it's so sweet how Sierra asks to be part of the Whittaker family. She's tentative about it, which shows how much it means to her. Which is why she asks it. Something she normally wouldn't do, ever. How starved she is for family. And how close she feels to the Whittakers, to even think like this, because she doesn't get close to anyone. But she formed a bond with Jason during their 1st mission together, and a bond with Whit looking for his grandson. Shows how welcoming they are, to make a girl who didn't have ties with anyone, didn't feel the need, wanted independence after her 1st adoptive family, and her unthinkably traumatic childhood, trust enough to want close ties.

when i was in elementary school i performed in a community theatre production that flew in emily skinner for the female lead for ticket sales? idk the point is i stood next to her for several numbers
emily skinner was in the prince of broadway japan cast with ramin karimloo and reon yuzuki
ramin karimloo did a concert with sierra boggess, lea salonga, yu shirota by six degrees of separation rules i'm therefore two degrees from chie and ramin, three degrees from sierra lea and yu, and four degrees from everyone involved in the marinamoon stage and most of chie-era star troupe
anyway

Yu-Gi-Oh nail art on me, by Sierra Murphy at Finger Bang PDX. All hand-painted, no decals.
You have not truly lived until you have watched someone angrily declare "I hate this, I hate my life" while painting the Millennium Puzzle onto your fingernail with a paintbrush that looks like an eyelash. (Note that painting these designs was HER idea.)

🧜♀️Unique Mermaid Names🧜♀️
I’ve already made it before… but previously, the names may be a little bit too cliche.
So here are some unique ones (or maybe funny ones) I’ve made and/or found:
Coralisa (from ‘coral’ and Lisa)
Reefera / Reevera (from ‘reef’ and Vera)
Marinet / Marinette (from ‘marine’ and ‘net’ but make it French)
Sierra (from ‘siren’)
Mei-Yu (from the Chinese word, ‘mei’ 美which means ‘beautiful’ and ‘yu’ 魚 which means ‘fish’)
Ayn’at (based on Avatar: Way of Water)
Kara (from the Indonesian word, ‘karang’ which means ‘coral’)
Atlantia (from ‘Atlantis’)
Scarla (from ‘scales’ and Carla)
Umiko (from the Japanese word ‘umi’ 海 which means ‘sea’ and ‘ko’ 子 which means ‘child’)
Seele (meaning, ‘soul’)
Kaila (from the Japanese word ‘kai’ 貝 which means, ‘seashell’ and the name, Laila)
Clementine (it puns with the ‘clam’ so it’s funny)

🪢 KH-OC Week 2024 🪢 - Day 2 Package
Prompt: Design keyblades for Natasha and Erika.
In Day 1, you were introduced to two new teddies:
Miss Natasha Avalenka
Miss Erika Tapalados
Who are special guests for KH-OC Week 2024 under Dinh-Yu.
Here are their keyblades if they were to traverse / reside in the Kingdom Hearts realm.
Natasha: Aura of Enigma
The ? graphics are inspired by how Sora or any other KH player gets confused by an enemy. When she swings, ?s will come off the keyblade. The N in the background does not stand for Neo-Cortex, it stands for Natasha, though she seems to adopt a similar if not identical style/taste, in terms of science slash robotics/mechanics, or even archaeology. Hence some nicely shaped bones for the outer handle, with an 'Alice In Wonderland'/'Dr. Seuss' bush over the top. I believe in Kingdom Hearts, she'd fit in to being a researcher or may teeter on the edge of darkness at times.
The main reason Natasha gets this keyblade is because despite me being her creator (obviously), I don't even know the true facets of her personality. Like she is so hard to flesh out, hence she's an 'Enigma' waiting to be discovered, if anyone can work it out. That's what the E at the end of the keyblade stands for... Unless she had dealings with Ephemer or Eraqus that I know nothing about...?
---
Erika: Flower Garden
Erika would be teaming up with the guardians of light, and may even get involved in the company/surroundings of her sister. Erika would get Riku to 'like' her / get used to her quicker than both Selvian and Sierra combined. Consuls (ESFJs) have a knack for that.
With Erika's design, she just screams flowers and pretty petals, and other pretty things as well. In a sense she's like Kairi, but only in tastes. She's not as rambunctious as Kairi. Just for comparison, think of Erika as a Princess Peach type; only not getting kidnapped.
I think of Erika as a 'delicate flower', whereas Kairi is a 'Wild Flower'.
Kairi likes a sharp pink, Erika likes pastel pink and pastel green as a secondary.
---
As Day 2 here is on the topic of more/additional keyblades:
As I was setting up some things for this event, I was psychically gifted a keyblade for my inventory by Dinh-Yu and his crowd!
---
Day 2 edit: Dinh-Yu subsequently caught me out for not putting keychains on the back of the handles. I always forget those 🥲
'Aura of Enigma' would have a bright red N OR a ? of some sort.
Not sure about Erika's.
'Warioware Inc.' would have a garlic OR a mini console thing like what they use in Game&Wario.
---
Subsequent Day 2 edit: Am doing the week mostly blind due to Dinh-Yu's challenge, advice and instructions, but when scrolling through ppl's work, I saw a prompt.
I realise I have hilariously coincidentally addressed Natasha's ABSENCE OF past or at least knowledge of it 😁
So here's something else about the past. Where does Selvian come from? IRL, I have had what happened to be my favourite coloured trddy bear for a few years, until it was no longer useable for some reason. The ears were blue, but the fur was rainbow. Since the base colour was green, that's the digital skin colour because I'd spend forever with rainbow. Selvian is the unaltered version of how the teddy looks like IRL, without clothes obvs, and also therefore consequentially bald. The rest are altered to give them hair and different personalities.
The bear may have been tossed in the trash, but the spirit lived on, for that many years, and has transformed into an interdimensional entity/carryable character in the name of Selvian who appears to be the leader of everything but has a specific bridge to Kingdom Hearts. And oop! I was also calling him Selviana as a child, hence I've now taken the last A off.
---
Sierra and Erika being sisters is a fairly new concept after Erika was rolled in for Dinh-Yu. May try to address tidbits of the sisters (or just Sierra because she's KH) in future days IF I can flesh them out more. These teddies sometimes start their jobs before we even get to know them 😅
Sierra was always intended to have a sister, we just didn't know who it was.

Sierra also writes anime fanfiction. It was such a big part of her life it makes sense. She found an outlet in writing, and the things beyond her experience she had to write about were her shows.
I'm thinking she also used it to process her trauma, so sometimes she wrote rather dark and twisted things.
#Also manga but at 1sr she couldn't read so she watched#Sierra Yu#Oc#Anime#Fanfiction#I could write her fanfic!#I would have to watch the shows 1st#I wonder if Mai does#I think she used it as refuge too thru the upheaval in her life#But from the 2010s not 90s#One consistent thing#Her dad let the TV babysit her#After his despair when his wife left him and they moved to the Philippines#Now... she will need help#Sierra bond w her..#Everyone is getting closer thru this

Record gamma rays detected at Milky Way's core
At the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory, 13,000 feet above sea level on the Sierra Negra volcano of Mexico, researchers are getting a look into a violent mystery in the Milky Way galaxy. An international research team co-led by Los Alamos National Laboratory observed ultrahigh-energy gamma rays at more than 100 teraelectron volts, tracking their origin to the galactic center for the first time.
"These results are a glimpse at the center of the Milky Way to an order of magnitude higher energies than ever seen before," said Pat Harding, physicist at Los Alamos and the Department of Energy's principal investigator for the project.
"The research for the first time confirms a PeVatron source of ultrahigh-energy gamma rays at a location in the Milky Way known as the Galactic Center Ridge, meaning the galactic center is home to some of the most extreme physical processes in the universe."
The HAWC observatory has been gathering data for more than seven years. In so doing, the researchers have observed nearly 100 gamma-ray events with energy more than 100 teraelectron volts.
As described in an analysis led by Sohyoun Yu Cárcaron published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, that data allows the cosmic ray interactions with the PeVatron to be directly studied and compared with other observations, helping pin down the emission processes and location—right in the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
The most violent processes in the universe
The actual PeVatron itself remains a not-well-understood phenomenon, but the fact of its existence in whatever form it takes points to the violent regime in the galactic center. That region of the Milky Way galaxy is known to include a supermassive black hole surrounded by neutron stars and white dwarfs that strip material from nearby stars.
The area is shrouded with dense gas clouds that reach temperatures of millions of degrees and tend to prevent much direct optical observation of the region.
The observation of gamma rays thus proves critical for illuminating the cosmic processes at work in that extreme environment. Ultrahigh-energy gamma rays originate with the presence of a PeVatron source, which accelerates particles to a million billion electron volts (PeV) in energy, a quadrillion times more powerful than the light particles coming out of a light bulb.
The cosmic-ray protons generated by the PeVatron travel at more than 99% the speed of light, interacting with dense ambient gas and resulting in ultrahigh-energy gamma rays.
The exact nature of the PeVatrons remains a mystery, however. The energies involved point to some of the most violent processes conceivable in the universe: a star's death in a supernova, the shocks and radiation that accompany the fusion-rich birth of a star, a black hole swallowing up another black hole.
"A lot of those processes are so rare you wouldn't expect them to be happening in our galaxy, or they occur on scales that don't correlate with the size of our galaxy," Harding said. For instance, a black hole eating another black hole would be an event only expected outside our galaxy."
Cherenkov light in particle detection
HAWC is a unique experiment designed to capture the relatively few ultrahigh-energy gamma rays that can travel interstellar distances and reach Earth. On the slopes of the Sierra Negra volcano, 300 grain silos are filled with water, the bottom of each silo lined with photomultiplier detectors.
When the ultrahigh-energy particles reach Earth's atmosphere, they break up into extensive air showers of lower-energy particles. As the charged particles pass through the tanks at a speed outpacing the water's phase velocity, they produce Cherenkov light, or Cherenkov radiation, a blue glow—an effect somewhat similar to the auditory sonic boom.
The researchers then analyzed the time distribution of the particles detected across tanks to understand the energy regimes at play, deducing the origins of the particles as ultrahigh-energy gamma rays.
Locating the specific PeVatron site
The HAWC observatory experiment has built on the groundbreaking Milagro experiment, a gamma-ray observatory with a 5-million-gallon water pond and 700 light detectors in the Jemez Mountains outside Los Alamos. Milagro took data through 2008, and then researchers moved south to the HAWC observatory to be able to capture particles closer to the galactic center.
The research team plans to extend its HAWC observatory findings and narrow down the specific site of the PeVatron source with a new experiment, the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory, a facility being built in the Atacama Desert in Chile. With that wider window into the center of the Milky Way, science may have a closer view of the mystery at the heart of our home galaxy.
