Sam

Would you go to a Pride party with me?



Dani

Is life good for you right now? I hope so.


I've been tattooing a ton of rainbows and Pride flags this month, and I'm very, very happy.

Possibly. What happens at a Pride party?

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

A lot of drinking and dancing and making out. At least the ones I've been to.

Re: Oliver

[nola_cyclops]

Tell me about the last one you went to.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

You sure?

Re: Oliver

[nola_cyclops]

I'm sure!

Re: Oliver

It was like a Pride bar crawl thing, going from house party to house party. The drinks ranged from great to awful (so many melting rainbow Jello shots) but the music was fantastic. I don't remember who I went with, but eventually I bonded with a woman over being bi (her descriptor) and we hooked up, it was nice. Then her girlfriend came home and discovered agreeing to talk about possibly opening up their relationship was taken as "this is open right now" by new friend, and there was a lot of cry-fighting while I awkwardly got dressed. It was not a great Pride!

That sure sounds like a terrible Pride, but I also like knowing this story because it's about you. I'll go to a party with you, but I don't want to compromise your fun, either, by being historically Not Good At Parties in all of my pasts.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

Will you sway with me in a corner?

Re: Oliver

[nola_cyclops]

Of course I will.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

That's all it'll take to make it the best Pride of my life.

Re: Oliver

[nola_cyclops]

And if you need to go be the life of the party, I'll watch you admiringly.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

Like I'd be able to tear myself away from you.

Re: Oliver

[nola_cyclops]

You're sweet. What do you wear to Pride parties? When I say you I mean you specifically, not a generic you.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

I have a tank top printed with little rainbows that I like to pull out for such occasions. Then I usually add bright red shorts to match.

Re: Oliver

[nola_cyclops]

This is very cute.

Re: Oliver

[nola_quicksilver]

I'm adorable, Scott.

Re: Oliver

[nola_cyclops]

Yes you are.

[nola_jeangrey]

I don't want a rainbow tattoo but I don't not want a rainbow tattoo. Do you have pride ink?

[nola_quicksilver]

No, but I should! I'll need to think how it'd fit with my current tattoos. And rainbows are always fun to do. I like a cheerful subject more than, like, skulls and zombies.

[nola_jeangrey]

Does everyone get the same kind of rainbow? I would probably... never... ever... want to wear a zombie forever. But hey, different strokes.

[nola_eleanor]

Excuse you both, what about the queer zombies?

[nola_quicksilver]

Queer zombies are covered in glitter this month.

[nola_jeangrey]

I respect and welcome them but don’t want to wear them!

[nola_quicksilver]

Nope. Even if the description they give me is vague, I make sure every one is different.

[nola_jeangrey]

That’s very cool. We should make some art together sometime.

[nola_quicksilver]

I'd be up for that!

[nola_jeangrey]

Let’s do it! I have time, I don’t need to only live and breathe my commission.

[nola_quicksilver]

Commission! Sounds fancy!

[nola_jeangrey]

I’m designing a mural for a celebrity nbd

[nola_quicksilver]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

[nola_jeangrey]

Xara Hammersmith saw my Phoenix mural and asked me to make one for her!

[nola_quicksilver]

Whoa! Like a recreation?

[nola_jeangrey]

No, like an original! I ran into her looking at the mural and we got to talking. Wild, right?

[nola_willow]

You cutie. Tattoo some pride on me.

[nola_quicksilver]

You got it. Any specific ideas?

[nola_willow]

I’m feeling very lesbian moon goddesses, or the sun and the moon, or the moon and the tides personified...

[nola_quicksilver]

Hmm! Are you thinking straight-up illustration, or more symbolic/minimalist?

[nola_willow]

I’m not sure! What do you think?

[nola_quicksilver]

I think with illustrative people will definitely know what your intent is.

[nola_willow]

But do I care if people know? Not really! But I do like the idea of illustration.

[nola_quicksilver]

I mean, people are going to ask what a tattoo ~means~ no matter what anyway.

[nola_willow]

And I’ll tell them the incorrect answer every time

[nola_quicksilver]

Which they deserve! You don't need to share and you don't need a deep reason.

[nola_willow]

And it’s no one’s business!

[nola_wanda]

Sometimes it's really good, yeah.
