The reason there are less old school SCPs nowadays is because people don't enjoy writing them as much anymore.

This reminds me of things from when I was a child. When adults would try to scour the world of wonder and joy and magic. They seemed to hate imagination and creativity and mystery.
I want to just take a moment and appreciate the raw beauty of the line at 53:35. "It's not a sacrifice, it's a sequel hook" By the sheer power of "I'm the damn protag here", Okori's tragic "sacrifice to hold off the villain so protag can escape" gets flipped on its head and not only likely ensures Okori surviving, but that thry get rescued later.

"...we're better off without him, even if he did take his personal collection of artifacts, like a petulant child." Am I wrong, or was that actually a nod to the old Fishmonger controversy ages and ages ago?
Cus scp is not copyrightable whatever company that wants to make this a series must accept people copying their shit, also look on the bright side, scp not being mainstream means less bs due to people coming here to try and squeeze us for money
@@drep6268 While you're not wrong, we know that Hollywood is willing to make endless movies about public domain characters like Hercules, Robin Hood, or Sherlock Holmes. So there's really no reason they couldn't use characters that are not copyrightable for other reasons, such as being under Creative Commons license. They wouldn't own the result, but they don't own Robin Hood either.
@@EnvisionerWill The SCP wiki is under the Creative Commons 3.0 License which is different than the Public Domain.

I just finished reading this last night. It's a very long and gripping scp. I couldn't stop reading until the end, I had to finish it. So excited to see that it's being covered here.
Oh I think I get it! It’s derived from the fear of the author that the SCP Foundation might be dying off. I’m guessing the four other are based on four classic forms of tales within the SCP Foundation
Isn't releasing anomalies render the Foundation obsolete as well? There's nothing to contain. Seems more like to me that those anomalous selfish O5s don't want to die.
Just commenting to say I love your O5-1 voice. I noticed it first in the 6140 video and again here, it's not a huge change but it adds a lot of depth to these summaries. Excited for part 2!
This is the kinda story I've been wanting to hear for a while. As someone who's obsessed with fantasy, the idea of narrative being the driving force of magic is amazing. I'm not sure how many walls were broken during this story, but every brick that fell built the path of the warrior.
You should check out Sir Terry Pratchett then, if you haven't already. The Discworld runs on narrativium (stories, tropes, and memes basically). It's all very tongue in cheek but so subtly brilliant and observant of our real world. One of my all time favorite book series.
the overseer that modelled itself off Diogenes in my mind definitely seems to be influenced by the enigmatic shopkeeper Leland Gaunt from Stephen King's Needful Things
Oh man…the stories the SCP writers come up with give me hope for the future of storytelling! Been feeling like creativity in the west has been dying lately because of Hollywood just rehashing stuff, and underlining agendas that either distract from or ruin stories. But then I listen to the Volgun or Exploring Series read an SCP article and it gives me hope that good old creative original stories still exist!
Well, if you listen to any mainstream media source anywhere then that's going to be your take, since their goal is to appeal to the largest audience. That's... kind of the point of Hollywood and all, so you should never ever be basing your hopes on anything like that. Literature has been thriving all this time in actual writing communities and places that cater to such dynamics, like Creators that use Patreon or Subreddits/Discords/Forums. TLDR: Creativity in the west is great and has always been great, it just seems like you expect it from places that aren't designed for it. Hollywood is the worst place to be looking for that in. Stick to Patreon, Reddit and writing forums/discords.
@@barnes9211 You misunderstand, he's moreso saying that comparatively the creative output of the US is declining when compared to the largest competitors. In terms of writing like you said maybe we are doing fine. But in terms of comics, animation and movies There has been a decline in quality (obv an opinion but it's a very common one) And in terms of movies with a decline of new sources of written or comic stories they naturally suffer Mainstream appealing to the most people is untrue. As rotten tomatoes should have let you know some movies are made for no reason as very very few people like them. In terms of comics we are losing ground to manga, manhwa and Chinese comics. In terms of animation again
Oh shut up. So because you don't like the movies that come out of Hollywood these days, now suddenly storytelling in the west is dying? Grow up and get off of TH-cam for a while.
I've seen essentially this exact comment on every other 6000 competition entry I've watched so far. In different ways, all of them are great, though different folk prefer different styles of writing, length, and content, so the favourite of one will be disliked by another. I love that all these varying visions are accessible to us still.
They started to believe in magic again. If you try to understand all that is .magical with science, you kill the magic and that which it powers. That's what the anomalous are- magical beings and places that exist because we have imagination.

Yes! I have been waiting this video from you! I have heard a lot of good things about Inevitable but sincerely the length of the article was kinda intimidating. So I appreciate this, thank you.
7:48 As a member of the serpent's hand, the rest of this speech nearly exactly displays my views on the foundation and the GoC. I respect that they are helping to stop 6500, but they could stand to be a little less hypocritical about it. I point to the time they sealed a dragon away untill it lost almost all its power and killed it for trying to fly for the first time in over 100 years, and potentially the last time it could have been able to take off had it lived. We see you jailors as those that would seal away and depower anything you don't understand, that would kill or make non-anomalous the source of all magic if you could find it, just so you wouldn't have to "contain thaumaturgic scp's".
The dragon didn't loose it's power, it just couldn't deal with the advance ment of science. In its time the sun and stars were these mystical powers, now we know their flaming balls of gas and it couldn't cope with the loss of wonder.
@@atomicash2475 tell that to its diminishing size, horde, and knowledge. heck, even its firebreath went from arcane to biological. Dragons get BIGGER with age, not smaller.
Gotta say thanks for these videos. I have insomnia and struggle to fall asleep normally but these videos knock me out. I’ve watched every single scp video at least 3-4 times + to actually catch it all before I fall asleep.
The total number of SCPs is about four thousand; the numbering isn't entirely consistent, because they do big contests at the 1000-marks and then start adding ahead of that. For instance they have a 6999 already but there currently isn't a 6986; they'll have to fill in all the skipped numbers before they open up submissions for an SCP-7000 contest.
Love this channel. When I go on long road hauls or spend some time cleaning the house I always just Bluetooth this channel and let the imagination wander . Keep up the good entertainment man 👍
18:00 It’s beginning to sound like the way to defeat this process of entropy, is to force it to exist within a structure… by doing so, it becomes possible to interact with it, and defeat it. Otherwise, it remains beyond reach. EDIT: I was rather wrong 🤣 it now seems like it’s more of a pataphysical thing, where SCP’s gradually fade from public interest over time, and SCP’s that are fully contained fade faster because nothing is happening with them. So in this path they’re revived by being used in narratives, reawakening people’s interest in them by making them relevant again, and thus holding back SCP-6500’s endless march.
You may have been wrong, but i think you were onto something. That was exactly how SCP-001 "The Black Moon" worked after all, and it too was essentially a force of pure entropy; this could easily be similar.
I'm gonna have to listen to this multiple times lol there is so much going on here, my mind starts to wander and suddenly the story is ten miles away and I'm somewhere in a field of sparkly anomalies
What you are experiencing is pataphysical derangement. If symptoms persist read a Family Circus cartoon and the ingredients list on a Gogurt Watermelon Lime flavor package. DO NOT read a Mountain Berry Burst package, as this might exacerbate symptoms or open a cognito portal into the Super Context.

I understand why some might enjoy this SCP as it broadly follows the steps of a fantasy narrative. That said, I don't like it myself. It is like someone asked, "how can we make a typical hero's journey story using nothing but SCPs?" Yeah, it is a lot of effort, but it is completely unoriginal. It is recycled takes on other, better SCPs, thrown together for no other purpose than to be as "meta" as possible.
I haven't seen much of the vid yet, but how wild would it be if consciousness or the soul ends up an anomaly, and this entity doesn't just have a useful effect, but is also turning us all slowly into soulless p-zombies.
Oh hells yeah! I love SCPs that touch on other SCPs, especially relatively obscure ones! And reinvigorating forgotten entries? I love this idea. The Hanged King definitely needs more exploration, and I'm super stoked to hear more from this universe. I personally detest the Kaktusverse in most forma, separately the SCPs are good, but the stories to unite them all are not to my liking. This is a good balancer for that cycle though, and very welcome!
-So we could have completely normal world with no murderous nonsensical anomalies and save countless lives and we are not doing it because?... -Dunno, just some vague "philosophy" from r/im14andthisisdeep
Because it was already done 6500 already terminated 6500 anomalies and nerfed countless more. Anomalies are still dangerous, but living with them is now a possibility and the only possibility that isn't genocide. The world threatening stuff is gone, some stuff that was difficult to contain or impossible to destroy became easy to neutralize or contain or been terminated by 6500, etc. That's the plot of 6500 and no return timeline - continuing the foundation as it was would just be unnecessary cruelty/genocide.

"...we're better off without him, even if he did take his personal collection of artifacts, like a petulant child."
Am I wrong, or was that actually a nod to the old Fishmonger controversy ages and ages ago?
lol i was thought the same, given how deep the influence of that shape today scp wiki forum, it's kind of easter egg
Hmm, explain what this means?
@@michaelandreipalon359 fishmonger drama, early scp wiki. check out down to rabbit hold scp foundation video on youtube
@@__0-0__ I see.
I don’t understand what controversy
What a better way to end a Sunday! Finally got my homework finished and one of my favorite youtubers post a new video!
Was waiting all night for this lol, another SCP video let’s go
Is that a syndicated comment at this point? 😐
I am confusion
How this hasn't been made into a TV series is beyond me.
Cus scp is not copyrightable whatever company that wants to make this a series must accept people copying their shit, also look on the bright side, scp not being mainstream means less bs due to people coming here to try and squeeze us for money
@@drep6268 While you're not wrong, we know that Hollywood is willing to make endless movies about public domain characters like Hercules, Robin Hood, or Sherlock Holmes. So there's really no reason they couldn't use characters that are not copyrightable for other reasons, such as being under Creative Commons license. They wouldn't own the result, but they don't own Robin Hood either.
@@EnvisionerWill The SCP wiki is under the Creative Commons 3.0 License which is different than the Public Domain. Under the Creative Commons, any derivative works are also legally required to be released under the Creative Commons. So if a studio made a movie based on SCP, anyone could legally distribute and watch the movie for free. There's no good way for a studio to make a profit using Creative Commons properties.

I absolutely positively adore this, thank you very sincerely for this excellent reading!

I just finished reading this last night. It's a very long and gripping scp. I couldn't stop reading until the end, I had to finish it. So excited to see that it's being covered here.
Oh I think I get it! It’s derived from the fear of the author that the SCP Foundation might be dying off. I’m guessing the four other are based on four classic forms of tales within the SCP Foundation
Isn't releasing anomalies render the Foundation obsolete as well? There's nothing to contain. Seems more like to me that those anomalous selfish O5s don't want to die.
Just commenting to say I love your O5-1 voice. I noticed it first in the 6140 video and again here, it's not a huge change but it adds a lot of depth to these summaries. Excited for part 2!
I was not a fan of that voice. His normal reading voice is much better.
This is the kinda story I've been wanting to hear for a while. As someone who's obsessed with fantasy, the idea of narrative being the driving force of magic is amazing. I'm not sure how many walls were broken during this story, but every brick that fell built the path of the warrior.
You should check out Sir Terry Pratchett then, if you haven't already. The Discworld runs on narrativium (stories, tropes, and memes basically). It's all very tongue in cheek but so subtly brilliant and observant of our real world. One of my all time favorite book series.
Well I think they broke all of them, considering they ended up yeeting an anomaly of some sort directly at the author to reboot the story 🤣
6 walls
the overseer that modelled itself off Diogenes in my mind definitely seems to be influenced by the enigmatic shopkeeper Leland Gaunt from Stephen King's Needful Things
More likely referencing the fishmonger controversy
6500: kills all anomalies especially in containment
the foundation and every other GOI: noooooooo
GOC: oh no *anyways*
More like: *_LET'S-A-FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!_*
I love this, the alagadda part at the end is a huge moment, and the chains breaking? Well... we know.
Oh man…the stories the SCP writers come up with give me hope for the future of storytelling! Been feeling like creativity in the west has been dying lately because of Hollywood just rehashing stuff, and underlining agendas that either distract from or ruin stories. But then I listen to the Volgun or Exploring Series read an SCP article and it gives me hope that good old creative original stories still exist!
Well, if you listen to any mainstream media source anywhere then that's going to be your take, since their goal is to appeal to the largest audience. That's... kind of the point of Hollywood and all, so you should never ever be basing your hopes on anything like that. Literature has been thriving all this time in actual writing communities and places that cater to such dynamics, like Creators that use Patreon or Subreddits/Discords/Forums.
TLDR: Creativity in the west is great and has always been great, it just seems like you expect it from places that aren't designed for it. Hollywood is the worst place to be looking for that in. Stick to Patreon, Reddit and writing forums/discords.
@@barnes9211 this applies to pretty much all art
@@barnes9211 You misunderstand, he's moreso saying that comparatively the creative output of the US is declining when compared to the largest competitors. In terms of writing like you said maybe we are doing fine. But in terms of comics, animation and movies There has been a decline in quality (obv an opinion but it's a very common one)
And in terms of movies with a decline of new sources of written or comic stories they naturally suffer
Mainstream appealing to the most people is untrue. As rotten tomatoes should have let you know some movies are made for no reason as very very few people like them.
In terms of comics we are losing ground to manga, manhwa and Chinese comics. In terms of animation again
Good writers are like flowers in desert.
Society just has to decide to water them with support and they'll thrive.
Oh shut up. So because you don't like the movies that come out of Hollywood these days, now suddenly storytelling in the west is dying? Grow up and get off of TH-cam for a while.
_* reads title of 6500 *_
Thanos: *_My time has come_*
There's a very strong sense of Dungeons and Dragons in this one.
I thought I was the only one who had that feeling! The whole thing with the path of the Warrior, Mage, Cleric, and Thief gave off huge D&D vibes!
A big reason I don’t care much for SCP anymore. Started to feel too much like that.
the Warrior Path is literally TVTropes: The SCP. lmao
Man SCP-6000 is good but I have no idea how this didn't win the 6000 competition
It’s very long, which seems likely to have hurt us in the competition... but we’re very happy with the strong support the article has received
I've seen essentially this exact comment on every other 6000 competition entry I've watched so far. In different ways, all of them are great, though different folk prefer different styles of writing, length, and content, so the favourite of one will be disliked by another. I love that all these varying visions are accessible to us still.
My happiness spikes when I see "Part One"
6500: *EXIST*
001's: I don't feel so good...
How come no one has pointed out the fact that
THE DRAGONS ARE BACK!
They started to believe in magic again. If you try to understand all that is .magical with science, you kill the magic and that which it powers.
That's what the anomalous are- magical beings and places that exist because we have imagination.

Man I wouldn't be able to make it through these nights without your videos. Been going through a break up and these are the only videos that take away the tinnitus and all that
This was a well written and badass story.
Truly a wonderful video, thank you so much for taking the time and effort to pay this much attention to our ridiculously long, passionate ambitious story... this is something I, and my other authors, are insanely proud to be a part of.

@@slevinchannel7589 this is a weird reply to my comment
This is a truly awesome take that has potential to contend with long adventure and lore like ouroboros cycle, Wrath and Audapaupadopolis. Can't wait for the other 3 parts/paths, and possibly an all-parts/paths video.
SPOILER FROM THIS VIDEO:
Alagadda is My favorite thing in the SCP universe, and I'm so happy to see it here
That was fun. Best one in a while. Can't wait for the next one.
Anyone else Sleep to this man's videos and get super excited when you see hour long ones, so that you can space them out between a couple of nights
I don’t regret staying up to 2 in the morning for this
I told myself I was gonna wait for the other parts but here I am
Please never stop making content you make my 10 hour shift sooooo much easier
this just sounds like any class based mmorpg with SCP sprinkled in. Somebody finally went for the low hanging fruit. Its interesting, but still, feels that way.
Yes!
I have been waiting this video from you!
I have heard a lot of good things about Inevitable but sincerely the length of the article was kinda intimidating.
So I appreciate this, thank you.
7:48 As a member of the serpent's hand, the rest of this speech nearly exactly displays my views on the foundation and the GoC. I respect that they are helping to stop 6500, but they could stand to be a little less hypocritical about it. I point to the time they sealed a dragon away untill it lost almost all its power and killed it for trying to fly for the first time in over 100 years, and potentially the last time it could have been able to take off had it lived.
We see you jailors as those that would seal away and depower anything you don't understand, that would kill or make non-anomalous the source of all magic if you could find it, just so you wouldn't have to "contain thaumaturgic scp's".
The dragon didn't loose it's power, it just couldn't deal with the advance ment of science. In its time the sun and stars were these mystical powers, now we know their flaming balls of gas and it couldn't cope with the loss of wonder.
@@atomicash2475 tell that to its diminishing size, horde, and knowledge. heck, even its firebreath went from arcane to biological. Dragons get BIGGER with age, not smaller.
I entirely agree. The Foundation is, well... I couldn't put it better than you did.
Gotta say thanks for these videos. I have insomnia and struggle to fall asleep normally but these videos knock me out. I’ve watched every single scp video at least 3-4 times + to actually catch it all before I fall asleep.
I love this SCP. I'm happy to see it covered by you!
Love it when the videos are this long, so good to listen to when I’m at work doing an idle job or something, I hope you’re always well
Oh right on its finally THAT time yet AGAIN I look forward to Sunday night 😎 and my GAWD does this one look pretty badass !!!
I listen to this stuff on spotify on my way to work. I absolutely love the long episodes.
Thanos: I am 6500.
Iron man: and I, am… wait what?
I was so scared of that 7 hour video lol, but after Hanged king, sarksis & all my favorite references and reads.
This is been absolutely entertaining.
Oh God, that "praxis" bit killed me, that's hilarious.
Care to explain the joke? Doing so will ruin it of course, but I'm not laughing anyway, so....
6500 in all of its parts is my favorite scp and the exploring series has done a fantastic job.
Whoaaaaaaa...6500 is massive. Can't wait to see it ends!
Spiders exploding like jelly doughnuts, best thing to hear before lunch. Kudos.
Imma be real chief I didn't know what was going on for so much of this story. And I think that was kind of the point. Very well done.
When it says part 1 and is still almost an hour long you know it's gonna be a good one
My god...The last time I watched the wiki there were barely 4000-ish SCPs now you're telling me there are over 6000?!
The total number of SCPs is about four thousand; the numbering isn't entirely consistent, because they do big contests at the 1000-marks and then start adding ahead of that. For instance they have a 6999 already but there currently isn't a 6986; they'll have to fill in all the skipped numbers before they open up submissions for an SCP-7000 contest.
I'm glad you'll still be covering the other paths. I love listening to your videos.
I see TES bounced back pretty quick from having to read the Amogus skip.
Love this channel. When I go on long road hauls or spend some time cleaning the house I always just Bluetooth this channel and let the imagination wander . Keep up the good entertainment man 👍
18:00 It’s beginning to sound like the way to defeat this process of entropy, is to force it to exist within a structure… by doing so, it becomes possible to interact with it, and defeat it. Otherwise, it remains beyond reach.
EDIT: I was rather wrong 🤣 it now seems like it’s more of a pataphysical thing, where SCP’s gradually fade from public interest over time, and SCP’s that are fully contained fade faster because nothing is happening with them. So in this path they’re revived by being used in narratives, reawakening people’s interest in them by making them relevant again, and thus holding back SCP-6500’s endless march.
You may have been wrong, but i think you were onto something. That was exactly how SCP-001 "The Black Moon" worked after all, and it too was essentially a force of pure entropy; this could easily be similar.
This one’s thumbnail instantly reminded me of the Dark Souls “Take On Me” meme video.
THANKS FOR SETTING THE MOOD FOR THIS INCREDIBLY SERIOUS VIDEO.
Underrated!
Man now we gotta wait a week for this to continue.
Great stuff my man.
I'm gonna have to listen to this multiple times lol there is so much going on here, my mind starts to wander and suddenly the story is ten miles away and I'm somewhere in a field of sparkly anomalies
What you are experiencing is pataphysical derangement. If symptoms persist read a Family Circus cartoon and the ingredients list on a Gogurt Watermelon Lime flavor package. DO NOT read a Mountain Berry Burst package, as this might exacerbate symptoms or open a cognito portal into the Super Context.
@@Tusitala1967 That, coupled with my permanent derealization makes sense. I think I could be an asset to the foundation when dealing with cognito hazards lol
Lmao same I go into deep thought about something he described and loose 5 minutes of story
I could literally watch these forever keep doing what you do
Self replicating anomaly

@@EnvisionerWill seriously can use 1 oz Gold Eagle coins to buy things like sleep , time and a 🛀 , basic luxuries are now considered gluttony, even when possible. - however- a 64 Chevy would nice
I understand why some might enjoy this SCP as it broadly follows the steps of a fantasy narrative. That said, I don't like it myself. It is like someone asked, "how can we make a typical hero's journey story using nothing but SCPs?" Yeah, it is a lot of effort, but it is completely unoriginal. It is recycled takes on other, better SCPs, thrown together for no other purpose than to be as "meta" as possible.
Every story is a rip-off of something else
Uhm.. Canon?
I haven't seen much of the vid yet, but how wild would it be if consciousness or the soul ends up an anomaly, and this entity doesn't just have a useful effect, but is also turning us all slowly into soulless p-zombies.
"Part One"
Me: Oh, ish about to get good.
I was right. That was really, really good!
To 05-0:
“We know you don’t want a position in the council, so we made a position for people who don’t want a position!”
What a fucking coincidence. I was just reading a comment about this scp in the video about scp 6666 and this just pop out. What a gift!
Its hard to be excited for anything at 3am on a monday, but you always give me something to look forward to. Much love brother.
Oh hells yeah! I love SCPs that touch on other SCPs, especially relatively obscure ones! And reinvigorating forgotten entries? I love this idea. The Hanged King definitely needs more exploration, and I'm super stoked to hear more from this universe.
I personally detest the Kaktusverse in most forma, separately the SCPs are good, but the stories to unite them all are not to my liking. This is a good balancer for that cycle though, and very welcome!
THE PAPER DRAGONS ARE BACK
-So we could have completely normal world with no murderous nonsensical anomalies and save countless lives and we are not doing it because?...
-Dunno, just some vague "philosophy" from r/im14andthisisdeep
Because they where contain anomalies on mass
Because it was already done 6500 already terminated 6500 anomalies and nerfed countless more. Anomalies are still dangerous, but living with them is now a possibility and the only possibility that isn't genocide. The world threatening stuff is gone, some stuff that was difficult to contain or impossible to destroy became easy to neutralize or contain or been terminated by 6500, etc. That's the plot of 6500 and no return timeline - continuing the foundation as it was would just be unnecessary cruelty/genocide.
That sighting of the paper dragon made me more happy than I feel it should have 😭
“An anomaly that directly harms all other anomalies…”
Me: And what of 1762? Is it Safe? Is it alright?
I think you'll be pleased with the outcome of this one.
Good point! There are some SCPs that must not be destroyed. Another example is the Library of Alexandria.
The sacrament is awesome. You make this series awesome
