I know I mentioned it in the tags of one of your posts, but I think Goodbye by Bo Burnham would fit with Apollo. "So long, goodbye/Hey, here's a fun idea/How about I sit on the couch/And I watch you next time?/I wanna hear you tell a joke/When no one's laughing in the background." could be like how he feels like his suffering is just entertainment to the other gods maybe?? There's more I just can't fit it all in an ask lol-

Hello Rosie <333

Ok, first of all- this song is AMAZING. LIKE- ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD THIS??? TYSM FOR SHOWING ME THIS MASTERPEICE BECAUSE O M G-

*cracks knuckles*

So- general vibes first.

This might be just because of the song name- but to me this song is like something that would play after the big fight in ToN. Like- while Apollo's hanging from the edge of Chaos- to the end of the Olympian Council meeting (By which I mean he absolutely owns that meeting)

Now- lyrics.

There's some parts which I feel really fits the vibe of him hanging at the edge of Chaos-

So long, goodbye Do I really have to finish? Do returns always diminish? Did I say that right?

So this is how it ends I promise to never go outside again

So long, bye I'm slowly losing power Has it only been an hour? No, that can't be right

I think these parts fit best because of this part-

These parts are exactly like those lines because it just feels like a goodbye, that sense of "Well, it's going to end soon."

"So long, goodbye/Hey, here's a fun idea/How about I sit on the couch/And I watch you next time?/I wanna hear you tell a joke/When no one's laughing in the background." could be like how he feels like his suffering is just entertainment to the other gods maybe??

Yes!!! Yes those lines are exactly like that! I also feel like that line Am I right back where I started fourteen years ago? because it fits how Apollo felt like when he was in the Council meeting. He feels like he's back in the same old abusive environment and such. (Though the whole 'he's still in the same abusive environment with his eyes closed' thing is a whole other argument which I won't get into right now sksks)

Also, this is more a stretch really but I think that these lines also sorta fit? Like it only kind of works?

If I wake up in a house that's full of smoke I'll panic, so call me up and tell me a joke When I'm fully irrelevant and totally broken Dammit, call me up and tell me a joke

I'm not really sure of what this actual proper meaning of this is, but I thought that it was like how everyone expected Apollo to be this sunny, always joking, shallow guy (Artemis looking at you) and he always had to keep up that facade of being that same optimistically annoying guy you know?

Anyways I really loved doing this <333 It was so fun to look through all this sksksk

P.S- I read the final battle while playing this song and OH MY GOD it really hit different like- wow
