An SCP that could answer every question with "yes" or "no regardless of if the question was a yes or no question. I think it was some sort of small machine with lights that flash for yes or no. The test log had a lot of nonsensical questions that were answered.

Upvotes

I love SCP, have for years now, but I'm curious to if there is stories that focus more on the average personnel in extraordinary circumstances instead of the famous MTFs, or O-5s. The broken masquerade with the Foundation having to make a PR team was pretty neat imo.

Any stories that delve into the lives of the researchers and doctors within the Foundation and how they work in bizzare circumstances?

Meta Post Looking for ancient disease SCP

Upvotes

Hey really sorry for dumb post but I have tried finding an SCP for years and have not been successful.

So i think it was a later series. All i remember is in the incident reports they talk about finding victims of the disease with their stomachs full of dirt. And they traced it back to ancient times because they found trilobite fossils with the same dirt in the digestive tracts of the trilobites.

I think it had some religious themes to it also. Idk. Please help me guys. I know it’s a long shot.

SCP Universe What if the GOC had their own Insurgency?

17 Upvotes

As we all know, the Chaos Insurgency, originally a black ops division of the Red Right Hand, defected from the SCP Foundation as a rejection of the Foundation's core mission. But despite their portrayal as the SCP Foundation's arch nemesis, I see the Global Occult Coalition as a much more appropriate foil. They're the main anomalous research organization in the [[Unfounded]] universe, they're always butting heads with the Foundation but will reluctantly tolerate each other for the sake of protecting humanity, and they're both backed up by actual governments as opposed to the Chaos Insurgency which might as well be a terrorist organization.

Dr. Wondertainment was originally a worker at the Factory, right? And Jude Kriyot of Gamers Against Weed was affiliated with Are We Cool Yet? It's a statistical impossibility for someone to defect from the GOC and start their own group with blackjack and hookers. In SCP-4231, which I will keep referencing 'til Big Charlie the Meat Cow comes home, D.C. al Fine's assistant Coda objects to the director's idea of reviving the Ichabod Campaign. Coda, and I imagine many other Coalition agents, do not want a repeat of the Cornwall Incident. I also imagine at least one of them objects to the idea of killing children just because they were born with magic powers. Yes, I know the Ichabod Campaign is an exception to how the Global Occult Coalition is usually portrayed, and I'm getting to that. You could also argue that Francis/Ukulele/Clef defected because of ideological differences, but judging by the 239 incident and his reality bender seminar, his attitude toward Type Greens didn't change all that much.

The way I see it, there's two ways a GOC civil war could go.

  1. A group of Gocks sympathetic to reality benders or anomalous humans in general could cause the schism. They signed up to destroy dangerous artifacts and power-mad Type Greens, not innocent children. A similar thing happens in my favorite Chaos Insurgency tale, [[Insurrection]]. Course, maybe the Global Occult Coalition was formed in the first place in opposition to the early Foundation's non-interventionist stance, which brings me to the second option.

  2. A group of anti-revisionist Gocks feel that the current GOC is too soft on anomalous humans. They defect and start their own Ichabod Campaign. The motive of the hypothetical splinter group is important, otherwise the defectors might as well just join the Foundation, Insurgency, or the Library.

So, that's my writing prompt or whatever. GOC splinter group, maybe it could exist in the Unfounded universe in lieu of the non-existent Chaos Insurgency.

I apologize if this kind of post is not allowed but this has been driving me crazy. Years ago I read an SCP wiki that has stuck with me but I cannot remember the number. It was about a Bear Grylls type nature YouTuber. I remember the plot was very emotional and had a sad ending. Apart from that I don’t remember much else. Again sorry if this is against the rules or whatever.

Discussion How powerful should the SCP Foundation/SCPs be?

7 Upvotes

One of the most important aspects of the SCP Universe as a concept is defining what it would look like for the government to address general horror concepts and overall anomalous items. In SCP:CB, the organization and the SCPs feel fairly grounded and plausible. The facility feels like the product of a smaller, more secretive and specialized organization which has limited resources to use and account for. The SCPs feel menacing and intriguing with their unique and varied functions and logic, yet are limited for the most part in demonstration. Other interpretations of the Foundation and SCPs, from what I have seen, involve the foundation practically being responsible for all of what happens that is significant in the world, and SCPs being as impactful as being able to end the world. Considering this, what do you guys think the perfect limit is for the level of power for foundation and SCP subjects?

Discussion Could a mansion-style place for gifted young people from the X-Men resist, where all the anomalous human beings could live?

2 Upvotes

It's just a very interesting idea and I would like to see a story/canon based on this idea.

A mansion very similar to the X-Men mansion, where humanoid and peaceful anomalies could live. (Obviously being watched by the Foundation).

There are many anomalies that could live in this place. SCP 2241,166, 507, 191, 105, 040, 527, 085, 187. And many others. There are a very large number of anomalies that could live in this place.

I would really like to see what this story would be like. I think it would be a good canon.

I tried to upload a little GIF/Video but, I can't upload it.

I planned on making this more rendered but, I just loved how it already looked!

So, the situation behind this is, a D-Class somehow got away from the Mobile Task Forces (MTFs). The D-Class went down a hallway they had never been down before, assuming no one was there because it more darker than most hallways. Unfortunately, for the D-Class Zoey and Zee noticed them.....That one D-Class is now horrified of them.

Comment what you think happened between the D-Class and the twins.

Discussion Alt-Right SCP Off-siters, The idea of 4Chan SCP, Authors as vague faceless entities - some thoughts on the disconnect between the off-site and the SCP wiki (T/W Discussion of Bigotry, Transphobia, Alt-right.)

85 Upvotes

Content warning: Discussion of bigotry and transphobia.

I'm writing this late at night and probably not gonna do any proof-reading so, expect some turbulence. This is pretty long. And this is gonna be unfiltered and full of train of thought stuff so ideas might overlap or be in the wrong section.

Swears and certain words has been censored because apparently the subreddit auto-removes that.

Part I: Alt-Right SCP Off-siters.

So a while ago, the official SCP wiki Twitter posted a joke tweet that was slightly trans-adjacent. It was pretty well-received. It got 11k likes, and things were pretty chill for a while. I remember seeing it, looking at the comments and seeing folks being amused and bewildered, then chuckling, then moving on.

Today I remembered that tweet, checked the comments again, and lo and behold, it was like Hitlerville in the comments. Genuinely, some of the vilest conservative nazi alt-right transphobe crap. Everything from suiclde threats to death threats to r@pe threats to all kinds of wojaks, to "[slurs] ruin everything they touch" and all kinds of whining. And I was bewildered as to what happened. Something jumped out at me, though. I noticed all of the alt-right comments were posted on the same day.

I eventually figured out what happened. On that day, some faschie influencer with a following reposted the joke tweet, it was the usual bigoted drivel, which is no surprise on a site owned by a nazi, but it was what he was saying about SCP that got me thinking. He was basically saying that the SCP wiki is proof that communities need gate-keeping, that the 4channers had a good thing going, but they didn't gatekeep, so now it's taken over by woke SJWs and now it's just nothing but crappy fanfics, and that post got 10k likes, and a comment section full of people who completely agrees.

And it occurs to me that a sizeable portion of the off-site actually believes in this demented drivel. Like, I'd seen it before, but this was one of the first times I realized how deeply widespread this belief still persists among the alt-right side of the SCP off-site.

First of all, what the hell are they talking about?

Second of all, it is still baffling to me that people just genuinely construct an imaginary history of the SCP wiki in their head as the foundation to this insane persecution fantasy. Like, obviously, every single point here is wrong. There was no grand take-over, no insidious gay far-left plot that drove out all the cool 4channers even though that wouldn't have been a bad idea. Things change, the site evolved, people left, people joined, that's literally it. Just stupid people pissing themselves at a sight of anything related to minorities.

Now, what's happening is alt-right, already bigoted people hear that SCP was created on 4chan, and that's it. They don't try to look into the evolution of the site over the ages, they sure as crap don't even read the wiki. They can't name "EditThis" with a gun pointed to their head. To them, 4chan is kind of this right-wing holy grail, the last bastion of freedom because you can complain about Jews and minorities ruining America. They don't think of "4chan" as 2007 /x/, they think of it as 2020 /pol/ and /b/ - and when they see that the SCP wiki is accepting of gay and trans people, they do what they always do, they blame a piece of media's acceptance of minorities on any minority that they can. SCP was made by 4chan, so it was cool. But it's okay with trans people, so it's crap now. Obviously what happened here was a grand conspiracy that tragically could have been averted if only those cool 4channers had just gatekept more minorities, who have now taken this once-based, horrifying, deep and philosophical series of stories, like the poop statue, the funny orange blob, the angry lizard, or the completely straight Dr. Alto Clef, and turned it into inane communist propaganda drivel like Undervegas, the long seal, ADMONITION, or Dr. Alto Clef (but gay now).

Or, more likely, they heard all this from some dumbass who's gone through the above process and just blindly accepted it because they're already bigoted, like those 10k people I mentioned.

Let's talk about the idea of 4chan as a driving force behind SCP.

Part II: The idea of 4Chan SCP.

SCP-173 was posted on /x/ in June 2007. There were literally no new SCPs until 3 months later, not including a racist parody of SCP-173. The second SCP was, get this, a statue that killed you if you were too loud near it. Then everyone argued about it since it clearly copied the first, people said that SCP peaked at SCP-173 (because some things never change) then things fizzled out until January when people started talking about it again for the EditThis wiki to be created. After that, SCP activity fizzled out on /x/ as everyone moved onto EditThis.

And that was it.

A lot of what people now recognize about SCP formed on the EditThis wiki - from Object Classes, to the standardized format, to characters like Iris and Cain and Abel. But still, there were only like 300~ SCPs when the EditThis wiki closed and moved to Wikidot, and of those 300~ SCPs, only 70~ SCPs remain, and I'd say that only a small amount of that can be described as iconic. There's no Shy Guy, no Old Man, no 999, no Plague Doctor, all of those came with the Wikidot wiki along with everything else.

But people chalk everything up to 4Chan. Aside from SCP-173, I literally can't remember anything that actually spawned from 4Chan that people consider memorable. And yet, here we are. It's not just bigots, but you see this with a lot of off-site fans as well. This reverence for 4chan, not even /x/ but 4chan generally, as this driving force behind everything iconic about SCP, they anthropomorphize it and they chalk everything they like about SCP to it.

The end result of this is people putting everything they like about SCPs as being responsible not by individual authors but by vague conceptual blobs. And this kinda spreads into every single aspect of SCP discussion. No one really knows what "Old SCPs" and "New SCPs" are just like no one has the same idea of what "Old authors" and "New authors" are. Entire lines of discussions and discourse on the off-site just entirely runs on this crap. Some guy says "SCPs became terrible after 3000" without providing anti identifiable measure of what the difference is between post-3000 or pre-3000 SCPs, people say "New SCPs have so much more pointless redactions" and everyone agrees even if that's just untrue, "Modern SCPs are just Mary Sues and doomsday weapons" and it's widely accepted because no one actually knows what that even means, they just vibe with it. And that's basically what happens with the "4chan created SCP" idea too.

And that's something else I hate.

Part III: Authors as vague faceless entities

Anecdote time. I remember one time on Volgun's Tufto's Proposal video, one of the comments said "Wow, this is a lot different than what I thought the Scarlet King was like" and then another dude responded that "That is because the new authors are trying to kick out the old authors and replace their works by making it more politically correct" and everyone else in the comment section just bought it. They never once say DrClef or Tufto or Djoric or any specific author that they're talking about, just "new authors bad" and "old authors good" and Jesus Christ, it's literally fan-fiction of real people. These authors liked each other's interpretations! It's literally on the first page of discussions of Tufto's Proposal!

And that's another re-occuring traits with this kind of discourse. Bringing back the bigotry incident, when people use "4channers" to vaguely describe the concept of old SCP authors who created foundational works for the series to argue for more bigotry or gatekeeping SCP or to blame trans people for "ruining media" or some other insane crap, they use the vague concept. They know they're lying, so they don't look any further into these "4channers" they're pretending to defend. Because there really are old SCP authors who found SCP on 4Chan and lay foundational works for the series. Hell, there's 4 of them. Half are still active, the other half was at least active in 2021 - way past any point that people insist SCP became "woke" and I'm pretty damn sure all of them are allies.

Administrator Fritz found SCP on 4chan. He created foundational works. He gave an interview in 2021.

Kain Pathos Crow found SCP on 4chan. He created foundational works. He gave an interview in 2021.

Gears found SCP on 4chan. He created foundational works. He's still active.

DrClef found SCP on 4chan. He created foundational works. He's still active.

These people were founding members of the wiki. They've been here from the 4chan days to modern Wikidot, and they were not driven out by "minorities" or "woke people" and yet, are they the people referred to when assholes on the internet talk about "4channers" who created SCP? No, instead, it's some imaginary guy who wrote all the cool SCPs, who implicitly hate gay people (as stereotypical 4channers often do) and has an entire tragic backstory when he was ousted from his own creation after bravely protesting that one time the wiki put up a pride flag logo.

And this is just talking about people who've been here since 4chan days. We're not even talking about classic authors who joined after Wikidot, like Mann or Djoric.

Part IV: End

This is all pretty messed up.

I mean, I know bigotry still exists among SCP fans. It's just after that incident with the 10k likes on a delusional post blaming trans people for "ruining SCP" after the based 4channers created it, I feel like it goes way deeper than I thought. There's something rotting in the far edges of this community, and genuinely, with everything I see, I don't think there's any way to meaningfully address it.

Part of me thinks the best way is to just keep ignoring these dumbasses, but it feels like this stupidity is just so contagious and corrosive. There are genuinely radicalized idiots out there who considers the SCP wiki as part of their chud culture war, that it's some Lost Lenore that they lost and must reclaim, because they identify with imaginary people. And that's what the other part of me is afraid of, because it came out of nowhere for me. I didn't expect that it was that bad out there, and part of me fears that crap'll just get worse out of sight and eventually something'll terrible will happen when these people go past peak delusion.

I don't really know. Chances are more likely it's a nothingburger though. I mean nothing actually happened at the peak of any insipid anti-woke discourse relating to SCP like, ever, so maybe all that's going on is that I'm just putting too much stock into some larpers' crybaby rants. Hell, maybe most of those idiots never even heard about SCP before today.

To any trans folks reading this, know that you are loved and welcome here in the SCP community no matter what crappy people say.
