Subject: Sin Celebration Months?

Apologies in advance for my ignorance, but these large ears of mine overheard discussion of a month-long celebration of the sin of Pride. Flipping through previous journal messages, I saw someone's question regarding whether or not Reverein celebrates it.

Well, that got me curious because we haven't had any variant of King Lucifer appear in quite some time. If this were the Pride Ring in Hell, I'd understand it, but I'd no idea that other worlds filled with the living celebrated the Deadly Sins!

What months are for the other six? We used to have avatars of Greed and Wrath, so they might be flattered to have their month-long celebrations should they ever return. It never hurts to get on the good side of a Deadly Sin's avatar!

I, for one, am entirely for a Wrath Month.

Would Lust Month be February for Valentione's?

You as well? I started to hear something about a month of Pride here and there. It makes me wonder if it means being proud of one's accomplishments for a moment!

But it sounds like a delightful idea! Perhaps Sloth Month is for a month of no work?

It's

complicated. It's largely an American thing. And it's not... Pride as you would understand it.

Somehow, I don't think Satan would be very enthused about you throwing a celebration in his honor.

hi. I was the one asking.
if it makes you feel better lots of people in the real world think its a sin to show pride in our... sins.

its a rebellion basically. since this celebration started with a riot. at least thats what Im told happened.

I've always been a huge, huge fan of Gluttony, but isn't that in every little celebration?

I've been seeing that it's apparently about pride in celebrating one's sexuality...

... not that I understand it very well even with that explanation. I have never liked or been that interested in that type of intimacy, so perhaps I am not the best person for celebrating such things.

[why have sex when you could have a nap instead, says fairy tale girl who has yet to discover the term for asexuality... speaking of which--]

A month for Sloth could be nice. Everyone can just relax and sleep instead of being so busy with exhausting tasks.

Do you think Greed would be satisfied with just one month?

Also, Pride in this case is for a marginalized group of individuals who identify as enjoying the pleasurable company of those not purely heterosexual.

One could argue that October could represent Gluttony given the amount of candy that children like to consume on Halloween.
