... and narcissus, which Gaia, pleasing the All-receiver, made blossom there, by the will of Zeus, for a girl with a flower’s beauty.

Thank you! I will. It's just that I'm struggling with writer's block and artist's block and don't have much to post right now.

Ah, like in the myth. Persephone lured in to pluck the flowers.

"They're so pretty," Persephone comments. "Course, given he was such a douche, at least he was a decent flower. Nemesis does good work."

Yep. ^^

For some reason I often forget that many of the flowers in Greece were believed to once have been people. XD

Hyancith was Apollo's ex lover, a horrible Frisbee accident.

Pretty... though I guess that's what Narcissus would've wanted XD

...and it all began with that self-absorbed guy.... Too bad he missed out on Persephone, then again I imagine he's not too keen on the competition.

Hehe! I actually keep forgetting that many of the flowers in Greece were believed to once have been people.

Very nice. The flowers look very pretty. I don't mean to change the subject, but how many other accounts do you have on other websites. I am trying to diversify where I am watching artists due to Eclipse.

Thank you!
I have a tumblr account (a-gnosis). And that's pretty much it. I've also posted my comics on Smack Jeeves (Theia Mania), but I'm thinking of moving them somewhere else since I don't like how Smack Jeeves became after it was redesigned.
