Oh blessed, shining Apollo, Radiant light of Olympus, your warmth and love never ceases to amaze

Eternally young archer, who's divine bow never fails to hit your mark.

Ray of sunlight and honey and warmth, blessed music that falls upon the ears. You, Apollon, are the joy found within my heart and the song that my mind sings when I am seen as my truest self.

Glorious healer and radiating muse, blessed is the path I walk for your light guides my way.

Thank you, Lord Apollo, for never letting me become lost in the darkness..for helping me find the truth that lies within my soul..for letting me see what others see when sunlight falls on brown eyes and streaks through chestnut locks.

Divinely radiant and glorious are you, oh dear Light of Olympus and blessed am I to walk in your light.

I have a feeling Apollo and Lucifer have a lot of fun with music. He would bring in the melodies and Lucifer would charm the poetry.

Probably the most musical family in the mythos: Kalliope, Orpheus and Apollo hanging out.

digital offering to Apollo :)

Really feeling like Icarus rn.

Honestly, I’d probably fly into the sun just to see Apollo too….

Even if for only a moment before the world crashes and burns before me…..

At least then, I’d fall with the memories of his face….

At least then, I’d die with the sun shining on me one final time…..

Apollo ☀️

Hjalmar Gullberg, Förklädd Gud/Disguised God (IV/IX)

Here’s part four of Förklädd Gud/Disguised God! (Translation by John Hearne below the Swedish text - I have to say, today I think the translation doesn’t quite measure up!)

Today’s video has some nature images, if you want to mix up the music with brooks and meadows. :-)

IV.

Välsignelse följer i gudarnas spår. Om kappan än döljer hans gyllne hår, så blomstrar den mark där han går.

Han spelar för djuren, som följa hans takt, för solen, för skuren i nyplöjd trakt, där döden förlorar sin makt.

IV.

Well-being will follow the path of a god. A cloak may be covering his golden hair, but flowers will mark where he trod.

He plays for the creatures that follow his voice, for sun and for shower in new-ploughed earth, where death is no longer a force.

Music (by Lars-Erik Larsson, sung by Petri Sångare chamber choir)

Luke Castellan x Apollo kid!Reader

word count: 851

summary: Luke castellan and the daughter of apollos love story

a/n: “remember who the enemy is” IM TRYING

Luke Castellan held your heart since the day you met, and you held his.

You arrived at camp a few months after Luke. You were one of the lucky ones, claimed within an hour of being there. Your godly father is Apollo, god of poetry, the sun, music, narcissism, idiocy, stupidity, all that. You had assumed the gods would act superior to all, no matter if they were or weren’t. But Apollo was on a completely different level. You didn’t know why he had taken such a liking to you.

“You remind him of himself,” Your half sister, Kayla, had told you, “an archer who never misses, healer who fixes every wound, gifted singer, and somehow picked up the lyre in a day. And yet, you still ask why Apollo loves you the most?”

“I wish he wouldn’t,” you twirl the golden arrow he gifted you.

“y’know, that hermes boy has been staring since the moment you stepped foot here,” she smiles, nodding to the tan boy sitting on a picnic table.

“Great, more attention,” you keep your sights on the boy, lucas? Luca, maybe?

“His name’s luke castellan,” kayla says, ah luke, that’s it.

“He’s handsome,” you say matter of factly.

“Don’t trust those Hermes boys, all they do is lie,” Kayla leans back and rolls her eyes.

“It’s a good thing I play the lyre.”

——————

“You’ve got a great shot,” a deep voice says from behind you.

You’ve been at the range for around an hour, it’s 4:30, you always practice when no one else is around.

“The whole reason why I come out here this early is so i can be alone,” sure, it sounds mean but you swear you’re not trying to be.

“Sorry, once I see you it’s hard to look away,” you’re not looking at him but you can tell me has the biggest smirk on his face.

“Funny,” you tell him bluntly.

You set down your bow, keeping the arrow in your hand, and sit on the nearby grass. He lays down beside you, you follow his lead and put your hands behind your head.

“That arrow, it’s like it’s made of the sun,” He says amazed.

“A gift from dear old dad. No matter how far I shoot it’ll always come back. Supposed to be a sign of his love or something. But I think he just constantly wants me to be annoyed by him,” you inform him possibly too much.

“Most people would be grateful if their godly parent cares that much,” he says.

“It’s different with Apollo, there is no such thing as true altruism with him,” you bite your inner lip.

“I get that, I’m just tryna say- Hermes never showed up for me, and I'd kill to just have him tell me he cares,” His eyes furrow.

“Guess we both have different priorities,” you smile.

“Opposites work best don’t they?” He smiles back.

“Isn’t it opposites attract?” You wonder.

“Hey, your words, not mine,” he laughs.

“That one’s Orion,” You point up at the constellation.

“He was always my favorite,” he adds.

“Mine has always been Cassiopeia, but you can never see her over here,” You look back up at the sky.

“That one’s Taurus, and then Sirius below, and Gemini above,” you point each of them out.

Even though he hums in acknowledgment his eyes are locked on you.

“You’re staring, again” You mention.

“I told you I can’t help it, especially when you glow like that,” he reaches out and touches your face.

You reach out and grab his hand, running your fingers against his slender digits.

“I’d like to be a constellation when I die, maybe my father will fulfill that wish,” you say to him.

“That’ll be my last wish too, we can lay in the stars together.”

——————

It’s been a day since Percy Jackson came to Camp Half-blood. It just so happens to be your favorite day of the year, capture the flag. You have led the archers on the blue team for years, you’d say you’re doing well for what you’re given. Besides your siblings in Apollo the rest of the kids weren’t as gifted in archery.

As the first conch shell blew you were preparing for your mock-battle. Annabeth in charge of the plan and Percy, Luke with company, and you with the archers. You knew you could, no- would win. The archers took the trees, helping stray company from the skies.

“Today feels like a winning kind of day?” Annabeth asks luke.

“I’ll see you on the other side,” He smiles.

“Luke!” You pull him aside for a moment.

You cup his face the best you can through his armor. “You don’t get hurt okay? I don’t feel like healing anymore wounds from you. Understand?”

“Oh but I love to see you healing” he holds your hand and smirks

“Archers! Move out!” You call your team, eyes still locked with his, smiling.

“so… you and her?” Percy asks the taller boy.

“how could I not? She's perfect. I mean, I genuinely believe I could live without the sun if I just had her.”

And maybe, just maybe, he could.
