Artist application - MCSM Fanzine

Application for the first edition of the MSCM fanzine ! This wonderful zine aim to show all and any character from the MSCM universe in a si

GET IN HERE IF YOU CAN !!!!

As expected the theme for this zine will be Winter ! The season might not have started yet but by the time this zine should be ready, it will have been around for a bit now ! I hope this very vast theme will bring joy and ideas to everyone.

Either it be hot cocoa near the fireplace, snow on the horizon or even christmas itself, everything goes as long at is takes place during the season !

Ounce the two weeks are over I will go over every application to get as much people into this zine ! E-mails will be send and all that boring stuff <3

Keep in mind that things will have to be discussed in between participant when this phase will be over, we wouldn't want everyone to choose the same character and setting ): (as lovely as that still would be)

I will do my best for this to go smoothly, everyone is welcome to be patient and polite with me, don't be mean !

For anyone wondering you will have until december 1st to finish your pieces but this time limit can and will change if anyone needs it ! It is merely temporary for now to give me an idea of what's to come.

SPACE MENTION 🌌🗣

Astronomers used three of NASA's Great Observatories to capture this multiwavelength image showing galaxy cluster IDCS J1426.5+3508. It includes X-rays recorded by the Chandra X-ray Observatory in blue, visible light observed by the Hubble Space Telescope in green, and infrared light from the Spitzer Space Telescope in red. This rare galaxy cluster has important implications for understanding how these megastructures formed and evolved early in the universe.

How Astronomers Time Travel

Let’s add another item to your travel bucket list: the early universe! You don’t need the type of time machine you see in sci-fi movies, and you don’t have to worry about getting trapped in the past. You don’t even need to leave the comfort of your home! All you need is a powerful space-based telescope.

But let’s start small and work our way up to the farthest reaches of space. We’ll explain how it all works along the way.

This animation illustrates how fast light travels between Earth and the Moon. The farther light has to travel, the more noticeable its speed limit becomes.

The speed of light is superfast, but it isn’t infinite. It travels at about 186,000 miles (300 million meters) per second. That means that it takes time for the light from any object to reach our eyes. The farther it is, the more time it takes.

You can see nearby things basically in real time because the light travel time isn’t long enough to make a difference. Even if an object is 100 miles (161 kilometers) away, it takes just 0.0005 seconds for light to travel that far. But on astronomical scales, the effects become noticeable.

This infographic shows how long it takes light to travel to different planets in our solar system.

Within our solar system, light’s speed limit means it can take a while to communicate back and forth between spacecraft and ground stations on Earth. We see the Moon, Sun, and planets as they were slightly in the past, but it's not usually far enough back to be scientifically interesting.

As we peer farther out into our galaxy, we use light-years to talk about distances. Smaller units like miles or kilometers would be too overwhelming and we’d lose a sense of their meaning. One light-year – the distance light travels in a year – is nearly 6 trillion miles (9.5 trillion kilometers). And that’s just a tiny baby step into the cosmos.

The Sun’s closest neighboring star, Proxima Centauri, is 4.2 light-years away. That means we see it as it was about four years ago. Betelgeuse, a more distant (and more volatile) stellar neighbor, is around 700 light-years away. Because of light’s lag time, astronomers don’t know for sure whether this supergiant star is still there! It may have already blasted itself apart in a supernova explosion – but it probably has another 10,000 years or more to go.

What looks much like craggy mountains on a moonlit evening is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals previously obscured areas of star birth.

The Carina Nebula clocks in at 7,500 light-years away, which means the light we receive from it today began its journey about 3,000 years before the pyramids of Giza in Egypt were built! Many new stars there have undoubtedly been born by now, but their light may not reach Earth for thousands of years.

An artist’s concept of our Milky Way galaxy, with rough locations for the Sun and Carina nebula marked.

If we zoom way out, you can see that 7,500 light-years away is still pretty much within our neighborhood. Let’s look further back in time…

This stunning image by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features the spiral galaxy NGC 5643. Looking this good isn’t easy; 30 different exposures, for a total of nine hours of observation time, together with Hubble’s high resolution and clarity, were needed to produce an image of such exquisite detail and beauty.

Peering outside our Milky Way galaxy transports us much further into the past. The Andromeda galaxy, our nearest large galactic neighbor, is about 2.5 million light-years away. And that’s still pretty close, as far as the universe goes. The image above shows the spiral galaxy NGC 5643, which is about 60 million light-years away! That means we see it as it was about 60 million years ago.

As telescopes look deeper into the universe, they capture snapshots in time from different cosmic eras. Astronomers can stitch those snapshots together to unravel things like galaxy evolution. The closest ones are more mature; we see them nearly as they truly are in the present day because their light doesn’t have to travel as far to reach us. We can’t rewind those galaxies (or our own), but we can get clues about how they likely developed. Looking at galaxies that are farther and farther away means seeing these star cities in ever earlier stages of development.

The farthest galaxies we can see are both old and young. They’re billions of years old now, and the light we receive from them is ancient since it took so long to traverse the cosmos. But since their light was emitted when the galaxies were young, it gives us a view of their infancy.

This animation is an artist’s concept of the big bang, with representations of the early universe and its expansion.

Comparing how fast objects at different distances are moving away opened up the biggest mystery in modern astronomy: cosmic acceleration. The universe was already expanding as a result of the big bang, but astronomers expected it to slow down over time. Instead, it’s speeding up!

The universe’s expansion makes it tricky to talk about the distances of the farthest objects. We often use lookback time, which is the amount of time it took for an object’s light to reach us. That’s simpler than using a literal distance, because an object that was 10 billion light-years away when it emitted the light we received from it would actually be more than 16 billion light-years away right now, due to the expansion of space. We can even see objects that are presently over 30 billion light-years from Earth, even though the universe is only about 14 billion years old.

This James Webb Space Telescope image shines with the light from galaxies that are more than 13.4 billion years old, dating back to less than 400 million years after the big bang.

Our James Webb Space Telescope has helped us time travel back more than 13.4 billion years, to when the universe was less than 400 million years old. When our Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launches in a few years, astronomers will pair its vast view of space with Webb’s zooming capabilities to study the early universe in better ways than ever before. And don’t worry – these telescopes will make plenty of pit stops along the way at other exciting cosmic destinations across space and time.

Crimson Flower

hey man! was skimming through your aus and i was wondering what biome based challenges vos and the others would face in the templeswap au and how that would lead to vos getting imprisoned ... sounded very inter esting

Yesyes so the TempleSwap AU started as “what if the Sea Temple was a desert or jungle temple instead?” and I ran with those biomes to theme each temple and its rooms! In the Desert Temple iteration, Jack, Vos, and Sammy explore a massive sandcastle in the Twisting Sands of Spyr’hal Mesa; in the Jungle Temple version, the trio explore a labyrinth-style construct (think of a jungle temple the size of a woodland mansion) in the middle of a crazy jungle I have yet to name. As for the challenges:

🏜️Desert Temple: The traps are similar to pyramids with most of the dangers being husks and quicksand pits. (Pretty easy to avoid if you’re taking your time and keeping an eye out.) However, the main trouble comes when the trio find a giant room with a terracotta X on the floor. As Jack starts digging, the sand floor around the X falls through, revealing a bottomless pit beneath it. Sammy was unfortunately standing on the sand and falls to her death. Attempting to flee, Jack and Vos are separated when Vos stumbles into quicksand and slowly dragged into a secret chamber beneath the floor. Jack is slightly worse for wear, getting caught in a husk horde on his way to the entrance; his eye and arm get scratched up bad.

The sandstone walls in Vos’ cell are too steep to climb and mining fatigue won’t let him dig his way out. Luckily, he does have a lantern and lots of water bottles and the sand floor is pretty warm and cozy. The downsides are the occasional husk that falls through the quicksand pit onto him and the rare heatwaves that make the temple miserably hot.

🌲Jungle Temple: The winding maze of hallways is very Indiana Jones inspired with the boobytraps being trapdoors, arrow dispensers, pressure plates that move walls, etc. There are also hidden buttons that reveal secrets if you’re paying attention. The trio make it to a chamber with a golden totem of undying surrounded by pressure plates, buttons, and levers. Jack suspects the idol to be a fake (it is) and the trio opt to test the levers and pressure plates one by one to see if any reveal a hidden doorway. Most shoot arrows or open rooms that lead nowhere, but one drops a wall that hides a zombie horde behind it. The three try and regroup at a previous hallway, but Sammy trips over a vine while trying to escape the horde and is killed by zombies. While running through the maze, Vos steps on a pressure that seals him behind a wall. Jack gets an arrow to the face on the way out so that’s why his eye is messed up.

Vos assumed the pressure plate he stepped on would fire an arrow at him so he ducked and rolled… right into the hidden room that opened up. Oops. Before he knew what actually happened, the wall behind him slammed shut and locked him inside. He has rations and torches and the vines on the walls make for great bed fodder. Again, mining fatigue won’t let him break his way out and the constant zombie growls keep him awake often.

I decided to make the holding cells in Minecraft for fun. :] I wanted the chambers to be different from the Sea Temple where he’s stranded on the ceiling so the Desert Temple has him stuck beneath the floor and the Jungle Temple traps him in the walls.

Funnily enough, Vos survives in both these versions! Depending on the temple, he either lives off of rotten flesh from the husks that accidentally fall through the quicksand pit or eats moss and vines off the walls Deltarune style. Can you imagine the surprise when Jesse and co. hear a voice speak to them from beneath the floor/ behind a wall? Petra throws a rope down through the quicksand and pulls up a very sand-coated man in the Desert Temple. Or Jesse manages to find the right pressure plate to open up the wall to free a frazzled fella who looks like he totally hasn’t eaten moss ever… he promises.

I want Kanade and Rui to meet! i feel like Kanade would be the first and only person who could reasonably hold a conversation with Rui when he goes technobabble.

Tsukasa would be so proud of Rui for making friends

My bf studied japanese in high school and often says "gambate!" (not sure of spelling) to be like. encouraging. I think it means roughly "let's get this bread." However, as someone who took spanish in high school, it always sounds like a command to me. And as near as I can tell, in spanish it would mean "go shrimp yourself."

A new gruesome massacre that Israel had committed in a displacement camp in Mawasi. If you're finding the name Mawasi too familiar, it is because just a few days ago, Palestinians in Gaza were sharing the orders they received from Israel to move to that area specifically in Khanyounis.

At least 100 Palestinians have been killed and the number is very likely going to rise, considering there is only one hospital in the area, Nasser hospital, which is barely functioning with no fuel to generate power, not enough beds or manpower. Even mortuary refrigerators are reportedly too full.

The massacre took place in the very early hours of the morning when families were still in their tents, before embarking on their daily search for food and water. Israel knows this and yet deliberately timed this attack as if to maximise the number of victims.

The makeshift tents, made from plastic and nylon, were attacked by three F16 airstrikes, 10 drone strikes, and followed by live ammunition fired from quadcopters. The magnitude of this massacre is so massive that many families were actually killed by being buried by mountains of sand as a result of the explosions, which you can see in this footage of the early moments of the attack. A woman testified to one of the correspondents that she had her 2 month old baby in her arm but he flew out of her arms due to the huge impact of the explosions and that she was still looking for him.

Mawasi is one of the most densely populated areas in Gaza with over one million people crammed in it. Israel's weaponry, including the drones and quadcopters that were used in this massacre, have the ability to detect who is in the area. We have seen this pattern repeatedly for the past 9 months, so make no mistake that this is an annihilation campaign against Palestinians done literally in broad daylight.
