Note

if you could, slashers with an s/o who has afro type hair? please and thank you

AN: Here ya go. By the way, I decided to kind of leave out Billy and Stu in these things because I keep losing motivation to actually write for them. If you still want me to though, don't worry, just mention it in the ask :)

Warnings: mentions of NSFW, cursing , noot proofread once again god damn it

Michael Myers

Michael really doesn't care what you look like.

Like mentioned earlier, he's focused on his obsession with you, not your looks, not your personality, hell, he simply loves you because you're some kind of product of his mental health.

So yeah, he's not going to treat you any different. He just doesn't care.

Maybe, but just maybe, he'll steal you some products while he's out. Hair oil, a new comb, anything relating to hair, really.

Vincent Sinclair

Vincent is very obsessed with it.

Having super straight hair himself, he's really interested in your hair and more importantly, how you manage to take care of it.

He feels kind of bad when you explain how difficult it is.

Vincent will gladly help though! How about you just take a bath and let Vincent do the work, hm?

A lot of drawings, obviously. He likes to have you near him while he makes those, simply to study every strand of hair. After all, it's not the easiest thing to draw.

Hell gladly wash or brush it for you. Vincent is the type of partner that would use things like that as a sign of adoration. He struggles with words, he rather uses actions to show you how much he loves you.

Bo Sinclair

Bo thinks it looks freaky.

That hair is its own fucking creature, huh?

To be honest, he prefers an afro hairstyle over long hair. Long hair just clings to you when you sleep, it's everywhere and Bo doesn't like it.

He isn't the most considerate when it comes to taking care of it but he'll collect and buy products for you. Sometimes victims have oil, conditioner, or shampoo in their bags and since Bo usually goes through them, he puts those things aside for you.

Lester Sinclair

That looks so cool!!

He is in love with your hair.

Not only does it look good, he can also play with it.

Lester is very careful with it. He wages his hands whenever he wants to touch it, simply because his job is very dirty and he knows how much time it takes to wash your hair. He doesn't want it to smell like a dead animal obviously, and he also doesn't want you to spend so much time and care to wash it just because he dirtied it.

He's the one that goes sipping anyway, therefore he gets you every hair product you could wish for.

He's not the biggest fan of washing it, simply because he doesn't want to fuck it up but he'll gladly comb through it every now and then.

Baby Firefly

Baby is enamored.

She has a rush of creativity as soon as she sees you. So many ideas for hairstyles hit her all at once.

So yeah, Baby would love to take care of you and your hair.

The first time she washed and brushed it for you, she grew super frustrated which nearly caused a mental breakdown on the bathroom floor. It was kind of funny.

She has a lot of respect for you. How the fuck do and did you manage to endure this hairstyle for so long?

Baby is indeed very good at making you look adorable.

Otis Driftwood

Otis also very much doesn't care what you look like.

Though you know, your hairstyle is very interesting to him.

He always tries to take his fingers through it and ends up destroying every kind of structure you had. You think the messiness is a fair price for the feeling of his fingers dancing across your skin.

Washing it? Nah, Otis can't even take care of his own hair. In addition to that, he's way too impatient. Your hair would break him.

Brahms Heelshire

Brahms is like a child.

Very astonished and very touchy.

He's just like feeling it up and down, messing with it like he'd do with play dough.

Weirdo.

He's addicted to the smell of your hair products. Sometimes Brahms sneaks up on you, just to inhale the familiar scent.

Washing it with you? Y/N No, no, n- wait does that mean he'll shower with you? Naked?

Obviously, working for Brahms means getting paid extremely well. Don't worry about not being able to afford good hair products.

Thomas Hewitt

He has never seen afro hairstyles before.

He loves it.

There's something so adorable, so cheeky about them, he really likes that.

Another slasher who likes touching them.

He just doesn't understand how hair manages to look like that. It fascinates him.

Of course, he'll help you take care of them. It must be so difficult for you! So much time and money, spent purely on hair products.

He also collects products if one of the victims has some.

Josef

Josef cares more about your personality than he'll ever do about your body.

But he has to admit, your hair is very unique. This makes him love you even more because he fucking loves unique things.

You don't even have to ask him to comb or wash it. He lives to serve you Y/N.

Josef is quite wealthy so every now and then he'll surprise you with a few gifts, a few of them hair products.

He seems like the kind of dude to buy oil spiked with glitter that makes your hair shine and sparkle, simply because he loves it. A manchild, that man.

Amanda Young

How do you manage to deal with that giant bush of hair?

She has straight hair and she already struggles to take care of that.

So yeah, there's a lot of respect on Amanda's side. Respect and astonishment.

Therefore, she'll help you style and take care of it, whenever she has time.

She grows frustrated over it too and then proceeds to grumble every swearword she knows while continuing to comb it. Your gratitude is a good reward for hours of frustration though.

Jason Vorhees

Jason has never seen that before, oh wow. It looks so cool!

Can he touch it? Because he'd really like to.

You look so... fresh? Jason can't really describe it but he absolutely adores the way you look.

He'll compliment it shyly from time to time. He just stands there, eyes averted to the ground while he fiddles with his fingers, before he slowly signs a short compliment. It's adorable.

He's really scared of hurting you but of course, he'll help you comb and wash it. Just show him how to do it.

Asa Emory

Asa has seen afro hair before but he's never really examined it closely.

Now that he has the chance to, of course, he'll do it.

Whenever you sit close to him, he's just staring at one of the strands, wondering how they can curve the way they do.

He thinks they're very unique and make you look very special so that's a plus.

You'll have the best kind of hair care ever. Asa will settle for nothing lesser than the best. Hair oil, conditioner, and shampoo, he'll have it all.

Normally he doesn't show you his victims but when he captures one with the same hairstyle he'll take you with him, just so you can show him how to deal with that certain type of hair.

So the new VoW is pretty on the nose about some hypogeans being the personification of the seven sins. There are seven islands and seven hypogeans, and every island is tied to one hypogean in particular. The seven hypogeans being Mehira, Mezoth, Khazard, Zikis, Leofric, Framton and Lucretia.

Some are obvious: Mehira is lust, Mezoth is gluttony, Zikis is sloth and Lucretia is wrath. That leaves us with pride, envy and greed.

For greed, I think the most likely choice is Framton. His story is all about his desire for fire (and the solaris flare), how he can never have enough, and he'll do anything for just one tiny spark - be it burning down entire forests and massacreing its inhabitants.

For pride, Leofric comes to mind. He perceives himself as above all beings, mortals and hypogeans alike. Prince Lester was the only one he would describe as "intelligent", the only one close to an equal. His pursuit of knowledge is the quality he believes sets him apart from the "lesser, more primitive" beings of the world.

That leaves Khazard as envy. I find this one less apparent, but you can see his story through that lens. He used to be content with his fate, but as Gouldos started whispering to his mind and made him question the truth of his nature and the truth of life, Khazard began to desire a state of being other than his own. A state above the natural cycle, a higher being closer to a "true" god. Envy tends to be the trickier one to personify, and it's usually done by having a being abandon the self and assuming a new form, be it through temporary transformations or a permanent change of state.

Maybe there's some symbolism shoved into this VoW (defeat the seven sins to weaken the darkness within or smth), or maybe it's just a not-so-subtle nudge to connect the dots. Maybe both. The rewards were nice though.

How to Build Apollo in DnD 5e

That’s right, today we’re tackling a herculean task by trying to build the golden boy of the Olympic Gods: Apollo. Now, obviously, we can’t build Apollo as an actual factual literal god, it would break the game and it would be preposterous. However, Apollo translates really nicely into DnD. He has many skills, multiple powers so that we don’t have to pad his spell list with crap, and he’s also shown off his fighting style across multiple myths and legends. Keep in mind that while I am using Apollo himself as our template, this is also a GREAT resource for if you want to play as a Demigod child of Apollo (such as Will Solace), a worshipper of Apollo, Apollo’s chosen champion, or if Zeus has condemned your godly gloriousness into the pimply awkward adolescent body of one Lester Papadopoulos.

To start things off, we should examine Apollo’s many skills, abilities, and his MANY MANY MANY domains as a god.

Athletics - Apollo is the god of athleticism, though he shares this domain with Hermes. The original Olympic Games were held in his honor, young Greek boys held him up as the ideal of masculine physicality, and they still crowned winners with his sacred laurel wreath long after the games stopped being held for him.

Animal Handling - Before giving them to Hermes, Apollo was a pastoral god with a herd of cattle, and he also has horses that draw his solar chariot across the sky. There’s also art showing Apollo riding on the back of a swan, and he had a crow as his sacred messenger at least until he got angry and burned its feathers black.

History - Apollo’s been around a long time, and more importantly, he’s the second smartest and the second wisest of all the gods after only Athena herself. He invented mathematics, and two of his muse daughters embody history and astronomy, big staples of Ancient Greek scholarly rhetoric. A third daughter covers epic poetry which by modern standards would make her the muse of novels and plot-driven storytelling.

Intimidation - Diomedes carved a bloody canyon through the Trojan forces, but one threat from Apollo was all it took for him to scamper off with his tail between his legs.

Medicine - Apollo is the god of medicine, and as such, would be good at healing and checking for injuries.

Performance - This one’s a no-brainer, Apollo is the god of music, the father of the muses and the demigod Orpheus, and beat pan in a well-known musical battle.

Perception - Apollo is the god of prophecy, it’s hard to get the drop on a guy who may have seen your attack coming 30 years before you tried anything.

Persuasion - With the possible exception of Zeus and Aphrodite, Apollo is definitely a contender for the largest list of lovers by a single Olympian God. They had a terrible penchant for ending poorly, and he didn’t always pass his persuasion checks, but dang it if he didn’t try his hardest.

Religion - Apollo is a god. This is where I’d put any skill check for knowledge of Greek mythology, such as remembering myths, legends, heroes, demigods, the weaknesses of monsters, and mythological artifacts.

Now that we’ve covered Apollo’s skills that we should aim to provide him with, let’s examine his domains and abilities for appropriate spells, and figure out what spell lists he needs to be pulling from.

SPELL DISTRIBUTION

In order to determine the best way to play Apollo, I’m going to showcase how many spells they get from each group, and add on additional spells based on class features, subclass spell lists, et cetera. The ultimate goal is to try and find a balance between as many of Apollo’s spells as possible.

Bard: (4,0,1,7,3,6,8) 29 + Magical Secrets (6-8): 35-37 Cleric: (1,3,2,14,9,2,10 ) 41 + Light (6): 47, Death (4): 45, Grave (3): 44 Paladin: (3,0,0,3,5,0,2) 13 + Devotion (2): 15, Glory (5): 18, Vengeance (2): 15 Ranger: (11,0,1,3,1,0,4) 20 Sorcerer: (5,5,14,0,5,3) 32 + Divine Soul (32) 64 Warlock: (0,4,3,0,2,5,2) 16 + Celestial (8): 24 Wizard (7,6,15,0,7,7,10) 52 + Theurgy (26): 78

RACES, BACKGROUND, AND ALIGNMENT

Racial Options

As an Olympian, Aasimar is a good fit for Apollo. He gains a resistance to Radiant and Necrotic damage, healing hands, and the light cantrip. Since Apollo doesn’t fly around on his own, the best choice for Apollo would the Scourge Aasimar.

Another good choice would be Variant Human. Give Apollo +1 DEX, +1 Casting Stat, take Athletics, Performance, or Perception for your skill of choice, and give him the Alert feat so he can never be surprised or Fighting Initiate to give Apollo the Archery Fighting Style if you’re not planning on giving him any Fighter levels.

Viable Backgrounds

Acolyte (Insight, Religion) Athlete (Acrobatics, Athletics) Entertainer (Acrobatics, Performance) Noble (History, Persuasion) Custom Background: Olympic Athlete (Athletics, Performance)

CLASSES, SUBCLASSES, AND BUILD OPTIONS

BARD

In terms of raw flavor, Bard is probably the best choice for Apollo, as being the god of music and poetry, as well as his numerous romantic entanglements, fits the image of the classic DnD bard. The Bard’s magical secrets also ensures that any non-Bard spell you really want can still be collected. While Bard doesn’t have the highest count of compatible spells, Bard has a nice, even distribution of Apollo’s abilities, with a little bit of almost everything. Casting with Charisma is also very on-brand for Apollo’s general depiction in media. The bard’s ability to steal any spell also means that it can exploit the Paladin and Ranger spell list specifically and swipe their high-level spells much closer to the bard’s early-to-mid level.

LORE

The Lore Bard specializes in learning and recounting tales of myths and legends, collecting information and gossip, and sharing insights to those who seek it. A rather fitting choice for the master of the Oracle of Delphi and the father of the muses. The added magical secrets is also a great choice to give Apollo more versatility in his magical abilities. The Lore bard also expands its skill list, which is fitting for the overly talented god of music.

VALOR

The bard of the Battlefield, the added focus on melee combat means that this build option is a good fit for not neglecting Apollo’s mastery of archery as a major component of combat without needing to take levels of fighter.

CLERIC

A very good contender for the build, Cleric is the only class out of all of the options that got at least 1 spell in all 8 categories. As Apollo is the god of healing and medicine, Cleric provides the biggest selection of healing spells, as well as the most radiant damage. Clerics have good Hit Die, and with enough Constitution can withstand damage long enough to aid and heal themselves and others. They get access to plenty of divination spells to call upon the help of the gods and the forces of luck and fate at play in the universe to guide them. On the character level, Apollo does seem like the sort of god that would worship himself.

LIGHT

Far and away Apollo’s best choice for building him as a Cleric, Light gives Apollo access to more fire spells to fit his solar theme, and the ability warding flare is rather fitting for the god of light to use.

RANGER

If Apollo didn’t have so many other abilities, Ranger might have been a great choice for him. If you want to fixate entirely on his role as an archer and a hunter god, then by all means, Ranger is a fitting choice for Apollo in that respect. But when taking the whole of his mythos into consideration, it leaves too much on the cutting room floor, and the only real reason I’d consider giving him Ranger levels is that Hunter’s Mark helps encourage him to use his archery skills more.

SORCERER

Honestly, this one might have had a chance if not for Sorcerer’s abysmally small spells known. Thanks to a lack of subclass spells and having to stretch 15 spells across 9 spell levels, the Sorcerer walks away with the smallest spell list of ALL the primary casting classes. It doesn’t matter that Divine Soul Sorcerer gives Apollo access to a wide variety of spells because his miniscule spell book means that he can’t flex that variety whatsoever.

DIVINE SOUL

I wouldn’t advise building Apollo as a sorcerer, but if you’re set on Sorcerer, the Divine Soul is the best possible origin for Apollo, as it gives him access to radiant, fire, divination, healing, and ‘disease’ spells.

WARLOCK

Warlock is a surprisingly decent pick, especially if you’re playing a mortal that obeys Apollo, or even if you’re as Apollo himself swearing fealty to Zeus, Helios, or some other celestial entity. By making Apollo’s pact boon the Pact of the Blade, Apollo can make his pact weapon a bow and arrow, and unlike the Paladin smites, the Warlock can Eldritch Smite with their bow.

CELESTIAL

Like Ranger, the Warlock prioritizes Apollo’s skill with a bow over a lot of flashy magic, but unlike the Ranger, by following the Celestial patron, Apollo gets a rather decent assortment of radiant spells and healing spells. It can’t compare to the shere volume of the full casters, but it certainly works in Apollo’s favor.

WIZARD

Due largely to the Wizard’s massive spell list, it’s not surprising that Apollo actually has an impressive variety of spell options that work for a Wizard build. Lore wise, Apollo as a wizard makes some sense, as Apollo is considered to be clever and wise, even if he is not the single smartest god on Olympus. However, that wide range of magical power comes with two shortcomings: Wizards can’t learn healing spells, and it abandons his archery skills by the side of the road.

BLADESINGER

While the bladesinger does seem to favor melee combat, nothing says that you couldn’t multiclass a little with Fighter or Ranger to give Apollo Archery fighting style and prioritize Apollo’s bow as a bladesinger. Everything else works rather nicely, giving Apollo additional speed, AC, magical power, striking power, and attacks. If you’re hellbent on Apollo being a Wizard, but you still want to give him the melee option, the Bladesinger is the best option to do this with.

DIVINATION

Probably the wizard subclass everyone would assume for Apollo, Divination is one of Apollo’s primary gimmicks, and the portents of the Divination Wizard are ridiculously overpowered. It’s amazing, and the kind of game-breakingly good skills you’d expect when fighting the god of prophecies.

THEURGY

Although technically UA and no longer valid, if your DM will permit the Theurgy Wizard, this is the only way to play Apollo as both a Wizard, and as a god of healing and medicine. Furthermore, Apollo can straight up steal domain features from the cleric domain he chooses, and unlike the Cleric where the choice of Light is obvious, the Theurgy Apollo has a little more wiggle room, since he already gets access to most of the spells we chose Light for. As such, Apollo could choose Life to supercharge his healing, Grave to keep people from dying, or even War to be better adept at fighting with a bow. The choice is really yours and how you feel Apollo works best as a build.

BUILDING APOLLO AS: A VALOR BARD

Domain Spells:

C Light, Sacred Flame, Spare the Dying, Thaumaturgy, Word of Radiance 1 Cure Wounds, Detect Magic, Guiding Bolt, Hunter’s Mark, Inflict wounds 2 Augury, Lesser Restoration, Locate Object 3 Aura of Vitality, Clairvoyance, Revivify 4 Aura of Life, Divination, Locate Creature 5 Contagion, Dawn, Greater Restoration, Mass Cure Wounds 6 Harm, Heal, Sunbeam 7 Fire Storm, Regenerate 8 Sunburst 9 Mass Heal

I won’t go through the process of building the Warlock or the Wizard, as I only decided to build the two I felt had the strongest case, but I think Apollo came out fairly well considering the monumental task of cramming so many skills and abilities into a single playable character without cheating. Apollo is certainly a tricky god to build, but one that I feel came out pretty well.

Mind Over Matter

Fandom: Trials of Apollo Rating: Teen Genre: Family Characters: Dionysus, Apollo

How the tables had turned; for so long Apollo had been the one with the power, but now he was at the mercy of Dionysus’ whims and they both knew it.

Day six of TOApril organised by @ferodactyl, “Drunk on Power”. This prompt had me stumped for ages, because I didn’t want to go with Zeus or one of the Emperors, who were probably the obvious suggestions, but with a little bit of twisting I found an idea I liked. Rating is for the occasional implication, because Dionysus might be in charge of a kids’ summer camp, but he’s not one of the more child-friendly gods.

There’s now a discord server for all my fics, including this one! If you wanna chat with me or with other readers about stuff I write (or just be social in general), hop on over and say hi!

Apollo was broken. The fragmented remains of his once-godly mind screamed on the fringes of Dionysus' awareness, alluring and oh so tempting. He had manipulated, ruined, minds far less fragile than the one trekking its way to the entrance to Camp Half-Blood, and the knowledge of who this one belonged to sent a thrill through him.

As far as his fellow gods went, Apollo was certainly one of the more bearable. If Dionysus could choose which Olympian to have so alluringly vulnerable to him, Apollo was unlikely to be the top of his list. His father, perhaps, in light of his current punishment, or his step-mother. He actually sort-of liked Apollo - if nothing else, he was the entertaining part of meetings, the only god willing to make faces when Zeus was too self-absorbed to notice.

Finding Apollo tolerable did not particularly lessen the temptation to take those fragments of Apollo's mind and toy with them. Having any other major God under his control was an intoxicating thought, and Dionysus was not in the habit of denying himself of simple pleasures. They were increasingly hard to come by during his punishment, and while he certainly did not have any regrets about the slovenly, grotesque form he was using to remind Zeus every time his father caught sight of him, lest the king of the gods somehow forget the unfair sentence he was serving, it did make revelry rather harder when men, women, and those who identified elsewhere were less desperate to throw themselves at him.

A mortal, vulnerable, Apollo could be the most fun he had had in years. Another disgraced god, another miserable Olympian who was well aware of the perils approaching him in such a state held but was so desperate that Dionysus and the danger he represented was the lesser evil. Some gods might find that insulting, to be the lesser anything, but not Dionysus. No, Dionysus was flattered that Apollo was turning to him.

Apollo. Great, powerful Apollo, was crawling to Dionysus to help. After millennia being the annoying little brother, the tables had turned. Now, Dionysus was the one with the power.

That did not mean that Apollo's state was not horrific to behold. Dionysus' chosen appearance was worse, but it had been his decision. Lester Papadopoulos had none of Apollo's beautiful looks, none of his dazzling charisma, none of the casual power that drew others to him like moths to a flame - because everyone desired power, one way another. To wield it themselves, to use it, to dominate it. Power meant different things to different people, but whatever its personal definition, eyes followed Apollo hungrily no matter his appearance.

Until now. Until Apollo lost it all, shattered and held together by the most frail of mental threads, threads that would take so, so little to snip. Dionysus could do that. Dionysus wanted to do that, to see what would truly become of Apollo when there was nothing left to hold him together.

But something held him back. It wasn’t the desperation in Apollo’s eyes, nor was it the resignation – Apollo knew what he could do, knew that restraint was not a word that ever applied to Dionysus, the god of revelry, the god of madness, the god of succumbing to life’s simple pleasures. It wasn’t the scruffy demigod next to him, it wasn’t fear of Zeus’ anger for encroaching on his territory (much), it wasn’t even to do with that nuisance Nero, or the rather larger inconvenience called Python.

Dionysus didn’t like seeing Apollo brought so low. The pleasure at the sight was surface-level at best, a fleeting fancy covering a hollow ache because Dionysus remembered what it was like to be mortal. They were not memories he liked to peruse, memories that stayed locked away behind pleasure and living in the moment on Olympus, but they were memories nonetheless.

Memories he was forced to confront day in, day out, as the director of this blasted camp, as mortals came, fought, and died, over and over. Mortals who always lived in fear, no matter how diligently they tried to paper it over with pretty words and lies to themselves. Mortals who knew that they would die one day, and likely one day soon.

Were it not for his current, unpleasant, tenure as the camp director, perhaps Dionysus would have mindlessly given into the pleasure of destroying the mind before him. Perhaps he, like those still on Olympus, watching Apollo’s fate for sheer entertainment factor, would not have had a shot of empathy that stayed his power, that had him drawing his poor, vulnerable big brother into his arms and subtly reinforcing some of those threads desperately trying to contain the shattered pieces of his mind so they weren’t so close to snapping under the pressure. Perhaps he would have sealed Apollo’s doom.

But no matter how much he cursed it, Apollo’s situation rang too close to home for Dionysus to truly make it worse. He could not help openly, did not particularly want to help at all despite his unnoticed actions, and not just because Zeus’ wrath was waiting on the wings should anyone dare interfere in Apollo’s favour, but he would not make it worse.

He could, however, continue to revel in being the irritating younger brother. Insults, cutting remarks, parading Apollo around as someone of far lower status than him. It didn’t matter that he was injured, that he could barely stand upright, that his mortal body needed medical attention that Dionysus was pretending not to notice because it didn’t really matter.

Apollo had always been strong. Even now, as he was, physical wounds wouldn’t truly affect him; so long as his mind remained present, embraced in thin strands preventing the shattered parts from straying irreparably far, Dionysus knew that there was nothing that could truly destroy his brother. Besides, Apollo’s son – his special little healer boy who needed his father as much as his father needed him, although neither of them had realised how much their mental strength was currently dependant on the other even though Apollo had thought the world of young Will for the demigod’s entire life, and Will loved his father far more genuinely than most demigod children could even conceive of doing – was unknowingly waiting for him up at the Big House.

They would get there, in time. Perhaps before Apollo’s mortal body succumbed to the physical exhaustion it was suffering, but not necessarily – if it did, there were several demigods who could and would run for Will unprompted. In the interim, Dionysus gave in to the petty pleasure of forcing Apollo to dance to his tune, unable to escape and bordering on humiliated as he was placed in the centre of attention for all the wrong reasons.

Restraint really wasn’t a word that could be applied to him, after all.

Now that you’ve finished with ton, I’d like to ask you! What do you think the point of only Apollo becoming a more Improved version of himself is? The book even goes out of its way to point out that the others gods haven’t changed and will not BE changed. Despite all the promises from the gods to change and do better, they never did. It ends with “Call on me” (which is a great line) but then the question to me is Why do we put up with the other gods now that we’ve seen how good Apollo can be?

Good question! Bear with me a bit since I *just* finished (this morning, technically haha), so my thoughts might change as I think about this more, but my initial impressions:

So, clearly (as cool as it would be) there simply was never the space or scope in this saga to actually enact a full-scale change or overthrow of the Olympians. That was never on the table, just based on where the story begins and what the central arc was.

BUT! I think the point is that big change always has a small start. It has to start with someone. The other Olympians are not like Apollo right now because they didn’t undergo the months-long ordeal Apollo went through. Still, I think it’s really clear that, largely because of Apollo’s transformation and their own grievances, many of the Olympians are very much moving away from Zeus-- just in one chapter alone, we see super strong signs that especially Artemis and Dionysus, and to a lesser extent Hera and Athena, are all cognizant of the “tyranny” of Zeus.

Now, the story ends only, what? One day after Apollo’s conscious and restored to godhood? It’s hard to predict exactly how that’ll affect the other gods in the long run, but it’s crystal clear that Apollo’s transformation is complete. He does not consider Zeus his father. We see him explicitly mirror the very same advice he gave Meg about Nero: distance yourself from the abusive person/situation, accept that tyrants do not change and it is not your responsibility to attempt to make them “see the light”. Thus, Apollo makes no appeal to Zeus-- he understands by then that it’d be fruitless. Instead, he’s concentrating his energy on doing everything he can do with what he has; he’s committed to being a protector and friend of demigods, and he sees that other gods are beginning to (if not already) see Zeus’s wrongness.

Zeus knows the gig is up with Apollo. The tension in the throne room scene was THERE. I don’t think it’s far-fetched to say that there is real resentment among the other gods that is heavily implied to play out later. Zeus knows he has lost Apollo’s fear, and thus, his respect and obedience.

In the ONE DAY we see Apollo revisiting his friends (with Lester’s form) we already see such a profound reaction from the demigods. That enthusiastic welcome from the CHB campers? No god has ever had that before, because no one has deserved it. But Apollo is sticking with his word and he is going to keep coming back-- the other gods will either follow suit, or they will have to reckon with some serious repurcussions, because Apollo is changing the demigods’ world and what their expectations for the other gods will be moving forward.

So much of the whole saga, but specifically the ToA series, focuses on the idea of promises and oaths. Like you said, time and again the gods haven’t followed through with them. Change isn’t happening. Yet, Apollo makes and breaks certain oaths, but throughout the course of ToA, learns to focus on the intentions of his actions and actually commit to following through on what’s important. Styx is the final reckoning-- the whole saga boils down to her one question. Did he learn? Yes. And that’s the only thing that matters. Apollo has learned, and in return, Styx saves him. He is redeemed only because of what he came to understand about demigods and mortals, and the fact that he’s actually doing things about it.
