Welcome to the mysterious and magical land of Hatchetfield, where fantastical creatures coexist with humans, even if not harmoniously.

This is an ask blog for a Nerdy Prudes Must Die Gorgon AU. Before anything else, lets dive into the main characters.

The Gorgons

Stephanie Lauter - Transfemme, bisexual, demigod queen. After disobeying her Godly Father during his trails to make her powerful he curses her to be a gorgon. Her snakes are Brazilian Rainbow Boas.

Ruth Fleming - Transfemme bisexual. Her parents had disrespected a god who cursed their unborn child, after being born a gorgon they abandoned her and she was raised by satyrs. She was all alone until she found Steph and Grace. Her snakes are Axanthic conda morph Hognoses.

Grace Chasity - Cis, lesbian. She was a priestess to a virgin goddess and while trying to figure out her sexuality she lost her virginity to a man inside the goddesses temple, getting her cursed as a gorgon and banished. Her snakes are Diamondback Rattlesnakes.

Richard Lipschitz - Transmasc and aroace. He was being forced into a marriage he didn't want and he begged for the gods to save him, one of them took pity on the boy and "cursed" him as a gorgon, being the only gorgon of the group who was happy about the situation. His snakes are Blue Eyed Leucistic Ball Pythons.

The Humans

Maxwell Jägerman - Cis, pansexual, demigod. While making his name as a hero he was tasked by Ruth's parents to kill their wicked monster of a son, but when he arrived all he found was a beautiful woman.

Peter Spankoffski - Transmasc and bisexual. Pete was ordered to get snake venom from a gorgon in order to save his brother Ted from being wrongfully imprisoned, only to meet and fall in love with Steph.

THE SHIP PAIRINGS ARE LAUTSKI, MAX+RUTH+GRACE, AND RICHIE IS AROACE UNINTERESTED IN DATING.

1, 2, 3: All these asks are spoilery, I’m so sorry :(

4: That’s up on my Patreon right now so probably not.

5: That sounds like a bug, I’ll look into.

1 You’re spot on for M! They’re not very in touch with “proper relationships”. K doesn’t mind as much. They’re a lot more upfront with their emotions, and their romance will progress much faster. I could also see it for C, although that’s more of double one-sided pining or just bad circumstances + pining.

2 Ahh yeah, that’s very accurate for the dynamic, actually! Unfortunately (maybe fortunately, idk) if you bring up the idea, he’ll refuse...

3 You’re welcome, I’m glad that works for you :) 

4 Thank you so much; it’s an issue with my labelling and it’ll be fixed when I release chapter four!

5 Ahahah “Mor” masochistic. I’ll see myself out. But they can be a softie if they feel like it, let me tell you that XD.

1 Aww thank you! You guys are so kind :)

2 You can meet her if you take the path without M or A in the first chapter.

3 Ahahah yes. I’m actually hoping to reference this when you meet Persephone :)

4 “I would not start with beating them up unless they suggest a friendly competition. Instead, you might want to...”

5 Okay, so I’ve been stuck on this for a couple days now, and I just... don’t really have anyone. Maybe once I finish the book, I’ll look into either commissioning something or making my own something on art breeder, but for right now I have no clue.

1 Sorry for getting to this so late! You meet them in the current demo.

2 “Mor doesn’t push people away... they gently nudge them over a cliff.” - Kai

3 Sometimes they’re also both!

4 Sure, that would work. Thank you!

1 Thank you! And I’m so glad they’re getting some love. For right now, the most popular RO seems to be Mor on here (and Patreon), but I’m ~hoping~ that chapter four (three I couldn’t help but fall in love with Kai, oops) will give those two some love too.

2 I identify as female and use she/her pronouns! 

3 Hi! I tweeked the wording a little so I hope it works better for next update. Thanks for the feedback!

4 She sends you one back :) and asks me when you can see each other again. I laugh evilly.

5 Okay, so I’ve gotten several theories in my inbox, and I do love them (even though I don’t think I gave out enough information for theories). That said, I really wanted to respond to this one in particular because I wanted to promise that the first book, or the major conflict of the first book, will be seen at the end of chapter three and is not what you think. The other stuff you said was on point, though, anon.

1 He’d resurrect you just to kill you again <3

2 I’m doing well, thanks for asking! I went out recently (grocery store :)) which was exciting after being home for two weeks. How are you?

3 *sweats in typo*

In all seriousness, the “romance” bars are supposed to start after the lock-in point. But Mor’s brain would 110% be attempting to suppress any and all attraction that’s not purely physical anyways, so you’re not wrong anon!

4 Again, no. I’m just not really one of those creative-type authors. I love coding, so Tumblr themes fascinate me, but other than that all I can really do is put words on a page. Maybe once I get deep enough into the story I might come up with something, but for now I just listen to my “humanities” playlist that I use for school as well when I write (if I listen to anything at all). If anyone has any suggestions, I’ll be happy to compile a list, however!

5 Thank you for the comment! You’re not bothering me at all, and I appreciate both the kind words and the typo corrections. Hope you’re doing well :)

1) Aww thank you! I’m glad people are starting to enjoy her more.

2) I’m sorry, but I genuinely don’t know the first thing about Tarot. Maybe I’ll look into it later?

3) None of the ROs are virgins, and their reactions can be found here.

4) Ugh, I knowwww I absolutely adored it and he’s genuinely one of my favs. I rewatch it sm when I feel like I need it lmao.

5) Aww thank you, I feel the same way! I’m glad you’re enjoying him.
