More proof for my “Apollo is actually a shitty mortal driver” theory. Reread the bit where they got pulled over in TDP, and it’s implied they got pulled over bc the cop thought Apollo looked suspicious driving a Mercedes, but like, this is just outside city lines, so I see no reason why the cop wouldn’t just assume Apollo was some rich kid who’s parents bought him a fancy car. Unless, of course, Apollo was going a smooth 95 on the highway and swerving into exits .2 seconds before the road ended.
And Apollo says “the officer stopped us for no good reason that I could see.” Which just cements it in my mind that he was unknowingly committing several traffic crimes against humanity.
Also also, when Meg comes up with an excuse, she specifically mentions that they’re late for piano lessons. Like, she emphasizes it. Again, this might just be to get the police officer off their back, but I like to think Meg knew Lester was driving like they were starring in a Michael Bay film, and was desperately trying to come up with a reason for it.

If I don’t see someone make an edit of Thalia driving/crashing Apollo’s chariot (sun bus?) to the theme tune of The Magic School Bus for PJO season 3 I will be rioting

Apollo and his sun horses are like Uncle Ben and Kevin from the Urban Rescue Ranch but with more Fear (from Apollo ofc).
Apollo: …and this here is one of my sweet baby boys, Eous. He has once again bit off half the door to his stall, but that’s okay because I love him <3
Eous: NEIGHHEREOEIGHEOPHH
Apollo: Aha…buddy…
he then proceeds to fix it whilst periodically (gently) whacking Eous with a shield whenever he starts opening his mouth.

ToApril Day 11: Remembrance
I feel like there are dozens of characters this prompt could refer too (Kind of crazy how many people die in ToA) so I went with a more obscure bit and made a piece about Helios! I wonder if Apollo's connection to the sun changed after the Trials, since he is now truly the only Greek sun god.

In light of the PJO show and my ongoing R&J hyperfixation, I have a Romeo & Juliet Percy Jackson AU if anyone would like to hear about it
