SCP Universe My opinion on what happened to each anomaly in the scp 5000 timeline.

13 Upvotes

I'm going to use my creativity to imagine the fate of several anomalies after the Foundation's revolt against humanity. I will divide it into 3 categories…

Anomalies that were simply neutralized, Anomalies that were used in more specific ways, and Anomalies that were simply released into the void. Don't take it seriously, it's just an exercise in creativity.

SCP 105, 131, 161, 999, 007, 073, 507 were simply neutralized. SCP 2295, despite being peaceful, I don't think it was neutralized. See, this bear could be very useful to the Foundation. Even if personnel no longer feel pain, organ loss would certainly affect soldiers during termination missions. So I think SCP 2295, even though it is naturally peaceful, would still be useful. So I think he's one of the only peaceful anomalies that wasn't neutralized because he would have been useful.

Another interesting case is SCP-166, because her fate will depend on the version we are talking about. If it is the old version, its anomalous effects would not be useful in reducing human lives, so it would be neutralized. However, its new characteristics after being redone would be very useful for destroying cities. So I imagine the Foundation would release it in cities to destroy everything with its effects.

Speaking of the anomalies that were simply released, there isn't much to say about this class. SCP 029, 076-2, 012, 106, 058, 082, 953. These are anomalies that are already inherently dangerous. The Foundation just needed to release these monsters, and they would do the work themselves.

Anomalies that have been used in more specific ways than simply being released, I can mention SCP-053. I believe that the Foundation could send the child to camps with refugee survivors, they would think she is a normal child and they would take her in. Its effects would activate and everyone would die.

Discussion What is y'alls opinion on SCP-531?

3 Upvotes

For me SCP-531 is one of my favorite SCPs but I don't see it talked about a lot. I also don't think it's that dangerous of an SCP seeing as if it's looking at its pair then it's harmless.

Discussion Am I missing something or is 3125 WAY easier to deal with than they make it seem in the Antimemetics division tales?

1 Upvotes

SPOILERS for anyone that hasnt read the "There is no antimemetics division" stories yet.

So the whole idea of 3125 is that it is everywhere in our universe, and if you are aware of it, it is aware of you, and will then kill you and everyone close to you, so its impossible to fight. The way they deal with this is "inverted containment" where there is a special chamber that has been purged of 3125, and so that is the only place its safe to know what 3125 is, and to plan how to stop it. And because knowing about it outside that chamber is fatal, they flood the airlock with amnestics on your way out, and theres also a rule that NO coherent information of any kind can be allowed to leave that room. Once every 6 weeks, someone goes in, learns all this, stays inside for a few hours trying to think of a way to stop it, then leaves, and forgets everything about it on the way out.

But like... Thats not actually necessary? Theres no reason why NO information can be allowed to leave. The only information thats dangerous is the knowledge of what 3125 IS. But you dont actually need to know what it is in order to fight it.

Like, you could write yourself a note that says "Build way more chambers like this that are shielded in the same way, and use them as safehouses. Dont look into why or what youre protecting from." Youd get out of the chamber, read that note, not know WHY you wrote it, but know you mustve had a reason... and so youd do it. And then boom. You have WAY more spaces that are purged of 3125 and safe from it.

Hell, you could write a note saying to build that kind of shielding around the ENTIRETY of site 41, and then you would no longer be restricted to only knowing what youre fighting while inside that one chamber.

Or you could write a note saying "Theres a huge area in the basement thats shielded like this. Go in there and get to to work. Do not think about why or whats in there until you are already inside." Again, no information about 3125 itself, so you wouldnt be attacked.

Or heck, just write a note saying "build a machine to destroy ideas." Again, no info about 3125 itself.

It just feels like there are a LOT of ways around the central obstacle in this saga, but theyre just ignored. Is there more to it that Im missing? or is it just a case of "They dont think of that cause if they did then the story wouldnt happen."

Discussion How does SCP-124 work? Fertile Soil

6 Upvotes

The question I have about this SCP is: What would happen if we put an organism inside it that doesn't grow? For example, a telephone or a rock, or better: What would happen if I asked SCP-294 to give me "All the things that are favorable to the creation of life, in a totally optimal way" and then poured the resulting amount into SCP-124?

Discussion Theory of the pestilence

0 Upvotes

I was deep in thought, and came to the conclusion that the pestilence SCP-049 wants to cure is humanity itself. Humans are killing the earth, and are aware, yet continue to do so. When SCP-049 cures humans, and turns them into reanimated zombies, it strips away the humans free-will, humanity itself. And SCP-049 considers the reanimated zombies cured from the pestilence.

SCP Universe The SPC's worst nightmare.

Post image
152 Upvotes

King Shark, also known as Nanaue, first appeared in Superboy #0 (1994) and was created by Karl Kesel. He is a powerful humanoid shark that has a near-insatiable hunger for destruction. Originally introduced as a villain for Superboy, King Shark was said to be the son of the Shark God, granting him his monstrous appearance and abilities. Considering that he was voiced by Sylvester Stallone in The Suicide Squad, he may have a pataphysical link to Rocky Balboa, a skilled boxer. So, how do you think the Shark Punching Center would deal with this Shark that can punch back?

The translation is "Tick tock", the cuckoo clock ticks. "Cuckoo", the bird inside sings. Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock.

As ticks the time, so ticks your heart. May you live long as you hear its song. Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock.

Listen close, for when it stops the hatchling comes out of its home. Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick-

Did you hear it? Did it stop? My child, it meant your time was up.

What would the FBI UIU do during the events of scp 5000, it may be a stupid question but I find it an interesting and somewhat funny idea.

Edit, I decided I maybe have to add some argumentation 1: The Paramax location

2 three Portlands (Scp foundation may know one entrance but in a tale I remember that there are other ways the SCP foundation does not know)

Idk if its good to post WIP stuff. The scenario is ready and I allready got a Greenlight on my very long idea. In this photo I was going for a really dark and intruging vibes. The story I made will be kind of very deep and will encourage reader to think. Name is: "The one who pulls all the strings" If someone ever needs a photo edit/Art for his SCP Object/phenomenon/entity call me I love helping other people.

Articles to Read Highlighting an Essay and Resource Hub Article: “Sensitive Topics and You” by UraniumEmpire

17 Upvotes

This is one of my favorite Essay and Resource articles. It isn’t a call to avoid writing about sensitive topics. As the author points out, some of the most popular articles on the SCP site deal with sensitive subject matter. The author UraniumEmpire discusses how to write about sensitive topics respectfully and in a way that makes for an interesting story. https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/sensitive-topics-and-you

This resource should be mandatory reading before posting to an ideas forum IMHO. [edit: u/AdjectiveNoun11 made a good point about this tactic backfiring]. I have seen so many ideas that fall flat or are offensive because they are misinformed on the sensitive topics they are trying to talk about, or are well informed about the subject matter but don’t know how to write a story about it respectfully (or worse, they are misinformed and present an offensive story idea). I use the term “offensive” to mean a narrative that reinforces harmful inaccuracies, stereotypes, or beliefs about a sensitive topic. The article has a better articulation of what makes stories offensive. For example, just mentioning or centering a sensitive topic isn’t offensive by itself. I hope people find this article useful!

So, as far as I know, anybody can make their own scp and put it on the wiki, right? If I was to do that, is there a system for getting a number, or do I have to spend an hour making sure there isn't overlap? Am I totally wrong?
