The Tutorial

Watch This City Burn

I’m going in chronological order and am only up to Dec 2010, so I haven’t started on MLAnderson, Whispered Faith, and so on yet. I still need to see if Just Another Fool is on the Wayback Machine, and I need to track down the tweets and blog posts of The Big Ones.

My fave obscure entries are Dreams In Darkness and Beyond the Neon. I think my main bias to Neon is that the main character reminds me of one of my OCs terribly, and so I could watch him do anything ever. Idrk if it’s Good by normal definitions, I’m just like. Haha this is what Blorbo from My Brain would also do.

My least favorites are Seeking Truth, and I really hope compileTRUTH picks up soon, cuz I like the character Cairo but the formatting of the show is difficult for me to engage with.

If you know any other series - send me an ask or dm me. I wanna know. My new years goal this year is that I will learn enough to become haunted by Slenderman.

slenderverse fans will recommend you the world's most low quality junk food esque piece of media with no real themes or any sense of what actually makes something good or interesting, probably created by some 15-20 year old, who abandoned it after like 2-3 years. it's me i'm the slenderverse fan. read The Tutorial

I realized I never posted this art of M, from The Tutorial before! His relationship with Beth of Icthyological guts me.

I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.

When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.

I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-

I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.

The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."

Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.

So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.

Tutorial on drawing characters/OCs who have some sort of facial paralysis. It doesn't cover all possible variants because I was using mirror as my main reference lawl

Keep in mind that this is an introductory drawing tutorial and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People 👍

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

How to Be The Dominant Male in Any Situation

Let's say you walk into a party.

You are wet and pathetic. Not only are you a worm, but even among worms you are the runt of the litter.

There's a way to fix that. Even you can be the alpha male in every situation you're in. Here's how:

Alpha Male Rule 1: Stand Tall or Very Short

In some things in nature, like rats and giraffes, the biggest creature in is leader.

However, in other things in nature, like the mafia, which has large goons but a small boss, the smallest creature is the leader.

You need to lean into whichever option is closest to you. If you are almost short, try wearing a big suit like a mob boss would wear to also make yourself wider like a mob boss. If are you almost tall, like I am, trying wearing these bad boys:

Now, I know what you're thinking: "High heels?? But isn't that for women???" Women have been hiding them from us men because they are afraid of how powerful we would be with them. But, why do women alone get to augment so much about themselves?? Look at all the eyeliner and mascara they need to even begin to mimic the power and seductiveness of our male eyelashes:

So, let's take a look at how we're doing now having applied just this one piece of advice:

It's a whole new situation. Let's move onto rule 2:

Alpha Male Rule 2: Always Get What You Want But Never Ask For It

I notice the man next to me has cookies. I would like one. Not only that, but there's also a woman next to me, watching. Asking another man for a cookie is extremely un-alpha behavior, so here's how you go about this situation:

1) Point out that someone else has something that you want

2) Cry until they give it to you

If everything has gone according the plan, you now have a cookie, and the woman is thinking something like this:

Let's move onto the last rule.

Alpha Male Rule 3: Always Up the Ante

Whatever you want to do or say, do or say it at least 3 times as hard as a regular person. When your coffee is $3, you should give $9 to show how wealthy you are. When you say "I'll be back in 5 minutes" you should actually be back in 15 minutes -- but really, you should say "I'll be back in 15 minutes" and be back in 45 minutes.

You should also start every task at step 3 rather than step 1. So, a normal (read: beta) guy might tell a girl "I think you're pretty" and then later ask "will you be my girlfriend?' But you should just say this:

99% of women will say yes, but if she needs further convincing, it can be helpful to offer her a small present, like a trinket or snack.

Congratulations. You have now learned how to be the most dominant male in any situation. Here are a few more tips for the road:

Claim to be descended from an ancient king or emperor. You can make a map or your lineage and fold it up to carry it in your pocket, so that you may unfold it whenever it needs to be presented.

If a woman takes a genuine interest in you, do the full body blush animation rising from bottom to top like you're a cup filling up, then run away, leaving behind a small cloud and a few speed lines. The idea that woman can actually like you is a lie perpetuated by Big Women.

If you want to further increase your height, try wearing bunny ears.

You have repeatedly awarded yourself quest rewards that you did not earn, disregarding the game's mechanics. Why?

@plus-minus-contingency

I've never monoluged before!

It all started some time ago, when I was messing with purpose-finder.program. One of the purposes it tried to assign me was of an NPC leftover from an earlier alpha version of the game.

The developers didn't remove certain mechanics from that older version. Why, I have no idea, but when it temporarily made me into the [Archmage of Light]. It dug out an asset from that older version, the [Orb of Excellence].

The [Orb of Excellence] was smashed, so it doesn't exist anymore, but it turns out, purpose-finder actually summoned seven different orbs.y hypotheses is that these had something to do with the story, before they decided to make this into a more open world game.

Anyways, that's why I asked you about seeing "ominous orbs". I found one, the [Orb of Wisdom], every orb has a price for its use. The [Orb of Wisdom] grants knowledge, at the cost of making the user obsessed with forbidden knowledge. I used it, my curiosity got the better of me.

So, I started researching stuff, about the limits of my purview. Turns out, any mechanic under the format tutorial.something.something is something I can control.

I can summon very basic items and monsters, I can teleport anyone who is in the process of doing the tutorial to any location which is important to the tutorial, and a bunch of additional things! I have like, 78 super basic health potions in my inventory! They aren't powerful, but there are a lot of them.

I didn't expect you to find out, but I guess it is forbidden knowledge after all.
