doing canon rereading and daring to look up fanfiction | canon is olympos

[godtellsnolies]

Just what exactly do you think you're reading?? To think anyone would have me say such..... Such cliche mortal words! Don't get any ideas for those applications of yours, do you understand? I will not have you adding frivolous traits to my personality! Hasn't your kind butchered everything about me enough throughout your history? Clearly there are no depths that your lies won't sink to.

Ugh. I'm honestly not so sure that I can stomach anything  you're planning. Your ideas of "interesting" are as annoying as something Hades would come up with.

...you need someone who can understand your feelings that badly?

[godtellsnolies]

I don't need you to understand me! I'm simply pointing out that we're similar... Whether you want to admit it or not, it's the truth.

[nostride]

If someone's lording over you, you're not a god anymore.

If you're not a god, you might lie.

[godtellsnolies]

Whether or not I have this "Mundane" around, I'm still a god and I don't lie. It annoys me to keep repeating this.

[nostride]

What sort of god has someone who tells them what to do, what to say and what to think?

[godtellsnolies]

Well what sort of prince has someone who does the same? What happened to your treasured mortal "free will"?

[nostride]

...I've always believed in a higher being. It just so happens that you're nothing like what's expected of you. Actually, you're very much underwhelming.

[godtellsnolies]

Who's underwhelming now?? And it's not my fault that your kind made up so many falsehoods about me!

[nostride]

Bickering... isn't that sort of thing ungodlike as well?

[godtellsnolies]

You don't get to decide that sort of thing.

[nostride]

Shouldn't the mortals who perceive you say so? You're their god, after all. In the end, "how Apollo is" belongs far more to me than it does to you.

[godtellsnolies]

Maybe in your imaginations you can perceive us gods however you want- even if I dislike it I have no direct control over it- but that won't change how I actually "am". How I am before you right now is the truth of "how Apollo is" and that is all... I do not alter myself to suit your whims.

You're being awfully presumptuous, but I can't say that your thinking isn't interesting.

[nostride]

...if you were a god, wouldn't it be easier to just change my way of thinking until it suited you?

[godtellsnolies]

Is there some myth that I can control your thoughts or emotions? Don't be ridiculous. And I hardly care enough about how every single human views me to waste the time fiddling around in your heads.

Plus, I like your personality, it's why I picked you... So I would never change the way you think. You would be boring then.

[nostride]

It's unfortunate. Ignorant as I was of your of your true personality, you probably would have been the god I would have chosen too, back then.

[godtellsnolies]

Oh I'm aware... I listened to a lot of those times you prayed to me, you know. And I also am aware that despite how much of a fight you put up, you don't completely hate me.

[nostride]

...you're certain?

[godtellsnolies]

I can say it, so it's the truth.

[nostride]

No, no! It seemed to my ear as if you stumbled over the words a little.

[godtellsnolies]

I don't recall stumbling over anything.

[nostride]

As it happens, you're not the god of memory.

[godtellsnolies]

I never said I was.
