POV: Lester is in the middle of beating the shit out of you, and in a daze of shock, confusion, and pain, you have a Madagascar like dream sequence while pummeling to the floor.

Aphrodite 🕊️🩷

ermmm hi first posts are always awkward but here's my Aphrodite I don't know. How tumblr works. 😅‼️What are all these things on my screen hell

Here's some details about her design... 🗣️

~ HER HAIR is fastened into a heart shaped bun by arrows! 💘 Of course a nod to her cheeky son, as well as just general imagery of "falling in love". Also, chains of bubble braids adorned with hearts down the length of her hair (cause don't bubble braids look like little pearls?? 🩷), as well as her hair fading to white at its ends, just like foam gathering at the ends of crashing waves 🌊 ~ SEAFOAM! I wanted to add lots of seafoam and ocean vibes– since that's what she was literally born from– so waves, and thin, perpetually wet fabrics (like the ones she's usually depicted wearing– whenever she's wearing clothes at all– in classical paintings!), and lots of actual seafoam all over her! ~ DEATHLESS AND INHUMAN, as signified by her more godly traits! She has teal-tipped nereid-like ears, and similar teal freckles dusted over her joints. Plus, she's got pearls for irises! And of course, those wings– dove wings, her sacred animal! As previously mentioned in my aeneas design (see my IG highlights! I'll post it here one day soon), she has super long hair, a trait I'm trying to keep wherever I can in divine/half-divine characters! ~ HER GOLDEN BELT of course I didn't forget to include it who do you think I am 🙄 YES I know it's a girdle now but my first impression of it was a thin little band okay?! ~ THOSE COLUMNS IN THE BACKGROUND I tried to fill them up with genitalia motifs. Just having fun with the sexy part of it LOL can you see them all?

[im-an-apollogist]

I think apollo would definitely enjoy playing into the oblivious immortal trope

Apollo picking people up and showing them off like cats

When you're a 3000-4000 year old grown man but you're dad still picks you up like a 5 year old/when you're 15 year old teenager and your friend is ageless god who was for a bit another mortal teenager picks you up like you're a weightless cat

(Aristeaus is more like 'dad huh?' while Leo is just straight up not computing the current situation)

Moly is ticklish especially under the armpits, a wiggly cat.

While Chiron is too big now to be properly picked up, this does not stop Apollo from trying.

He did 100% get picked up when he was a wee baby though (which must be an extra strange sensation for someone with 4 legs)

(also rip me i can't draw horses)

And bonus, Chiron getting carried like a sheep cause he zoomed too much and fell asleep.

You know what, how Apollo acts in the pjo verse which contrasts with his domains and legends actually seems to fit into today's climate if you look at this generation and specifically the arts.

We can't have anything serious anymore. There always has to be jokes or flashy colors. Just sitting down in emotions and letting art (specifically movies/shows) be still for a bit is something that is avoided and even cringed at. It can be seen as childish actually. Like, anything 'sappy' belongs in a children's media. I even see it in everyday life where it's hard to be serious with even those closest to me because it feels either cringey or toooo open.

Apollo is like the god of the arts. Music and poetry. Those mediums Im pretty sure were always taken pretty seriously. Was traditionally supposed to make you think. But now, today's most popular music is frankly not going outside the box, not taking many creative liberties, and they don't say much of anything important. They go by the rules.

No, that kind of art mostly falls on small time creators. This is mostly because of big rich corruptions ofc and it has affected everything. There's no room for something too bland or boring. Today, Art is loud and entertaining but it says nothing. And I think pjos Apollo in the beginning (his mask/persona) fits that perfectly.

He's constantly lying to trick seemingly both him self and most importantly Zeus that he doesn't care about anything. That he has no motives. That he's an idiot. And he's loud and arrogant about it. He plays into an annoying frat boy like persona. Not like a traditional poet or the god of knowledge.

This pjo story almost mirrors our today's society perfectly. The rulers of the land are getting more and more controlling. In response the people, the ARTS, are doing their best to appease the order their under because they are scared. It's only when creators get angry enough, where they have something to fight for, that the arts start to take a turn and become a powerful force. (Like after ToA)

I think it's a neat metaphor.
