as a hellenic worshipper of apollo and a regressor this is so so so cute!!!

sleepy apollon kiddo

Nero: I have an army

Apollo: (blurts out defensively) We have Percy jackson

Percy, in the distance: NO YOU DONT

Apollo: But I'm immortal!

Percy: Then why do you scream whenever you're in danger?

Apollo: I never said I wasn't a drama queen

Apollo: Hello

Percy: Hellno

Demeter: So, on to plan B?

Athena: technically, this is plan G

Posiedon: Like how many plans do you have. What about a plan H?

Athena: Yes, but Apollo gets thrown into tartarus in plan H

Artemis: I like plan H

Lol i love god siblings

Me studying for exam but EPICs keep playing in my mind so I post this just to calm down my nerve:)

I love the idea that the Gods are closed siblings, some being biased and willing to fight just for nothing

I absolutely love this take.

I saw a lot of posts, where is implied that Apollo in God Games doesn't care about Odysseus and his situation at all. But what if it's other way around and Apollo just cares too much?

Mythologically Apollo and Hermes are friends. And looks like Hermes cares about his grandgrandson (Odysseus' grandfather is son of Hermes). Hermes was the only god who helped Odysseus even without being asked, just because Hermes wanted to help him.

I just imagine, that Hermes keeps an eye on Odysseus and constantly chatters to Apollo about him, calling him Ody. So thats why Apollo choose such a ridiculous reason as sirens, and uses "Ody" - he wants to help just because of his friendship with Hermes.

I need help!!

So i have two Altars, one for Artemis and one for Apollo in my bedroom (i live with my family)

I am planning on moving out in June

But, the room that i am in, is going to br converted into a Air BNB (its a long story)

So im going into a much smaller room temporarily until i can figure out my shit and move in with a friend of mine

What i had wanted to do, was put theyre altars away in boxes until i move into the apartment so i can put them down (there will be no space in the temp room)

How can i do that without disrespecting or angering them

kura'in polly. kura'in polly with mikeko.

i love him.

Hello :)

I saw your pest!apollo au and it spawned a intrusive thought. I already posted about it but decided you needed to suffer with me.

We don’t talk about Bruno but with Apollo as Bruno.

Suffer :)

Encanto itself is already very Olympic family coded, now with a prophet who is hated by half of the pantheon it is even more

Go check em out their oc world is so coool

I need this despretly in a multy book series, IMIDIETLY

This might be just me but I feel like Hyacinthus could’ve played a huge role in the Apollo kids’s lives. So since I’m mentally unstable and very gay I have an idea!

Instead of hyacinthus being mere flowers what if they possess the soul of Hyacinthus? To mere mortals their just flowers, but to campers if their lucky enough get to see the body and soul of Hyacinthus. Demeter kids can talk to him but people don’t really believe that they can and that it’s a fake myth.

Hyacinths flowers bloom all around Apollo kids and areas no matter the weather. And whenever an Apollo kid is hurt he blooms around them like a barrier and reveals himself to the monster, sometimes being able to signal for help or scare off the monster.

Apollo kids always talk about this “myth” some saying they saw him, some saying they felt him, but no one can ever agree on if he’s real or not.

But one thing is for sure, if he can’t be with Apollo and love him, then he will be the protector of his children.

Which of Rick Riordan's Characters are you?

This quiz will use characters from PJatO, HoO, KC, MCatGoA, ToA, and D&M. Yay! :D Sorry the quiz is coming out so late, I haven't had much t

Here it is again for anyone who wants it! I redid the test, and I got Sadie!

The fact that Python is Apollo's greatest enemy and snake is Asclepius' sacred animal will always be funny

Finally set my drawing tablet back, but damn, my drawing tablet is so shitty, this drawing took much longer than it should because I had to work around which the screen would like, glitch

Anyways here’s a sketch of Apollo!

My friends got me on EPIC: The Musical, which got me on some Greek mythology, so I’m in a phase now

And today/yesterday I’ve been drawing Apollo and Hermes, inspired by the animatics I’ve seen other artists do for EPIC

They’re very sketch

That’s the first one I did of Apollo, you will notice, for both Apollo and Hermes I draw them very, as my friend said, like twink thirst traps 😭

Added a leg slit(?) in his skirt because he can be sluttier. Him with his lyre/bow ✨

Next I tried Hermes, but the first sketch I did I wasn’t the biggest fan of :/

The only thing I couldn’t get right was the face/helmet. I’ve been not so good at drawing front facing view of faces for some reason lately

The second try with a different ish look came out better

This Hermes is more inspired by EPIC if you couldn’t tell by the sunglasses in his hand and the Dawling ✨ (Troy is so meant to be Hermes. Wouldn’t You Like and Dangerous are my favorite songs in the musicals Istg)

Another Hermes, yapping

That one was mid but oh well

Next I drew both of them together

They’re besties, they gossip, they ate

I did add a hairpin to Apollo, and on it is like, the same charm that Hermes has on his messenger bag, a stone with a wing/feather

Plus another of them yapping

Also gave them friendship necklaces cuz why not lmao

And last but not least I again drew Apollo

Not as proportionate as I’d like but good enough, my creative juices with drying out. I added an arrow tattoo to his thigh because why not (speaking of I love the sun tattoo on his pec)

Anyways that’s been my little drawing craze from the last few hours, maybe when I get my hands on my drawing tablet I can crank out a piece that looks as good as my pencil sketches

*quietly sneaking into another fandom*

Opinion of the day: Mythological inconscistencies apart, i think Disney cooked on some gods drawings for Hércules the Animated Series.

Theory

Lucifer from Christianity and Apollo from Greek mythology are the same person

I wanna see more people talk about it.

I am maybe Jewish, but I'm currently obsessed with the character of Lucifer in the Christianity or as they are known in Judaism, Samael, and sometimes also known as Satan.

He's so similar to Apollo from Greek mythology. Greek mythology was my obsession before I took an interest in Jewish borderline Christian mythology. (Specially the concepts of heaven and hell, more specifically angels and more specifically hyperfixiate on Lucifer/Samael/Satan and how their character is perceived in cultures).

Apollo and Lucifer are the same person. I saw some references of Lucifer to Venus but I never saw about someone talk about their similarity to Apollo.

- living in the kingdom of celestial beings like them that is high in the sky.

- a very strong light relation- Apollo the god of light and sun between other things, he has a very strong relation to everything related to light.

Lucifer the light bringer, even Lucifer former name, Samael, have a meaning related to light in Hebrew. סמאל/סמאאל comes from the Hebrew word סמא that has a light related meaning (a very strong light), and the word אל (el) that means god (Like in Gabriel, Michael, Ezrael, and etc). Or in other words, the light of God.

- The one who brings the light (Lucifer the light bringer, Apollo in his chariot)

- The young child of the big mighty god that tried to overthrown their dad the big old dad and started a rebellion. Apollo tried twice to take over Zeus revenge his dad. And Lucifer also started a rebellion against God to revenge and overthrown him. And as their punishment their dad casts them down to earth from the kingdom in the sky.

- related concepts of beauty and appearance related to light. Apollo is the model of male beauty in ancient Greece. Both men and women adores him. He's described as golden because of his relation to sun and light. Lucifer is the prettiest among the angels, he had golden hair and white wings, giving him a very golden and maybe even pure appearance.

- related concepts of passions and enjoyment. Apollo is more a character of revelry lifestyle (not to confuse with Dionysus that also have a relation to this) and the arts professions, encourage people to become more free. Lucifer also encouraging people to follow their pleasures, to sin, and party and become more free. Lucifer is just want to free people

Basically they both just tell you to enjoy and do what you love and want.

Again, young beautiful rebel child of the big mighty God in a kingdom in the sky with a strong relation and appearance related to light started a rebellion, their dad casts them to earth for their "sins", the light bringer, encourage people to do what they want and follow their passions.

Maybe it's a coincidence, I don't know (it's not)

Anyway what's your opinion? Can you find more characters in other mythologies that are similar and also in this pattern? I would like to know

Wanted to post a WIP of a possible tattoo I’d like to get. Still experiencing difficulty in finalizing a design for the feather and arrow. Not to mention deciding upon color or not. But I’m happy with it’s current route.

escapril prompt: grief

Tonight I leave behind nightmares of yesteryear. Of memories drenched in tears of shattered possibilities. For light has broken through din and haze. And I await your warm embrace delivered upon morning’s arrival.

May we cultivate a shameless cycle of self-love built upon the smoldering embers of grief so that I may create once more. In your name. In your visage.

Apollo has a grip on my mind.

I already know who is getting all my nectar and Ambrosia.

Part 4.

Esmeria sat with her back to the window of Enid and Wednesday's room, playing with the sleeves of her grey jumper. She was bored, and wanted something to distract her. That something came in the form of Wednesday Addams walking into the room, pausing at the sight of the brunette on the floor. "Why are you in here?"

Esmeria stood up. "Oh! I didn't like being alone in my room. I can leave if you-"

"No." Wednesday shook her head, hiding her own surprise at the sound of her voice. "It's okay. But be quiet, this is my writing time."

Esmeria smiled and sat back down as Wednesday placed a record on the gramophone and sat down. La Llorona played as the clicking of Wednesday's typewriter filled the air. Esmeria was scrolling through Twitter.

Suddenly, Wednesday's bed squeaked. Both girls looked up from their respective activities, Wednesday being the first to notice a lump crawling underneath the covers. She lunged over, flipping the covers back to reveal a hand running across the bed, pausing upon spotting Wednesday.

"I knew it! Hello, Thing." The hand leapt from the mattress to the bedframe, latching on as Wednesday grabbed its wrist, yanking it towards the desk and slamming it down. Esmeria had to admit, Wednesday did look rather hot.

Esmeria walked up behind Wednesday as she was talking to the hand. "Did you think my highly trained olfactory sense wouldn't pick up on the faint whiff of neroli and bergamot in your favorite hand lotion?"

The hand slightly quivered. Wednesday's eyebrow quirked. "I could do this all day."

The desk started shaking from the amount of quivering that the hand was doing, while Esmeria started humming the actual song 'I could do this all day'. You know the one from Rogers: The Musical in Hawkeye? Yeah, that's it.

The hand saw Esmeria standing behind Wednesday and started frantically signing at the black-clad girl. Wednesday sighed. "Thing, that's Esmeria. She's a... friend. Esmeria, this is Thing."

"Hello Thing!" Esmeria chirped, seemingly unfazed by the whole thing. I mean, she had seen weirder stuff.

Wednesday went back to her previous conversation with the hand. "Mother and Father sent you to spy on me, didn't they? I'm not above breaking a few fingers. That they thought I wouldn't find out proves how much they underestimate me."

"Oh Thing, you poor, naive appendage. My parents aren't worried about me. They're evil puppeteers who pull strings from afar. The way I see it, you have two options. Option one." Wednesday lifted Thing up and pulled open her desk drawer.

"I lock you in here for the rest of the semester, and you go slowly insane trying to claw your way out, ruining your nails and your smooth, supple skin. And we both know how vain you are." She placed the shaking hand back on the desk. "Option two. You pledge your undying loyalty to me."

Thing slowly but surely lowerd into the hand version of a bow. Although having been introduced to the hand, Esmeria was still unsure what to make of the situation. Wednesday lightly nodded. "Our first order of business is to escape this teenage purgatory."

Thing quickly signed something.

"Of course I have a plan. And it begins now."

Esmeria shook her head. "No- Sorry- Excuse me, but what the Underworld is going on right now? I'm very confused."

Wednesday sighed. "I suppose proper introductions would be appropriate. Esmeria, this is Thing. No one knows how long he has been in the family, and no one knows where the rest of his body is."

Esmeria nodded. "Oh, ok! Well, I'm Esmeria, Wednesday's kind-of friend."

Thing waved, before signing something to Esmeria. She tilted her head. "Well, my main power is being able to control plants."

Wednesday lifted her head. The mystery was unraveling, and she wouldn't admit it, but she was getting excited. "So, how can you do that? Is one of your parents a witch or warlock or something of the like?"

Esmeria shook her head and thought for a second. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to tell you guys... It is a bit shocking though."

Wednesday shrugged. "We're in Nevermore. Isn't everything shocking?"

Esmeria adjusted how she was standing. "My mum is Persephone, and my dad is Hades. Yes, I am talking about the god and goddess."

Wednesday's eyes widened slightly. "Really?" She stood up and began circling Esmeria like a hawk, studying her. "Greek Mythology is all real?"

Esmeria tilted her head from side to side. "Majority of the different pantheons are. It depends on what you believe in, I suppose."

Wednesday very lightly chuckled. "Fascinating."

Esmeria's eyes blew open. "Did I just make THE Wednesday Addams laugh?"

Wednesday immediately sat back down. "No."

Esmeria laughed, and Wednesday almost blushed. "Well Wednesday Addams, I'll be seeing you. Keep my secret and remember, reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold!"

Then the brunette stepped backwards, and melted into the shadows of Wednesday's wall. The girl with ebony hair sighed. "Thing, there is something wrong with me. I have this weird feeling, like spiders are crawling in my stomach."

"No, I can't like her."

"Because she will never like me back!"

❀⁂❀⁂❀

Meanwhile, Esmeria was in her room, frantically texting the groupchat she shared with her cousins.

Part 3.

Esmeria was leaning against a wall, the sound of swords clashing filling the air around her. She looked over to the door as it opened, revealing a short girl dressed in an entirely black fencing outfit.

Wednesday Addams.

Esmeria's eyes followed Wednesday across the room before flicking to where Bianca and Rowan had been dueling as a thud sounded, signaling Rowan falling over and Bianca winning once again.

Rowan immediately started trying to defend himself. "Coach, coach, she tripped me!"

Coach Vlad shook his head. "It was a clean strike, Rowan."

Bianca pulled her helmet off. "Maybe if you whined less and practiced more, you wouldn't suck."

Esmeria tilted her head. For all intents and purposes, that was actually quite true. Bianca wasn't done though. "Seriously coach, when am I gonna get some real competition? Anyone else wanna challenge me?"

Esmeria opened her mouth, knowing that she could easily beat the siren if she wanted to, but Wednesday got there first, speaking as she stepped foward. "I do."

Bianca smiled the fakest smile Esmeria had ever seen. "Oh, you must be the psychopath they let in."

Wednesday retaliated immediately. "And you must be the self-appointed Queen Bee. Interesting thing about bees. Pull out their stingers, they drop dead."

There was a muffled 'ooh' from the surrounding fencers, and Esmeria's lips quirked in amusement.

Bianca stepped foward lightly. "Rowan doesn't need you to come to his defense. He's not helpless, he's lazy."

Wednesday sighed imperceptibly, speaking harshly. "Are we doing this or not?"

So they did. Three out of three. By the end of the first two matches, both girls had a single point. Esmeria turned her head to the coach as he spoke. "The score is even."

Wednesday and Bianca pulled off their masks, the latter with a grin upon her lips. "That first point was clearly beginners luck. Let's finish this."

Wednesday moved towards Coach Vlad. "For the final point, I would like to invoke a military challenge. No masks. No tips."

The surrounding fencers 'ooh'ed again as Wednesday finished speaking. "Winner draws first blood."

Esmeria kicked herself off the wall, walking foward to stand next to the coach. "This should be interesting."

Wednesday glanced over, having only just noticed the brunette. She sure was quiet. Bianca glared at Esmeria. "Shut it, death breath."

The coach brushed them both off. "It's your decision, Bianca."

Bianca opened and closed her mouth, and Wednesday tilted her head. Was Bianca... scared?

Apparently not, for the siren regained her composure and spoke with so much sass that one would think her name was Percy Jackson. "Let's see if you bleed in black and white."

Bianca threw her mask to the side, and the two immediately lunged at each other, ducking and twirling across the room. Bianca lunged at Wednesday, and the girl sprung into a cartwheel. If Esmeria wasn't drooling before, she was now. Their blades clashed for a few more seconds before Bianca swung her sword, slicing Wednesday's skin just above her left eyebrow.

Esmeria audibly gasped. Wednesday's finger lightly wiped the cut, in disbelief at the sight of the blood on her finger. Bianca smiled sarcasticly. "Your face finally got that splash of color it so desperately needed."

Esmeria walked over. "Shove off, Bianca." She lightly grabbed Wednesday's arm, leading her out of the room, letting go of the slightly taller girl's arm as the door shut behind them. "Are you ok? Wait, that's a dumb question. How are you feeling?"

Wednesday stared blankly at Esmeria. Why was this girl being so nice to her? Wednesday wasn't complaining, but the two had barely spoken. "I feel... off."

Esmeria raised an eyebrow. "In a good way or a bad way?"

Wednesday shrugged slowly. "I don't know."

Esmeria thought for a second before she spoke. "Well, let's get you to the nurse's office and get that cut cleaned up, ok?"

Wednesday frowned. "I don't want someone I've never met touching my head."

Esmeria nodded. "I suppose that is a bit weird. How about I do it? Would that be ok?"

Wednesday paused. She'd never had anyone like Esmeria care for her before. Wednesday liked it. Anytime Esmeria said something, it felt like there were spiders crawling in her stomach. "I suppose that would be acceptable."

Esmeria grabbed Wednesday's hand, walking towards the nurse's office. Wednesday was glad that Esmeria in front, so the brunette couldn't see the blush that was spreading across her face. What was wrong with her?

Esmeria pushed open the door to the nurse's office, leading Wednesday over to one of the beds that was in the room, waving off the nurses who tried to take Wednesday away from her.

One nurse made the mistake of taking hold of the black-clad girls arm. Esmeria stepped foward, glaring at the nurse. "Let go of her."

The nurse scoffed. "I am in charge here, young lady. I say what goes."

Esmeria stepped in front of Wednesday, staring into the nurse's eyes. "I said. Let. Go."

The nurse gasped lightly, stepping back at the sight of literal black flames burning in the brunette's eyes. An ember leapt out and burned her arm, making her gasp again and scurry away.

Wednesday raised an eyebrow. "What did you do Esmè?"

Esmeria blushed at the use of the nickname and shrugged. "Just a little party trick my dad taught me. Now sit still."

Wednesday did so. Esmeria brought a wet cloth up to the cut, dabbing it so as to remove the blood. She placed it down and picked up a band-aid, turning back to Wednesday and gulping at their close proximity.

She reached out to hold the side of Wednesday's head in place. "Is that ok?" She breathed.

Wednesday nodded, her heartbeat stalling for a second as Esmeria's soft fingers held her cheek, lightly pressing the band-aid onto her forehead.

The moment was shattered as Rowan's voice broke out behind Wednesday. "You're Wednesday, right?"

Wednesday slowly turned her attention from Esmeria to Rowan, and the brunette quietly left the room, not wanting to intrude on their conversation.
