Not wanting popularity to be drawn to "Basics in Behavior", KatiE18729 unlisted the episode on November 24, 2024 and subsequently changed its visibility to private in April 2025.{{citation needed|date=May 2025}} == Synopsis == ''Fundamental Paper Education'' follows around a school in which some students are murdered for having failing academic scores. The series only features one episode, ''Basics in Behavior'', in which Claire is murdered by Alice whilst exploring Paper School. Earlier, Abbie was murdered by Miss Circle for failing the math test, while Lana was killed for witnessing Abbie's murder. The future of the series is uncertain, as a series of artworks shows KatiE18729's stagnating amount of motivation to continue it. == Characters == === Teachers === Three main teachers are introduced in ''Basics in Behavior''. * '''Miss Circle''' is a math teacher who first appears in the episode ''Basics in Behavior'', in which she kills Abbie and chases Claire in an attempt to kill her too. She is often a prominent figure in online media. * '''Miss Bloomie''' is a science teacher who appears to have a sense of guilt unlike Miss Circle, who appears almost guiltless when murdering Abbie. * '''Miss Thavel''' is a language teacher. Besides the three main characters, there are more characters which have been shown partially. *'''Miss Emily''' is the history teacher *'''Miss Sasha''' is the art teacher. *'''Miss Grace''' is the principal *'''Mister Demi''' is the music teacer. === Students === * '''Abbie''' is a character who failed his math test and was the first to be killed in ''Basics in Behavior'' by the teacher Miss Circle. * '''Claire''' is the protagonist of the series. In the episode ''Basics in Behavior'', she appears multiple times until she is later killed by "Alice". * '''Engel''' is a character who defends Claire when she is about to be attacked by Miss Circle with a large compass. * '''Lana''' is another character killed off-camera after discovering the murder of Abbie. *'''Oliver''' is one of the bullies of Paper School who is seen to laugh at Claire at the beginning of the video. '''Oliver''' is in a relationship with '''Alice''', as it has been evidenced so in multiple times at the video. *'''Zip''' is another bully of Paper School. She has a little brother, named '''Chip'''. *'''Edward''' is another bully who looks like a scientist. He is in possession of a drone, which was used to lift Claire and throw it into a hole in the library. === Antagonists === So far, there have only been two true antagonists in the series, excluding the teachers. * '''Alice''' (stylized as '''Δlice''') is a university student who in the episode Basics in Behavior, killed the protagonist Claire. '''Alice''' sould possibly in a relationship with '''Oliver''' and the fandom has also made it the standard for ships with Oliver. * '''Aiden''' (stylized as '''Δiden''') is an possible upcoming character in the series, as she is currently featured in official artwork only. ==Derivatives== There have been approximately 3 famous derivatives of the original FPE animation.

'''Cancelled AUs' are as follows: *FPE Neverland AU ==Controversies== Ever since the publishing of FPE, there have always been criticism regarding its style. Among them, a group called AFC, led by Wagner is one of them. The group has harassed Kaaatie to the point where she has tied herself up, as stated by some of her friends. She has also faced the inappropriate sexualization of her characters, often making those characters ship with each other where there is a large age gap. Moreover, she has also stated that Oliver deserves to be shipped with Alice only, but some haven't obeyed it. ==Present Situation== On April, some days after all her videos were deleted, Kaaatie updated her YouTube bio. She said that she was doing fine and that she needs some time before she can make YouTube videos again.
