can you make wording about Han Sohee?

The woman with a beautiful long mane was sitting relaxing on a chair located in the back area of her house. She looks beautiful only with lipstick without heavy make-up, and the wind blows her hair. Her name is Han Soohe, the woman relaxes like she is on a beach with a beautiful view. Relax wearing all black clothes that cover part of her body because it looks very short when she sits her body on the chair that is too soft so that part of her body sinks into the chair.

[FGO Fan Servant Redux] King Sejong the Great (Genderbent)

안녕하세요!

This is a remake of last year’s attempt at making a fan Servant, intended for Hangeul Day to celebrate his legacy. (2 days late...) Probably the only Korean with an actual chance of making it into FGO, if DW ever allows that.

Introducing, King Sejong the Great! Genderbent, of course. Because this is Fate, what were you expecting? (I know it’s not completely historical, but it makes for a fun story.)

Name: King Sejong the Great

Class: Caster

Origin: Korea – Joseon Dynasty (1400s)

Alignment: Lawful-Good

Type: Man

Bio: Curiosity. Generosity. Spite. The 4th King of Korea’s Joseon Dynasty.

An insatiable thirst for knowledge, both scientific and magical, and knack for inventing that led to the kingdom’s first royal research institute. An all-giving kindness for her downtrodden people that weakened her status and health. A pure spite for the nobility, inheritance from her father and reinforced by tragedy. She sought to bring meritocracy onto an already stagnant society. Welfare for the poor. Knowledge to all. For in her eyes, all were genuinely equal.

She who utterly shattered the status quo and changed the course of a nation with just one invention, personally handmade by the King herself. Hangeul, a written alphabet for her people that even a peasant could learn in a week. An invention that may have saved them centuries in the future.

She truly earned the title of ‘The Great.’

[Skills, Additional Sprites, and Lore]

Class Skills

Territory Creation Rank A-: The Hall of Worthies, her kingdom’s first Royal Research Institute, which contained the King’s personal workshop and gave birth to many creations.

Item Creation Rank B: Was personally involved in the creation of Hangeul and many other projects at the Hall of Worthies in the fields of agriculture, astronomy, warfare etc.

Personal Skills

Patronage B: Served as patron to the Hall of Worthies, when she wasn’t busying herself there already. Heavily believed in meritocracy and held the belief that anyone, regardless of status or lineage, could succeed if given the chance. Personally, she handpicked a peasant for the position of Royal Engineer, a true embodiment of her beliefs.

Charisma C: Wildly popular amongst the populous, and able to persuade the fickle Royal Court, regardless of how many times she pissed them off.

Humanitarianism A: Improved literacy nation-wide. Supported paternity leave for both mothers and fathers. Introduced tax reform to reduce burden on famine-stricken areas. Funded many inventions to help improve citizens’ livelihood. She truly loved her people, no matter the costs.

Rapid Words of Casting EX: Invented an entire alphabet for the express purpose of easier and faster reading and writing. Duh?

Entertainment Revision EX: Gains access to skills she does not normally possess. Stronger the more dramatic and flashier the skill is. Similar to Imperial Privilege. (Blame K-Drama.)

Quotes

Edison: Anyone can learn my alphabet in a week. But moving pictures need no introduction. This would have been so useful for so many reasons! Show me more films, Mr Haechi!

Nobunaga: ...For both our sakes, that ‘monkey’ of yours better not show his face to me.

Shakespeare: This is the epitome of western entertainment? Fascinating. You know, I too dabbled in poetry a bit. Perhaps we can share notes?

Touta: The people are the roots of a nation, and those roots should be well-fed so as to create a peaceful nation. That rice bowl of yours is truly beautiful. May I look inside..?

Archer Gil: How could a king who should rule over all people and all things in the country with impartiality treat those of low birth any differently from the way he treats others? I am willing to bow my head towards my people if needed. What say you?

Babbage: ...I want that! To the Hall!

Bond 1: The third child of the third King Taejong (태종), three generations separated from their dynasty’s founder Taejo (태조). Ido was the apple of her father’s eye, her curiosity and (properly timed) rebellious spirit catching his eye, but was initially ignored regarding inheriting the throne. However, her two older brothers abdicated the throne to separate themselves from their father’s bloody legacy of murdering all his relatives and many more to maintain his power. With that, the path was cleared and Ido took to the throne upon her father’s surprisingly peaceful death, taking the name Sejong for herself. Contrast to the previous king’s blood-soaked reign, Sejong devoted herself to her people and to improving quality of life throughout the nation, even establishing the Hall of Worthies to advance the field of agriculture, astronomy, warfare etc. with her patronage and personal participation. She did inherit her father’s dislike for the nobility, and for good reason.

Bond 2: She did not care for social norms and promoted meritocracy, holding the belief that if anyone, regardless of status or bloodline, could accomplish anything if they were giving a chance to prove themselves. Her embodiment of this belief would be Jang Yeong-sil (장영실), a former peasant-turned-Royal Engineer and close confidant. Having heard rumours of his cleverness, she personally invited the son of an escort to the palace, where he managed to impress the King. Excited, she took him under her wing, despite the protests of the nobility. Nevertheless, he would prove himself a worthy ally, helping to create independent advancements in the fields of astronomy and meteorology using his knack for inventing. Bonding over their love of the pursuit of knowledge, he and the King shared a very close friendship, one plagued with hijinks, ‘SCIENCE!’, and ink-soaked robes. Her trust in him was absolute, even willing to forgive him immediately when one of his inventions proved faulty and injured the test subject… who just so happened to be the King herself. Unfortunately, the nobility, jealous of the inventor and fearful for their own positions, seized upon this opportunity, having him tried and imprisoned in spite of the King’s protests.

A betrayal unlike no other. A reminder of the callousness of the Royal Court and of her fragile power.

Bond 3: Noble Phantasm: [훈민정음 – 한글]

The Proper Words for the Instruction of the People.

Rank: EX

King Sejong’s most influential creation. The one that would forever earn her the title of ‘The Great’. Developed in secret at the Hall of Worthies, its very existence alone had the potential to put even a king’s life in danger. Penned by the King personally, it was a scientifically-designed featural alphabet with 17 constants and 11 vowels, created to replace the ill-fitting Chinese characters that had been in use up to this point, in spite of Korea having had a separate spoken language for centuries. Designed for ease of reading and writing, even a peasant could learn in a busy week, an afternoon for a noble. Upon its completion, it was initially announced to the Royal Court, who opposed its very existence. Even those loyal to the crown protested, fearful that a literate populous would prove unruly and rebellious. In spite of, or perhaps because of the protests of the nobility, it was released on October 9, 1495, immediate adopted by the public.

Bond 4: Literacy reached an all-time high. It would kickstart a literary Renaissance that would last for generations, as even the peasants, now literate, could participate, partaking in others’ adventures while sharing their own experiences. Even the nobility, initially disdainful, would later adopt it, both in private and public affairs. But their warnings were right, in a way. An educated populace with ease of communication and plenty of grievances (for future kings) meant many rebellions to come. But it also united a nation. There were no true boundaries between the rich and poor, city and rural. All could communicate to one another, and thus all were made equal. Whether they wanted to be or not.

It may have even saved Korea completely. During a time of both China and Japan pushing and pulling the nation apart, especially during Japan’s forced occupation and colonization, Hanguel allowed the culture and history of Korea to be safely preserved, when it might otherwise have been lost to history, losing them their future as a nation. They prevailed, all thanks to an alphabet anyone could learn, and were restored their heritage.

Bond 5: She claimed to have lived a sheltered life in the palace, but her love for her people far exceeded that of someone who only saw them from above and beyond stone and wooden walls. Nevertheless, she truly saw all as equal, never dismissing a complaint just because it came from a peasant or allowing people with power to abuse those who were underneath them. Sadly a quality lacking even to this day... She is one of only 2 Kings of Korea to have earned the title ‘The Great’ and for good reason. Wise beyond her years and even her society, she devoted everything for her people.

“The people are the roots of a nation, and the roots should be strong so as to create a peaceful nation.”

📕 What do you do to comfort? I usually use reading to comfort myself especially when my mind won't shut off. Free food for millionaires is now officially over. 😭 I’ve read this book with one of my students. We took our time reading, marking and discussing. There is something special about reading a book together. Have you tried it? It amplifies bonding and offers all kinds of conversation topics and you witness a great change in quality of conversation through meaningful exchanges. I'd highly recommend.😘 This book dives into the intricacies of Korean culture. The story unfolds Casey, a Korean-American, who’s life is on hold while the rest of the world is moving, trying to get a hard look of her life for the first time. Now I know how Min Jin Lee won the national book award. I really loved this book because it portrays how the realities of growing up in America and having Korean parents can create gaps in understanding between two generations. A part of me wanted Casey to stop being stubborn and listen to people around but then there were more reasons why I wouldn’t convince. Every time I opened this book, I was hooked. ✍🏼I wrote something after reading this book. It will be on Patreon! If you are interested, find link in bio 🖤 . . . . . #book #reading #bookstagram #read #learn #독서시간 #library #Korean #hangeul #koreanisch #learnkorean #studykorean #korea #learntogether #education #think #learnandshare #lernen #growtogether #한국어 #bookstagram #booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/CPr7ZIVFAwK/?utm_medium=tumblr

remember, september

Ah, I can’t believe it’s already Friday again. This week has went by really fast, surprisingly.

See, I have this week-long holiday from Monday, October 2nd to Monday, October 9th (mainly) because of Chuseok--which is Korean Thanksgiving. I said mainly because supposedly Chuseok itself is only 3 days long and it’s from Wednesday to Friday. Tuesday was National Foundation Day of Korea and the second Monday is National Hangeul Day. The previous Monday was a temporary holiday, which in Indonesia it is something like “libur kejepit” but it is official, in a way, so there’s that.

I can’t remember doing anything productive this week or going out to explore, unless you count Lotte World which I went to yesterday. My plan for this week to explore Seoul is out ever since my sleep schedule is ruined and only spend most of my days in my room hanging out with my friend, rest in pieces Gladyzka. But since she went back to her place earlier, I don’t have anything to do now which is why I thought, hey let me be productive and finally update my blog.

As the title suggested, I am going to talk about what happened this September--a.k.a my birth month. Mostly about my feelings and some (small, yet special) moments that is not something that could fit in a standalone post and definitely self-indulgent. And, uh, has some of fangirl-y moments that has k-pop idols in it so if you don’t want to read me rambling and talk about it, feel free to skip this post, hehe.

i took this picture on september 2nd, a beautiful view to greet september, don’t you think?

September has always been a little bit special to me because, you guessed it, it is the month of birthday. Even now when I don’t see the point of making a big deal of my birthday or looking forward to that day, but I still like September. It has also a nice ring to its name--but maybe it’s just me being biased.

This year, September has been a very, very, special month, more than usual and very dear to my heart. It is a month of new beginnings and new opportunities, new friendships and new experiences. My days in one of Korea’s top three universities has started, meeting and making new friends from across the globe, trying new things, trying not to be me--a closeted introvert who rather not open up to people and try to make conversations instead of staying in an awkward silence with strangers.

I jokingly made a pun in my Instagram’s bio by putting “currently in a S(e)oul searching journey”, but honestly it has a bit of truth in it. I am trying to find out who I really am and testing myself living alone in a foreign country without any family relatives in the same country. It’s not like I am completely attached to my parents and this is my first time away from them, no it’s nothing like that. It is the first time I lived in another country away from them though. I am also trying to be a better version of myself, for the sake of my future and to be a better daughter to my parents and better sister to my siblings. I am still doing all that now, trying to be better that is, but then again you cannot expect yourself to change in a span of a month, right?

On a less serious note about myself, I had the greatest time so far in Seoul! I’m not going to lie, coming here was a very hard decision--which I might talk about on another post. I knew before coming here I might have some good time but I did not expect to have a really great time! I saw a lot of famous people (mostly Korean idols but I also did saw Hollywood stars) pretty up close, which might not be possible to experience in Indonesia, haha. I tasted a lot of great food, and trust me Korea has a lot of. I went to new places with beautiful views, right here in Seoul without going somewhere else. I went to three concerts already, which to be honest I should not have done because I need to save my money up but then again if the price is to be converted to Rupiah, it is really cheap! I would say I feel bad going there but they were some good deals so, oh well.

All in all, I am really happy and enjoyed my time here so far! I hope the next 3 months to come, while I am here in Seoul, will leave a good mark in my life too. I hope I could go back to Indonesia being a different, but better, person. And I hope, on top everything else, I will be happy and live my life to the fullest.

[FGO Fan Servant] Servant Caster, Genderbent King Sejong.

In celebration of Hanguel Day, a national holiday in Korea, I have decided to play my hand in creating a Servant. My first attempt, actually.

Introducing: Servant Caster King Sejong 'The Great'!

Name: King Sejong the Great

Class: Caster

Origin: Korea – Joseon Dynasty (1400s)

Alignment: Lawful-Good

Type: Man

Bio: The 4th King of Korea’s Joseon Dynasty. A scholar. A writer. A scientist. A mage.

Seeming to possess both insatiable curiosity and infinite kindness, along with a dash of spite-fueled stubbornness, she earned the title ‘The Great’, not for military conquest, but for her humanitarianism and progressive polices. In sharp contrast to her father, a king who murdered even his family for the throne, she was a kind and caring King of the People, one who fought tooth and nail for those in her care regardless of risks. An avid supporter and patron for the advancement of science and magecraft in order to improve her nation and her citizens’ livelihood, her most famous act would be the creation of Hangeul, an alphabet designed so that even the lowliest of peasants could learn to read and write within a week.

Class Skills

Territory Creation Rank C+: The Hall of Worthies, a Royal Research Institute which contained the King’s personal mage workshop.

Item Creation Rank B+: Was personally involved in the creation of Hangeul, and sponsored many other projects at the Hall of Worthies.

Personal Skills

Patronage B+: Served as patron to the Hall of Worthies, and sponsored many endeavors into the fields of science and magecraft. Heavily believed in Meritocracy and held the belief that anyone, regardless of status or lineage, could succeed if given the chance. Personally promoted a peasant to position of Royal Engineer, the most shining example of her beliefs.

Charisma B: Wildly popular amongst the populous, and able to persuade the fickle Royal Court, regardless of how many times she pissed them off.

Agricultural Boon C: Penned several books on agriculture and farming techniques, then had them distributed amongst the populace to increase productivity.

Rapid Words of Casting EX: Invented an entire alphabet for the express purpose of easier and faster reading and writing.

Entertainment Revision EX: K-Drama. Gains access to skills she does not normally possess. Stronger the more dramatic and flashy the skill is. Similar to Imperial Privilege.

Bond 1

Born the 3rd child of the 3rd King Taejong (태종-이방원), and the grandchild of the dynasty’s founder Taejo (태조-이성계), Ido (이도) was originally never meant to inherit the throne. However, her 2 older brothers, horrified by the King’s, their father’s brutal actions towards anyone who possibly posed a threat to the monarchy, desired nothing more to do with the throne. They instead choose to abdicate the position of heir apparent to Ido, much to their father’s delight, who thought the studious and hard-working Ido as much better suited for the position. Given the title of Grand Duke and place under her father’s direct tutelage, the Royal Court feared, that like father like daughter, that there would be a second calling of Taejong, a bloody King who killed his half-brothers, his brothers-in-law, his father-in-law, his son’s father-in-law, and so many others to both obtain and maintain the throne. Luckily, the only notable trait she seemed to inherit was his stubbornness and his disdain for nobility.

Bond 2

After her father’s death by surprisingly not murder, but old age, Sejong (세종), formerly named Ido, worked to distinguished her reign from her predecessors. She heavily promoted the pursuit of knowledge in the fields of both science and magecraft, and established The Hall of Worthies (집현결), the Joseon Dynasty’s Royal Research Institute, filling it with the brightest minds the nation had to offer. Meteorology, astronomy, military weaponry, alchemy and agriculture were some of the many fields being researched and expanded upon, with the hope that they could be utilized to strengthen Korea, both internally and externally. The King, holding a healthy amount of curiosity herself, participated as well, having a personal lab and workshop set up there.

Bond 3

She did not care for social norms, and promoted meritocracy, holding the belief that if anyone, regardless of status or bloodline, were given an opportunity, could accomplish anything if they put their mind to it. The most shining example of this belief would be Jang Yeong-sil (장영실), a former peasant-turned-Royal Engineer. Having heard rumours of his cleverness and ingenuity, she personally invited him, the son of an escort, to the palace, where he managed to pique the King’s interest after completing a series of trials. Impressed, she promoted him to the position of Royal Engineer and invited him to partake in the Hall of Worthies, despite the protests of the nobility. Nevertheless, he would prove himself a worthy addition, helping to create independent advancements in the fields of astronomy and meteorology using his knack for inventing. Bonding over their love of the pursuit of knowledge, he and the King shared a very close friendship, with him confiding in her his inventions and discoveries, and her taking him under her wing in the field of magecraft. Her trust in him was absolute, even willing to forgive him immediately when one of his inventions proved faulty and injured the test subject… who just so happened to be the King herself. Unfortunately, the nobility, jealous of the inventor and fearful for their own positions, seized upon this opportunity, having him tried and ultimately imprisoned, in spite of the King’s protests.

Bond 4

Noble Phantasm: [훈민정음 – 한글]

The Proper Words for the Instruction of the People.

Rank: EX

King Sejong’s most influential creation. The one that would rightfully earn her the title ‘The Great’. Developed in secret at the Hall of Worthies, its very existence alone had the potential to put even the King’s life in danger. Penned by the King herself, it was a scientifically-designed featural alphabet with 17 constants and 11 vowels, created to replace the ill-fitting Chinese characters that had been in use up to this point, in spite of Korea having had a separate spoken language for centuries. Designed to be easy to read and write, even a working man was capable of learning it in a week. Upon its completion, it was initially announced to the Royal Court, who vehemently opposed its very existence. Even those loyal to the crown protested, fearful that a literate populous would prove unruly and rebellious. In spite of, or perhaps because of the protests of the nobility, it was released on October 9, 1495 to the public with almost immediate success. It strengthened the Korean national identity, helping Korea to differentiate itself from China. It would kickstart a literary Renaissance, as even the peasants, now almost all literate, could participate, writing down their own thoughts and observations while reading those of others. Even the nobility, initially disdainful, would later adopt it, both in private and public affairs.

Bond 5

A King of the People, who cared greatly for her nation’s citizens. In addition to Hanguel, she also penned several books of agricultural techniques to be distributed amongst the populous for increased productivity and surplus. She introduced tax-reforms, so that plague or famine-stricken areas could pay reduced taxes, focusing on recovery instead of immediate gains. She introduced paternity leave, not just for mothers but for fathers as well. Amongst other Kings, both past and future, she would go above and beyond the call, willing to risk her standing, her reputation, and even her health to improve the lives of her citizens.

Almost suspiciously so. So very caring for people she should not have met. Should being the word here. There are rumours she snuck out of the palace to mingle with the populous. That would certainly be the case for most K-Dramas…

Nevertheless, she truly earned the title ‘The Great’ as a King fully devoted to the cause of humanitarianism and the pursuit of knowledge. Long live the King.
