Medusa retelling idea…🐍🥀🪨
it’s Medusa’s life before her death and its slice of life.
that’s it.
no big conflict pre-Perseus, no UwUifing & / or victimising Snake Lady, or demonising her family.
Just little dumb moments like Medusa, Euryalê & Sthennô cracking up at each other’s crude / evil jokes / being three terrifying Disney Villain-type sisters, spending some quality time with their parents who r very proud of their horrible monstrous girls, Medusa & her Monsterfucker bf Poseidon (not Ovid’s version) being freak4freak with each other, rolling around in that meadow and ruining the soil with their graphic canoodling/j, you get the idea.
Medusa then finding out she’s pregnant and her sisters teasing her about it profusely (“*loud hiss-cackling* weren’t too careful with that Sea God lover of yours were you?~” “*growl-groan* OH SHUT IT”).
and then her death…BUT-
it’s portrayed comedicish with her sisters walking in on her corpse at the sound of her head being sliced like: “sister don’t tell us you’ve started wetting the bed alre-
*babe Pegasus + Khrysaor on the floor next to Medusa’s body like
👁️👁️ 👁️👁️*
*Perseus with his back turned looking pants shittingly TERRIFIED*
“…wh- WHAT IN THE FUCKING—“
btw NO PERSEUS SLANDER WILL BE TOLERATED‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Medusa, at the end of the day, is a monster AKA killed quite a lot of (potentially) innocent ppl, Perseus was just there doing what he had to do, Get out of my comment section Booktok Girlies :)
