Apollogists - Tumblr Posts
After being gifted with the sun and moon domain, the twins soon found out that obtaining such gifts will make a part of their features change to represent each of their new domain. While Artemis’s hair now resembles the night sky on a full moon, Apollo’s hair now has a orangey hue that resembles the sky when the sun rises on an early morning. (just a small design of Apollo that I have been thinking about but never really properly drew it)
A fanart of Apollo inspired by @asunnydreamer fanfic, Down to The Pit (and some of their other fanfics) ^_^
No String version because I couldn’t choose.
God of Plagues
Ok, so recently I like the idea of Apollo having an alternate form when he is the god of plague. A small design and sketch I did for the design of apollo in his god of plague form :D
Fun Fact, before Hades 2 trailer came out, I did a few designs of what Apollo would look like. After brainstorming with my sis (who also plays Hades), I decided with this design and make Apollo have a quest.
So, after reuniting the Olympians, Zagreus would enter a fountain room in Asphodel where he met a god named Apollo. Apollo here would give you 3 choices of healing bonuses (regen, double health, etc). After meeting him a few times and giving him nectars, Apollo would slowly opens up and Zagreus finds out why he was in the underworld. Apparently, his powers of the plagues were getting unstable, and Zeus secretly sends him there since it was away from all living things.
After telling Hades and with the permission of Persephone, Zagreus plans brings Apollo to the cottage when he mentioned of missing the sunrise (with the promise of staying away from any living organics.) However, Apollo was hesitance, saying that he was worried that his family are trying to find him only to find the room empty. From there, Apollo would stay in the fountain room until certain tasks have been fulfilled.
full hearts with Hermes, Dionysus and Artemis: Hermes will give Zagreus a harp to give it to Apollo with a message saying that they missed him. When Zagreus gives him the harp, Apollo will get angry. (remember, his emotions are still unstable at the time)
“Why?! Why go all the trouble of helping another god escaped when they could’ve helped me?!” - Apollo
Apollo will then accept Zagreus’s offer to go to the cottage. He will then give him a cow plush named ‘Mimi’. Apollo explained that he has placed his essence inside the plush and all he needs to do is bring it to the cottage and he might be able use it as a waymark. During the travel, Zagreus can now call Apollo for help 3 times.
“The essence inside the plush is only enough for me to teleport outside the Underworld, use it wisely Zagreus.” - Apollo
Apollo’s Legendary Keepsakes: If Zagreus’s health is above 50%, Apollo will go into offensive. However, if Zagreus’s health is below 50%, Apollo will go into defensive.
After bringing Apollo towards the cottage, Zagreus was about to give the plush back when Apollo told him to keep it. Saying that if he ever needs helped, he knew who to call.
Unlock excess to the Cottage and interreact with Apollo
After that, whenever you encounter Artemis, Dionysus, or Hermes, they would ask questions regarding Apollo and Zagreus will act clueless through the whole thing. After encountering Artemis, Dionysus, and Hermes a few more times, a specific dialogue will trigger where Zagreus learns the other side of the conversation. Apparently, there is a misunderstanding and it’s up to Zagreus to help the four gods.
Unlock the quest, “Reunite the Siblings”
After using Apollo’s call 20 times: Apollo will suddenly change apperance, and his tittle will change to the ‘God of Healing’.
With Apollo’s mindset back to normal and more controlled, Zagreus consults him about what he learned from the 3 gods and what really happening. After listening to him, Apollo will admit to missing his siblings and wishes to return to reunite with them.
If you have Hermes, Dionysus and Artemis boons only along with Apollo’s Keepsakes you will unlock a secret boss fight with Zeus who tries to stop you from fully freeing Apollo.
After defeating Zeus and reuniting the siblings, Zagreus will gain special duo boons between Apollo and in between Artemis, Dionysus, or Hermes. From then on, whenever Zagreus enters the cottage, you could see Apollo talking with either Artemis, Dionysus or Hermes and sometimes all three.
also, whenever Zagreus gets a Zeus boon, he will try to hide his annoyance (since he knew what the god had done to his own son).
So yeah, that was the ideas that I have done for this AU ^^
Shattered Image
A sort of HC or AU for my version of Apollo in Hades.
Drew this literally a few weeks before they announced Hades 2, who knew :P
Phoebus
I was watching a video by Overly Sarcastic Productions about Artemis and Apollo... and it kinda got me inspired to do a design on Roman Apollo ^^;
AU where Apollo joined Kronos after Zeus imprisoned him as a punishment (based on this post AU I did years ago)
I wanted to make his design look mysterious but have a hint of something powerful underneath (like being pissed at Zeus) Also here's his form during the fight in New York.
I made his hair wing like to represent his patron bird, the swan (which I found out is considered a symbol of harmony and beauty).
Also, I gave him horns is because I was inspired by some AUs where the twins have horns because of their Titan side.
Sooooooooooooo...... I've been reading too many of those time travel/regression manhwas, so here's an idea of an AU that I've been daydreaming about :P Basically:
Apollo died in the future by the hands of Zeus’s paranoia.
Apollo woke up in his younger body, after the defeat of Python.
Determined to survive and rewrite his future fate, he decided to cut ties early with Olympus. At the time, he could only think of one place where no other gods would go, The Underworld.
Secretly, he traveled there and confronted a hooded man, who revealed himself as Hades.
To Hades surprised, Apollo demanded that he take him in.
From here its basically follows the usual manhwa trope.
Hades slowly learns to raise Apollo while also teaching him responsibilities of a god.
While Apollo is trying to get away from the attention of Olympus.
He did eventually told Leto about his plan. He explained that he saw a prophecy (since it's easier to explain) and he wished to change it.
While Leto was distraught by him leaving, she did understand that it was the best option. Both of them agreed that it is best to not tell Artemis and let her believe that her twin had disappeared (since I HC that she's rasher when she was young, but matured when she was older).
How the rest of the story will go... idk, but I'll come up with something as time goes on ^^;
(so far idk what to call this AU but I've been calling it The Underworld's Light or A Light in the Underworld.)
HC/AU (idk which one this goes to :P) where prophetic gods, like Phoebe, Themis and Apollo, usually have their eyes closed/covered since it helped them focus more to see through their other eyes (aka, lowkey wanted to try drawing Apollo with a more eldritch design ^^;)
"Be not afraid"
“My lord this is the sexiest moment of my life.”
(+ small doodle bcs I can't contain myself orz)
(also a none glitch version)
It was said that the sun is considered a star in our solar system. As the god of the sun, Apollo’s eyes resemble a shining star surrounded by the galaxy. Whenever he laughs or smile, the star would always shine brighter. It screams ‘Hey! I’m right here! Look at me!” and many heads would turn towards his direction. Maybe that was why he opted to wear sunglasses, an attempt to try not to draw too many attention. Because of this, his children would inherit half of his star like eyes. (Aka: an Oshi No Ko inspired AU because I just think Apollo with Ai's eyes and his kids having Ruby/Aqua's eyes looks interesting.)
