Gown of the Black Swann
After driving pirates from the Stepstones in the late first century, the Triarchy became gradually greedier with their tolls for passage, with the Lyseni captains even taking women, girls, and comely boys to turn into bedslaves. When fifteen years old, Johanna Swann was thus enslaved, and her parsimonious uncle Lord Swann refused to pay the ransom. Johanna became a celebrated courtesan known as the Black Swan, and was eventually ruler of Lys in all but name (x).

Before Pride Month really hits, here’s a quick reminder that it’s completely normal to pick up or shed different labels over the years. You learn new things about yourself and the queer community, you’re probably not the same person you were when you started your queer journey. Maybe you cut your hair or got that tattoo you always wanted or listen to other music. A lot might’ve changed, so why should labels be exempt from that?
Or maybe you’re not yet sure which label fits you - the same way you haven’t made up your mind which clothing style you like best. Maybe you’re hoarding a whole bunch of labels or maybe you don’t care much about labels at all and are just vibing. Either way, I hope you all enjoy the pride festivities whichever way you prefer.
Sincerely, your friendly neighbourhood queer (who used to identify as straight, then pan, now bi and as of now is still questioning my position on the ace spectrum and has given up on labeling their gender).
