The self-described worst canon.
trashfoundation
is a Tumblr-based Character Blog of an Alternate Universe of the SCP Foundation wiki. In this AU, Foundation personnel are inexplicably two feet tall, and shenanigans are commonplace: for example, Dr. Kondraki and Dr. Clef regularly go to the local Chipotle to fistfight one another, while Dr. Bright watches the chaos go down.
At least, that was the initial plotline. Things spiraled out from there.

trashfoundation provides examples of:
- Aerith and Bob: On the one hand, most Foundation employees have names that could reasonably be found on normal human beings, excepting those who go by code names. On the other hand, many of the recurring anons and all of the cultists go by emojis.
- Alien Geometries: The aftermath of Dr. Gerald playing a driving game.[Stray vehicle nodes extend in every direction that exists and a few that don't.]
- Altum Videtur: One of Smiley's few memories of their past life is of having taken Latin classes.
- Amnesia Loop: The backstory of the Night Shift.
- An Offer You Can't Refuse: Happened to the Birdhouse Cult at the hands of the Harmony Cult.
- Anticlimax: At the conclusion of the Peachy Unbound event, Dr. Clef's plan to free Bright (Unbound) so that he can release Coffee's bindings is thwarted by an anon placing a Banana Peel in his path.
- Bee Afraid: Dr. Kondraki has recurring problems with bees coming out of hypothetical questions after answering an ask meant for Bright (Unbound).
- Body Backup Drive: SCP-192017 is effectively a collection of these for Dr. King.
- Color-Coded Characters: Kondraki is green, Clef is orange, and Bright is red.
- Dr. Glass is light blue, Iceberg is dark blue, Dr. Gerald is orange (but with a different typing style to distinguish him from Clef), Dr. King is pink, and Dr. Gears is gray.
- Dr. Crow is turquoise (though he types in white), and Dr. Roth is purple. Dr. Veritas is gray, but he types in monospace font.
- Dr. Cimmerian types in orange with a blockquote. Researcher Talloran types in struck-out green.
- Harmony ♡ and ♢ type in red.
- The Chipotle employees and ex-employees also fall into this. Leah is pink, Ed is light blue, and Taylor is green.
- On the Cookie Anon's side, Areli types in purple and Keegan types in light blue.
- And on Peachy Anon's side, Nashi types in purple.
- Smiley types entirely in red after the events of Peachy Unbound.
- Researcher Rose started to sometimes type in red. What or if it means something is not clear at the moment.
- Mortis types in purple and yellow.
- Umbra types in blue.
- Caedes types in red.
- Invicta types in purple.
- Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon: Dr. King is particularly fond of this kind of threat.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Bright (Unbound)'s reaction to supposedly having been called a dookieweenie by 343 is to erase him from reality and usurp his position.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Initially, the blog was supposed to be mostly comedic. The Unbound arc disrupted that, and the Harmony arc put a stop to it almost entirely.
- Image responses, in the vein of traditional Tumblr ask blogs, were much more common.
- Clef was originally supposed to actively remind Bright why the List existed.
- Iceberg, Gerald, and Gears were supposed to be 'not important'.
- Smiley started out being much more hostile, smugly lambasting Iceberg for his role in the Unbound incident; their first appearance was meant to be a one-off.
- Fake–Real Turn: The Trashfoundation's original instance of 3999. As it turns out, making up skips when there are Type Greens around is a very bad idea.
- A Father to His Men: ♡ acts like this.
- Fate Worse than Death: It gets outright stated by ♡, that ☻ would have had this fate if ♤ had noticed it. This is likely a lie, since ♤ is used by ♡, ◇ and ♧ to intimidate and keep their followers under control. Given the soul-trapping incidents and his display during the attack on a Harmony base, ◇ is likely the one who would carry this out.
- This likely happened to the Zalgo anon.
- Coffee might soon share the same fate as Zalgo anon.
- Fisher Kingdom: Anyone who enters invariably winds up becoming Fun Size d.
- A Good Name for a Rock Band: Unbound Bixby Riot.
- Gratuitous Foreign Language: Several anons speak in this.
- Harmless Freezing: Subverted during the New Years' event. When Iceberg freezes Bright, it kills the body he's using at the moment.
- Knight of Cerebus: Bright (Unbound).
- Last-Name Basis: The norm for Foundation personnel.
- Taylor also falls under this. Their first name is Arden.
- Lethal Klutz: Dr. Gerald. After a vengeful researcher put him through SCP-914 on Fine, even him running too fast is enough to make things start exploding.
- Memory Gambit: An odd example during the aftermath of the Chaos Insurgency raid. Since Bright has become aware of his past existence as a Reality Warper, Smiley takes the risk of telling Bright in detail just what he did with his power - but they narrate his actions from their perspective, letting their own emotions influence how they tell the story, so that it might invoke a sympathetic reaction in Bright.
- Noodle Incident: The accident that led to Iceberg becoming a Type Green.
- There are a lot of these in the backstory. As a general rule, most of them are Bright (Unbound)'s fault.
- Not Quite Flight: 🕴️ has this. It doesn't work when they're dazed, however.
- Only Sane Man: Unusually compared to other depictions of him, Bright fills this role most of the time, though Clef, Gears, and Kondraki have also been known to hold the brain cell.
- Playing Card Motifs: The Harmony Cult's leaders all go by the symbol for a card suit.
- Put Them All Out of My Misery: Particularly destructive events are practically guaranteed to have at least one person contemplate this.Smiley: It never fucking fails. Everytime something goes wrong, someone's always going to be like, "welp, looks like things have gone completely pear shaped, no other way out of it now, we're going to have to destroy the canon!"
- Reality Warper: Also known as "Type Greens" or "Bixbies". Clef is one, just as he is in various interpretations of the source material; Iceberg is another, albeit with lesser powers, after a research accident. Bright is also one, not that he remembers it.
- Several members of the Harmony Cult also fit this description.
- All magic anons are this.
- Really Was Born Yesterday: All members of the Chipotle Cult.
- Religion of Evil: If the Harmony Cult isn't this, then it's doing its PR all wrong.
- The Remnant: All pre-existing Groups of Interest are this after Bright wiped most of their membership from reality, most notably the Chaos Insurgency.
- Renegade Splinter Faction: The Chaos Insurgency, as in canon.
- Ridiculously Human Robots: Dr. Gears is one.
- Running Gag:
- Frogs in general:
- Holding various personnel "gently like a frog".
- Using frogs as a metaphor for Reality Warpers.
- Attempts to pit Reality Warpers against each other by telling one that another has called them the word "dookieweenie".
- Frogs in general:
- Sadist: ♧, and, to an extent, the rest of the Harmony Cult.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Bright (Unbound) is this.
- Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: That person being his amnesiac self.
- Stealth Pun: The lolFoundation arc. lolBright leaves, and lolKondraki forgets about him. lolClef gets banished, and lolKondraki nearly forgets him, too. They're out of site, and therefore, out of mind.
- String Theory: Smiley has one hosted on their blog (the URL is ironic) detailing the Harmony Cult. It's mostly devoted to Unicode-based speculation.
- Superpowered Evil Side: Bright (Unbound) is this to Bright.
- The Unpronounceable: How in the world are you supposed to pronounce emojis?
- Walking Spoiler: Bright (Unbound) is this.
- What Could Possibly Go Wrong?: The Foundation decided to attack the Harmony Cult for once. It was cut short by ◇ killing Coffee and ♧ shapeshifting into SCP-682.
- The Woobie: ☻.
- Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: The Chaos Insurgency seems to think of itself this way.
- "Have a Nice Day" Smile: ☻'s Harmony Cultist mask and, well, name are a smiley face. Smiley also signs a multitude of their posts and asks with smiley faces.
