anyone else find it funny that reyna ramirez-arellano is canonically the ultimate Horse Girl
Sorry for coming for you, babe. We're just too similar.
One of my favorite variations on the “Justice League Meets the Batfam” trope is the one where Dick, as Nightwing, joins the Justice League and makes Bruce suffer for it. Nightwing is unaffiliated with Batman so for all anyone knows Nightwing at most someone copying Batman’s philosophy in the neighboring city. More likely neither of them have ever spoken before. Bruce has to pretend like he doesn’t know His Son who is running around with the League. Dick is having a grand ole time being just a liiiiitle too familiar with Batman, not enough to blow their covers immediately but enough to make people confused and Bruce grumpy. Everyone thinks Batman is in the process of literally planning the murder of their new team member meanwhile Dick is in the Batcave getting yelled at about secret identities. He is clearly not listening to the lecture. Steph is behind Bruce mimicking his speech and acting innocent whenever he turns around. It’s great.
Just ordered my first binder. This is terrifying
I'm gonna need to find somewhere to hide it once it gets here.
But I'm sooooo excited :D
Wish me luck

Clown gets really confused whenever someone shows him basic kindness, you can see the gears turning as he tries to figure out what this means and takes a while to just process what's happening
(I'm projecting but that's okay)

You know you're overstimulated when you're about to start crying over your pillows being at the wrong angle to sleep.
Ok but just imagine young Reyna rising up in the rank in New Rome…
-Once she gets there she is placed into the First Cohort and in her first War Game both her natural leadership and natural fighting skills are displayed.
-Everyone is a bit shocked at her skill, since they haven’t seen a demigod with those types of leadership skills in years.
-It is soon learned, however, that not everything comes naturally because the other campers soon learn that Reyna sneaks off in the middle of the night to train for hours.
-Sometimes she practices with a sword, other times a knife, but regardless of what weapon she wields, she always chants to herself “I can get better, I must be able to protect myself and others.”
-Campers soon respect her, and some even fear her. Though she is not necessarily friends with anyone, it is clear that Reyna is a good person.
-It is no surprise that when one of the Praetor dies, Reyna is elected.
-Though she is young, she is not foolish like many believe someone of her age to be. She shows that she is thoughtful, but can make split decisions when need be.
-Especially in her early days as a Praetor, she spends a lot of time reading and doing paperwork and her abscence in meals is noticed.
-The one thing that she always shows up for, no matter what, however, is War Games, the rare time where the Camp is able to see having something that resembles fun.
-That is why, even though it feels like you are in the military if you are on Reyna’s team, and might be scared to death, it’s all worth it, because it feels like you’re finally able to give back to the Praetor that gives you so much.
Just saying I might add stuff onto this later and I encourage you guys to as well!

Even if Xisuma makes sure the other Hermits don't push themselves too hard, Xisuma himself does. Luckily, Keralis has the uncanny ability to know if his boyfriend has been working too hard.
It’s like a spider sense. Sometimes Bdubs or Tango will hear him bolt upright and fly away in the middle of the night because Sashwam is still awake, and he needs cuddles.
