Sang C-Chang

As he made his way up the path that led to the sports field he spotted Sang already waiting for him where they had agreed to meet, and it wasn’t long before he was walking up to him, nodding his head a bit as they were finally standing next to each other. To him, it was a natural way to salute someone who was also a royal like himself, even if the other was a submissive. Such things were always embedded in his mind. “Hello yourself, Sang! Oh, perfect. Thank you” he said as he took the cup from his hand carefully. He took a small sip of the hot drink and hummed in approval. “Yes, of course. This way” he said, waving his free hand to where the door was, and they entered the field. 

“I think that’s the best way we can get to know each other, yes” he said with a soft chuckle, both of them already stepping onto the track field, which was located all around the main field. “Okay, let’s think… Oh, got one. Or something. heh.” He scrunched his nose a bit, and hoped his starting question wouldn’t be too lame, but they had to start somewhere, right? “What do you like to do on your spare time? And it doesn’t have to sbe any activity that we have available here, if you’re wondering.” He smiled at him and took another sip of coffee.

Sang followed Patrick as hey moved onto the field, watching the man and his mannerisms while they went. Walking, he allowed Patrick the room to talk, to ask whatever he wanted. Sang had never been the most talkative of people, and especially not in the presence of a Dominant, and another royal. Overall, he just wanted to follow the man’s lead. 

PM: That’s good. That’s a nice touch too, thank you. I’ll see you then.

——-

About five minutes before the agreed time, Patrick came out of the main door of the Dalton building, dressed in jeans and a white hoodie, and crossed the stoned pathway that led to where the sports field was. It wasn’t yet so late in the evening, so you can still see people walking about, many of them also doing the ice breaker event the school had put together.

And for Patrick, it couldn’t had come at a better time. His head had never been so messed up like it was right now, especially with that gossip about him and Omar that had just being posted. That carefree get-to-know-you kind of thing was just what he needed. He just hoped Sang, his partner for the weekend, was already there with his coffee.

About twenty minutes after their conversation Sang set out to the coffee shop on campus, picking up Patrick’s requested drink and a water for himself, before heading for their designated meeting place. Patrick hadn’t yet arrived, but Sang didn’t mind, and he waited patiently until his saw the man approaching. 

PM: That’s also true. Good for you to pick on that. I think a good walk, and some good conversation will do us both good. Regular Capuccino would fine, thank you. Meet me at main entrance of the sports field, let’s say in one hour?

PM: A walk would be nice Sir, that sounds good. Your offer is so kind, but I should be the one bringing the coffee. If you would tell me your order I could pick it up Sir. It sounds like we’ll have a good time. Where should I meet you?

I was told about my sister’s list and I find it intriguing. I want you all to rate your cooking skills from a scale of 1-10. Then tell me in 3-6 sentences how would you describe your cooking skill/ability.

I apologize for the less than prompt response Sir, I have been feeling ill for several days. I have recovered, however. On a scale of 1-10 I rate my cooking skills at a 9. I am well versed in making all sorts of cuisine from various lands, due to my family’s connections and the desire to impress at dinner parties. I take great care and put a lot of effort into the dishes I make. I have an impeccable attention to detail as well, and always love learning new recipes when called for. 

To all the so-called journalists on campus that will undoubtedly write about this, including the authors of weird websites that nobody has actually even heard of that have used my name as clickbait, and to all the relentless, unwashed hordes on social media that have taken every opportunity to talk about me and what I’m doing from the safety of their stained futons, I offer the following heartfelt sentiment: You can all suck it. Do you really want me looking at you?

@tgaimportant​

That was quite the interesting statement, Miss. I think you make an excellent point here. I am Sang Cohen-Chang, submissive, and new to TGA. Have a pleasant day, Miss. 

Wow, many new people to meet in what seems like so little time! So let me just hit y’all with a quick introduction for those that are new or probably passed me in the hallways in years past. Hi there, I’m Fletcher Hudson. Youngest of the Hudson kids, Lesbian, formerly a Dominate mark, recently changed to Switch mark — I write for the school newspaper which is something I’m very proud of, and always welcome to interview interesting people. So, if that’s you, please share! But uh— sorry about the ramble; happy to be surrounded by beautiful Sirs, Misses and Mxs. 

@tgaimportant​

Hello, Miss, and welcome back. This is my first year here, so allow me to introduce myself. I am Sang Cohen-Chang, from South Korea. I hope you have been able to get comfortable, being back here. If you need anything from me don’t hesitate to ask. Including an interview.

Listen the fuck up. I know I’m not the only one who’s seeing the shit on campus right now, and I know I’m not the only one who’s fucking appalled by it. So I’m proposing a safe place in the Submissive Support Group for people who want to voice how they’re feeling, or if not, just chill with your fellow Submissives. Because it’s bullshit, and I’m not going to ignore it. And what’s the point of the group if we’re not, y’know, supporting each other?

@tgaimportant​ @tgaclubs​

Thank you for posting the information Jules. I am still taking in and assessing the situation but I think a support group meeting is the best thing for everyone right now regardless of personal opinion 

With all the posts from Club Captains going up, it was only a matter of time before I posted one of my own too! For our first Club Challenge I’m going to keep things simple, because I know so many of my members are new to the whole knitting experience, and because one of the coolest things about knitting as a craft is that even some of the simplest things can be and are still really beautiful! So, our first challenge is going to be:

POTHOLDERS GALORE!

I would love to see everyone give me the best potholders they can! Use any kind of yarn or technique you’d like, and make them any size! If you need help or ideas let me know, I’ve got plenty of examples and would be happy to walk anyone through their first project! I’m giving everyone two weeks for this, because it’s a small project for any skill level, but I know these things do take time. I’d love to see anyone not in the club joining in, or if you’d like myself or one of our members to make you your own personalized potholder, let me know! I’m so eager to see what everyone comes up with!

@tgaimportant @tgaclubs​

I haven’t ever knitted before, Claire, but I have to admit this seems like it could be a very relaxing hobby to pick up. If you have some time to meet this week, to help get me started, I’d like to at least complete the challenge. 

Hey everyone! It came to my attention that I’ve been nominated to run for Switch Mark Leader during this bout of elections. To start, I want to give another big thanks to Miss Madison for believing in me enough to put my name up for nomination. Second, I want you all to know that I’m working on putting together a post that really embodies every one of my thoughts and plans for this election cycle. You’ll see that from me tomorrow, I’m a little too tired tonight to put it together and make as much sense as I want to. But, it’s coming. I’m planning to host a couple of thought circles and brainstorming sessions between now and the official election, which will be set up to be an open-floor, discussion-based, Q&A format. I’ll get the dates and times for those out in the post tomorrow. In the meantime, if anyone has any thoughts or anything else they’d like to share or bring up to me, consider this your open invite! I want to hear from all of you, no matter what you’ve got to say!

With that out of the way, I want to put out there that I really hope everyone is going okay, and hopefully even better than okay. With everything that’s been happening and going on, if anyone needs a friend, a shoulder, or a good cup of tea, my door will always be open and my lips will always be sealed. I’m working on some pretty big things, things I’m really excited about, and I hope all of you will be too! I’m excited to pump out the announcements I have over the next few days. 

@tgaimportant​

I’m sorry this doesn’t have more responses Sir, because this is one of the best posts regarding the election that I have seen. You are very obviously a good candidate for the position, and I really love the idea that you’re starting up this dialogue, and giving people the chance to talk with you about this. I’ll attend your open forums happily. 

My, I can already see that I have arrived at quite a lively time, to say the least. While I have no qualms against making sure my belongings arrive securely to my suite, a spot of company would not be frowned upon if anyone feels up to taking a break from…Whatever is going on here. Either way, a proper introduction is in order, though I will keep things brief as I can see I am not the first to arrive this day. My name is Sophia St. James! It is lovely to meet all of you, and to have the chance to say hello to some dear old friends! 

@tgaimportant​

Miss Sophia! It is such a great pleasure to see you again, it has been too long. Please, allow me to assist with anything you may need. I hope your accommodations are comfortable and up to par Miss. 

Knock, knock again, everyone~ 

I want to start this off by saying that everyone who has been nominated so far to be Submissive Mark Leader are excellent candidates. I wish everyone running all the luck and all the love in the world. I know I’ve only just returned to The Academy but I was previously a student here for a long time and I’ve been thinking about this for a while. So that being said, I’d like to throw my name in the running for Submissive Mark Leader. My name is Valeria Aguirre, for anyone I haven’t formally met yet or for anyone who may not recognize me. 

Because I just returned, I won’t pretend I have a full, in-depth understanding of all issues present within the Submissive student body yet. But I do have eyes and ears. If anyone has any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions, please do respond, regardless of what your mark is. With how many different kinds of opinions here, this should absolutely be a collaborative effort. And even if I am not elected this time or at all, I do think it would be prudent for the elected Mark Leader to have access to any thoughts shared here.

That said, I do have a few thoughts already, myself. 

One thought I have is a mentorship program where some of the responsibilities our Headmistress laid out wouldn’t just rely on the Mark Leader, but on a group of students and in a more structured manner. It would be 100% voluntary and the idea may have some kinks to work out but I’m thinking perhaps a group of rotating students from the Submissive Support Group can volunteer to be mentors and take any newcomers or struggling students under their wing to help make sure they feel welcomed, answer any questions they have, encourage club and event engagement, and ensure they have a way for their biological needs to be met- whether that be encouraging them to place their name on Eleanor’s fantastic list or recommending Dominants and Switches to reach out to. I know we have a good set of students already who are extremely nice and welcoming as it is but having a concrete plan in place would help make sure nobody slips through the cracks, especially during times of high stress or high activity. Another thought here is to ensure there is not just the Mark Leader people can go to for support and it is not just the Mark Leader reaching out to people and shouldering that responsibility. Everyone is allowed to have off days, everyone is allowed to be busy, and this would make sure that new students are being looked out for. 

Branching off of that, I think there should be some sort of service to new/returning students to help them catch up on any current curriculum, especially if they’re arriving mid-semester. This is actually inspired by Mason when he very selflessly volunteered to help me get caught up on classwork when I first returned. (He’s been nominated, by the way, and I think he’d do great in this role!) It would act as a tutoring service of sorts but based on initiative on the support group’s end. We all know what it’s like to be the new person and for some of us, that can be pretty nerve-racking. In addition, it’s no secret the old ways didn’t facilitate Submissives voicing their opinions, needs, or wants. I think it would be a downright crime to assume that past doesn’t have such a strong impact on our current Submissive student body and I would hate for that to keep anyone from getting assistance so the initiative on our end would help bridge that gap. 

If you’ve managed to read this far, thank you for hearing me out. I know this is a giant wall of text but I hope everyone knows that this is coming from the heart and a willingness to lead and support our fellow students. 

@tgaimportant , @tgaclubs​

It is very obvious that you have purely good ideas Valeria, and I’m excited to see you getting involved in this and making your mark. I suport your positions and find that we are similar in our ways of thinking on many points. This may end up being a close election, but I like that you’ve compiled these suggestions already. May I ask what you are thinking in regards to getting people interested in being interactive, and taking these steps for accountability?

back on campus

Kinda feels like I never left.  For those of you I don’t know- I’m Bellamy Fabray.  Hi. 

@tgaimportant​

That must be a miserable feeling, my condolances. Welcome back however, it looks like you’re having no trouble fitting in so that’s a bonus. I’m Sang Cohen-Chang, also a submissive. 

As we transition fully into campaigning for Mark Leadership, I wish to formally announce my intention to run for the Dominant Mark Leader. I possess many ideas, and have many suggestions to make in the way of improvements not only for those carrying the Dominant mark, but for the entirety of the student body. If elected, I have intend to set forth plans which will unify the Dominants of this school, as well as to give all the opportunity to be heard. I shall be releasing a more formal statement consisting of my thoughts, suggestions, and campaign plans this evening, however I simply wished to make my intentions formally known at this time. I encourage each of you, Dominant or not, to respond to this post at your earliest convenience. If you are a Dominant student, please state any concerns you have regarding your mark, the expectations of Dominant students as they stand, and what precisely you wish to see from anyone stepping into the Mark Leader position. If you are a Switch, please respond detailing how you feel you could best be included within the realm of Dominance, whether you were a Dominant or a submissive prior to receiving your new marks. Also, please state any improvements or changes you wish to see made, along with any areas of concern you currently have. Finally, if you are a submissive, please respond with the same- tell me what you feel about the ratios of Dominants and submissives on campus, and what precisely you wish to see changed or improved upon by the individual within the Mark Leader position. No names must be used, but please do try to be as honest as you can. If you are more comfortable responding privately, or if you wish to speak to me directly about any of the above, please do not hesitate to reach out in DMs, text, or in a face-to-face capacity. Thank you all for your time and consideration. I greatly look forward to campaigning, and to the Election itself.  @tgaimportant​

It is no surprise that you have always had one of the most refined political palates Miss, and it is obvious by your statement here. You have my vote, of course, and my support. Outside of elections have you been well Miss Clarington?

I noticed the announcement about Mark Leaders, and I’ve been thinking about it. So, I want to formally nominate both my brother, Ambrose Eliot-Abrams, and Eleanor Flanagan for submissive Mark Leader. Both of these people are really amazing people and submissives, and I know either of them would do really well in the position. If they accept, it’ll be a great race!

@subambrose​ @eleanor-flanagan​ @tgaimportant​

Hello Claire, I am Sang Cohen-Chang. It’s nice to see people getting involved in elections of any kind, knowing that you are invested in making a difference is meaningful. Why not indulge in a self-nomination?

I’m glad you mentioned that because it looks like our handsome sibling might be shacking up with the son of a politician. According the newspaper, anyway. I haven’t had the chance to properly catch up with him on everything but I’m sure if you and I corner him, he’ll have no choice but to tell us what’s going on. Look at you, out there doing the lord’s work. Handsome and thoughtful, you’ll get yourself a claim in no time. And of course that’s not all you’re good for. You’re also good for helping me pick out new colors for my nails. Where do I even begin? Let’s start with the royals. Messy, messy. But that’s to be expected, I’m messy too. One thing you won’t have to worry about, though, is any of the big royal doms messing with you for no reason. They’re too scared to start a war or spend longer than they have to at McKinley. There’s a few non-royal dom/mes to look out for, though. Let me put those worries to rest, my sweet sweet brother. I’d hate for you to get worry lines. Hm, you drive a hard bargain but I can do it better. Famous tea and a hug, deal? Uh-huh, if you’re the picture of perfection then I must be an angel from above. I tease, though, I’m sure you’ll get along just fine. 

Shacking up? The son of a politician? I can appreciate the connections he’s making, but who is this person? I feel like I’ve missed so much already. We very well may be required to tag team him. He still hasn’t shown his face, despite my arrival, and I’m hearing some concerning things. At least, things I think may be concerning. What are your thoughts on the situation, Hana? What should we be prepared for? I just want to put forth my best and most solid effort. With how uncertain things are within these new ways, it’s important to build the sturdiest foundation possible. I hope you’re right. Sometimes I worry. I’m happy to do that, I may have you paint mine as well. Messy has never been a look I wear well, I hope no one expects me to participate in whatever antics you’re speaking of. I’m shocked that it seems so few others are aware of how to appropriately conduct themselves, and royals no less. It’s a pity. That’s positive at the very least, and something I appreciate. I may appear docile, but I do not appreciate being messed with in any capacity. Have they begun to transition anyone out of the McKinley building? Have they set forth specific qualifications for such? You must be kidding. Non-royals to worry about? Who should I look out for? I have no desire to land myself in a situation in which I am forced to step outside of myself, but I won’t stand for being pushed around. Too late, I’m sure I was born with them, sister. It’s a deal, yes. Oh, right, of course. An angel, they broke the mold with you. I hope so. I’m nervous, Hana. 

This is also my first time here. It’s nice to meet someone who hasn’t been here for a while or is a returning student. I’m Riley Puckerman, a Switch, it’s nice to meet you, Sang! Did you manage to get settled in and find your siblings? What sort of service do you like to do?

Welcome then, Miss! I’m glad I could provide that. It’s nice to meet you too! I did yes, on both counts Miss. Well, Hana found me, it does appear that I will need to track down Ari, but I don’t mind doing that. Oh, I enjoy all types of service Miss. Anything that is asked or required of me, I shall happily carry out. Is there anything I can do for you?
