Modest Medusa (Webcomic) | comment |
Modest Medusa is a webcomic written by Jake Richmond and featured on The Duck, although it got its own website on July 29, 2011.On the night before Christmas, Jake comes home and finds that the toilet has overflowed and flooded his bedroom. While moving his stuff to a different room, he finds a gorgon child hiding in the closet. Because she cannot return to the land she came from, Jake and his niece Marah have to take care of her.The comic starts here and shares a universe with Ghost Kiss.It spawned a Kickstarter funded RPG, The Magical Land Of Yeld about children who pass through a mysterious door and find themselves trapped in the world of Yeld. A series of miniatures were also funded through a campaign. | |

Alternate Timeline | |
Modest Medusa (Webcomic) / int_19b6f396 | comment |
Alternate Timeline: The Tower of Autumn is connected to several timelines and said to allow travel to 100 worlds. While looking for the Arsenal of Winter, Marah meets the keeper to explains the different outcomes and offers her a chance to slip into a timeline where her counterpart is missing. She also encounters to adult versions of herself, one who chose to return to Earth and the other who kept wondering Yeld rather than facing the Prince. They try to talk her out of fighting him, as all the other Marahs who tried that died. | |

Modest Medusa (Webcomic) / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Marah, based on her experience with videogame and RPG depictions of vaguely medieval fantasy kingdoms, assumes that copper coins are the currency of Yeld. So she brings a bag of pennies, and is surprised when no one will accept them as payment. | |

All There In Themanual: A significant amount of information about Yeld can be found in The Magical Land Of Yeld. This includes information about the different races, the war between the Deep and the Prince, the origin of the different aquatic races, and much more. This includes the death of the Prince years before it was revealed in the main comic. It's really more like 15 manuals at this point. | |

Creatures by Many Other Names: With a bit of Call a Pegasus a "Hippogriff", the titular character's species is referred to as "hydra" by the Prince of Yeld. Modest's mother's name is Gorgon, and her daughters all call themselves Medusa until they decide that's too confusing. They're mostly just the author's own invention. | |

Sore Loser: The Prince after Mara manages to draw first blood and win their fight. He pretty much goes ballistic on her afterward only stopped when the Drudge Angel threatens to interfere if he doesn't cease. | |

Our Mermaids Are Different: They smoke, can use "the magic of their pure hearts" to grow legs, and are, at least initially, dicks. But the green one ends up getting a lot of Character Development. | |

Wham Episode | |
Modest Medusa (Webcomic) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: The introduction of Medusa's mother. "The Kingdom Strikes Back". In rapid succession, Medusa's mother corners the heroes with both her chainsaw unicorn and vampire knights, Marah's weapon is destroyed, Urano, their strongest ally, dies, and Medusa willingly goes back to her mother to avoid anyone else being killed. Literally the only positive aspect of this arc is that Urano apparently transferred his power of the Oath Breaker to Marah just before he died. "Home". Marah fights the Prince in a duel to first blood. She manages to beat him moments before he all-but cuts her in half, killing her. "Return to Yeld". Modest visits her sisters who are in the care of her aunt, Naga. While visiting Naga's cave with the first of her sisters to transform Modest learns the startling truth: because she has 'boy hair' she will NOT turn into a giant snake. Instead she is a rare type of medusa that will simply grow up, becoming a woman with snake hair and a snake lower half, skilled with spells and able to help her sisters have children. When battling one of the Prince's goons Modest FINALLY taps into her magic... and creates a Pikachu that battles and defeats her enemy. Finally, with Aunt Naga dead, all hope looks lost until Marah, now a Drudge Angel herself, arrives and resurrects her. She then later reveals that she can't return home yet but that Modest will see her again. | |

He's unbothered by sunlight, but he doesn't sparkle. Marah becomes one herself after inheriting his power as the Oath Breaker. | |

The only thing that ends up happening to him is that he gets a slightly bruised ego, but he's still the ruler of Yeld, so countless innocent people are going to be oppressed. Not to mention the whole killing Mara thing. Later, however, her death is shown to have lasting consequences to his reign. | |

Medusa: Guess who. In an aversion to the standard portrayal, she's prepubescent, cute, but very socially awkward. And it's not her eyes that petrify things, it's her hair-snakes' venom. The medusa is actually the larval stage of a hydra. When they're young and cute, their human sides are in charge. But, as the snakes grow, the human part of them shrivels up and dies like an unneeded limb. | |

Shout-Out | |
Modest Medusa (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To the first season finale of Heroes here. "It's a secret to everyone." One arc is called "The Kingdom Strikes Back". And just like the Star Wars movie, it ends with a complete victory for the villains and utter defeat for the heroes. Of course just like Star Wars, the heroes are down but not out. The series in general references popular culture left and right, most notably Pokémon. This can be as mundane and literal as standing in line for the latest Pokemon game release, or as epic and fantastical as Medusa's magic manifesting as Pikachu. | |

No Name Given: The medusa is only known as "the medusa" or, less often, "Medusa". This was only practical because she was the only medusa present... until she got back home and met her dozens of sisters, all of which were apparently named "Medusa", too. This is just in time for her mother to reveal her real name: Modest. | |

Our Monsters Are Weird | |
Modest Medusa (Webcomic) / int_d42fb539 | comment |
Our Monsters Are Weird: Medusa's species' (Yeld's equivalent of an hydra) life cycle and biology are kind of weird. To begin with, they share their intellect with their snakes. The human body deliberately invokes cuteness as a defense mechanism. As they grow up, it is progressively discarded for a giant snake body. In the process, hydras keep memories and sapience, but lose emotions and feelings. If they need a male partner or not to reproduce is left deliberately ambiguous. And while they normally biologically expire rather early, they can sustain their existence practically forever... if they eat right. | |

Toilet Humor: It starts with Jake's toilet getting backed up thanks to the Medusa. And goes on from there. | |

Good Smoking, Evil Smoking | |
Modest Medusa (Webcomic) / int_dab2f3ee | comment |
Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Both of the mermaids are cigarette smokers, and jerks. However, Marah's mother is pretty cool, despite also smoking them. | |

Ear Ache: A fairy takes an arrow to the ear in Yeld-centric chapter. It's just as painful as it sounds. | |

Male Gaze: The Medusa's hair snakes fall victim to this. This is foreshadowing as to their evil nature. | |

Reptiles Are Abhorrent | |
Modest Medusa (Webcomic) / int_e24d2d5c | comment |
Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Generally averted. Played straight with Medusa's mother's snake hair. The eventual fate of all hydrae is to have their morals shrivel up and die with the rest of them, until only the snakes remain. | |

Talking to the Dead: In times of stress, Modest likes to talk to an imaginary Marah. However, it turns out that it was actually the snake inside of her starting to take over. | |

Running Gag | |

Running Gag: Medusa's hair eating things she's holding. Lampshaded and subverted in this strip, where a hair snake steadfastly refuses to eat the ghost residue Medusa has. | |
