something about being set up for failure from the beginning resulting in constant and consistent failure indefinitely. percy fighting against the curse of being a forbidden child and the prophecy to live past 16 while also fighting the curse from his mortal life to make something of himself and be someone worthy of recognition, love, respect, humanity. his teachers writing him off on first glance and believing he’ll never make anything of himself so they never teach him anything, they never extend him that grace or patience. percy fighting against a prophecy of the divine world and a self fulfilling prophecy of the mortal world that both spell out his demise and failure.

canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana

a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.

an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.

fanon is the general fandom’s accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.
