Poll: pin-up character choice
- Cleopatra Betty 62
- Medusa Betty 16
Help me decide.
Since 2025 is the year of the snake, MY YEAR, I want to celebrate it by making a collection of piunups who have a special relationship with a snake.
For Mary I chose Eve (naive and virgin, isolated in her paradise) with the tempting snake that offers her the apple.
For Miss Io I chose a Slytherin student, with maybe a baby basilisk (why not?)
And then there are Betty and Violet with two other characters but I really can't decide who to associate which one with!
Cleopatra and the asp: for Betty she would be ideal, she the queen, with that personality and all her important lovers... but how beautiful and sexy would a Cleo Violet be with her bob?
Medusa and her snake hair: she was a beautiful woman, the goddess Athena would have changed her, as punishment for having slept with (or been raped by) Poseidon in one of the temples dedicated to her. According to other versions, Athena was against Medusa because the latter had dared to compete with her in beauty.
Betty has a sad side to her story, she would fit well in the role, but imagine Violet talking to her snake friends, how cute she would be! You wouldn't think of the dramatic part, because Violet knows how to find the positive side of everything!
The interesting thing is that these 4 subjects represent 4 different supernatural beliefss and all 4 have an aura of mystery.
Eve character of the old testament, created by God.
Medusa, a myth of a polytheistic religion, cursed by a goddes.
Slytherin, a student that will become a magician, linked to the supernatural.
Cleopatra really existed but part of a spiritual culture, of polytheistic religion made of various gods and believer in the supernatural, she has become a myth anyway.
Interesting, uhu?
So, since I'm undecided about the pairings between these 2 characters, I'm opening one poll, and when one of the two choices for Betty wins, Violet will automatically be left with the discarded character.
Thank you!
