So, I've seen plenty of posts on my dash concerning Percy, his heroism, his prophecies, his involvement in them, etc etc., so I've decided to post my own conspiracy theory about the Great Prophecy and Percy's relation to it.
The Great Prophecy was not about Percy Jackson or any PJO character. This is because it was completed in HOO/TOA, thus involving characters from those series.
It was about Jason Grace and friends.
For those who forgot, the Great Prophecy goes as follows:
A half-blood of the eldest gods
Shall reach sixteen against all odds
And see the world in endless sleep
The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap
A single choice shall end his days
Olympus to preserve or raze
Let's analyze each line one by one.
A half-blood of the eldest gods
This is pretty simple. Jason is a demigod son of Jupiter, making him a half-blood of one of the eldest gods.
Shall reach sixteen against all odds
While Jason's backstory is not fully-fleshed out, at least the way I want it to be, even casual fans know that as a half-blood, especially a Big Three half-blood, Jason had it rough growing up. He was fighting countless monsters his entire life. Not only that, when he was 15, he died in TLH but was brought back to life by Piper. In addition, when he was 16, he survived The Prophecy of the Seven, one that specifically seemed to target his death. Yikes. Talk about brushes with death.
And see the world in endless sleep
Here's where things get interesting. According to the Percy Jackson Prophecy wiki, this line was completed in TLO when the entire city of Manhattan fell asleep. However, at the end of BoO, Piper defeats Gaea by sending her off to endless sleep. This seems fitting to "the world" in endless sleep because 1. Only Manhattan fell under the sleeping influence. Is it Percy's world? In a figurative sense yes, but it is not the entire world as the prophecy may suggest. 2. Gaea is literally the entire world, making BoO's ending much more authentic and fitting to the prophecy.
The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap
Jason has gotten plenty of injuries throughout HoO/TOA, so I feel like this line can apply to Jason in various ways.
The first that comes to mind is Jason's stabbing. In BoO, Jason is stabbed by Michael Varus, a demi-god of the Fifth Cohort. The cursed Fifth Cohort. As Varus is from a cursed cohort, this could also apply to his weapon, thus Jason almost dying from a cursed sword. Moreover, Juno specifically says this injury would specifically affect Jason's soul. Not his mental and/or physical state, but his soul.
The other option for this line was the actual death of Jason. This one is less interesting, as Caligula officially sends off Jason by stabbing him between the shoulder blades with a spear. While this blade does officially reap, I don't know how Caligua's spear would be cursed, so I'm going with the Varus theory.
A single choice shall end his days
Jason's wiki says he died because he choose to die defending his friends and I think it fits here.
Olympus to preserve or raze
Jason dies for Apollo. Jason died for Olympus to succeed. Literally, Jason's death allows Apollo to escape Caligula's ship, and thus Apollo eventually defeats Python, saving humanity and retaining his godhood. In addition, Jason's death also becomes a prime motivator for Apollo. Throughout most of the series, mortals' deaths don't have a measurable impact on the gods- until Jason dies. Apollo originally knew Jason as the blonde flying boy, but at the end of the series, he reflects on Jason as a hero, brother, and friend, completing the prophecy.

Earthspark Soundwave pieces I did cuz I realized I havenโt drawn him in awhile ๐ I still hold the belief that since Frenzy could wear makeup clearly so can Soundwave ๐ itโs just that he has that mask on so we never see it (also I just have a great appreciation for ES making Soundwave built like that and still giving him one of the deepest voice in the cast ๐ญ). And for the other piece that was just a random thing Iโve thought about making months ago but never doing for some reasonโฆwhatever, I just figured yknow, heโs all about loyalty and being abandoned by the one person you put all your loyalty into; I think being betrayed must hurt him like many times deeper than to some others

Primus forbid a mech be a little bit insane from their own ability and the horrors of being in a horrible institute ๐ canโt do anything in Cybertron these days. This isnโt necessarily part of my continuityโs story cuz it doesnt really have one yet so just imagine whatever story you want for this tbh. Maybe youโd get some ideas

Maybe itโs just me but tfone Arachnid really reminds me of early RID Arcee (and I was going to compare sentinel with prowl but thatโs so insulting๐คฃ)
