Medusa has become quite a polarizing figure, and perhaps of all figures in mythology demonstrates how we reuse and interpret myths to make sense of our experiences and the world around us.
Personally, I subscribe to earlier Greek interpretations of Medusa, where she’s a monstrous goddess born with the curious condition of mortality and not subject to the lust of Poseidon or the wrath of Athene. For my design I referenced the motif of the running gorgon, common on pottery in the mid-sixth century BCE depicting a rather broad and muscular looking figure in a short tunic. Funnily enough, I was also inspired by the tusks and physicality of half-orcs from DnD for her overall body type. I liked the idea of arranging her hair in an Aphrodite knot to give it some interest, and instead of wings I gave her some feathers on her arms to streamline her overall look (I find wings on upright quadrupeds to be a bit clunky).
i can attest most of the favors sabrina has payed out have been for cosmetic work and most of that is making people taller. we cant let them do that for themselves , gotta keep the jobs coming in
you cant let tzimisce/fleshcrafting get too common otherwise every ventrue would be 6'2 and we can't have that.
So ive started thinking about Sabrina's extend family recently, through the sire connection and being actually adopted by Mina and vlad. but the first of her family im roughing out, Luiminta a 12th gen tzimisce who is focused on Koldunic sorcery and is very good at it, tho shes isn't very good at any physical disciplines or Vicissitude a traditionalist but Sabrina has got her kinda addicted to the internet its all quite in the village till you start hearing Lumi in the distance singing meme songs, Red Flags by Tom Cardy was a real problem around Tzimisce that can actually make human centipede

Canon has been all over the place but I still think the yautja society is a matriarchal one. The women lounge about having lesbian trysts and keeping things running while the the men scurry about obsessed with their status and trophy count.
“Yes dear, enjoy your ‘hunting trip’ with the boys. Some of us have important things to do around here.”
This post was brought to you by lesbians who like giant buff alien ladies and wish there was some female yautja representation, hopefully, they would be happy to keep some of us as pets.
just to answer your question in the tags "is the base like a bike helmet or something?" nope its all made from scratch no base, i just carefully molded thermo plastic to my face and built off that, covered it all in foam clay and sculpted it up.
ive said a few times that im making a cosplay for Outis my yautja oc but i ive not posted any photos on tumbler. i have most of the build so far posted up on my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/blakes.cosplay/ for those that want to see. ive just got the paint job mostly done now and im going to add all the dreds in the next day or 2

If you think about it. The beckoning as written has a lot of fucked up orientalist connotations. Like, the elders are being summoned away to a war fought by their ancestors. Sure. But they had to backpedal from the whole "they're being summoned to the middle east" and then just kinda... didn't clarify what it meant for the gehenna war to be a global phenomenon. It's conceit as a narrative device relies solely on the elders vanishing into the savage desert and all that shit. It's just lazy writing amd we can do so much better.
It could be so interesting to have elders beckoned to strange places to fulfill some strange piece of a methuselah's goal. Just somebody stupidly powerful appearing one night in small town Alabama half delirious from the beckoning and believing that their sole purpose is to watch over the gas station and cast an esoteric amd seemingly nonsensical spell if they ever see a baby blue '68 El Camino pass through
Like. Get rid of the awful "disappear into the east" nonsense and do something interesting and appropriately alien with it.
