Kayshon comes out as queer
Wasn't Narsissus aromantic, right up the point of being punished? Although I have to admit I'm not super up to date on the myths finer details.
I thought he was autosexual/romantic, if anything. This is the "stare into the water admiring his own face until he dies" guy, right?
The whole story is that Narsissus was ridiculously handsome and any woman would be overjoyed to have him. But he was way too busy enjoying nature, hunting and doing other non-sexual stuff to start a relationship with anyone.
Then the nimph Echo fell madly in love with him, but he didn't care much about that. So, in unrequited love she fled to a cave where she wanted away, only her voice remaining.
Depending on which myth you read, either this, or him denying some other woman is why Aphrodite decided to punish him to fall in love with his own reflection in the stream. Which is doubly insulting, since Narsissus' dad is basically the god of rivers.
The point is, he was aromatic until he was cursed by the gods for it.
