Board Thread:The Trials of Apollo/@comment-35147935-20180504103845/@comment-35684540-20180606124449

 Calypso had some children in greek mythology but Rick Riordan don't talk about it .

I know. But as you said, Riordan literally changed this in his books. I mean Riordan changed so many things about Calypso so she had no children with anyone. Unlike Apollo, who has/had a lot of children in the Riordan's books as well as in the myths.

there's no evidence of Apollo cheating anyone, just dating lots of people but not at the same time at least in that i read sorry if I'm mistaken.

I didn't particularly mean cheating; I'm saying Apollo is a god. (even if he is a mortal now, his character didn't change that much.) He loves people, but after some time passed, he goes to another. That's just it.

And...Apollo didn't cheat? He was literally one of the most flirtatious gods in the Grecian myths. According to Greek style dating, I'm pretty sure Apollo didn't care about dating with mortals at the same time, but my point is; If he and Reyna starts dating, Apollo eventually get bored and goes another person, and in the end Reyna will be the one who is heartbroken.

but in my opinion a relationship don't need to last to be good.

No, it isn't. I agree. But if Reyna and Apollo starts dating, Reyna just eventually become one of the Apollo's another love interests. She will be heartbroken eventually.

We see the gods and their lovers in tragic stories so much that we forget there are some that had a good relationship with good memories.

...And? It's still doesn't change the fact that Reyna will be eventually heartbroken. Even if she and Apollo have some good times together, Apollo eventually goes to another person.

Relationships end all the time, it's part of life.

I'm not even talking that their relationship continue forever. In my earlier posts, I literally said that the relationships not continue forever, because it's life.

But when it comes to a thousand+ years old god who just turned into a mortal, (and who will become a god again; because that's the rules: Olympians's number has to be 12, so Apollo can not stay as mortal for a long time, he eventually will become a god again.) and who had thousands of children, who is not so much a loyal type and who will eventually goes to the another person starts dating with a teenage girl named Reyna, that who finally and just overcome her heartbreak and finally got over her pain? No...just no.

 I ship Reyna and Apollo because i think they have personalities that match and they could create good memories together even in a short time but that's my opinion.

So, it doesn't matter then? Even if Reyna eventually becomes one of the Apollo's love interest and she will be heartbroken? And...how is Apollo and Reyna's personalities match? Apollo is just an another guy who is handsome, charming and shining like... you know; exactly like Jason and Percy, the guys who broke Reyna's heart.

'' And again the Apollo that we read about is a version created by Rick Riordan, the same person who take Calypso out of her island. ''

Riordan did change somethings about Apollo, but not as much as he did change about Calypso- like you said; Riordan changed Calypso's actual personality in the myths, he did even change and add that 'curse' thing, he changed Calypso into a teenager- even if she isn't exactly like that. She is a goddess and had children with Odysseus in the myths, but Riordan changed this too. But, Yyou can not say that much a level of changing about Apollo's past, character and personality.

and put Sadie in a relationship with a god and a mortal in the same body.

Ugh... no. Do not remind me that thing, that was so freaking terrible. I've read so many YA books but this level of annoyance and executing the romance-triangle is not even I can take. I gave my half of the life for the suck YA romances, and that was one of the biggest trashes I've ever read.

Seeing this way Apollo and Reyna doesn't seem so impossible for me.

Bite me.
