i'm such a big fan of those "demigods don't seem quite human" headcanons and honestly i feel like it's the most prevalent in the kane chronicles. not just like because they actually channel gods for their magic but because they're so much more established and isolated than the other mythological socieities.

also can you just picture it? carter's eyes tend to spark gold when he shakes hands with someone, almost as if he's used to meeting with important people and sizing up their worth. it's almost hard for normal mortals to look directly at zia, almost as difficult as looking directly at the sun. magic comes at such a second nature to sadie that things seem to fix themselves or get stronger just as she steps closer. walt exudes an air of death that makes even the healthiest people wonder when it is coming for them. even the minor characters don't seem quite human. cleo knows things no one should, the earth shapes around alyssa's feet, julian always seems to see five steps ahead in every sports game, the air temperature drops a few degrees when felix enters a room, minor cuts and bruises go away with a single touch of jazz's hand. people around them know there's something otherworldly about them, but no one can figure out what exactly it is.
