For my OG Medusa lovers out there I present to you Medusa from the temple of Artemis in Kerkyra/Corfu one of the oldest known archaic temples!

Not gonna lie guys I felt my heart skipping a beat standing under this masterpiece that I have only seen in books! And this thing is HUGE!

Like you can see people for scale:

A gift of the tyrant family of Cypselids around the years 590-570 BC but constantly reconstructed and sustained for many years this masterpiece is a doric pseudo-dipteral temple. This masterpiece is depicting Gorgon Medusa and her two children, the winged horse Pegasus and Chrysaor that here is depicted as a young man. And the details man! The details!

I mean look at the details of her winged feet!

Medusa is depicted at her usual archaic way of 3/4 perspective with her head facing the viewer as an apotropaic mask and her body is depicted with the characteristic skip that is being used to indicate fast pace or flight. She is surrounded by lions and male forms.

I could sleep there guys! I think this apotropaic symbol would protect me! When I visited that museum to visit her was like a life experience! I was so privileged to have seen it and also to my leisure without many people around! I felt like paying my tribute to Artemis after Hera, Apollo, Poseidon and Asclepius back then in Mon Repos:

I hate when a tiny stupid thing pushes you over the edge and makes you freak the fuck out because it makes you look like a completely irrational tar pit of a human being. Like no I promise this is warranted just maybe not about that specifically I swear I'm well adjusted. Come closer stick your fingers in my cage

greta was time's person of the year a few years ago. she was adored by all liberal world leaders and parties. and when she learnt about people's struggle under occupation and colonialism, she stood in solidarity with them . she now stands with palestine and armenia and kashmir and every oppressed person in the world. she could have been rich as fuck by simply remaining as a climate activist. yet she chose to do the right thing. i love her for her integrity.

I dislike Feyre because she became a sexist portrayal of what some people think a strong fmc should be.

But that dislike gets thrown out the window when someone hates Feyre because THEY are sexist.

We don't hate her because she's a woman, we hate her because she's dense, and dumbed down for a male palette. And that says more about the author than the character.

not doomed by the narrative but saved by the narrative. yeah i know you'd rather die than keep suffering but the story doesn't actually care what you want. you have to keep going, even when it hurts. even being erased from existence won't stop you from being salvaged from the wreckage of un-being. get up. keep pushing. keep bleeding. keep living.

Is this a problem?

This just in: calling your sister stinky is equivalent to verbal abuse 😔

Let’s say this together..

LORE OLYMPUS IS APESHIT! It’s offensive to Greek culture and the gods themselves. Plus the artwork is awful.

isnt it interesting that two people can read the same book and one will just move on and the other will have their entire dna changed by the characters i just love that reading is such a unique and entirely human experience
