Karpos and Kalamos. They're actually both dead now and living in the Underworld but I wanted to draw their colors so. Karpos is Zephyrus' child and Kalamos is the son of a river god, but they're both demigods, ultimately mortal. Mythologically, they were lovers; Kalamos challenged Karpos to a swimming contest (in his father's river, ironically), but Karpos ended up accidentally drowning. In his grief, Kalamos purposely drowned himself to join Karpos in the afterlife, and was also turned into reeds by his father in HIS grief.
So. Yeah. We've been playing a bunch of the flower shades (literally, shades of people who have died and been turned into plants, thus committing them to an eternity of garden tending in Elysium), and these are two of the ones I've grabbed.
(i drew Krokos too but I have no idea where I put the picture fgfgfg so I need to find it or redraw it ugh stay tuned eventually)
