something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.

it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.

and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.

on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.

edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.

#perseus #danae #komiks tag #long post #every other week i start to say something about how greek heroes are a good case study in diaspora and exile trauma #but man perseus makes me so sad. so does danae. she loves her son :( #perseus turning a whole island to stone is a huge mood. i would also do that if i were him #anyway (salutes) take care everyone i gotta watch yunho's new video it looks like a fucking movie im so excited #(i singled out ovid bc i remember the fucking shit perseus discourse that ran through this site. i remember #im preemptively loading a gun and pointing at it before it can touch this post #it hasn't died out either i see it on twitter all the time in the most ANNOYING ways possible i am TIRED #esp bc they're actually doing medusa a narrative disservice like congrats! you made it worse! stop telling me it's better!!!!) #it’s all greek to me

poseidon’s relationship with percy is something that is so personal to me. love so flawed and complicated, so wary and tentative. your father is here. he’s always been here. he’s not sure what to make of you but he is proud of you. you’re not sure what to make of him either. you’re sally jackson’s son, but you have your father’s eyes. you are the sea as much as he is. trust him. trust yourself. breathe. the sea does not like to be restrained.

#I’m so scared they’ll fuck up their relationship in the show but I have HIGH hopes #so far interesting things have been introduced about him which I hope will actually insert nuance to the show #what does it mean for your father to be a monster? #your mother never talked about him that way #but all are victim to the immortality of gods and the detachment it brings #how much can a profound being truly love you without making a victim out of you? #does one’s immortality inherently devalue one’s love? #this devolved into thoughts about sally and Medusa and Poseidon and poseidon’s monstrosity #but whatever #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv show #pjo series #percy jackson

Alecto offered to help our quest if I gave you up to her. What did you say? I killed her sister. Medusa offered to help me save my mom if I turned in the two of you. What did you say? I cut off her head.

it's the way Medusa said "Athena declared that I had embarrassed her" in episode 3 and the way Annabeth said "I embarrassed my mother" in episode 4 and both of them getting punished by someone who they worship and respect and love i'm just—

Lin Manuel Miranda: He’s everywhere but no one really likes him. People think he’s selfish and annoying. A little shit

Hermes: ALSO everywhere but no one really likes him. People think he’s selfish and annoying. A little shit

Everyone: WHY IS LMM IN THE SHOW, NO ONE WANTS HIM HERE

Listen buddy, you wanted accurate casting-

#he fucking ATE okay? him mumbling the song immediately brought me in #i’m gonna say it #that resting scowl in the elevator like he’s not holding Medusa’s head in a box #“you’re not gonna believe this #JUMP SCARE Melanie calm down #get a grip people #LMM you’re doing amazing sweetie #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #percy jackson the lightning thief #percy jackson tv show #pjo tv show #pjo spoilers #lin manuel miranda

Also can you guys imagine how Annabeth must be feeling atm? The mother whose attention and approval she tried so fucking hard to get her whole life just put her and her friends in danger because of something she didn’t even do??? That she was fully prepared to literally die to give Percy and Grover a chance to live and fulfill the quest? Only for Percy, after they were getting past their initial hostilities and forming a budding friendship, to take her place to die protecting them from something Annabeth believes is her fault??? And that everything Medusa told her might actually be true and that the mother she loves and idolizes so much doesn’t really care about her at all???

Not to mention Annabeth still doesn’t know if Percy is alive or not.

people who complain about slight differences in the percy jackson show literally just do not get it. it's the spirit of the books. that's what the movies were missing. the spirit of the books was gone back then, but this time, slight inaccuracies or not, it's there, in full force. we really are so back

#percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #like you can just tell that the original creator/people who really love the original work are involved!! #their conversation with medusa hinting at the whole fucking point of the book series (the gods suck)... i gasped #it's just so good. and haters gonna hate and all but they could also just shut the fuck up

[periwinkle-the-11th]

Can we pls PLS talk about Medusa and Annabeth PLEASE

"Athena declared that I had embarrassed her, and I needed to be punished. Not him, me."

AND ONE EPISODE LATER

"she said that my impertinence wounded my mother's pride. And that will be my doom. I embarrassed my mother."

😭😭😭😭

I love how meeting Medusa and hearing about her resentment not only towards Athena but also towards Poseidon is another stepping stone on Percy realizing how shitty the gods truly are

#but percy is fucking loyal to his friends and getting his mom back by betraying them is something he would never do #gi talks #pjotv #pjo #pjo spoilers #riordanverse #percy jackson #medusa pjo #1

[endlesslycoffee]

oh I see we are changing things? we are not being 100% faithful to the book but instead expanding on more complex issues that are talked in the later books while still focusing on the original aspects of the story but making them more realistic and deep? oh i see??

#percy jackson #i am loving every single change #annabeth clocking IMMEDIATELY that they are with medusa?? not what i expected #the conversation they all have? not what i expected BUT WHAT WAS NEEDED #im loving this SO FUCKING MUCH !!

[twinsarekeepers]

Reading y’all’s takes on Annabeth in the show is actually painful and I understand why they cut out all her “stupid” moments in the book.

#book!annabeth gets to walk into medusa’s lair and the lotus casino unwittingly and still be seen as the smartest in the room #leahbeth knows everything about monsters and quests and guesses the trap instantly but she’s not actually smart #i wonder why #i hate this fucking fandom #pjotv #percy jackson #annabeth chase #leahbeth #leah sava jeffries #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo tv show

the book trend that needs to be left in the dust for the new year is greek mythology retellings. i am so sick and tired of "retellings" of greek (or roman, but mainly greek) mythology from authors that clearly have a very surface level pop cultural understanding of the myth(s) they're adapting and the culture(s) they're depicting. especially the many that market themselves as "feminist retellings" where the "feminism" is basically just "men bad sometimes", and especially when they're "feminist retellings" that take some of the few mythological women who get happy endings and take it away from them for the sake of saying "men bad sometimes". it's all so shallow and they exploded this year and i'm sick of it.

#i wish so fucking much to read one (1) singular actually good feminist retelling of greek mythology #but they're always so shallow both in their messaging and their understanding of ancient greek culture and religion #i speak #anti booktok #sort of anyway? #greek mythology #bc i can't make a single post tangentially about myth without bitching about medusa: #so many people in publishing clearly got everything they learned about medusa from popular online depictions #and especially the books that are specifically about medusa blending greek and roman mythology despite them having very distinct elements

How will you interpret Tirek? Is he staying a centaur?

Idk.

#ask me #anon #i know tirek is important to the franchise as a whole so i'll probably do SOMETHING with him #but he's so. boring. in the show #he wants to SUCK everyone in equestria #he sucked that stallion dry!!!! #i think he has some lore with his brother(?). but that's the most interesting thing about him. otherwise he's just bland evil #also before anyone asks i'm not adapting cozy glow she is a fucking baby #she is a child #where are her parents #why did they put a mentally ill 6 year old in hell jail and then medusa her ass
