HEY IM BACK
Haven't posted here for a while cause l kind of forgot this account but l have been thinking about Medea and Jason and their play again and U G H I love them so l drew Medea because she's a more complex and realistic character than all the feminist retelling characters COMBINED
Speaking of feminist retellings, here's a rant:
I think the thing that ticks me off the most is that they always make the women good, they're not allowed to be bad at all.
Circe has a lot of potential to be good with Madeline's unique ideas but it goes down the drain when you need to make women always good to be 'feminist'
Circe does a lot of bad things but in the end feels bad and eventually wants a punishment for it and HEY DONT
Let Scylla be a monster, don't confess the power you discovered and just... Idk? PURSUE A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH GLAUCUS NOW THAT HES SINGLE????
What was even the point if she wasn't even going to even be with him? I'm not just saying this cause l ship them or anything (l don't) but you just make Circe make Scylla a monster for no reason
I know damn well that Madeline could have come up with a better reason for her 'exile' (she doesn't even get exiled to the island, she just goes there BTW) you could have been like "Oh no one wants to marry me cause I'm ugly or whateva l guess l want a passion other than a man so l will live in this island from now on and pursue my interest in sorcery"
Is what l just made up good? No, l don't think so, but do you know what it is? FEMINIST. ITS FEMINIST BECAUSE ITS CIRCES CHOICE. SHE NEEDS A HOBBY AND SOMETHING OTHER THAN HER FEELING BAD FOR HERSELF AND ALWAYS BEING DOIBTFULL OF HERSELF. I THOUGHT FEMINISM WAS EMPOWIRNG
Let a woman be bad, not all of them have to be saints. If you make them have flaws and toxic traits you make them realistic and relatable which makes them likable
