History WhamLine / SCPFoundation

* Doubling as an EasterEgg, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-231 SCP-231-7]] has the following hidden line in her description: "Don't believe it when they say they're trying to save [[ApocalypseMaiden her]]. Why would they bother? They've got exactly what they want exactly where they want it."
** This line eventually became [[SignatureLine so iconic to SCP-231]] that it's no longer hidden, just slightly smaller than the text of the text on the page.

--> '''SCP-2770-1''': I think you forgot about the water table, [[PrecisionFStrike you fucking idiot]].

-->'''SCP-5010:''' I know that you're the one who killed that poor girl downstairs. SCP-████[[note]]Apart from the obvious reason, this is also a wham line because it radically changes how SCP-5010's anomaly is perceived: the mysterious murders she solves were initially thought to be somehow caused by her presence, but this murder had taken place before she arrived at the site, implying she may be somehow drawn to them rather than causing them.]]

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-089 SCP-089]]: SCP-089-A is meant to be the sacrificial victim willingly given to [[KillItWithFire SCP-089]] by SCP-089-B to prevent disaster or mitigate on ongoing one. The longer the time before the sacrifice, the worse things become. A sacrifice done 37 hours after the beginning of a prophesied volcanic eruption limited the casualties to zero. A sacrifice done five years after the beginning of a prophesied religious uprising numbered in the million.

* From [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/tuftos-proposal Tufto's 001 Proposal]], there is an ''inversion'' of the shock-by-non-standard-object-class method. Insofar as the Wiki/SCPFoundation's universe has a BigBad, it is the [[SatanicArchetype Scarlet King]]. But when he's finally written up as an SCP?

** Interestingly, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6229 SCP-6229]] does exactly that, rather than being in a 001 slot, to not be conspicious for unrelated reasons.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2718 SCP-2718]]: "We must declare human death a Keter SCP," she demanded, "and contain it at any cost." This is stated by an 05 Council member after hearing of [[AndIMustScream what happens when a person dies]].

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2571 SCP-2571]] has this question, which reveals why everyone is so terrified of Cragglewood Park:
--> Mr. Blair, have you always been an only child?

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2571 SCP-2571]] has this question, which reveals why the final interviewee is so much more terrified of Cragglewood Park than the others:

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4833 SCP-4833]] has a particularly shocking one near the end. The leader of Syncope Symphony, now a frail old man, is cornered in the ruins of an abandoned high school by Agent O'Hara. She uses the opportunity to ask him about SCP-2316, which is connected to the Class of '76 that [[WouldHurtAChild they experimented on]]. Though we don't hear his answer, O'Hara's reaction suggests [[NotMeThisTime he doesn't know what she's talking about]]. [[spoiler:Now consider the fact that 2316 itself [[NiceJobBreakingItHero blames the Foundation for letting it exist]]]].
-->'''O'Hara''': Why did you experiment on children?\\
'''SCP-4833-A''': ''(unintelligible)''\\
'''O'Hara''': And the lake?\\
'''SCP-4833-A''': ''(unintelligible)''\\
'''O'Hara''': [[DidNotSeeThatComing I... what?]]

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2770 SCP-2770]] is divided into a man on a raft who appears floating in the ocean and a submarine that destroys any ship that tries to rescue him. During [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/incidentreportnullpleaseseeasupervisor Incident 2770-C]] the Foundation try to save the guy by airlifting him to the desert. When questioned, he has only this to say:

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5140 SCP-5140]] describes a phenomenon on Mt. Everest where bodies that drain all heat appear on the mountain, contact with them being fatal and turns them into more instances, and they may or may not be animate and hostile. Creepy but what turns it to mind bogglingly impossible is the last line during [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture an incident in 2024]] where global warming causes a huge part of the snow to collapse from the mountain revealing MUCH more corpses. How much?

* An ''accidental'' example, in the form of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness creating a MetaTwist, occurs at the beginning of SCP-682's entry. It's a recurring theme of the articles that the purpose of the Foundation is ''not'' to destroy objects, but rather to study and contain them. Which makes it so startling (at least to a new reader who doesn't know 682 is the second-oldest object on the site) that 682's containment procedures begin with this line:

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2932 SCP-2932]] is a Foundation-style prison for anomalies, constructed by the Bigfoots (a.k.a. SCP-1000) thousands of years ago. At the end of a series of interviews from the Warden, we get this line regarding a prisoner known only as "[[TheFairFolk Fae]]", and for whom [[NothingIsScarier no other description is given]]:

-->"They simply wanted to do it."
