. (I don't remember what happened with him in TOA.) The medics in the Apollo cabin are not big fans of him. He blows stuff up a lot. He put people in dangerous situations. People get sent to the infirmary because of stuff he did all the time. Will Solace definitely has told him off once. The other Apollo kids love laughing at his antics. Leo does a little bow to them afterwards and walks off, laughing. He loves the Apollo kids.

Cabin 8: Artemis. The hunters of Artemis scare him. Thalia Grace. He'd totally want them to like him though.

Cabin 9: Hephaestus. Leo gets along really well with all of his siblings. They all work together in bunker 9 building whatever they find the most entertaining. Of course, sometimes they have to remind him that they actually have a job to do. They all have to watch out for each other, and they do.

Cabin 10: Aphrodite. Piper is absolutely his bestest friend. Sleepovers? Yes. Annoying the shit out of the rest of the Aphrodite kids? Of course. What else do you expect? The rest of the cabin does find him endearing, but they wouldn't ever do anything with him. Just friends. Oh and the makeovers. Leo wears makeup every single day purely because he lets the younger Aphrodite campers practice on him and he doesn't want to insult them by taking it off. And he feels fabulous in it. He is.

Cabin 11: Hermes. Oh boy, does Leo love the Hermes cabin! Travis and Connor Stoll playing pranks on Leo. Leo playing pranks on Travis and Connor Stoll. He messes with them so much. And they all enjoy it. Very much fun. 10/10. Leo's besties.

Cabin 12: Dionysus. They also get along great with Leo. The Dionysus kids invite him to their parties and he IS the party. Table dancing, party tricks with his fire powers, and just being reckless in general. There's no alcohol, but with Leo Valdez in attendance, there might as well be. His fun, carefree energy rubs off on people. And the parties help him forget about his problems. He doesn't have to think about his mom's death for a couple hours. He always thanks the Dionysus kids after a party. They don't really understand why he's thanking them when he was the best thing at the party, but they go along with it.

Cabin 13: Hades. Hazel obviously likes him cause of Sammy Valdez and all that. Nico wouldn't have a problem with him if he knew him better or spent any time with him at all. Any other Hades kids may or may not. They would totally think his fire powers are badass, though.

Cabin 14: Iris. I don't think they'd appreciate his jokes very much. He would love to build them a massive projector to put rainbows on everything. They don't really talk to him though. They think he comes off too strong. Despite being some of the nicest demigods at camp, they don't realize what's behind his goofy demeanor.

Cabin 15: Hypnos. The Hypnos kids might know more about him than any other cabin. Leo definitely had trouble sleeping at night after being on the streets his entire childhood. Like every other demigod, the Hypnos cabin is happy help. They'll take Leo in and let him talk about his problems until he falls asleep and then they chase away his nightmares. He accidentally woke up in the arms of one of the Hypnos girls and got kicked out for a while. But they always welcome him back in.

Cabin 16: Nemesis. Honestly, he's probably kinda scared of the Nemesis kids. He played a prank on one or two of them and definitely regretted it. But then they came around to him. Like Jason, they recognized that Leo did a lot of good despite so many bad things happening to him. So they looked up to him too. They refused to let any other campers pick on him. They checked in on him a lot, knowing that he was probably struggling with something. But they were too scared to pry, so they never really got to know that side of him. He didn't understand why they treated him that way, but he liked it. And he liked them.

Cabin 17: Nike. He wasn't very happy with their mother. But he tried to get along with them at first. He played a few jokes on them. But then they came back with so much harder, trying to turn it into a competition. He absolutely regretted messing with them. It was to the point that he started avoiding them out of fear that they would do it again.

Cabin 18: Hebe. The Hebe kids figured that because he's a hero, he should be looked up to. And he definitely flirted with them a lot. And they did like him, but it was more of a platonic thing. They liked his carefree demeanor, but he wasn't the kind of hero they were looking for in the long run. They were chill with each other though.

Cabin 19: Tyche. Leo prayed to Tyche kids after being convinced that he was cursed with his fire powers. He thought that his mom's death was his fault and he was terrified of being the reason anyone else died. He was hoping the Tyche kids could give him enough luck to not kill anyone. The Tyche kids can't exactly receive prayers becuase they're not gods, though. And Leo never killed anyone. So he assumed it worked, and the Tyche kids had no idea that anything was happening. He would thank them everytime he ran into one and they would give him a confused look, but they never questioned it. So Leo and the Tyche cabin were on good terms.

Cabin 20: Hecate. The Hecate cabin gets along great with him. They like to enchant his inventions, making them much more powerful. They encourage him to file for patents and be an actual inventor. He always blushes and brushes it off, claiming he's going to be an engineer and he doesn't need to make all this fancy new stuff, but he's just trying to hide the fact that he's very flustered and prideful. He tries to flirt with them, but he kinda breaks when they flirt back. At one point he was convinced he was going to marry a child of Hecate. But the Hecate kids tend to push him to work until he breaks down, physically unable to work anymore. Yet he's very grateful for them.

Morpheus cabin headcanons?

Sure! Since they're alike and I already had this planned, I figured it wouldn't hurt to put them together, if that's okay.

Hypnos and Morpheus Cabin Headcanons

They've got those sleepy, melancholy eyes. But they never have eye bags

They surprisingly have a lot of energy. They can definitely hold their own in a fight. They just prefer to be asleep.

They tend to lucid dream. And they can do astral projection. They exit their bodies while they're asleep and mess with the other campers, who are oblivious.

They called their mortal parent "mommy", "mama", "daddy", etc for a very long time.

They wear really comfortable, silk clothing all of the time.

The Nemesis cabin comes to them sometimes to ask them to haunt the dreams of someone who wronged them. They always do.

They welcome all demigods into their cabin to chase away their nightmares, until they give the Hypnos kids a reason to kick them out.

They can talk to Hypnos in their dreams, and he absolutely loves his kids.

Their parents are either severe insomniacs or have narcolepsy. They also tend to be doctors.

Their fatal flaw could be laziness, or just not caring in general, but I think feeling inferior is a common one. Their dad is the god of sleep, so upon being claimed, they automatically assume that they aren't worth anything. He isn't a major god and they don't realize when they use their powers for a long time.

They make dream catchers with the Iris cabin.

Children of Morpheus can create illusions. In dreams or in real life. It's not like the mist where it becomes solid to those who can't see through it. It's more like a projection that only select people can see. They can still walk through it like it didn't exist. But they're very realistic.

Children of Morpheus tend to help out in the infirmary, giving good dreams to injured and unconscious demigods. They can lull someone to sleep just by holding them in their arms. They would have prophetic dreams in this state. Great, but not for date night.

Children of Morpheus grow poppies in their cabin.

Children of Hypnos and Morpheus are great friends with children of Iris.

Rarely, children of Morpheus will inherit a winged ear.

YOU GUYS ARE IN FOR A TREAT... I HAVE SO MANY DESCRIPTIONS FOR THESE SILLY LITTLE PEOPLE......

Arms Tonite by Mother Mother is THE hyapollo song send tweet

idek what I'm doing character description for Apollo in my fic (and just how I imagine him in RRVerse generally LOL) under cut (cut for length haha) (dw i'll make the other ones too! eventually! maybe! /j I will make them prommy) ((hey chat... read the tags... if you wanna... just saying... just the first few... about yk hypothetical situations...))

Apollo HAIR: Shoulder-length, brown to sun-kissed golden blonde ombre. Often messy and unkempt as he seems to have stopped caring about it after becoming a god again. EYES: (i’m so excited for this part) His eyes are different. The right eye is a piercing ice blue, to the point it looks like it glows. His sclera is slightly toned yellow and his pupil, instead of black, is white. His left eye, however, is molten fire, gold as the sun, always dripping to the point it looks like tears, but it evaporates before it can touch the ground or his clothes. It’s slightly horrifying. FACIAL FEATURES: He has acne scars, and statue-Apollo-nose (ifykyk). His eyebrows are brown like his roots instead of blonde and he has freckles. Not a lot, but not too little. He also has the scars from when he was a mortal. CLOTHING: (omgs!!) He wears a Led Zeppelin t-shirt (the iconic one. ifyk,yk.) and a brown pilot’s jacket with patches (such as 2 sun patches on each elbow, a spear on the shoulder, a laurel wreath across the collar, a hyacinth on one pocket, a cypress tree on the other, and a small unicorn patch over the heart.), and a python snake wrapping around the jacket’s right arm. He often wears torn blue-gray jeans, and ratty red sneakers with doodles on them (courtesy of Meg ofc), and embroidered wings. ACCESORIES: He has piercings (imagine this however you like. go crazy if you want. Hell give him a nose piercing, it’s your imagination lol). He has a bow around his back (obviously) at all times – it looks slightly out of character on him considering it’s his bow he had when he was a god, still full gold – . He wears a necklace with a rose charm, and has a simple leather bracelet around his wrist. And of course, on his head, his iconic laurel wreath with sprinkles of hyacinth petals. OTHER BODY STUFF: He keeps the scars he gets as a mortal as well as a faint lichtenburg scar (or lightning scar as people call it). He has a snake tattoo around his neck (because why not yk.).
