I'm Black Native and Afro-Indigenous; my gender identity is nonbinary and genderfluid, and in context with me discovering and reclaiming gender identities and gender expression descriptors from my Native/Indigenous culture and especially from specific Indigenous groups in my blood, I'm nadleehi (Navajo/Diné), asegi udanto (Tsalagi), sxints (Nuxalk), atsione (Tsalagi) and dilbaa (Navajo/Diné again). (I also have extensive heritage from Algonquin, Lakota, Blackfoot, Métis, Iroquois, Seminole, Nêhiyaw, Mi'kmaw, etc. and many, many, many, many other tribes.)

Then on top of that, I found out I was born intersex which I found out later in life, which along with me learning the history of how Native Americans have often held intersex folks, androgynous folks, feminine males and masculine females in high respect has been a very healing and enlightening part of my journey, culturally and expression wise.

In fact, I've been thinking about how American western culture fixates on sex and gender way too much and mainly in context of forcing colonialist eurowestern gender boxes on folks, especially black and indigenous folks, forcing labels or labelessness on us too often. And as an Afro-indigenous woman/femme, I've already been in the process of deprogramming from colonialist gender norms and reconnecting with my blackness and my Native/Indigenous American and Indigenous/Aboriginal roots, and at times my gender expression and identity intersects with that. Lily Gladstone (who uses she and singular they pronouns) worded it perfectly as decolonizing gender and that's the journey I've been on, and a journey that I'm still on as it's ever evolving and increasingly more nuanced and complex.

Anyways, I just wanna say that I love you guys, I see you and I wanna send out as much love, light and warmth to many of you as possible. 💕💕

Athens was a city in Greece not known for its winters. It was more common to be soaked to the bone in rainy training clothes than bundling up in shabby coats. However, this was a special occasion. Seven to eight inches of snow, and the young, newly announced Gold Saints couldn't resist a taste of childhood they would be forced to forget as they protected Athena. 

Saga couldn't help but smile, looking down at the new Aquarius Saint snuggled up against his side. Camus had found him early in the afternoon, insisted that just this once, Saga should play. He couldn't say no to such an innocent request from the boy. 

7 Deadly Sin Headcanons [Sure thing! ouo] sxints

Lust: a headcanon about your character’s romantic and/or sexual life

Valentine’s sexual life is pretty much non-existent due to his wish to comply to every order at the best of his possibilities, even when he’s not ‘supposed’ to. He’s a prideful man, one that would hardly step lower and that considers a big nono all those things that might make him feel as a lesser being or that he thinks of as ‘degrading’- This often prevented him from even using his hand to get rid of uncomfortable builded up tension. He’d really have someone else do it, if he could.

Greed: a headcanon about something your character hordes or collects

Valentine has no wish to clog up his quarters with useless things, but I am sure he’d be one of those people collecting different flavours of their favourite beverage. Hot Pepper Ho Chocolate, anyone?

Pride: a headcanon about something your character is a bit cocky about

His position. He doesn’t like to boast, but he will subtly or right out point out to anyone that he’s still Rhadamantys’ Lieutenant and that he should be treated as such. Side eyeing for Pandora.

Gluttony: a headcanon about food or obsessions

I think I can say that his obsession is to do everything perfectly. He wishes for perfection, even knowing that he can hardly achieve it: that makes him nervous, picky and at times flat-out irritable. He wants to be the finest soldier.

Wrath: a headcanon about your character and their anger management

Valentine is the perfect example of someone who rarely loses his calm and, if he does, it’s serious business. He is collected, cunning and silently plotting your demise, but if something goes badly awry, if someone is in danger, he might flip.

Envy: a headcanon about your character’s secret desires and jealousies

Kiss meme (I am sure these are from Camus. //smacked)
