My teacher posted something strange on Canvas...

**My teacher posted something strange on Canvas...** is a YouTube short published by Alex Casanas. It is an introductory video to a new series known as Homith Twin Study.

## Overview

The episode is a YouTube short clip posted by a student. It depicts a student uncovering a file posted by their professor on Canvas, a laboratory report for some kind of human experiment.

The video opens on a frame of two men. The left one, in what appears to be a black cylinder, is shown to be incredibly well built, while the one on the right is emaciated and thin.

An A.I. voice states "My teacher posted something strange on Canvas." while the video shows the student logging onto Canvas, a website used by educational institutions to manage assignments and other aspects of a classroom. They enable two-factor authentication, and scroll through their classes files on the Canvas site. The video cuts to a downloaded file known as "HOMITH TWIN STUDY" which the student opens.

The video then depicts a document with the title "HOMITH TWIN STUDY'". The students video scrolls through multiple lines of text, which appear to be some kind of lab report. Many sections, including what appears to be the identity and any details on the subjects themselves, are redacted with black marker.

The lab report reads the following:

"The individual committed himself shortly after sustaining a serious injury at our car factory. He had not eaten for several days nor had he consumed a glass of water for 12 hours. The individual answered clearly and concisely. However he did not remain conscious to provide a complete medical history. After decontamination, the individual was given anasthesia and safely placed within the Homith chamber. Once seals were checked, Fontane serum entered through A, D, and F while cooler flowed from B and C. Oxygen levels were verified before activation of Homith."

Below the report, there is text that reads:

"QUESTION: What went wrong?

A) Functions of A,B,C. were not listed

B) Purpose of study was not provided.

C) Function of Homith was not specified.

D) All of the above."

Below the image of the well-built subject are statistics including "endurance", "aggressiveness", "charisma", and "loyalty" which are all redacted. At the top of the document there is an image of the emaciated subject with a list of basic information, all redacted. The image of the emaciated figure on the bottom, next to the well-built subject are short snippets of redacted text. On the far right is the well-built subject facing the opposite direction, with a redacted codename and a number of physical statistics like build and height, labeled "new" and also redacted. Notably, the "additional information" section for this subject is a paragraph long and also redacted.

The video ends on the same frame that the video opened on, with the A.I. voice asking "Does anyone know what this is?"

## Notes

### Trivia

* This is the first YouTube short published on the Mister Manticore channel, and currently seems to belong to a new series being published on the channel, separate from the Monument Mythos and Nixonverse continuities.
	+ The series was initially referred to as #canvashorror, due to that being the first tag given to this and subsequent videos. It has since been changed to Homith Twin Study, likely due to focusing more on shortform content than Canvas.
* Homith is typically a name, meaning "fashionable," which may relate in some way to the well built man. It may also relate to the subject themselves.
* The namesake of the Fontane serum introduced in this report may be related to German novelist Theodor Fontane, who specified a difference between the Ubermensch (supermen) and Untermensch (subhumans) which may relate to the two contrasting figures depicted in the report.
* In the background of the video, a music track plays with a voice repeatedly singing the following lyrics: "[Children it's] the story of a new kind of boogeyman."
* On May 11th, 2023, MISTER MANTICORE wrote in a youtube community post that the purpose of the shorts was to "[try] to bring in more channel engagement through a series of whimsical shorts (Homith Twin Study). But I regret that decision since most of the viewers didn't... quite understand the humor of it. People TORE me apart! Comment sections were a mess! So I've taken them down. If you own copies of them, feel free to show others. I don't care about them!"
