Medusa as a goddess headcanons

She is the Goddess of victims (thank you, @rey-diem )

Out of all the gods, she is very rebellious and defiant against Zeus and those who follow him.

She didn't immediately become a goddess, but after a long time of self-healing and such, godhood was bestowed upon her

She has a strong hatred for Poseidon and Athena. She also feels sorry for their mortal victims who have caught their attention (same for the mortal victims who have suffered the hands of the other gods)

Medusa would be a maiden Goddess, and her sisters would be at her side.

Obvious tension between Medusa and Athena

She is a hands-on interactive Goddess. She always interacts with her worshippers and her children

She's very protective of her people and children

Hates Poseidon and Athena with a passion and tries to keep her children far, FAR away from theirs

People who have a tattoo of Medusa, she protects and they are her followers

That's all. Hope you enjoy.

A tough childhood.

yes the PJO show still has some significant changes compared to the book (the whole Medusa thing) but the understanding of the characters is spot fucking on. Like the percabeth dynamic? I’m obsessed. The mf consensus song? Hilarious. Every little thing they change they give a new thing that feels so real and in character that I just appreciate we get to see it. It’s like we get to see things that we haven’t before and they’re things that are absolutely plausible and in character for the trio.

So an update each of mbfw and medusa au. Thank you. Can we expect any more blessings in the new year?

Compliments of the season to you!

When it rains it pours I guess 🥴 I did say tho that I'd been working on things simultaneously, I wasn't lying 😅

Anyway yes Medusa is probably gonna update again in January, February at the latest because the next two parts are mostly done.

Also, sidenote. I'm thinking I might just go back to focusing on one fic at a time. I think in the last 2 years this weird thing I've done of cycling through fics has kind of ended up fucking up my flow too much. I finish a chapter and then move to the next story, and then that takes time to get into the groove of it again, and then before I know it months have gone by as I piecemeal together things. I just think all this stutter stopping is killing my drive whereas before I'd focus on one fic and keep moving in it and it'd be done, then on to the next. I think I need to get back to that place. Which I know means even more wait time for other wips, but I think in the end letting myself just move through one story at a time will actually make the updates faster like they were before. If that makes sense.

Anyway I'm rambling in fucking text form but that's a long way of saying, yes, expect a more steady stream of updates (hopefully)

My Brilliant Friend // The Story of the Lost Child

[just-1-scorpio]

Everytime someone writes Perseus as a arogant jerk, who killed Medusa for glory, seperet him from Andromeda, potray them in an unhappy marrige, ereases Danae or Andromeda and they trauma, ereases Euryale and Stheno, or show Polydectes and Phineus is a good light in anything, an angle loses it's wings.

y’all headcanoning poseidon as purposefully sending medusa’s head back to sender knowing gabe would open it is like. entirely missing the point of sally jackson’s character and also SO fucked up if it was poseidon?? who used medusa’s head to kill an asshole man?? like!! what the fuck! not to mention sally jackson?? ms. sally jackson? who kills her abusive husband? who on multiple occasions rejected the help of the man who is both a god and her former lover bc she wants to build her life herself—? and who does it? “if my life is to mean anything, i have to live it myself.” those are sally jackson’s words. the abuse itself was already incredibly watered down in the show and that is upsetting. to have gabe accidentally kill himself because he’s a bumbling idiot waters down her agency against her abuse and is even more so upsetting. to have not just a man but a literal god kill her husband for her is so. do you not see how that’s even worse. and then add in that god being poseidon and the method of murder is medusa’s head? i don’t even have words to articulate it, just—

no matter how you cut it, narratively you only disrespect and degrade sally when gabe’s life is taken by any hand that isn’t hers, and having that hand be poseidon’s is just wild.

Medusa cabin headcanons

The aphrodite cabin are jealous of Medusa's children because they inherited their mother's beauty.

They dislike Poseidon and Athena cabin, but oddly enough, they tolerate the Pegasai.

They don't like being touched without their permission, so if you touch them out of nowhere without their consent, it won't end well

They have great manners, are respectful, and believe in consent. If the new members of their cabin dont have any mannerism, then the members of Medusa's cabin will teach them (Some people see that as old fashioned, but they don't care)

Both the girls and the boys of Medusa cabin are respectful to one another and respect each other's boundaries. But they still act like typical siblings.

Self defense is a must in Medusa cabin considering the curse on them due to Zeus (F u Zeus 🖕)

The Medusa cabin doesn't trust so easily except when it's their siblings. So if they trust you, it's considered a HUGE honor. Same thing when they're in love.

When it comes to romantic relationships, they fall hard, they give their heart and soul into it. So you better cherish that.

They are incredibly devoted and loyal. They would never leave you and they would stick by you through thick and thin.

They can't swim due to their fear of water.

They would be able to recognize when someone is trying to push them away.

Best friends with Hades cabin, maybe Hephaestus and Apollo cabin

Since their mother was considered a monster for a time, the kids sometimes make friends with some of the monsters from their mythology similar to Hephaestus

They sense people who have their mother's tattoo

They may look scary on the inside but they are actually very nice

They like animals more than actual people

Hate animal abuse with a strong passion

Can detect when someone is lying to them

Their hair snakes talk to them.....a lot

Hates bullies, and people who disrespect their mother or those that are different.

Hates Zeus, Athena, and Poseidon with a strong passion

They prefer to hear two sides of the story before making assumptions

They don't like people who make false claims about assault of any kind. (It's not a joke and it's not funny.)

They respect loyal partners whether it's in a team, friendship or a relationship of any kind.

Like their mother, they are defiant and will always look for another way in a life and death situation.

Enjoy you guys

THE MINOTAUR in ASSASSIN'S CREED ODYSSEY dev. Ubisoft

[yourdeepestfathoms]

I was staking your ur yaelokre tag and I swa you were a published author and???????????? Would you mind me asking what exactly you published? (Infodumping encouraged!)

i’ve only got one published book out right now, which was done through self-publishing on Amazon, but i’ve sent two of my three manuscripts off to two different publishing companies to hopefully get them picked up and published! fingers crossed!!

my current book out is called Servant of Evil! it’s a historical fiction tragedy about the Salem Witch Trials, told from the perspective of one of the afflicted girls, Mary Warren. it details her involvement in the trials and how it rapidly tore the town of Salem apart, as well as detailing her slow descent into despair as the overwhelming guilt of her actions rips at her mental state.

the story is very grim and had me crying on several occasions, and i’m the author!

i wrote the book because i was hyperfixated on the Salem Witch Trials, which started when i was a junior in high school when we read The Crucible. however, it wasn’t until a year later that i actually started to do something with said fixation, as my mom took me to Salem for a graduation and 18th birthday gift, which reignited my passion for the event and got me writing! SoE was finished within two months, but it wasn’t actually published until January 2023.

here she is!

if you wanna buy the book, you can get it here!

do be warned, though, as the book is very heavy and covers a lot of serious subjects such as: self harm, suicide, sexual assault, abuse, and torture.

my other three finished manuscripts are:

Medusa’s Child, a three-part historical fiction series about Medusa raising a human child named Theodora (Teddi for short), who goes on to avenge her when she’s killed by Perseus. i have another account sharing details about the books: @mommy-medusa! (this is the one i sent to a publisher!)

Fog Makes People, a psychological horror-thriller duology about a fictional town called Lochmere that is haunted by a strange fog that causes people to go missing. sixteen-year-old Beatrice “Bee” Lamb is returning to Lochmere after spending some time away with cousins due to constant harassment from the community. she was the sole survivor of a fire at school that killed nine other kids, eight of which didn’t die from the fire itself but rather from being taken by whatever is in the fog. however, the night of her return, she begins to get texts from one of the fire victims, and she starts to realize that maybe the people who go missing in the fog aren’t actually dead. this send her down a rabbit hole where she desperately tries to save her friends, which is difficult in and of itself, but things get even more complicated when she officially discovers and subsequently meets the mastermind behind it all: an enigmatic, horrific creature known as the Rorschach. (this is the other one that’s been sent to a publishing company!) (this one is my favorite, i’ve spent so long developing it.)

and Hell or High Water, a survival horror-splatter punk set on a cruise ship called The Grey Palace, following a teenage girl named Violet Nicotero. this cruise ship gets hijacked by some maniacs and stranded out in the middle of the ocean, where the passengers are slowly picked off by these mask-wearing freaks. (i hate this one so much. it was my first ever book written, and it was supposed to be my debut novel, but i started to resent the whole thing after editing it so many times. i got too frustrated with it, so i put it aside to work on SoE instead, and it’s been in timeout for about two years now ever since.)

they’re all my babies, and i hope to get them all out in the world one day, including all my works currently in development hell!

I created my own medusa

head of snakes - body of scars

she turns people to stone, while I turn them away

Medusa is this how you felt,

alone with the sculptures?

for I am haunted by the things of my past, they used to be porcelain figures.

but these shards of them are tearing into my skin.

who will my persus arrive to be? to torment this scarred body. nephew of my assaulter, will you be deemed a hero?

They are shaking like a chihuahua but that's ok

If you loved the PJO show representation of Medusa I HIGHLY recommend reading Athena’s Child by Hannah Lynn.
