    My personal favorite interpretation of 05-13 is the idea that they're a person they picked up off the street. That the 05 council gets desensitized to things over years of anomalies and forget what is and isnt normal. So they get a random person off the street to determine if something is actually normal or not.

    My favorite SCP is 962, aka “The Tower of Babble”. It’s a 281-meter-tall tower of steel and wood, that turns animals into crude facsimiles of humans for its work force, and occasionally sends out balloons with papers containing essays about how the tower admires humans.

It looks like….this building has a crush on humans. I wonder if it’s really that friendly. I would like to read about humans interacting with the building to see what happens. The building can write, so there is a chance of communication.

    One of my favorite SCP stories is the one about a humanoid Cthulhu who just wants to relax and play video games, but unintentionally causes cults to spring up and worship him just by existing. He hates this, but can’t stop it from happening. So he turns himself in to the foundation for protection, resulting in cultists occasionally attacking the facility under the assumption he’s been imprisoned.

      My favorites run the spectrum in tone from 'To the Cleverest', a sentient monkey-clapping-cymbals statue that chooses whoever can pull the most impressive prank as its owner (which set off a prank war in one of the sites as all the researchers tried to outdo each other), to 'When Day Breaks', an apollyon-class event where sunlight (and moonlight) fucking melts people into goo abominations on contact, which only live to convert others into more abominations by force or deception. There's SCP's that are genuinely light-hearted and funny, and others that will make you sleep with the lights on for weeks, and horror for every taste. You like body horror? We got you covered. Cosmic horror? Gather round and take your pick. I've actually had an SCP I've been writing and planning to submit to the official community forums to see whether or not it's liked enough to be accepted into canon, but it's been on the backburner for a good while now while I focus on other projects.

    I've read almost all 7000 SCP entries that currently exist and out of all of them my favorite one is SCP-184. Basically it's an object that when placed inside a room starts expanding it (but sort of keeping the original templste) up to a point of reality starting to break down the further it stretches (think of walls made out of hamster food, floor made out of vanilla ice cream, etc.). Now the funny bit is that the foundation placed it in a public park disguised as a piece of art thinking "Oh yeah, of it's outside it can't exert its effects right?". Boy were they wrong! Apparently that object is the reason the universe is expanding and they've sent manned expeditions to the outer reaches of the universe where they found Earths where, for an example, Africa was made completely out of chocolate or some crazy shit like that. They believe it to be the source of everything anomalous due to its "reality warping" effects.
    The last sentence stated something along the lines of "How do you best hide SCP-001? You don't classify it as 001".
    Keep in mind I'm going off of memory here and I've read the entry ages ago, it could've been edited, rewritten, removed, etc. until now so take this all with a grain of salt.

I do think some could have been utilized or written much better. I usually get bored when reading SCPs related to the Scarlet King and/or Sarkicism as it all just sounds so similar and cliché but the one I think is my least favorite one is probably one of the SCP-001 proposals, The Factory. I don't know why but I never liked that proposal. In comparison to all the other ones that are either extremely well written and/or have very cool concepts behind them, or they are very elegant or logical, The Factory just seems so brutish and way too simple to be the actual 001.
      I also don't care much for 096, 682 and 173 since they've seeped too deep into the mainstream and are being milked into oblivion by everyone. They are the classics and I acknowledge how impactful they were on the development of the SCP universe but I'm just sick of them being shoved into canon stories and other similar content just because they are popular.

    Quick note. Depending on reader interpretation in the story of scp-5000 the scp foundation doesn’t necessarily become evil and kill everyone. It’s pretty heavily implied that there was some form of scp that either took over the foundation or there was an scp that had infected the mind of everyone and the foundation had to kill everyone to keep the scp from progressing. It’s up to reader interpretation but I thought I’d point that out as I really like that story.

    • @Lorlic1138
      @Lorlic1138 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      I don’t recall exactly but I think there was an explanation for why they started killing everyone. It wasn’t that they were taken over, they uncovered something so horrific that the only way to save humanity is to wipe it out. Something to do with the fact that there is not afterlife but neither is death a void. I don’t quite remember but it was bad enough that it made them seem like the good guys again.

    • @jordanfry5138
      @jordanfry5138 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      It's complicated, the idea is effectively that a cognitohazard of incredible power got spread through the foundation that convinced them that anybody alive who wasn't affected by it was better off dead. But the implication is that the foundation is convinced that they've actually just been inoculated against a larger cognitohazard that already affected all of humanity, so they think everyone else is the one affected.
      The clever part is that functionally speaking, if everyone on Earth was affected by a cognitohazard, a defense against that would work the same way as a normal cognitohazard, because baseline human thought has been so thoroughly contorted by the broader cognitohazard that there's no difference between a defense from the broader one and a normal cognitohazard. So you can take it as the foundation going crazy or as them being the only ones who know better, because those explanations would both cause the same response.
      With that said, I'm pretty sure the article implies that the foundation is actually under a cognitohazard and that the idea that the whole rest of the world was is wrong, because individuals like Dr. Bright who can't be affected by cognitohazards weren't changed by the message that the foundation sent out that contained the supposed inoculation, which should have worked if it wasn't anomalous. But that's just my take.

The Foundation abused it to profit by selling medicine for diseases they introduced to all of the world's livestock using it; and in the process they fucked things up so badly that an entire order of animals - on the scale of 'mammals' or 'reptiles' - had to be cut off to slow the progression of the rot.

      Honestly I’m a fan of both theories fused together. He’s an scp who subconsciously rejects the anomalous and acts as the neutralising agent to the acidity of the SCPs, but he also once felt for an SCP (possibly bc she might also have known a trauma unique to anomalous creatures and their interactions with other anomalies) and they fell for each other in a love that ultimately could never be thanks to the world they lived in and the paths both had already been walking.
      One that both crossed paths before going separate ways once more until fate in its cruelty brought them together again in the only way it could have inevitably ended (especially because of how he will always act as an antithesis to the anomalous and to change such a key component of himself that he isn’t even aware of to its true extent, potentially, would mean smashing the glass window that is Dr. Clef, SCP Researcher/former MTF member.)

    I like to think SCP-001 is simply the awareness of being a writing project. The reason it's so hidden? For the benefit of you, the reader; it represents your suspension of disbelief. If you think about it too much, it would ruin your experience with SCP, because you'd constantly be laughing at how unrealistic everything is.
    In-canon, it works the same; reading it would simply mean you've realised that you are little more than the words and thoughts of a group of people on the internet.

    Mind you, the SCP document for Clef's daughter was changed some time back because of the ick factor of a minor having those sorts of effects.
    Her effects were changed so that artificial things near her will change back to their natural state. She also has a sensitivity to artificial materials in food, her clothes, and the air, so polyester clothes, smoke in the air, and the like. She also has a few reindeer features like antlers and a tail. Imo much more fitting for the daughter of a nature goddess.

Its a small grey cylinder that when placed next to a piece of media it will have Three Moons soldiers show up and stop the bad guys or whoever is in the wrong. This ranges from shit like Monty Python and the Holy Grail having the Killer Rabbit being killed, to the Death Star in Star Wars being taken by the Three Moons, to the Lo-Fi hip hop girl being told to stop doing her homework and get some sleep, to even fucking Mel Brooks himself showing up in Blazing Saddles to stop the Three Moons from tampering with his film. Should note that the Three Moons exist in their own universe and have a shaky alliance with the Foundation, and are aware of the Foundations tests of this SCP. Also note that this SCP makes every piece of fictional media a real universe as well, due to how the Three Moons operates, so yeah.

    Here, i can actually give an alternate description of the classification system to the best of my understanding of it, using parrots.
    Safe: All you gotta do is put a blanket over the cage and the parrot will go to sleep, or the parrot is perfectly content inside the cage
    Euclid: Parrot sometimes tries to escape the cage and you have to run after it before it flies into a neighbors tree and poops on their car
    Keter: The parrot can break the cage, or summon other parrots to break the cage for them and they must constantly be put back in.
    Thaumiel: The parrot will actually prevent other parrots from doing anything
    Apollyon: The parrot is an ethereal entity, and there either is no known cage that can contain them, or putting them in a cage just causes bird poop to materialize on every surface in the neighborhood. Either way, the parrot wins in the end and there is no way to escape it.
    Neutralized: Parrot cannot poop no more
    Explained: It was just a normal parrot all along.. Who knew?
    Maskur: Some assembly of parrot required.
    Hiemal: The parrot keeps pooping on everyone's cars but it's the only thing preventing a flock of inter-dimensional demon parrots from entering our world and pooping on everything in existence, and if we put the first parrot in the cage, then the demon parrots will be free to come into our reality.

    While watching this, at different times, I felt like entries you mentioned connected in some way to existing SCP-media, possibly making that media SCP-canon. for anyone interested, it was: the Umbrella Academy, which I think draws a lot from the overall vibe of SCP with parts of its third season, especially the hotel. specifically though, elements of the scarlet king and the seven children just sounded very familiar. the white queen is almost a one for one replica of jobu from everything everywhere all at once, including her motivation, origin story and once again, the overall vibe of the movie is very much in the same vein as a lot of SCP content. finally, bits of the sword and spear bits, with all the christian lore surrounding it reminded me of neon genesis evangelion, once again, the entire canon universe of EVA carries a similar energy to SCP and the way the spear of longinus is described in the rebuild movies mirrored bits of the SCP lore. other elements of EVA could also comfortable fit into SCP, more or less always balancing perfectly on the edge between something being completely horrific as a concept and being hilariously stupid.
    That is all just the intro to my real discovery though, based on googling "scp evangelion" and finding SCP entry 6224, which is a phenomenon wherein a certain facility would be infested in a way, after any person entered it, that had consumed media at all related to evangelion. upon them entering, items in the facility would start randomly becoming EVA-branded versions of themselves. most hilariously, the facility directors car (a porsche cayenna) gaining a large decal of a lewd/suggestive image of misato katsuragi (incident A129). I genuinely can't believe somebody came up with that, rather than anything serious but at the end of the day this is what I love about SCP.

    My favorite explanation for O-13 is it's just a normal person "recruited" by the O5s because their perception of what is normal is so skewed that they need a "civilian" to let them know how messed up what they are currently dealing with actually is.

      O-5: So, why is this agent trying to classify some scissors that cuts holes in the fabric of space and time as an SCP?
      O-13: Because... scissors don't do that.
      O-5: Wait, really?

    One of my favorite scps is the bowl of rice that makes anyone in its immediate vicinity speak and write exclusively in haiku, as well as the world's gayest man (he's apparently a really nice and friendly guy but he's so radioactive that even hazmat suits aren't safe enough for interactions with him)
