Man, it's wild how badly people have misunderstood the Medusa myth. It drives me wild that people keep getting tattoos of her, and it's now synonymous with protecting SA victims despite the fact that TUMBLR MADE THAT SHIT UP.

Long winded Rant/Explanation below:

Basically, in the original myth—Medusa was always a monster. She always had snakes for hair and the power to turn people to stone.

(BTW, Medusa has wings. That's why Pegasus is a winged horse. I feel like not enough people acknowledge this—)

She was not cursed nor punished—she and the other Gordon sisters just... looked like that because they were the daughters of ocean deities.

She was pregnant at the time of her slaying, hence why Pegasus, her baby, pops out when she is killed.

Now—her pregnancy is never explained in the original myth. She just is, and this was fine because Medusa overall is actually closely meant to be symbolic of a figure of fertility. That's why her hair being a twisting mess of snakes and her accessories being snake themed is important. Tangled up snakes are a symbol of fertility (if you don't know why, it's cause that's how snakes mate).

Perseus killing her is very symbolic of and mirrors the fact that by successfully killing Medusa, he saved his mother from being SA'd by the king. This is also why her depiction shifts from being a monster to being a beautiful woman. It better emphasized that she is meant to be a symbol of fertility—and her beauty goes on to become a very intentional narrative.

Medusa being beautiful places her in a more sympathetic light and is meant to display how victimizing women hurts everyone. Medusa is killed in her sleep and Perseus is a coward who can not bring himself to hurt Medusa head on but has to in order to save his mother, and Medusa is a beautiful woman who is harmed by the King's Greed. No one really wins.

Of course—the sleeping version wasn't as popular because it makes Perseus seem not like a clever hero. Hence, most people are familiar with the versions where he kills her with the mirrored shield. I prefer the sleeping version because it's from a narrative meant to be more woman-sympathetic.

ANYWAY.

The popular modern notion of Medusa as a symbol of SA that was made up on tumblr acrually combines the misogynistic Roman version and the more woman-sympathetic Greek version.

See, there's actually NO version where Medusa was SA'd.

The closest we have was a version written by a roman man named Ovid—Ovid hated nothing more than women.

He (and much of the Romans tbh) HATED the notion of an unwed mother. So, in his version, he writes that Medusa was a beautiful woman who had consensual sex with Poseidon and is punished for defiling a temple. This version is meant to make her punishment justified. She's punished by being transformed into a monster—her hair is made into snakes, and she is no longer allowed to look at men, turning them to stone. A punishment for her promiscuousity (note: Medusa only turns men to stone, btw. This is a whole allegory about ~ dangerous whorish women ~ who bring men down). This is entirely meant to be a reasonable and justified punishment—and her death is also meant to be a justified and reasonable punishment.

The interpretation of her being SA'd comes from a mish-mash of the Greek and Roman versions—where Medusa is supposed to be a victim in the Greek version but a whore in the Roman one. So you end up with... a story where an SA victim is punished for being SA'd.

And that story, which is VERY modern and VERY recent—like it popped up during the 80s and 90s—is the one everyone keeps repeating.

I hate it.

You know, if there’s a Death of the Author wherein fans take from the original content what they want rather than what the creator intended, there should also be a Suicide of the Author where the the creator can create stuff with their characters just for the fun of it without it being treated as some secretly canon lore

munch will on the brain again :((((((((

nsfw under the cut

this man is not satisfied until your thighs are squeezing the sides of his head and you’re sobbing and convulsing. even then, still going until you’re nearly fighting him off. he just loves overstimulating you :(((( you taste so fucking sweet and good and he cant get enough :(((((

“cmon- just one more? please petal? you can do it baby.”

“so fuckin’ pretty, this all for me?”

“my pretty flower. tastes so fuckin’ good.” and proceeds to lap at your hole

he slaps your cunt a lot bit too :((( he loves how your hips and legs twitch cause of it. toys with your clit and practically sucks the life out of it just to hear you whine :((((( holds your thighs down so you can’t squirm away and runs his tongue thru your folds repeatedly until you’re just a blubbering mess :(((((((

maybe even (definitely does) hooks a few fingers into you and sinks them in so so slowly just cause he likes seeing the tattoos slowly disappear inside you :((((( the lower half of his face is soaked but its okay cause you just taste so fucking good that he can’t possibly get enough.

oh my GOD he loses his mind when you tug and pull at his curls :((( he out right moans into you like a slut when you pull a little harder than usual. keep doing that and he just might cum in his sweats. (he definitely will btw)

It's so very important to me that when people throw around the terms TME and TMA that they understand that TMA =/= only transfeminine people.

The terms TMA and TME were created to because AGAB doesn't fully cover the lived experiences of the variety of trans, nonbinary, and intersex people. It's explicitly NOT meant to be AMAB = TMA and AFAB = TME. Not everyone AMAB who is nonbinary is transfeminine. Nonbinary people of any AGAB can be targeted by transmisogyny depending on their transitioning experience. Intersex people don't have to be CAMAB to be targeted by transmisogyny.

And that's not even broaching how race and transphobia intersect.

I am #1 Barnaby defender but bro this is so your fault for saying that shit

[ikarwawa]

OP have you considered you're just assuming these historical third genders are AMABs?

Cause I'm indigenous and our historical third gender's most famous examples are all AFAB warriors.

There are plenty of third genders where AGAB is never clearly established, but white (cis male) historians simply assumed they were all AMAB.

whenever i look into cultural/historical third genders my first question is always "okay but where are the people who were assigned female" and my second is "if they aren't being named, why is that?"

The D&D movie isn't a campaign, it isn't players playing a game or a DM making a world—the D&D movie is actually (technically) a biopic for current events in the Forgotten Realms setting and I think that's even funnier. I think more people need to have this consideration when it comes to their future games.

watched the d&d movie, fully convinced that forge was a player character the whole time and his player thought it would be fun to do a whole betrayal arc and everyone thought it was cool at first but at a certain point they were like “dude are you seriously gonna spend the rest of the campaign at a castle evilly plotting with the bbeg?” and at that point they knew they had to double down and spend the rest of the campaign at a castle evilly plotting with the bbeg

[abiomens]

thinkin about :(

nicky finger fucking you so good that it feels too much so you squeeze your thighs around his arm and try to squirm away :(( but he just holds one of them down and tells you to be good and take it :((( how he slows down so you grind your hips down against his hand to get some friction but he teases and mocks you for it :((((

“weren’t you just whining about it being too much? fuckin’ slut.” and a slap to your cunt

“you can take it honey, be good for me, yeah?”

I really wish people would be more mindful of the fact that they're repeating and posting SWANA Pogrom Denial under the guise of being pro-Palestine.

It's not stopping me from going to protests and doing my part to try and end the illegal apartheid state of Israel but it's exhausting to everyday be forced to interact with content outright denying the genocides that happened to my people and family. When Egypt genocided us and forced my grandparents to flee—they came to the US out of protest of the creation of Israel and as shitty as the US is, I'm deeply thankful that they did.

But many Jewish communities in SWANA had to make a choice between death, permanent imprisonment, giving up their faith and culture, or fleeing to Israel.

Israel is as expansive as it is now as a consequence of the multiple genocides SWANA committed following WW2. That's what allowed them to create the image of a "safe haven" for Jewish people. That's why nearly 40% of Israel is Arab. That's why Israel has staked a claim on so much SWANA culture.

So for these nations that bathed themselves in the blood of their native Jewish populations—it's so... off-putting? To see them attempt to chastise anyone for supporting Genocide.

Where are your Jews, Egypt? Where are your Jews, Lebanon?

Where are they?
