[shitpostingkats]

Actually bonkers to me that astrology Apollo is real. What do you mean he wasn't just panickedly saying whatever came to mind while talking to Vera. YOU'RE TELLING ME HE IS BEST FRIENDS WITH CLAY AND HE READS THE DAILY HOROSCOPES. THEIR FRIENDSHIP IS BUILT OF TITANIUM.

[athenaareia]

just done reading WTHB by the amazing @anotheroceanid and let me just say this stuff is definitely a little addictive.

something something Nico builds Bianca a grave and he puts flowers on her grave and he's mourning the part of him that died with her.

OH. MY. GOSH. I just realized all my new mutuals & followers don’t know what Bloom of the Sun (BOTS) is????????

BOTS is a historical fiction I’m writing abt Apollo and Hyacinthus, I post the chapters every month or so because I am a PROCRASTANATOR and it IS my Roman Empire. UHM. YEAH.

Games I Experienced Between 4/11/25-6/14/25

There are four Next Fest demos on here and the next update is going to be almost half demos. I love this event :)

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney trilogy (played): These games are mechanically perfect but the stories are nonsensical and unethical.

Blackwell Unbound (watched: ZenBear): The relationships between Joey and his mediums are everything to me. That said, Lauren is cool but I miss Rosangelaaaa :(

Castlevania Legends (watched: Kikoskia): I think there are some people who would be very upset to learn that this was my first experience with Castlevania ever

Chook & Sosig: Walk the Plank (played): Does not resemble any TTRPG I’ve ever heard of, but from me that isn’t saying much.

Cryptmaster (played): Apparently there was a major update launched not long after I finished this one. I'd be interested if it wasn't 100% about the optional card game. I liked Whatever, but not that much.

Deltarune (played): Mettatenna exists but can you also believe that I enjoyed other parts of this game, as well?

Dispatch (played demo): I don't care about literally a single one of the highly advertised voice actors, but the game itself seems incredible.

Downhill (played demo): I think this one is trying to do something very similar to Deltarune, just in a much more overt way (you as the player can actually converse with the protagonist).

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (watched: Welonz): I still think they should just let Sephiroth destroy the world or whatever it is he wants to do.

Golden Idol Investigations: The Lemurian Phoenix (played): Language puzzle, translation puzzle, yay!

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage (played): Somehow, this game about teenagers in the 1990's made me, an almost-30 in the 2020's, hopeful that it's not too late to live a life worth living.

Luna (played): Frankly a little shocked to see people from Supergiant and DoubleFine thanked in the credits of this very mid game

My Card Is Better Than Your Card! (played demo): So cute! Makes my sticker-loving heart sing.

Occlude (played demo): I have never really played Solitaire so I spent more time trying to figure out how Solitaire itself worked than actually engaging with the twists the game put on it. Seems like a good puzzley game for smarter people than me.

Promise Mascot Agency (played): Similar to all-time favorite Paradise Killer in a lot of ways, but different in very surprising ways, as well. I'm never the biggest fan of management mechanics and I do sometimes feel like they get in the way of exploring the open world.

Sarawak (played): I had a nice interaction with someone on Backloggd who suggested another game with similar vibes when I expressed that I liked this one and wanted more like it!

Your Turn To Die (watched: adricarra): I'm really surprised that I've been able to follow such a complicated game while watching it for the first time in Spanish.

[ai-the-broccoli]

personally my preferred take/trope for Klapollo is actually "what if they're yuri (w/ nb apollo and genderqueer klav) specifically in a Touko & Yuu from Bloom into You way"

[vague-ish yagakimi/bloom into you spoilers under the cut]

something something "pull the darkness out of him"

(note: the image above is a symbolic representation of how Touko appears perfect and popular, and yet at the same time she shines in the spotlight, she has actually been living in the metaphorical shadow of her [7 years older] sister for 7 years now ever since a certain incident back then, and has not been able to escape. after finding out about what exactly happened 7 years ago, Yuu is concerned for Touko and is determined to free her from that shadow)

and also this. this dynamic

(see: vibes, height gap, hairstyles, etc.)

this is just a tl;dr but yeah. does anyone see my vision

Oc inspired/inspo of Apollo(style not character)

[aceisferal]

I haven’t gotten much work done on the flower farm/earth au yet but I have this snippet of Paz and Axe (and Ragnar) in the future so

—————

As he scrubs a pan, focusing on a patch of burnt on pasta, Paz looks out the window. There’s a group of children running through one of the wildflower fields off in the distance, playing a game of hide and go seek tag that’s more running and tagging than seeking and hiding. A little closer, Apollo is pulling a cat out of a tree and handing it to his youngest, Crow, if Paz remembers right. Most importantly, and practically just outside the windows, Axe and Ragnar are pulling weeds from the garden.

Or, they were a minute ago, before Axe started spraying Ragnar with the water hose. Then Ragnar threw a handful of dirt at him, which lead to Axe throwing a handful of dirt back. This all very quickly became a full mud fight. Paz gently slips the pan back into the sink, takes off the dishwashing gloves he was wearing, and opens the window, preparing to scold the both of them.

Instead though, he’s met with the loud and genuine sound of laughter— both the distant giggles of the children in the field, but also the loud laughter of Axe and Ragnar, and he just can’t bring himself to tell them to stop. They’re already muddy and dirty, though, so he’ll have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t try and come inside and trek mud through the place. Shame, it seems like Paz will have to keep the window open.

Bloom in The Dark/Legends of Olympus: Young Gods' ages

(note: due to Olympians aging much slower than humans in this universe, they are still much older than any mortal while still being children mentally and physically.)

Hermes: 18-19

Artemis & Apollo: 16-17

Persephone: 13-14

Eros: 9-10 (though he acts much younger due to Aphrodite spoiling him)

Hebe: 6-7 (though she is a child prodigy)

(Yes, i took some artistic liberties regarding some of their ages, but it was mostly done because 1). I was just basing their ages on vibes, and 2). since BiTD and LoO are meant to be comedic reimaginings of Greek Mythology [for the most part], I thought this would make for better character dynamics and chemistry between them.)

DROWNED LOVE

How the gods would mourn after the reader died

A/N: Heyy!! I will be working on an alternative version in the next few days, what if one of the gods (who knows heheh) helps the reader to get back to Ithaca (she probably only returns to her family after the events of the Ithaca Saga).

And no, we don't greet happiness with open arms :)

°•○☆○•°

Zeus:

જ⁀➴Would mourn you for thousands of years.

જ⁀➴ Created a cloud that has your shape.

જ⁀➴Despairs because the cloud is not exactly like you. If you are mentioned near him, he would look at the person threateningly.

જ⁀➴Blames others for your death.

જ⁀➴"My beloved, not a day will go by that I won't miss you!"

Poseidon:

જ⁀➴After your death, the seas trembled and for years they were plagued with violent storms

જ⁀➴Tries to carry on as best he can Often argues with Zeus about who is to blame

જ⁀➴Would build you a monument that he would put in his palace

જ⁀➴All mortal women he fell in love with always resembled you in appearance or character.

જ⁀➴"My beloved, may the waves sing you to sleep, no matter where you are"

Hades:

જ⁀➴He mourned most of his brothers

જ⁀➴It tore him apart to see his brothers like this, but he knew it was best for you

જ⁀➴Yet he watched you every day from the underworld

જ⁀➴Even when you died, he immediately welcomed you into his home, but didn't say anything to the other gods.

જ⁀➴"Find peace in your end, rest now little one"

Apollo:

જ⁀➴THIS MAN IS SUFFERING

જ⁀➴He has lost the protégé he loved so much

જ⁀➴It seemed as if the sun wasn't shining as brightly anymore

જ⁀➴He dedicated songs, poems and works of art to you

જ⁀➴What had happened was something he never wanted to happen, he had lost the person he loved again

જ⁀➴He transformed something that had once belonged to you into a beautiful flower that could bloom even in the worst of circumstances.

જ⁀➴"The sun protects you everywhere, my sunshine, bloom where no one else can bloom"

Hera:

જ⁀➴Look you might think she would not be sad, BUT SIKE!!!

જ⁀➴Hera felt very sorry for you, you were just an innocent soul who couldn't do anything about the fate that had befallen you

જ⁀➴Hera grew fond of you and saw you like a daughter

જ⁀➴Hera took out her anger on her husband, how could he take her beloved girl!?

જ⁀➴Hera sees you everywhere, whether under the tree in the Garden of the Gods or in the Great Hall.

જ⁀➴"At least you don't have to put up with my husband anymore, my little girl"

Hermes:

જ⁀➴This boy will hide his sadness behind his usual smile

જ⁀➴He will crack jokes and play pranks on people as usual

જ⁀➴I would say he lives in a world where you are still alive

જ⁀➴He will look at others and think that you are standing right next to him

જ⁀➴He will not accept that you are gone, and the other gods will have to watch the messenger of the gods living in this illusion

જ⁀➴"What do you say Dawling? Oh I love the idea!"

Do you like Greek Mythology? Are you gay? Well of course you are, you are still reading after I mentioned Greek Mythology (AND you're in tumblr). Do you also like reading? Well do I have a deal for you, Bloom of the Sun is a book I'm writing about the myth of Hyacinthus & Apollo !! It is a re-telling of the ancient myth of one of the first ever recorded queer people in history !! (Is this convincing you to read it?)

[apricot-blossomss]

would it be okay to ask for maybe A dionysus/hermes/Apollo x Reader?

The gods just love giving reader multiple praises to the point it completely overwhelms them/pos

(seperate please!)

the greek gods showering mortal!f!reader in praise [apollo, hermes, dionysus x reader]

sfw, cw: mentions of a praise kink, not proofread

feels good to finally upload again, I hope I'll find more time to write next week!

APOLLO

There was perhaps no greater blessing for you personally than listening to Apollo sing, and once one witnessed him, they would find themselves aggreing with you. Which was why you had no objection when Apollo interrupted your little make out session on his settee to ask you wether he could play a song for you. Quite the opposite, actually. But now, you almost regretted it, because you felt like your head was about to explode.

His golden eyes were locked to yours, making you unable to turn your head and hide from the might of his words. Endless praise and adoration fell from his lips in the most beautiful melody. You suddenly realized you were crying, but you made no attempt to wipe the tears away as you were frozen in place, growing hotter by the minute. With newfound intensity, Apollo recited the next verses, lips pulled into a little smile as he flooded your poor helpless mind with words of devotion.

You couldn't do this any longer, you buried your burning face in your hands, overwhelmed by his divine love. The way each word sounded so genuine you began to doubt the very existence of the lie. Nearly shaking, you pulled your legs to your chest and whined. "Oh gods, please stop, it's too much!"

A soft coo made you look back up at him as Apollo played some closing strings and put the lyre aside to pull you into his lap, right were the lyre had sat. Hiding your face in your chest, you attempted to conceal the deep red of your cheeks. "You can't just say stuff like that," you muffled into his tunic and a soft rumble made his chest vibrate.

"Like what?" he asked, caressing your hidden face with his index finger before placing it underneath your chin, guiding your face up to look at him. "It's all true. Every time I look at you, my sunshine, I am lifted, gazing upon a masterpiece that must've been sculpted by a god. Or perhaps, you are your own artist?" Apollo allowed himself a little grin when you let out a loud whine and slapped his chest. Gently, his fingers closed around your wrist as he guided it to his lips to trail kisses up your arm.

"Your smile could rival the warmth of spring itself—it awakens my heart as surely as the season revives the earth." His words were blooming as always, masterfully crafted sentences praising you, as his lips, hushed into a soft whisper, trailed up your arm. "No lyre could ever match the harmony of your laughter. My music is a mere attempt to echo your perfection. You are as brilliant as all the stars of the night sky. Every word you speak is a melody to my ears, every thought of yours a revelation."

His lips reached your shoulder, making their way to your throat that was taken over by a bright pink tone, it felt like your whole body blushed, like the pink blossoms in spring. "You're going to be the death of me," you said breathlessly, burying your hands in his hair and keeping his head in place in the crook of your neck, so he couldn't talk any more of his charming words.

Apollo laughed into your neck, it muffled the sound but couldn't lessen the melody of it. A shuddering breath left your lips as you pulled him closer, and though they flustered you, you savored his words, remembering every little phrase to keep in your heart forever.

HERMES

Gods curse the day Hermes found out you had a praise kink. Because ever since he had realized how much his compliments flustered you, he exploited it maliciously. Humming sweet praises into your ear when you were going about your day and doing the most mundane things, leaving you blushing and spluttering as he retracted with a cackle. Giving you the sweetest compliments anytime he would find you unsuspecting, with your guard down, and utterly humiliating you as your heart would start to race and all you could muster up were weak stutters of embarrassment.

So, when he plopped down on the couch next to you, stretching his limbs after a long day of godly duties and regarding you with that cheeky, mischievous smile, you knew what ideas formed in his head, as if you were able to read his thoughts. Immediately, your flight instinct kicked in as you retreated into the kitchen as quickly as possible- though not fast enough. In the blink of an eye, the sneaky god had caught up to you and dragged you back into the couch with him, pulling you into his lap.

His nose nudged your chin and you could practically hear the smirk in his voice. "How's my beautiful girlfriend doing today?" Ignoring your petty kicking, he giggled. "You know I'm faster than you, you know I know my way around you- though, you know, you’ve got this spark about you—like you could talk your way out of anything. It’s kind of my thing, but I think you do it better."

"You're insufferable," you sighed, though you felt your cheeks heat up embarrassingly. When his fingers trailed over your stomach, you squeaked and pushed them away, making Hermes throw back his head in a loud laugh. For a moment, you were mesmerized by him- the sound of his laugh, the bounce of his curly hair, the way his face lit up, eyes squeezed shut and cheeks pink. Then, he started talking once more.

"I used to think of myself as the best of thieves," Hermes sighed, drawing circles on your thigh. "But you outdo my trickery, love, as you have stolen my heart away from right under my nose." Don't blush, don't blush, don't blush, you thought to yourself, but you knew you were as red as a tomato by now. Stuttering out protests, you felt your stomach constrict in the best way and tried to wiggle out of his arms, a fruitless attempt.

Turning your head, you glared at him, but only got a cheeky smile in return. Hermes tipped his hat and chuckled. "Gods, you're so hot when you're mad." You gave him a deadpan stare and his smile only widened. "And so cute when you're blushing like this. Honestly, sweetheart, I think you could make everything more sexy."

In a final attempt to cut him off before you could make a complete fool of yourself (even more so than you'd already done), you crashed your lips into his. And of course, Hermes would never deny you, so his eager hand shot up to cup your face and tilt it in order to get a better angle to kiss you completely senseless on his lap.

Little did he know, you had been waiting for this moment of weakness. With his hands busying themselves with cradling your face, you jumped out of his lap, evaded his reaching arms and ran upstairs, laughing breathlessly. Of course, he could've caught up with you in an instance, but Hermes seemed determined to give you a fair chase, because when you reached the highest stair, you could hear his voice, still from downstairs.

"Baby, I think that was just about the hottest thing I ever saw."

DIONYSUS

"No cuddles with that breath" you protested, dismissing your lover's drunken attempts to wrap his arms around you. Whining, Dionysus forced himself halfway into your lap, in spite of your slapping at his chest and arms, looking up at you with dreamy eyes, glazed over by the effect of whatever alcohol emitted its odeurs from his mouth. Rolling your eyes, you attempted to shove him off. "If you want to bother someone, go and hang out with your brothers."

"Nooo," Dioynsus gave a long, drawn out protest and you found yourself lamenting how he could be a thousand years old and this childish at the same time. "You are more fun," the god pouted, squinting up at you. You complimented yourself on showing no reaction whatsoever on the outside, but your insides secretly did somersaults.

"If you want fun, why don't you throw a party?" you said dismissively, flicking his temple to which he responded with another whine. At your words, a drunken little smile creeped onto his face. "You make everything more fun, even doing nothing. I swear, you’re better than wine… and that’s saying something."

"If I'm better than wine, how come that's what you have been drinking for the last hours?" you asked with a raised brow. With a genuinely shocked expression, Dionyuss shot up and stared at you wide-eyed. "You're right. I should have been drinking you, you are so much sweeter-"

Groaning, you buried your face in a pillow, considering to suffocate yourself before he could see the blush on your cheeks. Then again, how receptive could he be, in his state? Turns out, very receptive. When you discarded the pillow, his eyes hushed over the pink on your cheeks and he cooed. "Aw, baby, do you like it when I tell you how sweet you are?"

Ignoring your stubborn but whispered 'no thank you', Dionysus threw an arm around your shoulder, continuing to brabble compliments and praises into your ear. Embarrassingly, your cheeks burned even more and the god laughed joyfully.

"Baby, the way you blush... I’ve seen people lose their minds over less."
