this lying ass god of truth

once again thinking about how Apollo admits he couldn’t bear the thought of someone else killing Commodus. so he did it himself.

insane behavior. peak toxic homosexuality. I just know Commodus would EAT THAT UP if he ever knew…

Young Commodus probably once said:

As you may be able to tell, this sketch animatic took me a rather long time. Trials Of Apollo (really the whole Riordanverse) is honestly a super huge interest of mine and it always has been. Ever since I read the first Percy Jackson book I've been kinda stuck in it- maybe I'll never leave!

Anyway, I am also very interested in the history of Rome. As you can imagine, reading the Commodus section of the Historia Augusta was very fun for me. The fictional portrayal of him in ToA is also interesting in my opinion, especially because Apollo is my favorite character in PJO/HoO/ToA... or really anywhere in the series.

So yeah. I like Copollo a lot. What can I say? The fact that they are not good for each other has compelled me.

This idea for an animatic was actually inspired by a post by @/apollosgiftofprophecy! (https://www.tumblr.com/apollosgiftofprophecy/751466998199926784/apollo-commodus-be-like-they-are-very-veronica?source=share) It seemed like a good idea, so I went for it!

Fandom: Trials Of Apollo (ToA) Characters: Apollo (also as Lester) and Commodus, as well as Frank, Hazel, Hestia, Hera, Zeus, and Meg for a few frames each. Ship: Copollo Song: I Say No from Heathers Animation program: Pencil2D

Several extra/unused/unfinished frames under the cut!

i love ToA because no matter how commodus is described I'll always picture him wearing some shit like this to get apollo's attention (and it'd work)

My life is falling apart so I'm coping drawing Copollo

Hi , so , I’ve stumbled upon an interesting article on Read Riordan and lets just say that I’ve stumbled upon a very interesting passage that can be found under the title of “On the Subject of the Gods”:

Now , in my opinion , this implies a lot of things but most importantly it hints at a certain scene that happened in the Dark Prophecy: The tent scene

The tent scene is one of the scenes that we read or get introduced to it from Apollo’s perspective and not to mention it’s one of the many many interactions between them.

Nevertheless, Commodus’s reaction when he eats the grape feels like an implication that he still remembers the moment and probably misses Apollo ( or I may be wrong ).
