People talk about how “overpowered” and freaky some of the physical feats in PJO and HOO are but I think people forget that all demigods inherently have enhanced, speed, agility, and strength. So at lot of these physical feats actually make a lot of sense in their “power scaling.”
And I know a lot of people like talk about the Lois Arc jump because that is insane but there are a lot of other feats that show off the enhanced attributes some of the other demigods have.
Like, Hazel ran after a Arion, the fastest horse alive for a WHOLE day. Hours upon hours on end. And even if Arion WASN’T the fastest horse he’s still. A horse. That Hazel was able to keep up with. And then run all the way home.
Reyna EASILY knocks away giant werewolves with a knife and used her javelin like a pole vault. Annabeth managed to fight Kronos, a whole ass Titan, to a standstill. And she’s been shown to perform moves only professional acrobatic and gymnast can do. Piper threw a fifty pound shield at Medea and was described to move fast as a viper.
Jason had dodged arrows that have appeared out of no where, no warning, and Percy has side stepped bullets. BULLETS.
Not to mention that with the Lycaon and werewolves they were all out running and keeping up with WOLVES.
So, yeah, demigods have freaky physical feats.

It's actually insane how Rachel Elizabeth Dare's gender completely changed how the fandom views her.Like an autistic-coded artist who was the protag's 'What could've been' and has a abusive rich dad so they turned to activism and refusing to conform despite their tragic outcast status due to their otherworldy powers they didn't get an explanation for until they were 14?Make Rachel a dude instead and they would've been your average tumblr sexyman but Rick had them be a girl and now they've been branded a femcel over a guy they canonically dumped that ended up dating a butch comphet lesbian they've convinced themselves somehow likes men because they don't know what a queer woman is or what friends who are consistently nice to eachother are

she's seen the little rosary he has. sometimes she wonders if either of them have ever been this vulnerable they have with other people. in her case, there was no one to be vulnerable to. only birds beating their wings against a cage ( one of the final things she did before leaving was freeing them -- if she was running away, it was only right they also got to be free ). sometimes, johanna would see him waiting at a distance after church ended for her. sometimes, she braved a little wave his way. other times she simply sent him a smile meant for his eyes only. riff knew every well of her own religion, yet he shared that little part of himself with her. a little vulnerability.
it's foolish how she assumed it would be so simple. get to ireland, find somewhere to settle down, find jobs, get married. so far, looking a job has been easier for her in her state than hearing an officiant pronounce them husband and wife. she hasn't even found one yet.
❝ first -- what? ❞ communion? consumption? consummation? oh dear, she hopes it isn't the last one. johanna leans back into the wall. there's little sitting space in the place they found. she's sitting on the bed, uncharacteristically slouching. ❝ can't i just be baptized and then we can get married? ❞ the baptism is only for official reasons. johanna can't imagine herself truly converting to catholicism. she's always been an angelican, mentally she would die one as well.
most of all, she can't imagine why their potential marriage wouldn't even be considered legal from her side -- just hers -- simply because she's never been baptized into the main religion in this country. it must be how riff felt in england.
she reaches for his hand. ❝ how long will it take? we only have a few more months before . . . ❞ before they find out if the child she's carrying if riff's or his. ❝ i don't want people to talk. not about them. we need to be married. ❞ if her hair was still long enough, johanna would've started playing with it. technically, it isn't so short, but no one ever claimed she wasn't dramatic. ❝ i know they talk less here, but what if he finds out? ❞

"Teach me something" Achara smiled over at Chase, she was terrible at sports and couldn't even make it on the cheer team either because of her lack of rhythm and the fact she may as well have two left feet. "What sport is it that you play again? You do like home runs and stuff?"

Decided to only pick out my top 10 favorites. (Which was hard)
And in no particular order.
This is such a fantastic mix!
I've posted this one more than once but it really is an all-time favourite.
