#pjo Leto

[literallyjusttoa]

Very self-indulgent design idea time!

When I was redrawing my timeline for Apollo’s life, I gave him horns as a kid, both as something he inherited from his mother and a nod to his place as the god of shepherding. I said that they were broken after his first battle with Python, and never regrew. Well, what if after his second battle with the same foe, they came back?

This is kind’ve tied to a little idea I’ve had for a while about how Apollo ascended in ToN. Bc I’m pretty sure Zeus did not restore his godly powers lol, that man was pretty intent on Apollo dying. I imagine that Apollo had some immortal powers in reserve (hence all the power boosts earlier in the series) that Zeus didn’t notice. And Zeus didn’t notice bc these powers were from his titan side, not his godly side. So when he fell into chaos and all that, those powers truly kicked in as a survival instinct, and he ascended to Olympus as a titan, not a god. Is this what happened in canon? Absolutely not! But I like to use it in my head as a silly little explanation lol.

Anyways Apollo and Leto with horns bc it’s cool and all of this is an excuse for me to slap horns onto their designs.

#trials of apollo #toa apollo #lester papadopoulos #pjo leto #apollart #sunny speaks #gave Leto backwards horns bc it looks cool and she’s a titaness they can look however she wants #Artemis has horns too btw she just hides hers to blend in better with the other Olympians #(and also so Apollo would feel less bad about not having his) #they come out when she hunts sometimes tho

Lester reacts. Apollo has breakfast with his mother. The author claws her way against the Sisyphean task that is combatting the ao3 curse!

I feel like Apollo would really feel for percy when he goes "I am SALLY JACKSON'S son!" He'd have such respect for him, be real.

Oh, you like your mom WAYYY more than your dad? FELT

Not sure if this would be amusing or horrifying. But I’m imagining a Trials of Apollo AU where Apollo is sent down to Earth in the same physical form that he was in when he fought Python the first time. Which in my mind, for whatever the reason, makes him appear about 7-8 years old.

Most things end up happening the same but no one takes Apollo seriously because he looks like a second-grader. (However, Apollo doesn’t get beat up by Cade and Mikey, and Diana spends a few minutes cuddling Apollo because that’s HER baby brother and she misses him.) Plus, Cabin Seven has more than one moment where they are holding back hysterics and the urge to wrap their Father up in bubble wrap because Apollo is a tiny fragile mortal who supremely overestimates what he’s capable of doing in child-form (and don’t get him started on talking about their mortal parents, this situation is already too weird). Chiron is also despairing because he already dealt with young Apollo being weirdly paternal once before, and now he has to deal with it again (Dionysus is outwardly laughing but inwardly panicking because he’s seen far too many children die and he knows what Zeus is like when it comes to letting other gods try to help someone he’s decided to punish)

Meg is suffering from cognitive disonnance because she was half-joking when she claimed Apollo’s service and is now stuck with a child-like ex-god who has a bunch of children of his own.

Bonus: Zeus is questioning his life-choices because child!Apollo keeps getting himself almost adopted by random strangers for some reason (and a part of him is furious and intending to strike them all down because Apollo is HIS son, not THEIRS) and this was not the punishment the king of the gods intended for him (and all the other gods are quietly side-eyeing him nervously). Leto is furious because that’s her baby and she wants him safe and not to go fighting that evil snake again (at least he isn’t a four-day old baby this time) but Zeus refuses to listen to her.

I have this fic idea that came to me at midnight but what about a modern setting where Apollo and Artemis are archery shop owners with an archery range to teach kids in the back. They rotate every week. One week you're greeted with a handsome twink with golden hair and the next you're greeted with the definition of "butch lesbian" just think about it. One week of literal sunshine "Hi! Welcome to Leto's Twins how can I help you today? If you're here for archery class Arty's in the back :]" One week of tired overworked "I cant deal with this anymore" "Hello. This is Leto's Twins. You've seen the sign. Archery class is in the back, taught by my little bitch brother." Just an entire fic of Artemis and Apollo being siblings and funny shenanigans Apollo: Arty I just found the most PERFECT guy Artemis: You said that about Commodus and he was the worst person to walk the earth. Apollo: He's different! I know it! Artemis: 'Pollo the only person so far I can think of that was a man and a good person was Hektor.

ToA Headcanon

At same point during Apollo's trials (or after them) Hera and Leto reconciled.

I think that best moment for that is after Jason's death.

After Hera saw how her husband did nothing to save his own son, her own chosen one. After she saw how little he cared for his life. How when she cried and grived, he sat at his throne unmoved and unbotherd, annoyed by her tears.

How he did nothing when Apollo, his godly son, his fellow Olympian, tried to kill himself so his friends, demigods, could live.

That was Hera's breaking point. When she finally admitted to herself that her anger was always misplaced. It was not her husband's bastard children she should hate but Zeus himself. She always knew that, deep down in her cold, broken heart. But it was easier to go after weak mortal women, nymphs or minor godesses. It was easier to go after defenseless innocent children who didn't asked to be born.

She was always doing that because she could not go against her husband, her king.

The same way Apollo went after cyclops when it was Zeus who killed Asclepius, Apollo's beloved child, because it was easier, safer.

So Hera, heartbroken after Jason's death, haunted by image of Apollo lying on the floor, bleading to death with an arrow in his chest, went to see Leto.

Because Leto would understand her pain as she was also suffering. Because Leto needed comfort as much as Hera did. Because they were friends once, before the Twins were born. Because Hera after over 4000 years finally understood that she had to apologize.

And maybe Leto wasn't ready to forgive her yet, but when she saw queen's pained face she knew that no one could understand her better right now, so she let her stay by her side for moment. One mother greaving the child that was wasn't even hers and one mother who could lost hers at any moment now, both longing for comfort when the father of both sons sat unbotherd on his throne while his childern were suffering and dying.

Maybe I'm giving Hera to much credit here but those 2 scenes she had in ToN are so heartbreaking to me. Come on, how many gods openly cries and mourns for their children? And Jason wasn't even hers. Nor is Apollo, but she was the one to tell everyone to shut tf up when they started to discuss who could become an Olympian in his place after he dies.

how do u picture Leto (pjo)? like ik gods look how they want, but do u think that Apollo or Arty may keep some of their features to resemble hers, or vice versa??

I think that even if gods can look however they want, they do have some sort of "original form" that is influenced by their family. For example, technically Artemis and Apollo never met Koios, since he was imprisoned in Tartarus long before their birth, but according to Percy, Artemis has his cold eyes and Apollo has his smile, which means that hereditary traits in gods ARE indeed a thing in the rrverse. Either that or they modelled their features after Leto and Leto modelled hers after Koios, which would have some really interesting implications in regards to her loyalty to Zeus. ANYWAY

This is to say that I do think that they look like her to some degree. I imagine that Apollo has her light eyes and hair and her warm skin, but is overall different from a structural point of view, while Artemis keeps Leto's softer shapes in her child form

As for Leto herself, according to Theoi she's the goddess of motherhood and protector of the young, so I always imagined her to have some sort of motherly presence. She's comforting and she looks like the kindest of souls and even if you don't know her you know that you can trust her 💕 hopefully her clothing shows that too

Getting one last post in before 2024 to say that Apollo has a signature dessert he taught himself to make, which is the most incredible melopita (honey pie) known to man. He makes it for every special occasion and refuses to give the recipe out no matter what he’s bribed with.

His mom is the same way. She’s makes an otherworldly galaktoboureko (phyllo and custard dessert) and Apollo and Artemis have been begging her to teach them how to make it for centuries. She’s told them the same thing since they were young, “if I teach you to make it, you’ll eat it alone and you wont like it. My recipes are for family, they only taste good because we eat them together.” The first time Artemis asked Apollo for his melopita recipe, he smirked and told her the exact same thing.

Now Artemis makes incredible pasteli (honey sesame bars) and the three of them hoard their recipes like territorial dragons. It’s like Mr. Krabs’ secret formula, they all try to sneak and find out the others recipes, but it never works. Still, when celebrations come around, every nature spirit in the Cyclades knows you stop by Delos to have your life changed by the hosting family’s desserts.

Consider that hugs from paternal / maternal / kourotrophic deities are so tender and warm because these beings are powerful and so, so destructive and could easily rip you into pieces or crush you into dust or kill you in a million different ways with less than a thought,

but instead, you are cradled like the most precious thing in the universe.
