#greek mythos

“Endymion the shepherd,
As his flock he guarded,
She, the Moon, Selene,
Saw him, loved him, sought him,
Coming down from heaven
To the glade on Latmus,
Kissed him, lay beside him.
Blessed is his fortune.
Evermore he slumbers,
Tossing not nor turning,
Endymion the shepherd.”

From the third-century poet Theocritus.

iris and the harpies aëllope, celaeno, and ocypete

Hi everyone! 

We’re back at it again with a NEW PIN KICKSTARTER~~ This time for a set of underworld pins looking a little like this:

That’s right we unlocked the FULL SET already!! 

BUT WAIT.  We also have a SECOND SET we’re looking to unlock and we’re JUST TWO PINS SHY of unlocking the entire Titans Set:

I MAY be adding two to this set though (Helios & Selene) if we can hit the last two stretch goals tonight/before tomorrow morning I may consider it ;>

We also have three new Cursed Humans to add to the set (to match Icarus, Circe and Medusa from the previous Kickstarter).  Those are not up on the campaign just yet. I’m waiting until this set is unlocked before revealing them~~

(You can find a link to the project on my page, Tumblr is being weird and suppressing my posts because they’ve had links before so I’m trying one without in the hopes it reaches a few more people this way)!

Any project boosts, reblogs and spreading the project through word of mouth would be SUPER helpful!  We only have 14 days to unlock as much as we can!!

BACK THE PROJECT HERE~~

We’re $22 shy of unlocking Hecate!!!

HECATE UNLOCKED. We’re now only $275 shy of unlocking STYX!!!

$83 away from unlocking STYX!!!

_{sometimes she returns to the sea, even now. in the passenger side of lovers’ cars or gazing from the balconies of bright motels, she watches the beach grass sway and the waves roll to the shoreline in cycle. you’ll find her at the boardwalk waiting to be kissed at the the peak of the ferris wheel, or beneath canted umbrellas, tilting her shades down the bridge of her nose as someone just as lovely passes by. the world may change – but she does not.}
