DEMETER

~Greek Goddess of the Harvest, Agriculture, and the Fertility of the Earth~

Demeter is the sister to Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Hera and Hestia. She's the daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. And she is one of the Twelve Olympians.

While her most famous story is obviously the role she plays in the tale of Hades and Persephone she was a very powerful and revered Goddess in her own right.

One myth takes place during her search for Persephone. She went to the palace of King Celeus disguised as an old woman to ask him for shelter. The King welcomed her and only asked her to nurse his sons Demophon and Triptolemus. She decided to reward his kindness by making Demophon immortal. She fed the infant ambrosia and then laid him in the flames of a hearth to burn away his mortal self.

Before she was finished however Demophon's mother, Metanira, walked in and saw her son burning. She screamed in fright and Demeter had to reveal who she was. She decided to abandon the attempt to grant him immortality and instead took to teaching the other son, Triptolemus, the secrets of agriculture. He, in turn, is said to have taught humanity how to plant, grow, and harvest grain.




I felt that a Goddess of the Earth would be a good way to start off springtime. I figured a fun and youthful look would be fitting for her. As soon as I saw this jacket in the Bunny Hop Hunt I was just in love with the idea of using it for her.

Sorry for still not posting as regularly as even I'd like. between stress in real life and stress preparing different things for raiding in World of Warcraft I just have not had a moment to relax on here and just take pictures. I really do want to post more regularly soon. Might really push for two a week for a while, though not gonna promise anything.

Bought a Genus head the day before the sale was announced which I really shouldn't have, but I tend to overspend when I'm really depressed. So of course that stressed me out and I bought another head today to...feel better? I got the Genus Babyface 001 the other day and today I had meant to get the Babyface 002 but accidentally got the Strange 002. I didn't originally like it, but I have to say it's really growing on me. Might pick up Strange 001 later this week just cause...bad habits really. But we'll see.

I hope you're all well. Thank you so much for continuing to support me. I wish you all the best. Stay safe, wash your hands, and just keep doing things that make you happy in these strange and often scary times.
