Happy New Year to you. My lazy son as NPC and LI. I think this took about a month to make. 70% of that time is taken by the wedding outfit alone. Commentary on each outfits and his personality backstory under Read More if you're interested :)

Your local veterinarian. He was a bratty and wild child, something his parents tried to coach him out of. Instead, he developed into a lazy and apathetic young man, and eventually his parents learned to accept the person he is. However, he sensed that he's the black sheep or "failure" compared to his successful big twin sisters, irregardless of how baseless it is. Cares for animals, not so much for humans. His character arc can go two ways depending on what you chose during the dialogues. His birthday is on 28th Spring.

He's my Star Wars OC actually. He's a Zakuulan Prince, so I incorporated that aspect into his merfolk form. If you don't see him around town, he might be underwater!

His spring outfit is based on the doodle I have of him from an ask lol. I kinda like the color cyan on him!

I forgot that Scott has a similar hibiscus shirt so I figured it was too late to modify it... Oh well.

Not much to say other than I kinda have a hard time deciding what he should wear for autumn.

He looks super snug. I really gotta learn how to draw coats to make them convicingly thick idk. He lowkey dislikes winter.

I kinda debated on if I should put body hair on him but I decided not to seeing almost every male NPC has them. I think. Yes, it's the ace flag colors.

If you marry him he'll appear in Aesan Gede, the South Sumatran (Palembang) traditional wedding attire. I can't really have his hair free because it'll get stuck on all the golden bits but I kinda am not feeling the bun either so back ponytail it is. Debated whether I should draw the Sundanese one (am half-Sundanese) because it's easier but South Sumatra has been under-represented in Indonesian media so my Srivijayan pride kicked in. Also tumblr keeps killing the transparency for some reason >;[

Does he look Prince-ly enough here? He's based on the barracuda fish. Considered making him a naga like the rest of the in-game merfolk royal family but I've actually drawn him as a merman before so I want to keep him as a... fish. blublubblub.

I'm currently playing his twin sisters and I'm having a hard time choosing the LIs for them helpppp

And no, sadly I'm not a backer on Kickstarter (source: golongan miskin) this is just art.

Costa, Tammy and Sean explore the amazing Bogor Botanical Gardens. It’s a huge space – 87 hectares – so they split up to cover different parts.

Bogor is the oldest botanic garden in South-East Asia, founded in 1817, as well as being a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site. It’s also a centre for research and home to more than 12,000 species of plants.

Some of the trees are hundreds of years old. Costa introduces us to the couples trees – two giants planted next to each other, a Red Meranti and a Ficus albipila, both planted in the 1800s – so named because couples often pose at their base for wedding photos and it’s said that standing here will make your love last forever.

Costa meets research Professor Dr Sri Rahayu, from the Research Center for Plant Conservation, Botanic Gardens & Forestry – BRIN, who specialises in hoya plants. Her work has taken her to most of Indonesia’s forests looking for unknown plants – she has described about 20 new species.

There is also a medicinal plant collection of more than 200 plants long used for medicine – some are being studied for the potential for treating illness as well as used in cosmetics.

Only 20% of Indonesia’s plants are understood so there is a lot of work still to do. Sri says many of these plants risk being lost before their properties are realised.

Featured plants:

Red meranti (Rubroshorea leprosula syn. Shorea leprosula)

Abbey tree (Ficus albipila)

Hoya towutiensis

Hoya sumatrana

Hoya sangguensis

Acanthus montanus

Lunasia amara

Yogyakarta, often hailed as the cultural heart of Java, offers an unparalleled journey through time, where history, architecture, and local traditions intertwine to create a rich tapestry of experiences. This city, with its profound historical significance and cultural depth, captivated me from the moment I arrived. In particular, the majestic Sultan's Palace, the quaint Dutch Quarter, and the immersive Javanese culture provided a deeply enriching exploration that left an indelible mark on my soul.

The Sultan's Palace: A Bastion of Javanese Royalty

The Sultan's Palace, or Kraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, stands as a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of Javanese royalty. This architectural marvel is not merely a royal residence but a living museum, encapsulating centuries of history and tradition. The palace complex, meticulously designed in accordance with Javanese cosmology, reflects a harmonious blend of indigenous design principles and colonial influences.

As I traversed the expansive courtyards and intricately carved wooden pavilions, I was struck by the palace's serene yet imposing presence. Each structure within the Kraton is imbued with symbolic meaning, from the orientation of buildings to the ornate decorations adorning their facades. The palace houses a wealth of historical artifacts, including royal heirlooms, traditional garments, and ceremonial objects, each narrating the storied legacy of the Yogyakarta Sultanate.

Witnessing a traditional court dance within the palace grounds was an experience of profound cultural significance. The dancers, adorned in elaborate costumes, moved with grace and precision, embodying the spiritual and artistic heritage of the Javanese people. The Sultan's Palace is not merely a relic of the past but a vibrant center of cultural preservation and celebration.

The Dutch Quarter: Echoes of Colonial Influence

Transitioning from the regal ambiance of the Kraton, I ventured into the Dutch Quarter, an area that exudes the quaint charm of Yogyakarta's colonial past. The Dutch colonial era, which began in the early 17th century, left an indelible mark on the city's architecture and urban landscape. The Dutch Quarter, with its cobblestone streets and stately colonial buildings, serves as a living chronicle of this historical period.

The architecture in the Dutch Quarter is characterized by its grand facades, expansive verandas, and intricate ironwork, reflecting the architectural aesthetics of the Dutch East Indies. Walking through this district felt like stepping back in time, as each building narrates tales of colonial enterprise, cultural exchange, and historical transformation.

The quarter is replete with charming cafes, galleries, and antique shops, offering a delightful juxtaposition of Javanese and European influences. These establishments provide not only a glimpse into the past but also a venue for contemporary cultural expression and dialogue. The Dutch Quarter is a place where history and modernity coexist, inviting visitors to explore and reflect on the complex narratives that have shaped Yogyakarta.

The Essence of Javanese Culture

Yogyakarta's true allure lies in its deep-rooted Javanese culture, which permeates every aspect of life in the city. The Javanese people are renowned for their rich traditions, artistic expressions, and unwavering commitment to preserving their cultural heritage. My immersion into this vibrant culture was both enlightening and transformative.

One of the most profound experiences was attending a wayang kulit performance, a traditional shadow puppet theater that is integral to Javanese cultural identity. The intricately crafted puppets, manipulated by skilled dalang (puppet masters), brought to life epic tales from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The accompanying gamelan orchestra, with its melodious and rhythmic sounds, added a transcendent quality to the performance, creating an atmosphere of mystical reverence.

Exploring Yogyakarta's bustling markets, traditional batik workshops, and local culinary scene further deepened my appreciation for Javanese culture. Each interaction, whether with artisans meticulously crafting batik textiles or vendors selling traditional delicacies, offered a glimpse into the daily life and enduring traditions of the Javanese people.

A Cultural Odyssey

Yogyakarta is not merely a destination; it is a cultural odyssey that beckons travelers to delve into its historical depths and embrace its cultural richness. The city's ability to seamlessly blend its royal heritage, colonial past, and vibrant local traditions creates a unique and compelling narrative that resonates with all who visit.

In conclusion, Yogyakarta offers an intellectual and cultural journey that transcends the ordinary. From the majestic Sultan's Palace to the charming Dutch Quarter, and the immersive experience of Javanese culture, every aspect of this city invites exploration and reflection. For those seeking a profound and enriching travel experience, Yogyakarta stands as a beacon of historical and cultural enlightenment.
