The Bright Sessions: Consolidated Lore and Timeline
Footnotes: double-click the footnote number in the text to jump to the footnote (this may not work on mobile, sorry!), click the link that s
After a month, countless relistens of the podcast, at least a cumulative 5 readings of The Infinite Noise, 3 readings of A Neon Darkness, and 3 readings of Some Faraway Place, my best friend and I have created this monstrosity of a google document that compiles the entire timeline of the entire bright sessions universe.
This 26k-word document contains every major event that happens in the bright sessions, the bright sides, the am archives, the college tapes, and all three books in order of when they happened, along with some extra details about the characters that we wanted to throw in there. There are also footnotes adding relevant details and commentary. This is designed mostly as an outlet for our current hyperfixation, but we thought we'd release it on tumblr so that anyone who might find it useful for whatever reason can access it.
Full credit goes to @thelaurenshippen and @thebrightsessions for creation of this world, and we strongly recommend everyone go out and buy merch, support the producers with monthly donations, or recommend the show to a friend so that Atypical Artists can keep making shows that inspire people like us. Thank you :)
ummmmmmmmm holy SHIT!?!?!?!?!? THIS IS SO COOL WOW!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to dig into this further (my computer is struggling to load it lol, my parents' wifi is not the greatest) but I am just absolutely bowled over that anyone has taken the time to compile this. I'm genuinely speechless, this is INCREDIBLE.
thank you for being so passionate about this universe!!! it is unbelievably meaningful to me and I'm SO excited to read through it all!!!!!
huh
Major spoilers ahead!!!!!!1!!!

Can't afford art school?
After seeing post like this 👇
And this gem 👇
As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.
Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.
📺Here is my list:
Proko (Free)
Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)
Aaron Rutten (free)
BoroCG (free)
Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
Jesus Conde (free)
Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)
SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)
Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.
📚Here is my list:
The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.
"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.
"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.
"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.
Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.
As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.
For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.
💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.
Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)
Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)
Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)
PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
Krita (Free)
mypaint (free)
FireAlpaca (free)
Libresprite (free, for pixel art)
Those are the ones I can recall.
So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.
I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.
Hope this was helpful and have a great day.
Incase people missed this.
Sorry for this relatable shit. My anxiety has been a bitch lately.

Sometimes a post calls you out, and sometimes it calls you out by name.
This post not only called me out by name, it used the middle name for good measure.

Homie gonna share this
You guys just have to trust me on this one and click here okay?
OH MY GOD I NEEDED THIS
For the chronically anxious and/or otherwise mentally ill:
This is not a screamer, jumpscare, or any other kind of horror link I don’t know the name of. It will not cause you to question reality and as far as I’m aware, there is no reason it should cause any kind of hallucinations or psychosis. I don’t want to spoil the surprise because it’s DELIGHTFUL but I am happy to tell you it’s very sweet and gentle and also great lowkey stress relief. This is a cinnamon roll link appropriate for all ages (yes, all the way down to babies) and you will enjoy it if you click it. ❤️
This makes me so happy
I made the first page so long ago but hey, I finished.
