#children of Apollo

Dadpollo this, dadpollo that, but what about grandpa Apollo

[dream--interrupted]

Started as a random crossover between Proseka and Greek mythology/PJO. Then it went out of control. And then halfway I got lazy.

My personal favourite is Shiho's design. And Nene's, but does it really count as my design if half of it is literally from the game?

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧

Really nice smiles

Either brown or blue eyes, but nice and warm

Can inherit one or a few of their father's abilites

Generally love biology, drama, music, literature

Connects with more emotional protagonists in literature

Probably loved Lucy Gray Baird

Yeah they actually have a lot of emotions

Really good at accuracy. I mean if they can't fire straight arrows, they can score perfect goals, draw straight lines, draw perfect circles.

Hate winter with a passion

Their skin has a warm hue/glow

Very resilient, don't like showing their emotions of showing that they're hurt at all.

An interesting mix of self-love shown in front of others, and self-hate to themselves

Really love making people react from a performance

Nice, warm personalities

Acts of service is definitely their love language

Usually optimists or realists (and not pessimists described as 'realists')

Actually really love helping others and giving them the spotlight

Not as rage-prone as Ares, it's more just a consistent, drawn out anger

Don't get very sunburnt

CEO's of 'I tan, don't burn'

Have many beauty spots/moles/freckles over their body

Actually can be very introverted and write lots of depressing poetry and break up anthems

Has an appreciation of, or loves Taylor Swift (literally a child of Apollo, fight me)

Germaphobes

Melodramatic but logical in the most cool but confusing way

Bedside manner is very entertaining

apollo cabin family dynamics… save me apollo cabin family dynamics…

but seriously… the grief that comes with being a child of apollo… more siblings than you can count is all the more to lose, counsellors barely making it past 16-17

the inherent tragedy of being a cabin of healers and fighters and poets, never knowing if the next body you have to bandage will be your sibling… born to hold a pen, forced to carry a bow

a cabin as bright as the sun, smiling faces that give hope to wounded children soldiers, singing songs around a fire even when you don’t know if you’ll make it to tomorrow

seeing the numbers dwindle, what used to be a full house becoming half empty and then barely used

but at least you have each other… whoever survives

[gotstabbedbyapen]

If you hate Apollo because he *check notes* has lots of lovers and children instead of settling down with a family, please go find yourself a better reason.

You don't need to be monogamous to be happy. Just because he has many male and female lovers doesn't mean he's a serial heartbreaker. He doted on all his beloveds and ensured they had a better life (Hyacinthus, the Muses, Branchus, Cyrene, Admetus, Rhoeo, etc.)

And Apollo was never a deadbeat father, too! He raised his kids with or without their mothers and was present and supportive throughout their lives (Asclepius, Aristaeus, Anius, Phemonoe, etc.)

I've said it before, and I will say it again:

APOLLO IS THE CHILD SUPPORT!!!

[wscxbells]

the cabin 7 (apollo) kids are the biggest abba fans and i will stand by that

[chengxiansbaby]

Listen, im not saying the Apollo cabin is the gayest cabin............. But the Apollo cabin is 100% the gayest cabin.

Troilus design! (ft best dad Apollo) He's around 12 years old here.

Researching Troilus' story is not an easy task because unfortunately most of the ancient texts focused on him didn't survive and others only survived in fragments.

This story is brutal even for greek mythology standards so please keep that in mind if you want to continue reading this or do more research on your own.

Something that all of the versions seems to agree on is that he was a Trojan prince, son of queen Hecuba and was killed by Achilles. His father was either Apollo or Priam (Apollo fits more with the context of the story though).

Most of the versions also focus on Troilus' young age and he's often shown to be visibly shorter than Achilles on the vase paintings depicting his death.

The most popular version of the myth (which is also supported by ancient vase paintings) states that Troilus and his sister Polyxena (she's not preset in every version though) went outside of Troy on their horses and while they were at a fountain Achilles ambushed them.

Achilles then chased Troilus who tried to hide inside of Apollo's temple (possibly seeking his father's protection) but Achilles caught up to him and murdered Troilus either inside or in front of the temple and then brutally mutilated his body.

There 2 alternative reasons given for the murder:

1. There was a prophecy which said that if Troilus reached 21 years of age Troy would never fall.

2. Achilles fell in love with Troilus, tried to force himself on him and was enraged when the boy refused his advances. (This version seems to have more surviving evidence)

It could also be that the only reason that Achilles killed Troilus was the fact that he was a Trojan prince and therefore an enemy but this does not seem to fit with the brutality of the act.

Here are some vase paintings that show Troilus' death at the hands of Achilles

Ω PJO DEMIGOD HEADCANONS: ☀ APOLLO: God of Archery, Art, Music, & Poetry, Prophecy, Light & Sun, Healing & Plagues, Truth 🎶

author's note: I had a sudden idea about writing some headcanons Camp Halfblood demigods being claimed and what it's like for each respective god and cabin, followed by a small blurb afterwards. Thank you for reading and please like and reblog! The order is not in order of the cabin numbers. [PJO DEMIGOD HEADCANONS MASTERLIST]

When you get claimed, you're graced with a light haloing over you. It's so bright yet soft. You also feel warm but you somehow feel like its a warm hug and its Apollo secretly giving you a hug.

The Apollo cabin welcomes you happily and they all gather around, singing you a welcome song. Some of them break out into an Acapella, while some whip out their instruments out of thin air. You find yourself at least humming to the song and maybe even singing along, the words just coming to you naturally. 

 You’re shown the sleeping quarters that are nice and warm, and when you press your nose against them, you can smell the sun on them. 

You’re also shown the ropes of the place, but most importantly where they treat the sick and injured. As children of Apollo, your natural gifts are used almost daily. If you’re not that hyped about seeing blood or the like, you’re moved away from the rotation and help out with other things: changing sheets, disinfecting, checking stock and getting stock, and so forth. 

You’re still required to learn how to do First Aid though. Even if your godly parent is the god of Healing, you’re still going to have to learn how to do the mundane medical methods. Better learn how to do proper CPR just in case. Sure, you could heal any damages but it's better not let it happen anyway. 

You just have candy in your pockets. You might think its odd but when you see a small camper hurt their knee and one of your siblings whip out a lollipop after patching it up, you realise you’re not just there to soothe physical wounds. 

Plus, you have candy. What’s not to love?

Though, speaking of Candy, you didn’t know you had to help out in sorting candy and inspecting it. Especially any red candy or specific dyes used in them. You learn immediately that once ago, there was a period of time that the campers acted very intensely, and after an intense lava wall incident and an almost burnt down pegasus stall, it was discovered that some people had consumed certain candies containing Red dye 40 and was affecting the ADHD.

The Apollo cabin is the place to be for entertainment. There’s constantly music and art being produced. There are even beat poetry nights. 

So many rap battles. 

The Apollo cabin often has collaborative efforts with the Hephatesus Athena,Dionysus cabin. There’s always some big project happening and it’s always a treat.

Hamilition. Cats. Hadestown. Heathers. Highschool Musical- all the broadway shows and musicals you can think of, the Apollo cabin have it down pat. Along with the Dionysus cabin, you just perform and break out in song. Eventually Mr. D and Chiron let you guys perform actual broadway musicals or general theatre because there were too many impromptu moments that broke through the entire camp. No one has recovered from the D's (Mr. D, the Dionysus, and Demeter cabin) and the Giant Strawberry incident.

When you get claimed, light envelops you with a soft mysterious song playing. It was warm and you swore you could imagine arms hugging you lovingly. You’d imagine Apollo used the claim to at least give his children a hug. You hugged back and you felt the faintest squeeze back. Before you could dwell on it later, the light disappears leaving a faint glow on your skin. 

The song you had heard had also drifted off as well, but it had spoken to your soul. Like it had been chosen for you. You saw a bunch of other campers stand around and begin going into verse, a choir of campers singing a song before you realized it was the same song from before. More and more people began to join in, singing in acapella, instruments being played, and people clapping along for the beat. You watched in excitement and you felt their music resonate with you, it went through your body, up your throat and before you knew it, you were singing along, leading it. 

When the song came to an end, the singers cheered and clapped before you saw a boy with curly blonde hair step up, giving you a beaming smile. You thought he looked like a golden retriever. 

“Hi! You definitely have the chords of a child of Apollo” he complimented, holding out his hand. You took his hand as you shook, “My name is Will Solace, and I’m the cabin leader of Cabin 7. Welcome to the Apollo cabin!”

[draggged-leer]

Austin : who the fuck added me to the groupchat?

Lee : Language!

Michael : yeah Austin, watch your fucking language

Will : Okay who taught Austin the fuck word?

Kayla : “The fuck word”

Lee : are you stupid? You guys use the f word all the time

Will : oh my gods he censored it

Kayla : say fuck, Lee

Michael : do it Lee, say fuck

[mo0nagedaydr3am]

I’m pretty sure it’s canon that the Ares cabin constantly blasts rock music at random times. I think. Unless I made that up but either way I have a proposal. The Apollo cabin blasting Hozier songs. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Children of Apollo

(Person headcanons)

- Ok so we all know cabin 7 kids can create light, however hear me out, electricity, electricity that twists between their fingers like lighting in a storm when they feel strong negative emotions, because the storm is blocking the sun.

- Apollo seems like the kind of godly parent that would absolutely cherish his kids heritage, and many times would go out of his way to (attempt) to get gods from their culture to give them some form of a gift to help them connect to their culture and art relating to it. If their heritage doesn’t have some form of mythology? He’d go with who they remind him of, because he cares. If there’s more than one? He’d reach out to each and every one. He wants them to appreciate where they come from, and to be able to bask in the light of both his and their own individual sun light.

- Musical and poetry practically run in their blood, learning the two make it like child’s play to children of Apollo.

How can I hug all my children at the same time?

THIS ISNT FAIR-

*sobs while trying to hug the entirety of cabin 7*
