From the river too the sea palestine Will be Free

I'm Mohammed Ayoub Al-Madhoun, a Palestinian from Gaza, I am 25 years old, married and have two beautiful daughters, Masa, who is three years old, and Misk, who is ten months old.

We used to live a safe life full of joy and prosperity. We worked hard without any slacking during the past 5 years.

I graduated from the Gaza Community Training College, majoring in mechanical engineering, but there were no job opportunities, so I resorted to looking for new ways of working. I worked as a taxi driver to provide the basic necessities of life, such as food, drink and shelter. We started building our new house a very short time before the war, and it seems that we have become without anything.

Unfortunately, there are still large financial payments that have not been paid yet, approximately ten thousand dollars.

I was able to own a car in installments a few months before the war, unfortunately I do not know its fate as I was unable to take it to the southern Gaza Strip because we left with nothing on foot, and when I was able to complete its installments, the seller began to demand his right.

It is very difficult to say that we have lost everything, it is like a recurring nightmare that we live every day, we have lost our beautiful and peaceful life and our warm and safe home, our dreams of a bright future have been shattered.

We were forced to evacuate our home after the army bombed the house adjacent to our home in Jabalia neighborhood and our home was severely damaged to the point that it was no longer habitable.

We left everything from food, drink and clothing in our homes, and we left our home and headed to the southern part of the Strip hoping for a better and safer life, but unfortunately there is no longer a safe place in Gaza,and we ive in a small tent without any source of income and I also need an eye operation that is very expensive and needs to be performed abroad

Therefore, I am forced to communicate and ask for help from you, hoping that you will extend a helping hand to us in our difficult and difficult days.

Every donation will greatly affect our ability to deal with these enormous challenges, and provide basic necessities such as food, drink, clothing and treatment in particular.

I am very optimistic about returning to the life I have always wanted. Your invaluable help will be used to provide for my family's basic needs and restore our home when it's time to return.

God Bless You

I ASK ALL OF YOU TO HELP MY FAMILY AND DONATE IN THE LINK PLEASE🍉

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS 101: A FULL LESSON ON THE SERIES AS A WHOLE AND THE IDENTITY IMPLICATIONS IT PRESENTS

for @basilthesnakingthing's own enjoyment

quick disclaimer that I have not read the books in a few years, but I did rewatch the film this morning and as I write this, the Netflix TV series is playing in the background. my knowledge is not perfect and I may have a few details off, but this has been written to the best of my ability.

basic knowledge about the series:

cu was originally a series of twelve epic novels written by Dav Pilkey. it centres around two American fourth grade boys, George Beard (the kid on the left with the tie and the flat top) and Harold Hutchins (the kid on the right with the t-shirt and the bad haircut. remember that now).

the two of them have been best friends forever and create many comics in George's tree house in their spare time, the most relevant of these comics being of Captain Underpants, a superhero whom they invented because so many superheroes look like they're flying around in their underwear. he's faster than a speeding waistband, more powerful than boxer shorts, and able to leap tall buildings without getting a wedgie, (yes this is a quote from the actual series) and has the catchphrase "Tra-La-La". like his name suggests, he wears underwear, and in addition to that, a red cape with polka dots. he is also bald.

the boys' main concern in life is their school principal, Mr Benjamin Krupp (egg /aff). Mr Krupp is a grouchy toupee-wearing child-hating curmudgeon (who, at least in the film, literally lives on Curmudgeon Boulevard). Mr Krupp's mission in life is to make his students, especially George and Harold, as miserable as possible.

the series of events that leads to the main plot differs between the books and the film (with the origin skipped altogether in the tv series), but the basic gist is that the boys end up in a situation where they are at the complete mercy of Mr Krupp, and they are not happy. this is where the 3D Hypno Ring comes in. the 3D Hypno Ring, in the book, was manufactured by Li'l Wiseguy Novelty Company and acquired by George through online order; in the film, it was acquired by George as a toy from a cereal box. either way, it is in George's possession, and as a last-ditch attempt at stopping Mr Krupp, the boys hypnotise him into thinking he is, in fact, Captain Underpants.

the swap between Mr Krupp and Captain Underpants is triggered by two separate events: in order to turn Krupp into Cap, one must snap their fingers. so, literally any time Krupp hears finger-snapping, he turns into Cap. in order to turn Cap into Krupp, he needs his head to get wet. it's not fully clear how wet his head needs to be in order to swap back, but if Krupp's head is wet without a way to dry it, he cannot be turned into Cap, as the water counteracts the snapping. in the same vein, if Krupp cannot hear the snap, he cannot be turned into Cap.

Cap, although he means well, is not exactly the most intelligent of people, and usually ends up causing more trouble than he causes. we love him for this. although he starts out a normal man with normal man abilities, he does eventually gain superpowers. in the third book, he drinks alien extra-strength super power juice, which gives him superhuman strength, durability and flight abilities. in the film, he falls into a giant radioactive toilet and acquires powers from the horrible toxic waste within - these powers are the same as in the books, but with the addition of unlimited underwear. the show, once again, does not show this origin, however, it's implied that the Cap of this timeline also drank alien superpower juice.

the books and show usually go on with a base plotline of George and Harold make a comic, and somehow (usually due to some sort of prank they pull, often with the aid of one of Melvin's inventions), the monstrous, potty-humour themed villain of the comic comes to life. Jerome Horowitz Elementary will never know a day of peace again.

and yeah, there you have the basic gist of Captain Underpants lore! I've skipped out on many other characters and plot points that aren't too relevant to what I want to talk about, so I'll just move on now.

KRUPP, CAP, AND MY THOUGHTS:

so, Krupp and Cap are the same person. neither of them know this, of course; Krupp, whenever he hears the snapping of fingers, essentially blacks out until he comes to, all wet and in his underwear. he is not having a fun time of it, as his memory is basically Swiss Cheese and odd things keep happening at his school, which he continuously misses. his swap back from Cap to Krupp is usually accompanied by dialogue such as "where am I?! what's going on?! where are my pants?!" etc., etc. he doesn't even know that 'Captain Underpants' exists in real life. meanwhile Cap doesn't really know Krupp exists either. in the film, he believes that 'Principal Krupp' is his alter ego, a secret identity of sorts who isn't actually real. in all of the media, though, he doesn't really question what happens between fights or even acknowledge his gaps in memory - he sort of just jumps into whatever situation he finds awakens to without really needing to orientate himself.

of course, all three sets of media are geared towards a rather young audience, so we don't really see any exploration of the consequences of Krupp and Cap technically being the same person within canon. well, that's what fanon is for!

I like to think that Krupp notices the missing time and starts worrying. I love the angst potential of not knowing what he's lost, not understanding why so many things happen at the school he runs that he just... never sees. do you know how much property damage is done to that place, and he has no idea what caused it? it's such a good way to both look at how Krupp sees himself, how he acts outside of tormenting children, what he cares about, and y'know. putting the egg through the ol' ringer (if you can't tell, Krupp is my favourite character). in canon, he already expresses distress about the lost time, even if it's just for a few moments per book/episode.

Cap, meanwhile, lives his life like it's a comic book, because in his mind, life is kind of a comic book to him. he's a superhero! he fights crime! he saves the day! anything between that is just filler, and who pays attention to filler anyway?

of course, the identity issues would probably truly come to a head whenever the two find out about each other. once again, this sort of thing never happens in canon, but it's been explored plenty in the fandom! my personal favourite example of this is the @cu-stickynotes-au, which I highly recommend checking out.

also, bringing George and Harold back into this (as I ought to, they are the protagonists), the fact that two ten-year-old boys LITERALLY MIND-CONTROLLED THEIR PRINCIPAL IN ORDER TO HAVE NO CONSEQUENCES TO THEIR ACTIONS IS INSANE. yes, they are both children and they don't fully understand the scope of their actions, but also. holy what. I just think it's so interesting to have this man whose life has been permanently altered and who is also two men in one body with serious identity issues oncoming, and it's all because of these two random children. that is insane.

when considering Krupp and Cap as a unit, the main question I often ponder is this: are Krupp and Cap the same person? bodily, yes. but mentally? eh, who knows? in my mind, 'Captain Underpants' is still technically a two-dimensional character made by ten-year-old boys. however, Cap is now a three-dimensional person. I think at least subconsciously, he's definitely influenced by Krupp, and vice versa. Krupp and Cap are very much opposites: Mean Ol' Principal Krupp, who hates children and anything fun, who is grounded in pessimism and reality, and Captain Underpants, who loves children, adores potty humour and laughter, and who is not only an optimist, but is fully the opposite of grounded. he can literally fly! whether they're the same person is ambiguous to me, but I like to think that there's some mental connection. plus, if you want to pull in some real world facts about hypnosis - it doesn't really work unless your at least partially open to suggestion (at least I think, I'm admittedly not at all knowledgeable in hypnosis). so there's my thoughts on that question.

this post took me five episodes of the CU Netflix series to write. that is insane. I could probably expand more upon these thoughts, but frankly, I'm really tired and I don't feel like it right now. I would rather continue watching fun little show. also, sorry if some of this doesn't make sense, I read the books in English, watched the show in French, and have seen the film in both, so I had to do some mental translation for a few of these sentences. hope this helped explain the pattern between my interests through my life, Basil!

Love them ☺️

Dear Friends,

Dear Community,

I am Ahmed Abuowda,

A Palestinian citizen with roots in Khan Younis,

A father of three beautiful girls.

I have always been deeply committed to protecting human rights and helping those in need. However, the recent explosions in Gaza have shattered everything we once held dear. Our homes, filled with love and precious memories, now lie in ruins. I haven’t just lost my house, i’ve lost everything that mattered to us.

My mother's home, my appartment and all it belongings. All gone, leaving behind only painful memories.

https://gofund.me/999e0c1c

Despite enduring so much, we remained steadfast, helping others through their own times of need.

As 2023 approaches, the basic necessity of shelter looms over us. My hope was to rebuild our lives in Khan Younis. Yet, faced with the reality that Gaza is no longer habitable, we had to seek safety and a fresh start beyond its borders. Tragically, some of our loved ones remain behind, while others have fled or perished.

Today, my family and I find ourselves in the Arab Republic of Egypt, struggling to rebuild. Without proper residency or citizenship, it has been nearly impossible to secure work or provide our children with the decent life they deserve. All our attempts to establish stability here have failed.

I humbly appeal for your support. Though I am not accustomed to asking for help, I now reach out in desperation. Your generosity no matter how small can serve as a line of hope, helping us rise from the depths of this disaster.

As the world faces its own challenges, your solidarity could be our lifeline. Please stand with us in our darkest hours as we strive to rebuild our lives and ensure the well-being of our children.

Every donation, every act of kindness, brings us one step closer to survival.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Ahmed Abuowda
