When The Sun Loves The Moon - Thesis

Introducing Selene and Aurora. Selene is the goddess and caretaker of the moon, and Aurora reigns as the goddess of the sun. Sparks flew when they first touched. It was infatuation at first sight, and there’s so much history to be made.They hid their relationship at first, yearning for one another but knowing the leader of the pantheon, Time, would not approve. There had never been a gay relationship in the pantheon. It would break the status quo, and there’s nothing Time hated more than deviating from the “laws of the universe”.This kickstarter features 5 products centered around Selene and Aurora’s love. These products include wooden pins, keychains, stickers, and tapestries.The kickstarter has ended!
