Concept: medusa is a lesbian and that’s why she turns men to stone and she ends up falling in love with a blind lesbian who stumbles into her lair
oops my hand slipped

@ryshai I’m 100% sure we’ve already mentioned each other in this post but I needed to do it again xd

whoops my hand slipped
AAAHHH UPDATE ART YAAAASSS
Not to go Greek myth on main here or anything. But a large part of the reason why a majority of monsters and such in Greek myth are women is because while men’s sexuality and such was seen as orderly and necessary for society, women’s sexuality (and women in general) were seen as needing to be controlled or else essentially their sheer destructive force would wipe out society.
Additionally Medusa was originally exceptionally beautiful, got raped, and then cursed to be ugly by Athena (bc side note, Poseidon raped Medusa in Athena’s temple). However my favorite thought on the matter - which comes direct from a horde of tea snob classics professors including one who studies pottery and cooks at the college cafeteria for funsies, and another who I’m 99% sure is a chaotic neutral bisexual who curses at people in Latin - is that Athena actually didn’t CURSE Medusa. She provided Medusa with a way of PROTECTING HERSELF, which men at the time viewed as being monstrous.
So anyway the point here is that Medusa being gay would make absolute sense Greek mythos wise. It’s just that male poets would NEVER talk about that.
This is actually hella interesting, bc in simple terms, tigers are extroverts and lions are introverts. There’s more to it, but that’s the gist.
Whenever zoo’s tried to put lions and tigers in the same enclosures, the tiger would eventually try to groom the lioness and play constantly. The lioness would lose patience and snaps at them
So basically what I’m saying is that you have a regal and refined gf who stands at the edge of a balcony during parties, sipping champagne
Then you have the other girl who drank all of the little flutes on the servers platter, and is now drunkenly pointing at her gf and telling everyone that that’s her gf and doesn’t she look beautiful I love her so much
So I had to draw them in human form???
You drew them in the corresponding ethnicities for their Geographic locations!!! Bless you, you have no idea how sick and tired I am of white human lion king characters.

It’s amazing that people will see a kid yelled at or manhandled by a parent and say “It’s not my business, you can’t tell someone how to raise their kid” but if someone lets their son wear a dress it’s a public discussion.
