#camilo x catalina

[inthishousewestanspiderpunk]

Hey y'all! So here I am with the first Encanto story since last summer I believe? I've had a lot going on and nothing at the same time, it's been weird to say the least! I've been to Australia, come back, looked for work, met my girlfriend, there's been a lot!

Now, before I bid you adieu, I want you to know that Elena doesn't belong to me. I wish she did, but she doesn't, she belongs to @prophetic-hijinks and is the wife of Bruno and mama to Pedro and Catalina and eventually Ramiro! She's a singer from the city and I love her so so much, so I couldn't not do something about it! The song she sings at the end is a Spanish version of 'Dream A Little Dream Of Me' however, it may not be accurate, I got the lyrics from YouTube and had to faff around to get them un caps locked, but I got there in the end!

Hope you all enjoy it and check out the hijinksverse if you haven't already! It includes pissed off bouncers, Bruno being chased by Antonio's friends and Casita being more than a little sassy! Stay safe and take care!

Elena and Bruno groaned as their sleep was interrupted by the shrill cries of...Catalina? Wait, no. Pedro. Yup, definitely Pedro.

"I got it," Elena mumbled as she sat up, stretching her arms above her head and groaning at the stiffness. She blinked sleepily and groaned again, with her husband putting his hand on her shoulder in solidarity. One thing he had learned quickly on was to never get in between Elena and sleep. Approach the sleeping siren as you would a sleeping capybara; very carefully with snacks at arms length or not at all.

Bruno shook his head and was already out of bed. "It's okay mi amor, you stay there, I'll see what's wrong, si?"

Before she could protest, there Bruno was, ever the diligent husband and papa, making his way over to the nursery corner that casita had created for the twins. In comparison to the main area of the bedroom, it was very similar, shelves and cupboards seemingly carved out of the rocks and it being cordoned off by a never ending cascade of sand, but that was where the similarities ended. Casita opened the sand curtain for Bruno and his face softened as he saw that yes, it was indeed Pedro who was crying for attention. This made a change as usually it was Catalina who would wake them up with her shrill cries.

Smiling softly, Bruno leaned over the crib, picking his son up. The movement and noise coming from her brother made Catalina stir and cry out as she gradually woke up. Bruno sighed a little and smiled tiredly at his daughter. "Ay, you too? Alright then mi flor, all aboard the papi express." With an over exaggerated grunt, Bruno picked her up as well, making sure both babies were comfortable. He kissed her black whisps of hair and pretended to nibble on them as a late night snack. Whilst Catalina inherited his hair colour, it was Pedro who had gained the telltale Madrigal curls and with his brown hair, he reminded Bruno of when Camilo was his age. He told this to Elena one night and she could see his point, but she thought it was more akin to a birds nest. "Fitting considering you're my woodpecker," she giggled, kissing her husband on the nose. Her woodpecker, his songbird. He would never tire of that for as long as he breathed.

As soon as he was picked up and held against his papa, Pedro turned his head and made tiny grabs at the hairs on his chest; oh yeah, he was hungry alright. As for Catalina, she too was trying to latch onto Bruno without success. Tandem feeding it was, then. It seemed that, for the babies, anything that resembled a breast or nipple equaled food. Not technically wrong, but not technically right either as proved by Catalina last week when she took a shine to Mariano only to be bitterly disappointed when nothing happened. In her disgust, she not only cried so much she vomited over her prima's novio, but quelled said prima's current desire of having the five babies she lied about Mariano wanting two years previous.

Bruno glanced at the clock on a nearby stone shelf and saw it was a little past two in the morning. This was going to be a long night. "Alright mi bebés, shall we see about getting sorted? Yeah, you'd like that, I know you would." Walking back to the bed where Elena was, Bruno continued to talk to the infants, explaining in great detail about his newest telenovela that he was working on. "...and well, he's in the hospital with amnesia, so he can't exactly do a whole lot." His wife let out a soft laugh and shook her head. "Is papa telling you one of his stories, mis pollitos?" she asked as the first hungry baby was passed over and adjusted in her arms. Bruno shrugged awkwardly and gave his wife their daughter. "Well, I wouldn't call it a story, more plot devices for the next telenovela."

"Mmhmm."

She smirked knowingly and raises a single eyebrow. It was totally one of his stories.

Just as Elena was about to comment when there was a whimper of annoyance from Pedro as both of her babies fought for space, kicking each other with tiny cries and trying to get the best spot. "Now, now, there's more than enough to go round," Elena muttered, starting a little as Catalina latched on, followed by Pedro a few moments later. As soon as she felt the gentle tugging sensation from both sides, she relaxes and leans back into the bed cushions. "There you go, is that nice? It's mama's secret recipe, all for you and Catalina."

Her children, her twins, her babies; so little yet so full of life and personality already! Catalina with her fighting spirit, never one to back down, always had to have the last word, but oh, so fearless and so loving. Bruno commented on how she was clearly a resistance fighter in a former life and Elena found herself agreeing. As for Pedro, he was a sensitive soul with hazel eyes that seemed to bore into you and was fiercely protective of what he loved. Given that he was only three months old, this was his comfort ruana and a toy rat that Mirabel had sewn for her new cousin.

Both parents watch in a silent rapture, the only noise breaking the illusion were the grunts and mewls of the babies, along with their rhythmic suckling. Without even thinking about it, Elena begins to sing. An older song, one she sung countless times that had resulted in many a patron being left under her spell when she was on the billing. A song that she had sung to her children both in and out of utero and calmed them down right away. Bruno instantly recognises it; the song she was serenading the crowd with when he first laid eyes on her three years before.

"La luna allá en el cielo,

Susurra y me trae tu “te quiero”

Y un bello sueño me hace sentir,

Que ya estás cerca de mi

Solo sueña un poquito

Suspira y envuélveme en besos

Dame la mano y yo soñaré

Que volvemos a vivir

Las luces del alba nos llaman

La noche comienza a morir

La luna se funde en el cielo

Despierto sin tí..."

CAN RIPPLES ON THE SUN HELP PREDICT SOLAR FLARES? Solar flares are violent explosions on the Sun that fling out high-energy charged particles, sometimes toward Earth, where they disrupt communications and endanger satellites and astronauts. But as scientists discovered in 1996, flares can also create seismic activity -- sunquakes -- releasing impulsive acoustic waves that penetrate deep into the Sun’s interior. While the relationship between solar flares and sunquakes is still a mystery, new findings suggest that these “acoustic transients” -- and the surface ripples they generate -- can tell us a lot about flares and may someday help us forecast their size and severity. A team of physicists from the United States, Colombia and Australia has found that part of the acoustic energy released from a flare in 2011 emanated from about 1,000 kilometers beneath the solar surface -- the photosphere -- and, thus, far beneath the solar flare that triggered the quake. The results, reported Sept. 21 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters (ApJ Letters), come from a diagnostic technique called helioseismic holography, introduced in the late 1900s by French scientist Francoise Roddier and extensively developed by U.S. scientists Charles Lindsey and Douglas Braun, now at North West Research Associates in Boulder, Colorado, and co-authors of the paper. Helioseismic holography allows scientists to analyze acoustic waves triggered by flares to probe their sources, much as seismic waves from megaquakes on Earth allow seismologists to locate their epicenters. The technique was first applied to acoustic transients released from flares by a graduate student in Romania, Alina-Catalina Donea, under the supervision of Lindsey and Braun. Donea is now at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. “It’s the first helioseismic diagnostic specifically designed to directly discriminate the depths of the sources it reconstructs, as well as their horizontal locations,” Braun said. “We can’t see the Sun’s inside directly. It is opaque to the photons that show us the Sun’s outer atmosphere, from where they can escape to reach our telescopes,” said co-author Juan Camilo Buitrago-Casas, a University of California, Berkeley, doctoral student in physics from Colombia. “The way we can know what happens inside of the Sun is via seismic waves that make ripples on the solar surface similar to those caused by earthquakes on our planet. A big explosion, such as a flare, can inject a powerful acoustic pulse into the Sun, whose subsequent signature we can use to map its source in some detail. The big message of this paper is that the source of at least some of this noise is deeply submerged. We are reporting the deepest source of acoustic waves so far known in the Sun.” How Sunquakes Produce Ripples on the Sun’s Surface The acoustic explosions that cause sunquakes in some flares radiate acoustic waves in all directions, primarily downward. As the downward-traveling waves move through regions of ever-increasing temperature, their paths are bent by refraction, ultimately heading back up to the surface, where they create ripples like those seen after throwing a pebble in a pond. The time between the explosion and the arrival of the ripples is about 20 minutes. “The ripples, then, are not just a surface phenomenon, but the surface signature of waves that have gone deep beneath the active region and then back up to the outlying surface in the succeeding hour,” Lindsey said. Analyzing the surface ripples can pinpoint the source of the explosion. “It has been widely supposed that the waves released by acoustically active flares are injected into the solar interior from above. What we are finding is the strong indication that some of the source is far beneath the photosphere,” said Juan Carlos Martínez Oliveros, a solar physics researcher at UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory and a native of Colombia. “It seems like the flares are the precursor, or trigger, of the acoustic transient released. There is something else happening inside the Sun that is generating at least some part of the seismic waves.” “Using an analogy from medicine, what we (solar physicists) were doing before is like using X-rays to look at one snapshot of the interior of the Sun. Now, we are trying to do a CAT scan, to view the solar interior in three dimensions,” added Martínez Oliveros. The Colombians, including students Ángel Martínez and Valeria Quintero Ortega at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, in Bogotá, are co-authors of the ApJ Letters paper with their supervisor, Benjamín Calvo-Mozo, associate professor of astronomy. “We have known about acoustic waves from flares for a little over 20 years now, and we have been imaging their sources horizontally since that time. But we have only recently discovered that some of those sources are submerged below the solar surface,” said Lindsey. “This may help explain a great mystery: Some of these acoustic waves have emanated from locations that are devoid of local surface disturbances that we can directly see in electromagnetic radiation. We have wondered for a long time how this can happen.” A Seismically Active Sun For more than 50 years, astronomers have known that the Sun reverberates with seismic waves, much like the Earth and its steady hum of seismic activity. This activity, which can be detected by the Doppler shift of light emanating from the surface, is understood to be driven by convective storms that form a patchwork of granules about the size of Texas, covering the Sun’s surface and continually rumbling. Amid this background noise, magnetic regions can set off violent explosions releasing waves that make the spectacular ripples that then appear on the Sun’s surface in the succeeding hour, as discovered 24 years ago by astronomers Valentina Zharkova and Alexander Kosovichev. As more sunquakes have been discovered, flare seismology has blossomed, as have the techniques to explore their mechanics and their possible relationship to the architecture of magnetic flux underlying active regions. Among the open questions: Which flares do and don’t produce sunquakes? Can sunquakes occur without a flare? Why do sunquakes emanate primarily from the edges of sunspots, or penumbrae? Do the weakest flares produce quakes? What is the lower limit? Until now, most solar flares have been studied as one-offs, since strong flares, even during times of maximum solar activity, may occur only a few times a year. The initial focus was on the largest, or X-class, flares, classified by the intensity of the soft X-rays they emit. Buitrago-Casas, who obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Universidad Nacional de Colombia, teamed up with Lindsey and Martínez Oliveros to conduct a systematic survey of relatively weak solar flares to increase their database, for a better understanding of the mechanics of sunquakes. Of the 75 flares captured between 2010 and 2015 by the RHESSI satellite -- a NASA X-ray satellite designed, built and operated by the Space Sciences Laboratory and retired in 2018 -- 18 produced sunquakes. One of Buitrago-Casas’s acoustic transients, the one released by the flare of July 30, 2011, caught the eyes of undergraduate students Martínez, now a graduate student, and Quintero Ortega. “We gave our student collaborators at the National University the list of flares from our survey. They were the first ones who said, ‘Look at this one. It’s different! What happened here?’” Buitrago-Casas said. “And so, we found out. It was super exciting!” Martínez and Quintero Ortega are the first authors on a paper describing the extreme impulsivity of the waves released by that flare of July 30, 2011, that appeared in the May 20, 2020, issue of ApJ Letters. These waves had spectral components that gave the researchers unprecedented spatial resolution of their source distributions. Thanks to superb data from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite, the team was able to pinpoint the source of the explosion that generated the seismic waves 1,000 kilometers below the photosphere. This is shallow, relative to the Sun’s radius of nearly 700,000 kilometers, but deeper than any previously known acoustic source in the Sun. A source submerged below the Sun’s photosphere with its own morphology and no conspicuous directly overlying disturbance in the outer atmosphere suggests that the mechanism that drives the acoustic transient is itself submerged. “It may work by triggering a compact explosion with its own energy source, like a remotely triggered earthquake,” Lindsey said. “The flare above shakes something beneath the surface, and then a very compact unit of submerged energy gets released as acoustic sound,” he said. “There is no doubt that the flare is involved, it’s just that the existence of this deep compact source suggests the possibility of a separate, distinctive, compact, submerged energy source driving the emission.” About half of the medium-sized solar flares that Buitrago-Casas and Martínez Oliveros have catalogued have been associated with sunquakes, showing that they commonly occur together. The team has since found other submerged sources associated with even weaker flares. The discovery of submerged acoustic sources opens the question of whether there are instances of acoustic transients being released spontaneously, with no surface disturbance, or no flare, at all. “If sunquakes can be generated spontaneously in the Sun, this might lead us to a forecasting tool, if the transient can come from magnetic flux that has yet to break the Sun’s surface,” Martínez Oliveros said. “We could then anticipate the inevitable subsequent emergence of that magnetic flux. We may even forecast some details about how large an active region is about to appear and what type -- even, possibly, what kinds of flares -- it might produce. This is a long shot, but well worth looking into.” TOP IMAGE....An X-class solar flare (X9.3) emitted on September 6, 2017, and captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory in extreme ultraviolet light.
