#flint and her quad

[katestrophic]

HOO BOY I HAVE A STORY TO TELL

Click “keep reading” to read more about my thoughts on my team comps and strategies I used.

First round: Lucian

Parameters: Physical Dmg. Reduction, Special Dmg. Reduction , Defense & Sp. Def ↑ 1, Max HP ↑ 2, Gradual Healing at Start, Critical-Hit Defense, Defense & Sp. Def ↑ 5, Strength ↑ 2, Ally HP ↓ at Start 5, Max HP ↑ 4,Ally Move Gauge -2, Max HP ↑ 6

Team Comp: 5/5 Misty (Swimsuit) & Psyduck with Vigilance, 5/5 Janine & and Ariados with Vigilance, 3/5 BP Erika & Tangela with Vigilance

Super hyped that Hau is getting an EX! I still have him at 4-star 0/20 so I need to work on him. Hopefully by the next Pokemon Masters Day, I can EX him on the day of his release. That’s why instead of using Hau this week, I just ran my toxic-stall team

Second round: Flint

Parameters: Physical Dmg. Reduction, Attack & Sp. Atk ↑ 1, No Status Conditions, Strength ↑ 1, Sync Buff ↑ 5, Attack & Sp. Atk ↑ 3, Defense & Sp. Def ↑ 3 , Ally Healing ↓ 5, Power ↑ on Hit 1, Gradual Healing at Start, Strength ↑ 2, Ally Move Gauge Max -2, Strength ↑ 6

Team Comp: 3/5 Bianca & Musharna with Vigilance, 5/5 EX Sygna Suit Elesa & Rotom with Head Start 1, 5/5 EX Giovanni & Mega Mewtwo Y with Critical Strike 2

Got Bianca to 3/5 while trying to get SS Giovanni, so I can use her as a decent tank with Weird Shield, which raises her special defense under Psychic Terrain. Does require some RNG for Flint and the sides to not spam Fire Blast at the start of the battle and for Breathtaking! to MPR at least once.

Third round: Bertha

Parameters: Attack & Sp. Atk ↑ 1, Defense & Sp. Def ↑ 1, No Status Conditions, Strength ↑ 1, Sync Buff ↑ 5, Attack & Sp. Atk ↑ 3, No Stat Reduction, Ally Healing ↓ 5, Power ↑ on Hit 1, Gradual Healing at Start, Strength ↑ 2, Ally Move Gauge Max -2, Strength ↑ 6

Team Comp: 3/5  EX Skyla & Swanna with Vigilance, 2/5 Sygna Suit Erika & Leafeon with Critical Strike 2, 3/5 Brendan & Sceptile with Critical Strike 2

Hehe Brendon does 1/3 damage to Bertha’s HP with Leaf Storm before sync. Even though the sides ruin by quad-queuing, he still takes Bertha out before her sync.

Fourth round: Lucian

Parameters: Special Dmg. Reduction, Attack & Sp. Atk ↑ 1, No Status Conditions, Strength ↑ 1, Sync Buff ↑ 5, Attack & Sp. Atk ↑ 3, No Stat Reduction, Ally Healing ↓ 5, Power ↑ on Hit 1, Gradual Healing at Start, Strength ↑ 2, Ally Move Gauge Max -2, Strength ↑ 6  

Team Comp: 3/5 Misty & Starmie with Vigilance, 1/5 Skyla (Anniversary 2022) & Tornadus, 1/5 EX Steven (Anniversary 2021) & Shiny Mega Rayquaza with Critical Strike 2

I just love flinching all the opponents at the start and then just killing everything in sight.

Final round: Cynthia

Parameters: Physical Dmg. Reduction, Attack & Sp. Atk ↑ 1, Defense & Sp. Def ↑ 1, No Status Conditions, Max ↑ HP 2, No Stat Reduction, Ally HP ↓ at Start 5, Max HP ↑ 4, Ally Move Gauge Max -2, Max HP ↑ 6. Strength ↑ 6

Team Comp: 5/5 Professor Sycamore & Xerneas with Vigilance, 5/5 EX Leaf & Eevee with Vigilance, 3/5 EX Lillie (New Year’s 2021) & Ribombee with Vigilance

ARE YOU READY FOR THE MEME TEAM?

So I totally forgot Diantha has a Ghost weakness so she dies immediately at sync. I tried running a Xerneas/Umbreon/Gardevoir team and using Snarl to reduce the Special Attack to -6 in order to attempt to clear with Gardevoir, but she wasn’t doing enough damage back for the amount she was taking. I decided to try to run a Moonblast DPS Xerneas team, similar to my Horn Leech DPS team. I used Eevee and Ribombee as Support to boost my stats. Plus, I was able to boost Evasion to +6 so I was able to avoid most attacks along with boosting Accuracy to +6, so pretty much none of my attacks were missing. After 10 long minutes, I was able to clear the stage. As funny as this meme team was, it still was a painful 10 minutes waiting for the stage to be cleared and hope I don’t immediately get one shot.

Hardwon boy?

The first time Hardwon Surefoot saw Gemma Bronzebeard, he was mining (although that wasn’t saying much; he was always mining, in those days). He paused for a moment when he saw her, though, beautiful and sporting the most lustrous beard he had ever seen. She walked by all the dwarphans, directly to Jaina, who was standing guard, and he was so distracted by watching them, trying to figure out what they were talking about, that it took one of the other dwarphans telling him to get a move-on before he resumed his work.

That day, thinking only of her face and how he could see her again, and not at all of the blisters on his hands and the pain in his back, Hardwon dug deeper into Irondeep than any man or dwarf before him. No one noticed, and he gained nothing from it, but he knew, in his bones and his gut and his quads, and that knowledge sustained him through the next weeks, during which is was as if Gemma had never existed.

When next he saw her, the dwarphans were coming off of their lunch break, a full fifteen minutes in honor of the Crescent Moon of Moradin, and she was, once again, speaking to Jaina. The juxtaposition between the two (Hardwon knew they were sisters; everyone knew they were sisters) was even more striking when he wasn’t neck deep in stone. Jaina was hard, in men’s armor and tightly braided hair, her beard never progressing beyond a five o’clock shadow. Gemma, on the other hand, wore the robes of near-royalty, her hair loose and nearly as long as her beard. There was something of flint to her, though, and Hardwon couldn’t keep himself from taking just a single step closer to hear her speak.

Lost in Love 1/3

A three part digi//mon g/t vore series about my Digidestined OC/sona, Charissa, and her experiences and thoughts with being eaten by her three significant others--her primary partner and husband Jazz (another Digidestined), and her two secondary partners Beelstarrmon and Voltaboutamon. Lots of polyamorous fluff, soft safe vore and sweetness. Will likely do a little series of blurbs with her and Jazz’s digi///mon teammates vore shenanigans too, I just wanted to write up some romance~

Part one focuses on Charissa and Voltaboutamon--in this story, they have only very recently began their relationship, and are still navigating the awkwardness of a new love and the tangled web of the enemies to friends to lovers past they share. After Charissa struggles with sensory overload and the resulting shutdown, Voltaboutamon comforts her in a shrunken state, and considers what her two longer-term significant others have (obnoxiously) told him about her vore fixation.... He decides to try and comfort her in a new way, exploring her very strange form of intimacy. 

NSFW DNI. 

In his hands, I am small and pliable. The pad of his thumb, black and tough as onyx, presses softly against the plushness of my cheek. I melt into him and sigh, softly. 

I am home. 

“I have no idea what I’m doing.” Voltaboutamon looks down at me, the shy indigo blush on his cheeks radiating warmth. “Do I just.... Put you in?”

I smile, stimming nervously with the scrunchie on my wrist. “Ye--ah, I g--uess. You just, um, uh, um tre--at me like you wo--uld would any other f---ood. Except che--w--ing.” I am happy, but the words are forced and almost painful--after a shutdown, speaking always is. 

“You don’t need to make yourself talk.” His narrow eyes seem to edge into slits. “I… I want to make you feel better. You don’t need to force yourself for me, Charissa. I am always prepared to accommodate you. I love you.” 

I almost open my mouth to force out more, but stop. Jazz, Beelstarrmon and Voltaboutamon are the greatest partners I could’ve ever hoped to love--and I found myself frustrated with the disservice both to them and myself whenever I tried to shift myself to try and please them, like I had with so many others. With so many abusers. It was okay to be me. It was safe to be me. With the three of them, I could love freely.

No pretending. No masking. No suffering. Only truth. 

I smiled and nodded. Two taps for thanks, and a squeeze of his fingers for love. 

The wraith-like Digimon smiled, his eyes softening. “And you will be safe?” 

I nodded again, pointing to the small oxygen mask at my hip. I slumped against his needle like fingers, lightheaded from the butterflies fluttering about in my stomach. 

After my surrogate father, Grandracmon, shrunk me down for my own comfort, both Voltaboutamon and I retreated to his quarters for privacy and silence. For not one second did he (nor my father, the kindest beast in existence might I add) judge my desire to be small, and instead he looked down at me as if I was the greatest treasure his hands had ever held. 

For awhile, we lay in silence, my darling removing his chest plating so that I could curl up on his chest and listen to his heartbeat. A steady rhythm, safe and powerful, even through the leathery armor-like chitin that covered him from clavicles to toes, cool and textured against my own skin. Two of his arms tucked behind his head, relaxed, one over his stomach and the last’s palm cupping me gently.

 I was always small, a mere 5’5 to his 12’, but at 5 inches tall, he was now truly massive to me. Even after removing his intimidating armor and mask and the extra bulk of his hat and headscarf, his presence still felt absolutely massive. And yet, despite what a cruel figure the digimon struck, he felt as safe and secure as any home I could have ever imagined. Better than anything I could imagine, in fact.

So when my dear one looked down at me and whispered, with nothing but a soft red light from the lamp in the corner lighting the space around us, if I would like him to eat me, I felt my own heart skip a beat. Pretty sure I felt his do the same. 

Voltaboutamon had never really been interested in the whole vore thing, and after we began dating only a few weeks ago, it was one of the hardest discussions to have with him, perhaps even moreso than our rocky history of hate-filled enemies to reluctant friends to hopelessly yearning. Explaining the intricacies of affection, intimacy, trust, safety and closeness involved in vore for me was terrifying, and having to share that with someone who had been shut off from closeness and emotional intimacy for so long? I figured he would never be comfortable with it beyond some light teasing and letting me lay on his belly. 

And now here we were, both blushing, flustered and awkward. 

His stomach growled, a low rumble beneath me, and the butterflies surged with a vengeance. I loved him so much, so deeply, and just wanted to find myself in the world of his body, his physical self, the very essence of Voltaboutamon. After everything we had endured, the trauma of our pasts, the struggle of our present and the serenity of the new love we had found, all I ever wanted was to get lost in him. Right now, literally. 

“And you trust me? You feel safe?” He was nervous, maybe even more than I was. 

I smiled gently. One long, deep squeeze. Always. 

He nodded, clearing his throat. “Well. I am hungry. I was busy earlier today and forgot to eat so… Yes. Here we go then. Vore.” 

He picked me up with two long, claw tipped fingers, squeezing into the softness of my plump frame. He lifted me up and I felt myself go a bit dizzy with vertigo, until I looked down and saw his mouth yawn open. 

Poppy-red eyes gazed up at me, gauging my reaction. Voltaboutamon’s face was narrow and framed with long locks of wavy snow-white hair, his features all hard as flint. His full lips opened wide, lavender skin giving way to a bright pink mouth and pearly teeth. A set of long fangs, his teeth all just a little bit sharper than normal--likely the Myotismon data--and his tongue long and flat and waiting. 

I swallowed hard, goosebumps popping up along my arms as I fixated on the strands and bubbles of saliva framing his maw, leading all the way back into the beckoning tunnel of his throat. 

He lowered me in gently, and I almost laughed at the severe juxtaposition of how differently he placed me in comparison to my other dear ones. His soft, thoughtful handling a contrast to the greedy but assured stuffing-in that Jazz and Beelstarrmon would begin eating me with. I suppose it makes sense, gluttons as they are and gourmet as he is. I almost giggle thinking about the shenanigans and contrasts of our love-filled little quad, but I’m broken from my ruminations when he places me right atop his tongue. 

Instantly the butterflies surge, a swarm of nerves and exhilaration twisting up my insides. His tongue undulates beneath me, his sharp teeth framing the outside world. Before I know it the digimon’s mouth closes, the last shreds of light glinting off his fangs and threads of drool before I’m shrouded in darkness. 

I squish my fingers against the slick flesh of my darling’s tongue, gasping as it presses me against the roof of his mouth and then to the inside of his cheek. I’ve been eaten so many times before, by friends and lovers, and yet I still find myself growing pink and amazed and feeling so very very small, and I can’t help but just close my eyes and smile. 

His breath is hot and smells of tart undiluted cranberry juice, and I recall the mug he left on the kitchen counter. It rushes over me as he carefully shifts me around the slimy cavern, his teeth gently scraping at my skin and saliva coating me like a second skin. I press my hands against his flesh, tracing veins with my fingertips and slipping around at his mercy. A low hum builds in his throat and I blush, pleased that he seems to find me a tasty snack. 

I found myself pushed to the back of his mouth, going lightheaded with both happiness and an unbidden anxiety--like the top of a roller coaster drop--as the tips of my toes slipped past the entrance of his throat. His uvula tickled the top of my twin buns as he swallowed thickly, unaccustomed to such a large morself, not that my girth likely helped much. His gulp pulled me down instantaneously, and then peristalsis got to work. He swallowed and gulped again, clearly straining to get me down. 

The powerful muscles pulled me down eagerly, the soft flesh crushing and massaging against me as it effortlessly took me further into Voltaboutamon. I felt his fingertip press against the bulge I must’ve made in his slender neck, following me as I trailed deeper into him. I heard the rush of his breath from his lungs, his relief once I started falling down his throat smoothly, and he no longer had to swallow powerfully. 

I enjoyed the trip down, my oxygen mask providing me air during my smothering descent, the pressure providing me sensory stimulation and relaxation in the best possible way. Utter bliss. 

It wasn’t long before Voltaboutamon’s throat opened up into his stomach though, and I yelped as I was deposited into the much more roomy cavern. I slipped right in and slid down into a fetal position, shifting about to get comfortable. The sludgy chyme and the unmistakable tang of cranberry juice sloshed around me, his belly grumbling loudly upon my arrival. The muscular walls flexed and kneaded gently, like a hug. The darkness and heat was utterly smothering, and while the smell wasn’t delightful, it was reassuring in some strange way. 

His heart beat thunderously somewhere above me, and the hum of his digicore was a barely noticeable constant thrumming. His lungs translated in and out, in and out seamlessly, a low gurgle from lower in his guts sounding out every now and then. His stomach continued its kneading and soft growling, and I felt all my muscles loosen and relax. 

“Are you alright, Charissa?” I was jostled a bit as he must’ve leaned down, trying to get as close as he could. “I feel ridiculous talking to my stomach…” A pressure from outside pushed against me, kind and gentle as ever. Voltaboutamon rubbed his belly, and I eagerly pressed back and into the sweet touch, rubbing my hands tenderly along his stomach walls in thanks. 

“I love you, dear.” His voice blended in with the cacophony of sounds, the symphony of his body. “You were...a, ah, good meal. A nice little bite. Morsel. You melt in my mouth. ….Ah. Fuck. Yep.” He went quiet, and I could almost see the frustrated look on his face. I giggled sweetly as we both continued our rubbing. He had the spirit, and my heart swelled with pure adoration.

I let myself melt into him indeed, leaning back into the undulating stomach walls and letting the heat encompass me. Right now, Voltaboutamon was my entire world, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I relaxed into him, his body keeping me enshrouded and hidden like a treasure chest, and I felt my eyelids grow heavy.

I began to daydream about whenever he’d spit me back up, and we’d return to Jazz and Beelstarrmon--oh, how they’d tease him relentlessly, and how he’d pout and huff and give out halfhearted threats. We would all laugh,and they would all pull me close, and I would be even more surrounded by love than I was right now. Maybe I could slip into Jazz’s gut before bed, or Beelstarrmon could have me for breakfast. Maybe we’d all just lay together and play board games and talk until the suns came up and the Digital World came to life. 

The pain of today slipped away, melting away in Voltaboutamon’s belly as easily as any food. Just as my muscles relaxed my mind did too, the overwhelming sensation of sensory overload from earlier suffering giving way to peace. This was what vore was to me--each experience with each person I loved, each friend, each pred and even accompanying prey friends was always different--but at the core it was the inexplicable, even moreso unexplainable, sense of safety, closeness and belonging. 

My eyelids fluttered closed, breathing growing even. I felt so lucky to be loved like this, to be held like this. Down someone’s throat, below their heart, in the soothing darkness of their belly was my home. 

“I love you, Voltaboutamon.” I whispered softly to the world around me. I would tell him to his face, accompanied by a kiss on the nose, whenever I reemerged. For now, I sunk down with a sigh and let myself fade into sleep.

Ep. 2: “iF yOu SeE a VoLcAnO wHy NoT jUmP oVeR iT” - Marie

Marie

Fuckin volcano

Felix

I feel secure because Charlie is going to be the one to go. I just know it. If we go to tribal that is. They have barely spoken and I don't know them too well. Might be the same for everyone else here

Marie

Still salty bout the goddamn volcano

Marie

iF yOu SeE a VoLcAnO wHy NoT jUmP oVeR iT

Flint

I am really enjoying the banter with Jay and our tribe. Having a great time with this immunity challenge and chatting with Joey and Felix. Wish the other tribe mates were as active.

Brianna

Ya know coming into this competition i didn’t expect it to be me and Bradley as the last two people representing our team. I guess he’s gonna be more active now since his busy week is over so that’s swell but like. God I really wanna sleep.

Felix

To sum up, I feel like I am getting a deeper bond with Flint and Joey. They seem to be willing to talk with me most often. So, even if we do go to tribal I am safe for the most part. I just feel like I am liked in the tribe. Also, I am the one putting in the most work for the tribe, so I have that going for me. I just feel safe because of the work I have put in, but I don't want to give up just yet. If I can avoid tribal, then I will. According to both Joey and Flint, Suzy and Charlie have been very inactive. Therefore, it will be them on the chopping block come time for tribal. Joey thinks Charlie is more inactive whereas Flint thinks Suzy is more inactive. It'll just come down to what Cassie and I feel in the end. Doesn't hurt us either way since I think they are the weakest links on our tribe, especially Charlie. I don't think she put in enough effort last immunity challenge. Plus, she was totally inactive for this challenge that she auto-lost. Cassie missed this challenge too, but she at least did really well last challenge. If we go to tribal, I think I would vote for Charlie in the end since they are the person I feel least closest to. If only Bradley dropped, I could win this challenge for my tribe and cement my place as a valuable asset.

Lysandre

I am SO SORRY GIGI! I thought you were a returnee so I decided to snap! The comment looked pretty mean compared to the others,  which it was. The tribe, Marie and Kathleen, was wondering who said the mean comment and they believed it was David. I said yeah I think it was him as well. I love accidently painting a target in him and being a rat child.

Lysandre

Ok so I completely missed the challenge! I had no idea it was going to start early and I was at ine of ny sibling's events. I'm rooting for my team and hoping that my absence doesn't paint a target on my back. Also! I am loving being Lysandre! The writer in me is having a field day because I get to create a character and their background, quirks, and personality BUT THEN I GET TO BECOME THEM.

Flint

I couldn't outlast that second Immunity challenge. It was fun but my body couldn't carry on. I hope that Felix can pull through for Tuai! If we have to go to tribal I think it will be an easy vote, for me at least. I think that Cassie or Suzy should go. Cassie hasn't shown much initiative as our leader and Suzy isn't very social.

Bradley

This challenge is taking forever. Im the last one for my tribe. I dont want to lose cuz itll suck and havent been on that much so my soical game isnt too strong either. I just want to beat one tribe.

Cassie

I'm so proud of Felix for sticking it out for the tribe so that we don't have to go to tribal tonight. Plus we still have the numbers advantage, so that is always a positive.

Flint

So relieved we won immunity again! The Tuai tribe is unstoppable so look out! I'm a little jealous that Felix won an advantage but he deserves it and maybe with some buttering up he'll share the information with me.

Felix

Can you believe I have done THAT! I single-handedly won this challenge for my tribe, and got an advantage on top of that. I know why Raul and Kathleen gave it to me, though. If I won and people knew I had an advantage, I would have a big target on my back. It does seem that Kathleen and Raul are working together, so I have to watch out for them. Whether I tell this to anyone on my tribe is a different matter entirely. Though they all know I have an advantage. I think I won't be seen as a threat until later on in the game. I'm still an asset to them though this early on so I hope I would stay if we had to go to tribal in this stage of the game.

Raul

I really did not think I was gonna be able to compete but I got back into it was in the last 2 of our tribe. When it came down to 4 of us 2vs1vs1 we knew we needed to just knock out Bradley and he did that to himself. The best thing to come out was that Kathleen and I grew together plus I'm pretty sure I know the identity of Kathleen which helps cause I love this person. Also there was a individual advantage to be won and Felix had 0 while Kathleen and I had 2. Kathleen and I had decided that Felix could have it but try to work a little magic and make a relationship with him and a deal to work together if the opportunity arose. My smart self realized that that if we just gave it to him it would be announced we made a deal, so I said we continue the comp and just throw it that way it wouldn't be revealed what we were actually doing. This way it keeps this threesome possibility a secret. Whether it remains one or not we shall see. At the very least we aren't going to tribal. Hoorah, 1 point Raul the Snake 0 points survivor gods . . .

Kathleen

"Ohhhh bitch this ones gonna be different from my last one.

David? Trash. Will 100% be the one to go next tribal we go to if I have anything to say about it.

Marie? The sweetest and most opinionated 13 year old I’ve ever met. We love a politically aware teen.

Lysandre? *insert that lady Gaga gif of her going ‘gorgeous, amazing incredible’ ect*

And Raul? I’m sooo glad we were the last two left in the immunity challenge. We bonded AND made an underhanded deal with someone from another tribe. Can you say icons?

Hotel? Trivago."

Bradley

I could still potentially be going home. Since someone brought up the fact that they all talked how they havent talked to me a lot. They do appreciate me doing really well in the challenge and i have Apollo and Brianna wanting to work with me each separately. So hopefully i can avoid being voted off this round and just work on more social connections with them all.

Suzy

love felix but lowkey what if they are doing this for everyone

Boris

"Hello im STRESSED. I went from feeling like im in a comfortable position on the tribe, to the absolute bottom just in one day. Being forced to sit out of the challenge really fucked me up. I feel like the tribe is low-key bitter at me.

And on top of that. We have less than 12 hours to vote someone out. And NO ONE is really talking game to me. Im so nervous. The only person I connect with on a game level is Apollo. I have no idea where the tribe is leaning, but I have a sinking feeling its me.

God I hope im wrong and just insanely paranoid. "

Boris

"IN HAPPIER NEWS. I finally got something GOOD in the idol hunt? And it could be game changing!!!

I found 1 half of a super idol. It can't help me tonight but its leverage, and a super idol is the most powerful thing in the game, it could literally save my life in the future of the game. All i have to do is survive tonight, if I have to use the super idol piece as leverage, I will. "

Felix

I think the advantage is less about doing someone on the other tribe a favor. I'm telling everyone about it because, if I do that, it garners trust because they know I'll be open with them about any advantages I have. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to tell the truth to gain trust. The extra vote could also get me an ally on the other side. Let's see if this plays out like I hope it does.

David

Everyone is nice which makes it hard to decide who to vote off. Performance in the next challenge will base my vote and probably others.

Felix

I think my plan is working. Cassie offered me an alliance with her and Flint. I think those two are really cool so I think working with them is in my best interest. Also, I have connections with Mea through Raul and Kathleen. Hopefully, since I'm giving an extra vote to Bradley, I can gain a connection with him despite not having met him. I hope this plays out well! My social game seems to be climbing!

Felix

I have made my first alliance in this game! It's the Tuai Quad Alliance, LLC featuring Cassie, Joey, Flint, and I. It's basically everyone I wanted to work with since the beginning of the game! I think I have found myself in a good position on this tribe. To be honest, I'd like to see Charlie go first, but we'll see how this all pans out. I'm glad I finally have a security blanket though. Hurray for a good social game!

Cassie

I love being a part of the Tuai tribe and was happy to become the leader. Despite liking all of my tribemates, I've become part of an alliance. We're calling it the TQA, LLC. Maybe someday that can be trademarked, hehe. But the Tuai Quad power is strong with Felix, Flint, Joey, and myself.

Brianna

Well. We lost the challenge. I made a pact with Bradley that we should stick together since we were the last two people left in the challenge. I also talked to Apollo and Boris. I seem to be close to them. Boris mentioned making an alliance with me, him, Bradley, and Apollo and I would be totes down for that. So. Guess this will be pretty simple hopefully

Zest

I just cast my first vote and it was wild. I didn't know what to expect going in to tribal. I hope no one blindsides me because I am really getting invested in this game. I think while my performance in the last challange wasn't the greatest, I can still be a strong social player. Not sure if I'm feeling like Parvati or Hannah Shapiro. I need another few weeks to find out what kind of player I am going to be.

Charlie

I feel so bad for missing the challenge but once again not much new is happening.

Boris

"I have been putting in WERK todah to make sure I'm in the best possible position going into tonight.

I first was talking to Brianna, and she mentioned the only people she didnt wanna vote was me, Apollo, and Bradley. So, naturally, when presented with a majority of the tribe, I suggest an alliance! Ofc she agrees hehe, so now thats in the works.

On my tribe, the most likable people and those I get along with/vibe the most with is Apollo and Zest. I approach them both and plant that seed, another alliance of just us three forms. Im SO excited to be working with them, we bounce off each other really well and I truly think we can go to the end together.

So yeah, even tho I was worried this morning I think I placed myself in a near perfect position. I really don't think theres any way I leave tonight. "

Joey

unfortunately, i wasn’t the best in the challenge but at least i showed up! i was invited in by cassie to an alliance with her felix and flint, but it was obvious i was the last one asked. i plan on being loyal, but i need to let cassie play leader while i get closer with felix. slow and steady.

Thomas M

Not much, Bradley did well on the challenge but unfortunately we are in the bottom. Have been preoccupied with a big assignment so have not gotten to fully experience things in the last round at least. Am nervous of who is going to get booted, excited to see what's to come!

Marie

Wow, idol hunt hates me

Apollo

We lost, I feel like I’m getting played though, if this is the last you’ve seen of Apollo, it’s been a great run!

Brianna

I’m really laughing over Thomas’ first message to me after we lost 30 minutes before tribal....like...it’s a little too late sorry bud

Bradley

It looks like the vote should be Thomas which Im fine with. And theres an alliance of Borris, Apollo, and Brianna who want to make a four person with me which makes me really happy. Started off rocky in this game but with challenge preformance actually helped me a lot.

Apollo

Borris and Apollo? “Name a more iconic duo”

[ellrond]

fic prompt: flintham + 70: “ This is why I fell in love with you. ” pretty please :)))

Joshua led the vanguard this time, Billy and Joji at his flanks, Singleton bringing up the rear of the quad. They liked to clear the area on hauls like these, when the crew of their target fought and then fled the decks because it was usually a sign of an easy fight, a sign that the captain wished to resist but the crew would rather surrender and walk away with their lives. It was easy, and the bloodshed was usually superficial. 

As the smoke cleared from the gunpowder, Captain Flint and his shadow strode towards the small flurry of fighting. In one smooth motion his sword was unsheathed and steel sang against steel as it met Singleton’s blade. 

“It’s done.” Captain Flint’s words echoed in the wooden chamber. Singleton’s lip curled but he did not resist, and around them, the men of the Walrus decisively ended their skirmishes. Flint pulled the black sash from his mouth and piercing eyes locked upon the merchant captain. Behind him, his shadow moved slightly closer. “Wouldn’t you agree?” 

The Captain’s Shadow. That was the name some of the crew had given him. It began as a nickname way back when they first arrived in Nassau and James had met Mister Gates in a dingy tavern and Gates had taken a liking to him. There, James did the talking and Thomas did the listening and wherever one went, the other followed. Because Flint did the talking, it always looked like Thomas was nothing more than his shadow, going wherever the slighter man went, letting his feet lead the way. Thomas didn’t mind it much; he knew otherwise. Everything they did was a decision between the pair of them and more often than not it was Thomas who would take more of a lead despite how it seemed to the crew and to the rest of the world, for that matter. The Shadow looked as if he carried no sword and no pistol and there was little threatening about they way he presented himself but there were stories of the violence and carnage he could unleash should his captain be under threat. 

One tale told of a crew member who had fallen on the wrong side of Captain Flint and came to owe him nearly five hundred Spanish dollars that he could not ever hope to pay back and so he thought he would sneak into the captain’s cabin and do away with him. The Shadow, it was rumoured, slept on the floor beside his cot like a loyal dog. The crew member instead found them wrapped in an embrace even in sleep atop the bed, the captain against the ship wall, meaning the crew member had to lean over the Shadow to reach Flint. He tried it, steady as could be, but the Shadow rolled over and woke to find the crew member reaching across him to press a blade to the captain’s neck. The Shadow grasped him by the neck without flinching, it was said, and threw him fully across the cabin so he hit the door and fell, his ribs cracked, to the floor. There, the Shadow came to him and pulled a short and sharp blade on him and began a long and slow cut across his throat, the blade so fine that the crew member hardly felt it open the veins in his neck. He let out only the faintest noise once the Shadow had cut him from ear to ear and pressed the knife through his windpipe. Members who had served on the Walrus for years said the Shadow insisted on a trial aboard the ship as he felt remorse for the loss of life but the crew almost unanimously voted him innocent of murder on account of the dead man’s plans, that he told many a person, to solve his debt with a swift stab. The Shadow was fined for bypassing the crew’s justice and choosing to execute the man on the spot, so the story went, and he supposedly apologised for it. But some people told the tale of the captain and the shadow bathing in the blood of the crew member, drinking it, fucking in it, offering him as a sacrifice to the old gods that kept them kings among pirates. 

Thomas stood watching over the decks as the captured crew coward and wept below him, as the poor merchant captain stood tied to the mast across from him. Singleton’s rasping voice carried like an unpleasant stench up to him but he tried to hear every word. Our enemy, your enemy. The words echoed in Thomas’ ears and his mouth twitched slightly. It seemed that every loathsome phrase that left Singleton’s lips were not meant for the merchant captain but for Flint. It was no secret Singleton wanted the captaincy and the more and more poor prizes they got, the closer it seemed he was coming to meeting that end. 

The sea breeze whipped around Thomas and he straightened his back slightly. The captain followed Mr Gates out onto the deck and Thomas met James’ gaze briefly before the other turned to speak quietly to the man tied to the mast. Glancing now and again at the scarred face of Singleton, Thomas felt deeply uneasy. He began the decent of the stairs to come to James’ side when the loud cry of sails! startled them all. 

“Royal Navy,” Flint said, spyglass at his eye and Thomas on one side, Gates on the other. It had taken him a matter of seconds to cross the ship and search out the horizon. His Shadow was at his side in a heartbeat. “Scarborough.”

Gates sounded rattled. “Scarborough ports in Boston.”

On Flint’s other side, Thomas took the spyglass and looked for himself, his stomach dropping at the sight of the distant ship. “Not today she doesn’t.”

By the time they had sailed into Nassau’s bay, Gates had already given Flint a dressing down and, not for the first time, Thomas had aided him in doing so. The lack of trust Flint had in the crew was going to be his downfall, both Thomas and Hal agreed on that but James remained stubborn and difficult. Frankly, the only thing that stopped their discussion from heating up was the knock on the door and Billy’s youthful face coming to tell them they were home. Thomas sat in the window seat and smiled slightly, Hal winking at him as he left the cabin. Then, for what it felt like the first time in days, they were alone. 

“He’s right,” Thomas said, watching the back of James’ head. “You need to trust the crew.”

“I’ll trust them as far as I can throw them.” 

“You need to trust them.”

James was quiet for a moment and Thomas dared, for a split second, to believe that perhaps this time the other might have listened to him. Then the silence was broken. 

“I need to see Richard.”

Thomas couldn’t help but roll his eyes behind James’ back. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. He won’t help you, you know he won’t. Perhaps Eleanor is a better try.”

“She won’t know anything about this, it’s operations far beyond her control. She’d try to help but she would fail.”

Thomas made a small noise of agreement and stood up. “Alright. Do you think I ought to come with you?” 

“No. Go home, see Miranda. If all goes well we’ll be gone again by noon tomorrow. I’ll come home when I’ve finished with the Guthries. I think it’s time I paid Eleanor a visit too.”

“Tomorrow?” Thomas repeated in surprise. “That’s quick, don’t you think?” 

The chair scraped the floor as the captain stood up and he turned around to face Thomas, a twinkle in his eye. “We’re so close, Thomas. I can feel it, I can see it. We can’t slow now, not when we’ve come this far.”

There was a wildness in his smile, chaos in his eyes, but there was power, too, and goodness. Thomas leaned back against the wooden wall and returned the smile. “This is why I fell in love with you.”

The sudden declaration took James by surprise and he let out a short laugh. “Because I’m ignoring counsel and you and Gates?” 

Chuckling, Thomas shook his head. “No. Because you care for people when you don’t even know their names. You want to help strangers build better lives for themselves. You love people even when they do not deserve it. This is what it’s all for; a better place in the world.”

Captain Flint looked down to shuffle the papers on his desk and felt his eyebrows rise. “I love you too,” he murmured, cheeks flushed. “Right. Let’s get off this ship and on with business-”

He was cut off when Thomas kissed his cheek an it made him blink rapidly for a short moment. Turning his head slightly, he met his partner’s soft gaze and returned the loving smile. “Go to Miranda. I’ll be home before nightfall. I promise.”

Flashback

I just got back to my dorm and I’m still shaking. I had been walking back from women’s history, not even paying attention to what route I was taking, when I found myself standing in the middle of the quad. Usually this doesn’t disrupt my day too much. I just get a slightly accelerated heartbeat and uneven breathing that passes once I’m across. But this particular time I happened to be looking down. And saw something white amongst the green grass. I looked closer and found that it was a tooth, a human tooth. I began to hyperventilate as I realized that I was in the exact same spot where Flint died. As I panic. I think back to that night and all at once everything went white. ‘I was standing on the performance stage as Greenie jumped forward in front of Jade, her dark hair flying. My blood runs cold as I see her actually push the threatening form of Neighbor away from our fellow freshman. They seem just as shocked as I, because they stand unnaturally still. In the distance I hear delighted cries and the baying of dogs followed by screams. “You shouldn’t have done that, Little One,” It speaks in a voice that is no longer sweet but sounds like metal grating on stone. Greenie stands tall but I can see the fear in her eyes. The Gent must recognize this to because It laughs. And the noise emanating from Its throat is the worst possible I could ever imagine. Its hands (claws?) twitches and Greenie goes flying, landing a few yards away. Flint, who had up until then stood just as idle as me, leaps into action. He runs offstage and raises his curled fist to the Thing. The blow never lands. It doesn’t even glance at him when Flint is then pinned to his knees by an unseen force. “Kill him,” Greenie let’s out a choked scream as he is set upon by the Fair Folk. I watch in horror. Flint is being torn apart before my eyes. When his cries finally end in a wet gurgle, I pull my eyes away, unable to watch any longer. My gaze is on my friend as I watch her lying on the ground a little ways off from her boyfriend, arm outstretched her towards her boyfriend and her cheeks wet from weeping. The sight breaks my heart and I look back to Flint. Well, what was left of him. He’s nothing but a pile of red and a few broken bones. The Visitors stand around him covered head to toe in blood and gore. And I can’t help the terrified gasp that leaves my throat. All Their eyes turn to me. It takes a too-smooth step forward. “Wait!” Greenie cries. “Yes, Songstress?” It asks as if It already knows the answer. “My life for Blue’s. Equal exchange,” It tuts. “Her meager resistance is hardly worth yours,” But there’s a gleam in Its eyes that makes my stomach churn. “Then what-?” “Her service. To pay the difference she must serve us,” ’ When I come to I’m kneeling on the ground, sobbing with Flint’s molar cradled in my hands. It took me a few minutes to pull myself together, and I notice the stares. Stares from boys with frog eyes and girls with hollow backs. The others, the humans, keep their eyes averted and hurry on their way. I somehow managed to make it to my feet and stumbled the rest of the way to my dorm, where I find myself now. This flashback only confirmed my fears and suspicions that it really is my fault that my best friend is gone and that I really do owe Them a debt. It makes the other students’ actions around me seem justified. But I can’t afford to think like that now. I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I do know I have to get ready for the meeting. Its time to gain some allies in this.

Oc Introductions: Criminal Minds Edition

Flint Ramirez

Flint is my main character out of most of my ocs. She’s an omni genderqueer latinx who’s main personality is her sassy quips and leadership role in her group. Flint was born in a quadruplet on August 6th also happens to be the oc I named my accounts after, so.. theres that.

Clay Ramirez

Clay is Flint’s slightly older brother. He’s an aromantic demiboy, he’s grumpy and short-tempered. He takes the role of the techy, and would work with Garcia. He wears these visors to help him see due to his blindness.

Stormi Ramirez

Stormi is the second eldest of the Ramirez quad. He’s a cisgender gay with a chill but troublemaking personality. He the sporty type and plays many different water sports, it’s his specialty.

Briar Ramirez

The eldest of the Ramirez quad, Briar is a flowery and bubbly lesbian. She likes sewing and makes clothes for her siblings. Think Isabella before ‘What Else Can I Do’ except happy with her pink rosey self.

The Ramirez Quad

These four are Reid’s children he adopted when they were 12, before they were adopted they all had to be supervised before fully joining the team. They were supervised by Hotch who they joke was one of the first actual fatherly father figures they’ve ever had. To be honest they’ve probably called every team “Mom” or “Dad” excluding Rossi, who has rightfully earned “Papa” after one of them called him “Grandpa”.

👀...

The first time Hardwon Surefoot saw Gemma Bronzebeard, he was mining (although that wasn’t saying much; he was always mining, in those days). He paused for a moment when he saw her, though, beautiful and sporting the most lustrous beard he had ever seen. She walked by all the dwarphans, directly to Jaina, who was standing guard, and he was so distracted by watching them, trying to figure out what they were talking about, that it took one of the other dwarphans telling him to get a move-on before he resumed his work.

           That day, thinking only of her face and how he could see her again, and not at all of the blisters on his hands and the pain in his back, Hardwon dug deeper into Irondeep than any man or dwarf before him. No one noticed, and he gained nothing from it, but he knew, in his bones and his gut and his quads, and that knowledge sustained him through the next weeks, during which is was as if Gemma had never existed.

           When next he saw her, the dwarphans were coming off of their lunch break, a full fifteen minutes in honor of the Crescent Moon of Moradin, and she was, once again, speaking to Jaina. The juxtaposition between the two (Hardwon knew they were sisters; everyone knew they were sisters) was even more striking when he wasn’t neck deep in stone. Jaina was hard, in men’s armor and tightly braided hair, her beard never progressing beyond a five o’clock shadow. Gemma, on the other hand, wore the robes of near-royalty, her hair loose and nearly as long as her beard. There was something of flint to her, though, and Hardwon couldn’t keep himself from taking just a single step closer to hear her speak.

I had FORGOTTEN about this I gotta get back to it

Ep. 4: “Wow my team is shit!!!” - Lysandre

Joey G

So I’ve had a really busy few days, but luckily my connection with Felix not only scored me a spot on my OG tribe’s majority alliance, but I also ended up with him on the swap tribe and leveraged his connections to join a new majority alliance with Lysandre and Raul. Now that work seems to be slowing down a bit, I have to kick it into high gear to secure my position on the tribe as well as make bonds that can help me come merge time.

Charlie

I feel very confident about my vote this tribal, pretty sure I won't be blindsided either

Apollo

You wanted some tea sis? Well here you go! The bruschetta alliance is probably really weak as in power sense but I think we’re strong as in our connections with each other. A tribe swapped occurred and thank god I bonded with Felix and the rest of the bruschetta alliance did as well. We all ended up on his tribe and I’m grateful to be on the safe tribe this round. The tea is? I really like Felix but I kind of want to vote him out at the first chance possible. He’s really good at challenges (and yes I’m completely basing this off of a puzzle score) and his charisma is far too high and he’s really likeable. He’s a fucking threat. And yes I do Iike him a lot but I want to be the prom king not the runner up.

Lysandre

Hi this iis Lysandre the Lion and the lier coming at you live from the WHAT THE FUCK IM ON MEA NOW.

Lysandre

Ok so there was no swap and we are back on our OG tribes until MERGE and that makes me feel so bad because It makes my chances of using the idol go up by a bunch! and PLUS THE NEW CHALLENGE IS A SCAVENGER HUNT, aka my least favorite challenge ever.

Felix

"Alright so big things have happened since my last confessional. First off, I can't believe Jay pulled that Twistos twist on us! I was so ready to move on with my alliance with Raul, Lysandre, and Joey. Plus, I was also ready to create an alliance with Apollo with whomever he deemed worthy. Oh, well. At least that means I do not have to betray anyone yet. Plus, it means that I get back with Tuai Quad LLC which means Cassie cannot use her advantage on me. Overall, this twist didn't hurt me, but I would've liked more time to establish bonds. Oh well. At least this means I have like 3 alliances at merge if all of those people make it to the merge.

Joey says that we should keep the Golden Alliance between us. I guess that's fine. I mean if it ever comes to light then I do have an excuse ready. Though I don't know how well it would work. Plus, it makes him think we have this hared secret together and that we are this Final 2 duo. It'll be good to keep up a good reputation with him.

Cassie says she wants to target Marie at merge. That could be a risky and game-changing move on her part if it succeeds. She sees Marie as the head of the Mea tribe, so it'd be good to get rid of her. To be honest, it wouldn't be such a bad thing for Cassie to target Marie. After all, it would put the target on her back and not mine if the move goes through or not. Depending on my decision to side with either Tuai or Mea, it could put me in the best position in the game. I'd definitely be playing the middle in that case. Though I should not forget that Sumi also exists. They are probably the underdogs of this season, but I can't let hem go unnoticed. As long as I can keep playing the middle, I'll be golden. Hopefully, we can vote out someone irrelevant on the first tribal at merge to keep the two sides butting heads.

I don't know how well I will do in this challenge though. The Scavenger Hunt is always hit or miss for me. However, even if we do go to tribal, it'll definitely be Charlie who will get voted out. I think of Charlie as wildcard in this scenario. I cannot have him get to merge because I basically don't talk to him. He could easily flip on me and Tuai. Let's see how this goes."

Zest

woah jay! you really got me thinking I made the merge. Anyways, hyped for this scavenger hunt.

Brianna

Kind of. Really wish. We didn’t have to go back to our original tribes. Ugh. It’s a scavenger hunt competition and we had to sit one person out. No one was saying anything so I got randomly picked to sit out. I mean. I was fine with it. But we are less than 24 hours away from the challenge being finished and we have zero points. I can’t count on anyone on sumi. And if I end up getting voted out because of this I will throw a fit.

Marie

Wow, my closest ally left the game. I hope everything is ok! And I’m hoping lys Raul and I can stick together

Apollo

"Nobody: ...

Jay: it wasn’t a real swap! Go back to your old tribes until merge!

Me: https://68.media.tumblr.com/6f9f874d5d67596a06b123e372d682ee/tumblr_inline_og1vygJXEY1usj39c_500.gif"

Apollo

Anyways in all seriousness, I’m pretty shook that we’re staying in these tribes until merge if the merge is at f11. If it’s at f13 then no big deal. Borris and I have majority with Zest and Bradley and Brianna think they’re sitting pretty until we lose anyways and Zest knows about the foursome made without him so ideally I’m in a good spot with Borris. I would like to keep us all as long as possible but I’m very much not going to be upset if we lose Brianna and Bradley. Fuck it might even be good to be perceived as the weaker tribe going into merge. If we’re the “strongest” tribe then people are going to want to pick us off at the start and I’m not here for that.......Maybe....maybe we need to lose a challenge or two

Flint

This weeks immunity challenge is a blast but also a little more difficult then I had expected. Felix Cassie and I are doing our best and I hope it keeps Tuai out of trouble for one more round!

Flint

There has been a little whispering of idol talk and it’s kinda got me nervous. A few tribe mates have said they gone out hunting but also mentioned they believe someone already found it. I suspect that it’s Joey because he’s been a bit quiet so maybe he feels comfortable sitting back a bit with an idol in his pocket.

Felix

Kathleen quitting is kind of a shame. That means I can't work with her in the future, and I was already laying down the groundwork for it. Oh, well. At least now the pact I made with her and Raul can't be spread around or broken. I hope we don't go to tribal. I really don't have the mental energy for it. Plus, I didn't do that well in the challenge so maybe they'll just send me home. Who knows? All I know is that Charlie is getting my vote if we go to tribal.

Felix

I'm kind of sad that Mea is going to tribal again. They are the ones that I bonded with the most during the One World, and it is a shame to see such active people go home one by one. I hope it's Raul who goes because he's the least talkative out of Marie and Lysandre. Plus, I've talked to the other two extensively and have built strong bonds with them. We'll see what happens, but this is such a shame. Plus, if Marie stays then Cassie will still be able to target her still.

Zest

"what a fun scavenger hunt challenge. I am so grateful for my tribe. I also am really enjoying having an alliance. I hope to find something on an idol hunt soon. This competition is really starting to AMP UP!"

Lysandre

Wow my team is shit!!! Also I'm going to miss Steph- I mean Kathleen! So the challenge went terribly. Marie submitted like 6 items and Raul really carried the team with his 0 items what a legend. We are going to tribal as a tribe of 3 which is... new and I'm literally so pressd.

Cassie

I guess you could say I went a bit all out for this particular challenge. It was super fun to go around looking for stuff. Our tribe is doing really well still and we're anticipating a merge soon. We still have the numbers and I hope we can stick around to the final 5. Go Tuai!

Lysandre

I'm thinking of something iconic to say as an episode title but the flopness of my tribe keeps alerting Jay of Tribal Council.

Flint

Tuai lives to see another day! Watching Mea dwindle to 2 players after tonight is crazy to think about. I feel lucky to be apart of such a strong tribe and hope we stay aligned once we hit the merge, but I have a gut feeling someone from Tuai will flip and join the other players

Brianna

"Heheh it’s okay we won"

Marie

Wow, I think we’re the worst tribe in online survivor history

Felix

I can't believe that Apollo had a "Leaders Alliance" with Cassie and Marie. How shookening is that? He runs his mouth about starting an alliance with me, but already has one with people he considers the "leaders" of his tribe? Nah nah nah. He's way smarter than he lets on. He may think I'm a pawn and a good personality, but I am going to go after him at merge. Marie doesn't matter since she has no numbers and no tribe to fall back on. Apollo has been slowly building alliances with probably Zest, Boris, and/or Brianna. They're probably really tight at this point, so we need to be very careful of how we tread with Apollo. He needs to go. I think how it should go at merge would be (Random Non-Tuai Person) -> Marie (for Cassie's good side) -> Apollo (a big threat and we'd have the numbers if Tuai would work together) -> Cassie (cause she'd be a threat too). Tbh, I want everyone in that Leaders Alliance gone because if they think they're the top dogs then they got to go. They'd be too much of a threat as the numbers close down. And I want their blood all over my hands.

Felix

"I cannot just passively play this game lol. I'm currently trying to plant seeds in Flint's and Cassie's heads about Sumi's potential threat. They scare me the most going into merge because they are a big unknown factor. They have just as many  people on their tribe as us, and we barely know anything about them or their play style. Cassie seems on board to keeping Marie around for a little bit, but we need to start taking care of Sumi's numbers. If Boris is right, then they all shouldn't be too inactive so it'll be easy to convince people to take out inactive people. I just hope we can convince Marie and Lysandre to take out Sumi as well.

One good thing to take away from all this is that I am not seen as a leader, just very active. It paints a target on Cassie's back and not my own. They'll be going after her first. I'll just have to play along with this narrative until I stab her in the back. "

Charlie

I feel like ill be up for elimination this week because I sat out of the challenge. Its making me really nervous tbh

Marie

3 person tribes are very hard to navigate. You feel on top but on the bottom at the same time! It’s really weird because raul thinks it’s lys, but lys and I voted for raul. But I don’t know if lys actually voted for raul???? What if they voted for me?

Joey

we went back to our original tribes, so i’m now reunited with the majority alliance. i didn’t have to do the challenge, i don’t have to go to tribal, and we still have charlie as someone on the outs if we ever lose a challenge. my path to merge is set!

Marie

This is the most silent I’ve seen our tribe and it’s scary

Apollo

Ummmm Fuck Mea’s drag? I guess

Marie

Wow this game makes me feel like a horrible person. I thought I’d get through this with no regrets but having to comfort the person you voted for and telling them they aren’t going home sucks

Raul

I'm probably going home unless I pull off the impossible like this is gonna be a mess I really hope, I don't leave cause that would be a shame , I really really hope I convinced Marie to vote out lys and lys doesn't want Marie here it could be a 1-1-1 vote wouldn't that be cute

Beyoncé is not only celebrating talented women. She's paying them.

Get in formation and get information.

<br>

This week marks the first anniversary of Beyoncé's "Lemonade."

Do you remember where you were April 24, 2016? Of course you do. It was a cultural touchstone. It was the moon landing minus the conspiracy theories and white men.

To celebrate, Beyoncé established college scholarships for women!

More information after this celebratory Bey GIF!

Dance break! GIF via "7/11" video.

Formation scholars will be named for the 2017-18 school year to "encourage and support young women who are unafraid to think outside the box and are bold, creative, conscious and confident." The awards are available to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in African-American studies, literature, music, art, or creative arts.

Four institutions were selected for the program, and one Formation scholar will be selected from each school. The colleges include Howard University in Washington, D.C., Spelman College in Atlanta, Berklee College of Music in Boston, and Parsons School of Design at the New School in New York City.

Details, including the award amount and application deadlines, are available through each school's financial aid or scholarship office.

Queen Bey is benevolent, generous, and serious about lifting up black women.

"Lemonade" was a love letter to black women and girls, a melanin-rich piece of art that couldn't have come at a better time. Her tour raised money to support the families of Flint, Michigan. She spoke out against police violence after the deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling. Then, she campaigned for Hillary Clinton in hopes she would work on solutions for criminal justice reform and policies to fight poverty and racism.

With the creation of these scholarships — two at historically black colleges — Beyoncé continues to use her power and influence for good, all while making some of the most important music of the decade.

They don't call her queen for nothing.

Bow down.

Formation scholars will be named for the 2017-18 school year to "encourage and support young women who are unafraid to think outside the box and are bold, creative, conscious and confident." The awards are available to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in African-American studies, literature, music, art, or creative arts.

Four institutions were selected for the program, and one Formation scholar will be selected from each school. The colleges include Howard University in Washington, D.C., Spelman College in Atlanta, Berklee College of Music in Boston, and Parsons School of Design at the New School in New York City.

Details, including the award amount and application deadlines, are available through each school's financial aid or scholarship office.

Queen Bey is benevolent, generous, and serious about lifting up black women.

"Lemonade" was a love letter to black women and girls, a melanin-rich piece of art that couldn't have come at a better time. Her tour raised money to support the families of Flint, Michigan. She spoke out against police violence after the deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling. Then, she campaigned for Hillary Clinton in hopes she would work on solutions for criminal justice reform and policies to fight poverty and racism.

With the creation of these scholarships — two at historically black colleges — Beyoncé continues to use her power and influence for good, all while making some of the most important music of the decade.

They don't call her queen for nothing.

Bow down.

Orion as Companion

A few ME1 lines under the cut.

--

After the Commander collects all companions on Citadel:

“You know, I’m not all against aliens, despite Torfan,” he pauses, then smiles brilliantly at you, “I’m all for making nice with the aliens, but they put one toe outta line? Imma shoot them. No offense.”

Post Therum:

“That T’Soni has some nice eyes.” He notes quietly to himself, arms crossed over his chest. He blinks, then smiles wryly at you. “Hey there. Didn’t see you coming. Maybe keep that last comment to yourself, hmm?”

Letting the Rachni Queen go:

“Do you know how fast bugs reproduce?” He grumbles, glancing away from you. “I don’t have the answer but I can tell you that it’s hella fast.”

Killing the Rachni Queen:

“Killing an entire race, Commander?” He huffs, mildly amused. “Now we’re just like the rest of the galaxy. Not that I don’t approve, ‘cause I’d do the same in a heartbeat.”

Saving all Colonists on Feros + Convincing Exo-Geni to keep the Colony:

“Impressive work out there, Commander.” He starts with as you walk up to him. “Didn’t expect you to keep the entire colony in one piece. And that showdown with ExoGeni...” He whistles. “Mind teaching me some tricks? The way you talked them down, figured it wouldn’t hurt to start talking before I shot a politician.”

Killing all Colonists on Feros:

“I guess it was too bad they all went crazy on us.” Orion shrugs. “Maybe it’s better this way. Who knows if that Thorian stuff’s contagious. Plants with their seeds and spores...and that one was sentient. Eugh.”

Wrex convinced:

“Damn, Commander. You don’t just have balls, you have a krogan quad on ya.”

“Talking down Wrex like that...now I really need some pointers.”

“Next krogan that comes up, you’re taking care of them.”

Sacrificing Ashley at Virmire:

“Shame about Ashley.” He comments quietly. “She was a good soldier. Good head on her shoulders.” A pause as he glances away, and when his gaze returns to you, his grey eyes are icy cold chips of flint. “Saren’s going to pay for everything he’s done.”

Sacrificing Kaidan at Virmire:

“Shame about Kaidan.” He comments quietly. “One of the strongest human biotics I’ve known.” A pause as he glances away, and when his gaze returns to you, his grey eyes are icy cold chips of flint. “Saren’s going to pay for everything he’s done.”

Killing Balak in Bring Down the Sky:

“If it’s one thing I hate more than batarian slavers, it’s a power-crazed batarian.”

Saving hostages in Bring Down the Sky:

“We are going to fill Balak’s head full of holes the next time we see him, right? He’s a damn menace.”
