Intra muros

Just a little note for everyone that I feel needs to be said, Medusa's story in PJO follows one of the Ovid variations in which she was transformed after banging Poseidon in one of Athena's temples. That's why Medusa hesitates to go after Percy: he looks like his dad. It's stated BY ANNABETH that Medusa appears to have a soft spot for him. We will likely be seeing this in the show.

The ORIGINAL GREEK has her as a monster from birth to death, and I feel like this is incredibly important to remember that Greek mythology isn't a monolith, it's a scattered collection of stories that we only have a small percentage of because of linguistic drift and the inevitable loss of knowledge that came with time.

Edited to add: with the way they have Medusa set up so far, I think she may make Percy question his mom's thing about monsters not looking like monsters. The Medusa we got previews of doesn't look like a monster. She looks like a gorgeous woman, the kind of princess a hero might 'rescue'.

Just... food for thought.

Advice:

Bestie and I have plans for NYE. It involves takeout, drinking, watching dumb videos, and chilling with dogs. So nothing special but we haven’t seen each other since thanksgiving and A LOT has happened that we need to catch up on.

She just texted me asking if one of her friends can join us and no pressure to say no. I’ve never met this friend but she says she thinks we would get along great.

What should I do?? Should I say sorry but I was looking forward to just hanging with you or should I be more open to meeting this friend and as the saying goes the more the merrier???
