Apollo - Blog Posts

Honestly though, I love all of the happy theories where Zag is just living his best life in the sequel, but so busy with something else he can't be the main character of the game. But at the same time I also want some angst to start with and then have the happy Zag and Mel sibling moments. (Feel free to use and expand any of these ideas. Frankly, I want to read 10,000 word fanfictions of all of them.) (Credit for transparent Melinoë: here and Moros & Dora: here)

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

The world needs more space nerds

Where can i get this book?

Tropes Galore!

"This book is dedicated to everyone who longed for a story solely centred on the Gods and Goddesses of Greek Mythology."

Throughout the years, I've noticed a plethora of retellings revisiting the mythos of the Trojan War, the Odyssey, and the adventures of the Greek heroes. However, I've always yearned for a story focused entirely on the drama-filled lives of the Gods alone.

Forget "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," I wanted to watch "The Real Housewives of Olympus"!

When I was younger, I devoured the old myths and found the gods seemingly an afterthought in many stories. Because the myths were written by men about men, the gods remained a mystery and left me wanting more.

With all the commotion happening on a mountaintop, I was never interested in the predictable 'Hero's Journey.' Instead, I wanted to know what Hera had for breakfast and, more importantly, what time Zeus got home the night before. Their sky drama had me hooked!

As I started writing my story in 2018, I felt compelled to stay true to the myths of the Gods. In my world, characters aren't simply black or white; they exist in many shades of grey. This doesn't make me dislike them for their faults; rather, it illustrates that people aren't purely good or evil—we encompass everything simultaneously. 

And for some, that concept is too frightening to grasp.

Now, on to the Tropes!

Love Triangle: Ares/Aphrodite/Hermes 😖

Sibling Rivalry: Ares/Hebe/Hephaestus vs. Hermes/Athena/Artemis 😏

Slow Burn: Hades/Persephone 🫣

Fated Mates: Ares/🤫 Hephaestus/🫢

Forbidden Loves: Hermes/Hera (it's kinda complicated 👀)

Touch Her & U Die: Ares/Hebe & Apollo/Artemis 🔥

Passions of the Gods is the first installment in a series of novels retelling the dark lore of Olympus. 

I never realized that tbh!

did anyone else ever find it odd how easily zeus offered percy godhood? and how it almost seemed like he secretly wanted percy to accept? well i did, and after thinking long and hard about it…

i don’t think percy understood what turning down godhood really meant

demigods do tasks for the gods because they don’t have to follow any rules. they aren’t controlled by anyone or anything. demigods are a strange hybrid - not god, not human. they are in between the laws of immortal and mortal. they are not supposed to exist. yet they do, which is what makes them so extraordinary.

percy is crazy powerful. of course, there’s the aspect of raw power. he has domain over air (storms/hurricanes), land (earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), and sea (monster waves, tsunamis, floods, basically anything that involves water.) he can control bodily fluids. he has super strength (with one hand, he held up an unconscious annabeth who was being pulled down by both arachne AND the forces of tartarus). he has super speed (he moves faster than bullets in TTC). no matter how badly you hurt him, he automatically heals and regenerates the second he touches water (an ability no other demigod has). he’s an extraordinary swordsman. very skilled in combat and warfare. he’s smart, and thinks of plans quickly. but he also has a great deal of social/poltcial power… i mean, he’s a leader and hero to both the greek and roman camps. if he says “attack,” all demigods, greek or roman, attack. no question. do you have any idea how threatening that is to the olympians? he’s also best friends and has an empathy link with the lord of the wild, which basically means all of nature is by his side too, including all land creatures. he’s also prince of horses, which means pegasi too (both of which are extremely useful in battle). and of course all sea creatures, including the mythical ones like krakens and leviathans. not to mention many of the gods really like him. hermes, hephaestus, athena, aphrodite, and dionysis have all gone out of their way to help him. artemis holds him in high regard, especially since he saved her. apollo literally considers him his friend! and poseidon - his dad, the god who is the biggest threat to zeus - is fiercely protective of him and cares about him a great deal. many minor gods also like him because he demanded them to be given more respect and for their kids to be welcomed at the camps.

percy unknowingly has more power, both physical and social/political, than anyone should ever have. he may have absolutely no idea, but it must scare the living daylights out of zeus. by accepting zeus’s offer to become a god, percy would have submitted himself to the control of zeus. zeus would be his king and ruler. zeus would then have complete control over him.

but percy said no. therefore, percy remains out of zeus’s control.

percy had no idea what he was doing. but thank the gods he made that choice. thank the gods he’s an incredible person. thank the gods percy jackson has no desire for power, because he has more of it than anyone should ever be able to have.

THE BOY I LIKE DECLARED HIMSELF TO ME TODAY!I'm so happy, he gave me a handmade bouquet of flowers and gave it to me, on the way out he said he liked me.

But I'm going to talk especially about Apollo in this too. I asked him for help with the boy I like, as I said in the last post. I made a bouquet for him and when I put it on the bed, the sun shone right on the bouquet. It's like Apollo is saying, "What's this? Who's this for?" And I said, and when I got home I said how he had said he liked me.

I'm going to make a sunflower for Apollo, and this is my first romantic experience, so wish me luck!

On Sunday, I got my act together and made a little altar to Apollo on the bookshelf in my bedroom. I felt lighter and better afterwards. Before going to sleep, I asked him to help me with my sick dog, and with the boy I like, but he was optional and my priority was my sick dog.

Yesterday I felt that he wanted a hyacinth on his altar. I started at nine in the morning and only finished at eleven at night, almost midnight. Of course I stopped for lunch, a snack and dinner.

After I finished, I felt light again, and it made sense that he wanted and asked for the hyacinth with him in the same way that I asked for my loved ones to be with me. It's dawn and guess what? The sun hit the hyacinth flower first and then lit up my room. And the weather is overcast and it's really cold for me, the light wasn't supposed to appear in my room so soon!

It looks beautiful and I don't regret the hours of sore hands. And Apollo seems happy too.

All hail hapollo
