Look at ‘em go!
s!
S for Prof. Samsa (a.k.a. Phoropter Guy or Traveller)!
He's a peculiar foreigner from a place far away who likes to smoke pipes that smell of nutmeg. Strange things tend to happen in his immediate vicinity and every time you see him he always has a different suitcase. Currently, he's writing a dissertation on human culture.
a, t or y!!
A for Alejandro Ahn Féahinne (and his bird)!
He's an aloof and mysterious bounty hunter/magician from what is essentially a fictional version of Spain in the 1800s who specialises in eliminating powerful individuals and supernatural entities, hire him if you want a job done but don't mind collateral damage!
Alejandro was found abandoned outside a church as a baby and was raised at the site's orphanage. It's likely that one of his parents was some sort of spirit since he developed an unnaturally high affinity towards magic, had the power to communicate with animals, and could survive way longer without food or water than any human (discovered that last one after getting trapped in an empty well for almost 2 weeks as a kid). Due to his harsh upbringing, he resented most people and things, decided that he was just going to beat stuff up for a living one day and subsequently became a bounty hunter, and a really good one at that! He took down previously untouchable targets and made a name for himself in mere months.
He obtained his bird companion, Tuie, after ransacking an illegal exotic goods market and now they're basically inseparable, she's scarily intelligent and knows how to pick locks and bites on command.
C or J for oc soup >:)
C for Charlie!
She originated as part of a series of throwaway designs I whipped up from Artbreeder images generated by an old friend (@uwunium on Twitter), nevertheless, she has a special place in my heart.
Charlie's your typical run-of-the-mill rebellious teen; she loves soft drinks, skating, indie music, and being an overall smug menace at school. She also happens to be one of three kids adopted by an exiled demon overlord who, after getting dethroned, was cast away to spend eternity in Detroit, Michigan. The shelves (and red hair) are hereditary and she sees from the gemstones embedded in the drawer handles, she often uses this "ability" to sneak snacks into the cinemas amongst other mundane things. She also owns a bearded dragon named Skullcrusherninethousand who she begged her demon dad to get.
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.

Ever wanted to look back in time? This week, we’re launching a kind of time machine – a telescope so powerful it will help us see back some of the first stars and galaxies made after the Big Bang.
The James Webb Space Telescope is the largest and most advanced telescope we’ve ever put in space. With revolutionary technology, it will study 13.5 billion years of cosmic history and help humanity understand our place in the stars.
Tomorrow, Dec. 25, at 7:20 a.m. ET (12:20 UTC), the Webb Telescope is set to launch from French Guiana, beginning a 29-day journey to a spot a million miles away.
Dec. 25
Live coverage starts at 6:00 a.m. ET/11:00 UTC
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Twitch
Dec. 25
Live coverage starts at 6:30 a.m. ET/11:30 UTC

Once Webb launches, the journey has only just begun. The telescope will begin a 2-week-long process of unfolding itself in space before settling in to explore the universe in ways we’ve never seen before.
Follow along on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and with #UnfoldTheUniverse.
Off to catch a date with the sun!
Speeding through at over 500 times the speed of sound, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flew through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – on December 14th, where it sampled it’s particles and magnetic fields. Going where no probe has gone before.
The Joker 🃏
Joker's appearance has been about as malleable as the storylines he comes with so I wanted to try my hand at giving my own spin to him!
What you see here is sort of a mix between goofy '60s Joker and the horse arsonist nightmare that his character eventually spiralled into, oh, and with obvious Phoenix Joker flair because banger makeup.

idk anything abt science but that headline is unnecessarily soft
