So… Pride Month. Tch, how come only Lucifer gets a month for his cardinal sin?! How dare the humans favor one over the others—!!
Sike, no, I’m aware what the month is truly about for you humans. Learning about it was… interesting. You see, in the Devildom, we don’t really care for the heteronormative standards, and your human ancestors didn’t either, last I checked. Seven cardinal sins cannot fully capture the darker side of morality, much as how seven holy virtues are insufficient to describe what it truly means to be good…
… Let alone having only two categories, to truly embody what it means to love, to want, or to not do so at all.
Anyway, labels are an accessory— optional, in the long run. It may accentuate your traits, help you feel more grounded in your being; if you think that’s what you need, then take your time, try things, and see what sticks. On the other hand, the absence of one gives you much room to flow like water from one stream to the next. We all need different things and thrive in different ways, is all.
There’s also really no one correct way to be anything— man, woman, both, neither, something else entirely. It doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you exist, that you are an embodiment of life before anything else. The beauty of humankind is its variety, a beauty that you were born from, with all the spectacles or without. No one can take that from you and you will not let them.
There is no race on who can figure themselves out first. To live your truth is a lifelong lesson, and every milestone deserves a celebration.
Oh and one more thing… This counts as your free “Punch a Queerphobe” card, from your beloved Avatar of Wrath. Use it wisely.
Happy Pride Month, everyone. 💚🏳️🌈
