One surprising quirk about life in medieval times is that people could, and did, take animals and insects to court and try them as if they were humans. While you may think it’s a joke, there is even an account of a trial of weevils.

“Mother monkeys permanently separated from their newborns sometimes find comfort in plush toys: this recent finding from Harvard experiments has set off intense controversy among scientists and reignited the ethical debate over animal testing.”
“But once news of the study began spreading on social media, it provoked a firestorm of criticism and eventually a letter to PNAS signed by over 250 scientists calling for a retraction.”
“"The animal experimenters are the rainmaker within the institutions, because they're bringing in more money," said primatologist Lisa Engel-Jones, who worked as a lab researcher for three decades but now opposes the practice and is a science advisor for PETA."
There's financial incentive to keep doing what you've been doing and just look for any way you can to get more papers published, because that means more funding and more job security," added Emily Trunnel, a neuroscientist who experimented on rodents and also now works for PETA.
Most scientists do not share PETA's absolutist stance, but instead say they adhere to the "three Rs" framework—refine, replace and reduce animal use.”

to all those new comers to the Percy Jackson world and being off on shipping Percabeth because Poseidon and Athena are uncle and niece, it’s stated in the books (specifically The Lost Hero) that gods don’t have DNA the way humans do.
and if that still doesn’t convince you or you may think it’s not a real or valuable explanation, let’s recall other ways that births happen in both greek myths and the Riordanverse:
- Zeus birthed Athena from his brain
- Athena’s demigod children are born the same way. out of her mind. so Annabeth is already way off from the usual goddess birth route
- Zeus also birthed Dionysus from his thigh
- Hephaestus was born from Hera and Zeus, but in a lot of versions its actually Hera who just had him by herself. she got pregnant and it happened. they’re gods. (then chucked him down a mountain) again, they’re gods.
- Hebe, goddess of youth, was born from Hera and a piece lettuce she ate
- in the Trials of Apollo, we learn that Kayla Knowles, daughter of Apollo, has a human father, Darren. meaning she has two fathers: Darren and Apollo. no mother involved in her creation whatsoever.
- Zeus has impregnated quite a large number of people during his time and in various different forms. one of the weirdest ones by far was when he came to a queen in the form of a swan, embraced her as that swan and nine months later she gave birth to two eggs. they hatched and inside was Helen of Sparta (as in Helen of Troy), Clytemnestra, Castur and Pollox.
- Poseidon and Medusa had a child and that child was born from Perseus cutting off Medusa’s head. that child was Pegasus. (yes, that Pegasus) (also some other dude was born too)
- Aphrodite was born out of sea foam made from the severed genitals of Ouranos that fell to the oceans
have i convinced you already? are we done here?

Wanted to draw some other Apollos 🎶🏹
I don't remember much from Blood of Zeus but Apollo's design slayed so I had to include him
And Apollo's design from Hades II is soooo good, can't wait to play the game.
Here's my full Apollo design

The Lawyers of Charlie Slimecicle
Jaiden: Set the stage with her opening statement, laying out the format of the trial and the demands of her client (along with her team's claims against the defendant)
BadBoyHalo: Swooped in with counter-evidence when Mariana's team had a lead
Quackity: Assisted as a translator between teams and clarified misconceptions in favor of his client
Fit: Bribed the judge. Also offered to run over the judge with his motor boat if the trial didn't go their way
Foolish: Got exposed for sleeping with the defense prior to the trial, did a 180 and decided to prosecute against his team
Tilin: Egg (got called in for Jury Duty)
Bonus
Roier: Mariana's sole lawyer, who had to go against 5 attorneys as part of a seemingly loosing battle considering his client was the one who committed egg murder. Held his own quite well with counter arguments that gave his client a fighting chance. Truly, the underrated MVP of the trial

Laxus: Mothers and fuckers of the jury,
Freed: Do you have any idea how much you've damaged my psyche. I was a law student. I went to law school. I will never be able to shake this phrase from my brain. What have you done

Unrealistic qsmp wish: Before the trial starts, it is revealed that the Federation has a fucking parrot as a lawyer.
Everyone thinks they are insane, they check it is just a normal fucking parrot, just retextured to wear a suit. They all think it is a joke, the Feds are serious.
The trial seems decided before it even begins, who hires a parrot as a lawyer? Etoiles is sad there isn't a fight. He says so in his opening statement.
The bird is called up to make the opening statement:
Jaiden Animation unmutes and begins her opening statement.
Etoiles looses his shit and is the happiest fucker in the court room cause he gets an actual fight.
