Apollo, to Commodus: Hey are you single? I think I could worship you.

Apollo: Never mind I took my meds.

Apollo: They wore off how you doing.

ToApril Day 2: Grave Mistake

Fun headcanon time: Lester looks very similar to the form Apollo took while hiding as Commodus' trainer. Because why should things be happy when everyone could just suffer instead?

Reading through Dark Prophecy again. Does Commodus have a drivers license or is he so rich that it doesn’t matter? Also when did he learn to drive? Did he have to take the class? Cause I’m imagining that and it’s making me giggle.

i feel like there’s so much going on here in this one moment before their final fight in the tyrants tomb. i think apollo choosing to focus on his hands can link back to how apollo used his own hands to kill commodus. i also think that to describe his hands as rough when, for the whole book he’s been described pampering himself, it creates a huge switch. in a way i want to say that commodus is representing like this switch from innocent youth to brutal elder. especially since his appearance is really targeted in the fight itself

and on top of that, i don’t think apollo was actually feeling that lack of love as he kept trying to tell the reader. why remind us he holds no feeling in the few moments before and during battle? it’s not necessary.

i think he’s trying to tell himself that he felt nothing, and that that roar of sound was heartbreak, not rage. not just heartbreak from commodus, but from jason and frank and everything else that happened across tbm and ttt.

and commodus, this last moment makes it so completely clear that his one goal was always to get revenge on apollo. he had no interest in the triumvirate. ‘his eyes glittered with hatred’ as he looked at apollo, right after he gave the signal to destroy new rome? it is all to taunt apollo. none of it was about their plans.

commodus is a character drive by anger and rage and bitterness and heartbreak of his own. i think for those thousands of years he was sitting with the idea that he must have lost apollo’s love along with his blessing. and if the force behind apollo’s shout was indeed heartbreak, which comes from love, you could say commodus literally crumbled underneath proof of apollo’s love. everything his existence hinged on would disappear within in an instant, making it easy for him, as a god, to disappear too.

Do not imagine Commodus leaning into Apollo before everything went wrong and telling him that Apollo makes him feel that, between the both of them, he is the god in their relationship. And don't imagine Apollo's pride and affection over that because in his mind that could only mean that Commodus felt loved and served by him, not that Commodus viewed him as anything lesser. Especially don't imagine how that would sour for Apollo millenia later later when he realises that those words were not passionate claims but truth Commodus intended to make a reality.

#many thoughts about them #toa commodus #not the real dude #trials of apollo #toa apollo #basically #commodus semi internally: hah weakling i might as well be the god here i swear #apollo: is this romance?

the death of commodus, 192 ad, colorized

based (heavily, and i do mean i basically redrew it with different characters and colored it, with minor adjustments such as some limb placement and bubble placements) on the One Panel from the manga “the summer hikaru died” as it immediately made me think about This instance.

(composition not technically mine, but you better believe i slaved over all those colors choices)

#toa apollo #toa commodus #trials of apollo #water and bubbles are hard to shade right #went ham with the watercolor brushes for that good Texture #also #very happy with how the contrasting colors turned out #the greens vs reds #small blue tones vs oranges #and the little purple shadows around the yellow

Apollo and Commodus’s relationship in Trials Of Apollo is so interesting and compelling to me. The way that they used to be lovers but now both hate each other is just…. I want to see more of their relationship, how Apollo felt guilt for drowning him, how Commodus had A FUCKING PICTURE OF LESTER PAPADOPOULOS AND THREW KNIVES AT THE PHOTO IN HIS SPARE TIME

Their flashbacks together were so good and I wouldn’t mind if Rick Riordan decided to expand more on their relationship with a book or something… (or perhaps that’s just wishful thinking, but I just love how their dynamic is in the book)

#toa #trials of apollo #lester papadopoulos #toa commodus #I don’t think Rick would write about their relationship #that’s what fanfic is for I guess
