Antonio Canova’s Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss

If I had a nickel for everytime I made a post referencing a Thai BL drama to the story (and art) of Cupid & Psyche, I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

@forcebook - that ATOTS post was like my top one in 2021 around the time “dramas” became one of my major tags and I started engaging more in all of that here on tumblr. Nice trip down memory lane
