GG: we should go!
GA: Jade If You Dont Mind My Interjection What Exactly Is A Pride Parade
CG: IS THIS ANOTHER STUPID FUCKING USELESS EARTH CUSTOM THAT EVERYONE DECIDED TO RESURRECT HERE OR SOMETHING.
CG: BECAUSE BILLIOUS SLICK FORBID WE EVER BRING ANYTHING FROM TROLL CULTURE INTO A WORLD 1/4TH POPULATED BY MY LITERAL SPECIES.
GG: Not to play devil's advocate, Karkat, but is there really anything you actually want to incorporate from Alternian culture into Earth C societal habits?
TG: quadrants dont count

TT: Sorry, Rox.
GT: Yes we shall all pipe down now!
TG: GOOD
TG: as i was saying
TG: so pride is this event where ppl who arent straight or whatever come 2gether and celebrate being super cool and awesome
TG: and i mean look at how many of us arent straight lmao
TG: or what they call cis
TG: idk what that means but anyway
TG: so like girls like alta june n lara
TG: boys like onyx n dirk
TG: peeps like me jade callie n jane
TG: stuff like that
GA: Is It Only For Humans
GG: no no no no of course not! :0
GG: roxy just gave that as an example since so many of us *are* humans
GG: but trolls and carpaces and consorts are always welcome too!
UU: ahem...
GG: and cherubs obviously
GG: davepeta said that this is about diversity and positivity and celebrating who you are which everyone should be allowed to do!!!!!
GG: and even if you fear you dont fit under the label you can always come to support your friends and family too
GA: Well That Sounds Rather Exquisite
GA: Alright Jade Youve Convinced Me I Think Id Love To Give It A Try
GA: Onyx My Beloved I Think This Could Be A Wonderful Threesome Between You Me And Tavros
GA: Oh Dear He Appears To Have Fallen Back Asleep
TT: Did you just say threesome?
GA: Yes Is That Not What That Is
GA: Alta Told Me The Term And I Think It Is Rather An Appropriate Description Of Our Situation And Relationship Status
TG: lmao
TT: Do you always listen to Alta?
GA: Why What Is Wrong With It
TG: nothing absolutely nothing kanaya my lovely future sister in law
TG: theyre just being stupid
TT: I'm too tired for this, I'm going to drop the matter for now.
TT: But I wouldn't mind at least checking out the celebrations, even if I don't outright march in the parade. Would do me some good to get out of the house, I suppose.
GT: I can vouch for that!
TT: Lara...
GT: What? Am i wrong? You are such a shut in no matter how many times i try to convince you to go on a dalliance with me and its quite infuriating!
EB: guys, come on! don't do this again!
TT: Do *what*!?
EB: that thing where you start pitch flirting while insisting that it's *not* pitch flirting and then it's awkward for the rest of us.
GT: June my dearest ectodaughter that is a load of baloney if ive ever heard one!
TG: can we focus on whos gonna come 2 the parade and who hates joy and whimsy and would rather be a mopey dopey or whatevs
TG: obvs im gonna be there and june is gonna be my super awesome date
EB: hell yeah i am!
GG: ill be there too with davepeta! theyre running a booth and then marching in the parade so i get to join them
TT: I'll watch from the sidelines.
TG: boo u whore
GG: I will admit parades have always quite intimidated me, but I'm sure there will be plenty of other things I can take enjoyment in! Alta, would you like to accompany me?
TG: well i cant leave you by yourself because then randos will come in and start hitting on the sexiest person in earth c
TG: and i gotta be like yo thats my partner youre trying to mack on
TG: back off homie
GG: Hoo hoo hoo! You always flatter me!
GT: Arquius and i will definitely be there in a jiffy the second we can possible get it!
GA: Onyx Is In The Shower Right Now But I Proposed The Question And He Said He Would Like To Attend
GA: I Will Troll Tavros Later To Confirm His Attendance Too
UU: i woUld absolUtely love to go! ^u^
UU: and it woUld be charming to have a date by my side...
CG: ARE YOU REALLY DOING THIS RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW?
UU: when else shall i do it? the topic is still perfectly fresh and relevant!
EB: come on karkat, don't be a weenie!
GG: yeah we'd love to have you there! :)
CG: ALRIGHT FINE.
CG: BUT YOU CAN'T EXPECT ME TO ENJOY IT.
CG: THE TROLL KINGDOM IS THE LITERAL FUCKING WORST WHEN IT COMES TO CROWDS AND BEING SQUISHED BY TOTAL PERVS ON THOSE STREETS MAKES ME WANT TO WAIL LIKE A BABY BAABEAST AND TEAR MY HORNS OUT TO BE STOMPED ON BY RANDOM WEIRDOS.
GG: don't be so dramatic! it won't be that awful!
TG: feels like youre making a big deal outta nothing dude
TG: just chill out eat a smoothie or something and enjoy the fun
TG: jade theres smoothies right
GG: i believe so!
TG: alright awesome
CG: SUFFERER ON A BITCHASS CRACKER I SAID I'M COMING ALREADY.
UU: that's the ticket! ^u^
