#pjo boreas

[bigmackwhopper]

boreas being described as strong, with a violent temperament to match, and as the ‘cruelest’ of his brothers- one of his most famous stories being of the abduction of oreithyia

I can make apricity SO messed up and toxic yall have no idea

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

Apollo absolutely played Hard To Get™ with Boreas btw. that is a hill i will Die On.

[apollosothertwin]

Apollo and Boreas have the best cuddles because it’s the perfect mix of warm and cold all covered up my Boreas’s wings

[literallyjusttoa]

I wanted to draw Apollo and Boreas together but then I realized that the design for Boreas I had in my head looked far too similar to Zeus and that made me feel

So I’m gonna need a second to rework that.

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

I keep thinking about Commodus interacting with literally any of Apollo’s immortal lovers (Cyrene, Boreas). He would hate them so much 😅 Like both before and after the drowning he’s just the most possessive guy ever and it leaves so much room for ideas

IT'S SUCH A FUNNY CONCEPT FR

cuz like - okay, he would be 100% jealous of all of them.

Cyrene? Yes. Boreas? Absolutely. The Muses? Ya-huh.

However, I think he'd hate Boreas the most XD He is the "other man" (or at least...in Commodus's eyes. we all know Commodus is the "other man" in Apricity LMAO) and he'd HAAATEEEE it XD

I can definitely see Commodus being low-key jealous of Cyrene and the Muses, but he would be high-key jealous of Boreas.

I mean like. Come on.

He's; 1) hot - sorry, I mean attractive, because northern gods don't like the use of 'hot' lol; 2) been with Apollo MUCH longer; and 3) is an actual god compared to Commodus's wannabeness

Like Hyacinthus is DEF Public Enemy #1 to Commodus when it comes to Apollo's heart, but you BET Boreas would set those alarms off QUICK XD

man i just realized Apollo rlly likes them brunettes. Commodus, Boreas, Hyacinthus, Branchus... he has a type

au where all of Apollo's lovers read toa. i'll get the popcorn let's watch this trainwreck go down !!

Hi Alder! This ask is an excuse for you to go off on whatever topic your little heart desires, but you haven't gotten an ask for. Enjoy! - Greene

y’all are starving for Apricity, aren’t cha?

Considering the demand, I might as well us this as my springboard LMAO

Firstly, here’s a link to my previous Apricity headcanons post, where we went wild with silly headcanons and ideas!

Followed up by this and this by @bigmackwhopper who made me remember the potential toxicity in their relationship hehe ( i may play with that someday...we'll see)

Next? *cracks knuckles* Let’s see what I can cook up.

Boreas is canonically considered to be the most powerful wind god, since he is of the Northern winds and to the Greeks, that was a scary thing lol It is really quite fascinating to think about how Boreas is oft the harsher wind among his brothers, yet Apollo's main opponent among them is Zephyrus, the gentlest wind.

very curious that the summery, bright, warm god hooks up with the cold, harsh wind in direct opposition to the gentle, spring wind. (throw in their relationships with Hyacinthus and it gets wilder, too! Boreas - the harsh wind - backs off where Zephryus - the gentle wind - lashes out. These two are in direct contrast/complement with each other and it is fascinating.)

anyway random-ass headcanon i have is that Boreas was the first god/guy Apollo slept with. but he was not the first god/guy he was with. 👀 pushing my eropollo exes agenda.

i am not gonna give apollo a complex over sleeping with eros. he has a whole other complex to deal with curtesy of him asdfjkl I will, however, give him a complex over sleeping with boreas. all the issues!!

now what was that about having a complex over sleeping with boreas? ahem. daddy issues. @bigmackwhopper said it first.

i have a very short playlist for Apricity on spotify rn, and as a teaser I'll drop august by Taylor Swift as their song. which is ironic, considering their affairs happen in the winter lmao

ehhhh ykw go ahead have the whole thing. only like 10 songs on their right now but there u go.

enjoyyyyy :3

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

I live for all these ships with Apollo like Apollo and Thanatos, Cupid, and even the most dumpsterfire ship of all time Copollo (I go feral over these two)

But one ship that stood out to me was Boreas and Apollo, and apparently the Boreads describe Apollo as "Beloved of our sire" And the fact that Koios is basically Boreas' boss makes this so much more better

So basically I'm asking for Boreas and Apollo headcanons 👀

(And if you take fic reqs, I wouldn't mind a fic with these two)

Apollo is SOOOOOO Shippable lmao XD He has such a variety of lovers and that really allows us to be able to explore a variety of relationship!

Healthy or toxic, lmao XD Copollo is Top Tier imo

and on the topic of Boreas, I have one extra thing to add there because I personally headcanon that Lelantos, titan of air & moving unseen (and apollo's uncle), used to be the head of the wind gods but was stripped of his title by Zeus post-titan war because he sided with Kronos.

So therefore, both of Boreas's bosses are relatives of Apollo's lmao XD

HEADCANONS, EH?

ahem

Imo, Hyperborea was some sort of courting gift or something Boreas gave Apollo. Because here's the thing with Hyperborea:

It's the One Place Boreas does not blow his winds, hence its title of Eternal Spring.

Boreas's palace resides at the southern border of Hyperborea, with gryphons who live in BOTH places.

Three of Boreas's son are PRIESTS of Hyperborea, and serve Apollo when he's there.

Three of Boreas's daughters joined Artemis's hunt (Oupis features in my fic Shattered Minds, btw!)

Hyperborea is literally "over the north wind" in Greek.

I think we can all agree winter is the time Apollo and Boreas hook up lmao XD

Boreas ALSO, in some versions, is a suitor of Hyacinthus, but he clearly doesn't hold any ill-will about Hya & Apollo because let's be real, he would have picked Apollo too XD

So imagine this. Hyacinthus & Apollo making out. Then Apollo & Boreas making out. HECK HYACINTHUS & BOREAS MAKING OUT.

THIS MEME IS THEM

ALSO I RAISE YOU-

Zephyrus has a crush on Apollo :3 (It makes sense. also Apollo is widely associated with spring and Zephyrus is the SPRING wind, and likes pretty guys and Apollo is the prettiest so-)

I blabbered about that in the Discord with @xxzephyrbreezexx and our fellow Discord user whom I don't know if they have a blog here 😭 KNOW I AM POINTING VIOLENTLY IN YOUR DIRECTION

You are Zephyrus. You have a crush on Apollo. You also get a crush on his boyfriend.

AND THEN YOUR BROTHER FUCKS BOTH OF THEM

The Hyacinthus Debacle, as I have dubbed it, also created a bit of a rift between Boreas and Zephyrus, which is Sad because they are usually associated with each other in literature, art, ect :(

Family dinners are Awkward. Even more so when Boreas brings Apollo along to the dinners hosted at his place.

They became Especially Awkward when Helios and Selene were still around because then Boreas would have to deal with Helios's Dad Instincts kicking in and staring him down.

(Helios is Boreas's uncle btw!)

(I have a Boreas thing planned in my Helios fic eheheheh. It's funny, don't panic)

And whenever Apollo pops in the visit Eos about light-related things or Astraeus (Eos & Astraeus are the winds' parents) it Still Is Awkward because Zephyrus just. BOLTS out of the room.

He is simultaneously Gay For and Terrified of Apollo.

Also if Asteria tags along with Apollo (because she is shooting stars/night prophecy and Astraeus is dusk/stars) she gives Zephyrus The Death Stare.

He is equally terrified of her, minus the horny.

Cupid/Eros, eh?

...are you in the Discord by chance? Because the fellows I mentioned previously and I have also discussed this👀

We get Boreas in my next fic, btw! :D No ApolloXBoreas, sadly, but I do have plans on incorporating them into a fic!

Perhaps my revolution fic, because I am getting Ideas concerning Boreas, Apollo, and Koios... >:3
