@dr-gaston-lefevre
Itâs like super quiet, who opened up The Academyâs torture dungeon and threw everyone inside? Whenever things are quiet like this, a whole bunch of either cool or terrifying shit usually pops off unexpectedly.Â
@tgaimportantâ
All the more reason to enjoy the quiet while it lasts, no? Regardless, I agree, and I hope whatever does âpop offâ next is cool, not terrifying.
GastonâïžÂ Omar
Gaston: Good evening, Omar. I hope you have had a pleasant evening. It appears we were paired together for the event planned by Darrean Anderson. Would you prefer to wait for him to post the list of questions or create our own?
New week, new fun, cool thing. If you venture into the auditorium, youâll find an old, rusting car. Super normal, right? Under the car is a tarp, and with the car are painting supplies. Spray paint, paint in buckets, paint in airbrush form. Itâs there to be beautified and decorated. Donât worry about perfectionism, like Bob Ross says there are no mistakes, only happy accidents. Next week, there will be old baseball bats and gold clubs that were donated for this instead of thrown away that you can all use to beat the beautiful car up. All thanks for this genius plan go to Ashton Evans, for inquiring minds.Â
@tgaimportantâ
It is not really my kind of thing, but I could see how some would consider it cathartic. My Lorelai may be interested in the painting part, I will mention it to her.
Congratulations to everyone who won the Mark Leader elections. I have no doubts that all of those who were elected will be wonderful leaders. Iâm looking forward to seeing where the elections lead. Does anyone have plans for the rest of the week, or anything big for the weekend?
@tgaimportantâ
I do not have any plans for the coming days or the weekend, though it appears Darrean has something planned for us all, so time will tell how that will change. What about you, Liam? Have you been well?
Thank you to everyone who voted in the Mark Leader Election! I know I ran unopposed, but it still means a lot that people believed in me enough to vote for me instead of abstaining. I want everyone to know that I am planning on taking this as seriously as it deserves to be taken. I already have so many ideas, and I canât wait to set them into motion. To begin, I want to open the floor to my fellow Switches. I would really like some feedback, to hear what it is youâre all specifically hoping to see improve here for those carrying the new mark. What challenges have you faced? What questions do you have? What would be most beneficial to you at this stage of things? Let me know, I want to hear from each of you!
I donât want anyone to think theyâve been forgotten. While these elections were to unify the marks, with the way things have been going I think we could all do with some unity. Iâm working on another idea for this weekend. One that I hope will help everyone start to rebuild some of these bridges. Iâm not going to reveal what itâs for, because I donât want that to be used as a reason people donât attend, or skip out. But, I would like for everyone- and I do mean everyone- to leave their name and mark down below. Iâll release the âwhyâ later. Just know that this is for an event that will require participation this weekend. It wonât be massive and it wonât take up too much time, but it will happen in parts, and it will require some effort. So again, please just leave your name and mark down below, and leave the rest to me! I hope Iâll see everyone responding soon.Â
@tgaimportantâ
Interesting. Iâm not one much for surprises, but I will play along. Gaston Lefevre, Dominant.Â
They say that as the seasons shift and warmer weather begins to move in, the blanket of SAD and seasonal depression is supposed to begin lifting. I donât know if itâs connected to what has been going on lately, or if itâs something else, but it seems that even the warm, inviting weather has done nothing much for the fog Iâve found myself in recently. I donât know that there was an overarching point to this, other than for me to express myself a bit, in a way I donât normally. Either way, I hope everyone is getting the chance to enjoy the warm, beginning-of-Spring weather. @tgaimportantâ
I think more of us have been feeling this than care to admit. You are not alone. Would you like to come over and join Lorelai and I for dinner one day this week?
âMaĂźtre?â Lorelai asked, smiling up at Gaston, hands placed neatly and palms upturned atop her thighs. âMay I ask a question?â
@dr-gaston-lefevreâ
Gaston looked down at her with a soft smile on his face. âOf course. What is on your mind, Lorelai?â he asked, curious.
Hello again, everybody. The safe space / mark-free zone has been a big hit. Tonight, Iâve taken another suggestion into organization mode and if you head on down anytime until Monday morning youâll be able to take part in a spot of friendly video game competition. Weâre going to keep things chill and stick to the Wii, starting with Mario Party and voting through the other games Iâve got in here until everyoneâs over it or falls asleep. There are snacks, drinks, and a bit of a dinner buffet. Just try to keep the controllers clean, please. No fighting. I might not be there or be there for long, I have some personal stuff to tend to tonight but Iâll put what I can into this for everyone. The tutor will be there, regardless, to make sure nothing insane happens.
@tgaimportantâ
I am not much of a gamer, as they say, but I will stop by and lend my support regardless. Please let me know if Lorelai and I can do anything to provide assistance beyond financial support.Â
Jeff đ±Gaston
Jeff: Oh okay sir, I mean I've done something like that before...just wasnt consensual. Well I hope it goes through well for you both, you're very well fit together.
Gaston: I understand. Are you still interested in observing knowing that?
Jeff đ±Gaston
Jeff: Understandable sir, I wouldnt expect to do it without her okay. All I know is that you are in a claim together, that is all.
Gaston: I'm glad I asked. Lorelai and I live a consensual Master and slave dynamic. She has detailed rules, a schedule, and rituals that she follows every day. I had assumed you knew and you asked because that was what you were interested in. Our dynamic is no secret. Technically, at the moment, we are only in a claim review, but yes, we were in a claim for about ten years prior to its dissolution.
Lorelai: [Feeling her MaĂźtre running his fingers through her hair, Lorelai looked up at him with a smile, ready for whatever he felt it necessary to do or discuss.] A pet, MaĂźtre? I would love that! I've wanted a pet for a long time, and I'm so excited they've decided to allow us to have them. Did you have anything specific in mind, MaĂźtre?
Gaston: I was thinking either 2 guinea pigs or perhaps a dog, but if we were to get a dog, I would want it to be the sort that does not shed much if at all. You know how hair all over would annoy me. [Even before Gaston met Lorelai, he always liked to have a clean and tidy space.]
fletcherhudâ:
Been settling in as much as one can when youâre trying to make your new space more homey. Well thatâs awesome, Sir, thank you for the offer! Once I get my schedule figured out I would love to interview you.Â
Ah, yes, Lorelai handled that for us. You should see the decorating she does for holidays. Very good. Contact me when you are ready.

PRIVATE:
All of that sounds good, Sir, so long as itâs not inherently sexual.
PM: Of course, and should you start to feel uncomfortable for any reason I want you to tell me. Wear whatever you are most comfortable with for the scene.
Jeff đ±Gaston
Jeff: Honestly sir, I'd like to, in a way, see how a normal day with you as Dom is, to a degree. Experience a working claim...does that make sense>
Gaston: It does. I'm not going to agree to this without making sure Lorelai is comfortable with it. I will talk to her and get back to you. You are aware of our dynamic, yes?
As promised, I am back with a more in-depth post about what Iâve been working on over the past couple of weeks. Without further delay, Iâd like to officially invite each and every one of you to TGAâs first ever REJUVENATION RETREAT! Iâve been thinking about putting something like this together for a while, and Iâm really excited to finally see it come to fruition. There are going to be a lot of moving parts to this, so bear with me while I get through everything! I hope at the end, youâll all feel moved and inclined to join in on the fun!
Itâs no secret that yoga, meditation, and connecting with the higher self are all parts of my kooky preachings Iâve spewed on campus since the day I got here- and I donât just mean this time around. But, they arenât just that- theyâre things I personally live by, and teachings/practices I wholeheartedly believe could benefit each and every person on campus. So, as we collectively come out of what has undeniably been another majorly divisive shift here at the Academy, I think now is the perfect time to focus on re-centering, relaxing, refreshing, and rejuvenating ourselves.Â
Over the course of this weekend, myself and several other amazing students here will be hosting a series of workshops, all designed to help everyone get back to what really is important- mental, spiritual, and emotional health, as well as bonding and building positive and healthy relationships with those around us. These workshops will be interactive, educational, but most of all, theyâll be fun! Now, you donât have to attend every single one to participate in the retreat, feel free to pick and choose which most speak to you! But, below Iâll leave a list of the workshops, including times, locations, and short descriptions of each. If everyone who wants to participate could reply letting me know which workshops you plan to attend, AND WHO YOUR PARTNER WILL BE for the partners workshops that would be great! Please remember that if you donât have a partner, please let me know so I can pair people up! I want to make sure I have enough supplies and space for all! Iâm really looking forward to this, and I hope to see everyone out, even if itâs just for one or two! As motivation, for every workshop you attend, your name will be placed in a raffle for a large prize-basket, the contents of which will include but not be limited to gift cards, self-care kits, yoga supplies, art supplies, and a few fun but educational books/materials to help in your quest for relaxation and self-discovery!Â

Get started on your yoga journey! Each participant will receive a free yoga mat to take back with them!

Learn how to strengthen your relationship while strengthening your core with this coupleâs yoga how-to. *THIS WORKSHOP REQUIRES PARTICIPATION WITH A PARTNER 3:30 PM: Who Are You, Anyway?- A workshop focused on YOU! Spend time in discussion forums, taking self-discovery quizzes, and learning about understanding all the things that make you, you! 4:30 PM: Sexual Healing- End this weekend retreat with a workshop that offers exactly what it sounds like- tips and education on foreplay techniques, exploration and demonstration of various kinks, erotic massage, and other methods of self-care through sexual discovery and healing. All participants will go home with a goodie bag full of fun, sensual toys and treats. *THIS WORKSHOP REQUIRES PARTICIPATION WITH A PARTNER
@tgaimportantâ
I will be doing all of the activities on Saturday, and then the two couples things on Sunday with my Lorelai.Â
Jeff đ±Gaston
Jeff: Honestly sir, new experiences and maybe a friendship in a way. I know thats very simple but thats really I can think to say.
Gaston: What sort of new experiences?
PM: Good afternoon Claire. It has been a while since I have heard from you, so I wanted to reach out and see if you were still interested in the nonsexual scene we had been discussing.
DM: Good afternoon Sir! Iâm sorry for that, things have been a little weird lately. I am, yes! Iâm with Miss Kady for the day, but Iâm free any other time that may work for you! Are you doing well Sir?
claireisaneliot-abramsâ:
DM: Youâre right Sir, it was the strangest by far. Any of that sounds like something I am comfortable with Sir. But from what you said, I am most interested in the domestic service side of things. I havenât ever served as furniture before, but I would really like to try it, itâs something Iâve thought about a lot but never really knew how to ask for.Â
DM: Iâm doing well Sir, thank you for asking. Iâm working on pulling together a cooking class project with my partner Wyatt. So thatâs where a lot of my focus has been recently. Do you have plans for the weekend Sir?
PM: We can do something where you cook me a meal and serve as my furniture.
PM: That sounds very nice. I was thinking of ordering you for one day this weekend...will you be attending the self care retreat at all?
