there are a lot of weird kinky stories in ancient greek mythology but can you imagine how fucking weird it would be if you walked into pygmalion’s workshop to commission some art and found him hardcore making out with some statue like a hipster in a museum

#legitimately having to stop people from making out with statues is one of the most exasperating things about my job #like guys #please #I know you want to be edgy and take instagram selfies – but it’s a museum and a historical object and the lighting is terrible anyway #and most importantly it’s a museum #I will kick you out myself #and rest assured #I will tell everyone about it #yes I did walk in on someone making out with a bust of Queen Victoria (not even like an artsy peck they were *going for it*) #and it has slightly traumatised me for life #….. this isn’t a post about that (x)

@villierscy this wasn’t originally a post about that but now it is PLEASE share more about the freak mashing mouths with queen victoria

ok but can you imagine a worse, more terrifying fate than medusa’s one? just imagine. first of all you’re raped in your goddess’ temple. which, apart from the obvious trauma, means you can’t keep doing what you devoted your entire life to. your goddess gifts you with the ability to turn those you look at into stone and your hair into snakes so that you can defend yourself and be a threat rather than a victim to men. and then?????? a fucking MAN decides hes gonna hunt you down and slaughter you for…. sport like just because he can?????? and not only does he kill you but he keeps your head as a weapon???????? effectively using you and your body for his own purpose exactly like your rapist??????????????? like??? and this man is considered a hero while you’ll be remembered as a monstruous, dangerous entity???????????????????? medusa deserved better smh

“With modernity, we enter the age of the production of the Other. The aim is no longer to kill the Other, devour it, seduce it, vie with it, love it or hate it, but, in the first instance, to produce it. The Other is no longer an object of passion, but an object of production.”

— Baudrillard, “Otherness Surgery” (via unfolding-kriegspiel)
