I Love The Reference To Medusa

I love the reference to medusa

I think (or maybe head-cannon) that Athena is the most human amongst the gods.

She sees their best as the goddess of wisdom, witnessing their enlightenment.

She sees their worst as the goddess of wisdom, they fight and war against one another.

And she sees the one thing that all the other gods are blind too: How much humans care. Whether the humans care too little or too much or care just enough. The way they are loyal in battle. The way their relationships are complicated. The way each human has the ability to care but only few choose too.

I think since Athena is the most human, she acts the most human too. She lashes out like the olympian god she is, only for her human conscience to bite her in the ass later.

There are theories out there that Athena gave Medusa the ability to turn people to stone so that she would never be taken advantage of again. Most speculate that Athena did it out of spite, since Medusa had been assaulted in her temple.

The latter theory may bot make sense but Athena is still an olympian god. Unpredictable and complex.

I think Athena made Medusa ugly out of spite but gave her protection out of sympathy. Like, at first, Athena was pissed, but then, she took it back and turned that curse into a blessing in disguise.

The same for Arachne. Maybe Athena lashed out, like most gods, and cursed Arachne without thinking. But then Athena blessed Arachne to be one of the most feared creatures out there. Idk.

Anyways, point is, Athena is the only god with some sort of sympathy to the plight of humans because she knows how humans really are.

Here is my Atena design!

I'm thinking of making her a little more muscular, but slender, as if she represented the agility of battles. She rarely smiles, like a strict teacher who wants the best for you and one way or another, she will always be remembered. Also her snakes re a refference to medusa, as they represent each other (as my friend told me and I love to see like that).

And! Apollo and Athena after 'God Games' in EPIC - the musical and she gets this lightning scar.

Zeus beat the crap out of her, but he would never kill Athena!! And I like that it suits him to be so strict with her, at least for me, she is the oldest daughter and the one who suffers the most pressure. What I dont like... its that in Epic, Zeus changed to look worse again!! ;w; really, he was way chill about releasing Odisseus and just wanted to not upset Poseidon in the process....

Sometimes I feel like us as the bat family fandom forget how starry eyed people get about Nightwing canonically.

Because with the exception of early era Tim most of the Batkids are like. lol thatโ€™s my loser older brother or some variation of yeahโ€ฆheโ€™s some guy I guess? He helps me with homework?

And Nightwing is the canonically a center of multiversal light.

When Heroes meet Nightwing they do the vigorous handshake and the โ€œitโ€™s an honor to meet you sir, I have heard so much about you oh my godโ€

There are so many character where they are literally shown giggling and kicking their feet whenever Nightwing talks to them.

Even the people who donโ€™t have the celebrity level worship of him respect the hell out of him and call him as soon as they need help.

From raven to Starfire to Superman to Superboy to all or the flashes there is so much respect and awe given to this one dude.

And it is deserved

But imagine you are Damian Wayne and youโ€™ve been working with what 90% of the people youโ€™ve met (all bats) have been calling an embarrassment to your fatherโ€™s legacy.

Your mother hates him and your Grandfather doesnโ€™t feel that strongly about him.

The red hood calls him an embarrassment and a coward and he couldnโ€™t even keep Red Robin from running away.

Your father tells him that he never should have been Batman

And youโ€™ve worked with him and you know what you think everyone is full of shit about him and you and him the new Batman and Robin are the best no matter what anyone says.

And fuck it the fact he keeps going in a suit that everyone tells him heโ€™s not good enough for is scratching something in your brain that youโ€™re refusing to acknowledge because why would you feel that way? You are the circus freak have nothing in common (shut up)

And then you meet the justice league and all the extended teams.

And people are falling over themselves to listen to a word out of your brothers, your Batmanโ€™s mouth. They wait for a nod or headshake and dictate decades worth of planning on it.

Both Drake and Toddโ€™s hero teams ask him for advice with or without their designated bats presence.

The man of steel asks for child rearing advice and wonder woman cracks a joke about a spar

Newer heroes whisper about him in the halls

Heโ€™s literally your favorite heroโ€™s favorite hero

And itโ€™s breaking Damianโ€™s Brain

Because wellโ€ฆ he kinda gets slapped around in Gotham. Heโ€™s the butt of half the jokes the other Batkids make and Dick just smiles and takes it.

The rogues have a bounty on nightwings ass and he gets leered at by goons, rogues, civilians and anti-heroโ€™s alike and he doesnโ€™t say anything.

He lets oracle crack jokes about a pretty face and having to do everything herself

Letโ€™s Jason run the alley despite the fact that apparently he knows how to take it back

Apparently heโ€™s had 12 people tailing Drake since Paris and despite being the man Raโ€™s Al Ghul calls detective has yet to notice. (Because you canโ€™t tell me Dick was just magically at the right place to catch Tim falling to his death on coincidence)

And necessary to peace talks because heโ€™s the best they have at deescalation

Like imagine you are a child who was raised to believe power is this obvious, all consuming thing. That the ones who control the board are visibly larger than life figures who fought their way to the top and cling to power by even the thinnest hangnail if they had to.

People who ignore simpler morals or an overall greater goal or good

And then youโ€™re taken in by the man who whispers the correct answers into the larger than life figures ear.

Like I feel like that would have such an impact because Dick didnโ€™t take power from anyone to reach his goals, itโ€™s why his siblings donโ€™t really defer to him unless in crisis.

Dick didnโ€™t take power, no people just looked at him and decided he was the best option to give it to.

Everyone basically looked at this kid and went, yeah youโ€™re the future of all heroism.

And if that dude canโ€™t even get Bruce Wayneโ€™s respect what chance does Damian Wayne have

I like to think that whenever Tim and Jason patrol together people call them Robin Hood.

Like-

*Tim and Jay waiting for police to arrest some goons*: ...

Police officer: Thanks for this Robin Hood.

And, even better, Tim and Jason don't care.

Jason: no sweat.

Tim: see ya around officer.

I apologize for asking for donations this way, but itโ€™s my last hope. I lost my son, and I canโ€™t bear to lose my daughter and family as well. I am a teacher who lost his job, and my wife and daughter are trapped in northern Gaza under bombing, starvation, and thirst. My father suffers from severe asthma, and his condition worsens in winter due to a lack of medicine. We did nothing to deserve this brutal war and suffering.

I am asking for just 30$ from each of you to help save my family in Gaza. Please donate through the link in my bio (gofundme or PayPal). With your support, we can reach our goal today and give my family a chance at life. Every bit of help means the world to us.

My campaign was vetted by: @gaza-evacuation-funds @nabulsi @90-ghost

@gazavetters, my verified number on the list is (#113)

Iโ€™m so sorry for your loss. Right now, youโ€™re going through something the world thought we would never see again. I canโ€™t directly donate but Iโ€™ll do my best to share this post. God bless, I pray that your son is at peace.

Cue Dick starting to also buy Damian photos-

Spilling Tea Part 6:

All the Robins (minus Jason, who left early) are sitting criss-cross applesauce on a plush carpet, summoned by Dick Grayson to play "truth or dare but without a dare and you can choose what to spill" (officially named by Dick).

Dick: Now it's your turn, Dami.

Damian: Richard, I am unsure I have anything of interest to share.

Dick: Don't sell yourself short, Baby Bat! I'm sure whatever it is, it'll be great!

Steph, who is experiencing some doubt: Uhh, totally!

Damian nods thoughtfully: Very well. I have learned the existence of the Pistol Shrimp, also known as the Snapping Shrimp.

Tim: Oh here we go.

Damian: They are largely carnivorous with a variety of feeding behaviors. They live in colonies consisting of hundreds of Pistol Shrimp. The name given to this creature is due toโ€”

Dick: Damian, while we'd all love to hear all about Pistol Shrimp, you're supposed to talk about yourself.

Damian: A landscape caught my eye in a galleryโ€”

Tim: Nope.

Damian: The Kent farm has six young chicks. During my stay, I was permitted to feed them.

Duke: You told everyone about that at dinner last week.

Damian: Tt.

Dick: Don't worry about it. You'll think of something.

Damian shifts uncomfortably: I would rather not.

Dick smiles at him, then scoots closer.

Damian: Richard.

Dick scoots even closer.

Damian scoots back: Grayson.

Dick snatches him up into his lap. Damian responds by hissing like an unruly cat, but thankfully does not attack. In fact, he looks rather comfortable to just stay trapped in Dick's hug.

Damian: If I comply with the 'bonding activity' rules, will you release me?

Dick fully intends to keep him for ten minutes minimum: Of course.

Damian: Tt. It has recently come to my attention that Todd is in possession of my photos. He has been exploiting them without my permission by seeking monetary profit from Father.

Steph: What kind of photos?

Damian eyes Dick suspiciously: Of my childhood. Starting from infanthood.

They are all hit with a mental image of what they imagine a little baby Damian would look like.

Dick in his head: I need to make a call after this. Multiple calls, actually.
