In answer to the question I asked in the title, not much. I've been wanting to come back to DA officially for a good few months now, beginning of August to be exact. After my graduation I wanted to take a bit of time to be a typical artist and take some time to think about what I was going to do with my life which is something my parents also asked me and I never had an answer to it.
I took some time off, I joined the UK benefit agency which I'm not sure I can actually name for legal reasons. I had panic attacks trying to complete what they were asking me to do and even though I got a job before they officially payed me the first lot of money they tried to entrap me which I recognised almost immedaitely and bailed as soon as I could but I digrese.
I'm coming back to DA as a way to deal with the stress that I get and may even write some things since I do enjoy writing short little stories, it's quite sweet to me~

I've been gone for such a long time and I don't blame you guys if you're annoyed with me, angry or even upset that I left for so long, honestly though, I was ashamed. Ashamed that I left for so long and said nothing, I considered coming back and never knew how or what to say but today I built myself up and just told myself to get something down and apologise. So to everyone who rea this and wondered where I've been, I'm sorry.

Hey guys, I've been gone for a majority of July and June and also some of May. I've told some of you a few reasons, like looking for jobs and getting roped into helped uni and also a huge one has been that:

I'M GRADUATING UNIVERSITY TOMORROW AND I'M SHITTING MYSELF!

I'm graduating tomorrow and my brain has barely caught up with me about it. I was so lax this morning and it's slowly been creeping up on me and now I'm in a flustered panic. I have everything all sorted and I should be fine but still, it's going to be odd seeing everyone tomorrow despite the fact that I saw them about a month or so ago but I still miss them all from Nathan with his strong Irish accent (slightly less strong than jackscepticeye) to Dom who I bonded with over pokemon and Gravity Falls. There's a few I don't miss but there's always people like that in life and can't let every single jerk in your life bother you~
Also, quick shoutout to Dark! I'm graduating with and she's a star~ She's been keeping me calm during my panicking and has always made sure that I know where everywhere is and she's just a really sweet person overall!
Graduation finishes super late tomorrow so probably wont be back on for a few days while I take in what the fuck has just happened XD Probably put up a pic of myself in my gown ^w^

Now I'm off to go iron and polish my shoes again

So, a few ago I was an active member in a group called CoalescentEpiphany and I absolutely loved it, it also resulted in a character I still use to this day but I digrese. Unfortunately the club had shut down but now the group is starting back up again and is called: Coalescent Epiphany Remix!

CoalescentEpiphanyRE

The story for the group isn't TL;DR so I recommend giving it a read: Story
But for those who are two lazy here's my sumup: The land where the story takes place is called Zircana, a rebellion caused an endless war and now Zircana has split into several smaller countries. Pokeballs were getting damaged in the war trapping the pokemon and leavig their trainer defenseless so now they use poke-fuser's which carries to pokemon and allows their trainers to fuse with them creating a new entity called an ANON.

Above was an absolute bare bones and I left out a few key facts but if this interests you do check out the group please! Also, even if it doesnt sound like your cup of tea, still give it a check, like I said bare bones and key facts left out

Also here's a link to the raffle journal, kind of why I'm making this huge entry, if nothing else I'm honest XD: New Member Raffle!
And another list for reserving your poke's are here: Pokemon List (Reservations open)

It's opening on October 1st, so that's a month from now but please if you do want to join the group you will need to your apps checked and approved before then so please do it ahead of time. Also, if you have a certain pokemon you have your heart set on then you can reserve them but only for two weeks so best to reserve it before your app and then get working at it while the admins do their thing~

Team Magma: Wants to get rid of water

Team Galactic: Wants to basically restart the universe
Team Plasma: PETA for Pokemon
Team Plasma (B2W2): Wants to freeze the planet
Team Flare: Wants to blow up the world

Yes I know, I have had so many thing booked in such a short space of time during this Summer (parents have chewed me out over it plenty of times but thats another story) but this is the last Holiday like thing that I have planned and thats my first anime convention which is Amecon~!
My friend booked this and we have a massive group of us going, two of which I know and the others I'll be meeting for the first time, and we'll be staying in Warwick University for the few nights and going back home on the Sunday and I'm really looking forward to it~ I'll just finished packing my stuff and think I'm almost officially ready, just need to pack my chargers in the morning~ EEEEEEH~ <33 I cant wait!!
