Medusa Sylvia Plath Off that landspit of stony mouth-plugs, Eyes rolled by white sticks, Ears cupping the sea’s incoherences, You house your unnerving head—God-ball, Lens of mercies, Your stooges Plying their wild cells in my keel’s shadow, Pushing by like hearts, Red stigmata at the very center, Riding the rip tide to the nearest point of departure, Dragging their Jesus hair. Did I escape, I wonder? My mind winds to you Old barnacled umbilicus, Atlantic cable, Keeping itself, it seems, in a state of miraculous repair. In any case, you are always there, Tremulous breath at the end of my line, Curve of water upleaping To my water rod, dazzling and grateful, Touching and sucking. I didn’t call you. I didn’t call you at all. Nevertheless, nevertheless You steamed to me over the sea, Fat and red, a placenta Paralyzing the kicking lovers. Cobra light Squeezing the breath from the blood bells Of the fuchsia. I could draw no breath, Dead and moneyless, Overexposed, like an X-ray. Who do you think you are? A Communion wafer? Blubbery Mary? I shall take no bite of your body, Bottle in which I live, Ghastly Vatican. I am sick to death of hot salt. Green as eunuchs, your wishes Hiss at my sins. Off, off, eely tentacle! There is nothing between us.

I’ve been seeing this ship dynamic a lot and thought it was cute so I drew it lol

Today’s Flickr photo with the most hits: Medusa, as she was when I finished painting her, back in 2001, as part of the Greco-Roman makeover. She was modelled on a carving of Medusa at the Temple of Apollo, in Didyma (present day Didim, Turkiye). Subsequently, it all went under two layers of wall-paper and was lost from view in a new iteration. When I retired, 2021, I decided to redecorate the flat and found myself wondering if she, and the head of a victorious athlete (Greek, the Louvre), might find a place in the new decor. In the interim, she had been much bashed about by plumbers (shower fitted in bathroom). Nonetheless, after the wallpaper was steamed off (still more damage) there was enough original work left to inspire me to restore, stabilise, and re-imagine. Respecting her story, I shifted the colour palette of the restored sections, and came up with an innovative twist for the most damaged section (gold leaf). Now, she’s back, bolder than ever.

A bronze statue of Perseus holding the head of Medusa (1554) by Benvenuto Cellini is in the Loggia dei Lanzi facing the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. A 1910 marble copy of Michelangelo’s David is to the left.

Medusa and the blind woman she fell in love with trope <3 I saw this a while back in like 2025 and I was going through my drawings to see what to draw for pride month— safe to say it took MUCH longer than expected 😔😔 (Last year’s drawing beneath the cut

I think there’s an incredible allure to the myth of Medusa in the fact that her whole thing is that it’s dangerous to be perceived by her. Like, there’s this unique privilege you get as a witness to her story, as a reader or viewer or listener, because you are breaking the fabric of the story, but also participating in it, in a way. You are there to experience her full realization, but you are as safe as the characters who only hear about her. Medusa stares through the fourth wall, but she cannot harm you. It’s like seeing a shark in the aquarium.

Her gaze turns silk to cold, unyielding stone, A petrified heart, left silent and alone. I reach for warmth in shadows, vast and deep, Where promised deaths and phantom wishes sleep.

ALT “Gloryhole Gorgons” from Lewdtober. Also a character that would probably be cool to draw again not behind a set of gloryholes, but also very complicated so I probably won’t.

This is a summoning. (Fantastic Four Volume 3 #577)

Round 1 Poll 3 Medusa (Besieged Boss) Cid whose ass is now whole Picture 1 (above): Picture of a regular Lamia, a blue woman a human torso and snake waist with dark blue scales for hair. The Lamia is wearing a gold shirt and earrings. Due to the lag common to Besieged and the lottery of which Boss attacks Al Zabi, it is difficult to take or find screenshots of Medusa. Just imagine a bigger, taller, and stronger Lamia than the one shown, and you’ll be close. Picture 2: TBA
