#apollo being relatable

[sodamnbored]

Meg: Are you coming or not?

Apollo: Nope.

Meg: But the prophecy! Why not?

Apollo, stubbornly: Because I am too old to wet myself, and too young to die.

So sorry for the likes/reblogs spams earlier !! I was craving Hermapollo content really badly and your #best bros saved me

By the way, do you know if Apollo has epithets around poetry or linguistics specifically?? Or where I can read more about those, Thank you ♡♡

Haha noo it's fine! I'm just happy you enjoy them as much as I do!! :3

Strangely, I don't think I've come across any epithets for Apollo that are specifically poetry related, in spite of his close association with poets and poetry. I haven't been able to find any such epithets for even the Muses. I think that might be because poetry, along with other forms of arts like dance, music, song, theatre etc were included in the term mousikí/mousikè (I'm not sure what it translates to, but it basically includes all the arts that the Muses preside over). So the closest titles I can find for this are Musagetes and Musarchos, both of them meaning "the leader of Muses".

As for linguistics, that isn't something Apollo is typically associated with, even if in one tradition he did contribute to the invention of the alphabets. I guess Apollo's epithet "Loxias" kinda counts? It translates to "he of the crooked words" because his prophecies are ambiguous and confusing. Not linguistics but maybe like word play? That's the closest I can think of though.

#Asks #Aungcha #Apollo's artistic epithets usually are about #him being the companion of Muses #and are related to his musical instrument #but none of any specific form of arts #Apollo info

i love how both ryunosuke and apollo are just some guys that have accidentally found themselves in the middle of some bullshit that started when they were still kids. phoenix, meanwhile, is starting bullshit himself because of something that happened when he was still a kid

#at least apollo is involved with the gramaryes and kristoph. ryunosuke has NO relation to anyone who is related to the plot whatsoever #its this grand conspiracy that started over 16 years ago and virtually every main character is connected to it somehow. except ryu #ryu is just there. and he solved the whole thing 😭 #aa #i mean with aa4 this is a by product of the game still being About Phoenix despite apollo being a protagonist #if apollo ever gets a coherent trilogy i imagine he'll take a more active role in his story. what with thalassa and kristoph's black locks #and whatnot

Calliope: Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and—

Apollo: Calliope! I wrote you a poem!

Calliope, already crying: You did?

#meet my favourite of the nine muses. everyone #due to being related to epic poetry. she probably doesn't like all these whole romance stuff #unless is Apollo #and you know what? i get her #incorrect quotes #nine muses #apollo #calliope

Hc that when the mechanisms were in The City, Drumbot Brian became Apollo's lover and then faked his death when they were leaving. That's where he got his gift of prophecy

#the mechanisms #drumbot brian #which lover was brian? your choice. i don't know much about apollo's lovers #this thought was sponsored by my online name being apollo #also me making a mechsona #i wanted to make them related to apollo in some way #so i went #hey lets make him one of Apollo's lovers #oh wait #don't they get prophecy #brian also has prophecy #what if Brian was Apollo's lover instead

okok so this is different than my usual sun and moon show posts but- I picked up Trials of Apollo (from the Percy Jackson series) from the library a few months ago. I enjoyed books 1, 2, 3, and 4...but I forgot to get the 5th book, so I had to wait to finish the series. I finished the series on friday, and I haven't been posting much in these past two days because I've been really fixated on ToA. (yes, I am an apollogist. Yes, I think that Apollo is a complex character that deserves more attention than he gets from the Percy Jackson series. I will die on this hill.) So...I've been thinking, I REALLY want to share my thoughts and theories with the rest of the ToA community on tumblr. But I don't want to do it here, cause ya'll followed for Sun and Moon show, not Percy Jackson. So...should I post all my Percy Jackson stuff (which will mainly be ToA, ToA is very underrated) here, or should I create a different account? Please leave your honest opinions! Also, if you're a Percy Jackson fan, and you want to leave hate on ToA, then go ahead and do it lol. I find it amusing. ToA seems to be mainly disliked/ignored by the rest of the Percy Jackson fandom (prolly because Apollo is a god and all the other books are focused on demigods, so people assume it won't be as interesting), and I find it funny when a "REAL PERCY JACKSON FAN!!1!!1!" hates on it 🤣🤣

#apollogists #not sun and moon show related #ToA deserves more attention #fight me #I will die on this hill #if u want to hate on ToA please do #I love it lol its so funny to read #no but seriously like Apollo is just as capable of being deep as all the other characters??? #like yall give him some love too #Nico and Will literally have more attention than him #and they only have one book of their series published so far #like what the fuck #Just to let all you percy jackson fans (who didn't read ToA) know... #Apollo is one of the most complex (in a very likeable way) characters in the series. I love him. Give him more attention #ha ya'll thought he was all tough??? naah hes a teddy bear #he cries more than all the other characters but together #why am I going crazy on the tags #is this what being an a03 writer is like #Also Artemis is also very cool #OH AND ALSO #if you don't read ToA #you might not discover Meg #which i find very #like very very very very very very very very #VERY sad #Percy Jackson #ToA #why did I only think now to add those tags #what the fuck

[1quastion-isitgrank]

ok. final thoughts before i roadtrip three hours to see my chem. we’re not leaving til tomorrow morning but i just finished painting my nails and i’m stuck waiting for them to dry so now feels like as good a time as any. the one thing i’m certain of, no matter what happens during this show, is that it’s going to rip my spine out of my body and stomp all over my bleeding corpse. i’ve been an mcr fan for about a decade and i’ve been holding these tickets for two years-- there is absolutely no part of me that’s prepared for this. 

that being said. philly show predictions. 

it’s been a couple shows since cheerleader gerard. even though i honestly wouldn’t rule out another shorts outfit for tomorrow, i think we’re a bit overdue for some new, more over the top look, like the full clown facepaint or the cheerleader dress. absolutely no idea what it could be but i have a feeling it’ll be Something. fingers crossed for dramatic bloodstained wedding dress gerard pls

as far as the setlist goes... i think there’s a chance we’ll get another new song reveal. according to frank they rehearsed ten new songs for this leg of the tour, and so far they’ve revealed five of them (possibly six? if noise jam counts?). so there’s four or five new songs that they’ve rehearsed that we don’t know about, and so far there’s been at least one new song reveal at every single show except for cincinnati and elmont. (also even at those two shows they debuted songs they hadn’t yet played on the american leg of tour-- headfirst for halos in cincinnati and cancer in elmont). 

so i think one, possibly two new songs revealed at this show, and i honestly have no idea which ones they could be since they’ve proven at this point that they’ll pull deep cuts from anywhere at any point-- so i’m just gonna say desert song and kill all your friends bc that’s what i’m hoping for. or literally anything from bullets. also heaven help us, fashion statement, and/or prison american leg debut pls. or honestly just play whatever it doesn’t matter whatever i hear them do is gonna destroy me no matter what 

#c'mon apollo gift of prophecy let me be right about at least one thing in this post #bc honestly. whether it's a new dramatic costume or new songs revealed or american leg debuts any of it will make me lose my mind #so if anything even remotely related to what i'm saying here ends up being right. i will pass away #mcr

[steal-this-album]

every time i think i can just Ignore how much i dislike one of my mom's friends it just gets worse

#LIKE .. i can't hate her. she's my mom's weed guy #but bc my parents are in another state they asked her to drive me to class the other day and we started talking about spirituality #which is already a weird topic for me bc i'm schizophrenic and it just didn't mix well in the past #but she told me Well Actually you're not schizophrenic you could just be highly empathetic to your environment #DOT DOT DOT. and then proceeded to ask me if i was interested in joining her cult #because she was curious about my name being apollo and i said personality wise dionysus probably fits better but apollo sounded cool anyway #and her cult was related to dionysus the actual god #but . yeah sometimes i get so tired #polly chirps #ask to tag #ableism #i guess . #AS ALWAYS i have nothing against spirituality but participating in that stuff is just not my thing .

[violexides]

if apollo crosscode and apollo aceattorney were to meet. would it be fucked up or what

it'd be pretty fucked up. apollo has funny hair too that ppl make fun of him in canon for so it might be a solidarity moment ngl

#in some translations his name is pollo as in translating to the word 'chicken' bc of his two hair strands sticking up #the english and japanese name doesn't relate though so most people in fandom interpret it as bunny ears #so in pairing works for him and another character (whom is german) its common to see apollo nicknamed #hase. or rabbit in german #he also gets made fun of for having a big frorehead despite his forehead not being very big so that's cool #he's literally my son fr #we're taking them to their first day of primary school rn

[moodyseal]

This was supposed to be for yesterday's prompt of TOApril but since it's far more related to TSATS than to TOA here it is as random art 😔👊

Take this as a "TSATS but Apollo doesn't revert back to being an absent father" AU

#pjo #apollo #will solace #nico di angelo #solangelo #tsats #lonely thoughts #my art #at first there was supposed to be just the second image #but then i went 'wait but it needs context' #and things got a bit out of hand #btw pretend there's a shield in the second part i'd given up at that point

The Reddit Blackout, #196, And Being New to Tumblr

okay i've seen a lot of people in the past ~24 hours or so confused by everything going on with Reddit & Tumblr from both sides - people new to tumblr who don't know how to use it, and tumblr users who don't know what's going on with reddit and why many of its users have joined up here i know this isn't really related to my blog but fun fact about me: i was up until recently a very active reddit user and even mod a subreddit, but I've also been on tumblr for about 3 years now on different accounts, so I think I can see pretty well from both sides of this and explain what's going on this post will be split in 2 sections: what happened with reddit (and what #196 means), and a guide for new users

1. What The Hell Is Going On With Reddit?

The thing that's caused all this ruckus is a major change to Reddit's API, which is what Reddit provides to people so they can pull directly from Reddit to make third-party apps or tools.

The change is that Reddit is changing its previously free API to be paid. Which on its own kinda sucks for developers, but it's not unexpected. They need to make money somehow, right?

The problem is that the API pricing is WAY TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE. The developer of the most popular 3rd party Reddit app, Apollo, says it will cost him $20 million a year to continue running the app as normal.

Essentially, this pricing forces almost everything third-party to shut down, which causes 3 major problems:

Third-party apps cannot keep running, which sucks for normal users because Reddit's official app is awful. It's slow, its video player is a thing of nightmares, it doesn't have many useful features third-party developers have made.

It sucks even more for visually impaired users because they can't use the official Reddit app at all. Reddit's official app does not work with iOS's native text-to-speech function. Third party apps, on the other hand, often do. So Reddit is forcing blind users away.

Third-party moderator tools cannot keep running, which sucks for moderators because many rely on these tools to properly moderate their subreddits. And moderators are often necessary, because without them subreddits get banned and hate speech and even CSA can often run rampant.

So you see why this change is bad.

Reddit users were PISSED.

So over the past week and a half or so, they have been working on organizing a site-wide blackout. The majority of the most active subreddits have now gone private. Some are only doing it for 48 hours, others (such as r/196) are doing it indefinitely.

That's why you can't access most of Reddit right now, and that's why many users have come here.

You're probably still wondering, though - what is this #196?

Well, as you may guess, it's connected to that subreddit r/196 I just mentioned. r/196 is a subreddit which only has one rule: every time you visit, you must post before you leave.

That's it, that's the subreddit.

The thing about r/196 that set it apart from most other subreddits - and what lends the subreddit's users perfectly to Tumblr - is that it was dominated by queer and leftist users.

So now they've come here and set up shop in #196 and r/196 so they can continue their merry little shitposting.

There's a ton of lore related to r/196, actually, but this is already a long tumblr post and quite frankly I cannot be bothered to write about it at the moment.

2. I'm Here From Reddit, What Now?

Hello there, random new user. As a double-citizen of Reddit and Tumblr, let me show you around this place.

First off, there are some other people who are better at explaining that I am who have made some really helpful things. Watch this Strange Aeons video as a guide to Tumblr culture and functionality and read this post which directly compares Reddit and Tumblr.

Assuming you've done that, here's some additional advice of my own:

Do you miss sorting subreddits by top of all time/the year/the month? Well, you can do something very similar with tags! If you go to a tag at the top of the screen you can select top, and then at the dropdown that says "all time" you can select different time periods! Even 6 months, which Reddit hasn't ever had.

Tumblr has a lot of cool customization features! Even outside your icon/banner/bio, you can change you blog colors and on desktop you can have an html theme (which has its own thriving community here). That customization is part of what sets Tumblr apart from everywhere else - I think you'll enjoy playing with it.

Notes will probably confuse you at first. Unlike the different numbers for upvotes and comments, notes combines the total number of likes, reblogs, and replies into the same number.

Outside of organizing your own blog, when making your own posts tags are what help other people find your post. Use them! But don't abuse them, because then people will just block you.

There are three ways of people finding your post: if someone follows you, if someone follows the tag(s) assigned to your post, and if someone is just scrolling through the tag(s) assigned to your post (and also the secret 4th way no one uses, which is finding it on the trending page, but even if people did use it no one will find your post initially that way)

tumblr is no longer The Discourse Website. And unlike what Reddit wants you to believe for some reason, it is very much alive still. Most of the people seeking fights have moved to Twitter (though some have also moved back here again). You will not get any brownie points for being a dipshit like you do on some subreddits.

So there, welcome to the hellsite (affectionate), you'll pick up on all the in-jokes eventually, for now just try not to be a nuisance and soon enough this'll be your new internet home.
