Here Be Dragons is one of the most thematically depressing and somber SCPs, in a pretty subtle way. Sure the deaths of a whole species of fantastical beings who truly loved us as a species and civilization is really sad, but there is a second layer of gut punching feelings in it. The dragons died because of us forgetting them. For the general public rejecting the idea of the fantastical, magical and supernatural in order to embrace science and logic. People ignored the anomalous, and the anomalous disappeared. Now looking at it from what the Foundation's role is. They die in the dark of the unexplained so we can live in the light of reason. While the Foundation seems to be ineffectual in the SCP, just a mere observer, behind the scenes the Foundation is one of the groups who actively killed fantasy, for the good of the many. The Foundation's role in the world is to keep the horrors of the unreasonable and the anomalous away from the public. But as Here Be Dragons shows, it also means taking away the love and the wonder of Fantasy from us.
In a way, the foundation is semi-responsible for this, if less SCP's were contained, belief in mythology would rise, or even if they were willing to disclose information about this magical box to the public, but, of course, they never would do that. Because the Foundation was so damn efficient in containing, locking things up, weakening, a universe powered by belief wilted and died. It wouldn't be the first time the Foundations goals, through ignorance or lack of interest, caused a genocide.
@@jakespacepiratee3740 Don't compare the Foundation to the GOC. The foundation works on the basis of the greater good, SCP-1762 had to be forgotten as a result of many other great and dangerous anomalies could be contained. Meanwhile the GOC tried to throw a sentient chair that only wanted to give people a seat into a wood chipper and gave it PTSD because, "All anomalies must be neutralised."
@@derptube2148 I wasn't trying to say the Foundation are evil, they definitely aren't as bad as the GOC, but there have been actual times they have caused a genocide, probably not as frequently as the GOC, but they've done it. Check out SCP-2750: th-cam.com/video/LECK3YrFnEw/w-d-xo.html
What I found truly depressing is that they just totally destroyed any chance of getting any sort of salvation from they’re seemingly most terrible world and thereby dooming themselves to eternal loneliness and despair in a world without imagination and happiness...just like ours seemingly is about to do. If you’ve read about the plague doctor or scp - 94 (probably not but something like that) this might be the great disease which he was talking about...the total and utter lack of imagination, completely destroying any reason other than to survive for us to live.
I know there's an SCP that's a book that sends its readers consciousness into a vast fantasy world and puts them on an adventure where they are the hero, they can literally live there for decades with only a few hours passing in the real world. The only problem is that people who did spend entire decades in that wonderful fantasy world tend to commit suicide once they get brought back to reality.
Water Bears I cannot, as I do not posess the power of creating anomalous objects. But if I need to be precise, in this day and age fantasy and the fantastical are so loved and widespread that those dragons should have no problem in returning. Although I may disapprove the idea of a giant fire-breathing lizard making its nest on my rooftop.
If The Foundation would have just leaked a TH-cam video of the box producing flying Dragon Origami the Belief may likely have been restored enough to stop this tragedy from happening.
Maybe, but I think that we as humans have a tendency to try and make everything make sense, everything has to fit in a nice little box of understanding, I think if a video WERE released, most folks would have just...called it a fake, hell, I think I myself would have...
@@martijnalblas1761 children could've been our/their/our(?) salvation in the end, even if each child only believed it for a little while, that fraction of a time might've been enough ...
Belief is a powerful thing. Believing in something, no matter how absurd, can make it real. Maybe not as flesh and blood, stone and steel, but as thought and soul. Believe in their return and it will happen, one way or another.
What man doesn't understand he fears, what man fears he seeks to destroy. IF we r mad in a mad gods image, that God kills indescrimately and so do for no creatures under God r so like him as ourselves. We r death, we r destruction. 687 is right to hate all human life, we're the true monsters
Researcher: "Doctor, the box is asking for help again..." Doctor: "??? Screw that box! I can't kill people with it! Now, let's see if ol' Shy Guy will kill a blind kid...!"
I literally just bawled my eyes out listening to the description of this SCP. I’m writer and love fantasy and fiction more than anything and the idea of it dying and never coming back is depressing as hell. It’s one of the things that keeps me sane and the thought of it leaving me breaks my heart.
Had an idea for a story. A researcher, once part of this SCP, decides to make an attempt to bring it back. He takes the ashes to a creature of unknowable innocence and love, SCP 999. 999, being the seed of an incomprehensible evil creature, but being made of pure goodness, touches the ashes and a new box is formed from the ashes. An ornate box, shiny and golden. It opens the room is flooded with origami dragons. The door is flung open by pursuers of the researcher, only for the dragons to flood the site. Powered the hope and dreams of SCP 999, a being a pure good and innocence, the other world is more powerful than ever, reviving it anew. There’s obviously more details I’d want included, but honestly I just made this out of my desire for some fluff, and odds are I’ll never actually write the story. The SCP universe is filled with destruction and hate, surely it wouldn’t be too far fetched for a world to be brought back from destruction thanks to the hopes of a single man a good blobby boy, right?
A bittersweet tale, but absolutely one of your best videos so far. Have you considered narrating SCP-1230? That's another excellent story that's pretty close to this one. Cheers my friend keep up the phenomenal work, I've never understood the SCP's so well before
MetallicaMan76 its a story that brings a feeling sadness and i almost cried restrained myself though because my sister was there and i dont like crying in front of her because she loves me and does not like when im sad
Ive read 1762 once. I could never read orwatch or hear its story again. I was so sad. Hardly anything on the internet or in media ever brought me to tears. 1762 is one, if not the only one, who ever got me to cry. Its so beautifull yet so sad. And its end is so final.... Everything in scp seems eternal. Or so powerfull youre glad its gone, but stilltge dread remains. 1762 makes me wish its still here. If for any scp being the reason i wished the scp world was real its this one. The though that those dragons lighten up the life of the people they could makes it worth to me to have entities who are so beyond powerfull even cuthulu would shot his pants. Even if eventually, its no longer where dragons are, but where they were....
This SCP makes me question the Foundation whole mission. If it wasn't for them pulling a veil of secrecy over everything fantastical, maybe people would still believe in fantasy.
Not all SCPs are good in terms of writing lol Besides, there's multiple writers with specific intents and directions surrounding it, so a few to many plotholes and narrative dissonance are bound to happen, it's an open source fictions hence the directions can be even less consistent than bad official franchises
@@69Kazeshini well...given what we gleam from 3000... and the Mariana Trench files, and similar evidence that all point towards proving an existence of a much greater than perceived influence, a significant pull Foundation has to sway this world, although only seems to use to keep the peace and balance for humanity's greater good, but a greater good as they see it, a status quo...which is ultimately complacency and unpreparedness... In fact many of their own files prove that either the Serpent's Hand or even the Church of The Broken God, apparently waging a war for our salvation across the multiverse, albeit their conclusion, their solution against potential outcomes being either total annihilation of life in the universe or at least of life on Earth, or the madness like states of existence that might take over here as they did within other universes means(for them a necessity of a sacrifice, in form of) literal replacement of and stripping of the ever corruptible flesh...which is I suppose true enough...And if we ever get to see that mechanistic paradise of a universe we're apparently locked out of...well, who knows, even the other factions(save the Sarkics of course) might agree with this "Church's" teachings...
I come back to this one every few months thinking.. maybe this time it won't hurt so much.. but the "we are sad, we love you, we will not forget you.. we are scared, will you forget us?" breaks my heart so much
I wonder what it would’ve taken to save fantasy? Proximity to an individual of pure belief? Written creative fiction set in the fantasy? A new coat of artsy paint in the cell? Maybe it means establishing then as mythology to children in the same way Santa Claus is? And who is the master?
The thing is you cant save it. A fantasy lives only with its creator. You can pass it on, but it will never be the same. Think of any fantasy story you had. Now think of how much detail you just intrinsicly know and it would take retelling your entire life and all the thoughts you ever had to someone for them to come anywhere close to an understanding of that fantasy of yours. Thats ultimativly while the dragons passed on. It wasnt cause they lost a battle in a world. Its cause that fantasy passed on. That fantasy died. And noone, not even the original creator as they have changed by now too (like a child having grown up), can stop it from happening. Just like you cant stop a book from reaching its last page...
This hurts so much to bought lissen to and read. It made me so sad to read about the last battleworn dragon coming out of the box. the dragons seemed to curius and happy to excplore our world.
As someone who has loved dragons their entire life, this story led me to tears. Not just, the idea that dragons are dying but the truth that fantasy tends to die away. My own fantasy tends to die away, especially when I fear "bothering", "annoying", or "becoming a nuisance to" others. However, there is hope. "One last time." It is the hope, that any fear or doubt of embracing our imagination can fade away, and then the dragons can return.

My kid told me about this during hardcore quarantine 2020, when they were doing their 7th grade year, via-virtual learning. Which is right after he read it, and at the end of what I suppose you can think of as our transitional bridge years from childhood to whatever it is to becoming a teenager, and this is a kid who grew up loving the Wings of Fire series in elementary school, and playing Warcraft with us during Legion. But as the adults were squawking over loot, our kid was the only one in our raid to notice a human form ghostlike Ysera ,walk quietly into a cave at the end of the Emerald Nightmare.
@@nonamejustbecause You could still fit a hand or a finger in it, I mean who knows of its magical bullshit property (etc; you could be sucked into it or sumthing), they haven't tested out of trying out any ideas of fitting into the box
I do feel like the author could have written some experimentation into the article, even if it didn't get the Foundation anywhere. Why didn't the Foundation try writing a message on paper, dropping it into the box, then closing it to see if they get the message? Or try asking simple yes/no questions by asking them to walk left if the answer is yes and right if the answer is no?
Every once in a while I come back to this video or the wiki page desperately searching for something new. Something that maybe, just possibly, will tell us the dragons are back. Along with the elves and the giants. Something that says our room has grown to a thick jungle full of leaves and vines. Every time I come back I try to believe in the dragons but it’s hard when you’ve grown up being told that our world is reality and there is no other. When I was a child I desperately wanted to be special. To have some special prophecy written about myself. Slowly through the years my belief in fantasy was smothered. Maybe one day I can truly believe. Maybe one day we can bring back the dragons.
Create a parallel universe where there’s a memetic hazard that makes people believe in them. Then visit said universe... somehow, and see the dragons in their full forms.
this broke my heart to listen to. I understood right away what was happening and as it went on I felt so absolutely helpless to do anything. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Ouch, this... this just hurts. Something about this just feels all too real, especially for people like me who tend to believe that things accused of being fantasy had realistic counterparts. Our ancestors told us of dragons, some massive, some feathered, some bearded, some small and some bald. Others had long horns, wings or extra legs, but they were said to all come from the same family. Today we dig up bones of creatures we decided to call dinosaurs, plesiosaurs and pterosaurs. But insist that humanity never witnessed them walking. Old tales of giants as big as a house can be recounted by the fireside. Some were friendly, others clumsy, others hostile and cannibalistic. But today, once again, all we find are the bones of these large humans that used to live with us. The ogre has been reduced to the Sasquatch, the trolls to stone. The naturalistic Elves became myth or musician and the skilled Dwarves came to be regarded as diseased. The wizards and witches became our chemists, pharmacists, psychiatrists and illusionists. Fact became fable, magic morphed into science, mystery was erased, and rationality replaced wonder. There still exists the unexplained, the unknown, the heavenly and the paranormal. But now we mock it, hide from it and fear it instead of embrace and adapt to it. We accuse the fantastic to be fictional, and call miracles of healing "biological anomalies". Say what you will about the past, preach about how terrible a time it was and how our race has grown only more advanced. But when wonder dies, so does the need for understanding. When knowledge is mandatory, curiosity is murdered. When death is cured, life is taken for granted. The advancements made by the human race are mostly amazing and beneficial, but our attitude towards the world as a culture has overwhelmingly become more cynical and condescending. We are forced to absorb knowledge we never need, or are forbidden from/rejected for discussing facts and philosophy if they contradict culture depending on where you live. Life as a human being hasn't gotten worse, nor has it truly gotten better. It is simply a more advanced way of being the same. ... I did not expect to be provoked into a rant by an SCP video today.
*interesting fact: a lot of "giant bones" were found to be bear bones. which were dug up and re-buried with honors and gifts, mostly in antiquity where they were though to be heroes and demigods. I really like to imagine walking, talking bears chilling pre-roman empire because I can. you know, a bear probably gave the inspiration for the story of Achilles and Troy. there is fantasy when you let yourself soak in the stories around you. in the growth of a pet or a plant, the bustling of strangers in a busy street, the night sky when it's clear and crisp, the knowledge that we are made of stars and in our hearts beat the beats of the beginning of the universe. the wonder just changed form. most just take the amazing for granted, as you said. but I don't think that knowledge kills curiosity, or that rationality and mystery can't coexist. if "magic" didn't exist there wouldn't be scientists, or artists trying to understand or celebrate it. just businessmen trying to profit off of it.
Be careful about getting angry with humanity; realize (with a grain of salt - I admit I am spouting hearsay and I barely remember where I heard it from) that a lot of the world's first scientists did it explicitly as an act of respecting God (the Christian one - yea, renaissance was largely a European thing :P), uncovering the extent of "His" worldly design. Plenty of such scientists quickly realized, however, that they began discovering God out of the realm of possibility - there just wasn't room left for fantasy, at least, for genuine belief in it. So, in this sense, 1762's demise was an inevitability; as physics and astronomy prove that godly creation would, if it happened at all, scarcely resemble the biblical Genesis, and as biology dates our closest dragon equivalents to millions, even billions of years ago, it quickly becomes apparent that our world just.. isn't as wonderful. ..huh, isn't that a thought. We're getting bored of our own knowledge, just as you might grow bored of a video game after the first or second playthrough. How fitting.
Im just picturing a story where a kid who was able to travel to the world of dragons grew up and just outgrew the fantasies he once had as a kid and thus leaving the box to be forgotten. Hits right in the feels
I literally stopped everything I was doing because NEW EXPLORING THE SCP FOUNDATION VIDEO B*TCHES! I seriously love your videos man. The SCP series especially. Thank you dude! thank you for bringing so many people amazing content. Don't ever underestimate how loved and revered your stuff is. You should be proud my dude, I wish I could pull off such compelling, fascinating videos - with no sponsor too.
I’ve read and listened to this file so many times. It somehow instills a feeling of dread and desperation, even though it’s a fan written article on a wiki.
What I understood: they (fantasy world inhabitants) and us (humans) are mutually dependent of each other - one cannot exist without the other. For us to exist, they have to believe, we exist. For them to exist, we have to believe, they exist. We're both like gods to each other - we, and them, decide, if them, or us, should even exist. This here gets terryfying. Since we've stopped believing in their existence - their very existence, and their world, begins to crumble and collapse. What follows: since they will be gone - our world will collapse as well, since they can no longer believe, that we exist, because they no longer exist. Yeah, we've just doomed ourselves. Congrats humanity!
This is truly heartbreaking. At least when the box said, “Here Were Dragons,” the box is still intact, and there is still hope that we might one day believe enough to see them again. Once it turns to dust, the connection is broken, and all hope of seeing and loving any being from Fantasy or Fantasy itself is lost forever.
@@sethleoric2934 (gross sobbing) Dude there was this time he met the Toei Spider-Man actor in his suit and Stan held out his arms to hug him and said "my son!" and every time I remember that now I get all sad
This reminds me of that one spongebob episode where spongebob and patrick had a cardboard box and they went inside it and created a fantasy world using their imagination but when squirdward opened the box all he saw were the two just sitting in there laughing and playing. Maybe the "Room" referred to in the story is a kid's room, a kid who really liked dragons and had all sorts of dragon figures and picture on his walls or maybe even just pictures of fantasy stuff. The "Family" could be the kid's family and could either be fantasy story writers or origami makers (which would explain why they were supposed to be creative) And maybe the kid used to play in the box using his imagination and he made this fantasy world inside of this box, and to him it seemed real and that gave meaning to the box and probably it the way it is
SCP-1762 is one of the many victims of the Collateral Damage of humanity leaving our caves and fires to bring light to a dark dangerous world. In doing so many worlds bathed in light and safe now find themselves in unrelenting darkness and turmoil their denizens find their once safe caves collapsing around them and their fires waiver. Great work with these SCP's keep it up!
Sometimes light blinds and burns... as LS would point out, clearly Serpent's Hand is a more friendly organisation to be a part of, like druids and (balance of)nature witches... SCP acting as wizards and sorcerers in this metaphor, while GOC's acting out their dreams of knighthood as dangerous and on occasion cunning paladins, Chaos Insurgency being almost literally warlocks, (MC&D are of course the almost titular deathless merchants(of London(?)), Sarkics acting as outright necromancers and mad demonologists...the seducing darkness to the Church's(of the Broken God) blinding light as the LS (of Serpent's Hand) put it...claiming humanity will need to collectively "walk in the twilight between" aware and wise of dangers and potentials ...I've yet to level an analogy to Daevites and a few other remaining factions, and notable individuals, any clues..?
Let me say I have been watching a lot of your videos. Before, they were great it was nice and I was learning a lot. But there was something about THIS video, THIS specific SCP that made me not only listen and understand. I really FEEL, I recognize and feel more with this than any other scp I've heard of so far. THANK YOU so much sir. You have my sub and my eternal gratitude.
I seriously listen to this whenever I'm having even the slightest of writer's block. It might take me years to get any of these books published, but I'll freaking do it. For the dragons, damn it!
There isnt a sentence that describes the tragedy of growing up, and loosing so much creativity and imagination (at least some of us) , than the sentence "here where Dragons". Its why i write Fanfiction, though one could make a good argument that im too old for it. Because sometimes, every once in a while, for just an evening, there are dragons again.
This is what got me I to SCP’s... my favorite of them all. Along with the WIZARD DOLL. It gets me every time. I wanna make a short film about this. They should make a series they sure have a shit ton of SCP’s for thousands of episodes!
This SCP is so sad and beautiful... it reminds me "the neverending story" you know, fantasia and the nothingness... I wonder if the autor of this SCP was thinking on fantasia and it's tragedy. Man, I love your channel! Thanks for reminding us that here be dragons :')
We.... I... Look what we've done. These dragons and hybrids loved us to death. So much so you could feel the hopeless hope in the letters and some person, somewhere, somehow... Let it get this far. They "Grew up"? No they LEFT a part of themselves behind and broke hearts. Believe in something enough and it's real? Then real Giants died. Elves. Dragons. They died WAITING for us in that world and one individual has to make the choice that we were a lost cause to them and rally who was left alive too run and flee. Even when they were abandoned they destroyed the room so no harm would come to us. Exiled us from their new Haven scared and abandoned. For their own survival. This is the power of imagination and this is what we did with it. Created something and left it behind. Broke it's heart and it died alone and scared. Goddamn it. I'm crying.
I really hate humanity. I know my complete belief in dragons and all kinds of creatures wont be enough to make any kind of difference but I do know that my hatred of humans will never cease.
@Philip mcgrath oh I dont hate humans for not believing what I do. I hate humans for the crap they pull. Killing each other over petty nonsense like religion and politics. The constant divide and the refusal to unite as one. I've been called a communist, globalist scum just because I'd like to see all of humanity united as one.
By far my favorite scp. While I love dragons, as well as origami, yet the backstory really does hit home with the concept of belief and how age can change how we see/ believe.
- Damn, this is one of the saddest ones I've ever heard. Wish I could go to that Fantasy world, ours is so boring that only my cowardice keeps me from taking the midnight special ride out of this mortal coil. though I do want to see if I can live long enough for our race to reach the Singularity.
@AzurePrince your text drips with sarcasm like a toxic waste facility pipe, I'd recommend not coming on TH-cam and being a total not very cash money person unless u wanna fight with people
I can respect the many, many reasons people are drawn to the SCP wiki and its many articles. I'm a sucker for some of the items based around a good mystery, honestly. But the thing that makes me a fan of SCP is stuff like Where the Dragons Went, the stuff that just guts you and leaves you a blubbering wreck. You know you got something special when a setting known for its sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and action elements, for its consistent quality despite having a rather loose setting with no set canon, can deliver something like SCP-1762.
I feel like there could have been a few D-Class who they could "convince" to believe in fantasy or at least the dragons maybe that could have a effect on the SCP
I started bawling like a baby, I'm not gonna lie. As an artist as well as a practicer of magiks, this absolutely broke my heart. I feel the world has lost so much wonder as we loose our faith in the whimsical and fantastical. I think we as a species, we've lost something valuable in our push for the logical answer to everything. And I don't mean big scientific things, I mean things like faerie circles and elves, the magiks of the earth. We've lost something, I can't explain exactly what, but we've lost something special, a spark, a sense of connection, of wonder. Here were dragons, indeed

I literally just bawled my eyes out listening to the description of this SCP. I’m writer and love fantasy and fiction more than anything and the idea of it dying and never coming back is depressing as hell. It’s one of the things that keeps me sane and the thought of it leaving me breaks my heart.
Had an idea for a story. A researcher, once part of this SCP, decides to make an attempt to bring it back. He takes the ashes to a creature of unknowable innocence and love, SCP 999. 999, being the seed of an incomprehensible evil creature, but being made of pure goodness, touches the ashes and a new box is formed from the ashes. An ornate box, shiny and golden. It opens the room is flooded with origami dragons. The door is flung open by pursuers of the researcher, only for the dragons to flood the site. Powered the hope and dreams of SCP 999, a being a pure good and innocence, the other world is more powerful than ever, reviving it anew.
There’s obviously more details I’d want included, but honestly I just made this out of my desire for some fluff, and odds are I’ll never actually write the story.
The SCP universe is filled with destruction and hate, surely it wouldn’t be too far fetched for a world to be brought back from destruction thanks to the hopes of a single man a good blobby boy, right?
I’d love to write this story if you’re interested. Wouldn’t want to without your permission.
@@elenamiissvanguard4851 I second this, I hope he sees it and lets you write it
@@elenamiissvanguard4851 Well did you get to write it? I want to have a happy ending to this! I've been listening to this for like 4yrs now! :(
A bittersweet tale, but absolutely one of your best videos so far. Have you considered narrating SCP-1230? That's another excellent story that's pretty close to this one. Cheers my friend keep up the phenomenal work, I've never understood the SCP's so well before
I wish we know how to save fantasy rip dragons
MetallicaMan76 its a story that brings a feeling sadness and i almost cried restrained myself though because my sister was there and i dont like crying in front of her because she loves me and does not like when im sad
me: sees this story
starts hugging scp 999
me: its not working
Ive read 1762 once.
I could never read orwatch or hear its story again. I was so sad.
Hardly anything on the internet or in media ever brought me to tears.
1762 is one, if not the only one, who ever got me to cry.
Its so beautifull yet so sad.
And its end is so final....
Everything in scp seems eternal. Or so powerfull youre glad its gone, but stilltge dread remains.
1762 makes me wish its still here.
If for any scp being the reason i wished the scp world was real its this one.
The though that those dragons lighten up the life of the people they could makes it worth to me to have entities who are so beyond powerfull even cuthulu would shot his pants.
Even if eventually, its no longer where dragons are, but where they were....
*cough*
The Chuthulu Mythos (Lovecraft) are more powerful than SCP Universe
If you havent. give the volguns covering for here were dragons a listen i think you will find it worth the pain by the time its over.
Everytime he would say "the next time the box opened" I was like stop, its going to get worse and more depressing.
How is another dimension based on fantasy less believable than an indestructible reptile or extra dimensional horrors in the SCP universe.
This SCP makes me question the Foundation whole mission. If it wasn't for them pulling a veil of secrecy over everything fantastical, maybe people would still believe in fantasy.
Maybe it has to do with the amount of people who believe in them and the population of the foundation is not enough
"For the greater good" after all.
Not all SCPs are good in terms of writing lol
Besides, there's multiple writers with specific intents and directions surrounding it, so a few to many plotholes and narrative dissonance are bound to happen, it's an open source fictions hence the directions can be even less consistent than bad official franchises
@@69Kazeshini well...given what we gleam from 3000... and the Mariana Trench files, and similar evidence that all point towards proving an existence of a much greater than perceived influence, a significant pull Foundation has to sway this world, although only seems to use to keep the peace and balance for humanity's greater good, but a greater good as they see it, a status quo...which is ultimately complacency and unpreparedness...
In fact many of their own files prove that either the Serpent's Hand or even the Church of The Broken God, apparently waging a war for our salvation across the multiverse, albeit their conclusion, their solution against potential outcomes being either total annihilation of life in the universe or at least of life on Earth, or the madness like states of existence that might take over here as they did within other universes means(for them a necessity of a sacrifice, in form of) literal replacement of and stripping of the ever corruptible flesh...which is I suppose true enough...And if we ever get to see that mechanistic paradise of a universe we're apparently locked out of...well, who knows, even the other factions(save the Sarkics of course) might agree with this "Church's" teachings...
Man, why does it hurt when I hear this?
Maybe I'm weeping inside for the desire to return to a simpler time...
This is one of my favorite ones, it punches ya right in the heartstrings
Oof. My god this hit me so hard. I felt so bad for forgetting these guys, like we'd all betrayed them. What great writing.
Hey,um...does our family means mankind in general? And our imagination and beliefs affect "fantasy" ?
Yeah
Yeah thats what I got out of it
I think it was originally a person and their family. Family with kids.
I come back to this one every few months thinking.. maybe this time it won't hurt so much.. but the "we are sad, we love you, we will not forget you.. we are scared, will you forget us?" breaks my heart so much
I wonder what it would’ve taken to save fantasy? Proximity to an individual of pure belief? Written creative fiction set in the fantasy? A new coat of artsy paint in the cell? Maybe it means establishing then as mythology to children in the same way Santa Claus is? And who is the master?
I don't believe in santa i but i do still believe in the tooth fairy... One day... One day
I mean, the SCP Foundation is the place where people are most likely to believe in magic. Because... You know why.
The thing is you cant save it.
A fantasy lives only with its creator.
You can pass it on, but it will never be the same.
Think of any fantasy story you had. Now think of how much detail you just intrinsicly know and it would take retelling your entire life and all the thoughts you ever had to someone for them to come anywhere close to an understanding of that fantasy of yours.
Thats ultimativly while the dragons passed on.
It wasnt cause they lost a battle in a world. Its cause that fantasy passed on. That fantasy died.
And noone, not even the original creator as they have changed by now too (like a child having grown up), can stop it from happening.
Just like you cant stop a book from reaching its last page...

You wanna get meta? What if the scp IS an scp and that depressive feeling is a side effect
immensely.
This one is so amazing and heartwarming, and then it gets horribly depressing and heartbreaking, I wish this one was real.
This hurts so much to bought lissen to and read. It made me so sad to read about the last battleworn dragon coming out of the box.
the dragons seemed to curius and happy to excplore our world.
‘There were dragons when I was a boy..’
‘That was long ago’
As someone who has loved dragons their entire life, this story led me to tears. Not just, the idea that dragons are dying but the truth that fantasy tends to die away. My own fantasy tends to die away, especially when I fear "bothering", "annoying", or "becoming a nuisance to" others.
However, there is hope. "One last time." It is the hope, that any fear or doubt of embracing our imagination can fade away, and then the dragons can return.
this is far and away my favorite scp entry - it’s so pure and tragic and i wish more people knew about it
i saw the number and i knew it was time to cry
All because people don't believe in dragons anymore. So sad.

My kid told me about this during hardcore quarantine 2020, when they were doing their 7th grade year, via-virtual learning. Which is right after he read it, and at the end of what I suppose you can think of as our transitional bridge years from childhood to whatever it is to becoming a teenager, and this is a kid who grew up loving the Wings of Fire series in elementary school, and playing Warcraft with us during Legion.
But as the adults were squawking over loot, our kid was the only one in our raid to notice a human form ghostlike Ysera ,walk quietly into a cave at the end of the Emerald Nightmare.
Why can't they just send any personnel like the D-Class into the box???
It's a small box
Like really small
@@nonamejustbecause You could still fit a hand or a finger in it, I mean who knows of its magical bullshit property (etc; you could be sucked into it or sumthing), they haven't tested out of trying out any ideas of fitting into the box
True but the foundation can't risk causing any catastrophic events plus the dragons are friendly,the foundation doesn't want to hurt them
I do feel like the author could have written some experimentation into the article, even if it didn't get the Foundation anywhere. Why didn't the Foundation try writing a message on paper, dropping it into the box, then closing it to see if they get the message? Or try asking simple yes/no questions by asking them to walk left if the answer is yes and right if the answer is no?
This one actually made me cry
Every once in a while I come back to this video or the wiki page desperately searching for something new. Something that maybe, just possibly, will tell us the dragons are back. Along with the elves and the giants. Something that says our room has grown to a thick jungle full of leaves and vines. Every time I come back I try to believe in the dragons but it’s hard when you’ve grown up being told that our world is reality and there is no other. When I was a child I desperately wanted to be special. To have some special prophecy written about myself. Slowly through the years my belief in fantasy was smothered. Maybe one day I can truly believe. Maybe one day we can bring back the dragons.
as of 2023... nothing... :(
Create a parallel universe where there’s a memetic hazard that makes people believe in them. Then visit said universe... somehow, and see the dragons in their full forms.
this broke my heart to listen to.
I understood right away what was happening and as it went on I felt so absolutely helpless to do anything.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
me too :(
Ouch, this... this just hurts. Something about this just feels all too real, especially for people like me who tend to believe that things accused of being fantasy had realistic counterparts.
Our ancestors told us of dragons, some massive, some feathered, some bearded, some small and some bald. Others had long horns, wings or extra legs, but they were said to all come from the same family. Today we dig up bones of creatures we decided to call dinosaurs, plesiosaurs and pterosaurs. But insist that humanity never witnessed them walking.
Old tales of giants as big as a house can be recounted by the fireside. Some were friendly, others clumsy, others hostile and cannibalistic. But today, once again, all we find are the bones of these large humans that used to live with us.
The ogre has been reduced to the Sasquatch, the trolls to stone. The naturalistic Elves became myth or musician and the skilled Dwarves came to be regarded as diseased. The wizards and witches became our chemists, pharmacists, psychiatrists and illusionists.
Fact became fable, magic morphed into science, mystery was erased, and rationality replaced wonder.
There still exists the unexplained, the unknown, the heavenly and the paranormal. But now we mock it, hide from it and fear it instead of embrace and adapt to it. We accuse the fantastic to be fictional, and call miracles of healing "biological anomalies". Say what you will about the past, preach about how terrible a time it was and how our race has grown only more advanced. But when wonder dies, so does the need for understanding. When knowledge is mandatory, curiosity is murdered. When death is cured, life is taken for granted.
The advancements made by the human race are mostly amazing and beneficial, but our attitude towards the world as a culture has overwhelmingly become more cynical and condescending. We are forced to absorb knowledge we never need, or are forbidden from/rejected for discussing facts and philosophy if they contradict culture depending on where you live.
Life as a human being hasn't gotten worse, nor has it truly gotten better. It is simply a more advanced way of being the same.
... I did not expect to be provoked into a rant by an SCP video today.
*interesting fact: a lot of "giant bones" were found to be bear bones. which were dug up and re-buried with honors and gifts, mostly in antiquity where they were though to be heroes and demigods. I really like to imagine walking, talking bears chilling pre-roman empire because I can.
you know, a bear probably gave the inspiration for the story of Achilles and Troy. there is fantasy when you let yourself soak in the stories around you. in the growth of a pet or a plant, the bustling of strangers in a busy street, the night sky when it's clear and crisp, the knowledge that we are made of stars and in our hearts beat the beats of the beginning of the universe.
the wonder just changed form. most just take the amazing for granted, as you said. but I don't think that knowledge kills curiosity, or that rationality and mystery can't coexist.
if "magic" didn't exist there wouldn't be scientists, or artists trying to understand or celebrate it. just businessmen trying to profit off of it.
Be careful about getting angry with humanity; realize (with a grain of salt - I admit I am spouting hearsay and I barely remember where I heard it from) that a lot of the world's first scientists did it explicitly as an act of respecting God (the Christian one - yea, renaissance was largely a European thing :P), uncovering the extent of "His" worldly design. Plenty of such scientists quickly realized, however, that they began discovering God out of the realm of possibility - there just wasn't room left for fantasy, at least, for genuine belief in it. So, in this sense, 1762's demise was an inevitability; as physics and astronomy prove that godly creation would, if it happened at all, scarcely resemble the biblical Genesis, and as biology dates our closest dragon equivalents to millions, even billions of years ago, it quickly becomes apparent that our world just.. isn't as wonderful.
..huh, isn't that a thought. We're getting bored of our own knowledge, just as you might grow bored of a video game after the first or second playthrough. How fitting.
Screw humanity! I'll always believe in dragons and elves and everything that people say are fantasy and unreal. I love dragons more than anything.

Thank you dude! thank you for bringing so many people amazing content. Don't ever underestimate how loved and revered your stuff is. You should be proud my dude, I wish I could pull off such compelling, fascinating videos - with no sponsor too.
As Fantasy fan myself, this heartbreaking story I have ever heard.
I’ve read and listened to this file so many times. It somehow instills a feeling of dread and desperation, even though it’s a fan written article on a wiki.
What I understood: they (fantasy world inhabitants) and us (humans) are mutually dependent of each other - one cannot exist without the other.
For us to exist, they have to believe, we exist.
For them to exist, we have to believe, they exist.
We're both like gods to each other - we, and them, decide, if them, or us, should even exist.
This here gets terryfying.
Since we've stopped believing in their existence - their very existence, and their world, begins to crumble and collapse.
What follows: since they will be gone - our world will collapse as well, since they can no longer believe, that we exist, because they no longer exist.
Yeah, we've just doomed ourselves. Congrats humanity!
They still believe in us, we just have the belief for them as thin as paper
I think that's why they "buried the room" on their side...to prevent the fallout of this collapse from hurting us...
@@Cutie_Oni that's not much of a belief though...
@@alexanderzhmurov9624 maybe
hmm... this should be a Keter then... cuz it could end this entire existence if they stop believing...
This is truly heartbreaking. At least when the box said, “Here Were Dragons,” the box is still intact, and there is still hope that we might one day believe enough to see them again. Once it turns to dust, the connection is broken, and all hope of seeing and loving any being from Fantasy or Fantasy itself is lost forever.
This is by far the saddest SCP that I have learned of yet.

This reminds me of that one spongebob episode where spongebob and patrick had a cardboard box and they went inside it and created a fantasy world using their imagination but when squirdward opened the box all he saw were the two just sitting in there laughing and playing.
Maybe the "Room" referred to in the story is a kid's room, a kid who really liked dragons and had all sorts of dragon figures and picture on his walls or maybe even just pictures of fantasy stuff.
The "Family" could be the kid's family and could either be fantasy story writers or origami makers (which would explain why they were supposed to be creative)
And maybe the kid used to play in the box using his imagination and he made this fantasy world inside of this box, and to him it seemed real and that gave meaning to the box and probably it the way it is
Interesting take...I wonder if they'll make more entries or additions to this one regarding their fates afterwards or origins prior...
SCP-1762 is one of the many victims of the Collateral Damage of humanity leaving our caves and fires to bring light to a dark dangerous world. In doing so many worlds bathed in light and safe now find themselves in unrelenting darkness and turmoil their denizens find their once safe caves collapsing around them and their fires waiver. Great work with these SCP's keep it up!
Sometimes light blinds and burns... as LS would point out, clearly Serpent's Hand is a more friendly organisation to be a part of, like druids and (balance of)nature witches... SCP acting as wizards and sorcerers in this metaphor, while GOC's acting out their dreams of knighthood as dangerous and on occasion cunning paladins, Chaos Insurgency being almost literally warlocks, (MC&D are of course the almost titular deathless merchants(of London(?)), Sarkics acting as outright necromancers and mad demonologists...the seducing darkness to the Church's(of the Broken God) blinding light as the LS (of Serpent's Hand) put it...claiming humanity will need to collectively "walk in the twilight between" aware and wise of dangers and potentials
...I've yet to level an analogy to Daevites and a few other remaining factions, and notable individuals, any clues..?

I remember this was my introduction to scp and absolute favourite. Thank you!
There isnt a sentence that describes the tragedy of growing up, and loosing so much creativity and imagination (at least some of us) , than the sentence "here where Dragons".
Its why i write Fanfiction, though one could make a good argument that im too old for it.
Because sometimes, every once in a while, for just an evening, there are dragons again.
This is what got me I to SCP’s... my favorite of them all. Along with the WIZARD DOLL.
It gets me every time. I wanna make a short film about this. They should make a series they sure have a shit ton of SCP’s for thousands of episodes!

Man, I love your channel! Thanks for reminding us that here be dragons :')
We.... I... Look what we've done. These dragons and hybrids loved us to death. So much so you could feel the hopeless hope in the letters and some person, somewhere, somehow... Let it get this far. They "Grew up"? No they LEFT a part of themselves behind and broke hearts.
Believe in something enough and it's real? Then real Giants died. Elves. Dragons. They died WAITING for us in that world and one individual has to make the choice that we were a lost cause to them and rally who was left alive too run and flee. Even when they were abandoned they destroyed the room so no harm would come to us. Exiled us from their new Haven scared and abandoned. For their own survival.
This is the power of imagination and this is what we did with it. Created something and left it behind. Broke it's heart and it died alone and scared. Goddamn it. I'm crying.

I can respect the many, many reasons people are drawn to the SCP wiki and its many articles. I'm a sucker for some of the items based around a good mystery, honestly. But the thing that makes me a fan of SCP is stuff like Where the Dragons Went, the stuff that just guts you and leaves you a blubbering wreck. You know you got something special when a setting known for its sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and action elements, for its consistent quality despite having a rather loose setting with no set canon, can deliver something like SCP-1762.
This one legitimately made me cry. I've loved dragons since I was a toddler, and I love them even now. Makes me sad to believe that we let them down.
This story is hart breaking, thank you for sharing it
I feel like there could have been a few D-Class who they could "convince" to believe in fantasy or at least the dragons maybe that could have a effect on the SCP
that was deep and dark, "they never stopped believing in us"
WE MUST REMEMBER THEM AND BELIEVE IN THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a very sad scp story. When the box says Here were Dragons, it pulls at the heart strings.
I started bawling like a baby, I'm not gonna lie. As an artist as well as a practicer of magiks, this absolutely broke my heart. I feel the world has lost so much wonder as we loose our faith in the whimsical and fantastical. I think we as a species, we've lost something valuable in our push for the logical answer to everything. And I don't mean big scientific things, I mean things like faerie circles and elves, the magiks of the earth. We've lost something, I can't explain exactly what, but we've lost something special, a spark, a sense of connection, of wonder.
Here were dragons, indeed
This video just broke my heart man. Literally.
