Congratulations to Marcille DungeonMeshi for achieving Pathetic Little Man status on tumblr, a hard glass ceiling for many female characters to break. I look forward to calling you my sopping wet beast and poor little meow meow for fandom days to come. Keep trucking babygirl, you'll bag Falin one day
sometimes it's hard to remember that lesterpollo is a fictional adaptation of an ancient deity and not my baby who i birthed out of my body and that's because it's not true, he is my son
I love the toa fandom and this nice community so much but the fact that my most popular posts (still getting notes to this day) are about Apollo pissing himself and Apollo being outed as a bottom says sooo much about you guys.
This is probably like the third (and counting 🤭) Hyacinthus AU I've been thinking about but imagine: TOA stays mostly the same except Hyacinthus doesn't appear just once like in canon, but the dream near the end of THO is simply one of the many instances in which he reveals himself at random to bestow his ominous counsel upon Apollo
It'd be added guidance—not only does Apollo have the Arrow of Dodona to guide him in his decision-making and to give him answers on the spot for any of his questions, but his ex boyfriend is now here to terrorize him with vague predictions of the future as well! Pocket Oracle
Hyacinthus' appearances are scarce at first and he can only appear in Apollo's dreams, but as time goes on he manages to somehow project himself in the real world as well (maybe it could have something to do with him being turned into a flower and not being an actual citizen of the Underworld? idk) so Apollo can actually talk to him for a longer time and see him more clearly
Apollo is obvioysly surprised and distressed about it at first, but then he grows more used to seeing him, though of course neither of them can control for how long they'll see each other or when
Still, even for such a small opportunity, they're happy
(Additional comedic bits of this AU to counterbalance the angst of two lovers not being able to touch each other and being forced into separation time and time again:
- The Arrow gets incredibly jealous in a "excuse me ACTUALLY I was his magical aid and source of info first gtfo" kind of way
- Meg and the others see him talking to the air and gazing at it lovingly multiple times and decide, without further investigation, that he finally lost it
- Every single time he dreams of Hyacinthus he wakes up with a pot of hyacinths in his hands without fail and no one can figure out where those flowers came from. A popular theory among the demigods is that his only remaining power is creating flowers. Others say he used the pot as a teddy bear)
GUYS THEY HAVE MADE UP CONFIRMED CONFIRMED CONFIRMED THIS WAS RECENTLY POSTED APOLLO IS STILL IN THE PICTURE TO THIS DAY AND IS STILL AROUND HE KEPT HIS PROMISE EVERYONE SPREAD THE WORD LET'S FUCKING GO TAKE THAT TSATS
It's so funny whenever anyone implies that lester isn't very capable as if they're not ultra-fit demigods who can have basically instant heal potions and he's Literally Some Guy with So Many Injuries
