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.

Hey its me :DD

Sketchy Saturday 5/4/2025!

In the spirit of april fools' week shenanigans and tomfoolery (It's always been a whole week wdym its only a day?), this week's sketchy Saturday is brought to you by one of our very own writers! Now, originally this idea was to get a writer to bring us a sketch so terrible it was comedic, but instead we ended up with something better!

Presented to you by our lovely dear @maru-iru, a sketch of the Watcher Child themself! Very beautiful if I do say so myself.

Take your pick.

OMG YOU LOVE APOTHECARY DAIRIES AND MCYT BOTH :D can we be friends 👉👈

Omg yessss sure I'll follow uuu

heres my spread for the @morningstarzine !! thank you for having me ☺️☺️

So I have just learned that @fandomtrumpshate (huge charity auction where offers to make fan works are auctioned off) is allowing people to sign up offering MCYT this year and so far they don't have anyone signing up offering it! So I'm staring at this entry form...

So! If you think you can sign up and say "i can write a 1k or 10k or 5k fic for any prompt" some time before the end of the year, you have a chance to raise some money for charity (list of charities you can pick from here), (fandoms you can sign up with are here— and you an also write in niche fandoms!).

They are particularly looking for people who an write "Ambiguous endings, Aro/ace characters, Canonically trans/nonbinary characters, F/F ships, Gen or platonic works, Genderswap/genderbending, Nonwhite characters’ racial or cultural experiences, Poly ships, Racebending, Rarepairs, Reader insert, Trans/nonbinary interpretations of characters, and Unhappy endings." so you know. If any of those are you. Looking at my friend list knowingly. Why don't we see if someone will give money to charity to make us write a fic? Signups close today, on the 2nd!

I’ve been silent for too long and can no longer bear to keep this inside: @thedoomedpie is a good person and deserves many good things.
