Finally, the turnout to PrideScape, thank you @meidunn.se.

Pride 🌈 belongs in Gielinor.
Pride 🌈 belongs in Gaming.
Pride 🌈 belongs.

For as long as cowards like Mod North exist unapologetically, we will stand against them.

Jagex, see you next year 🗓️.
We will be ready.

I want to end on a high note 🎵 with these last few posts, as this is a message of Hope 💚, not hate.

@renderscape.bsky.social's PrideScape 🌈 event proved without a shadow of a doubt how much Pride means to the players of RuneScape.

RuneScape tried to take Pride away and players fought back.

And despite Mod North not having the minerals to admit his mistake, our voices 🗣️ *were* heard.

Here's a compilation of the news 📰 🗞️ coverage I found roughly halfway through the Priot 🌈🪧:

I don't in any way blame the Devs who published this week's OSRS update post but "A Quiet Week"?
A quiet week.

Really.

A now 10-day 🗓️ long protest 🪧 in-game at the cowardice of Mod North for halting the release of this year's (already developed) Pride 🌈 event.

Bringing the Community together, the Priot (Pride 🌈 Riot, Falador, w302) is the longest protest 🪧 in OSRS history, there's so many posts on it, @shushmoom.bsky.social has done a great job of a daily breakdown.

Day 21: Didn't get on today cuz I was busy.
Day 22: Pretty eventful, I got to talk a lot with friends and decided to go back to my old mischief and officiate two gay weddings between the same bigots that showed up every day for the past 3 weeks.

Also, there were a lot of heart flowers!

The lack of official Pride 🌈 event in OSRS this year inspired some of our creators, take for instance this superlative poem by @sagemistress.bsky.social:

bsky.app/profile/sage...

Sage 🍁🍉 PHOBGCC COMMISSIONS OPEN @sagemistress.bsky.social · Jun 26

I wrote a poem inspired by the pride protests in Old School RuneScape. I'm so proud to be a part of this amazing community. Each and every one of you has such incredible strength and resolve. Going on 18 days and still no sign of slowing down! #OSRS #RuneScape #Pride #Poetry #LoveIsLove

"Love is Love," a RuneScape themed poem by SageMistress, in the style of an in-game scroll.
Poem text:
"From western lands where crystals shine
To eastern wolves with bones in brine
In desert heat, in northern cold
Love is love, we all grow old
Through Varrock’s streets, crosst bridge of Lum
In Falador the spirits hum
As druids pray and moles take sleep
Love is love, yet Guthix weeps
For still we struggle, still we fight
Cannons fire day and night
Simply ‘cause we dare to say
Love is love, and that’s okay
So gather ‘round across the land
Karamjans, Fremmeniks, hand in hand
Hear us now, we shout out loud
Love is love and we are proud!
~ SageMistress"

So, it's July 1st & Pride 🌈 Month 🗓️ is over.
Jagex's Mod North refused to release the 2025 Pride 🌈 event into OSRS.

We, however, are not defeated.

Here's a thread 🧵 of how we are only stronger & will be bringing Pride forward with us all year round like a queer Scrooge.
Pride Belongs In Gielinor.
