If anyone ever comes back to their accounts to check on anything out of curiosity and you see this journal, especially if you were a good friend of mine back in our rping days, I'd absolutely love to reconnect and keep in touch. I miss all of you guys so much ;; The nostalgia for here is especially strong during the summers and I've tried to find my past friends to strike up a conversation (but without much luck on some). 

I'm still a bit active on my main DA iAzurine, and on my Tumblr blog iAzurinex if you ever want to talk. I just remember how goofy the old days were and I kinda want to get some of that back, even if it's not in the same fandom anymore (since admittedly I don't like Hetalia anymore but still love independent personifications). I know we've all grown up, some of us are in college (such as myself), or already out there working. But I just want to know how all of you guys are doing. Assuming anyone sees this journal.

On an extra note, I went to the Westman Islands in real life last month. Ya girl made it. A bit surreal visiting a faraway place you made an OC of as a kid if you ask me, but it was amazing and I plan on returning next year if I can when I study in Iceland. They weren't joking about the windiness there. It was almost painful sometimes since for whatever reason, I decided to camp in the valley instead of staying in a hotel in town. But at the same time it was totally worth it since my view was basically mountains, sheep, and some islands in the distance. Here's a few pictures from there. The first one was my view at the campsite.

I miss this guy, and everyone else... although I'm aware of the fact that practically everyone is dead except a few.

I was going through files on my laptop and deleting useless ones since I need to get my laptop ready for school. And I happened to stumble upon a plot I wrote a long time ago but don't know if I ever shared or not. I don't think I'm going to be continuing it anytime soon since I have a lot to do, but it's good to keep it in mind for the distant future when I have time to draw out the pages and stuff. 

Title: Ashfall 

Plot:

Near the distant future; Katla has erupted

            After years of being overdue for an eruption, Katla, one of Iceland’s major volcanoes, has finally erupted. At first the eruption only causes a disruption in air traffic across Europe and parts of North America, but as the weeks continue the volcano proves to have become a larger international threat similar to the 1783 eruption of Laki. The global climate starts to drop, bringing upon harsher winters and crop failures across the northern hemisphere. As the sky is blanketed with a noxious mixture of poisonous and acidic gases from the volcano’s ashes, populations in various countries begin to suffer from respiratory diseases and ultimately, death. With the mortality rate rising from Katla’s short-term and long-term effects, Iceland becomes plagued by haunting nightmares and the overwhelming guilt of having claimed the lives of thousands of people.

Results:

    ·         Glacier on top of Katla melts, washing away roads around the area

    ·         Farms are covered with volcanic ash

    ·         Major impact on air traffic

    ·         Increased coughing and eye and skin irritation; lung conditions

    ·         Cooldown in temperatures; sulfur released from volcanic eruptions can cool the Earth; sulfur forms sulfuric acid droplets that can block the sunlight hitting the Earth; these sulfur infused droplets can stay in the atmosphere for a year

    ·         Laki eruption in the past caused extreme weather across the world and contributed to rise of respiratory diseases

    ·         Eruption lead to acid rain (acid coating on volcanic ash is removed by rain); acid rain pollutes local water supplies and causes damage to vegetation;
livestock affected 



I also have the cover page sketched out it seems. It's not outlined or coloured yet, but it has Iceland being pulled underwater by shadowy hands and arms (represented either by his nightmares in the plot, or the souls of people who died as a result)
