yOU WANNA ROTATE TEXT?! well mod 5ider has got the fucking t r i c k s homie

Step one: Type something.

P E R F E C T.

sTEP TWO: FIND THE RESIZE OPTION.

You see that little resize button on your menu?

Yeah, that’s the one. you can just click that shit!

On older versions of MS Paint there isn’t this option, but you can always find it with a quick right-click.

THERE IT FUCKING IS!!!!!

 STEP THREE: STRETCH AND SKEW

When you click resize, this menu comes up.

I’m sure you all have seen this menu before, but for those who don’t, I’ll clue you in. The top options control the length and respective width of your artwork. you can choose to alter them separately,

or all together

Using that little “Maintain Aspect Ration” checkbox there, but that’s not important right now.

wHat we’re focusing on is that skew option on the botttom.

with that you can t i l t whatever image yuo have on your screen to the left

to the right

up

and down.

“BUT 5IDER!!!!!” you say, “THAT DOESN’T LOOK ROTATED AT ALL”

wELL HOLD ON TO YOUR LUG NUTS BECAUSE I T ’ S T I M E F O R

STEP 4: ULTRA COMBOOOOOOOO!!!!!

now, comes the fun part. unlike its aspect ratio locked cousin, the stretch and skew options work independently from one another. So, you can do things like 

and

But that’s neither here nor there… what gets REALLY interesting is when your ratios are in opposite directions..

HOME RUN!

Now, before I let you go, I found out through trial and error that an angle doesn’t exactly match up with its negative dimension…

(Step 5: Angular ratios)

See? there’s a little offset between vertical and horizontal if your expect your text to appear natural instead of tilted. The only places that this offset reaches zero is at 90° (of course) and the rare and extremely dangerous 45° rotations.

Fortunately, I’ve already mapped out a few angles that I find are very useful in my works so, for your viewing pleasure… i present my handy dandy graph

All you have to do is match up your desired angle up to its respective complement and you have quickly and efficiently rotated your first word in MS Paint.

one of the few crossdressing ducks that didn’t make me break out in hives, on account of not having been forced to do it for emasculating reasons or anything, it’s just a practical solution to daisy having too many obligations since they look exactly, and i mean exactly the same

one of those obligations was manning a kissing booth for charity and donald punching a catcaller in the face escalates into guys just fucking lining up to get decked by a cute little duck

get on his fucking level, mickey
