So I'd been building up this little collection over time, wondering when I might best introduce it, when it hit me today that, holy heck-- it's Pride Month, after all!

Me, I've been pretty fascinated with ancient Greek and other pantheons since I was a sprat. At one point in my early journals, I even ascribed actions of mine to various Greek gods, like Helios the Sun god, Apollo, Janus, and Athena...

The things we once held dear as kids, amirite? :S
