Scott Smajor Fanzine interest check!

As many zines have popped up lately, I have realized a lack of Scott zines! So, I’m hoping to have the honor of hosting on myself, as someone who was introduced to MCYT thanks to Scott!

General information: You do not need Tumblr to participate in this!! Just Discord! The contributor acceptance emails (if everything goes well) won’t be out until around early June by my prediction. Because of this, don’t worry if you’re super busy now- look closer to that timeframe on your calendar! This will be a zine meant to appreciate all Scott has done for the community! No discussion about any past Twitter controversy is allowed.

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.

*taps mic* hello i am once again here to discuss the subversion of gendered tropes in the apothecary diaries when it comes to jinshi and maomaos growing romantic relationship and I'm surprised I didn't say this before bc its one of the most obvious examples but

can we talk about the way Jinshi just like... follows Maomao's lead? essentially. like not to say he doesn't take initiative or take charge of things but like.... can we talk about how he observes her (before she starts observing him too is what I'm referring to) and it's crucial to how he falls in love with her so much so that it's the one constant you see in official art; him watching her as shes inspecting plants, him literally following behind her. he learns from her not only about plants and poisons and medicine but about how to navigate the world outside of palace walls yk or how ppl outside the palace (esp women) live

and its so distinct bc usually in these historical dramas its always the WOMEN who learn from men. like its always the women who live sheltered lives and learn from men about the "real world"

jinshi is not afraid to be guided by her or learn from her, or even recognize that she may know more than him in certain situations, he values her intelligence even tho he's not only a man but a man of royal birth like literally who is doing it like him for real for real

for the suggestions; maybe a lawyer Scar, if you feel like it? peace and love
