Okay But Whyd They Name Him Lester Of All Things /j - Tumblr Posts
i was about to say it’d be cool if Lester met Apollo post trials and he got to go home and recover from the ordeal of the past several months, but then i realized something. Lester’s body didn’t survive the edge of Chaos, did it? Apollo regaining his immortality must’ve destroyed any part of it that was left.
Lester died.
He’s gone, and Apollo has no idea (unless he stumbles upon a missing poster and realizes that another innocent soul was sacrificed by Zeus just to punish Apollo, and oh he’d feel so guilty about it)
wtf i’m so sad now
So, I'm workin on an AU where Lester is a Real Person before Apollo takes over, yk. But we really need a baseline abt how he acts and who he is before I get into writing, so we need a place to write down all thats known abt him from a canon pov, to get a bit of a hold on him
He has a New York City Junior Drivers License. This doesn't seem important at first glance, however, junior drivers license means that you have to have some one over 21(usually a parent or legal guardian) to be in the car with you. That means that Real Person Lester has an adult in his life who is willing to sit in a car for long periods of time to let him get driving practice in, in New York City.
Despite his skills from his godly domain being diminished, Apollo still plays the ukulele well. Not only that, but he does not once complain about developing calluses on his hands(which is a painful process when you're doing it with metal strings, trust us), this implies that Meat Puppet Lester's hands already had calluses from metal strings. which, considering that that implies that Real Person Lester had a high end Ukulele rather than a cheap one, also implies that his legal guardian, whoever they might have been, would have supported Real Person Lester in his playing of the instrument, and wanted him to do well in playing so.
