It Seems Like The Kind Of Pattern The Pjo-verse Would Go For - Tumblr Posts

okay so i have a random history x pjo headcanon that is hilarious. it shouldn't make sense and yet-

king edward iv of england as the son of apollo.

hear me out here. there's all these theories about how edward iv was illegitimate, right? a lot of them don't really have that much of a basis, some of them do, yada yada. it's a very confusing topic in general. the main reason is because we think the birth/conception timeline is weird.

what a lot of people do argue is that cecily neville (edward iv's mom) allegedly had an affair with some archer while richard of york, her husband, was away. who's a god of archery? APOLLO. edward iv went on to become the first undisputed york king of england. what is a motif often associated with the house of york? THE SUNNE IN SPLENDOUR. the sun. which is apollo's territory according to pjo. there's other normal stuff, like edward looked pretty and had a lot of affairs, etc etc.

"but edward iv was a redhead!" and? there's no written rule apollo kids have to be blonde. who knows.
