ApoIIo's Ben Schw.artz fc is him at his most comfortable. There's just a level of intimacy or closeness if that's the face you know him with. There's a bit of... performance that comes with his faces, not necessarily a less authentic version of himself, but perhaps a more guarded one? Those are maybe more the versions of himself that he's Supposed To Be, and this is more the version of himself that Is.

what would your muse say is their biggest flaw? for apollo, ash, and naoise !

@heartfullofxfright || headcanon asks ( accepting )

Apollo:

"Oh, I do not love this question. I mean, it's absolutely my inability to successfully raise a child on my own. But it's one those things I make an active effort not to think about, thanks."

Ash:

"...it used to be that I was too soft. Sometimes I think now I've swung too far in the opposite direction."

Naoise:

"That would depend on who you ask, I suppose. I like who I am and what I am, but sometimes I think it would be nice if I felt emotions on a more human scale and not so much on the fae scale."

🍽 for apollo, cam, and cisco!!

@heartfullofxfright || 🍽 - What is my muse’s favorite food?

apollo

okay so i'm gonna stick with human food and also with food and not drinks. so he tends to be a big fan of summery foods and really loves honey-flavored things in particular. he's always loved honey cakes, but he's very much intrigued by the use of honey in savory/spicy dishes and also really likes some hot-honey chicken.

cam

this is so basic but i gotta respect that it's just who cam is as a person. he loves pepperoni pizza. any pizza is good tbh, but he's a big fan of the classics.

cisco

one of cisco's favorite winter holiday traditions is making tamales with his mom! they've been doing it his entire life and there's so much comfort in the familiarity of that. but! in his mind, tamales are a yule food only so the rest of the year, he's more of a seafood person. shrimp is probably his favorite but tbh it depends on when you ask him. he loves a good ceviche recipe, though.

❤️ for apollo, ash, beck, and max!!

@heartfullofxfright || headcanon meme ( accepting ) ❤️ - Does my muse believe in true love?

Apollo:

“Of course. I mean, I literally know Aphrodite and Eros, even if we’re not always on the best of terms. I think I’d still believe in it even without them, though. Maybe not in the way mortals do. I don’t think I believe there’s only one true love for everyone. Maybe that’s true for mortals, I can’t say. But I’ve been in love before and I’ll be in love again and it’s always different and unique and none of it is any less important or any less true because of the other times.”

Ash:

“...maybe? I don’t... I’m not sure, I guess. But I’m not sure about much. I used to, I think, when I was younger. Maybe it went with the optimism. I can’t say I’ve seen a lot of real life examples of it. I guess I wouldn’t rule out the possibility, but I don’t have a lot of hope for it.”

Beck:

“Love is... complicated, I think? I think true love exists, but I don’t think that means it’s easy, y’know? I think my parents are truly in love and they broke up. Mom left for a little while. But they tried again and they’re happy. I think a lot of people expect true love to not require any work or effort, but that’s not how relationships work. So yeah, I believe in it, but not like the fairytale kind. Happily ever after takes effort and that’s okay.”

Max:

“Abso-fucking-lutely. Which I know doesn’t exactly seem like a thing I’d be for, but that’s why assumptions make you an ass. But my parents were like... grossly in love. And Gael an’ Xal? Also stupidly in love, even if it took them like half a century to realize it. I dunno if true love’s for me, but I know that some people find it an’ they’re happy with it and I’d have to be an absolute dumbass to ignore the obvious evidence of it in my life.”

ApoIIo, Calanthe, Xylia, and Kayson

[babyitsmagic]

Calanthe is a siren. She’s mean as all hell but she’s also witty and funny and can certainly be charming when she wants and she had ApoIIo wrapped around her fingers. He knew she was a bad idea, knew he couldn’t keep hooking up with her, but stopping was a lot harder than it should have been. She gave him Xylia and he knew they couldn’t raise her, so he found a good home for her and he’s so glad to have her. She’s such a good kid. And knowing that they’d made someone so good? It made him keep coming back to Calanthe. And then Kayson was born and ApoIIo knew, in the way a god of prophecy can, what Kayson was going to be like. And that was finally enough to get him to stop coming around Calanthe. It’s hard. They had fun together. But he knows now that he doesn’t want anymore children with her.

i put both these images together for the sake of comparing them. apollo’s older appearances vs his younger appearances.

Pieces of Pantheon

Dio.nysus

God of wine, winemaking, grape cultivation, theater, fertility, madness, and religious ecstasy. Despite many differences in personality, Dio.nysus and Ap.ollo get along fairly well.

fc: Da.vid Tenn.ant

Her.mes

God of too much shit but most importantly: travelers, hospitality, roads, thieves, and trickery/cunning. Messenger to the gods. Her.mes is Ap.ollo’s partner in crime most of the time, one of the only ones willing to get up to trouble wit him. It’s hard to say which of them is the least responsible, really.

fc: Send.hil Rama.murthy
