I am obsessed, as a child of Apollo myself
Apollo Kid Headcanons!
So I'm writing a series named The Sacred Blades in which multi-mythology demigods/supernatural beings exist (the main character is a daughter of Apollo and fire mage) and I go on Tumblr often to look at (and associate with) Apollo Kid Headcanons (I'm part of the pjo fandom and I am a proud af Apollospawn through and through!!!). I have made quite a few of own headcanons of my own which I don't mind sharing! Enjoy!!! And feel free to add your own! (Pls add some! I'm pretty sure I've exhausted every single Apollo kid headcanon and I want more but I can't find any that I haven't already seen, so I'd be happy to have some new content lol. It's also kinda why I'm sharing my own headcanons)
Every single Child of Apollo has traits or supernatural abilities that are associated with one of Apollo's kinetic domains. This can be as diluted as 1 subpower from one domain and no other abilities (noise sensitivity, or Truth Sense, etc) or they can have Multi-Domain Control (MDC) over some/most aspects of any domains and kinetic abilities.
Most of us Apollo kids fall in the middle/mid-high end of the Demigod Power Spectrum (DPS). All kids are still accepted by our Cabin and loved regardless of their abilities:
Apollo's domains are:
Music, Hunting, Truth, Medicine, The Future, Reason, Civilization, Light, Logic, Purification, The Sun, Law, Order, Justice, Male beauty, Intelligence, Plague, Healing, Health, Disease, Prophecies, Archery, Poetry, Oracles, The Youth, Young Boys, Protector of Young Boys & Men, Arts, Animals, Herds and Flocks (I don't have a record of anymore so please add if you know any others)
I used to spend hours Googling all of Apollo's domains because I wanted to be inclusive of absolutely every little thing that my dad has control over
Arts include the following three categories that Ik of:
- performance arts (eg: music, dancing)
- literary arts (eg: poetry, singwriting, storywriting)
- visual arts (eg: painting, sketching)
Kinetic Abilities for any of Apollo's Descendants are as follows:
Animal - zookinesis (he and Artemis and hunting gods with sacred animals that are hunters [wolves] or hunted [deer]) (imagine being stuck somewhere and using your Animal Manipulation powers to communicate with animals and get them to help. :) - although I imagine tigers would go straight for the meat, since they're Sacred to Zephyrus. How does the Sacred thing even work? Is it that any animal Sacred to a god(dess) will listen to them over anyone else? Do they do the god(dess)'s bidding in killing kids of other god(desse)s that the animal's Lord/Lady has beef with? If only Greek god(desse)s existed. I'd ask Dad all these questions I have about their culture)
Arts - artemokinesis (God of arts - performance, literary, visual- you name it) (art attacks. Draw something or point at some picture/painting, sketching and it literally comes to life. And the Apollospawn conjurer is the only one this Real Live Drawing listens to. Being able to take visual or literal art literally out of pages, etc - a bit like Clary from Shadowhunters [she's totally a child of Apollo too]
Health - vitakinesis (fucking up someone's health but also being able to fix it up at the same time)
Disease - virokinesis (Apollo is the god of disease, plagues, etc) I feel like lots of people forget this. I also wasn't able to find many headcanons about this power, so this is definitely something that will be included in my aforementioned book series on Wattpad
Sun - heliokinesis (Helios kids obviously have it to a higher power degree but it would be pretty damn powerful even for Apollo Kids) I'm thinking they get energy from the sun the way Percy got energy from the water sources. They can probably chanel this energy for pretty much anything: shields, making constructs that are tangible to Apollo/sun god(dess) kids only - or maybe tangible to the demigods of deities who have control over light, fire, heat, the sun, etc.
I also think they'd get like firebending powers during daytime, bc the sun is literally a ball of fiery of gas and plasma
Heat - thermokinesis (kinda self-explanatory. This can also be used by Apollo kids who have no/little Truth Sense, to determine if someone is lying by picking up on the heat signatures in bodies. When people lie, generally speaking, the heart beats faster, pumping more blood around the body, which I imagine has a slight raise in body temp. The REALLY powerful kids (in terms of thermoK) would be able to pick this up, most likely.)
Fire - pyrokinesis (due to sun powers. I think they draw power from the sun, like the concept in Avatar about firebenders rising with the sun)
Plasma - plasmokinesis (the sun is made of hot gas and plasma) (also see below for electrokinesis)
Light - photokinesis - seriously look up Light Manipulation. I get my info from superpowers wiki. There's so MUCH that Rick could've done if he had just ONE child of Apollo with photokinesis (more on this later, on another post hopefully I will put up within the week [hopefully] bc it's too much for me to add into this post, not to mention slightly irrelevant - I WILL elaborate on the rest of the powers I'm listing here too, going into much more depth in future posts)
Laser - léizerkinesis (falls under light manipulation) (I'm thinking of Iron Man's laser beams or Superman's laser eyes. Imagine either of them in a fight with a child of Apollo who has abilities that cross over ALL if not MOST of Apollo's domains. That'd be sick as fuck!)
Electricity - electrokinesis (I feel like this might be a rare af ability but a few of my siblings may have this ability. Most likely in the form of plasma as that makes sense, given the sun's plasmatic state) idc if plasmatic isnt a word - it is now.
Colour - chromakinesis (falls under light manipulation) imagine an Apollispawn being able to change their own eye colour, or skin colour to blend in (camouflage on secret missions). They're literally chameleons!)
Star - asterokinesis (the sun is a star) (this power alone is so dam potent and destructive as fuck and its terrifyingly amazing!!!!!!) (Srsly look it up! You will NOT regret it if you're as nerd and invested into this as me lol) (you don't have to look it up. I WILL elaborate on this in a separate post)
Intelligence - noimosýnikinesis (god of intelligence) (imagine being able to alter someone else's intelligence, or absorb it. Or do literally anything with it! You could even take away the intelligence they have in a certain topic (a bit like a memory spell)
Knowledge - scientiakinesis (see above)
Literature - bibliokinesis (imagine being able to write poetry or anything really that can LITERALLY attack your opponents. A description about a 3 headed hydra, with one head breathing poisonous gas, one head breathing fire and another head breathing ice transforms into an ACTUAL hydra of that caliber - the Apollospawn to conjure this up would be their master. Imagine having a pet hydra. Fucking rad! I'm sure Dad coined the phrase "the pen is mightier than the sword". In this case, LITERALLY.) I think maybe this particular one may work out as writing a description about something (the hydra from above) and having the physical form of the hydra made out of words.
[If you couldn’t already tell by my tone, I'm EXCITED AS HELL for elaboration on all of these, some more than others]
Dance - saltatokinesis (is a form of art) (dancing your opponent to death sounds fun. Who's in? "Dance-off bro. You and me." Anyone? Or even cursing them to dance while you do your shit and go with them still dancing.) The Nyan Cat Song was Hell for me. I'd totally curse someone to do this.
Music - symphokinesis (imagine someone you don't like and you're in class/a room, somewhere with them. This person is plugging into music which you can hear bc kid of Apollo superhearing. Or even better: you don't hear their music but you know they have it on. There's a song they hate and they're not nice to you (at all) so the obvious thing to do is fuck up their music and absolutely obliterate their happiness. Even if you're just getting even for one simple thing (they pushed you or called your friend names, laughed at someone's attempt to try something new, ANYTHING)
Sound - audiokinesis (linked to being the god of music) (glass shattering screams. Singing so high pitched that glass breaks is an Indiana Jones thing. Also an Apollokid thing)
Bow - tóxokinesis (forming bows is rad as fuck, idc what anyone says) (also totally an Apollo Kid Thing.) (Photokinetic bows and arrows is what MC in my aforementioned story does. Also makes a light saber bc of her other ferrokinetic abilities and light manipulation powers. She'd be more powerful that Percy, technically, and that's just counting her Apollp powers, so I'm really unhappy that Rick downplayed Apollo kids!!!! (He wanted his MC to look more cool so he did my siblings dirty)
Honesty Manipulation (kinda scary tbh) Evil Apollokids could be successful gaslighters.
Transparency (Clarity) Manipulation (not sure what to put here tbh. A little help?)
Precognition Manipulation (foreshadowing your own future.) (I once wrote a poem when I was around 8 or smth about a poor animal which was neither here nor there - not male or female, not a cat or a dog but it was there and it existed - who lived in a family and all it really wanted was to feel loved and worth something, to feel cared for and to feel like it belonged. My family got v concerned when they read it - on the family tablet - and they deleted it bc they got worried etc. They probs thought I felt unloved, worthless and neglected. But I am now, at 20 yrs, the literal embodiment of what that animal was back then, 12 yrs ago when I made that animal come to life via a poem. I redid this poem, so it's Itshee 2.0 but the Original is gone 😪 Kinda scary tho foreshadowing ur own future. But think of all the other cool things you could do with this) (will be explored in a different post)
Harmony (Order) Manipulation (imagine being able to create complete and utter chaos or force everyone into your idea of harmony just by will alone. I don't know how they'd use this power in a good way. I'll figure it out though)
Hunting Manipulation (maybe this could include setting hunting animals on those hunting you? As in an evil demigod hunting you. Like Artemis and the guy she turned into an animal to get torn to shreds by his own hounds, except in this instance, it's the animal's will/attention that has been bended) (would this work with hellhounds? Bc they're part hound, which is dog and dogs are descendants of wolves who have been domesticated for over hundreds of years)
Creativity Manipulation (see art, music and dance manipulation). Also maybe they're able to change one kinetic form into another bc of this streak? So turning photoK energy into plasmaK energy or pyroK energy just by willing it or maybe the assistance of magic spells?
Serenity Manipulation (idk where to go with this. Any ideas?)
Medicine Manipulation (imagine being able to manipulate effects if medicine after someone has already taken them - I'm thinking with the destructive mindset) (nullify the effects of painkillers, double up the effects of other medicines, maybe with incantation or spells, etc.) Fucking terrifying.
I'll put up the other half of this post later tonight, probs!!
I love all of these and needed to be able to find it easier! I agree with all of these, as a daughter of Apollo myself.
Apollo Kid Headcanons
we all love warmth, like cats
we lay on sidewalks during the summer because w a r m t h
when the sun hits our eyes, they become 10x more beautiful
it’s not uncommon to have the nickname ‘Sunny’ or ‘sunshine’
we get cold very easily
somehow our core is always really warm
we give the best hugs
usually theatre/choir/band/dance kids
preforming arts,,,
THEATRE WARMUPS
constant singing
in the morning, we’re awake before the other cabins
if we don’t all listen to music together, we usually have our headphones in
whoever is in the showers first gets to pick what we listen to
not all of us are always happy
in fact most of us suffer from some sort of mental illness
it’s not uncommon to have synesthesia
MUSICAL NIGHTS
we make friendship bracelets for each other
when artemis and hunters visit, apollo’s cabin and aphrodite’s cabin try to serenade them
the cabin is always chaotic
“I’m trying to study… can you PLEASE play your instruments somewhere else?”
*various sad instrument noises*
“NO YOU CANNOT SING AT TONIGHTS CAMPFIRE, YOUR VOCAL CHORDS ARE D A M A G E D”
“dad, please. this is the fourth time this week you’ve visited. we love you, but if you’re going to stay the night again you have to stay in the zeus cabin.”
we either can stand the sun for a long amount of time (no sunburns, either no tan or VERY tan)
or we get burnt to a CRISP
either awake right at sunrise or sleeping until 2 pm
most of us love holding hands and giving/receiving hugs
since our core is always warm, but we also get cold easy, it’s not unheard of to find 2+ apollo kids snuggling one another.
there are several night lights in the cabin, since most of us hate the dark
the infirmary is… so chaotic
since we have our dad’s gift of archery, we all have great aim.
we just…. throw medical supplies to one another from across the room.
one time a ukulele got involved
ok i lied
we either have fantastic aim
or no aim at all
like
“oh sorry I wasn’t aiming for your groin.”
“that’s okay I suck at catching anyways”
constant singing coming from the infirmary
most of the other campers find it calming, since we all harmonize naturally
our voices blend together naturally as well
we often wake the cabins directly to the left and right of us because of singing in the morning
ever met an emo apollo kid?
at least a third of us is emo or something
black attracts sunlight
makes us feel at home
also,,, W A R M T H
“so, your favorite color is black, right?”
*dressed in all black, dyed black hair, black makeup, black nails* “No it’s yellow”
friendly cheek kisses
has a slytherin/hufflepuff love/hate relationship with the ares kids
we try to serenade them too,,,,, it usually doesn’t go well
PUPPY DOG EYES ARE CONSTANTLY USED TO GET WHAT WE WANT
it’s very hard to be in a bad mood around the apollo kids
especially when they tilt their head and smile
like c’mon our smiles light up a room
probably introverted, but if you get to know us we’re the life of the party
zones out easily
often caught staring directly into the sun
either gets sleepy right at sundown or is up until 6 am
either very tall or very short
the taller you are the closer you are to the sun
gets hot easy too,,,, we go back and forth between freezing and burning to death
everyone thinks we’re the purest beings on the planet but OHOHO are they wrong
*suggestive comment*
“really??? in front of my salad?”
can pull arrows/bows/medical supplies/instruments from their asses
“NO, GEORGE YOU CANNOT PREFORM A BALAD TO THE APHRODITE KIDS RIGHT NOW. WE’RE EATING”
*pulls an entire guitar from behind back* “Watch me”
the aphrodite kids secretly love it
just
apollo kids guys
i have a request!!! you should write a daughter of apollo x leo valdez fic but based on espresso by sabrina carpenter (idk i feel like that song gives children of apollo vibes!) it'd be leo obsessed with the apollo girl (like him being absolutely obsessed with her, having the biggest crush on her possible, he constantly thinks about her, him being an absolute loser bf) and finally getting the courage to ask her out on a date or something like that.
“she’s like a shot of espresso…”
leo valdez x duaghter of apollo!reader
warnings: use of yn! english isn’t my first language so it might be some errors!!
thank you so much for your request, it made me so happy!! idk if what i wrote it’s exactly what you want but i hope you like it 🤕 this is my first timing writing a real fic and I think it really shows lol, but i promise I’ll try to improve in the next one, I’m so sorry if it’s that bad, and this is really short too? omg im really bad at this lol, but anyways, ly anon tell me your opinions (honestly) abt this later, kisses to uuu!! 🫶💗 (btw anon, please request other things I feel like I didn’t did you justice with this one)
words: 850
“is it that sweet? I guess so…..”
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ - ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
Leo was sure he was going crazy.
He always had a pretty big amount of silly crushes on girls, but with you? It was getting way too serious. Of course, you're beautiful, incredibly kind, and too generous for your own good, and you treated him well, but that isn't enough reason to make him lose sleep; at least that's what he thought.
And he was extremely wrong. Being in your presence was the equivalent of being bathed in the sunlight, and gods, he felt like a prisoner who hadn't seen the sun in years.
He's completely obsessed with you; he just needs the courage to verbalize that, but being honest, Leo felt like a coward at the moment.
While being lost in his thoughts (the thoughts being the pretty daughter of Apollo that never leaves his mind), the boy finally falls asleep.
Leo doesn't mind waking up if that means spending the day with the people he loves, so after getting ready for the day, he searches for you.
And he found you, talking with a much younger camper, helping him. You're smiling like it's the best day of your life, and Leo could swear that you're almost glowing.
The boy makes its way to you the same moment you finish talking to the kid, now having your full attention on Hephaestus' son.
"Leo! Good morning!" Your voice to him had the same effect as listening to his favorite music, it made him happy in ways he couldn't explain, even if his life depended on it.
"Yn! Good morning!" He mimics you, not in a bad way, just a teasing one. You roll your eyes in fake annoyance.
"Sooo, did you sleep well, Valdez?" You ask, seeming really interested in the answer, but he knows that you're like that for everything, being extremely kind.
"Not really, would be better if I dreamed about you," you laugh amusingly.
"You say that every day, y'know?"
"I know, I say because it's true. " You can't help but blush a little. You're used to Leo flirting with you, but it never gets past that, so you just learned to joke back.
"Hilarious, Valdez... fortunately, I slept very well today, and I'm more excited than normal! I think it's because it's so sunny today, that's awesome, was thinking about going to the lake later. I can't waste such a pretty day like this one painting inside my cabin..."
"Unfortunately, I'll be in the bunker today, I have lots of things to do."
"What? No! You're coming with me, you can't waste this wonderful day either!" You grab his hands, walking toward the lake.
Leo could swear he would pass out at that moment. He couldn't even think about denying your offer, he would prefer dying to doing that.
After a few seconds, you guys get to the lake.
"Look how pretty it is! You have to go swimming with me, it’s a need.”
"Look, sunshine, water and fire don't get along so well, so I might skip that one" he says, apologetic. You frown, thinking.
"We don't need to go swimming, we can just talk, i really don't care." You smile lovingly at him.
"I don't want to ruin your day! There are many people that can go with you, you'll find someone better to do that." He's so oblivious that it's getting concerning.
"I want to spend time with you, Valdez. I don't mind if it's swimming or just talking, I want to, you know..be with you."
"Oh." He's acting like a loser, he can't think straight anymore and is blushing like crazy, but who cares?
"Oh?" You tease him, smiling.
"Yeah, we can. Just talk, I'm happy with that. " His smile was so genuine that made your heart melt.
That's when you realize you're still holding his hand, and you don't want to change that. You can feel he notices too.
Something just snapped in his head, now it’s the time, now or never, right?
"Yn? Can I tell you something?" He says it in a quiet tone, and you just nod.
"When I'm around you, it's like constantly drinking a shot of espresso, it's like being bathed in sunlight, you're incredibly energetic and enthusiastic, and i just can't get enough of you, you're my sunrise and daylight....all I'm saying is, gods, I very much love you more than just friends" You're surprised, really surprised, so surprised that you can't even speak for a moment, which just makes Leo even more nervous.
"Please say something...like, anything, a no it's better than silence because it’s less-“ Before he yaps again, you interrupt him:
"I like you too." The boy almost squeals of pure excitement.
"Seriously? Oh gods, oh gods. What?" He's so happy, it's so sincere, so soft, it's amazing, you can feel your heart beating so fast, and you don't even care; seeing him like this because of you is the best feeling you ever felt.
Then you see that one look, meant just for you, it's like time has frozen, and you're both thinking the same thing. Then, like all the stars aligned, you kissed him
