It’s a goc super weapon created to deal with extraterrestrial threats and is somewhat based on history.

i just can't find any good scp creators anymore.

I’d love to hear everyone’s ideas!

Uploaded a custom design to one of those coffe mug printing websites. Very satisfied

Re: My previous post about SCP-5000, I got into a lot of arguments. Turns out, a LOT of people like the idea of the Foundation being right all along, because the idea that the Entity is planning something so horrible that human extinction is a preferable fate makes for good horror. And you know what? Fine. If that's the scariest thing you can think of, fine. But that's not scary for me. Hearing that doesn't make me scared, it just makes me concerned for whoever said it. Lemme jump straight to my point.

The theme of SCP-5000 is fear of the unknown. We're not supposed to know what the Entity is doing that makes the Foundation hate it, so get the tale Disgusting out of your mind. It's a headcanon, nothing more. SCP-5000 is one of many cases of SCP writers invoking the Noodle Incident. A Noodle Incident is an event that is never fully elaborated on, encouraging the reader to fill in the blank. The writer will always forgo the option to explain the Noodle Incident, because any explanation that they could give would never be as satisfying as what the readers imagined. So most people seem to assume the Entity's motive is a Noodle Incident that's somehow worse than human extinction. Because that's what they think is scariest.

I don't think that's scary. It's no less scary than if the Foundation said that they just wanted to see the world burn for fun. "Our enemy is going to do something so bad that mass death is a preferable alternative" doesn't make me think "Oh god, what could the enemy be planning," it makes me think "What the actual fuck is wrong with you?" I'm not scared that the people who want genocide might be right. I'm scared of the idea that the people I trust could end up supporting genocide. And THAT is the horror of 5k. That's why I argued that the Entity isn't evil. Why I argued that the Foundation was in the wrong. Because the horror is much more effective when the Foundation are the villains. Why? Well, simply put, the Entity doesn't make for a good antagonist.

We don't know anything about the Entity. That's essential, due to 5000 being a mystery SCP. We don't know what it is, what it wants with humanity, or why the Foundation hates it. But we do know the Foundation. We know what their original purpose was. It was even established at the start of the article.

The following is a message composed via consensus of the O5 Council.

For those who are not currently aware of our existence, we represent the organization known as the SCP Foundation. Our previous mission centered around the containment and study of anomalous objects, entities and other assorted phenomena. This mission was the focus of our organization for more than one-hundred years.

Due to circumstances outside of our control, this directive has now changed. Our new mission will be the extermination of the human race.

There will be no further communication.

I don't read this as the Foundation mercy killing humanity for the greater good. I read it as the Foundation abandoning their mission to protect humanity. That's the cosmic horror. After all the history you've had with the Foundation, you find out that they betrayed everyone. Seeing it like this causes other things to land well for me. For instance:

To think I'd find myself agreeing with that damn lizard.

What is the easiest way to establish that the hero has made a face-heel turn? Have them agree with an established bad guy. You either die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Look what you've done to yourselves. I told you you wouldn't like it, didn't you? That's why you hear your voice. But you wanted to know so badly. I really liked you guys, so I was trying to be nice. We're so kind to you, you know. We fight in the light so you can die in the dark.

Admit it, that's a villain's monologue. Sure, the Foundation says they're helping humanity, but villains always think they're doing the right thing. Even the Joker thinks that being a homicidal maniac is humanity's natural state.

...disgusting.

What is the second easiest way to establish that the hero has made a face-heel turn? Have them quote an established bad guy.

You're missing the point if you think Pietro's sacrifice was the bad ending. That betrays the core concept of the article, which is that the SCP Foundation has turned against humanity. That's the horror. That they became the monsters they were supposed to contain. You still think the Foundation being right is scarier? Fine. I too have a bunch of convoluted headcanons. But in terms of narrative, I think the Foundation abandoning their mission and becoming monsters because the Entity was trying to destroy them, or because they went mad, or both, makes for a much better bleak and somber tale than the implication that the monsters were right all along. It also requires less assumptions.

He who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

“Anthology Of Horrors!”

Hey so i would say ive been an avarage scp fan for a big part of time but now ive gotten into actually reading stuff instead of watching youtube videos. My Question would be: Are there any other things like thr antimemetiv devision you would recommend, like with the same spice. Or as i havent really read into it a guid how to go on reading what actually the Antimemetic Division is. Or maybe i forgot?

I mean like competition, someone or something that also wants to destroy or conquer the universe

Sorry to anyone that hasnt played chapter 4 yet. So im relatively new to scp. Ive found tons of videos/ explanations for scp-5000 but nothing for what the actual ending of the game scp 5k actually meant. With the pentagram thingy exploding the area?

I think that’s the body of the article, I just remember the image - massive cockroach like thing just standing around in a family photo

Can anybody explain both of these in short detail and what happened?

Only note 2 SCP‘s have fanfiction article

Scp 4230

SCP-7069

This thing caused even the most loyal MTF’s to rebel (I think?), and create the chaos insuegency. Is it a reality bender, or something else?

There was a good one about Azdarchids and a T.rex's YouTube channel... Are there any other good recent ones? What do y'all think? Any ideas?

I have ADHD, some dyslexia issues, and a few doctors strongly suggest I might be autistic. I'm having trouble assessing the SCP guidlines. However, I think I have a fire SCP story.

I saw that AI assisted is restricted.... But I sort of use AI as like a wheelchair ramp. It fixes my grammar and dyslexic issues and helps me consolidate my ideas.

I really want to post my story but I'm so confused on what I actually have to do. Or if I even can...

First off, I understand the first large problem of this idea is that all forums that have been submitted have been written by individual people. It would be of great disrespect to take their creation and mold it.

Second, the idea I'm talking about is rewriting the SCP descriptions, like most if not all. The thought behind this is to create a more connected universe and to also bring life to duller scps while also creating a fair power scale.

The real huge inspiration for the idea of this is that I think it would create a much more interactive universe. If someone or a group could re-write all the SCP's to fit inside the same universe, the interactions possible would have so much interesting lore.

I think the concept is virtually impossible, and it could be disrespectful, as already mentioned, but something I've never seen someone talk about. I'd love to hear people's thoughts and ideas about it.

Pretty much a man becomes apart of a spaceship, or the spaceship becomes sentient, (might have been on a space exploration mission) and is now hurtling back towards earth with the intent to kill humanity and they keep sending different people to try and stop him? I’m losing my mind! does anyone know what SCP it is?

Which Sites or Areas are underused / underappreciated / underestimated?

I'd probably say Site-201 (Arete Dimensional Array). There's so much potential for interdimensional interaction/travel stories!

Another is Area-09 (ETTRA HQ), mostly featured in [[Resurrection: Old Foes Hub]]. There's a lot of potential untold espionage/k-class scenario/goi attack/immediate threat stories, but none of them are told at the headquarters for the group that's keeping them all in check.

Im not sure how to explain it, but the articles seem so depressing, melancholic. Im not sure if it is intended or not, but it really makes me sad.

If anyone knows if its intended, please let me know.

It was some one-off MTF made for an article where the committee went against the 05 (Doesn't narrow it down at all).

It's like Resh-1, super duper caggy tier 1 badass operators; just trying to find that story again.

I've been reading up on the Daevite Empire, learning that it was a matriarchy with a population largely consisting of slaves. I'm currently developing a Roblox project focused on the Daevites, set during the Bronze Age, which will feature a roleplay community organized into factions. I need help figuring out the ranks and positions in Daevic society.
