Russ' Updates #124: Progress

Good evening, loves! 💛

Hope you've all been doing okay! People have been getting more and more sick lately; it might be because of the weather? Regardless, I hope everything's going great!

I was only able to post one thing last week--I know that I promised to hopefully go get back to my a-game, but last week was a little rough and I didn't want to force myself to post something for the hell of it. This week, though, I promise to make up for it! Acads are a bit lighter on me this week despite it being midterm week, so expect the same from me with an additional graphic or short. 🌸

[Coalesce Update]: I think y'all are going to be happy to hear that I've done a lot of progress when it comes to determining what happens per arc! The timeline is a little difficult to set up, but based on what I've got, I'm pretty happy with it. There's still gonna be some additions and modifications here and there, but I'm at least 70% sure that what I've planned is canon.

"That's good to hear!"

Russ' Updates #123: Steps

Hi there! Apologies for the late RussDate--I had to complete some academic requirements first before devoting myself to the blog and everything. I think you can say that things are getting interesting around here because it's that point where things are starting to pick up? (Although let's be real, I say that every week.) It's not exactly midterms week, not yet, but--it's picking up. 

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty beat--but that's not the point! If anything, I'm pretty happy that I was able to stick to the things I was supposed to post. Especially with the graphic for Soo-yeon; if I had to be honest, I wanted to spend a bit more time figuring out what exactly happens to her...and I'm happy to say that I'm slowly getting things down! Baby steps. 👍

For this week, I'm still sticking to two other posts a week. Again, baby steps! I'm hoping to slowly increase it, but for now, I don't really want to force myself. 

"Shh. That's alright!"

“I can’t believe you have plans for tonight,” Mack complained. “And to think that it would just be the two of us before, hooking each other up and being the other’s wing-person.” Aether couldn’t help but laugh, she reached over and gave Mack’s hair a ruffle before reclining into her seat and taking her phone. There was a hint of a smile on her face that the other saw, and as pouty as the other was being, he had to admit that seeing Aether happy was enough for him. Despite his teasing, he managed to put a smirk on his face. “Gonna get freaky tonight, Aether?”

“Shut up,” she laughed. “Nothing freaky’s happening tonight. Mathieu just told me that he wanted to take me out, probably somewhere fancy. You’d think that he’d stop with the surprises, honestly, considering that he took me to Tokyo for my birthday.” 

“Don’t complain. It looks like you’ve got him around your finger, and that might come to your advantage if you two do things tonight.” Mack threw her an exaggerated wink and she snorted, balling up a piece of spare paper and throwing it at him. He dodged, “Is he picking you up here, or are you going home early to prepare?” 

“I’m leaving soon.” She glanced at her phone, “No overtimes for me today, Mack. Which is a good change,” she admitted. He nodded. “How about you, though? Any plans?” 

“Pete’s my wingman for tonight, and that’s going to go so well.” He rolled his eyes, “We’ll be each other’s wingman, if that makes sense. But I’m already preparing for disappointment.” 

“Tinder’s calling you back.” 

Russ' Updates #122: Valentine's

Hi, everyone! 

I'll admit--it's a little hard wanting to post on here while at the same time having different academic and non-academic obligations going on. 😅 Considering that it's only February, I'm a bit surprised that I'm already starting to get swamped--but hey, such is life and I should be getting used to it by now. [shrug emoji] 

But that aside, how are you guys? Valentine's is coming tomorrow, and despite how bitter I may be in real life, I genuinely do wish that whoever's got dates do enjoy them. For those who don't, that's fine--I mean, I'll just be catching up on schoolwork tomorrow night as well. Do expect something to be posted tomorrow, though! I might be posting a graphic or a short that commemorates my feelings towards this ridiculously capitalized holiday. 

"You...you really are bitter."
