A Lot On The Mind...

help! what's a DSCP and what does it have to do with 17776?

So you've stumbled into the DSCP tag and you think. What on earth is this madness. Is it an actual fandom? Why is this in the tag?

*Spin around and whips off my shades* Hi. I am Mimi! I'm the irl RP mod of DSCP the roleplay, and I play Riley, one of the in-character mods of DSCP the space program!

DSCP stands for Deep Space Communications program, it's the shorthand for us to keep track of a 17776/20020 inspired roleplay in a 17776 discord server.

The RP is set in the 17776 universe, all laws from the original web series applies (sentient space probes, immortal humans, etc.)

In universe, DSCP is a NASA program for humans to keep in touch with sentient spacecraft. It’s a chatroom styled RP takes place in a discord channel. You can learn more about the history of this fake space program in this blog’s about page.

It’s considered a “stream” because it is “broadcasted” to the public, like how the 17776 trio’s conversations are in canon! DSCP could be considered a “space probe discord server with like, one channel“ to Juice/10/9’s “space probe group chat”.

At one point, we decided to fuck around with the idea of fake “fandom blogs”, who reacts to the DSCP chat when it’s live and enjoy it like ye average mainstream media. The DSCP fake fandom is an ironic exploration of a typical tumblr fandom, complete with fanart, discourses and parasocial relationships with the stream's casts. These are all make believes! The muns are all very nice irl.

There’re only a few people who actively plays around in the fake fandom space, but they have multiple blogs so it might give the illusion of it being “a huge fandom”. It’s not! All of the fake fandom blogs’ posts are tagged with #unreality, or it will be written in their bios, to differentiate from average RPer who are just posting about their OCs.

The tags we use are #dscp, #dscpcast and #dscp probecast.

Finally, if you’ve read this far into the explanation of our nonsense and still feel like you want a hand in this, DM me! I’ll give you an invite link to the server. The rest of the server is still a 17776/20020 fan space, so you can feel free to hang out if you aren’t interested in the RP.

See the Universe in a New Way with the Webb Space Telescope's First Images

Are you ready to see unprecedented, detailed views of the universe from the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest and most powerful space observatory ever made? Scroll down to see the first full-color images and data from Webb. Unfold the universe with us. ✨

Carina Nebula

This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars, called the Cosmic Cliffs, is the edge of the star-birthing Carina Nebula. Usually, the early phases of star formation are difficult to capture, but Webb can peer through cosmic dust—thanks to its extreme sensitivity, spatial resolution, and imaging capability. Protostellar jets clearly shoot out from some of these young stars in this new image.

Southern Ring Nebula

The Southern Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula: it’s an expanding cloud of gas and dust surrounding a dying star. In this new image, the nebula’s second, dimmer star is brought into full view, as well as the gas and dust it’s throwing out around it. (The brighter star is in its own stage of stellar evolution and will probably eject its own planetary nebula in the future.) These kinds of details will help us better understand how stars evolve and transform their environments. Finally, you might notice points of light in the background. Those aren’t stars—they’re distant galaxies.

Stephan’s Quintet

Stephan’s Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies near each other, was discovered in 1877 and is best known for being prominently featured in the holiday classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” This new image brings the galaxy group from the silver screen to your screen in an enormous mosaic that is Webb’s largest image to date. The mosaic covers about one-fifth of the Moon’s diameter; it contains over 150 million pixels and is constructed from almost 1,000 separate image files. Never-before-seen details are on display: sparkling clusters of millions of young stars, fresh star births, sweeping tails of gas, dust and stars, and huge shock waves paint a dramatic picture of galactic interactions.

WASP-96 b

WASP-96 b is a giant, mostly gas planet outside our solar system, discovered in 2014. Webb’s Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) measured light from the WASP-96 system as the planet moved across the star. The light curve confirmed previous observations, but the transmission spectrum revealed new properties of the planet: an unambiguous signature of water, indications of haze, and evidence of clouds in the atmosphere. This discovery marks a giant leap forward in the quest to find potentially habitable planets beyond Earth.

Webb's First Deep Field

This image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, known as Webb’s First Deep Field, looks 4.6 billion years into the past. Looking at infrared wavelengths beyond Hubble’s deepest fields, Webb’s sharp near-infrared view reveals thousands of galaxies—including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared—in the most detailed view of the early universe to date. We can now see tiny, faint structures we’ve never seen before, like star clusters and diffuse features and soon, we’ll begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions.

These images and data are just the beginning of what the observatory will find. It will study every phase in the history of our Universe, ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang, to the formation of solar systems capable of supporting life on planets like Earth, to the evolution of our own Solar System.

Hello! May I have your permission to use your wonderful human!JUICE design in a "what 17776/20020 character are you" quiz question?

Of course! Do as you please, all my art is free to use by anyone and everyone!

I don't even remember what the context for this one was.

Rocky Planets

Wahhh! More oldies...

awwright gamers. It’s crossover time

So, not chipspeech actually but I wanted to show followers my little computer guys. I love personifying old mainframes and I have like 200 I want to do I just never get around to it.
