2:48 'One, we're in the future after some sort of apocalyptic event'
SCP readers: Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?
Now we should've waited any luck to see the Black Moon again 🤣
😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😭🤣🤣
Won't be long before we get a last apocalyptic event because of chrono shenanigans.
if you knew everything, would you even bother living?
IKR? looooooooool.
The thaumaturgic IT ritual reminded me of an old friend. He worked for IBM and then Unisys for forty years. He stayed up to date, even in retirement, and could handle anything from bleeding edge hardware to old punch card machines. It reminds me of him because he cosplayed as a wizard in his spare time. He had the full outfit, and a wonderful full white beard. At Christmas, he would do charity Santa Claus appearances. He was a good man and a good friend, we lost him last year. He would have gotten a laugh out of a story where they had to perform dark magic to debug a system.
Sorry for your loss, he sounds like he was a fun man
Sounds like a Truly a terrible loss :(.
my condolences on your friends passing.
Don't be sad ITS end be happy ITS hapen. He probably passing away but his memory Will live trough space and time .
May he be doing such things still on Heaven.
This is one of my articles, thanks to TES for covering it! It's certainly not my best work, but I'm still proud for getting something relatively ambitious out there. I hope you enjoy!
Very well done! I enjoyed the article a lot and can't wait to see what more you might bring in the future!
Personally, I found the world building to be both fantastic and highly compelling while also leaving enough open to really build upon in the future. If you plan on working around concepts of this cannon, I would be really interested to know how well actually shutting Oracle down went... as I'd imagine it would be not great, to say the least. Given its main imperative was to maintain the goals of the foundation, I'd imagine it would have a serious issue with the foundation choosing to dissolve itself. Oracle very clearly showed us it has no issues with railroading parts of humanity into doing what it wants, and my assumption is it likely already predicted this outcome, planned for it, and hid the intentions to stop it as we would expect a super intelligent AI to do.
Were you inspired by Local58?
I started listening to it this morning, wasn't able to finish, and then read it on an extended lunch break. Great stuff!
Yooo u need to make a book this needs to be explored
@@wolfblood5596 do you know what the black moon is?
Was 100% expecting Oracle to Skynet everyone during the meeting.
Surprising ending for sure
Its so nice to have a “happy” ending
Yeah. I thought the same lol
The ending may have been rather to Oracle's intent... as it is the intent of all in the foundation
@@jamchiroptera4258 that wasn't a happy ending
@@elvangulley3210that’s why they used quotation marks.
You know it's bad when even the good boi 999 isn't spared.
That was the one part of tale that genuinely upset me.
I think it was trying to spare a few humans from the apocalypse by containing them in itself... poor thing was doing it's best to make people happy until the end.
He deserved better.
You know it's bad when they some how float into the "lunar atmosphere".
Implying the moon not only doesn't have gravity anymore. It now has an atmosphere.
Jokes. I know its just shitty writing.
@@stevenhetzel6483 The moon has an atmosphere.
'pain will last only as long as you are alive' is a fucking RAW line
*laughs in SCP-2718*
but the foundation
999 probably tried to save as many people as it could within it, but succumbed to the blight eventually
alternatively, 999 was one of the few to survive the blight, making the blight happy and wanting to create happiness rather than destruction. The goo joined with it, and together they grew to encompass entire continents.
The Black Moon howled…then it roared, and the whole world felt it’s fury and crumbled into its shadow of eternal night.
I feel i should execute a Thaumaturgic Ritual to remove this post...
“Soul of the Mind, key to life’s ether. Soul of the Lost, withdrawn from its vessel. Let strength be granted so the world might be mended, so the world might be mended.”
*cue tears and mucus filled with blood*
Just wait until the Black Moon goes to Taco Bell. Then we'll really be in trouble.
By my command seal, I order you:
Shit yourself, Black Moon.
Battery 20% , 1 hour of scp video left. The race is on.
who won?
@@cade-music The battery won. The battery finished first 😂.
They hadn't contained the howling moon, they had contained humanity.
This man, is the most consistent and best sound SCP reader out here, I remember 5-6 years ago when he did these "small" 20 minute videos. This channel has seen such an immense growth in quality and following. Love that for him ❤️
I agree
I listened to my first scp here, or maybe it was TheVolgun, on scp 5000 anyways, and for some reason the original video that got me into this, I can't find it, it had more info and more openly talked about what they are fighting against, which was the Holy Sprit, now I'm not into Mandela effects, but I find it highly odd that I can't find it, nor others who made long form videos containing any even near similar narrative or info. I'll have to check out the original file myself and read it over to see if there's been a reality shift.
Sorry for sharing that, but since it is right up our alley, I couldn't resist. This is good stuff, I came around to this just to find out what my then step kids were into. Granted what they were watching was absolutely mind numbing, I went on to finding the wiki read the about section, cleared my watch and search history, typed scp, saw SCP-5000: Why, and said why not, this hooked my love for sci-fi, and really appreciated the teenage gamer cthulu after coming from HorrorBabble.
@@TheBearInTheChair nah man, you're goodz no worries. I remember that in rougher times I would use his video's as a marker for making through another week.
His consistency is almost... anomalous
The whole "It's your duty to you and your loved ones to take yourselves out" thing and the moon reminds me of some TH-cam series where the moon was alive and against humanities existence (I think, it is an Eldritch Horror and therefore may not have known, but if I remember correctly the moon was upset someone was observing it).
Local58
@@wolfblood5596 yeah that's the one!
Sounds like Hellstar Remina by Junji Ito
"Does the Black Moon howl?"
Yes, when it's being bludgeoned to death by an ashtray
This is definitely one of the most philosophically interesting SCP's I have come across
Yes! And I like how they avoided the trope of the AI being evil. It literally only did what they asked, making their actions even more frightening. They didn't do these things before only because they didn't think of it.
@applepie explosion I saw a video on TH-cam on a different channel discussing the effectiveness of various movie AIs. AUTO from WALL-E ended up being the winner, because it wasn’t “evil” or “taking revenge on humanity.” It was literally just doing what it was programmed to do - and not being human, took it in directions that ended up being horrifying and detrimental to humanity.
@@HalfLight333 another really good example! The interesting horror that comes from AI villains like those is they're literally just our wants being fulfilled at any cost. Its a way to show how horrible some of your initial desires can be. Or show how little we thought out the things we ask for.
This tale sounds like a fusion of two scp 001 proposal but rather then ending like one it has a hopeful end with humanity surviving (to an extent) in the end.
The weekly SCP content here is the best way to start my week.
Same!!!!
Local58 🤝 SCP-7070
Moon-related problems
The black moon turned precious peanut butter SCP-999 into a dangerous monster. _I'll never forgive the black moon!_
Would say the same to blood moons and a woman named Moon Butterfly.
Edit: Oh, and the Nixonverse's own moon with the Lunarians and that universe's fudging God.
Was looking to see if anyone else got that connection
I like the whole premise of "The Foundation sweeps the apocalypse under the rug via amnesticization and forced simulation of normalcy." but the idea of the anomaly itself could've been more fleshed out to make sense. I dunno, maybe like an anomalous mutation of the moon and the release of a virulent pathogen whose properties match the one of an infovore. It consumes information and releases more of itself into the host, which could be both a human and a computer.
Yeah, they mention at some point that the creation of ORACLE could have caused the Black Moon event, but they never really dig into how or the significance of that.
When things started off with the SCP database getting flooded with hundreds of junk entries every day, I was expecting some kind of meta commentary on how the wiki was better before it got so big. I suppose you could still see it that way if you want.
Does that mean the O5 Council needs to sit down and have a meeting on the current state of the wik- I mean Foundation and whether or not it need to continue?
@@xavierwalsh6045 More articles means more bad and good. Skip the bad ones.
@@barretprivateer8768 Oh I 100 percent agree and been with the foundation since the beginning. I was just being snarky.
There have been a few articles about that. A lot of the "patophysical" trend was metacommentary on the quality and volume of recent SCP entries.
I prefer not having the voice visualizer as it makes it harder for me to appreciate the art which is usually a good conduit to imagine the kind of tone and imagery of the SCP at hand. Regardless, good work, always happy to see you upload. :)
Agreed, or transition from art to static screens with the visualizer if it has to stay.
Do you just stare at the screen lmao
@@Grazzmazzium is that an argument for the visualizer?
In my opinion, axe the visualizer. As the opening commentor said, it's in the way of the art that TES uses.
This isn't a music video, I think the visualizer is dumb.
@@zapan9643 it's not for or against it I'm just baffled that some people literally just stare at the screen when the video is focused on the audio and the imaginary images that you produce in your own head
@@Grazzmazzium @Jonathan D I'm speaking for myself here. The art helps me visualize and as I'm not a native english speaker I sometimes watch the video with closed captions so I am able to understand what is being said a little better, especially true when I can't concentrate and when I'm watching the video for the first time.
That's my opinion anyway.
I think the visualizer or audiospectrogram or weth you call it works in music videos BUT if it has to stay, I say make it more subtle. (Wink wink, Mangg. I still love u even if I'm not for the visualizer
I find it interesting how the higher the number gets, the more SCP objects just become SCP fanfiction. I mean, I'm a huge fan of The Exploring Series, so things like this are great for these fun, longform videos.
Funny, but in a weird way its always been fanfiction. Yes you dont need a world ending meta narrative pages long to make an scp... but... this isnt the point. The point is people enjoy the writing
@@velnz5475 yeah, like the longform of most these scp over hollywood movies these days.
SCP is ALL fanfiction you weirdo
i had a bad dream last night that you released a 1 and half minute scp video im glad to wake up and see that its over an hour long
I like to take deep dives into stuff occasionally and that requires depth. I think you do too, seeing SCP and 40k as common interests. I really do appreciate these long form entries.
Yeah luetin09s a banga
so here's a nice story:
saw this in my next up,
was reminded of "Amarantine" by Enya,
decided to search for it for a quick listen before coming back to this,
didn't remove the "h",
search autocomplete returned "amaranthine cover", clicked one
heard a stunning chorus,
decided to listen to the original song,
now i'm a fan of the band amaranthe.
serendipitous.
The internet is incredible isn't it?
Between an anomaly virus that could affect even people (like the prime minister who talked about the black moon), the foundation deciding that the best thing they have is to make an AI that connects and is powered by the knowledge of EVERYONE in the foundation, and said AI going pretty hardcore of trying to leave nothing but the foundation, halfway through I was pretty much expecting them to try turning it off and the article ending with "And now we all howl together" .... kind of glad I was wrong.
Holy shit, even during a full on world ending scenario... the foundation still hides in the shadows, so we can *try* to live in the light... man that council standing up to the one took major testicular fortitude.... Respect!
The size of those lady balls is astounding
For a moment let's enjoy the fact that humanity went from fearing the Peanut to worshipping them.
Praise be.
There really is nothing better than waking up and seeing you uploaded an hour-long video. Thank you for making me appreciate mondays again! :)
the only thing better is when is an hour long video that says "part 1"
I have nothing but love for the work you put in
I love that you're reading newer articles. I like that everyone is able to get a sense of how the wiki has evolved over the years.
Compilation episodes about a certain type of skip are probably my favorite though, I'd love to have another one of those.
Can you please consider exploring SCP-1965? It’s about a ham radio and it’s dedicated to one of my instructors who is a ham radio god. I actually sent him the read and he enjoyed it.
yessss. you are literally the only channel i have ever been excited regularly and actually await every upoad. like i dont care about youtube or media in generall, bur whenever the exploring series uploads on a monday im looking forwar to it for the entire week. thank you so much :)
Same here it comes out at about the exact same time I'm getting ready for bed
This reminds me of SCP 001: a good boy.
Also, this story could almost be the mirror image of 7004: Insane wailing and feral. It's was to imagine the administrator sending the victims of the Black Moon to another universe but having it corrupted by the Black Moon goo.
These videos really help make the bus ride so much better.
Been sick for two weeks straight and this is exactly what i needed ♥️ also i think i said this before but i love how much you pay attention to your fanbase and even if its something simple, like keeping the waveform, its really nice when you know youre being heard. Thank you for all your great work Mister Mangg!
You make the most excellent SCP videos alongside the volgun and SCP illustrated. Keep it up love the vids
Mondays are really rough for me, and knowing I can put you on for my morning commute always uplifts me. I wish I could contribute more than a like & comment right now. Thank you for being out there.
Liking the visualizer on top of the art. Excited for another hour of SCPs.
I wonder if he's considered using the new AI art generators. I mean, there have to be a lot of SCPs where it would be really useful to be able to just ask the computer to provide you the art you need.
@@jesseberg3271 their usually quite buggy and bad at things like scp
Hmm, how buggy?
this is how i like to spend my study hall listening to this and doing work
Isn't "Does the black moon howl?" A secret code to identify whether or not someone is a imposter, in the scp universe
Hey! I'm one of the authors of this article. The phrase originated in an old SCP written in 2008, which is still on the site as SCP-257-ARC. I tried commenting and leaving a link to it, but I think youtube deleted it - you'll be able to find it with a google though. Since then, the phrase, and the idea of the black moon, have been interpreted by many different authors in many different ways! Tanhony's second 001 proposal is an especially interesting article about it.
@@dysadron3909 You didn't answer the question, rude.
@osirisgem Question must be answered by the reader, or the horror comes out all premature and ineffectual.
I am LOVING that you have been releasing hour long videos back to back!!!!
LETS FUCKING GO NOT ONLY DO I WAKE UP FROM MY FIRST EVER DREAM IN A DREAM, BUT IN TIME FOR A NEW TES VID AAAAAAAND HE BROUGHT BACK THE VISUALISER, im so happy rn
Not only do I like the visualizer over the art, but I *love* the color of the visualizer. Thanks for your content, it's a highlight to my week.
Every time I come onto one of your videos it is one of the most interesting pieces of work I’ve seen in months
I thought I wouldn’t catch up to the SCP videos so fast yet here I am waiting for a new video
I'll suggest TheVolgan. He reads it as written, but you're familiar with the lore if you're this deep in.
@@justinsmith5870 I just started watching TheVolgun about a week ago and I’m loving it, thank you for the suggestion
i love these videos. one thing id like to see again is quotes at the end of the video that encapsulate the theme, or are directly linked to the article. it’s a very minor thing but i would like to see it again
Ya baby! Bed time and boom, new Exploring Series SCP vid!
The idea of using a hydraulic press to neutralize Scp-173 is amazing
LMAO WTF
Then they set it on fire too lol
I love this channel so much. it is the perfect content for cooking along and just laying down. Thanks for yet another awesome reading.
Goddamn, the O-5 Council started to behave so ridiculously halfway through.
love falling asleep to these because i can do it with the same video for like a whole week bc i wont remember a damn word until i watch it during the day
Won't you open the sky for me?
Seriously feeling flavours of Stray here - sealed cities, environmental disaster, controlling computers, and a final struggle in the end to break free of that false salvation, that gilded captivity.
Strive for a purpose, strive for a home.
Another fantastic video by the exploring series. Probably my favorite content creator. Thank you for all your hard work.
Seriously the best way to end my workweek. Monday morning is my Friday night. I love this, really makes you think.
Brilliant as always. As for the vocal visualisation, I liked the artwork but it's your choice ultimately so do what you wish. May I ask you a Q. as to something you may have worked on? It's the demo for "Go Home Annie" that's been out for a short while and the full game is TBC: Did you do the voice for the "Guy on The Intercom"? It sounds a great deal like you but it'd be fun to know.
Take care & great job as always! I like to think that possibly the Super AI may have had more to do with this than is explored... Never can know at the near end of the world though 😉
Really like this new voice visualizer, makes it relaxing and love the transitions
You def earned a subscriber and more to come.
I wonder if Dr. Bright and Dr. Clef had survived this.
Now thats a Birthday Gift
And a Monday Gift
A double Gift 😆
"Pain will last as long as you are alive"
Damn, the new death metal album sounds dope!
I feel like in the end SCP-2000 would somehow be the ultimate solution to this scenario.
And even though it's dated in the future, this is actually a past event.
Then again, in my head canon, this is how I reconcile most future-dated SCPs.
During one of the 05s speeches she mentions Yellowstone is "screaming crater."
That lunar site transmission reminds me of that classic youtube video where it's an emergency broadcast telling people to not look at the moon.
I didn't catch that! Man, Local 58 is such a cool channel.
I'm not sure about the way of going to create an SCP wiki. But I was listening to somebody taught the other day and something I thought would be pretty cool the SCP triple zero social media a cognitive and memetic hazard. Meant to calls chaos and destruction by spreading information that is partially true not true misinformation. Cuz it's some days feels like social media is an SCP
I like hearing about Black Moon from time to time. I know it is something spreading all over scpwiki but i still didnt push myself to read all about it. I like hearing things in articles like that, conecting to each other. Not just like mentioning 173 but actualy KNOWING that the Black Moon Is something big. Its almost like the Scarlet King. Just love it
I’m glad this was a standalone instead of a 001 proposal
Thank you for the awesome content, I hope your channel continues to grow!
If acquiring information about the anomalous is this dangerous the wanderer’s library is horrifying in this universe
While all this is happening, the administrator is chilling in a bar practicing quickswapping shotguns
The Black Moon howls for something that we should define as a relief or anything good, you have the Black Moon based on how you raise the decency words in order to be considerate and kind towards humanity.
That was really great. I do like the waveform but I also miss just having the pictures. I was expecting just the audio based SCP from a few weeks ago to have it and then it would go back to not having it. It seemed like it fit for that story.
Anyways, either way I love these. They're always so great to listen to.
This was a pretty interesting article. It had a lot of moral dilemmas and it's thought provoking.
Well done T E S i love playing theese vids Thank you
Pretty nice background visual man
The dark colour makes this even better for my insomnia💓💓
Much love for your videos
love watching these videos early in the morning before school and late at night
Whenever the foundation is given enough power the result is always nerve stapling
A Thaumaturgic IT Ritual.
Basically post-it notes with motivational sayings stuck all over the computer monitors.
"Hang in there, Baby!"
:D
This reminds me a lot of 4156, although that article is a lot more personal and intimate. It's also much less conclusive- the foundation doesn't dissolve itself, it just ends the social reconstruction efforts. Still, it's an interesting quandary in both articles, and I'm glad to have heard about this one here!
Love the new video format and really always in awe and appreciation of the way you break down and tell stories.
One of the best channels on here by a mile.
Love the dark blue on the visualizer looks amazing 💙
This wensday i am going to a consert of a band called Amaranthe, who have a song called Amaranthine...
Any updates on your The Dunwich video? It's a shame TH-cam's system automatically removed it for copyright, despite it being in the public domain!
Happy birthday to me thanks for making videos!
Timely, this tale about the Black Moon, considering the upcoming Nov. 8 lunar eclipse as of this video's release.
999 went down trying to save as many as it could. Goodest monster.
Cadian "...the recycling of matter, through expired civilians" is a really long way of say 'You got some Corpse Starch,' mate.
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this.
"We'll have to see how that works out."
_sensible chuckle_
My headcanon for this is that the blight itself is a byproduct of what happens when SCP-447 got mixed with dead bodies.
also, its hurts my heart that SCP-999 probably got into that everlasting scream state when it tried to save as many people as possible before getting infected with the blight, screaming because it feels guilty bcoz of what happened.
Tha k u so much for posting this rn
Oh look, it's another meta-SCP about the foundation itself.
You'd think that by number SEVEN THOUSAND, they'd have founded its own foundation just to handle everything wrong with the foundation, considering just how much of themselves is tangled up in the whole mess.
The ai had literally convinced them to launch the hypno-drones so to speak, but it was somehow not deviating from its designer's intentions? I was expecting a strait up roko's basilisk moment.
thanks for the consistent upload. this is how I know it's monday.
definitely enjoyed this outcome, the HAL 9000/Skynet route for AI in fiction has really started to feel phoned in. let the AI go nuts, sure, but blatant evil autonomy is a bit of a tired trope at this point.
reject oracle, embrace blightlands
a wonderful musing on freewill.
thank you for not skipping anything good.
really thought this was gonna be a roko's basilisk type thing at first (eg turns out the AI time travelled into the past and caused the moon anomaly in order to ensure it would be built)
"Pain will last only for as long as you are alive"
So is this part of howling moon bit where the administrator is locked away
The Foundation managed to contain the Scarlet King once again
oooo the vocal tracker visual is a nice touch, seeing your voice is cool!!
You know, with the testing of the documents, I wonder if they ever just tested, letting an article exist on the site, and seeing what happened. Like they corrupt other documents yeah, but maybe something would've happened if they'd let it just do it's thing. Perhaps it would 'stabilise' in some way. Something they could've tried, at least, with nothing else working.
