OCS in cookie run’s artstyle ! Had so much fun drawing this

[myrablurple]

My half of an art trade with @warpolomewdarkmatter! I hope you like it and I can’t wait what you have planned!

Earthbound Battle 02 - Mani!

Another EB battle sprite! Mani felt like an obvious next choice, since her design and name were already inspired by the Moonside segment. Unlike Jupiter, she's raring for battle; her lightmatter claws are freshly sharpened and she's gonna rip ya to shreds!!

Into, Across and Beyond!: Quill Society Logs (First Findings)

(All recorded by Errorverse Sonic.)

Log 5: Recruitment Requirements

"Log 5; recruitment requirements. It's been a couple of months, and the Quill Society's foundation has started well after both the most recent issue my dimension faced and the failed scheme by Eggman Prime to destroy the original Sonic, with a lot of side villains from other universes helping him, including a brainwashed Sara from Dimension OVA-1996.

The recruit applications had been starting to climb since I brought OMT!Mina in. Considering what her Ash tried to do to her back there... I knew I couldn't just leave her to either die or be thrown into prison for the rest of her existence for something she didn't cause. I also bore witness to Eggman Nega's multidimensional energiser trying to muck things up around us. I'm glad OMT!Tails and those who came to his world managed to stop it, though.

Now, as for the point of this log. I've seen the ways the Spider-Society and the Funkin' Society have operated, and it's something I really want to avoid as a bid to make the Quill Society more of a welcoming side-job for heroes from across dimensions. So, here's some major rules I had pinpointed:

No canon event nonsense is to be utilised within the Society. Our motto is doing the right thing, not just abiding by fate by leaving loved ones to perish.

As long as a potential recruit has any ties to a SEGA property or has ownership under SEGA, like how Avalice used to be around a Sonic fan game, they're open for recruit material with no questions asked. I might consider seeing if some of the -friends through the Funkinverse might suit a role here, depending on their ties.

Abuse is an issue I take really seriously here, so therapy is always available for any victims of abuse in their worlds, but inflicting abuse on other Society members is strictly forbidden. And honestly? Anyone utilising rape shamelessly are those I see as deserving of "Damnatio Memoriae", a fate worse than death.

Unless stated otherwise, I will not stand for any Society member or villain from other worlds as "anomalies". It... makes me feel like any nice person called that is cited as undeserving of basic human rights or sympathy.

A hero in the Society has especially gotta be willing to do the right thing if they're open to doing missions out on the field in other dimensions. That's our whole motto, after all, since helping others is always the right thing to do, even if it causes trouble later down the line.

I'll get a rule board set up while the other facilities like the café are under construction, and I'll hopefully document more findings as I go along. End log."

Log 9: Lightmatter and the Shadow Anomalies

"Log 9: Lightmatter and the "shadow anomalies". I've discovered a recurring event in a few Earths, around the Cave Johnson era of Aperture Science before GLaDOS, or the "Genetic Lifeform and Disc Operating System", took over. There was another company existing at the same time while the AI prototype was in construction, not counting Black Mesa, of course. I'm talking about "Lightmatter Technologies".

The company was headed by two men named Virgil and Arthur, who had scaled a mountain to discover photon crystals, though along the way, something ended up costing Virgil one of his legs, but his pride remained steadfast for finding the first photon crystal. Experiments went on with technology like photon connectors and photon power cells, the latter of which was a replacement for copper wiring in one block of the mountain facility, until...

...they managed to complete a central part of the base, known as the "CORE", a collection of massive photon crystals. The company got its name when the photon crystals produced a beam so solid, it literally looked like light had become matter! The general idea was to provide infinitely renewable, clean and sustainable energy to the whole world, and the whole thing genuinely does seem like an awesome concept! At least, on paper.

But underlying problems started happening, when side-effects of the crystals' tapped-into energy started causing minor cellular degradation, such as hair loss. Virgil immediately thought that the matter could be solved by installing mineral decontaminators in the facility, though sicknesses were still high and the facility got practically locked down where Virgil and Arthur had been in... disagreements, meaning no employee could leave.

Shortly after, Arthur had seemingly started poisoning employees and using it as further proof to Lightmatter's board of directors that the energy source was causing these side-effects. Virgil wasn't happy, to say the least, and while he was investigating the matter, he learned from one of his employees, who is named "Ellen" from the tape recordings I've taken from one of the Earths, that Arthur had plans to overload the CORE and destroy the facility. Arthur was quickly chucked out by Virgil and his security manager, James, for his actions.

However, just weeks later, the problems were getting worse. Employees were having intense headaches that only subsided when in presence of light, and the decontaminators were not doing their job, since they were still losing hair and fingernails. Ellen took it upon herself to sneak into Arthur's office and do some investigating as to what he was doing, and what she discovered changed everything.

Arthur had built a prototype of his intended experiment on the CORE, and discovered that the CORE was producing a deep-black, obsidian-like tar that only shows up in complete darkness and causes rapid cellular degradation! We've since referred to these as "shadow anomalies", despite actual shadows not being as harmful. And though Arthur knew, he was clearly willing to risk killing billions of lives just to bring Lightmatter into fruition!

Now, onto that theory. Since the CORE cannot be truly shut down and is completely self-sustaining, another solution was found with the prototype. Overcharging the crystals with multiple mother sources would outright destroy them, and within a radius of the smaller CORE, the shadow anomalies were neutralised and all cellular degradation there came to a stop. He managed to find a solution to the problem!

Fortunately, by some unknown people, any Lightmatter mountains between Earths have been wiped out, with the shadow anomalies all neutralised, even if Ellen couldn't do the deed herself. But... I dread to think what would happen in Earths where the anomalies could leave the mountain unimpeded and wipe out humanity for Virgil to rebuild in his image.

So, if any Earths I can record have a Lightmatter Technologies and there is nobody to stop the CORE, I'll send out agile two-man teams to overload them and wipe them out before the shadow anomalies can wipe out an Earth's civilisation. Ellen, wherever you are now, we owe you big time for uncovering all this information, and you have my gratitude for keeping these tapes intact for us to learn about it. End log."

Superliminal, Lightmatter and Viewfinder are in a polycule

[peterbordes]

Lightmatter raises $155M at 1.2B valuation to accelerate growth and expand photonic chip deployment.

The Boston-based developer of photonic chips specialized for AI made headlines again for closing an additional $155 million in new funding and revealing its new valuation of $1.2 billion — making Lightmatter a “unicorn” startup company

Light Speed AI?

After watching these 2 videos, I could see AGI ruling the world with Intelligent Machines. Not the ones from the Machine Wars, because the Quantum AI Light Speed Operating System will have control over us all.?? Don’t worry, Quantum AI will know the wrong and right answers, the question is which right answer will it use?‘We shouldn’t worry about controlling AGI. The answer that the human AI…

Dan does another solo video. Lightmatter returns now with toggles, rotating objects, all sorts of moving platforms, and you-know-who's continued self-aggrandizing monologues. Man, he really is a misunderstood visionary isn't he?

[swirlingpinkstuffinacup]

why is he looking at me like I did it?

The perfect way to wake up surprised.

If I wasn't already spending all my time on school and my other FF I would have loved to write an AltFic where Tag Team ends a bit differently.

Buzz's face just makes me laugh so much. It's the shock, man...

Not regret nor noth'in like that, but definitely a moment of "I woke up on Warp's titties...wtf now??"

Also dat hand and dat face, you know he was groping in his sleep.

^v^; I drew this on my phone with a fricking finger.

Dark matter - ( in simple terms ) a material that cannot be observed directly, known to exist because of the effect it has on objects that we can see. Dark matter is composed of particles that do not absorb, reflect, or emit light.

even when i can't see you i can still feel you pull me closer

it might not be my otp, but i gotta admit it's got potential. and it's pride month too, preeetty fitting ain't it ?

yes of course theres a full version.

Mani, the Lightmatter Moontail!

Hailing from the neon-colored Eperopolis of Shattered Glass in Universoid [Ne]1466, Mani is a simulacrum of a species from another universe, comprised of various hard light substances. Her creators, the enigmatic Signposters, were fixated on the creation of artificial life. While she may be deemed a success, she was still regarded as a prototypical specimen as certain aspects of her physiology and psychology were not near enough to the Signposters' goals.

Mani is a friend of Hathor, who often brings her to the universes she visits so both can fulfill their desire for wanderlust together. The presence of rudimentary additional eyes on Mani compared to Hathor's true eyestalks is an interesting coincidence as well...

I wrote a prequel to the LightMatt fic I wrote yesterday, Still not my best work but I wanted to write something wholesome for one of my favorite ships. This is also another addition to DNRarepairWeek25 @dnrarepairweek
