So I needed to take a bit of a break this week from exploring, so I decided to just read a tale instead. I hope you all enjoy it, and I'll be back to exploring some spooky stuff next week.
Neon Rayz I believe there was another story out there where either Backwoods or Deeds said his uncle turned into an Eel? If so, then maybe the Blackwoods have a way to advert death by becoming another creature but with an supernatural twist. But I can’t confirm this
The way you phrase it sounds like you're jealous of him escaping his dimension, implying you're in that dimension. So I'm just imagining you dreaming of the day you become a slug lol
I am a poor man as I cannot enter hell, they did not let me back in after I tore the fuck out of a demon army, so I got banished by a big spiky dude, I took one of his kneecaps.
@@SubmarineCommander I was going to ask if you are the Doom Slayer himself and pay my respect, then I read your name. I see you are a fellow brother, destroyer of Chaos, warrior of the Emperor of Mankind! BROTHER!
This story is adorable if you picture it all happening as a little sea slug with a top hat and pipe who is never acknowledged as such by all the people he interacts with.
I love this idea. It’s become such popular head canon that he transformed at some point or that his mind was transferred; but the idea that he has indeed been a bemonocled naturalist sea slug with, assumably psychic powers, who has simply never been questioned about it before the foundation… is a absolute peak!

I have a theory that perhaps in the year 1910, Blackwood was somehow transformed into the seaslug, and refuses to accept the fact he has turned to such a creature. He refuses to acknowledge times past 1910 because he would not allow himself to accept the fact his journeys had ended because he had been transformed to a slug.
Or he has been hit by a cognito hazard that prevents him from recognizing he has become a sea slug and thus will not work to freeing himself from the curse.
My head Canon is that in his waning years he discovered "there be dragons" box and he goes on one "last" adventure with Mr Deeds and they are irrevocable changed by the experience. As a natural storyteller and his tales being inspirational to others, the dragons could not let him pass on.
If people enjoy these, it makes it a lot easier in the future for me to take breaks, cause then I don't have to stress about preparing extra explorations.
@@TheExploringSeries Typically when I see your scp videos I end up reading up on the scp, and then watching the video to see if I missed anything not within the initial containment document, like with the factory version of scp-001 and the forest that shall not be named.

Hm... So you think he is responsible for the eventual destruction of the Red Sea Object version of Earth? Didnt he try to save it by telling the General to mass produce the Blackwood's Tears?
Johannes He That’s what I’m thinking. Odds are his intentions were good, but people are flawed regardless. Any number of things could have happened. Even if they attempted mass production and use, we don’t know how many of the creatures there were. We don’t know what lengths the Government would have gone to try take back control. I do feel the truth getting out to the public is definitely the catalyst of the world’s destruction
When they traveled to the dimension of the red sea object, they might just have come out at one of the last few unclean zones, which wasn't cleansed yet. Or it was the one zone, where the leaders of the church had to attone for their sins as they went trough the same punishment as they had brought over milions: To be stuck in an unclean one.
@@johanneshe6939 Yeah, Blackwood tried to save their world. The leaders of the cult in that world didn't want it to be saved, just like our world their religion wanted to maintain control even if there was no purpose of it anymore because the species is pretty much gone.

There's actually an entire interview with Deeds about his connection to Lord Blackwood, here: www.scp-wiki.net/recollections-of-a-gentleman-s-gentleman
Are you implying pepsi man isnt locked away several thousand miles below the surface so as to keep locked away his world destroying thirst quenching powers
The military officer he gave his research to either destroyed it for being heretical or was killed by the High Lords along with his men when they tried to use the weapon and spread it's knowledge around the world.
There... Is a chance Blackwood's actions led to *him* releasing what hold he had of the unclean and moved onto the next world, leaving this one behind to burn. They resist *him*, they get wiped out.
Theory: Blackwood was slowly exposed to his substance (Blackwood's Tears) during his use of it against the Unclean. It acted similarly to the Lord's Tears, but slow-acting; it only started the transformation effect after Blackwood's return to his home. When used against Unclean, they kill the beast, and the people it makes up. But for live people, instead of turning them into unclean, it turns them into slugs. Those afflicted by Blackwood's Tears would be unaware of their effects. Just before Blackwood ended up in SCP containment, his transformation was complete, hence the British sea slug.
@@e.v4892 Considering that things like Blackwood's Tears, Mister Deeds, and the house with all his other curios and research exist, combined with the fact that there never was an explanation or an attempt to find one on the Foundation's part as to how the Land of the Unclean went from global theocratic state to post-apocalyptic wasteland in their tests of the Red Sea Object, I'd say you have you have something here. Dark, as in MC&D, once sent his acting descendant an improved version of Blackwood's concoction, which she decided to name on the spot "Darkwood Tears." Given MC&D has a base in London, and the fact that Lord Blackwood is familiar with them by reputation, specifically Dark, or Blackwood refers to him in his accounts "the Deathless Merchant of London", this gives further credibility to the Lord's stories. As for what happened to that alternate reality, my theory is that when confronted with the evidence that Blackwood, who they knew as a member of the clergy and above reproach or doubt, had compiled for them to see distribute, the military must have gathered whatever troops they thought would support them and supplemented their numbers by broadcasting the truth to the public, leading the citizens in a revolt against the clergy. Who won the war was made irrelevant as the internal conflict left the borders unprotected, allowing the unclean to enter the cities. It then became a three-way conflict, as neither clergy nor revolutionary would back down and soon everyone either killed each other or was consumed. After that, most of the Unclean migrated to the wastelands, likely out of some conditioned instinct to return to their natural habitat. The only hiccup I have with your theory is that Blackwood himself was never directly exposed to his own substance(that we know of). It's more likely that during his experiments and countless attempts at making his namesake Tears, he was splashed with or unintentionally breathed in the fumes of several failed concoctions. This would explain the transformation into something far from human, its delayed effect, as well as the possible neurological effects that make him unaware of his current state as well as his possible memory gaps.
@@e.v4892 Never made that connection, I had always suspected that Blackwood either tried to find something equivalent to the fountain of youth which turned him into a biologically immortal sea slug, or the sea slug is not the real Blackwood (who died many years ago) but somehow retains his memories.
I mean...it's just a semi-automatic tranquilizer gun. Given that he went there with a *disintegrator musket* it's not like it's even more advanced than what he already routinely walks around with.
5 years later, i still come back to this video as it is still one of my favorites. specially with your story telling, as it elevates any story from decent to amazing. love your videos man never stop posting
I remember when I first read this after reading SCP-093, I seriously wondered why Blackwood's Tears wasn't mass produced and used. At first I thought they realized Blackwood wasn't a member of the clergy and wrote him off as a mad heretic. But then I though the leaders just couldn't let go of the power they had and the Unclean, which held their power in place.
Or they did start mass producing it, and that world was saved. I think it’s implied that SCP-093 leads to multiple worlds where the eldritch entity introduced the “Tears” and after this world wiped away the Unclean, it was no longer accessible by SCP-093
@@felixluna4184 , The S.C.P.-093 entry contains numerous tests, but the Red Test is the most interesting as it describes a centralized hub where these devices being set up like some sort of central hub. It also contains a Journal entry from a S.C.P. agent that was experimenting on the device decades before. This entry goes on a lot about *him* and how *he* uses these devices to enter new realities filled with sentient people and destroy them via *his* tears. It is for the best no one goes through the mirror, lest they return to *him* the key to their own universes.
If this is his first video you've watched then yeah it doesn't match his name Haha but the rest of his videos are great at diving into the meaning and lore of these kind of things. They really are great exploring videos.

"in my travels I often met savages, but in the light of this new world I find my self the savage with no way of understanding what lies before my eyes."
Dude... This stuff and your warhammer lore are my favorite things on the internet... I'm like kid at Christmas when I get the notifications... Thank you tons for taking the time to present this to us... Telling stories is an art... You are well gifted sir. I salute you! Hailing from a small island in the Caribbean, I thank you.
I’m really genuinely surprised they haven’t considered making him thaumiel. Or at the very least, an anomalous agent. I know their attempts at an anomalous kill squad didn’t go well but the foundation has plenty of declared and undeclared anomalous agents
I mean, They should. Those things could be a serious threat, sending in a good MTF with that gear would be wise. set up a base on the other side, send in attack helis with the compound as the weapons.
This is one of the greatest story telling lore of this SCP. I used to find that SCP uninteresting, but now I have grown to love it as this story put more spooks into my mind than ever before.
The Red Sea object is one of my favorite SCP's due to how apocalyptic it was. I wish there were more tales of it like what exactly the alien entity claiming to be god is. The war that created the unclean. The first unclean and how humanity reacted to it, or what the surviving humans living in the space station made to run away from the unclean are like.
This is easily one of the best written tales and one of my favorites from the scp universe. The writing like a Gentleman from the early 1900s or late 1800s is dead on.
I like this story since it adds to the wonder when an 19th century naturalist finds himself in a 21st century style world, but then also being supernatural and dissimilar to ours in many ways, making it so that his awe of seeing our world is combined with our awe of seeing 093s world in a non-apocalyptic state
I always thought the original 093 was just ok, not bad or anything, just the typical bizarre alternate dimension stuff you’d expect from the foundation. Blackwood’s story however, with how it’s recontextualized 093, has managed to turn it into one of my favorites.
This has become one of my favorite SCP articles, the terror and the corruption, but also that sweet release from a fate far worse from death, and a single stranger from an unknown land that caused it all, this is how you tell a grand story
"Were a man not already mad upon entering these walls, the circumstances of his internment would make him so" man that's still true. When i was hospitalized inpatient we were very rarely allowed outside (despite there being a safely enclosed area where we could). I was once yelled at for looking out a window, with the reason provided being that i could be trying to communicate with a guy who was out there (he was 50 yards away, talking on his phone and not paying attention to me. i doubt he could even see inside with the glare on the window). we were only allowed one phone call per day, and not allowed to bring phones, stuffed animals, blankets, or jewelry in with us. And this sounds fake as hell but they had a room called 'the quiet room' which was a bare room with nothing but a mattress on the floor, and had six huge locks on the door. If you were being disruptive they would send you there. There was always an hour or two during the day where we were sent to our rooms and not allowed to make any noise at all. The only good thing i remember about being inpatient was that you could try out lots of medications rapidly, which was actually pretty useful.
Oh my god i completely forgot this dude is a sea slug by the end of it, absolutely NOBODY in that other word seemed to give a shit, they saw a slug that could recite the ancient texts by memory and were probably like “ok this thing might be god lets let it out of its chains and hope it doesnt smite us”
Btw: This is epic. I've been listening to this during my stay-at-home-workshift of answering e-mails and it's really, really good. Absolutely worth the full listen.
This is one of my favorite tales.Takes me back to when I first got into the scp universe. Can't wait for your next scp exploring episode.If I could make a suggestion 3007: world of two artists. I think that is the number.
I wanna hear more about this lord blackwood, the way he studied and researches so carefully before ever even entering the mirror is a level of planning rarely seen, and his ability to think on his feet his nifty as well
I drive a semi cross country and when music just isn't cutting it, I tune in on an exploring series reading and let the miles fly...thanks for all you do.
I have three theories on Blackwood: 1) Blackwood WAS a Man of Adventure, but was turned into a slug on one of his adventures. The stuff he saw and did was real, the Foundation refuses to accept "weird" stuff and somewhere the Serpent's Hand is sighing in exasperation. 2) Blackwood HAS ALWAYS been a Sea Slug that THOUGHT he was a man, is a Reality Warper that changed things around himself to fit his delusions, until "something" in the early 19th century heavily reduced his powers. 3) Blackwood is similar to the Dragons from the Box, partially powered by imagination. Earlier, he was capable of mild Reality-Bending enough to perform the actions of a Human and believed himself to be one, but with the fall of wonder in the last century (containment by the less-than-creative Foundation hasn't helped), he's been reduced to just a Sea Slug.
I've just yesterday found your channel and have been listening to you recount these SCP reports. I have to be honest, this was probably my favorite recounting yet. If this is you taking a "break" I'd recommend you take them more frequently. (understanding that there must be stories like this to tell) I wish you much success in your endeavors, I'm enjoying them immensely.

If only Blackwood's Tears had been far more mass produced. If they had, that world would have been saved from the Unclean.
The ”government” wouldn’t want to do that, they created the unclean and ruled humans with the fear of the unclean
@@onisuni4058 lot of good that did
The military officer he gave his research to either destroyed it for being heretical or was killed by the High Lords along with his men when they tried to use the weapon and spread it's knowledge around the world.
One of the things to remember about this world is *him* and what *his* plan is.
There... Is a chance Blackwood's actions led to *him* releasing what hold he had of the unclean and moved onto the next world, leaving this one behind to burn.
They resist *him*, they get wiped out.

Theory: Blackwood was slowly exposed to his substance (Blackwood's Tears) during his use of it against the Unclean. It acted similarly to the Lord's Tears, but slow-acting; it only started the transformation effect after Blackwood's return to his home. When used against Unclean, they kill the beast, and the people it makes up. But for live people, instead of turning them into unclean, it turns them into slugs. Those afflicted by Blackwood's Tears would be unaware of their effects. Just before Blackwood ended up in SCP containment, his transformation was complete, hence the British sea slug.
@@e.v4892 Considering that things like Blackwood's Tears, Mister Deeds, and the house with all his other curios and research exist, combined with the fact that there never was an explanation or an attempt to find one on the Foundation's part as to how the Land of the Unclean went from global theocratic state to post-apocalyptic wasteland in their tests of the Red Sea Object, I'd say you have you have something here. Dark, as in MC&D, once sent his acting descendant an improved version of Blackwood's concoction, which she decided to name on the spot "Darkwood Tears." Given MC&D has a base in London, and the fact that Lord Blackwood is familiar with them by reputation, specifically Dark, or Blackwood refers to him in his accounts "the Deathless Merchant of London", this gives further credibility to the Lord's stories. As for what happened to that alternate reality, my theory is that when confronted with the evidence that Blackwood, who they knew as a member of the clergy and above reproach or doubt, had compiled for them to see distribute, the military must have gathered whatever troops they thought would support them and supplemented their numbers by broadcasting the truth to the public, leading the citizens in a revolt against the clergy. Who won the war was made irrelevant as the internal conflict left the borders unprotected, allowing the unclean to enter the cities. It then became a three-way conflict, as neither clergy nor revolutionary would back down and soon everyone either killed each other or was consumed. After that, most of the Unclean migrated to the wastelands, likely out of some conditioned instinct to return to their natural habitat. The only hiccup I have with your theory is that Blackwood himself was never directly exposed to his own substance(that we know of). It's more likely that during his experiments and countless attempts at making his namesake Tears, he was splashed with or unintentionally breathed in the fumes of several failed concoctions. This would explain the transformation into something far from human, its delayed effect, as well as the possible neurological effects that make him unaware of his current state as well as his possible memory gaps.
@@e.v4892 Never made that connection, I had always suspected that Blackwood either tried to find something equivalent to the fountain of youth which turned him into a biologically immortal sea slug, or the sea slug is not the real Blackwood (who died many years ago) but somehow retains his memories.
I wish we had more SCP Games. Blackwood would be a good character to Interact with as a side mission about collecting his journals.
I would watch an entire movie series of Blackwoods shenanigans as a comedy horror. It would be an absolute masterpiece

What?
Well also it was heavily modified to shoot blackwood's tears then to shoot what was originally intended
I mean...it's just a semi-automatic tranquilizer gun. Given that he went there with a *disintegrator musket* it's not like it's even more advanced than what he already routinely walks around with.

One of my favorite side stories to come out of a scp. I could watch a short film on this.
I could imagine a Netflix film about this except you only learn the current condition of Blackwood at the end of the film.

Pman alternatively he’s a sea slug the whole way through, but nobody questions it and talks to him like a normal human.

yesss hes so rad
42:01 deeds? As in Mr deeds? The super cool SCP butler that can do almost anything? So THATS were he came from!
I remember when I first read this after reading SCP-093, I seriously wondered why Blackwood's Tears wasn't mass produced and used. At first I thought they realized Blackwood wasn't a member of the clergy and wrote him off as a mad heretic. But then I though the leaders just couldn't let go of the power they had and the Unclean, which held their power in place.
He says that he asked the general to ststartsrt mass production across the world doesn't he?
@@DrewbieMrshMllw He made that recommendation, but the leaders of the time obviously ignored it.
Or they did start mass producing it, and that world was saved. I think it’s implied that SCP-093 leads to multiple worlds where the eldritch entity introduced the “Tears” and after this world wiped away the Unclean, it was no longer accessible by SCP-093
@@11jerans oooh ya bc of the different colors!!!
@@felixluna4184 ,
The S.C.P.-093 entry contains numerous tests, but the Red Test is the most interesting as it describes a centralized hub where these devices being set up like some sort of central hub. It also contains a Journal entry from a S.C.P. agent that was experimenting on the device decades before. This entry goes on a lot about *him* and how *he* uses these devices to enter new realities filled with sentient people and destroy them via *his* tears.
It is for the best no one goes through the mirror, lest they return to *him* the key to their own universes.
That British accent is amazing!

Dude... This stuff and your warhammer lore are my favorite things on the internet... I'm like kid at Christmas when I get the notifications... Thank you tons for taking the time to present this to us... Telling stories is an art... You are well gifted sir. I salute you!
Hailing from a small island in the Caribbean, I thank you.
This was an amazing tale. I love how it builds on one of the best scps on the site.
This becomes 1000% funnier if you imagine a cute lil sea slug going on this adventure
Speaking with an English accent, never the less.
This story is just fascinating. I was enthralled the entire time
Someone needs to make Blackwood a cybernetic body. He would make a fantastic foundation operative.
I’m really genuinely surprised they haven’t considered making him thaumiel. Or at the very least, an anomalous agent. I know their attempts at an anomalous kill squad didn’t go well but the foundation has plenty of declared and undeclared anomalous agents
I love your videos man. They’ve been an exceptional source of entertainment for me, in very difficult times. Thank you
I actually said “oh my god” out loud when I saw this in my sub box
OH MY GOD !
A Mobile Task Force Squad
That noone stops
It's the NINE TAILED FOX !
Lord Blackwood is a character I like to hear about more along with his tales.
Now I'm imagining a tale where a Foundation employee ventures into the manor, finds Blackwood's Tears, and incites a full-on conquest of 093.
I mean, They should. Those things could be a serious threat, sending in a good MTF with that gear would be wise. set up a base on the other side, send in attack helis with the compound as the weapons.
The plot armor of lord blackwood and his family is astonishing
Broo.. SCP movies would be so cooool.. like even lord blackwood's tales as a movie would be AWESOME!!! Man I love these series. 😥👌😍

@@TheRealRusDaddy there is no problem with copyright system in wikiscp just mention author and their story okey
An entire hour? Bless you man.
This is one of the greatest story telling lore of this SCP. I used to find that SCP uninteresting, but now I have grown to love it as this story put more spooks into my mind than ever before.
Thanks for the free audio book, your voice is perfect for it
The Red Sea object is one of my favorite SCP's due to how apocalyptic it was. I wish there were more tales of it like what exactly the alien entity claiming to be god is. The war that created the unclean. The first unclean and how humanity reacted to it, or what the surviving humans living in the space station made to run away from the unclean are like.
This is easily one of the best written tales and one of my favorites from the scp universe. The writing like a Gentleman from the early 1900s or late 1800s is dead on.
I think this might be my favorite exploration and SCP.
10 months ago I watched this video for the first time. I have been absolutely hooked on the SCP Universe since.
I like this story since it adds to the wonder when an 19th century naturalist finds himself in a 21st century style world, but then also being supernatural and dissimilar to ours in many ways, making it so that his awe of seeing our world is combined with our awe of seeing 093s world in a non-apocalyptic state
So its safe to say that Lord Blackwood is the very model of a modern major general, with information animal, vegetable, and mineral.
This could really make a great animated movie.
I always thought the original 093 was just ok, not bad or anything, just the typical bizarre alternate dimension stuff you’d expect from the foundation. Blackwood’s story however, with how it’s recontextualized 093, has managed to turn it into one of my favorites.
Lord Blackwood has always been one of my favorite skips. I see the name, and I click!
This has become one of my favorite SCP articles, the terror and the corruption, but also that sweet release from a fate far worse from death, and a single stranger from an unknown land that caused it all, this is how you tell a grand story
"Were a man not already mad upon entering these walls, the circumstances of his internment would make him so"
man that's still true. When i was hospitalized inpatient we were very rarely allowed outside (despite there being a safely enclosed area where we could). I was once yelled at for looking out a window, with the reason provided being that i could be trying to communicate with a guy who was out there (he was 50 yards away, talking on his phone and not paying attention to me. i doubt he could even see inside with the glare on the window). we were only allowed one phone call per day, and not allowed to bring phones, stuffed animals, blankets, or jewelry in with us. And this sounds fake as hell but they had a room called 'the quiet room' which was a bare room with nothing but a mattress on the floor, and had six huge locks on the door. If you were being disruptive they would send you there. There was always an hour or two during the day where we were sent to our rooms and not allowed to make any noise at all. The only good thing i remember about being inpatient was that you could try out lots of medications rapidly, which was actually pretty useful.
My goal: Going to bed at a reasonable hour
My Obstacle: TES posting schedule
Sir you did a terrific job with this story and I am pleased.
Watching at 3 am and I thought that this story was really great with showing the world of the SCP-093 and I would love to see more of lord Blackwood.
Oh my god i completely forgot this dude is a sea slug by the end of it, absolutely NOBODY in that other word seemed to give a shit, they saw a slug that could recite the ancient texts by memory and were probably like “ok this thing might be god lets let it out of its chains and hope it doesnt smite us”
This is one of my favorite scip tales, thank you TES!
Btw: This is epic. I've been listening to this during my stay-at-home-workshift of answering e-mails and it's really, really good. Absolutely worth the full listen.
This is one of my favorite tales.Takes me back to when I first got into the scp universe. Can't wait for your next scp exploring episode.If I could make a suggestion 3007: world of two artists. I think that is the number.
I wanna hear more about this lord blackwood, the way he studied and researches so carefully before ever even entering the mirror is a level of planning rarely seen, and his ability to think on his feet his nifty as well
Hes legit one of my faves- you should look for "The Hunt of The Tarasque" where he and teddy Roosevelt get their shit rocked by scp 682
You should do more of Blackwood's tales. These are really cool.
I love the typical scps, and the logs and stuff, yet nothing is better than the stories that are borne from different scps.
When you are such a mad lad you travel to another world to try and kill a monster XD
This has to be the best video so far. I’m listening to them while I work
I always look forward to your SCP videos man. Keep up the awesome work!

Yes. There's even an entire tale about his connection to Blackwood, here: www.scp-wiki.net/recollections-of-a-gentleman-s-gentleman
Funnily enough, I got this notif while reading about the SCP it's so thanks for saving me some time
Funny enough, your name fits a character (the Unclean) from the story
I drive a semi cross country and when music just isn't cutting it, I tune in on an exploring series reading and let the miles fly...thanks for all you do.
Man I haven't watched you in ages. Love these vids!
I have three theories on Blackwood:
1) Blackwood WAS a Man of Adventure, but was turned into a slug on one of his adventures. The stuff he saw and did was real, the Foundation refuses to accept "weird" stuff and somewhere the Serpent's Hand is sighing in exasperation.
2) Blackwood HAS ALWAYS been a Sea Slug that THOUGHT he was a man, is a Reality Warper that changed things around himself to fit his delusions, until "something" in the early 19th century heavily reduced his powers.
3) Blackwood is similar to the Dragons from the Box, partially powered by imagination. Earlier, he was capable of mild Reality-Bending enough to perform the actions of a Human and believed himself to be one, but with the fall of wonder in the last century (containment by the less-than-creative Foundation hasn't helped), he's been reduced to just a Sea Slug.
I want to hear more of Lord Blackwood's adventures.
I've just yesterday found your channel and have been listening to you recount these SCP reports. I have to be honest, this was probably my favorite recounting yet. If this is you taking a "break" I'd recommend you take them more frequently. (understanding that there must be stories like this to tell) I wish you much success in your endeavors, I'm enjoying them immensely.
I fucking LOVED this, I really enjoy fiction in the form of a tale told by the classic explorer type, it gives it a nostalgic feel, and the raw dark feel of this story is a huge bonus
I have a 30 min trip to work and then I am always an hour early and this was perfect for my morning trip thank you for all the perfect content.
By the queens crown I do say my good man your narration is well pronounced, good chap three cheers for this mans stellar performance.
so glad I found this - I love Blackwood, and I really love the land of the unclean and the portals. I never knew there was a story with both. So good.
