"I asked chatgpt—" well I asked Percy Jackson, and he said "His fiery armour was so bright it was hard to look at, and his matching Ray-Bans and perfect smile made him look like a male model for battle gear."

Post-TOA Apollo wants to help every demigod he can but the "no interference" rule means he has to do it on a way that gives him plausible deniability. Like, monster misses a killing blow because the sun gets in his eyes? Sure, that could happen on its own. Demigod running low on supplies stumbles across a fully-stocked storage shed complete with celestial bronze weaponry? Less likely, but still possible.
And every now and then he pulls some shit like this:
Missed Potential of "Trials of Hermes"
I feel like this Reddit post captures a lot of my longing for further Hermes development in the PJOverse.
So much of Hermes and the Castellans' story is unresolved. And unlike Apollo, I think Hermes would have been an actual advocate for change. Especially given he is the herald of the gods and all that.
I asked a TOA fan on Tumblr whose content I really loved back in the day about TOA, and I was basically told by them that Apollo's story has nothing to do with uplifting the system but Apollo's trauma :(. Who gives a crap about Apollo's trauma!? Hermes and Mr D were the ones with trauma in PJO. Athena had trauma going on in HOO. What about Hal's trauma??? What I want to see is the gods finally fulfilling the hope Percy had in PJO!
I hope someone finally writes the Hermes version of Trials of Apollo. Maybe there are fics like that out there already...if there are please let me know! PJO Hermes had so much potential but Rick like the hack writer he is dropped the ball.
Throwing an idea for perpollo writers
Son of Thetis!Percy and some tive travel bs so he’s at the trojan war period. Bonus points if he still has the Curse of Achilles
Just imagine Apollo being exasperated that Percy is Achilles’s brother when Percy is all lovely and wonderful and Achilles is a cunt
Chapter 16 of Tears!
I hate how toa introduced Apollo being his abusive father's least favourite son. please Apollo's poor meow meowism isn't because Zeus is abusive, the man was just born like that
I may just be sensitive but I hate the jokes where characters tear down Apollo's singing voice/albums/works of art/etc in pjo fics or fanworks. like it's painfully unfunny and imo disrespectful towards the actual god people worship
Percy has constant back and neck pain from holding up the sky, so every night Apollo gives him a massage
