aww tysm!! <3

5 things i think are kinda cool about me:

My art style? I'm pretty proud o a lot of my art, even if I know i can always improve

The way I'm always working on some sort of creative project. It feels productive and keeps me sane :D

How I often try to appreciate other creators the way I'd want to be treated even though I dont expect anything in return

How I try to be a good friend, even though it's hard sometimes

My sense of humor?? I've been told I'm funny sometimes

I was rereading some of my posts from 2021 and was reminded of how much meta I used to write so imma share my crazy headcanon/ theory which i thought up as plot for a revolution fic:

RR verse is on the "Olympus will fall" timeline and Zeus' actions are speeding it up.

In the recent decade there has been several great prophecies back to back. And people have remarked how weird it is that there have been so many. What if the reason is because of Zeus?

Remember, in greek mythology there is a major theme of how Your Fate Cannot Be Defied. And Zeus, king of Olympus, has a major Fate: being overthrown. However he managed to "defy" it by eating Metis.

My idea is that he has been forcefully clawing out a future where he is still king of Olympus. By doing this, he is literally changing the flow of fate. And obviously fate wants to correct itself, so the harder he fights it, the more counterforce he triggers. All prophecies meant to lead to his overthrowing are suddenly sped up. Olympus begins to lose power. Zeus is aware of this. He is also aware how people are becoming suspicious. And he needs a scapegoat. And who better than the god of prophecy who is also a threat to the throne?

Apollo mentions that Zeus blamed him for his oracle revealing a prophecy "too early" and therefore causing it to happen early. However, everyone knows it's not possible to actually cause a prophecy to happen early...so why would Zeus even have this weird line of thought? everyone probably dismissed it as Zeus being irrational, but there a juicier theory this ties into:

Apollo being the one to overthrow Zeus.

The idea of "fall of the sun, the final verse". What if this is the final prophecy that is meant to happen before Zeus is overthrown? And what if the fall this speaks of is actually when Apollo fell close to chaos? When he pulled himself together there?

What if he reformed different from his original godly form. He was literally almost gone, his body was disintegrating. Maybe he pulled himself together using the energies of chaos. Apollo himself isn't aware of this, due to a suspicious memory gap between him clawing up from the cliff and him waking up next to Artemis.

And this adds to another headcanon of mine, the fates choose Apollo to be the god of prophecy on purpose. At first glance, this is a horrible match. If they wanted a good servant, why would they choose someone so closely tied to his heart and so likely to fight fate? Someone who dares get them drunk just to extend a human's lifespan? UNLESS... they WANT him to eventually try and defy fate??

Imagine if fate was a compass and Zeus had forcefully wrenched the needle point at a bleak dark future where Olympus falls with him. And this river direction has been set so deeply in stone and run on for so long, it has worn a grove and become the mostly likely future.

you need someone willing to fight, someone to wrench the needle out. SOMEONE FAMILAR WITH FATE AND Prophecy. Someone who has the power to fight it and win. Someone who has the will. Perhaps a baby god who was willing to fight Python, and who would have likely died there. But if he successfully did take on the powers of prophecy, one day that same godling would fight Python again, would absorb the powers of chaos to recreate himself.

Perhaps not today and maybe not even for the next four thousand years

but one day that godling would stare down at that wretched compass hand and decide to yank the flow out of its place. And maybe, that godling means a chance for Olympus to have a different future.

Anyways that's my crazy theory i hope it wasn't too confusing. It also links up with my other story theme idea about fate, hope and apollo blah blah blah, which i rambled about in a different post.

Edit: just remembered my other crazy thought, what if ZEUS PURPOSEFULLY TRIED TO GET RID OF APOLLO NOT ONLY CAUSE HE IS A THREAT TO THE THRONE BUT ALSO BECAUSE AS THE GOD OF PROPHECY HE IS MOST LIKELY TO REALIZE SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THAT ZEUS IS MESSING WITH FATE?!???? Basically pulling a imma say you're the murderer before u realise im the murderer. (i cant remember the actual saying Lmaoo)

Random scene that just popped up in my head,

Annabeth and the Argo 2 crew lost Percy in a crowd.

Piper: what are we going to do?

Annabeth: don't worry I got this.

Annabeth, screams at the top of her voice: BLUE IS THE UGLIEST COLOUR!!

Everyone: waits for Percy to show up.

Random person, screams back: HEL YEAH TELL THEM!!

Annabeth: Magnus?

Magnus: Annabeth? what are you doing here?

Annabeth: we were—

Percy: screaming from the distance, cutting her off, just screaming btw no context at all.

Percy, finally standing next to them: who the Hades just insulted blue?

Annabeth: it was me, I was trying to—

Magnus: I did it, are you implying that you are defending the ugliest colour in existence?

Percy, eyes narrowed: who's this gremlin?

Magnus: I'm nearly as tall as you, who are you calling gremlin you dimwit?

Percy: you better watch you mouth, pretty boy.

Annabeth: Percy, stop.

Magnus, also narrowing his eyes: or what, what would you do?

Percy: oh, you won't like the answer, sweetheart.

Magnus, taking a step closer to Annabeth: why are you calling me pet names? You alright, bro?

Percy, winks: oh honey, I'm perfectly fine.

Magnus: ok I'm scared, Annabeth tell your friend to stop.

Annabeth: Percy, stop flirting with my cousin!

Percy: I'm not flirting!

Magnus, speaking just before Annabeth: you know what, nice seeing you again Annabeth, I kinda have to go back to my group, hearth starts to worry when I'm late, see you around, I guess.

Poor boy just disappeares into the crowd again, traumatized probably.

Annabeth: sighs.

Percy: now before you say anything! I'll explain!!

Annabeth: Take your time. Explain.

Percy: so, yeah... umm....

Annabeth:

Percy:

Annabeth:

Percy:

Hazel, whispers in the background: what did I just witness...?

Leo, whispers back: I don't know, but the dude was cute though.

An Oxfam report, entitled Water War Crimes, finds that Israel's deliberate reduction of water access in Gaza has put civilians at under a third of the recommended minimum

Israel's cutting of the external water supply, systematic destruction of water facilities and deliberate aid obstruction have reduced the amount of water avallable in Gaza by 94%, to 4.74 liters a day per person, says Oxtam. This information has to be coupled with the fact that 97% of Gaza's water was already considered undrinkable prior to the beginning of the war in October, meaning that much of the water that people do have access to is untreated and is causing a range of health problems, including a variety of diseases.
