Hi, it's me again, and I know that asking everyone questions at once can kind of be a bad idea sometimes or most of the times, but...

I went to the store to prepare for this whole feast thing, and I was offered something free for... For pride? It made rainbows follow me, and I don't see what that has to do with being proud, so there's definitely something here that I'm missing. When I asked the shopkeep they went on about flags and representation, but I didn't really get it.

So... Is there anyone who wants to explain that to me, and am I the only one confused by this?

I am?

No, why would this be a joke?

[prismatically]

cos people post dumb stuff online sometimes And I Fall For It

[ But this is the guy from last time, huh... so he probably means it. ]

Anyway!!! They gave you free stuff cos it's Pride Month! it's like a big month long celebration. do you guys not have it in ur world?

[monostich]

Is this stupid?

I've never heard of anything like this before, no, so I imagine it must not be a thing... Or if it is, it wasn't important enough for me to hear about.

[prismatically]

nope... don't worry about it. I'M the stupid one here [ followed by a whole wall of downcast emojis.

she perks up pretty quick, though, so she's clearly just goofin'. ]

ANYWAY!! it's kind of wild to think that you've never heard of it before BUT now that you have u get to have fun and try it out for the first time!! ngl i'm a little jelly that your first pride is in a cool place like this lol

[monostich]

I wouldn't consider you stupid.

[He... He doesn't get the goof... RIP.]

So you've celebrated this pride thing in your home? Was it fun? I'm not sure if it exists where I'm from at all or what it would be like.

[prismatically]

yup!! i've only been twice, but both times it was a lot of fun! they can be different for different towns and cities and stuff but in my town, it's a big parade/march kinda thing that goes around town and then ends at this sort of festival setup with live music and merch and food tents and stuff.

i really like it a lot! but if you don't like being around a ton of people you might not be down for it

[monostich]

Being around a lot of people at once can be very strange, but it's not... A bad thing? I think. I'm not sure.

It does sound rather interesting, though. Maybe it would be nice to see one day.

[prismatically]

well it lasts for the whole month! So you'll defs get the chance if u decide you wanna check it out

or if u don't wanna go on your own we could check it out together!

[monostich]

Going together might be a good idea... It might be a bit overwhelming if it's just me and a bunch of strangers.

FOR REAL. i'm probably the most extroverted person in the universe but being surrounded by people you don't know at a big thing like pride is kind of terrifying LOL. but going with friends is super fun!! just lmk when you're free and we can work some stuff out and give it a try!
