Hii I was writing a response but it got way to long winded so its here if you still want to read it: https://www.tumblr.com/worlds-oldest-teenager/719482151699185664/why-i-think-apollo-is-the-golden-child-and-not-the?source=share
(sorry this is my unused main account and idk how to make those nice looking links)
Omg adding on to Meg and Apollo being the golden child ™. Idk how canon it is cause it's been years since I read the books but Nero's adopted abducted children are all sort of replacements for the Olympians right? Is Meg supposed to be Apollo's replacement? Cause it would be so messed up if Nero purposely raised her how Apollo was raised to cultivate the perfect Apollo or whatever.
It's very crack theory. Nero probably was like that to Meg cause abusers just be like that. Also he's so dramatic he would love to get a little child of apollo and it would be so much easier to turn a child on their absent father than a random child of another god. Unless Apollo is such a good father he'd notice they got abducted immediately so they had to go with another child. Nero and Caligula especially want to replace Apollo with themselves so idek man.
However it opens up a bunch of super funny stuff. Like Nero thinks a better Apollo is just someone with all his trauma, who talks less and has the ability to swordfight?
Where did he even get this inside info on Apollo's traumatic childhood? I'll tell you where: From Commodus. He probably couldn't resist shit talking his ex to Nero who took it all as parenting lessons.
Commodus: And then he was saying, "No, Commodus the bolts did it to me. My father would never hurt me." How stupid do you have to be to think an inanimate object is abusing you?
Nero, writing furiously: Manipulate child into viewing you and your abuse as two separate people.
"bluntly honest" autism but in the sense that i absolutely cannot refrain from complimenting strangers if i like their earrings or their shirt or i think they have a friendly-sounding laugh or i think their art is beautiful or i think the fic they wrote portrays the characters so well. "bluntly honest" doesn't have to mean "mean". i love to tell people things that are kind and also true.
