i know i said i’m ready to come off hiatus but idk 

writing medusa can be really hard for me bc she’s hyperfocused on anger and trauma and ugliness and monstrosity and negative things and when i write a character i have to go deep into them to really write them, u kno? 

and i’ve been making progress with recovery stuff so i’m a bit hesitant to write medusa here again bc it might retrigger stuff or something, i don’t want to have to think about trauma that deeply every day again especially when i just started to improve 

so idk i think i might wait to come back until i know how to write medusa the way she needs to be written without harming myself in the process

#* venomless / ooc.#it's just really hard to write her#i've been so focused on only her project-wise for years that i haven't written anything nonrelated to her and that really sucks#i still love her but it's just so difficult lately#i'll still check in and if u want like. other stuff to message me on i can give it to u#i love and miss all of u i'm sorry

BEASTESS, 2018, written & directed by megan, tells the story of a priestess who is transformed into a gorgon by the goddess she serves after she is raped in her temple by the god of the sea. she, along with her sisters, decide to enact vengeance on poseidon while attempting to heal. this is a story of recovery and anger, a story of monstrosity and who is the real monster here? rated r for violence, for teeth, for blood. 

#this is a promo actually dfghjkk pls love me#rape ment /#blood /#long post /

@herateleia said: i wld say "as long as it's not on the level of 'the glory of hera'" but, like, im p sure that trash heap has also come up in your notes and basically.... FUCK SLATER

:o i haven’t seen that actually, i think, im looking at really niche stuff lately (the google scholar search is ‘medusa + feminism -laugh of the medusa -cixous’; i did that with the time set to everything before 1989, and i’m on page 42 of everything after 1989 rn)

#herateleia#im googling it rn#it has............an untrustworthy cover

Oftentimes when a woman displays any righteous defiance, protective fierceness, sharp anger, flaming fury, or steamy venting of suppressed frustration arising from oppression, she is labeled monstrous, mad, hysterical, or dangerous.

i download this pdf, right, and it’s over 300 pages long (art and anger by jane marcus), and now i can’t remember where or how i found it or how i managed to get the ENTIRE THING, but it’s clearly part of the medusa research 

so anyway i’m like thirty pages in and i finally manage to find the search function, search ‘medusa’, and find out she’s only mentioned TWICE in the actual thing (three times total: once in the notes) AND IT ISN’T EVEN USEFUL 

#* venomless / ooc.#i've had this tab up for WEEKS and finally get around to it and i can't even USE it#that is SO RUDE#>:-(#sdfghjk sorry for the lil rant#today is Not a reply day today is a research-and-complain day
