VALENTINES SHOOT💞
The Valentine’s Day photoshoot that was done in February was amazing! This group of people that I work with is so much fun! We provide great energy, great atmosphere, and we already can’t wait to do something similar in the near future. Thank you all so much for the amazing feedback on the photos as some of them are on my Instagram (HERE). This was also the first time that I was trying out recording B-roll footage and with my first try, I am inspired to do more!
BIRTHDAY SHOOT🎉
With the success of these photoshoots, I wanted to take a stab at doing a more intimate one solo-wise. With my birthday coming up, I wanted to do more of a professional and reflective birthday shoot showcasing different sides of myself. I’m still working out the finer details, but working with the same photography group, I’m sure that we can capture whatever is in my chaotic mind. I’m very grateful to be alive today and have done so much because of it. Literally living out my mantra “No Matter How Much It Hurts, Move Forward” and boy… has it been hurting a lot for a bit, but we’re still pressing on. Speaking of which...
MOVING🏡
Since the beginning of the year, there has been a lot more stress on my plate so to speak. For those that don’t know, I do operate a 9-5 and my manager has been on maternity leave since the end of last year. It has been incredibly stressful maintaining multiple workloads with the cherry on top being a coworker quitting, but I’m trying my best. I am finding success, but there are some difficulties especially with this stuff interfering with my creative and personal lives. Of course, the 9-5 takes the highest priority, but this does create a cause for me to move closer to work as I am an hour away and commuting has become another huge hassle/hurdle. I’ve moved A LOT over the last several years and it’s exhausting even thinking about it, but in order to work out this tribulation, I’m going to have to move closer, which will also on a positive note enable me to have more time for my personal and creative endeavors. This is expected to happen at the end of spring/early fall.
ARCANE FINISHED🎬
Season 2 is finished!!! I’m so glad that we were able to view and react to this season as well. I understand that a lot of information was given to us in a compacted fashion, but I still thoroughly enjoyed Season 2 of Arcane. This one definitely brought us on a roller coaster of emotions...ESPECIALLY Episode 7 😭. I’m very curious of how Season 3 will play out in the coming years as we have seen the new cinematic trailer within the Patreon Reaction Livestream 116. Speaking of Arcane…
EKKO SCHEMING⏳
Some of y’all knew that this HAD to be coming at some point! I am prepping doing the cosplay of Ekko for at least 1 of 2 events. The first one, still in development, but if we’re able to pull this off this would be an amazing collaboration. I have spoken about this a little bit, but I will be collaborating with another cosplayer that will do Jinx!! Yeah… I’m fucking excited about it too! A lot of preparation needs to be done especially in the physical health department 🤣 and luckily I’m becoming more healed in my ankle and will start to incorporate home workouts a lot more to keep myself consistent. The second event would be for…
CON👹
I will be attending another popular Con later on in the year where I will also be meeting some of my friends/collaborators for the very first time IRL. I’m so excited to be going to this, but also a lot of preparation needs to be done prior to that. I'll also be doing my first Con-Lineup and also doing cosplay collabs with some people from the crew! Some have already been shown, but I might have to tweak, replace, restructure, re-think, etc. More details to follow.
MERCH👕
And finally, MERCH! My plan is to expand the merch store massively over the next couple of weeks/months. I’ve had a notepad full of ideas for a VERY long time, but since I’m struggling in the time availability section of my life, 🤣, it’s been hard to really designate time to tackle this task. More details to follow with this as well, but this will be done before the summer arrives.
I believe that wraps up everything!! I’ve been wanting to make this post for awhile now, but with work being a detriment, it takes away massive amount of time that I can utilize for other things. So it’s been…difficult. We’re managing the best that we can, but I’m so excited for other projects to finally get started and for some to get expanded! Thank you all so much for engaging with me, talking with me, chilling with me in the livestreams, etc.! You guys have no idea how much I love and appreciate you just being here... I will try to be more engaging with detailing more behind-the-scenes stuff, upcoming things, etc.
Love you all, drink your water, and be yourselves.
