We may have “lost” the game in the sense that “the other team scored more points than we did and they got to take the trophy home for the tenth year in a row.”
But their peasant three star Supe has to salute our four starSupe.
The most important game of the year is coming next weekend: The VMI-Citadel game, where the only two true Military Colleges do battle for the prestigious “Silver Shako.”
Note: KL is not advocating for massive Rat-Knob brawl, no matter how epic and awesome it would be. Seriously though, don’t do it.
I don’t think I ever shared this part of my story for many reasons. But it goes back to early 2016… that’s when it started. I remember hiding every day… in the library, in labs… just anywhere I could but eventually I had to go back to my room.
And so for 4 months I was quiet. My grades were great (it was my only distraction), but inside I was lost. And… then I said something to someone and everything went from bad to worse. I had to leave.
This whole time, I had been numb. My parents knew something was wrong but couldn’t figure it out (and how could I tell them? I am supposed to be a man…). So I left the school. I was far from recovery…
Until January, every night I had to sleep with the lights on. I was afraid, triggered by darkness. It wasn’t until Sept of the next year when I stopped having nightmares. Even now it’s hard to think about.
I wish I would’ve held my ground and whistle blew. Maybe I could’ve prevented other victims, but I wasn’t ready…
I drew this colorful everyday Citadel marketplace scene for an upcoming fanmade Mass Effect zine! It’s not out yet (more details coming about the digital release date and such…) but the organizers kindly gave me permission to post this in the meantime.
The Citadel is my favorite place in Mass Effect, and the Wards (especially the parts Shepard explores in the DLC) are my favorite place on the Citadel. I wanted this picture to look like everyone in it has a little story of their own going on.
