While Jason Todd and Tim Drake are both tragedies, Jason is a Shakespearian tragedy (doomed by the narrative) while Tim is a Greek tragedy (doomed by himself/his own flaws). In this essay I will-

apollo is the god of straight lines in that a prophecy uttered and its coming are an absolute tautology. in the sense that he will lay before you a bunch of wreckage and demand you build a straight line. in the sense that, if you don't build a straight line, he'll do it himself and it will skewer you through.

Briseis: I really like this whole ‘good guy, bad guy’ thing you guys have going on.

Achilles: It’s not an act, it’s just that I’m mean and Patroclus isn’t.

All tragedies deal with fated meetings; how else could there be a play? Fate deals its stroke; sorrow is purged, or turned to rejoicing; there is death, or triumph; there has been a meeting, and a change. No one will ever make a tragedy—and that is as well, for one could not bear it—whose grief is that the principals never met.

I just wish they were happy. I was rooting for them.

I did a poll, beefleaf and bingqiu tied for first place so I'm gonna draw both. :)

One of my favourite pjo headcanons that i made up is that once Nico and Will started to get comfortable in their relationship and started to talk about when they found out they were gay, Nico mentions that actually Percy was NOT his awakening and his real one was Apollo.

Will is shook, he is distraught, flabbergasted if you will. His boyfriend used to have a crush on his dad. Nico just laughs at how disgusted Will is.

When Apollo comes to camp and starts talking to them Nico takes the opportunity to WINK and FLIRT with Wills dad right in front of him. Apollo is confused for like a millisecond before he plays along. Will looks like he will get sick.

This ends up being Apollo and Nicos biggest inside joke and actually makes them become closer friends. This is also the bane of Wills existence and the reason he won’t let them be alone for more then 5 minutes.
