I feel like so much would change if Apollo had been camp director instead of Dionysus.

officially my birthday and just wanted to express my gratitude for this little community ❤️
I absolutely love the kindness and support here, and the sharing of knowledge that happens here. Hellenic polytheism is one of the greatest gifts in my life.
I love being able to worship Lord Apollo, Lady Athena, and Lady Aphrodite 🫶 Here’s to 22!

Ayyy my guy any headcanons of the second gen bros beings protective over their sisters? Your stuffs cool
Thanks for liking my HCs about the second-gen Olympians! Here is more about the brothers being protective or caring for their sisters!
Apollo is scared that what has happened to his mother (Leto) can happen to Artemis. Every god and mortal man has to prove his trustworthiness to Apollo before getting close to Artemis.
Apollo was ready to beat the living crap out of Heracles for trying to kill Artemis' Ceryneian Hind (Heracles had to explain his labor to save his ass)
As said before about Apollo worrying for Artemis' safety with men, he fought tooth and nail against the Aloedae giants to protect his sister from their grimy hands. It's one of the few times the god of rationality gets so violent.
Ares also fought the Aloedae giants to protect Hera and Artemis. When Ares was trapped by the giants for a lunar year, he never once blamed Hera or Artemis, taking all the mishaps to himself.
Ares saw sacrificing himself for Artemis as "repentance" for the time he persecuted Leto when she was pregnant.
Ares would have gone 1v1 on Hades for abducting Persephone if the others didn't stop him in time. Uncle or not, if anyone hurt his sister he will fight them.
The same goes for his brothers, but with less violence. When Ares found out Hephaestus was inappropriate with Athena, he yelled at him afterward.
When Hermes escorted Persephone back to the living world, he had to constantly comfort her because Persephone was seriously traumatized.
Hermes couldn't hug her because Persephone panicked every time she was touched, so he opted to soothe her with words, "Hey, it's okay. I'm taking you home now. You will be safe."
Aside from Hecate, Hermes is Persephone's other companion when she returns to the Underworld every winter. He tries to cheer her up when she gets sad about leaving her homeland.
Hermes keeps Persephone updated about the upper world while she is with Hades. He secretly puts her on his priority list and always delivers her letters and gifts first (just after the elder Olympians)
The virgin hunters, the maenad followers, and the Amazon warriors don't interact much. But if any group is in danger, Artemis, Dionysus, and Ares will send theirs to aid them.
Ares secretly offers to be the scapegoat for Zeus and Hera to lash out whenever they are mad. Ares will not let Eileithyia, Enyo, and Hebe take the wrath of their parents. If one of his sisters is near their parents when they are angry, Ares will pull them away and take the scolding himself.
During harvest days, Apollo lent a hand in controlling the pest population (mice, cicadas, etc.) to make the work easier for Persephone.

Words from the Gods
Communication with the Gods is daunting. There's something about the many ways by which it can happen, the strange ways by which it can happen, and also how it is seen online versus real life, all of which can lead to confusion and a bit of dismay. I remembered reading a lot of stories about people's encounters with the Gods, which seemed to be these casual conversations, like those you would have with friends. I definitely wasn't getting those kinds of communications, and had a lot of worry that I was doing things Wrong, Somehow. There was definitely some time where my worship was based more towards "man, I hope this God/Goddess gets me some cool experiences I could share with my friends!" instead of wanting to focus on building a relationship with the Deity Themselves.
Over the years, I've grown better at understanding and picking out communications from the Gods. Obviously, I'm not an expert on it, and I wouldn't claim to be. However, I'm starting this series (words from the Gods) to hopefully help with explaining the different ways that I have encountered the Gods (mostly Dionysos), and how they impacted me, as well as how to discern these communications. As the old saying goes, your mileage may vary, but I do hope that this will help people in their worship!
I can't quite say when the first post comes out, seeing as I'm swinging terrifyingly close to finals, graduation, and the Great Adult Life that lies beyond college. But, I'll try my best to keep it going and updated!
edited this to remove the line markers that i sometimes use to mark how much i've written lol, my ADHD needs some fun little thing to keep me writing

AU where Mr. D claiming to be Percy’s dad accidentally counts as Claiming according to Greek god law or whatever and now all the other gods legitimacy believe Percy is his son, but if Mr. D corrects it, he has to explain to Zeus why he pretended he was Percy’s dad so now he’s like “YEP ol’ Perry Johansson is MY child wowie just look at the little fry, you have your mother’s eyes. Please stop standing next to water or you will blow my cover”
Meanwhile Poseidon is just standing off to the side like “how on earth did I dodge THAT bullet”
