I found this website that says they have an account of medusa Marrying perseus, but I couldn't find the Source.. The website name is thoughtco

This had to be made by ai ain’t no way this is simply human stupidity.

Ok so I learned that ancient Egyptians put their name inscriptions on their weapons (here a spear) and I wanna know how you write “Amymone daughter of Danaus” in ancient Egyptian?

Hot take I think Athena would like basketball. It’s got physical activity and aggression but also strategy and planing, she’s tall, there’s a net and she likes weaving I guess, she’s tall can dunk on ares

Oh absolutely lol

Now I gotta wonder, if Pelops was in Lydia when he planted this Myrtle tree does that mean he didn’t even go to Greece yet? And therefore hasn’t met or even SEEN Hippodamia at that point? Yet he was still head over heels for her? Did Poseidon show Pelops a picture of Hippodamia? Perhaps as a way to cheer up Pelops after he was exiled from Lydia? So many possibilities lol

He was down BAD

Didn't know what "glory hole" means so I searched it on Google and I- 💀💀💀

Scrolled through her IG and got traumatized in the process. At this point I'm starting to despise her not only as an author but also as a person in general because there's no way this type of content AND her reactions don't say something about her more than about her characters.

How could anyone read this and NOT notice the parental undertones with how Hephaestus’s automatons needed to be taught and raised by the gods and didn’t come out of the woodwork understanding everything? That Hephaestus is like a fatherly figure to them and they support him the way adult children support their elderly parents? How can anyone read this and think Hephaestus would have a relationship with one of his automatons?

It gets ✨worse✨ somehow

""Imagine if people would start writing and publishing retellings about Jesus and Judas having a toxic yaoi relationship, or about Jesus and Mary Magdalene being a couple all this time""

I agree with you, but I'm afraid to tell you that people already do this 😭

Especially the toxic Yaoi Judas x Jesus stuff and I have actually seen Jesus being the condescendant, toxic one while Judas is a poor sad guy tragic. Because all christian/catholics bad and opressive so this is a gotcha

To add:

- Hippodamia’s cruelty towards Chrysippus would be erased if not outright justified.

- They’d make Myrtilos and Hippodamia lovers who had their romance ruined by big bad Pelops (happened with Phineus and Andromeda more than once lol)

- Pelops’s love and attraction to Hippodamia would be erased bc he only married her for political reasons or comphet.

- They’d make Hippodamia’s suitors evil perverts who had it coming and ignore that Hippodamia cared and mourned for them.

- Oenomaus is the good guy and Pelops kidnapped his daughter and made up the whole chariot race story to make himself look better.

Things that could happens 100% happen if Pelops fell into the hands of modern Greek myth retelling writers:

1. Pelops would be turned into an emotionally manipulative, controlling, and physically abusive partner to both Hippodamia and Danais, Chrysippus' mother

2. Would be depicted as an absentee or outright violent father to all his children except Chrysippus, who would be conveniently romanticized or erased depending on how problematic the retelling wants to get.

3. If Chrysippus and Laios are presented as romantic (because those writers seem to love to ignore male victims (es: Hippolytus), they would be ignoring the context of grooming and abduction), Pelops would be reimagined as violently homophobic.

4. His chariot race victory over Oenomaus would be changed in Pelops gaslighting and manipulating Hippodamia into helping him kill her own father.

5. The whole Myrtilus thing would be turned into a gay love gone wrong, casting Myrtilus as the heartbroken queer dude and Pelops as the toxic, cold-hearted "curious" straight man who couldn't deal with his feelings.

Perseus is a coward for killing a monster in her sleep even tho she can kill him just by looking at him, also he’s a coward for not killing dozens of soldiers attacking him and instead using the Gorgon’s head to defend himself and his friends. He should’ve confronted his enemies like a REAL MAN he should’ve woken up Medusa so they could have a FAIR FIGHT (nevermind that Danaë’s safety and freedom is at stake) he should’ve killed Phineus and his men in a FAIR FIGHT even tho his friends were slaughtered all around him and he’s being cornered by his enemies and had no better options. Also he shouldn’t be taking free handouts from the gods he should’ve fought his enemies with his bare hands 🙄

[sarafangirlart]

When I say that Perseus haters act like he killed their grandma I’m not exaggerating lol

[sarafangirlart]

A disturbing aspect of how writers to girlbosify Andromeda by making her a willing sacrifice is that they romanticize self-abasement and suicidal ideation. It idealizes women harming themselves for others, it’s especially weird when it’s a yt woman writing her as black.

[sarafangirlart]

Who’s gonna tell ‘em?

[sarafangirlart]

You had the perfect opportunity...

@sarafangirlart this one is for you

How could you miss the chance of putting Hera with Iris, a character she has a positive conection, for the sake of a random oc?!
