idk if you've talked about it already but i'm gonna ask the question anyways: how do you see the dynamic / relationship between apollo and rachel?

I don't think I have!! It's mostly been rotating in my head like a 7/11 hotdog rolling around under a heat lamp. That is to say, I haven't given it intense development so much as it's been ✨vibes✨ in my head. That being said, I think the dynamic has evolved quite a bit through TOA due to, in essence, Apollo's growth and his humbling as Lester.

Obviously beforehand, the dynamic between Rachel and him was much more boss-employee-esque, but when he was turned into Lester, it really enriched the dynamic. I think Apollo connects with people more truthfully and more sincerely now, which allows him in turn to connect that way better with Rachel, seeing her not just as his oracle, but as a person –– in fact, a friend. The way I see it in my head is she did give him that support to be brave and to do what has to be done.

Because I view the Oracle's powers as slowing down Rachel's aging, I am very much interested in the idea that Apollo and her would be side-by-side for a lot of that. I think after his re-ascension, Rachel has secret hopes that with him being a bit mortal in his heart, that means he might visit more. With everyone so busy, I think Rachel does get lonely often, even if she doesn't acutely feel it, and I think that could be mitigated by having Apollo around. They have good chemistry together, and I think they both enjoy each other's company and banter.

I also think with the stipulation of her not being able to date, it would make sense for Apollo to give the exception to... well, himself. Because if she was dating him, she'd be dedicated to him. Admittedly, it may seem like there's a power dynamic there, and it's something that Rachel might have to put her foot down about and be like, hey –– if we break up, you can't take these powers back. But somehow, after everything he's been through as Lester, she really does doubt he'd do that. Then again, Gods are immortal so, it's always good to have insurance.

TLDR: I really want to explore it, but I do kinda see it as a friends to lovers sort of thing that grows naturally. I also think Rachel would make the first move because she's not a coward.

It should be the other way around. He knows it, she knows it. His bite is far worse than his bark, and he uses it at the worst of times -- often without warning. She should relate, if anything; after all, she's the archangel of death. How much worse, figuratively, can it get than that?

TBT the time I served the Sun god at work…

Guy had dusty blonde hair and a warm tan, wearing a Hawaiian style shirt - half done up, a gold sun pendant and gold rings, he told me he had ADHD and was going to Mykonos for a 2 week holiday!

No one has been able to convince me that’s not Apollo himself and I think about that every day

[raggedyclaraa]

tbt to that time my friend and i drove down to houston from dallas and i spent like three hours explaining percy jackson to her. from the lightning thief to blood of olympus to trials of apollo.

The Full Monty | #TBT Trailer | 20th Century Fox we would like to proceed with the project and must.  and do work. and we heard the information on the status of the subjects.  we do conclude he and i that the larger one can proceed and almost to fruition and we do have methods to use that would work sufficiently. and as much as we can.  and teams per completion times and massup  if not meeting schedules.and htey agree.  he does make one request that seperate teams go to mine and ok already.  and as stated as much as we can handle.  add to mining on the primary and good.  and full mining out of the new locale and we shall.

@soulseeresque:  Take me instead! (for apollo :3c)

     how dare you--

     the back of apollo’s head stung, radiating from beyond the rows of spines that lined the median of his back and spreading beneath the blood-matted mane around his neck. flattened against the ground, the mixture of blood and dirt assaults his senses, compounded by a thick silence that permeated the quiet sigh of settling dust and debris. the threat, creation unmitigated, lay inert and aether-scorched. at the center of the crater between it and himself--they were not remains. not yet at least. he tries to move; time is of the essence. but a burning throb stops him. his jaw hung broken, jagged teeth bared and tongue hanging between them like a serpent’s tail. overcome the pain. overcome the discomfort. get up. hythlodaeus needs you.

     rage consumed his heart for but mere moments prior to the chain reaction that caused the disaster that would nearly take his own life and that of his friend. how dare you interfere-- his final thoughts. but he knows now he cannot blame hythlodaeus for his actions. he had saved his life for want of his own self-preservation. to prove a point to himself, he would die. but his friend thought better of it, taking the brunt of the deathblow in apollo’s place.

     it’s a miraculous work of art that he is able to maintain his transformation in such a state. wings gone, bones broken, blood saturating his feathers and fur, weighing him down and exacerbating his wounds. a rumbling growl erupts from his throat as he drags his massive form towards the prone body of his friend. still alive, though barely. large reptilian snout nuzzles and sniffs--scorched. burnt. a loud, high pitched shriek escapes from him, causing the surrounding birds to fly.

     how dare you interfere, knowing you could die!

     he lowers his broken jaw atop his friend’s form, careful not to accidentally crush him ‘neath the weight of his skull, please let this work... please. his body begins to glow a tender, light blue, enveloping hythlodaeus’s body, slowly enveloping him in a warm light. the light carefully begins to peel back the burns, bulling the bones back into place, activate the marrow and replenish the blood. apollo’s own form begins to glow as well, feathers dissipating, body shrinking, claws retracting and snout shortening.

     i’m sorry, my dearest friend. i cannot let you die this day. hades would kill me if i returned home without your heart still beating!

     besides...

     our adventure is not yet over...

[trucygoose]

whats an underrated case in your opinion and why?

whats your favorite case?

whats your least favorite case?

how far into the game are you?

I think Reunion and Turnabout is really underrated. I dont see it being talked about a lot\as much as other cases despite being a really solid case and introducing Morgan and Pearl, along with the magatama mechanic

Id have to say Bridge to the Turnabout, because of how many EMOTIONS i felt while playing, but Farewell my Turnabout is a very close second

I think my least favourite cases are Turnabout Samurai and Turnabout Big Top. Its mostly for nitpicky reasons, but Im also not really attached to any of the case exclusive characters, and dislike how tedious they felt to play through. Also the really weird age stuff in TBT which I really felt could have been super easily fixed by just removing the romantic aspect of Max and Ben[?]s relationship with Regina and instead making the rivarly centered around performing with her.

Ive finished the first trilogy and im planning on getting the Apollo Justice remaster when it comes out! But otherwise I havent played any other games, which probably affects my other answers

Thanks for asking!!
