it was love day

I’m back with another thought, gang!

I really think Folio would be the type to want to get married to you as soon as he could after he proposes, that he suggests just going to the court house. “They open at 8:00am, we can go first thing tomorrow.” He would be SO adamant about it, flashing you his puppy dog eyes because he “can’t go much longer only being your fiancé.” Even though he “literally proposed like 45 minutes ago.” He’s a just a sweet, soft pretty boy who is beyond in love and excited to do this with you. “We don’t have to rush it,” you remind him. “We have forever to do it.”

You do ultimately end up going to the court house about a month later after deciding to throw a reception in your backyard to celebrate with your friends and family after you got back. 🤭

Mina and Johnathan having their wedding right then and there in the hospital makes me so emotional for so many reasons. like on one hand it's beautiful and touching and not surprising in the least that they wouldn't care about the formalities of having a proper wedding and would be perfectly happy to just be married already here because all they need is to be together and that's all they've been wanting for so long now (as they should <3). but on the other hand, Mina was so excited to plan their wedding, even if it couldn't be anything elaborate, and they really deserved that, and she's been so worried about Johnathan all this time that after seeing him in this state, it feels like she didn't want to wait a single second more because she's so aware of how easily she could have lost him, even if she doesn't know what happened :'( </3 they deserve the world and they deserve a second proper wedding after all this is over, dammit

I need you all to understand anytime it's said that the (non canon) ye olde new vegas wedding that Kremy and Gideon had was a "shotgun wedding" I am laughing my ass off. I don't think that means what you think it means

Actually you know what I firmly believe Gricko has called it that before and nobody has corrected him

Happy Thursday! Have a list of some of my favourite underrated Apollo factoids!

Father of the Lapiths (and by extension the Centaurs)! While Chiron wasn't Apollo's by birth, an alternate telling of the genesis of centaurs did place Apollo as their father when his lover Stilbe bore him twin sons - Lapithes and Centaurus. Much like the more popular version of the centaurs' genesis which has them as an analogue for wild and untempered desire, this version also features the centaurs causing chaos - both by choosing to mate with the wild mares of the mountainside which resulted in their half man-half horse appearance and by causing a terrible uproar during a wedding ceremony (which, of course, is an alternate telling of the centauromachy wherein Apollo himself comes to quell the wedding quarrel as opposed to Heracles) There's a whole great deal of psychomachia embedded in the opposing of the centaurs with humanity and I've always loved this version due to the way it highlights that centaurs do have the same capability for good that humans do as they have the parentage, but it's their choices that make them beastly - not the circumstances of their birth.

Eurytus, the original owner of the Apollonian bow Odysseus uses and the one Penelope sets apart for the suitors to string in her challenge, was Apollo's grandson. He was such a skilled archer that Apollo gave him one of his own bows and he was even believed to have taught Heracles archery. Unfortunately, he became rather prideful about the whole thing and declared himself an even better archer than Apollo and proceeded to challenge his grandfather to an archery contest wherein Apollo gave him the honour of shooting first and then promptly shot him dead with his own arrow for his insult. Apollo passed the bow on to his much sweeter great-grandson Iphitus who later gave the bow to his good friend Odysseus.

Despite boars usually being regarded as creatures of wild, raging temperament, there's a particular curiousity about the Erymanthian Boar not being called to be slain by Heracles but instead retrieved alive. According to a couple different versions, the Erymantian Boar was either the boar Artemis summoned to kill Adonis for Aphrodite having killed Hippolytus (and thusly, was named after Erymanthos, the marshy region sacred to the goddess where it wandered) or Apollo himself transformed into a boar to kill Adonis because Aphrodite blinded his son Erymanthus (which, accordingly, would be the reason for the boar's name) who saw the goddess bathing after she'd had sex with Adonis and tattled on her (this, naturally, would've occurred between Persephone and Aphrodite's 'cold war' for Adonis). Either way, the Erymanthian Boar was a sacred animal to the twins and provides a very interesting bit of depth to what is one of the more overlooked labours of Heracles. (There's even a bit about a particular temple of Apollo's claiming that they had the boar's tusks enshrined there)

According to Nonnus' Dionysica, after the whole Hyacinthus affair, Apollo had a bit of a phobia of the wind. In particular, there's a passage that describes "...when Zephyros breathed through the flowery garden, Apollon turned a quick eye upon his young darling, his yearning never satisfied; if he saw the plant beaten by the breezes, he remembered the quoit, and trembled for fear the wind..."

In the early days of the Bohemian Grove (that is, an exclusive American gentleman's club) one of the earliest productions put on at their annual meeting is an original work by early American author Will Irwin. His work, which was played at the 1904 meeting, was called the Hamadryads and features a Greek myth OC called Meladon who kidnapped the titular hamadryads (who were actual spirits in greek myth) and trapped them in trees. The play ends when Apollo descends and slays Meladon with an arrow, freeing the hamadryads. This isn't strictly related to classical greek myth but it is also, by far, one of the wildest things I've ever learned while researching modern theatric adaptations of greek dramas and tragedies because the Bohemian Grove is also the center of many conspiracy theories which involve concepts like the New World Order and other such secret society beliefs. Naturally, I had to share this information.

This has been gnawing at my brain since I first heard it

because

And the way Arthur says it is so honest, so serious, so earnest. He's exhausted but he makes sure to look at Merlin's right in the eye. Like this comes from the bottom of his soul and he absolutely, desperately needs Merlin to understand (and considering he most likely knew he was going to die at this point, well). Look at Merlin's face. There's such solemnity and vulnerability in this scene. It hurts to watch.

The gist of an important conversation between Anya, her brother Percy and Dorian after the Exalted Council in my canon Worldstate:

Percy: So how was it?

Dorian: It was lovely Amatus, if you ignore the politics, the invasion, the murder and the betrayal, it was almost like a second honeymoon. Except you weren’t actually there.

Anya: Wait, second honeymoon?

Percy: Oh yeah, Dorian and I got married a month or so ago.

Anya:

Percy: Anya?

Anya: Oh come on! that’s not fair! How come you got a honeymoon when you got married and all I got was a near death experience and a lobed off arm?!

Dorian: I mean you still bagged the dashing Commander, in the middle of the exalted council and nobody noticed. That is no easy feat.

Anya: That’s the silver lining, I suppose. Well that and Cullen being my husband of course.

Percy: HOLD ON A SECOND! YOU GOT MARRIED WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE?!

Anya: I would have told you but it was a split second decision and Cullen and I wanted to be sure of something in the future, I’m so sorr-

Percy: MOTHER AND FATHER MISSED BOTH OF OUR WEDDINGS!

Anya: …oh no.

Percy: Where do you want your ashes scattered?
