MCYT Passover 2025!!!

Hey hi hello! Pesakh is coming up on us much faster than I realized, so here's the prompts list for MCYT Passover 2025, which will take place broadly during the month of April!

You can take as much time as you need on working on these, and there's no signup requirements or anything like that! Just post works under the tag "mcyt passover 2025" during the month of April and make cool MCYT fanworks incorporating pesakh!!! Below the cut are what I hope are helpful but brief descriptions of some of these prompts, for anyone unfamiliar or rusty on their Passover knowledge. If you have any further questions, shoot us an ask or join the Discord!

And here is the 2025 AO3 collection!

Four Children:

The Four Children is a part of the Passover seder dedicated, along with much of the rest of the seder, to passing down the stories and traditions of Passover to later generations. Each child asks a question, formed from passages from the Torah, that help illuminate this responsibility of continuing traditions.

The Wise Child

The Wicked Child

The Simple Child

The Child Who Does Not Know How To Ask

Ten Plagues:

Blood [The Nile turns to blood]

Frogs [Frogs come from the Nile and infest Egypt]

Lice/gnats

Wild animals/flies [Attacking humans and livestock]

Plague upon livestock

Festering boils

Hailstorm

Locusts

Darkness

Death of the firstborn

Seder plate:

Maror [Bitter herbs, typically horseradish]

Chazeret [Typically romaine lettuce or another bitter green]

Charoset [Sweet fruit and nut paste]

Karpas [Another green, usually not bitter, dipped in salt water to represent tears (Ashkenazi custom)]

Zeroa [Roasted lamb bone, to represent the Pesakh sacrifice]

Beitzah [Roasted egg]

Matzo [Three matzot are stacked, with the middle being broken to become the afikomen, the top to become hamotzi, and the bottom to become a Hillel sandwich]

Additional options:

Orange [To represent inclusion of queer Jews and all marginalized within the Jewish community]

Olive [To represent solidarity with Palestinians]

Exodus:

The book of the Torah that describes the Israelites' bondage in Egypt and their Exodus.

Angel of Death:

G-d warned the Israelites to mark their doors with blood so that the Angel of Death would "pass over" their homes and wouldn't kill their firstborns, only those of the Egyptians.

Ma Nishtana:

Ma Nishtana, or the Four Questions, is part of the seder where the youngest child who is able to asks the four questions listed in the Haggadah from Jewish tradition, beginning with the overarching question asked throughout the night: "Why is this night different from all other nights?"

Bedikat chametz:

Bedikat chametz is the pre-Passover search for any chametz (foods prohibited during Passover), traditionally involving a candle, a feather, and a wooden spoon. Afterwards the found chametz are typically burned.

Afikomen:

Afikomen is a piece of matzah hidden during the Seder for people to find and eat as the last piece of the seder; often as a fun activity for children.

Narrow places:

This one, along with history, is a little more conceptual, but there's a lot of discussions, particularly in modern Judaism, about what it means to escape from narrow places, to get out of the worst circumstances. This is part of a long tradition of finding way to connect to the story of Exodus, and today many queer Jews find it significant to compare their experiences getting out of homophobic, heteronormative circumstances to those of the Israelites escaping Egypt.

WELCOME TO HERMIT-A-DAY MAY 2025!

Another year, another Hermit-a-Day May! I'm so thrilled to be able to bring this event to you all for the third year in a row.

THE RULES: 1. Any type of fanwork is welcome so long as it features, or is otherwise inspired by, the Hermit of the day. 2. Tag #hermitaday to have your fanwork reblogged, or submit it directly to the blog (Please note that while we recognize the value of fanworks involving more mature themes, and they can certainly count toward challenge completion if you're keeping track for yourself, content on this blog will be kept "PG-13" so that all may enjoy.). 3. Fanworks for one Hermit posted after the day rolls over to another Hermit's day (per the US Central time zone) will be reblogged in one big queue in June. 4. Traced or stolen work is NOT welcome. If we discover you have posted traced or stolen work, you will be given one chance to delete it and apologize, or you will be blacklisted from the blog. AI-generated/assisted pieces are similarly unwelcome and will not be featured on the blog. 5. We are not interested in seeing captions or tags in which you disparage your art/skills, and will not be reblogging posts where this happens. We're all improving all the time. Be kind to yourselves. 6. Technically not a rule, but we strongly recommend adding alt text or description to all images. Click here to learn more about writing alt text - it's pretty easy!

WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE? To show love to every Hermit, from the most to least subscribed, from those who have been on the server from day one to those who only joined this season! And because challenges are fun! And because we are once again out here for a good cause: we're running another fundraiser for Gamers Outreach, featuring art incentives by nine amazing artists. Learn more about our incentives in these posts:

INDIVIDUAL REWARD POST

RAFFLE POST

WHO’S RUNNING THIS? Hi! My name is Luna! You can use ze/hir, she/her, he/him, or ro/ros/roseself pronouns for me. My main blog is @as-if-unreal. Helping me out this year is the incredible Mod Sky ( @skyspersonalhell ), who uses any pronouns!

BONUS DAY PROMPTS EXPLAINED UNDER THE CUT

FAVORITE "ALT" HERMIT - May 4th HoTGuY and Poultry-Man. Helsknight and Evil Xisuma. Renbob and - look, you get the idea. This server is full of theater kids ready to toss on an alternate skin and play into a brand new character at the drop of a hat. Who's your favorite?

OUTFIT SWAP - May 9th What would Doc look like in Cleo's Life Series leotard? How would Cub fare in Wels's armor? What laundry day mishap could lead Mumbo's suit to lose its sleeves like Skizz's? Only hilarity can come from this...

GROUPS AND COLLABS - May 14th This month is all about one Hermit a day... but what we really love is when they interact with each other. What does your favorite duo or group of Hermits get up to together?

FAVORITE BUILD - May 18th The Hermits have put thousands of hours into their builds, from cozy starter bases to the sprawling halls of Deepfrost Citadel, from idyllic natural landscapes to machines the size of mountains. Which builds have inspired you?

TFC - May 23rd While he may no longer be with us physically, TFC left behind him a legacy of quiet care and good humor, and Hermitcraft would not have been the same without him.

FRIENDS OF HERMITCRAFT - May 28th There are plenty of shows, podcasts, competitions, other servers, and more woven into the internet ecosystem around Hermitcraft, and plenty more people involved in them. Today is for celebrating all of those who, while they may not be Hermits themselves, exist and entertain in proximity to them.

THE LUMEN NEWSLETTER!!!! MARCH 2025 EDITION!!!!

Something we've been working on to keep you all updated in a way that was extremely fun for us. This will be a monthly thing! Enjoy our shenanigans!

Pie's favourite articles you all have to read: "The Questionable Pie 'Multiverse'" by Kori, North's Interview by North, and the public comment section! (Future editions of the newsletter will hopefully have Real Public Comments instead of made up ones! If you want to say anything at all, whether related to the project or the life series or anything at all, send us an ask that clearly states it's a comment and we'll put it in the next months' edition!).

Thanks to Pie for organizing this, Teri for helping out, and everyone who contributed with articles and interviews and everything inbetween. And thanks especially to Charly dearest, who singlehandedly (pretty much) carried the visuals with all their awesome art <3 Also props to Charly and North for the beautiful comic at the end!

❤️💛💚Traffic Lifers!!!❤️💛💚

just a quick thing I want to say outside of the traffic life community too:

HI!

Im working on a life series related project and want to gauge interest and availability for possible assistance in the next like… year or so?

this is not an application, just a post to get an idea about how many people are even available/interested.

literally anything is helpful. Drawing, clip collecting, making sure characters sound in character, making Minecraft builds, 3d rendering, story points, anything. Even just letting me bounce ideas off of you is helpful. Again, not an application or solid commitment yet, just curious :)))

Some designs and spoilers ;)
