We'd like you to consider that Kópavogur doesn't have a functioning airport really.

MASS Lab designs Intertwine Bridge to connect Reykjavík and Kópavogur in Iceland
Tumblr media
MASS Lab creates the design for an Intertwine Bridge to connect Iceland’s Reykjavik and Kópavogur communities.
The bridge is being built as a new gateway between communities and is part of a larger plan to improve their recreational, ecological, and tourist activities. The iconic bridge will accommodate environmentally friendly modes of transportation such as buses, cyclists, and pedestrians.
While the bridge over Fossvogur in Reykjavik, Iceland, is a unique and iconic structure, its character and essence are rooted in making the shoreline accessible to the community.

Rating: 18+
Name: Loksen Tyr
Race: Viera | Veena
Patron Deity: Oschon
Hometown: Skatay Range | Kópavogur
Age: 75+
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 198 lb
Hair: Black with unusual natural blue streaks
Eyes: Aether blue
Gender: Male (he/him)
Orientation: Heterosexual
Marital Status: Single
Occupation: Formerly Wood-warder, slave
Currently Adventurer
Job: SAM/ARC/GNB
Favorite Color: Blue
Smoking: Yes, occasionally. Prefers using a kiseru. Blends own tobacco, typically with vanilla. The smell of smoked tobacco can help dull his already potent Vieran sense of smell if he feels overwhelmed
Drinking: Yes. Loves Vieran aquavit and Mjød, but hasn't encountered either in years. Due to spending time in Hingashi enjoys sake and often carries a flask, which he has been known to use as a weapon
Diet: Omnivore
Hobbies: Whittling, archery, drinking and eating, traveling, fishing, mahjong, reading Vieran poetry, camping
Personality: Reserved, almost aloof. Intense. Helpful. Honorable. His noble heart and wanderlust belies a quiet guilt.
Distinguishing Features: Vieran male. Lotta blue. Speaks Eorzean with a noticeable but pleasant accent akin to Finnish. Faded scars across his back and torso. Brand on the back of neck to identify him as a Garlean prisoner, usually covered by hair.
Löksen was a typical Wood-warder many years ago, until the day the Garlean empire attacked Dalmasca. During a periodic visit to his home village, hearing disturbing rumors that Garlemald had set eyes on Dalmasca. Having proven to be a great archer, the leaders urged him and a small group of other Wood-warders to make a trip to Dalmasca to convince the Viera living in the city to come home.
Ultimately, they failed. Having scarcely arrived in the foreign city, it was overrun by Garlean forces and the other men were killed in the ensuing battles and Löksen taken prisoner for several years. During his imprisonment at a Garlean labor camp, Löksen was a target of fascination and sometimes ridicule as a rare male of an already elusive people. His Wood-warder background prepared him for the harsh conditions of the camp and helped him survive. His time in the camp also introduced him to a variety of people and cultures that he never would have encountered otherwise. Imprisoned Sharlayan scholars taught him the Eorzean language, an old Hingan woman taught him the way of the samurai, a pair of Lalafell smugglers regaled him with stories of Ul'dah, among others.
Eventually, the camp was inadvertently liberated by Bahamut's rampage and during the chaos, Löksen fought and killed the Garlean officer who had served as a tormentor and overseer and took their gunblade as a trophy that he carries with him.
Now he wanders Etheirys partly as an adventurer inspired by the stories of his fellow inmates about the diverse lands they came from, but also to try to escape a sense of guilt for failing his people in Dalmasca and trying to seek solace.
RP Hooks
Hey there, mun here. I'm pretty flexible on how to start interactions. I'm completely open to discussing things or just go with the flow, provided you start of course.
I designed Loksen to essentially be a support character. He's not a WoL, he's not blessed with Echo. Honestly, my goal with him is to bring texture and enhance YOUR story. I suppose I'm more focused on being a character than a protag, I guess.
He's got his own little stories, but I'm here to make friends and try my hand at a creative outlet that I haven't done in several years.
Anyways, here's some possibilities!
Yojimbo: A wandering warrior of no small skill. Something need doing? Body? Guarded. Bounties? Hunted. Monsters? Slain. Need a courier because you can't deliver through regular services? He's got legs.
Animal-lover: He will pet the animals.
Tarzan Boy: You can take the Wood-warder out of the woods, but you can't take the warder out... of... the... Well, Loksen prefers to be out in nature when he gets the chance and he can be a bit wild. Maybe you encounter him out in the Shroud climbing amongst the trees and foraging for food.
"Where'd You Get That?!": As a samurai, Loksen carries an extremely unusual blade: the gunblade of a Primus Ordinarius of exquisite craftsmanship. Sure to draw the attention of any Garleans affiliated character. It has been modified to be suited for fighting in the manner of the legendary Hingashi warrior tradition.

I totally shipped SPN from the start too. Actually before it aired I knew about it because I was obssesed with Alias and a friend in the U.S who was just as obssesed (obvsly way before streaming) was all I'll let u watch the ep with me live thru my webcam on MSN!
But then there was no sound and in ad breaks she had to tell me if anything big happened. lol. But then it was over and she forgot to turn it off and someone in her family changed it to The WB and there was an ad for SPN and I was all "hey, is it that guy from Gilmore Girls and Alec from Dark Angel?" lmao.
I looooved Alec in Dark Angel which is why I decided to check out that Supernatural show. lol. But in my head sometimes Padalecki is still Dean. XD And ugh, I couldn't stand him on Gilmore Girls. XD
Ackles/Dean all the way XD
JDM as their dad. Ooof, what a piece of work. lol. Tho I wish we had gotten more of him, tbh. But her blew up just after that with Grey's and all that.
Omg I've heard of alias but never watched it! I have a bunch of it on DVD though bc I found it at ABC in Kópavogur. I collect dvds so thrift shops are my go to, though I'm a lil mad góði hirðirinn raised their prices AGAIN. Smh.
My first introduction to those actors was supernatural. I used to watch s1 on skjáreinn on like reruns when I was 7. (I'm a '98 mdl) but I did try to watch Gilmore Girls at one point and I hated it lol it was so boring to me. I dislike padalecki a lot, I think he's a total manbaby but I LOVE Sam the character lol
Also yeah John's a piece of work but I love him anyway. I used to hate him as a teen though 😂 but yeah wish we had gotten more of him if he hadn't been busy with greys and then watchmen.
Yeah Jensen is FINE. Like. He's so hot and charming lol I love him. Loved seeing him on The Boys. Am looking forward to seeing JDM on the boys s4 too. It's gonna be great.
Also MSN. Talk about a blast from the past 😂😂😂 I used to use that all the time.

These are among the largest dinosaurs in Reykjavík, and the whole Metropolitan area! Of course there are some larger but most of them hang out at the zoo here in Reykjavík.

"I had to cancel my reservation to the Blue Lagoon." Me: You should have gone to Sky Lagoon in Kópavogur instead, the Blue Lagoon is overrated and overpriced and overcrowded. "So I got a last minute helicopter ride over the volcanic eruption." Me: THAT'S EVEN BETTER!

We have six times the following of Kópavogur in the cardboard billboard.
Well also a thousand times also.
Well a million times really.
Even infinitely.
We have one and they have none.

My Spotify wrapped pinned me as being closest to Kópavogur Iceland. Interesting how a few Icelandic artists can skew it like that.

Photos from the Sky Lagoon in Kópavogur, Iceland, accompanied by a small entry from my travel journal.
27 June 2023
I feel like I can start again. I feel like I get a fresh start at life. Everything’s new. Every hellish time I’ve ever had, God has righted with this trip. Everything is bliss. I sat by the water and wrote poetry in my head and realized nothing’s bad.
