I just want to clarify something about that “Q-word” scene real quick.

‘’Most’’ of the tribe (aka, the ones that stayed silent) would’ve had about the same reaction as Ricki, who did look at him and say “Not funny.” I intended for the awkwardness there to come more from people not really knowing what to say given Penelope’s reaction.

Also, not being a member of the LGBTTQ community myself, I had assumed that the word “queer” was the way you described it, interchangeable with “gay.” But, I wasn’t sure if that was me being ignorant or not, so I wanted to be careful. I knew it wasn’t as bad as the six-letter “f-word” (and I wouldn’t dare have had Emil go that far), but I still wanted to be careful.

Glad to see that you’re invested in the alliance mess on Sena. I’m having a lot of fun writing the dynamic there. :)
