TDTWB but I’m coping…

Fic by the ultra silly @saladmix

[doturtlesdream]

@saladmix (the person who wrote the day the world broke (please read)) posted a new fic called rerouting (PLEASE READ) and personally i don’t think it has enough hype

tottmnt/mm boys facial study (working out how even to draw them bruh omllll)

[shyalia]

I literally cannot get enough of this, look at the boys singing in the car all happy and carefree!! I'm so so SO glad someone drew this moment, it's honestly one of my favourites and it brings me such joy. I was hooked within the first couple of paragraphs of this fic, but when this moment happened I WAS SOLD! The first chapter gives me such a sense of nostalgia and I can never get tired of it, I've read it countless times by now and this part never fails to make me smile. Look at their expressions and the poses, Mikey's fist-full of fries, Raph raising his milkshake, they're all singing their little hearts out and they deserve all the happiness in the world! And that forest one is so eerie and the composition is really well done!

So I come out of my cave to show new art from the day the world broke by @saladmix, MASTERPIECE EVERYONE GO READ ‼‼

I've been doing some art of my favorite fan fic of all time, but I'll show it in parts because I don't like having everything mixed up. Here comes a somewhat long text so if you want go straight to the art :]

As you may have noticed my art style is not at all consistent, I really like to try new styles and stuff, so to make more Tdtwb content I wanted to have a defined style, try to make it look like those illustrations you find in a horror book. ? With all those textures, I don't think I've made it but I'm still working on it 😓 With all this I set out to make illustrations of iconic moments from each chapter (at least iconic for me) SO HERE I BRING MY TWO FAV MOMENTS FROM CHAPTER 1, totally different from each other

First the boys singing in the car, so carefree, so happy, before all the TRAUMA, I seriously love how their personalities are already totally defined in the first scene, apart from it being them burn Leo? I love it (I had no idea how to draw a car, help)

SECOND, the first chilling moment of the fic, oh yeah, that foggy forest, silent and dark, with SOMETHING approaching and Leo THERE. I hope I managed to give the creepy vibe I wanted 🙏

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, I'm really excited to do the ones for chapter 2 hehehe

I've been working on this since before the anniversary, I feel like I'm not good at expressing myself with words (especially in a language that's not my own) but I REALLY, REALLY, LOVE AND ADORE THIS FIC, as you can see I really put time into all of this, it's seriously inspired me a lot, I learned more about illustration while drawing this than in the two years I've been drawing LOL.

I’ve been reading the day the world broke by @saladmix and it’s genuinely changed my life and shifted my brain chemistry and everything. I’m genuinely obsessed so obvi I had to do some sketches

[shyalia]

I have had the honor of beta reading this fic since Chapter 18 and lemme tell ya, it's been a wild ride! The last chapter was so soo fun and I was not expecting another one this soon (like, 4 days after, the INSANITY), especially this MONSTER of a chapter, ohhhh man it's a good one!! We're getting so close now, guys, Act 3 and on the home stretch!!

Happy to share that I've gotten the next chapter of The Day the World Broke done SUPER ahead of schedule! Kicking off Act Three with a bang, y'all!!

A huge huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who has read this story. I still can't believe it's gotten as much attention as it has. Feel free to send in your theories or any questions you have, or just shout about things in my inbox.

We're close to the end, friends!!

[cloverstellar]

this is what reading a really good fic does to a mfer

anyways go here to the fic by @saladmix it’s a banger I’m deeply obsessed with the worldbuilding and the characterization and pacing is incredibly well written

[shyalia]

GUYS!!! TDTWB UPDATE IS COMING SOON!

So @saladmix said she would send me the next chapter of The Day the World Broke to beta by next weekend. This was to allow her time to write it, as well as give readers (myself included) a chance to process the curveball from chapter 31 and put their theories together. Because really, who wasn't like this by the end of it?

BUT NOW SHE TELLS ME THAT CHAPTER 32 IS COMPLETED AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!!!

I'm about to do my beta read now, I just had to scream about how excited I am, she is POWERING THROUGH THIS LIKE A BOSS!!

On another note, I am once again putting this out there in case you've missed it:

Saladmix and I have set up a Discord server for anyone who would like to discuss any theories they have about The Day the World Broke (or to discuss the fic in general) in a more interactive group chat setting. Just send either myself or Saladmix a message for a link to join!

"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

this is from chapter 31 (what a chapter!) I don't know why i find it funny that Shredder gets so mad because Mikey STICKED OUT HIS TONGUE 😭😭 Dude, are you really mad bc a 15 year old boy his tongue out at you? It's so funny Mikey 1 Shredder 0
