Subject: Pride Month.

so... I know this is probably an akward time. but is there a pride month here? I figure Id ask since so many of us are from some version of earth.

I was looking forward to going to the one in New York City. it was supposed to be my first since you kno coming out.

just thoght Id ask.

Oh, also. I can preform any funeral rites needed. Im sorta a priest in that respect. I take last rites very seriously and will do my best to honor their beliefs.

I don't remember hearing about one last year. Probably wouldn't be a problem, though.

[refantasma]

I see. thats a little dissappointing.

[threebetrayals]

[refantasma]

Sender: Susato Mikotoba

[judicialassistant]

Oh. Is there something to be proud of in particular? [ She would've guessed that sealing the Story Eater would warrant some celebration, but then he mentions New York City. ]

And um, what are you coming out of, exactly?

[refantasma]

umm... being yourself.

I came out of the closet. well forced out. by cupid. still.

Pride Month? And what is that? A festival of some sort in your world? Do tell!

[Please tell him about the amazing gay festivities, he'll be HYPED.]

[refantasma]

uuh yeah theres a festival. and a parade. lots of people dressed in bright colors. shirts are apparently optiotinal

its a celebration of identity. and freedom.

I have experience working as a consultant to a funeral parlour, so should you be in need of assistance carrying out any funeral rites, I would be happy to assist.

Though, I am curious as to this pride month you speak of. Is it some sort of festival from your world?

[refantasma]

any help would be apperciated

it is. its a month about history and stuff for lgbt+ peoples and celebrating their - our identities

in the city Im from theres a big parade every year for it. and then some festivals? Will said there like a one for everyone and then one geared towards youth. I think NYC is the only city does that thou. everywhere else just has one.

Sender: Prompto Argentum

[chocobosnap]

Is there?? Pride is so fun! It's always a good time.

[refantasma]

it was going to be my first time going. Im kinda bummed Im missing it.

sender: beat

[stillarhino]

hold up theres an entire month??

[He knows of pride, but this is the first time he's heard of it lasting a month.]

[refantasma]

yeah. in the US anyway. its not like a month long festival. theres a weekend in most cities. New York has two. a general one and one for kids.

Sender: Zelda

Well, I've known dreamwalkers of many different worlds to take pride in all sorts of things year round, but I am not aware of any particular month dedicated in recognition.

[ Reading it back... that doesn't really sound like what he's talking about. ]

But I suspect I may have misunderstood. What do you take pride in this month, in your homeland?

[refantasma]

no. in your identity if you aren't cis/straight? not that theres anything wrong with that. it just

theyre considered normal. and those of us who arent needed a voice. and this is our celebration of finding that voice? Im not sure of all the details.

Sender: Asura

[abyssbound]

[ Chalk up another one for 'a what month?' Poor Nico, sharing a dream world with so many people not from modern times. ]

Is that some kind of festival?

[refantasma]

[Oh boy. He underestimated how many people didn't know what pride was.]

it sorta is. like, theres a parade and food and stuff for a weekend. the rest of the month is supposed to be about the history of how far lgbt+ peoples have come to recognized as 'not wrong'

Sender: Link

[timesensitive]

Pride...month? Is it a kind of celebration?

[Yet another person who isn't familiar with modern things.]

Re: Sender: Link

[refantasma]

my hand is starting to hurt

yeah. one weekend is a festival the rest of the month is about history. and about being proud of who you are. even- especially if you arent normal.

[helluvaboss]

lol I gotta grab angel to get these peeps on ur post look @ all these peeps that dont even kno how fuckin cool it is to kno ur own shit

[refantasma]

i... kinda thot more people would know. but im not exactly a people person so I guess I miscalculated.

Sender: Angel Dust

[itsytitsyspider]

[Someone call?]

If not, there totally should be. I say we bring a bit of culture to Reverein~

I didn't get to celebrate it when I was alive cause it didn't exist. Being gay wasn't something to be proud about back then.

But fuck 'em. Life is too short. We should host a little celebration for all the baby nugglets. Teach them a thing or two~

[refantasma]

how did you make the writing pink?

it wasnt something to be proud of in the era I grew up in either. yay for time travel.

so. you know a lot? I just came out like five months ago.

sender: link

[skyglider]

[Hmm. He's never heard of this, but reading some of the other responses, he's starting to get an idea of what it's for. But he's still trying to wrap his head around the rest, so--]

How does one celebrate something like that?

[refantasma]

from what Ive been told. lots of colors, rainbows, and apparently shirtless is encouraged.

sender: sora

[oathkeeper]

pride and funerals in one post huh, nico?

sounds like a great party we should have a pride party!

[refantasma]

saves time. I didnt want to make two posts.

... itd be nice.

Sender: 76

[steadypulse]

New York does then to go all out.

Doing alright dealing with possibly awkward questions about what Pride is?

[refantasma]

your names a number?

yeah. I thought most people were from someplace like my earth. but I was wrong.

a lot those places dont seem to care. makes me jealous.

Sender: Ken Amada

[whatsamada]

I heard about it on the internet before.

Isn't it something about celebrating those who are attracted to boys and girls?

[refantasma]

really? Ive never been on the internet so I dont know.

something like that. boys who like boys and girls like girls and people who like both.

sender: percy jackson

[judoflipped]

oh good question

i mean i bet we can do something here too right? even if they don't currently do anything

[please don't be mad at him still please don't be mad at him still please don't be mad at him still]

[refantasma]

[He is, much less so after he beat the snot out of Cupid, but he can play it down.]

Sora and I are setting something up.

Sender: Gen Asagiri

[fun_thementalist]

oh! I always *adored* the pride celebrations they had in America, they were always so bright and vibrant!!

even after everything which happened, my friend - I wonder, perhaps we should throw something like that here? it might help cheer people up, wouldn't you think?

[refantasma]

Soras running forward to setting one up. and im helping but i think its going to mostly him running the show.

but yes! pleas help! i have no idea what im doing and soras ... sora.

[rudehero]

[Poor Nico. Another 'what's that?' coming at him, but this is still before Yuri's time, too.]

What's a pride month? Can't you be prideful any month?

[HE'S TRYING HIS BEST TO UNDERSTAND...........]

[refantasma]

[Nico's wondering why these people just can't read the earlier responses.]

pride month is usually in June for reasons I dont know.

its a month for people of the lgbt+ community to celebrate our identity.

[And because this happened with Zhongli]

lgbt+ stands for lesbian gay bisexual and transgender. plus stands for other groups that aren't hetero and or cis. i dont know what cis means tho
