Idea:
Medusa wasnāt Cursed with Snake Hair and Scales.
She Already had Snake Hair and Scales and was still the hottest lady the Gods have ever seen.
To be fair Medusa is supposedly one of the three Gorgon sisters, so it makes sense that there would be a family resemblance
Yeah thatās why I had to post this
Iāve read too many stories where itās like āsheās a Gorgonā then near the end of the story they say āshe was cursed with snake hair and featuresā
And Iām just like āā¦Wait.ā
I think the only thing she was truly cursed with were the eyes that turn people to stone
someone draw beautiful medusa with scales and snake hair before being cursed p le a s e
I already had a little idea in my head soā¦
The men yell, āsheās a monster! She should be hunted down and killedā. Theyāve said it before, theyāve tried it before. She steals women and devours them, the men yell. āShe comes in the night and takes women away when theyāre on a half-awake wander to the chamber pot or a drink of water. She steals them away to her lair and devours them whole. Why else do women not return?ā
The women whisper, āsheās a savior. She should be sought for sanctuary and love.ā They whisper it around the well whenever they see the shadows of a bruise on their friendsā bodies. Whenever someone who once was vivacious and bright is now dull and flinches from friendly touches. āGo in the night,ā they say, āwhen heās so drunk he sleeps heavily. Take only what he wonāt notice is missing. Donāt worry about clothes or food, she will provide. You will be cared for. Why would you want to return?ā
She says, āwelcome home. You will be safe here,ā with a soft smile and softer eyes. The snakes that curl around her head are more colors than youāve ever seen in your life. She tilts her head as she takes in your bundle of precious items, the bruises on your arm, your face, around your neck. A cloud passes over her face and the sun, and you see the snakes are black. The look passes, the cloud moves away, the sun strikes the snakes again and theyāre a shifting array of colors again. āCome, meet your sisters,ā she says, gesturing as she turns and you look to see dozens of women coming out of the cave, smiling and happy. The group comes forward, splitting to either side of you, leaving a path to the cave and a path behind you leading back. āWelcome, youāre safe.ā You step forward, peace settling into your heart. You will never return.

The men at the drinking party sat around laughing at the younger man.Ā āYou mean to tell us that a woman was beating her husband? Ha! What a jokester you are.ā
āYou are probably just too embarrassed to admit you got that black eye from doing something stupid.ā
āBesides even if you were telling the truth, just be a man and fight back! Or have you no guts at all? We all know your wife is a spitfire but she is still a woman, and you are a man.ā
The young man was used to these responses from the older men of the village, to the point that his heart was turned to stone from it. His wife, whom he had been arranged to marry, was not like most of the other women he had met in his life. She was cruel and truly wicked and often drunk. She took advantage of the young manās youth and lack of experience. Even if the people thought that she was a weak woman, she knew that she was stronger than her young husband, who had less strength than a hungry dog. And of course, no one would believe that a woman could overpower a young man like that.
On this day however, the young man decided to take a chance. He approached the well where he had often seen one woman in particular talking to the women who had vanished only a day or two before then, and she was there today.
āExcuse me. I have a quick question for you.ā
The woman, who was just pulling her bucket out of the well turned to him somewhat surprised.Ā āYes?ā
āIsā¦is it trueā¦what the women whisper about the Gorgon in the woodsā¦thatā¦she helps women whose husbands beat them?ā
The woman seemed suspicious of him at first,Ā āWhere did you hear that?ā
āI justā¦ā the man looked around nervously before removing the bandages from his face to show her his purple-ringed eye and swollen lip.
The woman hesitated before repeating the words she often did to many others,Ā ā Go in the night,ā she said, āwhen he-ā¦she is so drunk he sleeps heavily. Take only what she wonāt notice is missing. Donāt worry about clothes or food, she will provide. You will be cared for. Why would you want to return?ā
Before the young man could even thank her, his wife stormed up behind him,Ā āWhat are you doing talking to another woman!?ā
The young man hesitated before the woman at the well said,Ā āHe saw me struggling with my bucket and came to help me. Nothing more.ā
āI see.ā his wife grumbled, clearly still skeptical.
A few nights later, the young man fled. He was quiet and stealthy, until he got to the forest, where he quickly pushed forward into a sprint. He ran and ran, doing his best to remember the directions to the place that promised safety.
Once at last he came across the cave, he stood panting at its mouth before taking his first steps in. He soon found himself in a big lit chamber, women whom he had recognized as from his same village sat around. Some drinking and eating, others playing games, others braiding each otherās hair. But when he entered, they all looked up at him, some in surprise, others in shock, or fear.
āWhat is a man doing here?ā they whispered,Ā āHas the village sent a mercenary after Medusa?āĀ āAre we no longer safe here?ā the whispers grew into an almost deafening cacophony of the same hopelessness he felt back in the village. Surely, he thought, these women who are fearful of their husbands would not want to welcome a man among them. Perhaps I should have stayed at home, and let them be.
However, when he turned to leave, he found himself face to face with the gorgon woman. Her eyes seemed to pierce deep into his very soul, as if to weed through the annals of his true self.
His mind raced, trying to think of what to say to defend himself against this protector of women, to justify his entrance into this blessed sanctuary for the broken and beaten. But before he could part his lips, she spoke.
āFear not my sisters. Look upon the wounds on his face. He too has come hear for safety from violence. Look into his eyes. He is afraid and hurt, as many of you were when you first came to me. Young man, you are welcome here, for this is a place of safety from cruelty. I know all too well that the hardships of life do not discriminate those of whom they strike against. Come, to your new home, and meet your sisters. Come and be safe.ā
She gently took his bundles and began to carry them away, and when she looked back at him to see if he was following, he felt her eyes peer deep inside him, and begin to shed away the stone that had encased his heart.
(I hope you like this addition because male abuse victims also need happy endings.)
Oh my goshā¦
This is such a beautiful and tearjerking addition
Thank you
The fact that this version of her reverts stone back to people:
not to be controversial but respect trans women or die by my sword
and my bow

Iām...Iām sorry, I just this minute realized that there are people out there who have no idea that Heinz Doofenshmirtz is the best fictional father out there. You guys donāt mind if I bombard your entire dashboard with proof right? Excellent.
BONUS: Doofenshmirtz around children he literally just met who wrecked his āinatorā.
Literally I could go on and on with examples but my computerās starting to crash from the amount of images.
The point is that Heinz Doofenshmirtz is the greatest fictional father out there and anyone who says otherwise was hit by a Lie-inator.
Hey op?

And then you read the whole thing in his voice.
āAutism hasnāt got anything to do with it. Heās an asshole because heās got about 70 different silver spoons shoved straight up his ass.ā

Aunt Debbie is right and she should drink up and say so

purge of 2002? of 2012? what ARE those?
Oh, how quickly the past is forgotten.Ā
They are part of the reason A03 is a thing now. Not the whole reason, but part of it.Ā
The Great Purges of 2002 and 2012 are when ff.net got a wild hair up their ass about THINK OF THE CHILDREN and nuked any fic posted on there that was explicit. Thousands upon thousands of nc-17 smutfics were lost.
Itās what led to the creation of alternate hosting sites for smutty ficā¦AdultFanfiction was the one I went toā¦but thousands of fics would never be recovered.Ā
Shit like the Great Purges and the Strikethrough of Livejournal eventually led to fans banding together to create A03, which I would have absolutely KILLED for when I was 15.
Back up ao3 was created by fans?
Itāsā¦right on the main page.Ā
I love this because I will bet you that persefv has read that bit we are all so inundated with hyperbole and advertising that says that the consumer is somehow in charge of whatever product they are shilling that we all just assumed this was another sales tactic.
But weāre not evenā¦ selling anythingā¦Ā *quiet sobs*
No ads. No subscriptions. No data selling.
We are the definition of āwhat it says on the tin.ā
Is there any way to spread this info?Ā
THE OTW WAS CREATED BY FANS SO WEāD HAVE AN ARCHIVE THAT WASNāT SUBJECT TO CORPORATE REVIEW.Ā
Nonprofit, so that nobody could ever say,Ā āthis isnāt making enough money; itās getting shut down.ā (See: Geocities, Quizilla, Figment, G+.) With lawyers involved and a firm awareness of the legalities of fanfic, so nobody would decideĀ āweāve gotten a nasty letter from a megacorporation with lawyers, so weāre hiding because we canāt afford to face a lawsuit. (Jedi Hurtaholics, Trevizoās Millennium site.) With teams, so that an argument between co-mods didnāt result in the destruction of a whole archive. (Gryffindor Tower, Detention.)
AO3 IS OUR SITE.
It is by fans, for fans. Fans do all the coding. All the legal paperwork. All the abuse/tos violation complaints. Fans make all the choices about policies. Fans decide how to run the fundraisers. Fans write the blog posts. All the volunteer staff are fans; all the people who train them are fans. Fans wrangle all the tags.Ā
(And the other OTW projects, too. Fans manage the entries at Fanlore. Fans run the Open Doors project. Fans publish Transformative Works and Cultures.)
EVERYONE WORKING FOR THE OTW LOVES FANDOM. Wants it to survive. Wants it to be awesome for everyone.
(Knows that it canāt be awesome for everyone; some approaches to fandom just clash hard. But they strive to minimize those clashes as much as possible, because they love fandom.)Ā
AO3 is not some company that decided,Ā āweāll make a site for fanfic and thenā¦ā I donāt know what people are thinking is the reason. Money? Data harvesting? Tax shelter? Amusement and pity?
Nope; AO3 was fans saying,Ā āLivejournal sucks; weāre tired of this fucked-upĀ ārebuild every three yearsā garbage; WE NEED TO OWN THE DAMN SERVERS.ā
Thatās theĀ āof our ownā part of the name. OTW isnāt aĀ āthemā running the siteĀ āfor us.ā ItāsĀ āusā making places forĀ āusā to share what we love with others ofĀ āus.āĀ
This this this.
I was there for all of that shit, and AO3 is a godsend. If you enjoy or create fanworks, support AO3, donate if you can, and remember why itās there in the first place!!
Fandom history really does get lost quickly. For current 20-something fans, AO3 has always been there.
CAN CONFIRM. I was there in the dark times. I remember the purges. The fights. The servers wiped and the sites removed and the thousands upon thousands of works lost. I remember how hopeless it felt, like every time we got something going, it was doomed to failure. What was the point of even trying to create something if it would just be deleted anyway?
Y'all think fandom infighting is bad now? Picture it with sites where the ban system worked like YouTube and TikTok - you could get slapped with one for any reason or no reason at all. No way to appeal it. Picture it with fans getting in legal trouble because someone didnāt like their work and reported it. Picture it with people getting sued over fanfiction. Because it happened.
Thatās why so many fics written by oldtimers like me have that knee-jerk, āI own nothing, please donāt sue.ā There was a time when that was necessary.
AO3 changed all that. No more crashes, no more purges, and at least some protection under the law. (We all knew the bit where fanfic is technically covered under the āparodyā clause of copyright law, but not a single one of us could have made a case in court cause the thing that unites fans apart from their fandoms is that we are by and large broke.) And OTW has endured not because itās got all the funding or corporate backing in the world, but because itās run by people who give a damn.
Always support the existence of fandom, but more importantly, support places and organizations that help fandoms continue to exist.
And never forget the reason why we lost so much back in the day.Ā āThe Great Purges of 2002 and 2012 are when ff.net got a wild hair up their ass about THINK OF THE CHILDREN and nuked any fic posted on there that was explicit.āĀ Use the tags, keep out of what you donāt want to see and tailor your own experiences instead of trying to shut down the one good thing we fic writers haveĀ
Thereās a REASON that the Archive of Our Own exists, and thatās because other sites have been trying to shut down fandom for a very long time. The following list is from this Fanlore article.
Cease and Desist by FOX against fan sites (mid-1990s)
The Viacom Crackdowns (1995, 2005)
PotterWar (2001-2002)
Tripod Massacre (March 2001)
FanFiction.Netās NC-17 Purges: 2002 and 2012
Quizillaās purge (2006)
LiveJournalās Strikethrough Ā (May 2007) and Boldthrough (August 2007)
GeoCities Shutdown (2009)
tagging policy decisions at Delicious (2011)
The SnappeningĀ (Tumblr) (2018)
Tumblr NSFW Content Purge (2018)
Yahoo! Groups Content Purge (2019)
Oh, and AO3? As of March 1, 2020, itās banned in Chinaāmost likely to prevent the Chinese people from accessing queer and/or explicit fiction.

being cosmically "insignificant" doesnt even matter like its not important......... like literally lets enjoy a strawberry
as a physicists the whole 'cosmically significant' is so funny. nothing is cosmically significant. the sun is small and tiny compared to, most starts and even stars are small next to the gravitational pull of supermassive black holes and even then is doesn't matter bc, the universe is both infinite and in vast expanse so why would one black whole matter?, which means at the end everything matters bc the universe is a sum of its parts all parts are so stupid small to the universe they all, matter and we are here enjoying a strawberry, isnt it nice?,Ā (via las-lus)
