"Funny" video i made of the masterpiece The Day The Word Broke by @saladmix bc there's no budget for ilustrations (composition and perspective are killing me help) i have more but I'll upload them later

I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Mohamad S., who is facing one of the most challenging times of his life. Mohamad is 37 years old and left his homeland in 2015 in search of a safer and better future. He’s a kind, hardworking man, and his small family has always been his greatest priority.

Living abroad, Mohamad has recently endured unimaginable loss and financial strain. Amidst the ongoing conflict in his homeland, his mother passed away, leaving behind his sister and her five young children—the last remaining members of his immediate family.

As the situation worsened, Mohamad managed to help his sister and her children escape to safety in Egypt, covering their immediate needs and securing a temporary refuge for them. Since then, he has been fully responsible for providing everything they need to survive during this transition.

In his efforts to support his family and cope with this devastating loss, Mohamad has found himself deeply in debt. To make matters even more difficult, he recently underwent knee surgery, which limits his ability to return to work for the foreseeable future. This has made it even harder for him to manage his financial responsibilities and the pressing need to provide his family with a stable future.

Mohamad is now working to bring his sister and her five children to join him in Belgium, where he hopes they can find stability and opportunity after all they’ve endured. This transition, however, requires significant resources that he is currently unable to meet alone.

For privacy reasons, we are not sharing Mohamad’s full name, as he has chosen to keep his identity discreet. While he initially refused the idea of asking for help, I couldn’t stand by and watch him struggle alone. I insisted on doing this for him because he deserves a chance to overcome these challenges. Your contribution 💪 will help Mohamad repay the debt incurred during this difficult time, cover ongoing living expenses for his family, and assist with the costs involved in bringing them safely to Belgium.

Mohamad has been a good friend of mine for years, and I’ve always admired his resilience and generosity. Any support, no matter the size, will make an incredible difference in helping Mohamad and his family rebuild their lives after these painful experiences.

Thank you for reading his story and considering helping a man who has always done everything he can for his loved ones. 🙏

my coworker be losing his mindd bru anyway guys im done because ive looked at this too many times and lowkey started to hate it. since the trailer audio from "28 years later" went crazy in the editing community a while back i used it to make my tribute to act 1 of my favorite tmnt crossover fic everrr pls go give @saladmix lots of love

so guess who just finished chapter 31

me. i finished chapter 31

so we all read about those four containment cells with the dimension z's IDENTICAL counterparts (the mutant mayhem turtles, most likely) i've seen a few comments on the chapter theorizing that our turtles, dimension z, are the clones. but i don't really think they're clones (this post will be so embarrassing if thay turns put to be the truth)

the 'phases' are what bring the other turtles (07, rise, 2012, etc) into dimension z, and i remember from an earlier chapter somebody mentioned how the 'phases' are TCRI attempting to fix their mistake. they'd tried to create a pocket dimension, or (i might be reaching) at least enter a very similar, almost identical reality.

now im going to be reaching here but, theory 1, it could be possible that right as the z turtles had left for the fast food place, the first phase had happened and that was when the mutant mayhem turtles entered dimension z. TCRI had expected to take the dimenzion z turtles (do i have any evidence to back this up? kinda.

in the steven's video logs about project blueberry, he says that it will initiated at 9:30, the EXACT time that the turtles had left for burger buster. because tcri already had sights set on the turtles, if they had their locations (as mentioned by steven), if they had arrived to detain the turtles, and the mutant mayhem counterparts are identical, well there it is

now, for a second i wanted to lead into the idea that the dimension z turtles were the secondaries. however, steven mentions 'the cue', which happened exactly a year before project blueberry was initiated. this leads me into my second theory, which is that the mutant mayhem turtles had somehow phased in exactly a year before. this would explain the containment cells- where would tcri have the resources to build these during the apocalypse?

if tcri already had the mutant mayhem turtles in their building, why would they need the 'primaries' locations?

if the mutant mayhem turtles had phased in a year before, it would have definitely given them the time to locate 4 identical turtles in their own dimension, and because the dimension z turtles are from tcri's own dimenaion, they would have been labeled the primaries.

tcri initiating project blueberry obviously went wrong. i don't have much to say on what dimension must have merged or been let into dimension z.

so, i don't think the mutant mayhem or dimension z turtles are clones of one or the other. however, i do thing it's possible that they are two very close, almost identical realities- one where there was a much larger mutagen event much longer before that caused the larger mutant population of dimension z, and one where that didnt happen at all and the only mutants are the turtles, the mutanimals, and the various mutants in mutant mayhem series tales of the tmnt and the game mutants unleashed.

the phasing bringing in the other turtles is likely tcri trying to bring the dimension z turtles closer to the mutant mayhem turtles, which is why the phases would stem out from the tcri building. obviously something must have gone wrong setting it up, or it's just because the mutant mayhem turtles don't belong to their dimension, but the phases bring in other turtles to our z turtles. it's likely that tcri thinks that bringing the two groups of turtles together could fix something.

do these theories have a MILLION plot holes? yes. how did the z turtles go missing for 4 months in what was only like 10 minutes for them? zero idea! how are the mutant mayhem turtles also not phasing in and out? no idea!

do i know what im talking about? 100% no. but this fic has me in a chokehold and i need to talk about it so..

okay hope you liked my ramble it's 6 am and ive been up since 5 this whole post will be so embarrassing if im super wrong

okay, so, i was right on my second theory! mostly. my theories were a bit fuzzy. but nonetheless, correct!

the mutant mayhem turtles phased in a year ago, before chapter 1. and this chapter filled SO many of the plot holes in my theories i couldn't figure out. dimension Z TCRI WAS watching the z turtles and discovered their location (thanks hannah! i kind of hate you, a little). baxter stockman says that their mutagen is the only thing that can save them now- EXCEPT, z TCRI already HAD the z turtles location, which can only mean one thing- they wanted them in the first place. not just them finding them in the real world because of the theory they exist in every universe- they WANTED and NEEDED the Z turtles, which is why they found their location (as mentioned by steven). otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned them as the primaries in his video logs. they were obviously important to project blueberry. why? dunno, excited to find out!

this chapter also broke my heart. as an oldest child with three younger brothers it was so painful to imagine being so close but so far from your brothers for a year and a half. their walkie talkies dying kind of broke me. i also totally understand leo. maybe i'm getting a little sappy here but, like, wow. i cried.
