Lot of Warnings: LOUD SOUND AND A LOT OF CRAZY STUFF YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE! AND IT'S NOT FOR THE LITTLE USERS! SO DON'T TAKE IT DOWN! Lore: Deep within the forgotten years of strategic psychological operations lies the hidden history of Pandom Productions, a clandestine division of the Imperial Russian government masquerading as an early animation studio in Petrograd during the winter of World War I. In 1915, seeking an absolute psychological asset to alter enemy resolve on the Eastern Front, research groups tapped into an anomalous atmospheric breach, pulling forth Prince Mayes Or‑Tarkhan Marsh Graves—the last surviving 19-year-old heir to the grand, erased Tartarian Empire that had been utterly deleted from human memory during the 1802 Mud Flood. Rechristened "Mournin Mayes" and trapped under the studio's control, his cursed absolute immortality meant he could not age, decay, or be deleted; instead, Pandom Productions bound his tragic essence onto highly unstable, celluloid film reels, intending to broadcast his reality-bending plight as a mass disorientation asset. But the experiment collapsed during the Day Zero atmospheric event; the film corrupted, fracturing Mayes’s physical form into a fragile, monochrome paper glitch and banishing him into the surreal, two-dimensional realm of the Fundamental Paper Education universe
Now existing as a living contradiction trapped in a school notebook aesthetic, Mayes wanders aimlessly as a hollow-eyed, grayscale specter shedding a single black tear, anchored to the Gilded Sepulcher of the Silent Cry—a frozen, alchemical gold remnant of his lost homeland surrounded by an eternal chorus of echoing laments. He remains the universe's ultimate, un-deletable anomaly: a century-old asset of the Tsar, a glitch in reality's code, and the only being alive who remembers—and eternally mourns—a vast, beautiful empire that history insists never existed. For over a century, the corrupted media remained buried in a sealed, subterranean Petrograd bunker until 2024, when an anonymous Scratch user-Youtuber discovered a rusted, data-corrupted flash drive hidden inside an old military crate, extracting a bizarre .sb3 project file & .Webm Video and sharing it online—unknowingly embedding the haunting, un-erasable memory of Tartaria directly onto the Scratch community servers and on YouTube itself. The user was deleted on both sites, but one user managed to download the 2 files before they were deleted, now reuploaded.
