Happy Pride!!
in honour of pride month starting today here are some of my fox LGBTQ+ headcanons hehe btw these are *my* headcanons so pls don't be offended
Neil is demisexual!! This one is canon but I needed to put it out there lol, and along with this he uses he/they pronouns and is, in my opinion, cis (tho he just doesn't understand gender and doesn't really care)
Andrew is trans!!!!!!
Probably discovered he was trans at like 11/12 and Cass fully accepted him (however Drake took advantage of this and that's why he struggles really bad at times with his identity)
He has always gone by Andrew
RENEE AND ALLISON ARE T4T LESBIANS!! THEY ARE SO GAYYY AND PRETTY RAHHHHHHHHHH
Dan and Matt are both bisexual <3 Matt came out to her like two months into their relationship really scared but she just looked at him and went 'lmao me too'
And kissed him because
Kevin struggled with his sexuality for a very very long time, he didn't even understand what love was of any form after being manipulated by Riko all his life
He eventually realises his greyromantic but in the case he does feel romantic attraction he doesn't really consider the gender of the person
Aaron has known he was bi since like middle school my guy is just very chill about it, drops it into convo randomly one day and everyone just stared at him in utter shock before he wordlessly lifts up his backpack (to reveal a bi pin)
Neil giggles (he noticed it weeks ago but never told anyone)
Katelyn is trans!! She has gone by a few names and sets of pronouns and Aaron has never and will never have a problem with it
Jeremy is bisexual and so is Jean <3
And ofc, Nicky is gay. He knew since he was a kid just subconsciously but only started labelling himself as gay when he first heard the word (say 8 or 9?)
Literally none of the foxes are straight it's hilarious, happy pride! Feel free to reblog with your own headcanons hehe

Hey everyone merry Christmas, I know this time of year can be difficult for many lgbt people. Constant deadnaming and misgendering of trans people and gay people being asked “why don’t you have a girlfriend/boyfriend??” Is so annoying and hurtful to deal with, So I just wanted to send u all some positivity. You are all so valid!!

I asked my youngest sibling, @galacticnbinspace , to name people in the Dream SMP as well as in Hermitcraft (not including Pearl and Gem)
Here are the results...

Callahan - Pancake Cookie [.... Voi isn't wrong, he does look a little like Pancake Cookie from Cookie Run Ovenbreak]

Wilbur - Plain Ass [Xey looked me dead in the eyes as xey said this btw. No emotion. Just deadpan seriousness. Nothing but Plain Ass Motherfucker.]

Cub - Appropriating for Science [fae was all squinty at Cub wearing a Pharoh outfit but gave me that response so I guess that's a win???]
Doc - Another one of you fucks!? [the context for this is that out of three groups of YouTubers that do Minecraft videos, I always seem to get attached to the ones with Creeper skins first so this was voi calling me out on my Creeper obsession lol]

HELLO 👋 I WAS SENT HERE BY PALMETT-HOES. What are your thoughts on the foxes + tattoos?? Originally it was Neil + tattoos but if you have thoughts of the other foxes too I'd love to hear them if you want to share 🥺
Okay, so I actually might try to become a tattoo artist and love tattoo culture. I also have already about 30 tattoos, some the size of my whole hand and some the size of a quarter, a lot of mixed and matched stuff. I also always try to think of the foxes in their timeline, so 2006-2007 era, and when I think said foxes would get tattoos in their life and why. 
NEIL
First off: I personally HC Neil has keloid scarring and a lot of scarring so tattooing is hard on his skin. I have a friend who has more scars than I've ever seen on anyone else IRL before and we both love tattoos but even with him trying to prep the artist, unless they were a scar micropigmentation expert, they usually underestimated how hard it was going to be to tattoo on his skin. It's uneven and dense and doesn’t hold ink well. His non-scarred skin faired a lot better but his skin was something artists just weren't prepared for. I might get some micropigmentation on some skin grafts I got to even out the coloring and make it look more “natural” but I’m waiting to see if the pigment will settle and heal more first. 
I personally don't see Neil ever getting a tattoo, and this bums a lot of people out lmao. I think his scars are too thick and too raised and it's too cosmetic and aesthetic centric for it to be something on his radar. On his skin that isn't touched by scars I think he would want to leave as be mostly out of neutrality. I don't see Neil as the type of sentimental tattooer, I see him thinking “well if it matters to me I remember it” sort of and him wanting to keep the really deep stuff personal just for himself and even another person putting it on him is someone else there. I think if he were ever to get a tattoo, he would be like… idk it would be the kind that says “yes I got shot, stop asking” over a bullet hole scar or like that one guy whos missing his leg and above it there's a tattoo that says “one foot in the grave” that's the only type of tattoo I can see Neil doing and even still I'm not convinced he would do it. 
ANDREW
I don't ever see Andrew covering up his scars with tattoos either. I think he likes how the armbands can come on and off and be fully covered to not at all. He's not ashamed of them but he's private, and I think the tattoos could seem like he's trying to hide them when he's not-it's just nobody's business. I think if he were to get anything it would be American-traditional, it ages well, its classic, and doesn't really go out of style. Before the…. Let's say 80s, there weren't the different tattoo “styles” like there are today. It was just… tattoos in America. There was Japanese-style tattooing and then American-style tattooing, and since tattooing started curating its underground culture in the ’50s in America… those circles did not blend. They do now, but they sure as hell didn't then. So I could see Andrew with American-traditional because it's classic and I could see it appealing to him, but I could also see Russian prison tattoo style black-work something that appeals to him too. Get him some gulag tats. However if he had those, and since I currently HC him as white and with a buzzed or grown-out messy buzzed head, he would deadass look like a fuckin skinhead so... yeah lmao. Overall I don't see Andrew getting tattoos really, but if he would, American-traditional seems fitting. 
KEVIN
Okay, so Kevin out here looking like a MF SoundCloud rapper with his single face tat and nothing else going on. I know it might be OOC but since his mom is Irish and I HC his dad as Maori (even tho in the canon Wymack likely has 90s new age tribalism, which is a complicated issue but instead I choose culturally significant tattoos over the tattoo trend that was largely popularized by a movie lmao anyways-).
So I think Kevin is the only one who dives into tattoo culture and bonds over it with his dad. If he just has the chess piece, it still feels like a branding, like a mark so distinct against the rest of him, but one full sleeve of Celtic knots and symbols and the other arm full of Maori's distinct tattoos of swirls and symbols could be a cool way for him to reclaim his own skin and have it not be something he did just to cover something up, but make tattooing something connecting him to his cultures and family. 
NICKY
Nicky is the guy who got like, fierce, or pride, or something like that tattooed if he got a tattoo. I see Nicky getting a pride tattoo of some kind maybe and it being calligraphy or like if Nicky/Erik is a bear then he gets a bear paw. I could also see him getting his and Erik’s wedding date tattooed somewhere. I also don't see him as the type who didn't know how much research and shit goes into finding the artist for you, and kinda assumes you can go to just anyone and just walk in and then was like “wait what” when he couldn’t (or couldn't if he wanted to get exactly what he had in mind) so he probably got/gets tattooed by some non-homophobic apprentice, maybe even that apprentices first tattoo, and also since Nicky is Mexican and darker-skinned I doubt he thinks to put on sunscreen and the sun makes his ink lines bleed and so it doesn't age the best (it be like that). 
ALLISON
Got a trendy tramp stamp to like, really stick it to her parents. Right on her lower back I bet it's the classic 2000s swirls and a butterfly and some of those stars, idk what they're called. If she was a young 20-year-old now tho she totally would have gotten a fine line tattoo, like not a tight three, a real 1 needle tattoo. They were seen as really nice back then and “so Cali” and like I could see /maybe/ her getting it done before she's 30 but they were not that common yet and like micro-realism is so new we still kinda don't know how it's going to age at all since tattoos before it have been designed they way they have for aging. Again if she got a micro-realism/single needle tattoo tho it would be something kinda basic like a butterfly or like a lion. I swear I've seen the same google image lion tattooed on a lotta people and like IDC it's your skin. But yeah, she gets the classic 2000s swirl butterfly and stars tattoo above her crack one night, maybe after a really bad phone call with her parents and she got drunk and pissed off. Maybe someone said she couldn't take the pain. (which btw, tattoos don’t hurt as much as they make them out to be in shows and shit, they can hurt tho)
DAN
I HC Dan as very dark-skinned, she's 75% black and 25% Sioux and grew up in a very very white area when outside her home on the res. Tattoo culture is still really sexist and really colorist, and at this point in history I think if she ever did want a tattoo, she maybe asked vaguely about it and they flat out said “I don't know how to tattoo on black skin” or “it doesn't go with my art” which… are shithole excuses and I think she thought, “well fuck u too” and never thought about it much since then. 
RENEE
I HC as Renee as darker-skinned than Dan, and like the only places she could possibly get tattooed are maybe her palms, the bottoms of her feet, or her inner mouth probably. Some people genuinely are so dark that tattooing is hard, because it's based on the concept of black ink on a lighter surface, which is why scarification catches on in cultures where the skin is too dark to pigment with ink effectively. However, the idea of fuckin, 15-year-old Renee who is still Natalie with “PU$$Y” tattooed in her mouth kinda sends me. I think lil kid Renee thought she was gangster, and tbh she was, and I could see her getting some “fuck you/in your face” tattoo, especially if she was a lesbian in such a homophobic world, getting that tattooed is even better. We also know she got her back tatted in the EC with angel wings that look almost closer to dragon wings, so I imagine they show up as almost raised dark lines like scars from the untrained tattoo artist going way too deep, making it a cross between a tattoo and scarification, even if accidental. (also white ink really wasn't a thing yet and even now is still kinda hard to tell how it will heal, so that's why I don't think she gets any white ink tats)
MATT
He's a rich boy from NYC, he could really get like… whatever he wants. Once he's famous he can afford it that's for sure, but even before then he could with his allowance similar to Allison (even if on a completely different level). However, I doubt he gets anything lol. He's not particularly religious in my HC and doesn't have the same sense of being lost like I feel Kevin does with his own parents (I mean Kevin was raised like an orphan, kinda so it makes sense). I need to develop Matt’s background further on what it means to him personally to be a Filipino-American. I have several ideas about how his parents met in the Philippines and then came here but I would need to flesh out locations and then local cultures and then his parents said opinions on tattoos and then how matt would react to said opinions. I could see him possibly getting something for dan or his kids tattooed on. Which really makes me want to have him get his first kid's name tattooed really big or intricate somewhere like on his chest over his heart and then his kid comes out as trans and he's like “...fuck” lmao and gets it removed maybe and then redone or something. I see him viewing tattoos are personal and symbolic, and if he would get something it would probably be family-oriented, possibly Dan's portrait or like his baby's footprint which I've seen before. 
AARON & SETH
Stick and pokes were not nearly as common then as they are now, and I feel like people kinda have to remember how taboo tattooing was then and still is now in a lot of cultures. My family is Not happy lmaoo. But it is what it is. Stick and Pokes were not a thing bored white middle-class teens did like I see them doing now. It was seen as super sketchy and I know someone who was 16 getting tattooed in a garage by someone who was both drunk and just out of prison for the first time, and that was seen as sketchy as stick and pokes at the time. I could imagine either Seth or Aaron having a failed and fucked up stick and poke tattoo, and out of the two of them, Seth seems like the drunk tat guy. Maybe once he got drunk and mad as fuck after Allison and him broke up and she said he didn't seem serious enough so he got her name drunkenly tattooed on his arm or something and then she was even more pissed because it was spelled wrong “YOU FORGOT THE SECOND L OMFG SETH.” (I can also imagine his future girlfriends don't love it lmao). I also love the idea of Seth just having Marvin the Martian or the Tasmanian Devil tattooed on his ass.
Anyways sorry for the lack of pictures but I didn't want to do that... so I didn't. I didn't go into niche tattoo culture and history like I was expecting myself to but this also got fuckin long. Might not be what you were hoping for at all but it is my current opinion on the foxes and tattoos. (This is also surprisingly free of my own personal aesthetic opinions on tattoos and that I'm kinda proud of ngl, since my preference is none of these, but also I grew up in a very different tattoo time than them)

thinking about what an incredible self-own this letter the commissaire of the bagne of Rochefort wrote to the mayor in 1825 is: >J’ai l’honneur de vous prier de vouloir bien faire surveiller particulièrement la Maison de la dame Barré, tenant cabaret, près la porte du Soleil; elle a la Réputation de donner à boire aux condamnés, et hier le Garde-chiourme Brat, est sorti de cette auberge, suivi d’une barre de fer qu’il avait sans doute soustrait à l’arsenal. Il me paraît bien nécessaire, Monsieur le Maire, que les auberges situés près du port soient l’objet d’une inspection spéciale. [Trans: I have the honor of requesting that you put the house of Madame Barré, who runs a tavern near the port entrance, under extra surveillance; she has the reputation of giving drinks to convicts, and yesterday a guard named Brat came out of the tavern with an iron bar that he doubtless stole from the Arsenal. It seems quite necessary to me, Monsieur le Maire, that the taverns near the port be the object of special inspection.] I think you can see where this is going. The mayor’s response: >La surveillance que la police exerce tant sur la maison de la dame Barré, que sur les cabarets situés près du port, ne peut produire de résultats satisfaisans mais celle que doit exercer maritimes [sic], auroit sans aucun doute des effets plus avantageux car s'il est vrai que l'on ait vu sortir de chez ladite Barré un garde-chiourme muni d'une barre de fer, qu'on le soupçonne d'avoir soustrait à l'arsenal c'est dans le port (qui n'est pas dans la jurisdiction de la police) que la surveillance la plus exacte doit être établie. [Trans: Police surveillance of Madame Barré’s house or of taverns close to the port would not produce satisfying results, but the surveillance which ought to be conducted by maritime (missing word) would definitely have more advantageous effects, for if it is true that a guard was seen to come out of the aforementioned Madame Barré’s tavern with an iron bar, which he is suspected of having taken from the Arsenal, it is in the port (which is not under the police’s jurisdiction) that the strictest surveillance must be established.]
Tumblr media
(this wasn’t the first time, btw, that the commissaire sent a really obnoxious letter to the mayor and the mayor was like “dude COME ON.” In 1820 the commissaire wrote him all “um excuse me but it has come to my attention that a convict was at a seamstress’ house to get measured for a suit of civilian clothes, I can’t believe such things go on in your city omg you know it’s super not allowed for convicts to go inside people’s houses!! the audacity, please punish that seamstress lady!!!” and the mayor is like “My dude. My pal. This guy is leaving prison really soon, he was PARDONED [the word is actually underlined in the manuscript], what the fuck is he supposed to wear???? smh I s2g”)

i think with the gender stuff you spoke about earlier, it's just a comfort for trans/non-binary people.. like personally i like saying that dan is very gender because i get gender envy from him personally? i just think it's unfair to attack trans/non-binary people for seeking comfort when there's bigger fish to fry u know? this is @ anon mostly not you btw dont think im attacking its just upsetting to see as im just minding my own business wishing i looked like dan lol
And that’s not at all what I’m trying to do!! I get that we all want to see ourselves represented in the media we consume, but like. That’s a real guy. So when I see people going “oh did he say he doesn’t care what pronouns you use 👀 is he 👀 y’know 👀 gender 👀” I’m like man there’s gotta be some fictional person you can pile this on, right? And that’s different entirely to people who just like the way he looks and wish they looked like that themselves. Those are entirely separate things and only one of them feels invasive

I’m trying to draw Phil for the first time, and I’m running into problems that I’m hoping you can help with. I always draw females stomach and up, so most of the guys I draw look like females. I do draw Dan, because his face features aren’t as rough and he has a youthful face. With Phil though, I want him to look like him now. I want him to look like a 31 year old man and not a 17 year old boy lol, but my dumb tendencies are preventing me to doing so. Advice??
this is a problem some artists have and i had it as well some years ago before beginning my career! i was used to draw very typical anime girls, so when i had to draw Real People, i mean, when i had to draw real live models in my drawing classes, i had to relearn a lot of stuff! when you challenge yourself to draw people of all genders, ages and ethnicities that’s when you notice people are all really different from each other and there is really no canon. we tend to limit ourselves to draw females or males in certain ways but leaving aside biological differences (and even these are really diverse as well) (and this reminds me we desperately need better representation of trans and intersex people in our artistic anatomy books, we desperately need it, because these books insist on teaching only one canon, usually just cis and white, and ehm no please) we all have different physiognomy, so the best way to learn how to draw someone is doing a careful observation!
and as you have noticed, yup, dan has a different complexion than phil so the best we can do is to study them and study people with a similar appearance to each one! i suggest you to invest some time trying to find pics of them and of people really really similar to them to help you to understand better their anatomy. a great place to start looking for references is the model community on deviant art btw (x). or you can google some lookalikes people have found of them lol 
ok, now let’s begin with your question! now you are facing the age challenge, right, the first thing you can do is looking for v v old and v v recent pics of him to notice easly the little changes. here is a compilation i’ve made!
Tumblr media
the old pics are a bit blurry but i notice 3 relevant things:
now he has more pronounced bags under the eyes
his jaw is a b i t, just a bit wider and more square. also the edges were a bit softer when he was younger.
laugh lines, and eyes and forehead wrinkles are a bit more pronounced as well
ok so let’s focus on these 3 details! 
to draw the two phils bellow i used the same base sketch because his skull haven’t changed that much, and then i tried to accentuate the main differences between them. accentuate is the key word here, because we are artists, and this means we can portray our observations in different ways, not just reproduce them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
my style is kinda realistic, so haven’t accentuated them that much, but my suggestions are:
to draw a 31-years-old!phil
make those wrinkles more visible, especially his laugh lines, because this sweet man laughts a lot more these days
accentuate more those bags under his eyes, he is a night owl!
his forehead wrinkles are important depending on his expression, but drawing even just a few delicate lines will definitely add some age to his face!
and here are other suggestions! we tend to relate big eyes to younger people, so making his eyes a little smaller will also make him look older
bonus points if you add a few grey hairs here and there :9
i suggest you to follow these steps to study the rest of his anatomy, but a few things we all have noticed is that his shoulders and torso are broader now and his limbs in general look thicker / chubbier :))
anyway, i really hope you find this useful, feel free to tell me if there is something else i can help you

My First Conference
Banyak cerita yg mengiringi judul paper ini terbit dgn terindeks scopus. ceritanya berawal sejak satu setengah tahun yg lalu. berawal dari sebuah keterpaksaan, lalu dalam prosesnya  komunikasi dgn panitia ada saja kendala teknisnya, di hari H seolah anak kecil nyasar hingga usaha menjawab sejumlah pertanyaan audiens (yg kok tumben yg nanya banyak sih, speaker lain lho paling banyak cuma dapat 2 pertanyaan) dgn bahasa inggris yg “ah yg penting mereka paham aku ngomong apa” wkwkwk
//
ini aku namai publikasi pertama, yah aku harap akan segera ada yg selanjutnya fell free to discuss, open acces in https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1755-1315/313/1/012001
Tumblr media
//
30 April 2019, 15.00 wita sore itu sudah sepi sekali. diruang dosen cuman tersisa 3 orang. aku, dosen pembimbingku, dan satu dosen lagi yg entah sedang mengerjakan apa di mejanya. jam 5 sore itu aku hampir selesai asistensi. ya, aku salah satu pejuang skripsi, atau yg dikampusku disebut TA (Tugas Akhir).
aku pikir sebentar lagi asistensi ini akan segera berakhir, sampailah pada obrolan seperti ini:
G : dwi, saya mau kamu ikut ini (memperlihatkan poster suatu kegiatan di layar hp nya D : apa ini pak? G : konferensi internasional. masukin TA-mu tapi sampai sasaran kedua saja. D : (sambil melihat hp beliau) oh saya yg reguler yg deadlinenya juni ini ya pak? G : tidak. yg early bird saja D : lho tapi deadlinenya hari ini pak yg early bird. kan sasaran kedua saya permodelannya belum selesai. G : masih ada waktu beberapa jam kan sampai malam? D : (diam. melihat jam dinding). G : submit abstraknya, kalau lolos nanti saya biayai pendaftarannya.
hmmm. ini titah yg tidak dapat dibantah. sebelum masa pembuatan proposal TA aku juga pernah diberi titah mengajukan rencana TA-ku menjadi prposal PKM. padahal saat itu penentuan judul TA saja belum. ancamannya jika aku tidak melakukannya adalah aku tidak akan dibimbing dalam pengerjaan TA. hmmm... ini kebiasaan dosen pembimbingku, yg belakangan kusadari sgt membantu dalam meningkatkan kompetensiku. sedikit cerita tentang beliau bisa dibaca di http://sedikitcatatansingkat.blogspot.com/2018/11/selamat-hari-guru.html
akhirnya aku keluar ruangan dengan menghela napas berat. oke ini jam 5 sore, artinya masih ada beberapa jam untuk berjuang. untungnya yg perlu dikirim hanya abstrak saja. tapi abstrak berbahasa inggris, duuuh... ini yang jadi titik kesulitan, mana permodelannya hasilnya belum 'fit' :(
//
oh iya, konferensi yang aku maksud ini adalah The 3rd Geoplanning: International Conference on Geomatics and Planning, salah satu konferensi internasional tahunan yang diselenggarakan di Indonesia. Sayangnya, pada 2019 vakum dulu, tidak diselenggarakan. Geoplanning mengusung beberapa tema, diantaranya: Theme 1: Urban Modeling and Informatics Theme 2: Smart City, Smart Infrastructure, and Smart Governance Theme 3: Digital Mapping in Urban Regional Planning Theme 4: Open data in Remote Sensing and GIS Theme 5: Mapping in Environmental Problem and Social Phenomena
aku sendiri memilih tema pertama. Sempat galau sih tema pertama apa ketiga ya. tapi akhrinya kata dosbingku, lebih baik dimasukkan tema pertama.
diprogram studiku, TA biasanya dibagi kedalam beberapa sasaran untuk memudahkan alur pekerjaan. normalnya ada 3 sasaran dalam tugas akhir. dalam TA-ku sendiri sasarannya adalah: 1. Menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi harga lahan di Kelurahan Karang Joang. 2. Menganalisis model harga lahan di Kelurahan Karang Joang berdasarkan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi harga lahan. 3. Merumuskan arahan zonasi perdagangan dan jasa berdasarkan model harga lahan di Kelurahan Karang Joang.
Dari tiga sasaran tersebut, yang akan aku jadikan paper hanya sampai sasaran kedua saja, dengan alasan jika dibahas keseluruhan, maka tidak akan cukup untuk paper yang hanya dibatasi hingga 10 halaman. Selain itu, pada Konfrensi yang akan aku ikuti ini akan lebih banyak mengulas mengenai permodelan spasial dibanding aspek tata ruang secara detail seperti peraturan zonasi.
//
kembali ke cerita perjuangan H-jam ini wkkw. jam 9 malam aku selesai running permodelan sasaran kedua. jam 11 malam aku selesai menyusun abstrak. jam 12 malam aku selesai mentranslate abstrak ke bhs inggris. kemudian abstrak itu aku kirimkan ke temanku untuk dikoreksi bhs inggrisnya. jam 12.59 wita aku kirimkan abstrak itu.
yaaa.. untung saja aku berada pada zona waktu WITA. jadi bisa jam 1 malam gitu ngirimnya wkwkkw. karena jika aku kirim jam 1 dini hari dari zona WITA, panitia penerima yang berada di zona waktu WIB akan membacanya waktu pengirimannya adalah jam 12 malam. ehehhe
//
pasca mengirim abstrak aku agak penasaran menunggu pengumuman, diterima tidak ya? Alhamdulillah ternyata diterima. tapi kemudian aku bingung setelah ini tahapannya apa ya. aku adalah org yg amat sangat awam mengenai dunia konferensi, prosiding, jurnal atau apalah itu namanya. setelah pengumuman bahwa abstrakku lolos dan dosenku melakukan pembayaranpun aku tidak tau lagi harus melakukan apa. tak ada email berisi hasil review yang masuk atau apapun itu.
ternyata, setelah aku pahami baik-baik, seharunya alurnya adalah pasca mengirimkan uang registrasi, maka aku akan diberikan user id dan password serta submission guideline untuk log in di website geoplanning untuk melakukan submit full paper. nyatanya, sudah lebih dari 1 bulan berlalu aku tak kunjuk menerima user id ku. upaya follow up hampir setiap hari aku lakukan. contact person (CP) secara rutin aku hubungi baik via telpon maupun chat whatsapp. tapi beliau slow respon, bahkan aku sampai menghubungi nomor kantornya. duuh aku udah kaya debt collector aja wkwkwk
akhirnya "teror" yang kulakukan membuahkan hasil. di H+2 deadline submit full paper aku mendapatkan user id yang bisa aku gunakan. ternyata kata CP tersebut, emailku seolah terblokir sehingga tidak bisa menerima email dari beliau jadi beliau mengirimkan info yang harus aku terima sejak lama ke emailku yang lain. bisa gitu ternyataa hmmm.. berhubung ini sudah H+2 deadline dan ternyata ada beberapa peserta lain yang memiliki kendala teknis yang sama, maka pihak panitia memutuskan untuk memperpanjang pengumpulan full paper 2 pekan. Alhamdulillah.
//
dari awal mempersiapkan konfrensi ini, pembimbingku sudah bilang bahwa aku saja yang presentasi. beliau tidak ingin terlibat, katanya agar aku bisa belajar. karenanya, setelah selesai dengan persiapan substansi, aku mulai melakukan persiapan lainnya. yang pertama adalah persiapan bahasa. sungguh aku sangat tidak mahir berbahasa asing, termasuk bahasa inggris. Nantinya ketika presentasi, akan ada dua sesi. sesi pemaparan dan sesi tanya jawab. di sesi pemaparan mungkin aku bisa sangat terbantu dengan slide presentasi, pun aku juga bisa mempersiapkan kalimat-kaliamat yang akan aku ucapkan apa saja. tapi tidak demikian dengan sesi tanya jawab, ini gak bisa ditebak huhu. jadilah yang bisa kupersipkan hanya melatih speaking. hampir sebulan aku mengikuti program di English Caffe, kalau di Balikpapan lokasinya di Sepinggan Pratama. cara belajarnya adalah sesederhana mengajak siswa mengobrol tentang apa saja dengan bahasa inggris selama 30 menit perhari. hanya 30 menit dalam sehari, tetapi itu berulang tiap hari (kecuali weekend sih). menurutku ini program speaking yang baik karena katanya kita bisa lancar berbicara bahasa inggris itu ketika kita terbiasa.
selain persiapan bahasa, aku juga mulai mengambil beberapa tawaran pekerjaan freelencer lain untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dana keberangkatan. tiket ke jawa mahal cuy wkwk
//
jelang hari keberangkatan, undangan dari panitia sempat lambat diberikan, bahkan aku harus meminta lebih dulu dan menunggu. iya jadi meskipun kita sudah tau hari pelaksanaan konferensinya kapan, biasaya seminggu sebelumnya panitia akan mengirimkan beberapa file diantaranya template ppt yang digunakan, surat undangan sebagai pemakalah, detail rundown acara dan pembagian panel diskusi serta petunjuk teknis lainnya yang dirasa perlu.
tentang dosbingku, beliau mengirimkan uang sebagai fee karena kebetulan ketika itu aku membantu salah satu proyek yang beliau kerjakan. ia mengirim pesan, "ini fee kerjaan di surabaya ya dwi, saya lebihkan sedikit buat bantu tiket pesawatmu". wiiih, meskipun aku gak pernah tau sebenarnya berapa nominal yg beliau "lebihkan", aku besyukur sekali karena beliau baik hati mau membayarkan biaya konferensi sekaligus membantu sedikit untuk biaya perjalanan. Alhamdulillah, Allah Maha Kaya.
Sampailah pada hari dimana aku pergi ke Semarang sendirian. Pembimbingku ada agenda lain yang tidak dapat ditinggalkan. begitu tau itu aku sungguh minder sebenarnya. ini kali pertamaku ikut konferensi sebesar ini. apalagi langsung jadi pembicara pula. headeeh.
Semarang. ini kali pertama aku ke kota ini. sampai di bandara aku melanjukan perjalanan dengan Trans Semarang menuju hotel yang sudah aku pesan sebelumnya. Kalau dipikir-pikir, berani juga ya aku, ini kali pertama kesini, gak tau jalan, gak tau rute, gak kenal siapa-siapa, eh tau tau langsung naik transportasi umum. wkkw
//
29 Agustus 2019
Pasca mengisi registrasi kehadiran, tiba-tiba ada bapak-bapak tidak dikenal yang menyapa.
"mbak dwi ya?" "iya pak" (dalam hati: ini siapa ya bapak2 kok tau aku) "saya An**** mbak" "oh Pak An**** yg panitia ya?" "iya mbak, mohon maaf ya mbak selama persiapan kemarin jadi repot gara2 saya" "iya pak tidak apa2"
dalam hati aku ngebatin gini: oh ini bapaknya yang sering aku teror sampe aku berasa penagih utang wkwk. Alhamdulillah beliau sadar telah menyusahkanku dan minta maaf wkwk. btw itu kok bapaknya tau ya aku ini dwi? padahal di whatsapp fotoku selalu foto dri jauh yang wajahnya gak begitu nampak. pertanyaan ini masih belum terjawab guys sampe sekarang. tapi gak terjawab juga gak apa-apa sih, ini kepo gak penting doang. wkkw
Selain disapa beliau, aku juga bertemu dengan Pak Eko, salah satu dosen senior di PWK ITS. Beliau bersama dengan Mbak Dea, Seniorku ketika sempat berkuliah di ITS dulu. Alhamdulillah aku gak jadi anak hilang wkwk.
//
Sesi pertama adalah pemaparan oleh keynote speaker, ada 4 orang kala itu, diantaranya Prof. Dr. Walter Timo de Vries (TU Munich, Germany), Prof. Dr. Dewayany Sutrisno (Indonesian Society for Remote Sensing (MAPIN)), Prof. Dr. Stephen Cairns (Future Cities Laboratory, ETH Zurich) dan Muhammad Kamal, Ph.D (Geography and Remote Sensing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia).
luar biasa kan speakernya? iya, banget, apalagi yang dibahas banyak tentang keterkaitan spasial dan big data. MasyaAllah.
Setelah sesi tersebut, dilanjutkan sesi presentasi oleh masing-pasing pemakalah secara paralel. Sesi paralel ini dilaksanakan diruangan terpisah yang dikelompokkan berdasarkan tema paper. Qadarullah, paper dengan tema pertama yaitu Urban Modeling and Informatics dipresentasikan di stage utama. wihiii, makin minder dong aku presentasi di panggung gede gitu. semakin dekat dengan detik-detik saatnya aku maju, gak berhenti berucap Robbishrohli shod'ri, wayassirlii amrii, wakhlul 'uqdatammil lisani, yafqohu qouli.
sempat terbersit dipikiran aku mau juga gitu punya dokumentasi kan jarang-jarang punya kesempatan seperti ini. tapi sayangnya gak kenal siapa-siapa disekitar panggung, peserta lain juga terlihat jauh lebih tua, kan sungkan. akhirnya sebelum maju, aku siapin botol air mineral buat ngenganjel hp aku buat bikin video wkwkwk. jadilah ini foto hasil crop-an dari video itu wkwkwk
Tumblr media
Presentasi tiap pemakalah terdiri dari dua sesi, yaitu pemaparan dan tanya jawab. sesi pemaparan dibatasi 15 menit saja. kalau sudah selesai waktunya maka akan langsung di cut oleh panitia. sedangkan sesi tanya jawab juga dibatasi 15 menit atau maksimal 3 pertanyaan.
aku mendapat giliran ketiga. saat pemaparan aku merasa lancar-lancar saja meskipun gugup gak bisa dihindari, hanya bisa disembunyikan. memasuki sesi tanya-jawab, ternyata cukup banyak yang tertarik pada penelitian ini. setidaknya ada 5 pertanyaan yang ditanyakan oleh 3 penanya. banyak ya, aku sempat bingung kenapa moderator tidak membatasi pertanyaan, padahal diawal hanya boleh ada 3 pertanyaan, bahkan peserta lain setelahku ada yg tidak mendapatkan pertanyaan sama sekali. hmm
penanya yang paling bikin gugup itu adalah Prof. Dr. Walter dari Jerman. hmm.. gugup aja gitu ditanya sama professor sekelas beliau. beliau bertanya dua hal seingatku, tentang bagaimana aku menentukan sampel penelitian serta sebarannya serta apa saja pertimbangan aku menentukan model terbaik yang digunakan.
Sebenarnya semua pertanyaan bisa aku jawab dgn baik, hanya saja aku merasa sedikit ada kendala di bahasa. aku merasa ingin menjelaskan lebih detail tapi terbatas dgn kosa kata apa ya yang baiknya aku gunakan. jdi aku menjawab semaksimal yang aku bisa. ada 1 penanya yang setelah aku jawab pertanyaannya lalu menanyakan pertanyaan lanjutan seolah dari jawabanku pertama kali mereka paham dan ingin menanyakan lebih detail lagi, dari situ aku berbesar hati bahwa penjelasku bisa mereka pahami meskipun dgn kosa kata terbatas. misal nih ya, aku mau bilang "masyarakat", seharusnya aku bisa sebut citizen, tapi sendirian jadi pusat perhatian di main stage itu membuatku malah nyebut "people in the city" wkwkwk. koplak, gak apa wi, yang penting audiens paham. hehe
//
Alhamdulillah selesai juga ya, wkwk. Setelah selesai presentasi, aku mengunjungi beberapa panel diskusi tema lainnya. ngobrol dengan beberapa peserta yang dominannya adalah dosen, ya kalau bukan dosen ya mahasiswa pascasarjana. mereka akan merasa wah karena aku masih S1, sendirian, dari kalimantan. kalau di pikir2 ini aku yang sok berani apa dosen pembimbingku yang terlalu percaya sama aku ya? entahlah.
yang aku tau, bagiku ini adalah pengalaman pertama yang luar biasa. pun aku sangat bersyukur dipercaya dan dimampukan melalui proses ini. Alhamdulillah. Allah Baik sekaliii.
//
teruntuk beberapa teman yang bertanya tips and trick mengikuti konferensi semacam ini, aku merasa belum layak berbagi banyak, mohon maaf karena ini juga pengalaman pertama. tapi mungkin ada sedikit tips yang mungkin bisa bermanfaat: 1. cari dan kenali konferensi yang akan dituju. infonya biasanya banyak digrup-grup pwk, di sosmed maupun di mading program studi. kenali juga tipe konferensinya, apakah lingkup nasional atau internasional karena keduanya secara teknis, format penulisan dll akan berbeda. 2. sesuaikan dengan topik seminarnya, apabila Tugas akhir kalian tentang transportasi, jelas akan sulit jika dimasukkan pada konferensi ekonomi. oh ya, tidak masalah jika kalian tidak membahas secara utuh keseluruhan Tugas akhir kalian demi mencoba mencocokan abstrak yang kalian ajukan dengan tema konferensinya. 3. follow up terus panitianya jika ada info-info yang kalian rasa belum tersampaikan 4. selain persiapan materi, juga perlu persiapan mental karena ketika kalian jadi pemakalah, ini bukan sekedar presentasi biasa wkwk, banyak audiens dari kalangan profesional di bidang tersebut yang akan memperhatikan dan mungkin mengajukan pertanyaan. selain itu untuk konferensi internasional, sudah otomatis akan menggunakan bahasa inggris. jadi, bersiaplah tak perlu tepat grammernya, asal audiens paham apa yang sedang kalian sampaikan. 5. persiapan dana juga perlu cuy, karena sungguh tak semua dosen akan mau membiayai registrasi kalian. selain biaya registrasi, juga butuh biaya akomodasi kan? nominalnya juga lumayan gede untuk kantong mahasiswa hehehe 6. berdo'a. percayalah segalanya akan dilancarkan kalau kita menghadirkan Allah dalam setiap ikhtiar dan harap kita. goodluck!

Autumn in Korea Part I
Tumblr media
Alkisah, sekelompok anak gadis hendak berpetualang ke negeri ginseng nun jauh disana. EYAAAA. Au amat. Ok gess, gue mau sharing experience tentang trip ngebolang gue dan kawan-kawan ke korsel tanggal 12-18 November 2018. Gue mau cerita runtut based on itinerary yang gue punya. Sebelumnya, gue sudah post mengenai hal apa aja yang harus disiapkan kalau mau ke korsel secara mandiri atau tidak pakai agent. Bisa di klik disini.
LANJOOOTT GESS!!
Pertama gue mau promote kereta bandara yang gue naikin. Kalau ke airport sendirian mau hemat ongkos gue sarankan untuk naik railink ini. Gue udah post mengenai kereta bandara. Please check this link. 
11 November 2018
JAKARTA-KUALA LUMPUR
Perjalanan gue dimulai dari CGK-KUL. That was my first time coming to KLIA 2 Airport. Bandaranya guedeee parahhh, transitnya jauh banget. Kalau bawa tentengan banyak pasti sangat menyiksa guys. Apalagi kalau waktu transitnya mepet, pasti udah kayak main running man lari-larian. Btw, pas transfer di KLIA ini, kita gak perlu ke imigrasi lagi, jadi langsung ke area transfer. Ada kejadian yang bakal jadi life lesson banget pas transfer di gate gue. Jadi, pas transfer kita harus ngelewatin dua kali security check. Ketika ngelewatin security check ini seperti biasa botol diatas 100 ml akan disita dan dimusnahkan. Malangnya adalah semua botol minuman gue dan teman-teman gue disita. Gue pikir, okay no problem, masih bisa beli air minum di dalam gate. Ternyata eh ternyata, di dalam gate transfer gue gak ada minimarket. Ada beberapa vendor restaurant dannnnn mereka gak jual air mineral botolan. Adanya di cup yang tentunya gampang tumpah kalau gak dibawa hati-hati. Ada sih dispenser air minum gratis di dalam, tapi wadahnya cuma semacam kertas sterofoam ukuran sekecil tangan. Dan gue gak kepikiran untuk tukar ringgit di Jakarta buat bekal jajan disitu. Tapi, untungnya bisa pakai cc. Walhasil gue akhirnya beli air mineral yang di cup itu huhu. Tapi ada orang yang botolnya lolos karena dikosongin dulu sebelum lewatin x-ray. Beli air mineral diatas pesawat kan lebih mahal dan ukurannya cuma 330 ml. Untuk flight 6 jam bagi gue kurang, dan kita harus stay hydrated di atas pesawat. So, tips nya mungkin bisa bawa tumblr sendiri tapi dikosongin isinya dan isi air di dalam gate transfer.
KUALA LUMPUR-INCHEON
Sesampainya di Incheon Airport terminal 1, gue langsung menuju ke gate informasi untuk ambil wifi wireless dan voucher dsp yang kebetulan desk nya sebelahan. Kita beli t-money di minimarket di dalam airport dan sekalian top up disitu. Langsung aja abis itu gue dan kawan-kawan menuju AREX, kita naik yang All-Stop dan turun di stasiun Hongik. Exit nya ada banyak banget, harus cari info kalau mau keluar di exit berapa or lo bisa nyasar keseberang. Gue keluar di exit 3, di seberang Hongdae Market. Oia, di stasiun ada lift diperuntukkan untuk priorities passangers kayak lansia, ibu hamil, dan penyandang disabilitas. Tapi, kalau barang bawaan lo banyak banget dan gak memungkinkan naik eskalator, masih diperbolehkan untuk naik lift ini. Jangan coba-coba naik lift pas lo lagi bawa diri doang, kalau gak mau dimarahin sama halmoeni-halmoeni, lol. 
Day 1 (12 November 2018)
HONGDAE
Momen pertama kali nginjek daratan luar stasiun Hongik itu unforgettable banget, karena peralihan dari sore ke malem (read: magrib) dan suhunya dingin banget, super freshhhh. Langsung jatuh cinta deh pokoknya! Dari stasiun Hongik, kita nge-bus ke guest house, padahal cuma sekitar 700 meter dan cuma 2 stop tapi karena kita letih derek koper, walhasil kita milih nge-bus. Apesnya, bus yang mau kita naikin gak lower decker, jadi pe-er banget naikkin koper lewatin tangga kecil-kecil. Gue kind of kesusahan terus driver nya nyadar kalau kita dari Indonesia karena Bahasa kita, terus pas gue lagi struggle naikkin koper, ahjussi nya cuma ketawa ngomong pakai Bahasa Indonesia “susah ya?”. Koper gue lebih dari 10kg, menurut ngana? -..- Pas udah mau sampai halte tempat gue turun, ahjussi nya ngasih tau “sampai” dan dia ngucapin “selamat sore, terimakasih”. Huhu terharu, baru nyampe langsung dapet sambutan dari orang baik. Bus di Korea kasih informasi pemberhentian dalam Bahasa Korea dan Bahasa Inggris. Mostly, nama bus dalam Bahasa korea dan Bahasa Inggris berbeda guys. Jadi misalnya, turun di halte Ewha Womans University, maka informasi dalam Bahasa Koreanya yaitu 화여자대학교 (Read: Ewha Yeoja Dae Hakkyo). Untungnya Transjakarta gak translate nama-nama halte dari Bahasa Indonesia ke Bahasa Inggris. Because it’ll sound super weird like: “Pemberhetian berikutnya, Tanah Abang (Eng Trans: Next stop, Brotherland)”. Iyuhhh aneh. Oke cukups, lanjoooottt bawah.
Malemnya kita langsung menjalankan itinerary kita yaitu ke Hongdae Shopping Street dan Seoul Lantern Festival. Dari guesthouse tinggal jalan aja ke Hongdae, karena kita gak bawa baju full untuk seminggu dan memang kita niat mau beli baju tebel di korea karena menurut info yang beredar, harganya bisa lebih murah dari di Jakarta, so kita sight-seeing and shopping disana. Hongdae ini adalah salah satu open market di Seoul yang banyak digandrungi anak muda karena letaknya di dekat kampus Hongik University. Style nya oke-oke juga kok, dan harganya lumayan affordable. Disini banyak store baju, skincare, streetfood dan restaurant. Karena mengejar waktu, so kita gak lama-lama di Hongdae. Gue dan temen gue dapet beberapa item dari tempat ini. Selain itu, disini banyak street art, ada yang ngedance, nyanyi, dan lain sebagainya. Yang nonton banyak banget, orang Korea appreciate banget kayaknya sama hal kayak gini. Yang paling banyak penontonnya biasanya yang nge-cover dance K-pop. Salut sih lagi dingin-dingin gitu tetap ada yang mau perform.
Tumblr media
SEOUL LANTERN FESTIVAL
Gak lama dari itu, kita langsung menuju Seoul Lantern Festival di daerah sekitar Seoul City Hall tepatnya di Cheonggyechoen stream. Tempat ini semacam sungai kecil buatan di tengah kota, sungainya bening banget gaess. Pak Jokowi waktu bertandang ke Seoul tahun 2018, juga sempat ke sungai ini ditemani walikota Seoul. Di tahun 2018, festival ini diadakan selama 17 hari dari tanggal 2 – 18 November 2018. Festival nya semacam pameran lampion dalam bentuk karakter-karakter yang lagi hits. Ada lampion tayo dimari!! Lumayanlah untuk sight-seeing sembari get used to with Seoul di hari pertama. Jadi, waktu gue buat itinerary, di beberapa hari pertama gue pilih tempat-tempat di dalam kota untuk kita get used to with public transport, rute, dan lingkungan sekitar. Pada saat kita menuju Seoul Lantern Festival, rada puyeng juga cari tempatnya pas keluar dari stasiun city hall. Teman gue yang biasa jadi navigator kalau kita lagi nge-trip kind of giving up karena belum paham daerahnya dan google map looked different karena kebanyakan nama tempat tertulis dalam huruf hangul instead of English. Dan suhu yang dingin banget, sekitar 4 derajat celcius malam itu, buat gak konsen untuk nyari rute, secara badan kita belum terbiasa dengan suhunya. Walhasil, gue coba-coba cari rutenya dan alhamdulilah ketemu tempatnya. Gak tahan dingin, jadi sebentar aja di tempat ini setelah foto-foto.
Tumblr media
Day 2 (13 November 2018)
Sebelum berangkat, hal yang essensial ketika traveling adalah “don’t skip breakfast”. Penting itu guys!!. Malam sebelumnya gue sempet beli nasi instant di minimarket. Jadi tinggal dipanasin di microwave doang. Guest house gue sediain breakfast kecil semacam roti dan telur untuk tamu. Kita disini bisa masak juga karena ada dapurnya. Langsung aja deh kita angetin lauk yang kita bawa dari Jakarta kayak rendang kering, serundeng, teri balado, dan sambal. Buat menghemat budget dan biar ngerasa familiar sama rasa rumah, so tiap breakfast kita makan makanan Indonesia yang kita bawa.
HANEUL PARK
Destinasi pertama kita di hari ini adalah Haneul Park. Dari guest house ke Haneul Park, gue menggunakan bus. Turun dari bus di halte belakang World Cup Park Complex 3 ke Haneul Park ternyata jalannya cukup jauh. Di google map diinfokan jalan kaki sekitar 550 meter, tapi entah karena jalannya menanjak atau emang jaraknya jauh, gue rasa sekitar satu kilometer lebih gue jalan. Ada beberapa titik pemberhentian untuk menuju kesana, salah satunya yaitu yang gue sebutkan diatas. Dengan bermodalkan google map, kita mencari jalan menuju tempat itu. Sepanjang perjalanan dari halte menuju ke Haneul Park, pemandangannya oke parah. Banyak banget spot buat foto dan sepiiiiiii, berasa jalanan punya nenek moyang. Cuma siap-siap ngos-ngosan aja karena bakal jalan menanjak trus ngelewatin banyak anak tangga trus menanjak lagi sampai ketemu Haneul Park nya. Yang pasti tempat ini ada di dataran tinggi. Haneul sendiri artinya langit, so gak heran untuk mencapainya perlu mendaki gunung lewat di lembah sungai mengalir indah ke samudra. 
Sesampainya di Haneul Park, mungkin karena weekdays jadi gak terlalu banyak orang. Tapi, sayangnya salah satu spot foto yang udah kita incar yaitu tanaman Kochia Scoparia sudah tidak menarik karena sudah layu dan warnanya berubah. If only we came one or two weeks earlier, mungkin spot foto itu masih bagus. Yasudah, nasi sudah menjadi bubur. Walhasil kita foto-foto di ilalangnya aja. 
Tumblr media
Ada cerita menarik mengenai Haneul Park ini. Ternyata tempat ini dulunya semacam tempat pembuangan sampah yang tidak terawat. Akhirnya, pemerintah Seoul berinisiatif untuk menyulap tempat pembuangan ini menjadi taman ekologis. Dan TARRAAAA, akhirnya jadi taman yang super ciamik dan menjadi salah satu tourist spot yang popular. Huh, jadi inget bagaimana dulu sebuah tempat prostitusi di Jakarta bernama Kalijodo, lalu diubah menjadi salah satu taman terbesar dan ter-hitz di Jakarta yang punya banyak fasilitas. Eyaaa, okeh cukup. Let’s move on!
Dikarenakan kita cukup lelah jalan kaki cukup jauh, walhasil kita coba cari minimarket untuk beli minum. Beruntungnya ada semacam satu warung kelontong di Haneul Park. Kita mampir beli hot chocolate dan kimbap sembari menikmati pemandangan ilalang dari atas. Superb feeling that can’t be traded with anything. We’re enjoying our life banget deh pokoknya.
Ketika gue mau menuju ke destinasi selanjutnya, gue menemukan banyak orang yang sedang lining up menunggu pick up. Ternyata eh ternyata kalau gak mau capek jalan jauh-jauh ada semacam shuttle vehicle yang antar turis naik turun ke dan dari Haneul Park. Tiketnya beli di mesin seharga KRW 2000 per orang untuk sekali jalan. Karena kita capek jalan kaki dan ingin mengejar waktu, so we took this ride.
GWANGHWAMUN SQUARE
Setelah dari Haneul Park sebenarnya itinerary gue yaitu ke YG Entertainment. Tapi karena diluar prediksi, kita ngaret dan karena bigbang lagi hiatus juga walhasil skip tempat ini dan langsung menuju Gwanghwamun Square sekaligus perjalanan ke Samcheong-dong. Kita naik bus ke tempat ini. Sesampainya di daerah Gwanghwamun, ternyata lagi banyak yang demonstrasi. Selain itu, tepat di depan patung Gwanghwamun lagi ada acara. Banyak tenda-tenda yang berdiri di depannya. Mau foto tapi keganggu sama pemandangan tenda-tendanya ini. Jadinya kita gak foto dan langsung nyebrang ke halte bus menuju Samcheong-dong. So, bye Gwanghwamun Square. 
Tumblr media
BUKCHON HANOK VILLAGE (SAMCHEONG-DONG)
Bus menuju Samcheong-dong dari Gwanghwamun Square is quite unyu. Semacam perpaduan metromini dan mobil travel. Kita naik green bus nomor 11. Jaraknya gak terlalu jauh. Kita turun di halte Samcheong-dong Community Service. Jalanan di sepanjang Samcheong-dong pada saat autumn ini biasanya jadi spot foto buat turis. Tapi daun-daunnya udah lumayan sepi dari ranting, so kita memutuskan untuk foto-foto di Bukchon Hanok Village aja yang terletak satu daerah. Untuk ke tempat ini diperlukan mendaki kembali karena letak village nya ada diatas pemukiman.
Di daerah ini banyak penyewaan baju Hanbok, pakaian adat khas Korea. Banyak orang yang lalu-lalang pakai baju Hanbok dengan destinasi utama mereka mau mengambil latar Bukchon Hanok Village. Gue dan teman-teman memutuskan untuk sewa Hanbok nanti saja di hari ke lima ketika kita ke Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Bukchon Hanok Village ini adalah sebuah pemukiman warga yang masyarakatnya masih menjaga rumah ala budaya korea. Jadi, semacam cagar budaya. Karena tempat ini adalah pemukiman warga, maka ada peraturan bahwa kita gak boleh berisik dan harus ngomong pelan-pelan. Intinya gak boleh buat gaduh. Di setiap beberapa titik ada penjaga yang pegang papan tulisan peringatan untuk menjaga ketenangan di daerah tersebut. Gue jadi penghuni daerah sana agak males kali ya, ramai turis mulu setiap hari. Salut deh buat warga sana yang mau merelakan daerahnya untuk menjadi salah satu destinasi wisata di Korea.
Tumblr media
BANGNYEON SAMGYETANG
Lagi-lagi kita skip satu tempat. Awalnya gue dan kawan-kawan ingin makan di salah satu tempat Samgyetang yang terkenal di Seoul yaitu Tosokchon Samgyetang. Tapi, pas turun dari daerah Bukchon Hanok Village dan kita ingin menuju ke halte bus, kita menemukan restaurant Samgyetang di pinggir jalan bernama Bangnyeon Samgyetang. Googling sedikit tentang tempat itu, ternyata masuk salah satu rekomendasi dari Michelin Star, yasudah karena hari sudah siang dan kita juga lapar, langsung cuss masuk ke restaurant nya.
Samgyetang ini adalah sup ginseng ayam khas korea. Karena kehasut oleh drama korea, banyak scenes aktornya lagi makan sup ginseng ayam ini, walhasil ini masuk salah satu rencana things to eat in korea. Ukuran ayamnya satu ekor gesss. Jadi, kita pesen dua ayam untuk tiga orang dan seporsi pajeon Korean pancake. Di dalam ayam nya ada nasi dan beberapa rempah-rempah. Rasanya gak terlalu strong tapi enak. Efek gak pakai mecin mungkin, makanya rasanya gak terlalu kuat, lol. Makan samgyetang ini pada saat cuaca dingin tuh cocok banget. Total bill yang kita bayar untuk dua porsi samgyetang dan pajeon adalah sebesar KRW 41000. Restaurant makanan disana rata-rata serve air putih di tumblr besar dan gratis alias gak kena charge. Jadi, lumayan menghemat budget karena cuma pesan makanannya aja. Oia, mengenai kehalalannya, gue tidak menjamin ya guys. Di tempat ini pure cuma jual ayam dan side dish dari tepung dan sayuran. So, do your ijtihad ya. Kalau gak yakin, ya jangan dimakan.
Tumblr media
Pada saat gue makan itu sudah sekitar jam 2 siang. Udah gak terlalu ramai, dan sepertinya itu waktu istirahat untuk pegawai restaurannya. Jadi, ketika gue masih makan, owner restaurannya manggilin pegawainya untuk makan bareng-bareng di meja customer. Beda banget sama pekerja restaurant di Indonesia yang biasanya kalau istirahat makan gantian dan makannya di belakang.
 EWHA WOMANS UNIVERSITY
Setelah kenyang, kita langsung cabut ke next destination yaitu Ewha Womans University. Dari sini kita banyak improve rute bus dari yang sebelumnya sudah kita prepare. Karena di itinerary awal, kita ke Ewha dari Tosokchon. Beruntungnya, temen gue yang emang biasanya jadi navigator kita kalau kemana-mana sudah bisa adaptasi baca rute di google map korea. Karena Ewha luas banget, jadi banyak banget titik pemberhentian untuk menuju kesana. Gue dan kawan-kawan sempet bingung arah karena ternyata kita turun di belakang kampus, bukan di depan. Di pintu masuk yang mau kita lewatin ada security yang bikin kita jiper juga takut gak boleh lewat situ. Tapi, akhirnya kita tanya ke ahjussi nya kalau mau ke Ewha boleh gak masuk lewat situ, dan alhamdulilah ahjussi nya ngebolehin. 
Kita menyusuri kampus Ewha yang super keren parah pake banget dan pastinya sangat instagrammable. Banyak banget pohon, jadi mendukung banget warnanya kalau lagi musim gugur gini. Setelah sotoy gak tau arah, cuma ikutin feeling aja akhirnya kita nemu spot utama foto di Ewha. Jatohnya kita jalan dari atas dan turun ke bawah. Nah dari bawah itu lebih dekat dari titik stasiun Ewha. Banyak banget turis yang foto di spot utama itu, jadinya harus sabar-sabar kalau mau dapet posisi yang lagi kosong. Kita gak lama di Ewha karena udah sore dan harus ngejar itinerary berikutnya untuk ke DDP. Padahal, masih banyak banget tempat yang bisa di explore di Ewha.
Tumblr media
Selain kampusnya, di daerah dekat stasiun Ewha banyak banget skin care stores dan clothing stores. Lucu-lucu semuaaa. Clothing stores di Ewha ini cukup terkenal karena menurut orang-orang harganya lumayan bersahabat secara letaknya di daerah kampus, pun dengan model-model bajunya yang selalu ngikutin trend. Initially, kita juga mau shopping di Ewha, tapi karena next destination kita juga tempat shopping dan lebih besar, so skip. Next!
DONGDAEMUN DESIGN PLAZA (DDP)
Lagi-lagi kita skip satu tempat di itinerary, yaitu Gwangjang Market. Karena kita masih kenyang, sebelumnya kita makan samgyetang. So, skip satu lagi dan langsung ke DDP. Sekedar info, general stores di Gwangjang Market cuma buka sampai 6 sore. Restaurant-restaurant tertentu buka sampai jam 11 malam. Jadi, harus dilihat waktu juga kalau mau kesana, takutnya kalau kemaleman udah tutup stores nya.
Dari Ewha ke DDP kita naik subway. Turunnya di Dongdaemun History & Culture Park. Seinget gue di depan toilet stasiun ada vending machine yang jual kebutuhan toiletries semacam pembalut, tissue, dan lain sebagainya untuk ukuran travel size. Gue mencoba untuk beli tissue di vending machine itu, dan gue gak ngerti cara nya kan, asal-asal mencet tapi bingung kesudahannya, eh tiba-tiba ada oppa-oppa baik yang lewat tanpa babibu langsung pencetin tombol, langsung dah tuh keluar tissue nya. Makasih yah opppaaa (eyaaa), huhu agak terharu sih nemu orang baik di Korea soalnya rata-rata anak mudanya gak peduli kanan kiri gitu.
Di stasiun bawah tanah DDP udah banyak tempat shopping juga, tapi kita mau liat-liat diluar dulu. Kita keluar persis di Gedung DDP bagunan karya Zaha Hadid. Speechless sih berasa lagi di Negara maju banget saking modern nya arsiktekturnya. There are soooo much too see di DDP. Tapi niat kita adalah mau shopping karena banyak orang yang rekomendasiin untuk belanja disini, karena menurut review orang-orang banyak yang murah terutama yang di underground shoppingnya. 
Tumblr media
Setelah mengagumi keindahan DDP building dari luar, dan tentunya biar afdhol harus foto-foto di depannya, barulah kita mulai menyusuri pedagang yang ada di sekitar DDP. Pertama adalah pedagang kaki lima yang ada di luar DDP, yang sering banget muncul di vlog-vlog orang. Gak ada yang spesial sih dagangan di kaki lima situ. Rada lucu sih di tempat se-modern DDP di depannya ada PKL. Tapi, katanya udah diatur dan diijinkan sama pemerintah setempat untuk PKL boleh berdagang di sekitar situ. Yang penting mereka menjaga kebersihan. Kita pindah ke spot yang lain karena gak nemu yang sreg di sekitar situ. Dan banyak banget pilihan tempat belanja disitu, ada yang konsep mall, itc, kaki lima, ataupun underground. Kita masuk ke salah satu tempat Namanya Migliore yang konsepnya sama kayak ITC.
Baju-baju disana ada yang udah dikasih price tag dan banyak yang enggak. Biasanya baju yang bagus-bagus gak dikasih price tag dan bisa tawar menawar. Kalau yang ada price tag, udah harga pas. Gue sendiri banyak lumayan sreg sama model bajunya tapi enggak sreg sama harganya yang kurleb sama kayak di mall-mall Jakarta mahalnya. Oia, jangan nawar kebangetan ya kalau gak mau disinisin sama penjualnya. Jangan kayak nawar di pasar tanah abang, inget diri lagi di negara orang. Beruntungnya gue dapet satu coat yang lumayan cucok untuk gue pakai tepat esok hari ke Everland, warnanya pink dan dalemnya putih. Unyu-unyu lah untuk dipakai ke taman bermain. Gue cukup beli satu aja karena sebelumnya udah beli 3 baju di Hongdae. Teman gue ada yang dapet coat macam yang dipake model-model di majalah, bagus bener dan haganya masih masuk akal. Jadi, harus pinter-pinter nyari juga ya guys disini. Setelah dapat barang masing-masing, kita langsung caw ke the last destination, Myeongdong!
 MYEONGDONG MARKET
Ini pasar terkenal buanget dan overrated I think. Hampir semua orang yang ke Korea pasti mampir ke Myeongdong Market. Tempat ini terkenal sebagai surganya skin care. Tapi, believe me toko skin care di Korea tuh udah kayak tukang gorengan, tiap pengkolan ada. Tiap-tiap toko juga punya diskon dan promo nya masing-masing. Oia, dari DDP ke tempat ini gue naik MRT. Turun di stasiun underground daerah Myeongdong. Di stasiunnya aja udah bejubel tukang jualan. Bedanya sama underground stasiun lain mungkin disini ada toko yang jual kaset dan merchandise kpop. Lumayan terkenal juga tuh. Kita sempet masuk ke salah satu store kaset kpop karena temennya temen gue ada yang mau titip kaset exo (gak taunya gak jadi titip pas dikonfirmasi, errrr). Harganya sih kayaknya sama aja sih, cuma yang bikin kurang nyaman ahjussi penjaga tokonya kayak maksa banget buat kita beli kasetnya pffftt. Tapi, akhirnya kita bisa melepaskan diri dari ahjussi nya. Mon maap ahjussi ya kita gak jadi beli karena memang diantara kita bertiga gak minat beli kaset.
Lanjut dah kita langsung ke Myeongdong Market. Di gate depan udah banyak street food yang sering banget di review vlogger. Kita akhirnya cuma beli cemilan semacam lekker banana chocolate cheese dan enak banget ternyata. Muka kita udah ketara orang Indonesia banget, oppa yang dagang lekker langsung nawarin pakai Bahasa Indonesia “lima ribu saja” ahelah bisa aja oppa nya narik pelanggan. Untung ganteng, yaudah deh kita beli dan rasanya gak mengecewakan. Lumayan buat angetin badan makan lekker yang masih panas karena malem-malem dingin banget untuk kita-kita wanita tropis, huhu. Saking dinginnya kita masuk ke dalam store cuma buat angetin badan doang. Cuaca dingin ditambah kita capek juga udah jalan seharian, bikin gak terlalu mood untuk shopping. 
Tapi, di awal rencana kita emang mau cicil belanjaan untuk keperluan pribadi ataupun oleh-oleh di hari kedua supaya nanti di hari-hari akhir tinggal tambah kalau ada yang kurang aja. Pada saat kita mau angetin badan dan masuk ke k-mart, pas banget tuh isinya oleh-oleh makanan dan minuman khas korea. Tanpa basa-basi kita kalap beli oleh-oleh disana karena lumayan lengkap snacknya. Bayarnya bisa pakai cc ya guys, Jadi hemat-hematin duit won nya, Jangan sampai ludes di awal-awal. Gue beli susu pisang khas korea merk Binggrae setengah lusin buat bekal selama di Korea harus minum banana milk sehari satu. Suka banget guee, kalau di Indomaret dijual mungkin gue bisa beli tiap hari juga. Sayangnya, karena isinya lebih dari 100ml jadi gak memungkinkan untuk gue bawa ke pesawat karena bakal dimusnahkan sama security nya. Huft.

Overall, Myeongdong kurang lebih sama kayak Hongdae yang sama-sama punya konsep open street market. Banyak yang bilang skin care di Myeongdong murah-murah. I don’t think so. Yang murah cuma masker, selebihnya skin care yang lain semacam sleeping mask, moisturizer, toner, dan lain sebagainya harganya sama aja kayak di store skin care korea yang udah buka cabang di Jakarta. Jadi, daripada berat-beratin bagasi, mending gue skip dan beli di online shop macam shopee yang harganya bisa jauh lebih murah. Gak ngerti lagi ini yang jualan dari batam ngambil barang dimana? Kok bisa lebih murah gitu loh. Kan banyak yang suka buka jastip skin care di Korea. Coba cek dulu bandingin harga di online shop (tentunya yang trusted barangnya). Kalau emang gak ada barangnya belum masuk ke Indonesia, masih okelah kalau jastip. Tapi, kalau udah ada dan harganya lebih murah, ya agak rugi sih bagi gue ikut jastip.
Balik ke guest house dari Myeongdong tuh pe-er banget guys karena tangan kita penuh dengan tentengan oleh-oleh. Mau naik taxi takut ditipu, mau naik uber atau grab gak ada di Korea. Dikarenakan kaki temen gue juga sakit karena pakai sepatu yang salah untuk jalan-jalan (read: boots), akhirnya kita nge-bus dari Myeongdong ke Hongdae, walaupun agak jauh dikit daripada naik MRT. Lesson learnt, pakai sneakers atau sepatu yang comfy untuk traveling, karena itu ngaruh banget ke mood kita. Kalau kaki sakit rasanya males jalan jauh-jauh dan maunya istirahat mulu. So, make sure sepatu yang lo gunakan alasnya empuk dan gak nyekek jari-jari kaki. Sekian dan sampai berjumpa di episode berikutnya.

Regarding your post about gay men that are attracted to trans men still being gay... I feel like that's really important. I just wanted to say I really respect you and appreciate that. As a trans man I've always felt icky about that sort of thing, because it always felt like a lot of gay men would be repulsed or turned off by me simply because of the fact that I'm trans. Just want you to know I felt validated tonight. Thank you. (You don't have to answer this publicly, I just wanted to say it).
edit: sorry i kinda went on a rant so im hiding it under the cut but i just wanted to say im glad i could help! and remember: the burden is never on you to make yourself more attractive/appealing to us cis gay men. it’s our job to stop being transphobic dicks. the gay men who would be repulsed or whatever don’t deserve you—you can do better.
i’ll say it before and i’ll say it again. there’s so much misogyny in the gay community, and i think it really impacts our communal sexual relationships with trans men—this fear of the vagina. the prime example dan savage describing it as looking like a can of crushed meat; we make it ‘fun’ and ‘cute’ to repeatedly and passionately revel in our disgust for vaginas along with our glorification the penis and masculinity as some kind of mutually exclusive idol. btw, to all those gay men who think it’s cute to joke about how vagina stink like fish and look like meat and whatever—y’all literally eat ass. we, as a collective, put our mouths and tongues near that bit where shit comes out but a vagina is where you draw the line??anyway, this communal fear of vaginas can be a huge issue b/c, certainly in my experience, most trans men don’t really want or can’t afford invasive, expensive bottom surgery. hey cis dudes, did you know a trans man has to get a large section of skin transplanted off of a donor area such as his forearm, and then that gets formed into a basic penis which he may or may not be able to pee out of? then that penis will require further expensive cosmetic surgeries to alter the shape, maybe even some tattooing to add realistic-looking veins and stuff? i didn’t either until i looked it up! it’s no fucking wonder most guys would rather not bother.
then on the opposite end of the ‘goddammit’ you get into the whole fetishisation of trans men as some weirdly taboo and feminine alternative to cis men. terms like c**tboy get thrown around a lot; its almost the apex of this whole culture where self-hating homophobes have to call buttholes ‘boypussy’ to feel like they’re still masculine. these guys will objectify trans men as some alternative fuck which somehow preserves their masculinity. newsflash transphobes! if you’re fucking a dude! you gay!! also stay away from trans men because you’re gross and nasty!!!! unless a guy has specifically told you he enjoys terms like that and would like you to use them, don’t! it’s fucked up!listen, TL;DR, whatever: if you’re a gay man who is sexually attracted to a trans man, even if he has a vagina, you’re gay! he’s a dude! you’re still a dude who likes dudes! he could be a demiboy or genderfluid or whatever and guess what—you’re still gay! unless you want to identity as bi or pan or something, you don’t have to! you’re a gay man who likes men which is a surprisingly broad spectrum of beautiful people (even if cis white gays pretend it’s not).also, fun fact for those of us who aren’t attracted to vaginas: if you meet a cute trans dude but don’t know what his situation is and don’t wanna lead him on or something, it’s not a problem! you don’t actually have to be attracted to vaginas! so long as you find your partner sexy, it really actually doesn’t matter! if he wants to have sex with you, just communicate your inexperience ask him what he wants and if he’s comfortable he’ll teach you what to do and it’ll be fine! it’s a surprisingly easy learning curve, and you can generally save on lube. just because the organ itself doesn’t turn you on doesn’t mean seeing your partner enjoying himself won’t.and, finally, to the gay men who don’t care what i have to say and find trans men gross and think we should keep mocking vaginas because gold star blah blah whatever? keep it! fuck off! trans men don’t deserve to have to put up with your stupid bullshit! go cry about it in the arms of some haggard old white bear who just wants to relive his idealised youth by bouncing your overly-douched butthole on his dick. you two deserve each other. just don’t bother coming to pride—it’s not for transphobes like you.

About me unpopular opinions
(I'm not gonna tag I'll get attacked if I do)
I'm anti feminist/sjw rhetoric as in I do believe everyone should be accounted for and be equal but just not in the way that hurts others:
( I mean this)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I am skeptical of those that use they/them pronouns in their bio. Mostly because I've seen too many people use them and claim that they don't need gender dysphoria to be trans.
I like pineapple on pizza
White milk is gross I prefer chocolate
It's latino not latinx
There are some white people that are racist and there are some straight/cis people that are homophobic/transphobic. However, that doesn't mean they all are and I wish people would stop generalizing it as so.
I hate black and white pictures they feel empty. I legit colored the pics in my friends binder in freshman year because they were in black and white.
I hate Trissia paytas, James Charles, Onision people like that.
I don't find Dan and Phil attractive like don't get me wrong I can see how others are attractive but they're too much like me to be my type.
Worms are gross
I am for woman to have abortion rights however I do not like that some woman will use abortuon as another form of contraception despite having one already( use pills/condoms)
I am in between on legalizing weed mostly because I feel like a few will over use the power and not let people that need it medically get it.
Free the nipple is kinda dumb cuz a lot of women use it to just flaunt their titits. No it's ok to say it when a mom should be allowed to breast feed in public nit when you want to be naked.
I think men should have more say in custody battles too many shitty moms walk away with the child because the law said the man has no say.
I can respect others opinions be it political or not as long as we are mutually respectful of one another.
If you say your pan I will question if you mean it as in that's a most comfortable label for you or if you think bi is against trans (it's not)
3rd person pov in fanfic sucks there are some that are good but most are hard for me to focus on.
Facial hair on guys is gross this is just my preference it has more to do with how my dad has facial hair and the saying that your partner is like the embodiment of your parent.
Insects are cool
Pancakes are gross
I'm ok with others not shippinh what I ship. We can all be respectul of others ships it's not that hard.
Live shows are boring
There can be change without being mean to one another
Poc people can be racist I have seen them be racist to other poc people and to white people (yes you can be racist to white people)
The light furry is beautiful
If you want representation make it don't just bitch about not beinh any in other shows.
Vaping and smoking is gross but please be mindfull if others around you if you do vape/smoke.
I do think farm animals should be treated better but I'm not gonna be begam because of it.
Books I hate are 50 shades of gray, hunger games, twilight, and the fault in our stars ( had to write a page why I hate it in Highschool).
Dyed hair, piercings, and tattos should not be considered unprofessional.
Parents should let their kids have privacy but at the same time they should let them be open about their feeling.
I don't mind someone's religion as long as they're not jackass to those that don't believe.
Ghost can be explained by science
Boys/Men should be able to express emotion and be open to others if they experienced abuse or rape.
Girls/Woman can be pedophiles, rapist, abusive, shitty in genereal.
Hitting or insulting your child is not discipline.
People of the opposite sex can just be friends.
Gold fish are hard to take care of
Periods are gross
There are rules to crossing the boardsr and they should be respected. This is coming from an actual illegal immigrant (that's a post on it's own). (I am not pro trump btw) it's worse for most people that cross illegally. There are some illegals that are good but there are also some that are bad.
Taylor swift is like wine or cheese her songs get better with age.
Tacos (latino or american) are not that good.
Pickles and olives are gross so are pickles.
Pigeons are cute
Going braless or sleeping in underwear is gross (for me that is)
Shoe brands like Nike, pumas, and adidas have the ugliest shoes I've seen.
Colone is gross it makes me want to vomit from the smell.
That's all for now but please do not reblog this I don't want to get attacked.

Negativity lets get it, for readability’s sake, let’s call friend #1 Sam, friend #2 Patt, Friend #3 Ann, and Ann’s bf Dan: Im hanging out with Ann just talking & turns out she’s having serious conflict with Sam & Patt over her bf Dan cuz Dan is trans and they are having a hard time accepting their relationship. Of course I’m livid & so disappointed cuz I never expected this from Sam or Patt so when I go home I make a group chat with them & ask them wtf is going on. They’re both confused & have no clue what I’m talking about, I explain what Ann told me & Sam responds with screenshots from Dan’s Twitter..all the tweets biphobic as SHIT (ex. bi girls are just lesbians in training, why do bi girls complain about men so much just go lesbian etc etc..) and BTW Ann is literally bi & dating this dude..so Patt says they both had an argument with Ann cuz of these tweets, they showed Ann the tweets out of concern for her but Ann said it was cool and actually defended the biphobic tweets Dan made, Sam and Patt got upset cuz lot of people in our friend group (including me) are bi so they thought it was really fucked up to defend Dan. So not only did Ann lie to my face about what happened, she completely “forgot” to mention the biphobic tweets her bf made..and now I’m hearing from another friend that Ann didn’t mention the tweets to me becuz she and I quote “wanted someone on her side” like......I straight up do not know how to respond like this fucking lyin ass...idk man but yeah
dan is a bitch and ann needs some help like how do u say shit like that KNOWING your friends id as bi like if yr gonna be a cunt at least be open so everyone knows and ann just agreeing even tho it hurt u guys is actually so sad and the added layer of not accepting someone else's relationship bc a partner is trans is. so much theres so much bullshit here
