It's also the real reason why the only known can of Panacea pills exists in such limited quantity, because the O5 Council is keeping the secret of creating more magic healing pills between themselves.
Something that's perceived as negative that others try to fix or destroy? Check.It can't be coincidental that both of these anomalies are found on Mt. Everest and responsible for killing lots of climbers, even doing so in very similar ways (by draining body heat from people and freezing them to death). Hell, maybe 1529 is even responsible for creating the 5140 corpses in the first place.He IS Garfield, and he's gone insane because of his time in the SCP Universe. The anomalous comic strips depict his first visit to the SCP universe, where no one he knows exists. The last of the anomalous strips depicts Garfield losing his sanity, and every manifestation afterwards has SCP-3166 attacking everything in sight because HE DOESN'T KNOW HE'S ATTACKING PEOPLE. He thinks he's still in his universe surrounded by his friends and family.

Most of God's power has been divided between Father and Son aspects. Mr. Deeds has much more limited power, but also seems far more reasonable and knows much more that 343 or 239, so he might inhibited most of God's infinite wisdom, but can use it only to answer questions he has been asked. The Son absorbed all feminine aspects of God, thus explaining why his form is of a little girl. 239 doesn't remember being a part of Holy Trinity, neither does Mr. Deeds. 343 remembers being God and creating the Universe, but he doesn't remember separation and thinks he's whole, that's why he doesn't try to reunite with either 239 or Mr. Deeds., the result was noted as being very similar to SCP-447... was exposed to a hard copy of its own experiment log, it briefly created an endless Recursive Reality. A similar experiment was run using SCP-826 and gave the same result. This raised the possibility that the SCP Foundation and the world around it may already exist within some kind of printed document. Since then, guest researcher Fred has become the target of many suspicions.. to dispatch 682 (536 creates localized alterations of cosmic constants like strong nuclear force and speed of light—a pocket Eldritch Location, essentially), not only did it not work, despite successfully dispatching tissue samples, it seemed like 682 was enjoying it. Never mind Earthly life forms—our cosmos is an Eldritch Location to it. So guess how it views the creator of such a dominion...or would view..., Dr. Bright (the writer) said that in his personal canon, Jack Bright has an older brother, Mikell (aka "05-6" aka "Agent Cowboy"), and a younger brother, TJ (aka SCP-590). In the Foundation Tale titled We're Off To Be The Lizard, Dr. Bright (the character) confirms having a sister named "Claire Pierce." One of Dr. Bright's entries in the Wanderer's Library, The Tale Of The Brothers, details three brothers and two sisters as descendants of the Prophet. The three brothers are clearly Mikell, Jack, and TJ, and the "other [sister] who runs from her blood" must be Claire, as the first sister is said to have been stillborn. In Bright's SCP-001 Proposal, 05-1 refers to Jack's father as "Adam." 321 is female. Her parents are named Adam and Evelyn in 321's report, which Dr. Bright also authored. Both of these Adams were 05's. (Admittedly, the Adam from 321's page worked his way up to 05 status from Junior Researcher, while the Adam from the 001 proposal was a founding member, and thus was an original 05. Also, 321-Adam's last name has only five letters, and could not be "Bright" as 001-Adam's was.) time the foundation had used thematically appropriate numbers.. If it were let loose, it converts everything around it into exotic matter, resulting in the frequent loss of sites.. and the only thing that holds it in place is an electromagnetic force, something that can affect the Strangelet.. sort of. show that the Foundation might not exactly be working as it claims. Specifically, the Fountain of Youth would be tremendously useful within the Foundation in prolonging the lives of personnel working with some fatal and/or Keter SCPs. Instead, the O5 are taking it all for themselves. And consider the hidden note at the end of the O5 note in SCP-231. The real reason why they don't want to save her may be that without the threat it poses to the world, the higher-ups would lose some of their power. And damned be it if they have to endanger the world to hold on to that power., SCP-999 is the child of SCP-231-7, and SCP-682 is the child of SCP-231-4. 682 had a unique reaction to 999, finding it annoying but not being aggressive towards it. 682 also had unique reactions to 053 and 173. Perhaps it's because they are siblings, and thus the only beings that 682 considers its equals. 682 is weaker than both, so it appeals to 053's good nature, and since 173 has no good nature, 682 is instead terrified of it and repels it as much as possible.
after an experiment in Boston, and it fell into the hands of a civilian. His friends and family, as well as the people who had been on the train with him, were given amnestics; however, the story leaked out before the agents could wipe everyone's memories, so the song was released to cover up the incident. "Did you hear about that guy who couldn't get off the MTA?" "Oh yeah, that's just a political campaign song. Supposedly he couldn't get off because he didn't have the exit fee. They don't actually stop you from leaving, that would be ridiculous.". shows that when attacked the Unclean bleed a form of the Lord's Tears that appears to be the same color and consistency as the liquid leaking from the Smiling Man's eyes and body. The Smiling Man himself is an apparently omniscient extradimensional entity— for all we know, he could have revisited that dimension and served as the catalyst for the events leading to the world behind SCP-093 being what it is now., 096 was an anomalous human, but somehow mutated into the SCP we know today? Why does 096 hate it when people look at its face? The warning signs were Tarrare trying to eat as much as he could see, and that's devolved into "eat whoever looks at me". 096's peacefulness and lack of much intelligence when not looked at is because Tarrare was never really smart and didn't like his condition. Possibly eating a baby was the first sign of his transformation into SCP-096. His death by tuberculosis was just a cover story once he could no longer pass for human. while SCP-1959 is still stuck in orbit. of its victims. It can also take on the appearance of someone whose memories it absorbed, but this is only an illusion, and its actual physical body is small enough to fit inside a briefcase. It can't actually control itself, but through its existence alone, it is capable of bringing about an end-of-the-world scenario. is at least true in broad strokes. tl;dr SCP-001 is a Mechanical Abomination created when the Church of the Broken God tried to revive Mekhane using SCP-882, assuming it was its heart, only for it to have actually been created by the Factory. Maybe the actual heart of the Broken God is a more refined and benign mesh of clockworks. Though it hasn't been connected to the Broken God mythos, this could simply mean the SCP Foundation hasn't put two and two together...or they have and want to make sure the Church of the Broken God isn't motivated to try and steal 914. is to be believed) is an Eldritch Abomination that has been around for decades. 5094, on the other hand, takes the form of a friendly Picasso-esque teacher, is only found (so far) in copies of Miss J's Whiz Kidz Schoolhouse, and can make a kid (usually one lonely/downtrodden) into an expert in any field. So maybe 5094 is a God of Good as opposed to 993's God of Evil
"The Pestilence" that SCP-049 is trying to cure is the exact same quality about humans that SCP-682 finds disgusting, and is also the same mind-controlling parasitic entity described in SCP-5000.
Something that's found in all of humanity? Check. Something that's perceived as negative that others try to fix or destroy? Check.It can't be coincidental that both of these anomalies are found on Mt. Everest and responsible for killing lots of climbers, even doing so in very similar ways (by draining body heat from people and freezing them to death). Hell, maybe 1529 is even responsible for creating the 5140 corpses in the first place.He IS Garfield, and he's gone insane because of his time in the SCP Universe.

The Foundation is SCP-001.
Think about this: how exactly does one get thousands of disposable employees, complete government trust, and a private army to boot? All a little crazy, right? An SCP is a universal anomaly that acts in a certain arbitrary manner: the only canon in SCP Foundation is that any logical presumption is not universal. The Foundation is a memetic entity with the desire to create an internally consistent universe, nearly always refusing to use SCP objects for non-SCP-related benefit. That's why it's so ruthless or even reckless with human life. It's not "protecting" humanity, or even itself, because it's a universal self-maintenance mechanism, a sort of governance for the multiverse, easily capable of Donnie-Darko-style attracting people to itself to maintain the cosmic hierarchy.- Semi-confirmed: There's actually a proposal for SCP-001 built on this very idea. It's hard to read and understand, but the basic implication is exactly as you've said - the Foundation itself is SCP-001, and that's how it's Ass Pulling its resources.
Everything in the SCP universe is an anomaly
We know that there are several SCP's that have abilities that only activate when a certain action is performed. For example SCP-674, if you didn't point it at a TV show then you never would have discovered it's anomalous properties. So every object in the world might have anomalous properties that just have really specific activation parameters.- In a way, that makes sense if you read the article explaining exactly what a mimetic effect is. It isn't an effect bestowed on someone by an anomaly, it's a trigger unlocking latent aspects of the brain, be it special powers or the desire to "strangle your your companions with your own intestines."
The reason the Keter-class beings didn't end the world before the Foundation started is because they naturally keep each other in check.
Many of the highly destructive beings seem aware of one another and often mutually inimical, like when SCP-682 recognized and fought SCP-017. There is a higher, self-sustaining cosmic order to the universe that humans do not understand. The Foundation is an annoyance and is messing up this balance of the cosmos, potentially destroying existence.- There's actually a proposal for SCP-001 built on this very idea.
Facts are redacted in order to make SCPs scarier, so that governments will tolerate the Foundation.
SCPs are edited to be as scary as possible. The first SCP is not a doomsday monster but merely a fetal creature. It will haunt your nightmares certainly, but it can't threaten the universe. SCPs are not Lovecraftian and beyond our comprehension: they only seem that way because of redactions, blackboxes, and expunging. The Foundation has a vested interest in its mystery: that's the only way governments will trust its ruthless methods are just, and ruthless methods are massively profitable.- Jossed, if SCP-835 is any indication. That article's purpose is to specifically show the sort of things that get redacted from SCP entries, and it's THAT bad.
Every SCP was created by SCP-914
SCP-914 is one of the few SCP's that creates unique anomalous objects, and has by far the greatest range of possible effects.At some point in the past (either before or after falling into Foundation custody) SCP-914 was used to create every SCP that the foundation has contained. SCP-001 is what caused/created SCP-914.
SCP 343 isn't God.
He simply wishes to heavily imply he is God, to mess with the Foundation. In the SCP universe, God doesn't exist, because God made the universe fundamentally sane, and SCP canon fundamentally isn't. If the Foundation was doing His will and God didn't want to interfere in stuff like the constant attempts to kill SCP-682, that doesn't make sense either: why would God show up in the first place if he didn't want to interfere? isn't God.- Cain would probably disagree on there not being a God part.
- Just because he doesn't fit the common perception of God, doesn't mean he is not actually God in the SCP universe. For all we know, scp-343 very well could be God, and simply created the universe to see what would happen.
SCP-882 is the heart of god from The God And World and SCP-835 is The God Of Flesh it fought with.
The Church of the Broken God want to bring back the Gear God and will try to destroy any other SCPs that correspond to the other areas in the story.- Close, but no cigar; the God of Flesh is most likely SCP-610, AKA The Flesh That Hates, AKA YALDABAOTH; it is also likely related to the practices of the Sarkic cult, which is basically the Church of the Broken God except with tumors and other Body Horror instead of gears.
SCP-962 worships the broken god.
The thing inside 962 believes that a "GREAT ONE" was shattered during the creation of the earth and later turned into the "GREAT ONES", AKA humankind. The church of the broken god believe that their god was, well, broken at some point in the past, and are trying to put him back together. Both centre around various metals, with 962 twisting various specimens of wildlife into a humankind shape, and the church offering metal as sacrifices, as well as augmenting some members with clockwork limbs.TV Tropes is the real SCP Foundation.
The SCP Foundation website is a cover-up.- Alternatively, rather than merely being a recruiting tool for Red Shirts, we deal with keeping all the nasty memetic stuff contained and—Oh, Crap!! Bond Villain Stupidity is loose! How could we have left all the necessary information on how to escape just lying around?!
- Nah, the real big jobs go to the Public Library system, Tesladyne, and the BPRD. We just catch what gets through. The SCP Foundation is a red herring.
Dr. Clef isn't just lying about himself, he's lying about everything.
None of his adventures that he writes about are in any way true at all.- This story implies that all his adventures are due to a corruption of an ordinary scientist's records by the fan-fic plague
- Well, it implies that his differing origin stories are caused by SCP-732, but as for his exploits at the Foundation, Clef doesn't write all of those pages himself, and cross-checks by more reliable authors' pages seem to check out stuff that isn't explicitly stated otherwise.
- A major containment breach has resulted in the plague infecting most/all of the SCP database, which is why there is no canon, at least half of the entries are just 'fanfiction' based on the original documents.
- Well, it implies that his differing origin stories are caused by SCP-732, but as for his exploits at the Foundation, Clef doesn't write all of those pages himself, and cross-checks by more reliable authors' pages seem to check out stuff that isn't explicitly stated otherwise.
The SCP Wiki is part of a cover-up
The REAL SCP Foundation publicizes some of its most leak-prone materials through the site so that if the documents actually are linked they'll get traced back to the wiki and written off as a boring 4chan micro-fiction project.- That's not a Wild Mass Guess, that's explicitly stated repeatedly.
- Except no, it isn't.
- You realize, of course, this implies that the REAL Foundation is covering up shit that's so dangerous, their willing to let information about SCP-682 get out because it's not as bad by comparison?
- Rather, SCP-682 is one of the most likely of the SCPs to be heard about. Anybody who claims that a disaster was caused by 682's escape will be ignored as a nutcase who reads too much internet.
- No. That's not the horrifying part. They're covering up shit that's so dangerous that they're willing to fully disclose SCP-835.
- No. The horrifying part is that it's so dangerous that they've not only disclosed SCP-1048, but disclosed that SCP-1048 has breached containment.
- This also explains why the site admins hate it when you mention SCPs as being real. Because they're in on it too.
Dr. Palmer doesn't really exist.
Nothing proves her existence, just a handful of namedrop moments... no profile page, no photography, nothing.- That's because (with a few rare exceptions) only actual site members are more than namedrops.
- Perhaps the foundation itself is a memetic hazard. The reason 001 has multiple proposals is because the parts of all members (Even Clef) that has yet to be infected is trying to express itself. And the reason they crack down on other memetic hazards is because the foundation doesn't want competition.
- Wrong. The REAL SCP-001 is A button that destroys everything when you push it.
- Note: this is now officially canon (to those who accept Scantron's 001 as canon).
- Wrong. The REAL SCP-001 is A button that destroys everything when you push it
SCP-239 never believed what the Foundation told her.
They told her she was a witch, and they were an order of magic users. She alters reality to how she thinks it is. So if she really believed them, why hasn't reality changed to match?- Her powers were stated to be localized or What she can see, she can change
- It's stated that her powers apply to herself though.
SCP-239 is the daughter of SCP-3812.
The SCP-3812 article mentions a hospital that is destroyed, and the sole survivor is a baby that is then classified as SCP-239. What if SCP-3812 wasn't actually "lashing out" as the Foundation believes, and was actually looking for his partner and child, but his powers went out of control for whatever reason. Perhaps SCP-239's powers weren't caused by SCP-3812, but inherited from him.SCP-610 is BLACKLIGHT.
- The infected are hive-minded, and seek to mindlessly infect everyone else.
- Both can deform an infected person.
- Both can infect non-organic structures, and have done so on a wide scale.
- Both are predominantly a sickly red in color.
- Both are being combated by a secret agency.
- Both cause zombies and special types of zombies.
- Confirmed by its original author on the talk page.
The SCP Foundation is a front organization... for the exact same organization
- Something this bizarre appearing on the internet is bound to be dismissed, at first, as fiction
- Although there will be counter arguments that it's all true
- The debate and conflicting views, while drawing attention, don't actually draw attention to the SCPs or organization itself, just to those involved in the debate. The conspiracy theorists, weirdos, skewed people, cynics, pseudo-cynics who don't actually know, people arguing one side over the other. And not any of the important stuff. These just mark it as another "thing off the internet" and not of any great concern...
- And what better way to mask the Foundation, than by not trying to hide it? After all, anything that looks even vaguely like a cover up will be subject to wild and bizarre theories and possibly the truth.
- So you don't cover it up at all, allowing the Foundation to be easily hidden by the smoke of the internet
- And a second layer, by having someone explain this, as yet another crazy theory
- and so on...
- ...and so on...
- Definitely: "Maintaining the Masquerade," item 1
- Plus, this would allow the general public to know how to defend themselves against these anomalies without having to know of their existence.
Theta Prime isn't a number
Although dangerous, it is possible to store Theta Prime electronically. given the fact that computers are designed using our "flawed" mathematics, any attempt to store it electronically would have to store the symbol used to represent it, rather then the numerical value itself. Thus, Theta Prime's unusual properties are a result of the symbol used to represent it. The formula that proves Theta Prime's existence as a number is flawed, but the symbol for Theta Prime hypnotizes anyone who sees it into being unable to find fault in that formula or any other that supposedly proves its existence as a number. isn't a number- Except that the symbol for Theta Prime is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: the Greek letter theta with a prime symbol.
- Except that the symbol for Theta Prime is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: the Greek letter theta with a prime symbol
Theta Prime is the result of pi being broken
The Rules of The Internet clearly state: "Any breaking of pi will result in pi being broken. No one knows the consequences. You have been warned."Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked pi, and now here we are.- And the realization of this is what prompted the creation of SCP-4628
Theta Prime is a number from another dimension
We didn't miss a number. A number was added, from some other universe, and it integrates itself into anything it can break by screwing up the number system that thing works off of.529's hindquarters exist
They are merely not attached to the front half, and are wandering around somewhere.- Dirk Gently was looking for them in The Salmon of Doubt.
- They found them in SCP-004.
If the "Global Occult Coalition" Wiki is successful, "The Church of the Broken God" and "Marshall, Carter, and Dark, Ltd." will also gain wikis.
- Just imagine how the sites would look: CBG's site would be full of various "relics" and "lore", similar to SCP foundation, but with a pseudo-religious Path of Inspiration feel to it, and some sort of Metaplot. The MCD wiki, on the other hand, would be a virtual catalog supernatural artifacts, with "Customer Reviews" detailing objects... "issues"...
- Not exactly confirmed, but "The Serpent's Hand" got a wiki, so it seems plausible.
- Here's Marshall, Carter & Dark's catalog.
- And now The Church of the Broken God has one, too.
SCP-107-J is Bananaphone
Remember the animation that made it a meme for a while? It played in a guys head until he went practically comatose and died, and then one of the other guys in the animation started hearing it. SCP-107 is Bananaphone is a bit more extreme, but it's otherwise quite similar...- Congratulations, you found the joke.
, the Trinity got separated. Most of God's power has been divided between Father and Son aspects. Mr. Deeds has much more limited power, but also seems far more reasonable and knows much more that 343 or 239, so he might inhibited most of God's infinite wisdom, but can use it only to answer questions he has been asked. The Son absorbed all feminine aspects of God, thus explaining why his form is of a little girl. 239 doesn't remember being a part of Holy Trinity, neither does Mr. Deeds. 343 remembers being God and creating the Universe, but he doesn't remember separation and thinks he's whole, that's why he doesn't try to reunite with either 239 or Mr. Deeds.Following above theory, SCP-682 is an anomaly created by separation of Holy Trinity
That's why 343 cannot see it and claims he didn't create it. 682's existence is possible by God's absence and it cannot die as long as the Trinity is broken. Once 343, 239 and Mr. Deeds unite again, the first thing reborn God will do is to destroy 682.SCP-447 was somehow created from dead bodies
The evidence? When a corpse was run through SCP-914 was somehow created from dead bodies, the result was noted as being very similar to SCP-447...- Not just similar; it was identical.
- Not only that, but SCP-447-2 run through the "Rough" setting produced a human corpse that [DATA EXPUNGED].
- Confirmed here, at least the 166 part. The part about him being Satan is almost confirmed, if it weren't for the word "maybe"...
When SCP-447 comes into contact with dead bodies, it creates The Zombie Apocalypse from #93.
All the evidence is there; look at the final log for SCP-093 and 914's experiment log..- This turns 447 from funny to pants-shitting.
- So would that mean that SCP-447-2 is His Holy Tears?
SCP-231-7's whatever-the-fuck-that-is feeds on pain:
Okay, so the first 231 gave birth but was not put through Montauk beforehand, and was not touched by the Foundation: Casualties in the thousands. Now consider 231-5, who gave birth later in a botched Montauk attempt, after probably having gone through it for God know how many times - that means the pain the fetus absorbed was gigantic. That it wiped out an entire Foundation site (usually very large) proves that its damage is proportional to the pain the abomination has eaten upon giving birth.- And the know-how to Procedure Montauk was provided by the cultists' documents, who obviously wanted the damage to be as large as possible. It's possible the documents were left behind to trick Well-Intentioned Extremist like the Foundation into breaking things. It also explains why there's a note saying the Foundation isn't looking to cure her, because "they've got exactly what they want where they want it". After such repeated Montauks, ever stopping would truly cause the end. As bad as it seems, the Foundation are having the best cards possible for now, hence "what they want where they want".
SCP-231's [DATA EXPUNGED] is another SCP-682
The Montauk Monster was a corpse that washed up on a beach that looks like a monster. The picture of SCP-682 is of a similar oddity. The procedure to eliminate SCP-231's [DATA EXPUNGED] is called 110-Montauk. Everyone at SCP is terrified of SCP-682. If she's going to give birth to one, it makes sense that they'd go to ridiculous, hideous lengths to prevent it.- Or, SCP-682 was the child of SCP-231-6, with the first 5 being weaker versions that the foundation eventually managed to destroy, which explains even better why they'd go to such lengths to make sure SCP-231-7 never gives birth.
- Of course the reason the births of the children of SCP-231-1, SCP-231-2, SCP-231-3, SCP-231-4, SCP-231-5 and SCP-231-6 were getting worse after each one could be because the first child AKA SCP-682 has been eating the other latter children and getting stronger from each one's assimilation(the 2 SCP-682s the original was split into were at half mass and when one devoured and assimilated the other it reached the original SCP-682's mass) which is something the foundation would like to avoid.
SCP-682 is actually a retarded form of its species.
Imagine. Even slightly dumber or weaker or less superadapting than the rest of its kind. And now think how hard it is for the Foundation to keep it under control, and what might have happened if, say, a normal specimen was out in the world...- Maybe it's a baby one and is just cranky because it wants its mother.
- And the mother is SCP-055?
Someone in the Foundation is named Fred.
When SCP-423 was exposed to a hard copy of its own experiment log, it briefly created an endless Recursive Reality. A similar experiment was run using SCP-826 and gave the same result. This raised the possibility that the SCP Foundation and the world around it may already exist within some kind of printed document. Since then, guest researcher Fred has become the target of many suspicions.SCP-208 is Santa Claus.
He's a short and stout (i.e. fat) man with a beard, is really friendly, is fond of children and makes everyone around him feel good. Sounds like a match to me.The reason you can't see 055 is because it's an Eldritch Abomination.
Think about it. Maybe the reason you can't see it is because You Cannot Grasp the True Form of it. It's so horrible, so awful, so downright terrifying that your mind instantly erases it form memory. is because it's an Eldritch Abomination.- That makes waaay too much damn sense,
- And is also kind of supported by one story where a D class walks into SCP-028 and starts screaming about an unstoppable destructive force, "At Site 19… number Fift…" before forgetting everything he was saying...
- And is also kind of supported by one story where a D class walks into SCP-028
Warren Ellis is a member of SCP Foundation
C'mon, some of their SCPs looks like something he could pull out.The reason you can't see 055 is because it's Milhouse.
Because Milhouse is not a meme. (Sorry.) is because it's Milhouse.- Wait, since when is there a 055?
- "Everything's coming up [EXPUNGED]!"
SCP-231-7 is not an SCP, nor will it ever give birth to one.
There are no SCP-231-1 through SCP-231-6. The SCP Foundation made up that story. What is SCP-231-7, really? She's just some little girl that the Foundation was able to kidnap. They now use her to do psych evaluations for the squicky stuff that DOES have to be done; to make sure that the D-Class really is willing to do anything. Further, as she ages at a normal rate, there is a continuous rotation—when the current SCP-231-7 gets too old to invoke the intended psychological effect, they terminate her and get a new one. is not an SCP, nor will it ever give birth to one.- Surely there are infinitely less convoluted and expensive ways to test that? The Foundation have enough problems getting hold of enough D-class as it is, and since they have to put potential workers through a round of psychological tests before even letting them know 231 exists, this theory is a bit wasteful of time and money.
- Someone in Something Awful's SCP thread found a comment that said there is no 231: the whole story is just a Secret Test of Character to prepare potential researchers for the terrible things they'll have to do to in order to protect the world and if they can't handle it "a very bored guard with a gun" can take care of them. It can't be proved either way thanks to the magic of No Continuity.
The universe is expanding because SCP-184 is not contained in an object.
Which also means new and increasingly... off universes are being continually created by the thing. It may be better to contain it in a cardboard box. is not contained in an object.- You may be onto something...
SCP-040 is an Artificial Human.
She was told by a man called Mr. Green that she had no parents, this is because he created her. is an Artificial Human.SCP-040-1A is causing harm to SCP-040.
SCP-040-1A is a symbiotic life form that feeds on nutrients from 040's bloodstream. It's likely that it is taking too many from her which is why she has sensitive skin and brittle hair.If this is true, that encounter would have been the inspiration for this song.Now, if we find out Anal Cunt is hiding a time machine, we'd have to check to see if they actually went back in time and voted for Hitler.
SCP-682 was once human
He somehow gained access to the ability to self-modify, and decided he really, really didn't like human existence.From 343's viewpoint: 682 is so alien that he can't sense it at all, and he knows he never created anything like that. 682: When they tried using SCP-536 was once human to dispatch 682 (536 creates localized alterations of cosmic constants like strong nuclear force and speed of light—a pocket Eldritch Location, essentially), not only did it not work, despite successfully dispatching tissue samples, it seemed like 682 was enjoying it. Never mind Earthly life forms—our cosmos is an Eldritch Location to it. So guess how it views the creator of such a dominion...or would view...The SCPF and GOC are actually led by the same person/people.
While the obviously sane thing to do is have one organization dedicated to preserving certain artifacts and destroying others, you run into the problem of people who are variously concerned only with preservation or destruction, not both. Solution: Create one organization for each in order to streamline the preservation and destruction, and get those only-interested-in-one-aspect candidates. Create a fiction of independent existence and rivalry for further catalyzing. If you're nefarious enough (like certain rumors about Clef indicate), you can even use the GOC to further world conquest goals by tricking them into thinking certain artifacts are too dangerous to humanity to exist... and thus have them destroy things whose very existence made your conquest more difficult...- One tale posits that the same person runs most if not all of the major groups of interest in the 'verse.
- One tale
Exposing 447 to dead bodies...
...Causes the bodies to reanimate. And sing show tunes. Really bad show tunes.- Now, is that really a terrible enough scenario that faking contact will cause O5 personnel to shit their pants with fear? (See the list of Things Dr Bright Is No Longer Allowed To Do.)
- You're underestimating just how bad these show tunes really are. Have you ever heard "Over the Rainbow" sung acappella by a bunch of people with, at best, half their vocal chords intact? And never stopping?
SCP-272 is the key to killing SCP-682
It's probably greatest tool for inflicting vigorous amounts of physical trauma at astronomic speed ever conceived; it's just a matter of getting a fast moving and/or powerful enough light source to maximize the distance between the thing we want to kill and its shadow. We could probably create a light strong enough to pin its shadow to the moon, for starters. And it'd be interesting to see how this tremendous intellect reacts to the insanity effect if it can be pinned in place for three days, which in its regular sedated state doesn't seem unlikely. . .- nope it was tested and failed, he just started glowing.
106 and 035 are connected
Think about it. They both secrete corrosive fluid, the both torture for fun (albeit in different ways) and they both poses space warping abilities. if that was not enough, 035 host degrades physically but continues to function. 106 is in an advanced state of decay but still functions.The Black Lord's banishment from the Kingdom of Alagadda resulted in his mask being separated from his body.
Reading between the lines on how he was "cast into some dreadful dimensional backwater", the Wearer of the Anguished Mask (SCP-035) has been exiled to the Crapsack World of Earth. While the mask's fate is known, the state of the rest of him is overlooked. resulted in his mask being separated from his body.SCP-096 is a juggernaut of a being that isn't quite human, it's most damning features being its regenerative powers and facial features... features that can quite easily be covered by a mask. 035's acids would destroy normal users - that's why 682 has caught its interests - so 096 probably could fit the purpose as well. There's an odd compatibility between the two: a calculating, cultured mask that stains its wearer with a black acid contrasting a ballistic, feral creature with a cursed face and the capability of wearing it for the long run. Together, they would be balanced.
682 is female.
053's picture with the Desire Camera showed her playing with 682, with the monster wearing a frilly dress. If anyone's equipped to identify whether 682 is female or not, it's probably 053. This leaves open the horrible possibility that it may breed.- Nature will find a way. Oh, boy.
231-7 knows damn well what she's carrying, and was in on the cultists' plan.
Well, you can tell yourself that so you can sleep at night ... But it is within the realms of possibility, considering the Foundation has already encountered cases of the Enfant Terrible. Even if she wasn't keen to actually release it on the world before, she probably is now. Wouldn't you be? The Procedure may or may not be something perfectly harmless. The heavy restraints and suicide prevention are because 231 is actively trying to release her monster. Not as far-fetched as it sounds; the white-text poem includes the line "her screaming cries did shake the skies as she called out for her king".Procedure 110-Montauk is tickles!
They expunged the data so the ridicule of the situation would have as little exposure as possible. is tickles!Procedure 110-Montauk isn't done to SCP-231-7.
It's done to the extracted fetus: Possibly the only thing worse than everything implied by 110-Montauk is being forced to watch it happen to your own offspring as you're restrained to the bed. Then after they're done having their way with it they force SCP-231-7 to administer a Mercy Kill.- Expanding on this; simply removing the thing has been shown to activate it. Once it's been neutralised, it has to be put back, either the way it came out or by forcing her to eat it.
- Alternatively to the above, but not contradicting the original suggestion, the point of Procedure 110-Montauk isn't just torture - it's to ritually kill or sacrifice the baby, either to appease the eldritch or to ensure it can't be used as a viable host. But then they need a new foetus to serve as the next failed host/sacrifice for the entity...
231 is actually contained within a main SCP site.
The convoluted method of getting there is just a red herring.557 originally contained 682.
Mention is made of the "bastard son of Apep"; Apep was a serpent god, and the reptile theme would fit. originally contained 682.- Based on some old discussions, that was originally going to be outright implied. But they're not too fond of cross-referencing.
- Another possibility is it contained a left-over "Destroyer" from SCP-1050.
582 is Slender Man's hobo brother.
He does pretty much what Slender Man does (such as existing because "fiction" about him exists), but doesn't seem to be as "well-dressed." is Slender Man's hobo brother.Dr. King has witnessed the effects of an apple from 891.
After that sort of experience, I'd be terrified of apple-seeds (and anything else apple-related) too..SCP-682 can only be destroyed by something we would regard as utterly harmless
Because they'd never think of that at the SCP Foundation.- Maybe if it touches the highly-vulnerable anteater they'll cancel each other out.
- Mistletoe maybe?
Diamanda Hagan went mad from watching SCP-993 as a child
The demented clown make-up, the crazed behavior, the cursing... it all fits.- Can we also say the same for the Insane Clown Posse?
SCP-321 is Bright's sibling, too.
In page comments is Bright's sibling, too., Dr. Bright (the writer) said that in his personal canon, Jack Bright has an older brother, Mikell (aka "05-6" aka "Agent Cowboy"), and a younger brother, TJ (aka SCP-590). In the Foundation Tale titled We're Off To Be The Lizard, Dr. Bright (the character) confirms having a sister named "Claire Pierce." One of Dr. Bright's entries in the Wanderer's Library, The Tale Of The Brothers, details three brothers and two sisters as descendants of the Prophet. The three brothers are clearly Mikell, Jack, and TJ, and the "other [sister] who runs from her blood" must be Claire, as the first sister is said to have been stillborn. In Bright's SCP-001 Proposal, 05-1 refers to Jack's father as "Adam." 321 is female. Her parents are named Adam and Evelyn in 321's report, which Dr. Bright also authored. Both of these Adams were 05's. (Admittedly, the Adam from 321's page worked his way up to 05 status from Junior Researcher, while the Adam from the 001 proposal was a founding member, and thus was an original 05. Also, 321-Adam's last name has only five letters, and could not be "Bright" as 001-Adam's was.)- In the Active Duty logs, this is proven to be true.
In Procedure 110-Montauk, they force SCP-231-7 to watch cheesy movies. The worst they can find...
...But unlike Mike and Joel, she doesn't have any robot friends to help keep her sanity.- And the reason why they don't intend on helping her is because she always has some very funny lines to say while watching them. And then they get progressively more surreal as her mind starts slipping at their suckiness.
- Or they force her to watch really bad reality TV shows.
- Why would they need sex offenders for that?
- Well, she can't just watch them alone!
The entity within SPC-911 is the mind of the Broken God.
It wants to merge with at least two other SCPs, which is also what its Church seeks. is the mind of the Broken God.SCP-682 is Gustave.
.The entity in SCP-1315 Level 18 is functionally identical to 173
"This challenge is easier for two players than for a single player", because one can blink while the other looks. Level 18 is functionally identical to 173If/When the site ever makes it that far, SCP-4869 will be a supernaturally clever ace detective.
It wouldn't be the first time the foundation had used thematically appropriate numbers.SCP 073-2 is Enkidu
First of, it's Able, not Abel.SCP 073-2 is a humanoid-but not actual human from the Middle East from the dawn of human civilisation, whose native language seems a very ancient Sumerian. It is superhuman, i.e. about equal to Gilgamesh. His favorite work is the Epic of Gilgamesh. And he is very good in animal husbandry.
SCP-053 and SCP-682 are from the same reality/dimension
In fact, they're the same species. And SCP-682's in love.- It has been confirmed that 053 is, in all respects, biologically human. Whatever's wrong with her, it has nothing to do with where she came from.
SCP-674 does work, just in an alternate universe.
The SCP also causes the user to see the TV broadcasts from the universe he's slowly depopulating of major political figures. does work, just in an alternate universe.SCP-557 was the first incarnation of the SCP Foundation.
It was "an ancient prison and containment site" for heretics, sorcerers and the abnormal. Sound familiar? And then there's what could very well have been SCP-682 formerly locked up in the deepest, most secure part.For those who don't know, Ammit was a demon who had the head of a crocodile, body of a lion, and hindquarters of a hippopotamus. In Egyptian mythology, every person would undergo a trial before he or she could pass onto the afterlife, often by weighing their hearts on the Scales of Ma'et, the personification of order. If the heart was heavy with sin, then the person would be devoured by Ammit and refused entry. So how does this apply to 682?Ammit has the face to qualify as a "vaguely reptile-like creature," and the lion part of her would provide the mane that is present on the photo (and most artistic renditions) of 682. Moreover, she pretty much kills everyone who's deemed unworthy. SCP-682 is so violent because it in turn deems everyone in the world as "disgusting" and horrifyingly wrong. Therefore, it can be concluded that 682 is Ammit forcefully brought to our world. By seeing and judging us all by the scales of Ma'et, it deems us all as unworthy and attempts to kill us as a result. was the first incarnation of the SCP Foundation.- Ammit was a female demon, too, so that would tie in to an above guess regarding 053's gender-telling ability.
- Based on 682's attitude, we can also safely conclude that no Egyptian actually passed the trial.
- It's also possible that because no one living has gone through the preparations for the Egyptian afterlife, Ammit/682 immediately judges them all as unworthy. Kind of like a video game glitch: none of us are meant to be before Ammit at this point, so she freaks out and tries to kill us all.
682 comes from a place where there is no concept of death.
This is also why it hates all Earthly life with a passion. We, as creatures that can and will inevitably die while being forced to rely on random mutation and reproduction for changes, are basically half baked abominations that should not exist from its perspective. The fact that there are creatures who can't automatically adapt to everything on the spot and don't live for eternity is a Go Mad from the Revelation moment for it.The key to killing 682 lies in exploiting its ability to live.
682 seems to institutionally react to other SCPs, adapting to them almost without conscious decision. So if you introduce an SCP intended to prolong life, it will adapt to counteract this. What would be a counteraction to extending life? Dying. Or, alternatively, Revive Kills Zombie.- Counter-WMG. It doesn't occur often, but 682's reaction with 999 isn't gain "immunity to tickle", it's Power Copying (allow it to send energy wave that make people collapse into crippling fits of laughter). So the most likely case of expose it to life extending is...even greater degree of Nigh-Invulnerability.
The girl mentioned in black white black white black white black white black white gray is SCP-231-7.
231-7 is nothing if not someone "whose life was tattered by trauma she never deserved." She received one mere act of human kindness, and because it interrupted the effects of Procedure 110-Montauk, the Foundation killed the man responsible. They then performed the procedure and wiped her memory again as if nothing had happened. is SCP-231-7.- This was mentioned by the writer of that tale in the comment section of Decency.
On the Seventh day, God was satisfied with his creation. The world had been created, man was told to never eat from the tree of knowledge, the angels rejoiced, and the Lord rested. His world was perfect, with a very clear set of rules, he didn't fill the world with monsters and horrors like others had, He wanted His world to be happy. However, in His rest, something found a way in. A creature from another realm, something He couldn't see, something he couldn't understand, for He didn't create it. It tricked man to eat from the tree, it gave them knowledge on the underlining principles of His world, gave them the ability to learn, explore, and question the world around them. He was angry. Not knowing of the creature, in His anger He threw man out of the garden, not knowing evil and unable to comprehend something not made by Him. The Angels, however, did know what happened. There explaining and defending of man's actions went on deaf ears of a being that was all powerful and all knowing, but only of what was His. The Angels cast him out of the garden, blocked the staircase to the pearly gates that lie in there. One of there number always stands on guard at the gate, preventing the entry of the ever curious man, the evil that keeps seeping in through the cracks of reality, and the Old Man who's blindness caused it all.
All or at least the majority of SCPs are the result of objects from other universes
It is canon (what ever loose canon we can claim for this universe) that several of the SCPs are not from our universe, 682 being a prime example, and others are portals to other places. The simple logical step, these items are not from our universe. They don't follow the laws of physics, because they are from a universe with a very different laws of physics, places without Newtons three laws would seem to be the most logical first start. The barriers between universe is just filled with holes that objects slip out of one and into another, areas that exist in multiple universes at once, and hidden ways to get between universes. It would also explain why objects from the future and the past, they come from universe with a slightly slower or faster "times" (or earth with a slightly different gravity).SCP-682 knows what Procedure 110-Montauk is.
Which is why he thinks we're "disgusting".Marshall, Carter, and Dark is not located in London itself, but the City of London.
Ok, this one can take some real world explaining. In the real life London, there is actually a tiny city within the capital of the UK called the "City of London." Once a Roman trading post protected by sturdy walls and became rich and very powerful even after the Roman empire collapsed. Come in William the Conqueror, who found that besieging a city with a big stone wall (most castles were still wood at the time) on a river with a ton of trading connections was to much trouble and reached an agreement that he would leave the city alone and let them have all the rights they gotten used to if they agree to call him their king. Fast forward to today, the city of London stands, still within the mile long chunk that the Romans made right in the middle of the nation. Its unique status which has held to this day, they can ignore many laws and regulations that apply to the rest of the country, and is often called the financial center of the world, with how many banks and large corporations are located there. It seems just the logical place for the ultra rich to have a base where they experience many forbidden and unique pleasures.Able was Genghis Khan.
Both are known to be highly skilled in combat and military tactics, with major bloodlust issues.
Able's tomb was unearthed in Mongolia; Genghis Khan was buried in Mongolia, but nobody knows where. It fits that, since this is Able we're talking about, the medieval Mongols might not have wanted him to resurrect again.
- Can't. Able is almost completely asexual, or at least, has no interest in sex. Ghengis Khan personally fathered so many kids he is a direct ancestor to .5A% of all humanity.
- He could still be The Man Behind the Man behind Genghis Khan.
- Alternately he may have taken a vow of celibacy afterwards.
- Can't. Able is almost completely asexual, or at least, has no interest in sex. Ghengis Khan personally fathered so many kids he is a direct ancestor to .5A% of all humanity.
The 'trickster forest god' that saved humanity from SCP-1000 was Dr. Clef
Really, wouldn't it fit his personality? was Dr. Clef The monster inside of SCP-432 is a Wendigo
One of the items retrieved from the explorations of SCP-432 was an empty food tin, with traces suggesting that human tissue and blood had been mixed with the food. Wendigo are malevolent spirits that transform those who commit cannibalism into monsters. At some point, somebody wandered into the cabinet and ate human flesh mixed with the tinned beans. They transformed into a monster and now wander the labyrinth and hunt anyone else who comes in..Gods in some mythologies may have different aspects/avatars relating to their different "sides". 914 is the aspect of the Broken God as a (relatively) benevolent entity, while 882 is the aspect of its voraciousness and malevolence.- Alternatively, if 882 is the "heart" of the Broken God, 914 is the "brain".
The Foundation does not want to kill SCP-682 at all
Think about it, they test a lot of SCPs on it, many of which end up destroying a large percentage of its biomass before it adapts a proper response to it, some of it even coming pretty damn close to killing it, so why not catalog a bunch of things that may kill 682 and use them all at once? They're not trying to kill it, they're toughening it up in preparation to sic it on some greater threat in a Godzilla Threshold situation—say, whatever's in SCP-231-7's womb.- Probably not. If that was true they'd at least give it something to make it like them. Like 053 to play with.
- Maybe the foundation ITSELF is what 682 needs to fight. Like the Board of Shadowy Figures is gonna try to blow up all of reality, and the majority (Or all) of he researchers need 682 to stop it.
A number of files are deliberate fakes
Some files are deliberately fabricated in order to promote some agenda. The most likely culprits are:- SCP-711: A morale booster, no-brainer.
- SCP-231: Also morale, but in a more backhanded way; it allows Foundation personnel to tell themselves that, whatever horrible thing they happen to be doing to a sentient creature this week, it could be much, much worse.
There are multiple Churches Of The Broken God
At the very least, there should be an "Orthodox" branch which believes that there is a literal god that was broken and specific pieces have to be reassembled to get it back. They're most likely the ones who want the SCPs with gears and the ones that produce 'living' metal. Then there is a "Reformed" branch which treats the story of the Broken God as a parable and is just trying to create a post-Singularity being. They're primarily after the software-based SCPs.Just another one of his "toys" that got loose.SCP-579 is actually a self-aware Strangelet... sort of.
One of the most daring, mysterious and unknown SCPs is actually a Strangelet is actually a self-aware Strangelet... sort of.. If it were let loose, it converts everything around it into exotic matter, resulting in the frequent loss of sites.. and the only thing that holds it in place is an electromagnetic force, something that can affect the Strangelet.. sort of.The point of origin was a particle accelerator which accidentally created it and released it. The Foundation has tried repeatedly to get the Strangelet back into the accelerator so they could destroy it in the same way it was created, but this led to the site being converted.. so there was no way to get rid of this thing.
SCP-1171 is related to/the same species as 682.
They're both eldritch abominations that hate humans. is related to/the same species as 682.- Definitely not the same, 1171 has tentacles. And while he hate humans, fact that he lost a promotion to "a goddamn primate" mean he actually has a human as co-worker. So while he hate us, it's unlikely that he actually does anything dangerous more than insulting people.
- He also claims that "SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE HUMAN", which regardless of whether it's true or not would seem to imply he's his universe's equivalent of a guy who makes racist comments, as opposed to an Omnicidal Maniac like 682.
- What if, since 682 is just so tough, what 682 does to people is just their idea of, say, a teasing punch on the shoulder?
- OP here; well then, let's just hope he never meets 682. If that happens then we'll all be in trouble.
- He also claims that "SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE HUMAN", which regardless of whether it's true or not would seem to imply he's his universe's equivalent of a guy who makes racist comments, as opposed to an Omnicidal Maniac like 682.
The reason why the inhabitants of SCP-1235 have such advanced technology is because of the creators of SCP-186 teamed up
have such advanced technology is because of the creators of SCP-186 teamed up- SCP-1235 initially depicted the world as it was in the early 20th century, right around the time Matyas Nemes and Jean Durand were active. In the universe of SCP-1235, the sudden mass disturbances forced the two to make an Enemy Mine, and used whatever mad science they had to build the spaceships and weaponised viruses that the Austrians used to attack the Foundation scientists.
The birds on SCP-930 are the people who visited the island before.
It's made abundantly clear at the end that the birds aren't trying to hurt anyone, they're trying to save people by scaring them away. There's something far worse on that island and anyone who goes there disappears forever. It's possible that whatever is on that island is not only killing people (which is confirmed from the last photograph), but somehow, it is transfiguring them into birds. Possibly by taking their souls and implanting them into a bird's body. The birds are trying to warn people that if they don't leave, they'll suffer the same fate,but unfortunately people are too busy being terrified of them to listen. are the people who visited the island before. Cassy is a benevolent Charm Person.
Why else is the Foundation so keen on being nice to her (besides the fact that they created her to begin with)? The Foundation is run by corrupt power-grubbers.
Entries like SCP-006 show that the Foundation might not exactly be working as it claims. Specifically, the Fountain of Youth would be tremendously useful within the Foundation in prolonging the lives of personnel working with some fatal and/or Keter SCPs. Instead, the O5 are taking it all for themselves. And consider the hidden note at the end of the O5 note in SCP-231. The real reason why they don't want to save her may be that without the threat it poses to the world, the higher-ups would lose some of their power. And damned be it if they have to endanger the world to hold on to that power.Going even deeper, a corrupt Ethics Committee would be even worse than a corrupt O5, since not only are they The Man Behind the Man, it would make them doubly Straw Hypocrites — not just to the world at large, but to the Foundation itself. Now consider the fact that they designed 110-Montauk, and follow up with the Foundation not wanting to save her, despite absolutely needing to not a bit too late.
What's worse, the Foundation is by all indication outside of any government regulation and above international law, meaning nothing can stop them if they want to hold the world hostage with a Keter.
- Supported as well by those entries that have the Foundation suppressing advancement or discoveries in normal science, e.g. fusion reactors, several contained extraterrestrials, which rely on an incredibly tenuous mutilation of the definition of "threats to normalcy". The only obvious reason for holding back these things is because they want to control them.
SCP-049 is misanthropic. The plague he refers to is humanity in general.
Despite his polite manner of speech, SCP-049 is attempting to wipe out the Great Pestilence that is mankind. He thinks that the creatures he creates are what should be running around the planet. SCP-053, SCP-579 and SCP-682 are the children of SCP-231-1 through SCP-231-6
Worse. SCP-231-1 through SCP-231-6 were injected with SCP-447 and that all of their children are technically dead yet aren't recognized as such by SCP-447 because they are still attached to the womb and once the children are born SCP-447 immediately classes them as corpses and converts them into abominations. Since the children each had time to grow while in the womb between births the SCP-447 created abominations ended up each getting stronger. If an adult human's corpse were to get in contact with SCP-447 it would not only be The End of the World as We Know It yet also The End of the Universe as We Know It.- The hints suggest Procedure 110-Montauk is playing into the Scarlet King's hands so it may be that he's using Procedure 110-Montauk to delay the child of SCP-231-7's birth long enough so that it grow big enough so that once it's born SCP-447 would turn it into a very powerful monstrosity.
- Judging from the description of it's origin SCP-058 also originates from that batch of horrifying children of SCP-231-1 through SCP-231-6(four down two more children to go...).
- Of course it's possible that SCP-579 is the unborn child of SCP-231-7 after being born...
SCP-173 is also the child of the Scarlet King and one of his brides.
According to this tale, SCP-999 is the child of SCP-231-7, and SCP-682 is the child of SCP-231-4. 682 had a unique reaction to 999, finding it annoying but not being aggressive towards it. 682 also had unique reactions to 053 and 173. Perhaps it's because they are siblings, and thus the only beings that 682 considers its equals. 682 is weaker than both, so it appeals to 053's good nature, and since 173 has no good nature, 682 is instead terrified of it and repels it as much as possible. In relation to the above: The Scarlet King is Dr. Clef
He claims to be the Devil and SCP-343 claims that SCP-682 isn't his so this all implies that Clef is the Scarlet King and is using Procedure 110-Montauk to delay the child of SCP-231-7's birth long enough so that it grow big enough so that once it's born SCP-447 would turn it into a very powerful monstrosity. The "children" of the Seven Brides (SCP-231) are the Seven Deadly Sins.
Specifically, their patron demons. Belphegor, demon of Sloth, was probably one of the earliest "children", and didn't cause that much damage because he was too lazy to. Leviathan, demon of Envy, was one of the latest ones and caused untold loss of life by his sheer immensity. The offspring of SCP-231-7 would be the demon of Pride, aka Lucifer himself... 231-7 is the offspring of 231-6 and so on back to 1.
Like some kind of horrible set of Russian dolls. Lily's Proposal is a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
The events of Lily's Proposal aren't a "pre-occurence response" to the end of all life. It's just a run-of-the-mill anomalous event caused by some higher being that just wants world peace. However, due to the existence of Lily's Proposal, the Foundation will not view it as such. In their efforts to prevent the end of all life (as seen in Jack Ike's Proposal), they will cause the end of all life, therefore making Lily's Proposal come true. At some point, somebody prevented SCP-682 from being conceived.
SCP-343, a being who's suspected to be God, doesn't recognize 682 as one of his creations. Keep in mind that God is supposed to have created everything. If 343 is God, then either He didn't create absolutely everything, or doesn't register SCP-682 because SCP-682 was never created. At some point, people tried to prevent 682 from ever existing by killing whoever or whatever spawned it. Being utterly impossible to kill, SCP-682 survived. The "Knockout game" (and other kinds of teenage "fad violence") is a Foundation plot to get more teenage D-class
No one is aware of these attacks until the mass media starts reporting them; teens learn about the new "fad" and try it themselves, which gets reported to the mass media, which inspires other teens... eventually they get arrested and while the public is told that only the actual attacker is sentenced the whole gang is rounded up." (and other kinds of teenage "fad violence") is a Foundation plot to get more teenage D-class- If O5 or the Ethics Committee have a problem the excuses can go both ways: "the 'fad' was anomalous but it too brief to be contained" or "it really is just a 'fad', remember when we thought runaway slaves and fangirls were anomalous?"
SCP-682 is a relic from previous universe
- SCP-343 (God) says he didn't create him and apparently knows little about him. Because 682 is older than 343.
- He's tough enough to survive both Big Crunch and subsequent Big Bang.
- He ignores laws of nature because for him, they are not natural, as he wasn't born in them.
- He loathes our universe because it replaced his home, and is utterly wrong to him, nothing like he is used to.
- He doesn't show any desire to get back home because there's no home anymore.
SCP-348 contains the soul of Dad Egbert/Crocker.
contains the soul of Dad Egbert/Crocker. - It leaves heartwarming notes to people, including one saying "I'm proud of you." Its true nature cannot be any more obvious.
- The one flaw in this theory is that it is a soup bowl and not a cake pan.
SCP-682 originally lived amongst the dinosaurs... until humans wiped them out
Okay, this one may sound a bit nonsensical at first, but what I'm getting at here is that the first time 682 entered our dimension, it was a friendly creature. It arrived here back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and it got along with them perfectly, occasionally trying to teach the weaker ones how to adapt to the harsh conditions of the world and fight off enemies; something we all know 682 is pretty good at.But then comes the day when the dinosaurs are wiped out, not just by a random asteroid from space, but by a hostile object sent back in time by humanity during what was going to be our destruction. There's plenty of Time Travel SCPs I'm sure the Foundation itself could've utilized in order to achieve this.
The sole survivor of the disaster, for obvious reasons, was 682 and it knows that the object that wiped out the creatures he lived with was an object created and sent back in time by man. This is why it hates humanity and vows to destroy them just like they destroyed his kin.
So, what was the object that was sent back in time then? Well, I'd like to believe that The Foundation somehow discovered a way to shrink and eventually get rid of the dreaded SCP-1548, otherwise known The Hateful Star, and that that's the thing that got sent back in time and killed the dinosaurs. It would also, in a way, make 1548 and 682 mortal enemies, unbeknownst to them both.
- Or they DO know. Considering one of the only interactions they have is a rap song, it's more than likely friendly.
The Foundation is actually a massive drug cartel.
- They have basically unlimited funds, a small private army, and a huge amount of influence with the governments of third world countries. All of their money has to come from somewhere. Obviously, they're using SCP objects to manufacture drugs cheaply, which they then sell at competitive prices throughout the world. Because their drugs are cheaper, they've managed to take over the entire illegal drug market completely by accident. Now, they basically have to make and sell drugs to stay afloat, and all of their research on new SCPs is towards seeing if they can make more drugs.
- The foundation is more powerful than most/all mundane governments, if they were selling drugs, there's no reason they couldn't get them legalized first. But I'm sure they do run multiple phramacutical companies, if nothing else they need manufacturing facilities for the amnestics.
More than one of the SCP-001's is true, and they all tie into each other.
- The Spiral Path was the entry point of the Multiversal Corruption mentioned in The Legacy into the SCP universe.
- The Factory and the organization mentioned in The Spiral Path - which evolved into the SCP Foundation - are one and the same. All the details which do not match are actually lies.
- The Gate Guardian has no special significance above and beyond any other SCP; it's just an extremely powerful Eldritch Abomination guarding something for no apparent reason. Pretty SOP for the Foundation, really. Its file is simply sprinkled with false information to make it look more significant than it is, and left as the first decoy for anyone digging into SCP-001.
- The Sheaf of Papers was designed as a warning device for Multiversal Corruption events, but its use also accelerates the Corruption, which is why it always carries a new prediction.
- The Thirty-Six are refugees from another universe trying their best to counteract the Multiversal Corruption in a different way, perhaps using magic instead of science. If they come together, they may be able to insulate this universe from Multiversal Corruption, but will also prevent it from sending stuff out to other universes, thus potentially making it the last surviving universe once the Corruption overtakes the rest of the multiverse. The O5 council is preventing this because they want to stop the Corruption for good using the information in The Legacy, or help the next universe to do so (remember, The Administrator is the "passenger" of The Legacy).
- The Lock actually is a failed attempt to seal us away from the Multiversal Corruption by sealing our universe onto its own plane. It has only slowed it down, but it also prevents the "launch" of The Legacy, which is why O5 is so keen to open it - even though its opening would probably mean the end of our universe by exposing us to the full power of the Multiversal Corruption.
The song "Charlie on the MTA" was written by Foundation agents
At one point in the late 40s or early 50s, the Foundation failed to properly recover SCP-342" was written by Foundation agents after an experiment in Boston, and it fell into the hands of a civilian. His friends and family, as well as the people who had been on the train with him, were given amnestics; however, the story leaked out before the agents could wipe everyone's memories, so the song was released to cover up the incident. "Did you hear about that guy who couldn't get off the MTA?" "Oh yeah, that's just a political campaign song. Supposedly he couldn't get off because he didn't have the exit fee. They don't actually stop you from leaving, that would be ridiculous." The beings seen through SCP-178 are not malevolent.
They just don't realise humans aren't as durable as they are; slashing each other is how they say hello, and they don't touch those not wearing the glasses because they wouldn't be so rude as to speak to someone who hasn't introduced themself. are not malevolent. Alternately, they're not the ones doing the slashing.
Several of them don't appear to have claws in the configuration needed to leave the wounds the victims suffer. Therefore, something else which is invisible even with the glasses is trying to stop humans interacting with them; either with bad intent, or to protect them from whatever worse thing the visible entities might do. SCP-056 is a parasitic Emotion Eater.
He feeds on people's self-esteem. is a parasitic Emotion Eater. 231-7 is dead.
The fetus is and always has been a Puppeteer Parasite. It has killed and completely hollowed out 231-7 herself and is using her body as a vessel. The screaming people hear when the project is administered is the fetus attempting a Wounded Gazelle Gambit. The Overseers don't buy it for a second, but the personnel working on it do... SCP-811 and SCP-106 were created from the same ooze
Considering their similar properties (corrosive, predatory, etc), it would make sense.- In this tale, an British army corporal falls into a pit of black slime and was slowly transformed into SCP-106. Years later, a scientist discovered the slime, collected some of it, made some alterations to it and injected it into a little girl who then transformed into SCP-811.
Bright can be freed from 963 by dying of natural causes
He's only been trapped on the mortal plane all these years because he never seems to stay in one body for long, and presumably chooses healthy, youthful ones because they're more comfortable to be in. Everything anomalous is Dr. Clef's fault.
Somehow. Even where it would contradict itself, or even be outright impossible or wrong. SCP-811 is just The Pig-Pen
She doesn't really have green skin, acidic mucus on her palms or even an incomplete digestive system. She's just really really dirty from living in a swamp her whole life. SCP-811 thinks she's ugly and/or wants to be pretty
Several of her requests were related to maintaining her appearance, i.e. a hair brush and a D-Class washing her hair every so often. This may be because she's self conscious about her appearance, thinking she is ugly beyond help and that only her hair can be salvaged. 231-7 is one of the chains holding SCP-2317 in place.
231-7 was never human and expunged Procedure 110-Montauk is merely all the failed attempts to keep the chain from breaking. The SCP-██ that keeps being mentioned is SCP-2317.- Or conversely Procedure 110-Montauk is a terrible terrible procedure performed on pregnant D-Class as a blind just as the sacrificing of the chicken that is Procedure 220-Calabasas(Procedure 110-Montauk's exact opposite) is. The reason the D-Class preforming this are given amnesiacs is because the procedure oftentimes kills the girl and they don't want the D-Class leaking the information and revealing that the procedure is being performed on a non-threat. Unfortunately that particular bit of information got out hence the hidden line stating that "Don't believe it when they say they're trying to save her. Why would they bother? They've got exactly what they want exactly where they want it." Whoever stated this information thinks the Foundation is being sadistic when in fact they are desperate to prevent a panic resulting from the impending apocalypse and will sully their own reputations through Moral Event Horizons to do so.
- Even worse the Ethics Committee wants SCP-682 dead because it's involved in Procedure 110-Montauk(Montauk is clearly a reference to SCP-682's photo) and torturing the D-Class they have posing as 231-7 in horrible, nasty, disgusting and unimmaginable ways with it's jaws and claws(there's a reason it's stated he messily devours people). They want to prevent a panic over SCP-2317 yet are so horrified by SCP-682's methods that they want him dead. There are other just as powerful and nasty SCPs and they aren't scheduled to be killed as soon as possible.
Either 682 or Walter will be involved in 2317's re-capture or destruction.
The chains binding it are allegedly made from a "Devourer entity", after all...... is a picture of the human child it came from; its desire is to be alive. will be involved in 2317's re-capture or destruction. SCP-087 is benevolent.
...if not exactly nice. All of the symptoms of SCP-087 that the Foundation has discovered - the inhuman face, the darkness, the feeling of dread, the sheer length of the staircase - are a 'warning buoy' set up to discourage people from reaching the real origin of the screaming child's voice at the bottom. If making the climb frightening and inconvenient isn't enough to drive an intruder away, SCP-087 will perform a Mercy Kill, because a few human deaths here and there are a small price to pay compared to what will happen if a sentient being makes contact with what's really down there. is benevolent. 682 is a Well-Intentioned Extremist who is only trying to keep what he sees as "diseased vermin" from spreading.
Take the following into consideration. In Real Life, when a population is diseased (Whether due to parasites, viruses, or whatnot), the population is often culled as a form of Mercy Kill to prevent the disease from spreading to other populations. Likewise, if an animal is born with a genetic defect, it is also killed since it likely won't survive very long anyway (and sometimes to prevent certain genetic diseases to be passed down through the population). Now, take into consideration how 682 sees us. What if he's trying to kill everyone as a means to keep what he views as a "diseased" life form from spreading to other worlds? This would also explain his supposed hatred towards all life. He can't afford to get emotionally attached to something he feels is "disgusting" and that he must terminate. 682 is only pretending to hate us in order to make his job of wiping out humanity (and other earthly life forms) much easier to do.- Going on that, SCP-049 may see humanity in a similar way. It's just less powerful and has a different solution to 682.
SCP-239 really is a witch
Or at least, her powers really are magic. No science (besides the eye beams) involved, it's all magic. SCP-999 is actually the Nicktoons Blob from the 90s.
Read the description of it here, then watch this video here.
To be specific:
- The [DATA EXPUNGED] that 231-7 is carrying is SCP-2317. Sort of. More specifically, the [DATA EXPUNGED] is one half of the final chain. 231-7 herself is the other half. If she were to give birth, the chain would break, releasing 2317 into the main timeline.
- An aspect of Procedure 110-Montuak (arguably the least unpleasant one) involves running the gofetch.exe program on SCP-1739.
- The animation is a symbolic representation of what happens in one of the branch timelines while the prime 231-7 is undergoing Procedure 110-Montauk.
- When the woman in the animation unchains the dog, an alternate timeline's 231-7 gives birth to the [DATA EXPUNGED].
- When the woman throws the ball and the dog runs after it, 2317 enters the timeline where 231-7 gave birth.
- When the dog returns with the remains of the ball and the woman rechains it, 2317 returns to its home dimension, and the chain keeping it out of the main timeline is reestablished.
The Smiling Man from SCP-507's travels is not only benign (at least in regards to 507) but totally smitten.
This is most apparent in 507's S43-51U-P09 excursion, what with the fact that the Smiling Man literally gave him a heart with "I NEED YOU" written on it.
SCP-2317's rank is also its name.
First off, we already have SCPs of Biblical figures. Secondly, consider Apollyon(or in the original Hebrew term, Abaddon): it's a demon/angel that has control over and/or emerges a "bottomless pit." What if this pit leads to an alternate dimension, ie the realm SCP-2317 comes from? The SCP Foundation can't restrain it forever because ultimately Revelations and the Battle of Armageddon will happen. Part of why they're afraid of it is because Dr Clef is one of the major members of the Foundation. One of his identities? Satan, who's destined to lose the War of Armageddon and be sealed up into Abaddon/Apollyon's Bottomless Pit. Another identity is that Dr Clef is Adam, which also explains why he doesn't want SCP-2317 to be released-Revelations would signal the Last Judgement, including him. SCP-055 isn't nearly as dangerous as suggested.
However, he wants people to think otherwise, which is why he uses such a Keter-level ability. In truth he's a Harmless Villain who uses his spook abilities to get attention. SCP-076 changed his name.
The reason SCP-076-2's name is spelled "Able" rather than the traditional spelling "Abel" is due to the prefix "-el" which means "of God." Considering Able's current nature, it's not hard to imagine that he lost his good grace with God and decided to switch the two letters to reflect his current state of Godlessness. Dr. Clef and Dr. Bright are the literal human forms of life and death.
Think about it. Dr. Bright is pretty much immortal thanks to 963. Dr. Clef is rather trigger-happy. Dr. Bright is a Cloud Cuckoo Lander, while Clef can be cynical at times. Clef is feared by practically all women. Then there's their origins. It's pretty much no mystery as to how Bright became immortal, and it's known that his siblings are anamolous. Practically nothing is known about Dr. Clef, however. You can't even see his face! The biggest clue is their rivalry. Life and death, of course, are completely opposite. They constantly battle over whether you'll wake up tomorrow or not. So, back to my theory. Clef knows what he is, and keeps that info hidden so he doesn't become classified a full blown SCP, stripped of all his titles and clearances and locked away. Bright MIGHT know, but on the other hand, he may not. If he does, he sure as hell ain't telling anybody. Dr. Clef is Adam, the original one from the Garden.
Which is why he hates women, among other things. 231's foetus is not evil.
The white text references a quote from the Gospel of Luke; "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." That doesn't necessarily mean it isn't dangerous though.- The Competitive Eschatology supports this, even referencing the above quote — the "foetus" turns out to be 231-7 herself, in her true, glorified form as the Horseman of Conquest, and she admits that she does indeed forgive the Foundation because she knows they didn't understand the harm they were causing. It's SCP-343 she's mad at.
SCP-181 is the protagonist from SCP – Containment Breach.
He fits the description perfectly, and one of the endings even brings up the possibility of classifying the D-class as an SCP. This seems to have been done. is the protagonist from SCP – Containment Breach. Dr. Gears and Dr. Iceberg have some sort of connection with The Broken God and Yaldabaoth.
The SCP Foundation is an allegory for the Soviet Union.
There was a purge and a number of articles were rewritten from their original form due to falling out of favor. In addition to this, the fanbase is split between hardliners who want to remain true to the website's creepypasta roots and reformers who think the Foundation shouldn't be limited by genre. Dr Rights did have a kid.
]Since she knew the damage it could do (perhaps there was an SCP base within its range?) and was in close enough proximity to reach it in time, she's the one who fed 089 before the predicted disaster happened. Sebastian Michaelis. is a form of SCP-204-1
SCP-204-1 follows a child with a history of abuse as a protector. At first, they will appear benign, but slowly be revealed to have bad intentions and will attack with no regard to human life, just like Sebastian. With this guess, Ciel was one of the many SCP-204-2s of the past, as it is always a child from four to fourteen years old. The origin of 1048 and 2295.
The two living teddy bears were once human twins. 1048 was a charismatic, Faux Affably Evil surgeon who lured people into his basement, where he mutilated them and stitched their body parts into horrifying (non-living) abominations. 2295, on the other hand, was a Nice Guy. He was a benevolent surgeon who won several awards for saving the lives of a select number of people. He was praised for his work, something 1048 was envious of. After finally snapping, 1048 abducted his brother and killed him, trapping his soul inside of a teddy bear so that he couldn't help anyone ever again. However, 2295 jumped him and quickly returned the favor. The two brothers, now teddy bears, then began fighting each other, eventually deciding to go their separate ways after their fight went on without a winner. Eventually the Foundation found them, albeit separately, and took them in. In addition, their new methods of creation are both very similar: once they've created something, they make it alive/functioning by adding part of their soul to it. Hence why 2295 can create functioning organs, whereas 1048 only creates monstrous abominations thanks to his sick, twisted soul. SCP-1173 was made by the US government
The Islamic Union of Eastern Samothrace really does exist and is under occupation by American forces. Said forces have committed several war crimes against the native population. Instead of simply coming clean about said crimes and punishing the perpetrators, the US government created a Mind Virus to cover up Eastern Samothace's existence and protect America's image. Smiling Man is "the Lord" from the alternate universe SCP-093 leads to.
Looking at Document 507-3B, more specifically the log for the shift to "S43-51U-P09", shows that Smiling Man was leaking a "brown liquid" from in and around its eyes, and that it "bleeds" this same liquid. This tale shows that when attacked the Unclean bleed a form of the Lord's Tears that appears to be the same color and consistency as the liquid leaking from the Smiling Man's eyes and body. The Smiling Man himself is an apparently omniscient extradimensional entity— for all we know, he could have revisited that dimension and served as the catalyst for the events leading to the world behind SCP-093 being what it is now. 035 and 106 can be destroyed by putting the former on the latter.
If their corrosive substances aren't the same substance, they could work on each other. SCP-682 beat the "The Generally Nice, Friendly Thing That Can And Will Kill SCP-682 Permanently if it So Much As Spots That Damn Lizard" by blinding it
The specification is that "Can And Will Kill SCP-682 Permanently if it So Much As Spots That Damn Lizard" means that if it spots SCP 682, it will kill it. So, SCP-682 beat it by preemptively blinding the Thing before it could spot it. Now, the Thing has the capacity to beat-SCP 682, hence why SCP-682 was so beaten up in the aftermath, why there's so much collateral damage and why it doesn't want to go back (in case the writers have an idea on how to close the Literal Genie clause), but in the end, SCP-682 was able to deny the Thing's biggest advantage. Monthly D-class terminations are because they're all used for SCP-120
Even by the standards of the foundation, the construction of the moon base mentioned in SCP-120 must have been a ridiculously costly project. Not as much in terms of money as in terms of human lives. For each load of materials, consisting of no more than a single person could carry, they'd need to sacrifice at least seven, possibly eight lives. Per eight man-hours of labor, another seven or eight deaths (more if the D-class proves uncooperative). The death toll for this project must have reached into the hundreds of thousands, maybe even over a million. Even for the foundation, that'd require all the D-classes they can get their hands on. Hence, the monthly terminations.On the plus side, now that the foundation finally has their moon base, maybe D-class life expectancy will go up. On the other hand, maybe a couple of lagrange point bases couldn't hurt... SCP-055 is extremely anthropophobic.
Its Laser-Guided Amnesia is actually a result of Personality Powers. SCP-055 is a normal person who happens to be utterly terrified of everyone, with its anomalous effect its a means of protection. The Foundation may not officially demote personnel to D-Class, but...
]At least some of the personnel who are terminated are actually moved to another site, amnetistized and made into D-Class. Cause hey, if they're going to die anyway, they might as well serve the Foundation for another month. 2801 and 2295 are related
SCP-2801 was given to a child by their grandfather. SCP-2295 was made by a grandmother who was sending it to her grandson. It's possible that this grandfather and grandmother are married and created these SCPs for their grandchildren somehow. Magic may have been involved. Maybe they're wizards. Seeing 096's face steals part of its soul.
That's why it becomes so distressed when someone sees its face, and how it can unerringly locate anyone who has. That's also why it's indestructible while active - the person who saw its face becomes a sort of unwilling phylactery/horcrux. 096 can only recover the stolen part of its soul by [DATA EXPUNGED] the person who has it. SCP-682's existence is linked to life itself.
SCP-682 will continue to exist as long as their is life in the universe. That's why it died in SCP-2935. This could also explain why 682 wants to eradicate all life-it just wants to end its own life. The Mayerling Incident in the SCP-verse had to do with the gene from SCP-3288 getting out of hand. (SCP-verse conjectures italicized.)
Because the Austrian branch of the Habsburgs did not carry out incestuous marriage as much as the Spanish branch did, the genes mostly stayed recessive in royalty that were able to present as humans. Until Rudolf, whose parents were first cousins. The Duke of Wales remarked of a teenaged Rudolf that "there was nothing I could teach him" regarding bedroom matters, and the Crown Prince grew up to be a known charmer. He kept track of his conquests (and there were a lot of them) in a color-coded journal, possibly to remind himself that he was able to overcome his genetic impulses and did not hurt these women. Eventually, undiagnosed depression got to him, and his condition began to degrade. Frightened of what he was becoming and realizing he was unfit to be emperor, he tried to make a Murder-Suicide pact with any of the women who loved him at the time, and Mary Vetsera took him up on it. Alternatively, someone got wise to his impairment, and murdered him and Vetsera to cover it up. in the SCP-verse had to do with the gene from SCP-3288 getting out of hand. (SCP-verse conjectures italicized.) SCP-1192 really isn't Timmy
It was stated that there was no sign of an anomaly in the "real" Timmy or his family. My theory is that 1192, for some reason, thinks that he's Timmy, when he's actually just a regular cockatoo that happens to also be sapient. Tarrare was an undocumented and/or neutralized SCP.
He had an extreme, disturbing appetite to which there is no definitive explanation. He ate things that should wreck any normal digestive tract and he was not only fine but remains skinny asides from a flap of skin despite how much he ate. There were little to no records of his early life and no-one knows his original name. Yeah, sounds like an SCP to me. SCP-096 is a mutated Tarrare.
IRL the man was such a freak of nature he towed the line to Ambiguously Human. Tarrare had a stretched out mouth, was surprisingly skinny despite his Horror Hunger, and his Extreme Omnivore diet led to people wondering how he could even survive. SCP-096 has a Volumetric Mouth, is Lean and Mean, and it's heavily implied to eat its victims and that's why there's nothing left. What if these features are an exaggeration of Tarrare? Like one SCP-106 origin, 096 was an anomalous human, but somehow mutated into the SCP we know today? Why does 096 hate it when people look at its face? The warning signs were Tarrare trying to eat as much as he could see, and that's devolved into "eat whoever looks at me". 096's peacefulness and lack of much intelligence when not looked at is because Tarrare was never really smart and didn't like his condition. Possibly eating a baby was the first sign of his transformation into SCP-096. His death by tuberculosis was just a cover story once he could no longer pass for human. SCP-001 is the website itself.
It's purpose is to deem everything that has been captured by the SCP foundation as "non-canon" (aka never happened) and deem it as fictional thereby only containing SCPs to the imagination of others... The first website itself is quite literally the first ever SCP. It's even in its name! Roger from SCP-2718 actually Came Back Wrong.
The hellish afterlife wasn't what happens to people after death, it was a consequence of the resurrection-Roger ended up being aware of what happened to his corpse. The resulting panic is either a cognitohazard from it or they were fearful since there's no way to know whether this was a Came Back Wrong situation or the fate of everyone who dies. SCP-2935 on its own is harmless
By itself, SCP-2935 is a cave serving as a portal to another universe that exists in every universe. Then "Death" discovered it... SCP-2852 is an entity summoned by Native American shamans to exact vengeance upon the white, Christian settlers.
Note that it only ever appears in North America, and only at gatherings of those of Roman Catholic or Anglican faith, resulting in all sorts of disasters befalling those who attended the gatherings, but the ones most affected are children (dying six months after baptism that SCP-2852 attended, stillborn, becoming increasingly violent and showing anti-capitalist sentiments as they grow older etc.). It might be some kind of spirit of vengeance summoned by shamans to torment the descendants of the settlers that drove the natives to near extinction.We have two blokes in spacesuits with parasitic eldritch abominations embedded in their chest cavities. Possibly we've got something going around snatching and impregnating astronauts. Difference is, Simon got back to earth and was rescued by a bunch of cyborg catgirls while SCP-1959 is still stuck in orbit. The Eye-Pods are the advance scouts of an alien invasion, having been sent to infiltrate the Foundation to scope out a future enemy.
They use some form of technology as of yet unknown to the Foundation to broadcast extremely bombastic reports of their findings on a daily basis, typically involving multiple uses of "puny humans" per report. While they remain so far unaware of this, they've been abandoned on earth as their much less propagandized commanders read their reports and decided to pick another planet to invade. are the advance scouts of an alien invasion, having been sent to infiltrate the Foundation to scope out a future enemy. SCP-1377 instances are a lot more common that the Foundation thinks.
Whatever is creating them just has lousy quality control so a few of them lack the required anatomy and credentials to successfully pass for human politicians.It also knows that if it acted to the limits of its abilities, it would soon have nobody left to frighten. It knows how much the 05's fear its true capabilities and that, not the b-movie cosplay is what it genuinely wants. instances are a lot more common that the Foundation thinks. Procedure 110 Montauk is created by us.
It's stated to be "ten times worse than what you think it is". So it's less an actual procedure, and more giving us Noodle Implements that make us imagine horrible scenarios to torture 231. These scenarios are then inflicted on her, with new tidbits occasionally dispersed to make the scenarios worse. Little Bastard, James Dean's Porsche Spyder, is an SCP.
A few people may remember Little Bastard, the Porsche Spyder owned by and involved in the death of James Dean. However, there is an urban legend that exists about the Porsche that explains quite a few weird events involving the wrecked car after the death of James Dean, including parts that were still in good condition being sold to owners of other Porsche Spyders that having unfortunate accidents themselves due to a curse, in addition to accidents that continued surrounding the wreck itself. The urban legend ended with the car disappearing off of a train that it was being shipped on. It's possible the car was an SCP and the Foundation retrieved it before it could cause more problems. H. P. Lovecraft was a member of the SCP Foundation, and a bulk of his stories were inspired by actual SCPs he encountered or heard about.
The identity of SCP-055
It is the Anthropomorphic Personification of forgetfulness. It uses an electromagnetic field to absorb electrical signals in the brain, basically eating memories. It has no true personality or identity of its own, so it takes on the personality of one of its victims. It can also take on the appearance of someone whose memories it absorbed, but this is only an illusion, and its actual physical body is small enough to fit inside a briefcase. It can't actually control itself, but through its existence alone, it is capable of bringing about an end-of-the-world scenario. There never was an SCP-4955 / KNIFE in containment.
Junior Researcher Harris just went nuts and imagined there was. He hallucinated cutting Smalls, killing the rats, and confronting his boss. The folks in the cafeteria laughed at him scrubbing rigorously at a bare patch of floor, and people reacted blankly to his talk of a "knife" because they had no clue what he was babbling about. Harris lost it completely in the end, and killed Smalls with an ordinary cafeteria utensil. In SCP-2718, O5-11's excruciating afterlife is only that way because...
He wasn't given a proper burial; after all, he died in the wilderness, and nobody got ahold of his body for 18 years, so he ends up experiencing the pain of being infested by bacteria and larvae, assaulted by birds and the elements, etc. Had he been given a conventional casket burial, sure he would've had to endure his body decaying, but at least he would be someplace safe for his eternal slumber. SCP-2165 is the reason why people missed SCP-033.
SCP-2165, or "Irredeemable", is an entity that is considered so bad that it is Beyond Redemption and everybody refuses to acknowledge it. If it's considered such by universal consensus, it either means whatever it did makes even the worst of the SCP verse hate it (a tall order considering how depraved even SCPs within one universe can get) or that what it did had to have changed the universe in some way for said universe to regard it as irredeemable and unworthy of being recognized. SCP-033 is an integer everybody missed and as a result wreaks havoc on any conventional mathematical formula. SCP-2165 may have been the reason why everybody missed 033; somehow it took it away from the collective consciousness, breaking the prior mathematical model and wreaking havoc on a conceptual level. Its Un-person status is an Ironic Hell considering it made every body forget about something important. SCP-055 was created by the Foundation to contain SCP-579.
In one of the 001 files, 055 and 579 were used to contain each other. SCP-579 is implied to be a cognitohazard given its description is redacted. SCP-055 is capable of making everyone forget about it. 055 was originally designed as a means of containing, maybe even neutralizing whatever SCP-579 is with its anti-memetic properties. However this also means nobody can remember SCP-055 and what was supposed to be a Thaumiel-class SCP becomes Keter-class because no-one knows it is supposed to help. SCP-953 became human at the furry convention, and that's why she hasn't tried to escape since.
According to the original Korean folktale "The Fox Sister", if the kumiho consumed enough human livers, she would eventually become a human herself. It's not quite clear in any accessible translation why she desired this, but various mythological beings have wanted to become humans to gain a soul and thus access to Heaven, a la the original Little Mermaid, so it might have been that. Here, 953's victims at the furry convention put her count over the top, taking away her powers, and she's been so subdued since because, unlike kumiho, humans feel remorse. A human point of view may also have made her realise that someone who ate hundreds of human livers for selfish reasons is probably not heading to Heaven anyway.SCP-001 (When Day Breaks) melts living things together because it erases the anomalous properties of anything its light touches.
This means - human/animal individuality itself is an anomaly, and the Sun is only setting things right again.- Possibly supported by what SCP-5000 reveals about humanity; that many of our emotions and psychology are the result of an entity that latched onto the human subconscious]]. This would arguably make us an anomaly, so the Sun could be trying to save people and other life forms from the entity by unifying them into delirious blob creatures. Only human instances of SCP-001-A are trying to actively assimilate because the Sun is trying to starve this entity, which only targets humans.
SCP-1575 achieves better results when used on animals with more physical similarities to humans.
Similarities include body size, omnivorous diet, skeletal structure, and level of intelligence. Any very large discrepancy between a tested animal and a human will probably result in an unsuccessful transformation. achieves better results when used on animals with more physical similarities to humans.- The mouse that was tested died because her body was growing too fast in size and her cardiovascular system couldn't keep up.
- The deer, tiger, and zebra could not or would not have been able to fully transform because the shift in their bodies from quadrupedal to bipedal was too much.
- The parrot wasn't even a mammal, so it had a bad time transforming and 60% of its skeleton broke.
- The only mammal that completely transformed was a bear. Like humans, bears are omnivorous, sometimes bipedal, can be surprisingly intelligent, and prefer to live in shelter-like environments (caves or dens).
- If they tested it on a monkey, it would have the easiest, least painful transformation.
SCP-001 (The World's Gone Beautiful) happened in the same universe where SCP-2935 originated.
Lily's Proposal for SCP-001 is an event recorded from several other universes; the idea that 24 hours before all life on the planet dies, the world will become lush and beautiful, flowers will bloom across most of the land and people will be peaceful and aware of their fate. SCP-2935 details a universe where all life, even non-organic, suddenly died and is capable of spreading. We don't know where the apocalypse of 2935 started. Maybe whatever or whoever caused the first instance of SCP-2935 has an alert system, and this is Lily's Proposal for SCP-001. Since this was recorded from several other universes, this does mean multiple universes are Patient Zero for SCP-2935. The massive security that comes from the SCP-001 articles is to ensure a break out of SCP-2935 doesn't happen. SCP-049 is afflicted with a disease.
Specifically it's some sort of anomalous parasite which compels whoever it infects to spread to new hosts by mentally affecting them like some cordyceps. The Plague Doctor is a doctor, so it manipulates its brain by thinking most people have a "Pestilence". Depending on how you think 049 came to be it was either a parasite not suited for humans and when one strain managed to survive in a human host it mutated them into SCP-049, or SCP-049 was already anomalous and it merely added to his unique traits. His Touch of Death is a mutated form of the parasite and a key element in the creation of SCP-049-2. Fortunately because of his unique anatomy he can't become a Typhoid Mary...though in this 'verse you never know. SCP-914 is the actual heart of the Broken God, not SCP-882.
Going by the idea that the Broken God proposal for SCP-001 is at least true in broad strokes. tl;dr SCP-001 is a Mechanical Abomination created when the Church of the Broken God tried to revive Mekhane using SCP-882, assuming it was its heart, only for it to have actually been created by the Factory. Maybe the actual heart of the Broken God is a more refined and benign mesh of clockworks. Though it hasn't been connected to the Broken God mythos, this could simply mean the SCP Foundation hasn't put two and two together...or they have and want to make sure the Church of the Broken God isn't motivated to try and steal 914. Are We Cool Yet members created SCP-173 and SCP-650.
173 is a Living Statue based off Untitled 2004, one of many real life art pieces by Izmui Kato. 650 is a glossy obsidian mannequin that was first found in a modern art museum. And Are We Cool Yet is a GOI of eccentric at best artists who make Anomalous Art; if they were made by any GOI, AWCY would be the likeliest bet. Both of their creators wanted people to keep an eye on them to show off their creation, but while 650's creator was content with trolling people not looking by the SCP by spooking them, 173's creator is a sociopath who had the sculpture want to snap necks if people stop paying attention. Looking at SCP-096's face steals its soul.
096 Was Once a Man, until something horrible warped it body and soul. As a result its soul leaves its body and inhabits whoever looked at its face, which doesn't affect 096-1 but understandably distresses the Shy Guy enough that it needs to reclaim its soul the only way it can; by killing whoever has it. This is how an apparently blind being instinctively knows who looked at it and where as by stealing its soul, you're effectively part of 096's being. The reason for its apparent lack of sentience is because when more than one person sees its face its soul gets spread across multiple sources and this has happened long enough to burn out its higher brain functions. As for how the Shy Guy became like this? Who knows. Maybe it made a Deal with the Devil for immortality, which is why it's an Invincible Boogeymen, and its loose soul was the thing that ruined it. SCP-682 has a similar memetic property to SCP-053
Think about it. Sure, 682 killed farmers when it first appeared, but to it, humans are 'disgusting'. For all we know, it just appeared or otherwise arrived somewhere filled with horrifying creatures and reacted as many humans would. Ever since its capture, the Foundation has basically been torturing it non-stop and trying to kill it. Not once did they apparently consider trying to send it home, or even seeing if it could be at least convinced o NOT try and murder everybody while in containment in exchange for more comfort. It's clearly sapient and capable of communication, after all.Perhaps 682 just has a similar version of 053's 'aura', except the urge to kill it is more subtly presented, and instead of passively causing the attackers to die, its methods are more proactive. Maybe that's why it and 053 got along so well.
SCP-447 is a cure for death.
That's it. No catch, no zombie apocalypse, no Came Back Wrong, none of that. While that may sound like a good thing, even one perfect reanimation could have wide-ranging implications within the Foundation (imagine if the D-classes found out). Furthermore, if it happened outside the Foundation, it could easily reveal the existence of the Foundation, or at least the existence of the kind of anomalous crap the Foundation exists to hide, and would cause massive societal waves, potentially beyond the Foundation's ability to contain without using a reality-wide Reset Button. Never mind what humanity might do if it lost its fear of death... The Immortigons of the SCP-6001 universe was still just 682 at first.
We already know that 682, at least in some canons, is eldritch in nature rather than having naturally evolved. We also already know that 682 can be split into multiple copies of itself if damaged in the right way. It stands to reason that 682's counterpart in 6001 merely decided to reproduce when given a place that he could be left to his own devices. Lower your guard on purpose, find something capable of splitting a giant monster in half, rinse and repeat a few more times, and boom, you're a species now.Most universes' versions of 682 probably don't have the same desire to be a progenitor of its species because its anger, hatred, and fear have become so exacerbated by its perpetual torment that it can't even distinguish other Immortigons from any other form of unforgivably-disgusting life anymore, thus its eating its copy when one was unintentionally made. If the 682 we know found itself in the 6001 universe, it would most likely try to wipe out its own species without hesitation, though whether it would succeed at that is another story, considering it'd be up against several copies of the only (known) entity canonically capable of killing it.SCP-993 takes the form of a Monster Clown, he appears to kids via hijacking tv signals, teaches them harmful subjects in the hopes of making them psychopaths, and (if one tale is to be believed) is an Eldritch Abomination that has been around for decades. 5094, on the other hand, takes the form of a friendly Picasso-esque teacher, is only found (so far) in copies of Miss J's Whiz Kidz Schoolhouse, and can make a kid (usually one lonely/downtrodden) into an expert in any field. So maybe 5094 is a God of Good as opposed to 993's God of Evil SCP-2399 was never intended to destroy Earth.
It was intended to destroy Saturn. The message instructing it to proceed to "planet #3" was counting from the outermost Solar planet, not the innermost. That's why it was out in the vicinity of the gas giants, and able to crash on Jupiter, in the first place. The Way to kill SCP-682 Is inside SCP-902.
. SCP-137 is a failed Wondertainment product.
It was something intended to make ordinary toys more fun, but went horribly wrong. So wrong that Wondertainment removed all its labeling from the product. They intended to destroy it so it could not cause any more harm, but somehow it escaped until it was contained by the Foundation. is a failed Wondertainment product.What would happen if SCP-3922 was used on other media (feel free to add more)
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind: Instances of SCP-3922-A, all with the Stand "Guns and Roses," arrest Giorno for robbing the tourists, put him through counseling and send him to a foster home. Soon after, every member of Passione is arrested. Bucciarati is charged with child endangerment, La Squadra is charged with murder, Cioccolata is charged with murder and medical malpractice, and Diavolo is charged with killing everyone in his hometown. Every drug in the country of Italy is confiscated and destroyed by SCP-3922-A instances, followed by a news ticker about sharply reduced crime rates and drug overdoses.
