As someone who lived through the later 2000/ early 2010 kataang v zutara ship wars, let me tell you I was NOT prepared for the new generation of ATLA fans to hit me with Zukka being their favorite ship

We have elected to make it gay

This is a rose quartz geode.

It looks like a demon egg.

Why must you demonize a thing of such rare beauty? It’s red crystal, not a negative entity. Don’t throw your negativity at everything you see.

These are fucking amazing what better stuff do they have that they gotta reject these

Athena blessed her with the ability to protect herself and men beheaded her for it.

That’s actually a really intetesting intpretation of it I hadn’t thought of. Most people seem to think Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon as punishment for defiling her temple, but thinking that she did so to protect her from being abused again is interesting and I like it!

Athena’s hands were tied. Yes, she was a powerful Goddess, but she was very much a woman in a “boys club”, and the true offending party (don’t think for a moment that Athena blamed Medusa for being raped in the temple, Athena knows better) held all the cards. There was nothing that Athena could do to punish the true criminal, and she was expected to punish Medusa by everyone else. What’s a Goddess to do when she cannot punish those who need to be punished and is expected to punish not only the truly innocent party, but her most beloved follower? Use that incredible brain power she had to protect Medusa at all costs, and of course the men would see it as punishment, to be have her beauty stripped from her and sent to live in the shadows. Medusa should have been KILLED for supposedly defiling the temple, whether she truly did or not, but she was given the gift of life, and the ability to protect herself and her daughters (who she bore thanks to Poseidon). This is why Medusa’s image was used to signify woman’s shelters and safe houses.

Medusa means “guardian; protectress”, and she was.

Feministic mythology is what I’m here for

wonder who the culprit is

oh my god..a bread boy 

a crime of passion

Tall, dark, handsome villain: Join me and I promise to love you and rule beside you forever and a glorious day

YA female protagonist: Never! This *points to some Chad* seventeen-year-old boy who lives next door to me is my soulmate

if little shop of horrors came out today yall would be so horny for the plant. yall would ship it with the twinky little main dude and there’d be discourse over whether it was better to humanise the plant or not. there’d be humanised fanart of it as a skinny white dude in a green suit. i know yall too well and i know you can’t be trusted with the responsibility
