SCP-3500 - Instructions Unclear, Got Dick Stuck in Canon

SCP-3500 is a version of Foundation researcher Dr. Ralph Roget from an alternate timeline. 3500 will spontaneously manifest near the real Roget, claiming that it is because of "a distortion of narrative cohesion".
  • Author Avatar: The anomaly affects several Foundation personnel who are these to their authors, causing said authors' personal work to spill out (or collapse inward, rather) into their world as a large amount of clones. This is because the authors involved have cranked out a ton of SCPs, which is putting strain on the Foundation universe.

SCP-3507- Father, This Day I Bring You True Glory

SCP-3507 was a semi-corporeal samurai who made it his mission to life to eradicate yokai.
  • Demon Slaying: 3507's mission in life is to eradicate all "Y-class entities". As he's the only being capable of damaging them and the threat they pose to human life, the Foundation, in a rare display of leniency, allows 3507 to continue hunting them so long as he remains he's cooperative.

SCP-3512 - The More You Know

SCP-3512 is a phenomenon where women's personalities are drastically altered, but they also randomly start screaming for no reason. While investigating the man believed to be responsible, two Foundation agents discovered a highly disturbing book about how to pick up women using highly esoteric methods derived from the Fifthist Church. The book details constructing an animated doll out of bones and fat cells that can be used to control a person. It gets even worse when they discover a river of fat in the caves beneath the city.
  • Alien Geometries: SCP-3512-2 goes into bizarre detail on strange shapes and specific architectural landmarks that supposedly have power. The exploration log details attempts to search a strange cavern running beneath the Sagrada Familia that is no longer there when the Foundation sends in a MTF.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Agent Rey disappears during the investigation of the caverns, and he seems like a bit of a playboy himself. The author intended for the reader to be unsure if he was involved in SCP-3512, and if so how much he knew.
  • Arc Number: Both five, being a Fifthist-related article, and twelve, which is heavily prominent in SCP-3512-2, which has every chapter after 12 also listed as chapter 12.
    What is a twelve? Nothing but a hollow shell for fives to hide in.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: Neither of the users of SCP-3512 are caught, the printing presses fabricating more SCP-3512-2 are not found, and the mutated person under the Basilica turns Agent Cooper into a Sex Slave, then immediately discards her in a cistern full of other women, living and dead, the moment he finishes having sex with her. Though, at the same time, these men have exchanged everything about themselves for an existence that is ultimately emotionally empty and they're implied to be quite miserable, so Was It Really Worth It? is in effect. Moreover, MTF Omega-0 recovers Cooper's soul with her original identity intact, meaning that targeting her specifically was a Pyrrhic Victory in the long run.
  • Death of Personality:
    • To quote the article:
    "Women affected by SCP-3512 score extremely highly on NEO-PI-R measures for openness, extraversion and agreeableness. This is the case regardless of previous personality indicators, and affected women do not appear to be aware of such changes. The behaviour of affected women is characterised by high sociability and lack of inhibition, punctuated by prolonged bouts of uncontrollable screaming. The incidence and duration of screaming has been observed to decline over a 4-5 month period. Other personality changes appear to be permanent."
    • Subverted with Riley Cooper; though she is consumed by SCP-3512's effects, it's revealed that they do not persist beyond death. As a result, she is inducted into MTF Omega-0 during the events of There is No Antimemetics Division with her original personality intact to battle SCP-3125.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: Directly invoked. SCP-3512-2 is a pick-up artist self-help book created by a Fifthist, and it maintains the same tone as one even as it describes traditional Fifthist gobbledygook. And the process it details involves performing black magic, heavily implied Human Sacrifice and "harvesting" Human Resources from one's own family, and finally literally mutilating oneself out of human shape for the power to make women into Sex Slaves, just as disciples of non-anomalous pickup artists are asked to completely refashion their morals and personality to learn to seduce women. Furthermore, just like most pickup artists, they ultimately find the process completely empty, tiring of and discarding the women they affect in this way. Also, the author of SCP-3512-2 goes by the name Enigma. Though, if the creepy and unseen figure beneath the Basilica is the author, he might have little in common with his obvious namesake.
  • Evil Is Visceral: SCP-3512-1 instances need adipose tissue to form, with pork fat being an inferior substitute for human. Beneath the Basilica, the agents find a literal river of half-molten human fat for the fabrication of SCP-3512-1, and a gigantic example, nearly four meters across, with human spines for limbs.
  • Fingore: One of the last steps detailed in SCP-3512-2 involves snapping off one's own pinkie. The only part of a figure implied to have undergone the ritual to a very high level to be seen in a camera is a hand, covered in raw cuts from which seven additional fingers protrude (for a total of twelve), all of them mobile.
  • Human Resources: SCP-3512-2 implies this heavily when it all-but states that pork fat is an inferior substitute to the usual ingredients in SCP-3512-1, then becomes less subtle when it talks about how a previous step was to tie up one's family to "harvest" for ingredients. The river of human fat, bundles of fingers, the countless fingers stitched onto the figure beneath the Basilica, and the cistern full of freshly-abandoned sex slaves and the corpses of less-fresh ones that are implied to be ground up into more fat all paint a pretty horrific portrait.
  • Puppeteer Parasite: SCP-3512-1 instances are implied, by the SCP-3512-2 passages on creating and controlling them, to crawl into sleeping women's mouths and down their throats to subject them to SCP-3512.
  • Orifice Invasion: Implied. When SCP-3512-2 details creating and directing SCP-3512-1 instances, it advises the reader to imagine the mouth and throat of their "intended," before it scurries away. But considering one colossal, nearly four meter instance with human spines instead of limbs seemingly manages to infest Agent Cooper, maybe not just entering their body.
  • Quest for Sex: One that's Played for Horror in extremis. How much are you willing to give up to get laid?
  • "Ray of Hope" Ending: There is No Antimemetics Division reveals SCP-3512's victims are freed from its effects when they die, as Cooper is among MTF Omega-0's members. Given the innumerable amount of ways to ethically reclaim someone's soul in the Foundation's universe, there may still be hope for the other victims if the Foundation or a third party were to take interest.
  • Religion of Evil: In the lair of whoever's under the Basilica, there's a fresco of the Virgin Mary, pregnant and chained to a star-shaped rack, while smoke pours from a pipe in her neck. This obviously invokes the Madonna-Whore Complex.
  • Sensei for Scoundrels: Enigma is a super-dark version that teaches some super-dark things, given he's literally teaching pickup artists how to mind-control women.
  • Sex Slave: Played with. Ultimately, the pliant sex-dolls practitioners turn women into don't emotionally satisfy them, so they don't bother keeping them around. What's implied to be a very advanced one who captures a Foundation agent and subjects her to SCP-3512 has sex with her, then immediately drags her to a cistern with many other similarly-affected women and the corpses of former victims at the bottom and throws her down when he's done, abandoning her to die in the dark. The author states that this is a deliberate intended parallel with the attitudes of real-life pickup artists, who don't want to admit that they have emotional needs that constant sex with easily-seduced women won't satisfy, and so never keep up any kind of long-term relationship, figuratively throwing women away.
  • Significant Anagram: Every chapter title in SCP-3512-2 is an anagram of the book's title, and the final chapter is nothing but a list of said anagrams arranged in bizarre geometries.
  • Swiss-Army Appendage: Downplayed. SCP-3512-1 can apparently be built with limbs designed to undo locks or otherwise get around security measures, but SCP-3512-2 points out doing so makes them harder to sculpt.
  • Tome of Eldritch Lore: SCP-3512-2 is one. Although written in the style of a sleazy pick-up artist self-help book, by chapter twelve (which then repeats) it's detailing not ways to alter one's mindset or attitude, but manipulating Alien Geometries and horrifying rituals to seduce women. The one recovered by agents during the investigation is in pre-publishing, but in the vanishing caverns under the Basilica, they find three massive printing presses chugging away without power, fabricating it in huge quantities...
  • Was It Really Worth It?: Symbolically. After all the horrible things that the mysterious figure under the Segrada Familia has done to himself and the awful, dehumanizing fate it subjects Agent Cooper to, it spends roughly seven minutes having sex with her before tossing her into a pit full of previous victims, implicitly to die in the dark and ultimately be ground up to make more fat to turn into more SCP-3512-1, to turn more women into sex dolls. All of that pain and suffering, both its own and that of others, for seven minutes of pretty lousy sex that even it doesn't seem to enjoy anymore, just grinding away at out of compulsive habit and addiction. Any parallels to the actual pick-up artist lifestyle are fully intentional.

SCP-3519 - These Quiet Days

SCP-3519 was a memetic phenomenon convincing nearly everyone on the planet that the world would end on March 5th, 2019. The anomaly gradually passed because almost every person in the world killed themselves before the supposed end of the world, leaving nobody for it to affect.
  • After the End: By the end of the article, there's only one known survivor.
  • Downer Ending: SCP-3519 is neutralized only because March 5th has passed and now there's nobody left alive for it to affect.
  • Driven to Suicide: Being affected by SCP-3519 results in people suffering this fate to avoid the apocalypse they believe awaits on March 5th. Nearly everyone on Earth has killed themselves by March 5th.
  • Meaningful Name: Or number in this case. SCP-3519 is the belief the world will end on March 5th, 2019. Or 3/5/19 according to normal methods of writing the date in the United States.
  • Next Sunday A.D.: The setting of the article. Justified by the fact that SCP-3519 causes an apocalypse, which would make setting it in the immediate present impractical.
  • Only Sane Man:
    • Neil deGrasse Tyson is the only person in the interview excerpt who isn't fully convinced of SCP-3519's plausibility.
    • Rory Jones, the lone confirmed survivor, may also qualify. That is, assuming choosing to live as the last person on Earth qualifies as "sane."
  • Prophecy Twist: SCP-3519 takes the form of a memetic plague that convinces those affected an apocalyptic event will occur on March 5th, 2019. There is no sign of any apocalyptic event on that date except for the near-total demise of humanity as a result of SCP-3519-induced mass suicides.
  • Real-Person Fic: Anderson Cooper, Kellyanne Conway and Neil deGrasse Tyson all appear in an interview excerpt included in the article. Donald Trump is also alluded to via a tweet about the apocalypse but is never identified by name. Pope Francis also appears, if only for the Global Occult Coalition to forcibly sequester him so he can't absolve those who kill themselves because of SCP-3519 in an attempt to prevent further suicides.

SCP-3540 - Don't Queer The Reaper

SCP-3540 is an annual phenomenon occuring during the month of October. Two cloaked entities (SCP-3540-1, "Maurice" and SCP-3540-2, "Lance") manifest somewhere in the continental United States and spend the month inhabiting an abandoned house in a suburban neighborhood that they have decorated for Halloween.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Lance calls Maurice "Maury".
  • Cast Full of Gay: All three characters named in the story are in homosexual relationships.
  • Celestial Bureaucracy: For whatever afterlife Maurice and Lance ferry souls to, it has a management that recognizes the emotional taxation of being Psychopomps and mandates at least two weeks vacation annually, allowing the gay reapers a whole month together.
  • Don't Fear the Reaper: Given their interaction with Agent Gittings, Maurice and Lance are friendly with others, living or dying.
  • Double Meaning: During Agent Gittings' 2017 reunion with Maurice and Lance, they kept using phrasing in their conversation that wasn't outright indicative of their paranormal nature. To an outsider, they would sound like they're a gay human couple that works together at a retirement home and want to adopt but can't due to discrimination.
    SCP-3540-1: And feel free to come by anytime for dinner, Lance can make Chicken Parmesan that's to die for.
  • Friend to All Children: Maurice and Lance are endeared by children and their celebration of Hallowe'en, only moving into neighborhoods with a sizeable population of festive children under the age of ten. Maurice says seeing the younger generations live life makes his job worth it, and states that he and Lance whould adopt if they could. Given what the two say about their interactions with the locals and that they only make themselves known during October, it seem that children who happen to see them assume they are adults in costume.
  • Halloween Episode: SCP-3540 only occurs during the month of October, ending on All Hallows' Day.
  • Meet Cute: Maurice and Lance first met each other on the job one day in October (naturally, at a funeral).
  • Non-Malicious Monster: They're grim reapers that randomly manifest in populated towns and hijack abandoned structures for Halloween. They're also inspired by the happiness of children, are nothing but nice to Gittings and the worst thing they do is accidently decorate a neighbor's tree unwittingly.
  • One Degree of Separation: The SCP Foundation can't predict where SCP-3540 will manifest, so it was pure coincidence that in 2017, Maurice and Lance chose to vacation in the same city that Agent Kay Gittings (an SCP agent they previously met) so happened to have moved to with her girlfriend the September prior.
  • Over-the-Top Christmas Decorations: The vacant homes SCP-3540 occurs at becomes completely redone with Hallowe'en decorations inside and out. They may get in a little trouble for trespassing, but that's better than ruining Maurice's aesthetic.
    SCP-3540-2: I very explicitly remember you telling me to, and I quote, "Cover that shit in web".
  • Pun-Based Title: A little rhyme with the word queer playing off of the trope Don't Fear the Reaper.
  • Special Person, Normal Name: They're ostensibly supernatural beings, but instead of any Religious and Mythological Theme Naming, their names are simply Maurice and Lance.

    3550- 3599 

SCP-3583 - Hellbus

SCP-3583 is an anomalous, self-driving school bus that travels a route associated with a public school in a town in Oklahoma. Every school day, it manifests itself in the school's bus zone, waits until a desired number of passengers steps aboard it, then transports itself into an alternate dimension full of disasters.
  • Alternate Universe: The bus travels through an alternate version of the town it's in, with the main difference being that it is currently suffering from a wide variety of disasters, natural and man made.
  • Apocalypse How: The disasters the other dimension is suffering from range from civil unrest, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, zombie apocalypses, and more.
  • Body of Bodies: It is made out of a wide variety of mismatched schoolbus parts, held together by an unknown force. It can disassemble itself at will should anyone try to remove it from the town.
  • Mundane Utility: The school the bus has attached itself to is perfectly fine co-operating with the Foundation in containing the hellbus in its area. It's a perfectly good bus, after all, and regular buses are expensive enough as is.
  • Non-Malicious Monster: Whatever it is, it wants to be a school bus, and outside of the disturbing route it takes, the children are never harmed and are delivered to their homes like a regular school bus.

SCP-3588 - Cheers

SCP-3588 is Flynn's, an abandoned bar in Springfield, Oregon that was condemned after it was destroyed in a fire. When someone enters the bar, it will appear just as it did before the fire. An anomalous bartender, Jack, will manifest behind the bar and engage in conversation with whoever enters, offering them their favorite drink without needing to be told what it is.
  • Ghostly Goals: The bartender, Jack, remains attached to the earth because he feels someone needs to be there for the people who don't have anything else.
  • Immune to Bullets: Being a ghost, the bartender is unaffected by gunfire. He barely even notices it.
  • Our Ghosts Are Different: This is the ghost of an entire bar, which was destroyed in a fire that killed its bartender. On entering the bar, it returns to exactly the way it was before the fire, with the bartender materializing behind the bar.

SCP-3591 - The Fallen Giant

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons

    3600- 3649 

SCP-3602 - The Monkey King's Legacy

SCP-3602 is a community of Golden snub-nosed monkeys that are capable of human speech. Out of the 400 total monkeys in the community, 18 of them are effectively immortal, and credit their eternal life to the Chinese sun deity Wukong.
  • Civilized Animal: They are capable of using tools and utilizing fire as a source of warmth.
  • Immortality: SCP-3602-A instances are immortal.
  • Outliving One's Offspring: SCP-3602-B instances are the children of the SCP-3602-A instances, but unlike them are mortal, having similar lifespans to ordinary golden snub-nosed monkeys.
  • Self-Immolation: SCP-3602-A-9 attempted to do this to herself, but failed due to her immortality.
  • Talking Animal: They can talk, preferring to use Mandarin.
  • Who Wants to Live Forever?: This is SCP-3602-A-9's reasoning for trying to kill herself; she feels bitter about having to live like the animal she once was after challenging the gods.

SCP-3607 - Residence Evil

SCP-3607 is a two-story house that contains a spatial anomaly in one of its bedrooms. The house's electrical appliances are also known to turn on and off for no reason, and sudden drops of temperature are common within it.
  • Bigger on the Inside: The SCP is a two-story house; however, Devin ████'s bedroom contains a space that is much larger than normally possible.
  • Gravity Screw: The spatial anomaly in Devin's bedroom also affects its gravity.
  • Shout-Out: The name is a nod to Resident Evil.

SCP-3613 - Things You People Wouldn't Believe

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the multiple canons folder.

SCP-3634 - In Vino Veritas

SCP-3634 is a corkscrew shaped like a skeleton key. Whenever it is used to open a case of alcohol, the substance of the case is turned into an instance of SCP-3634-A, a liquid chemically indistinguishable from its previous form that compels whoever drinks from it to tell the truth.
  • Abusive Parents: One father threw his daughter out the window because she drank SCP-3634-A and started complaining about getting a sweater for Christmas while her brother got a Transformers toy.
  • Bestiality Is Depraved: The housekeeper confesses to falling in love with the family's German Shepherd.
  • Black Comedy: The general tone of the article, where a Big, Screwed-Up Family holds a Christmas party that's affected by an anomalous corkscrew that compels them to act out and tell the truth. People get thrown out of windows, get their arms broken, eat jewelry, confess their darkest desires, and SCP-3634 itself is recovered from the groin of a particularly unlucky partygoer.
  • Cringe Comedy: There's some of this thrown in, where the agents are reacting to the outlandish behavior of the family, even the ones who aren't intoxicated.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: A man breaks his little brother's arm for refusing to stop doing "that stupid fucking dance from that fucking game".
  • Extreme Omnivore: A 61-year-old man under the influence of SCP-3634-A stole and ate some of the family jewelry. His only excuse is "They always looked so tasty."
  • Groin Attack: The corkscrew was pulled out of the groin of Alexander W██████, with no further information as to how it got there.
  • In Vino Veritas: A literal case; anyone who drinks alcohol from a container opened with the SCP becomes compelled to tell the truth and do things they would normally not do.
  • Obnoxious In-Laws:
    • The first interviewee admits that he threw a flat-screen TV at his father-in-law for talking way too much about sex with his mum in front of the interviewee's toddler son.
    • The last interviewee complains that he's wanted to kill his wife's family ever since he married into them.
      L.W.: They're all mad, and tonight proved that!
      Trevor: As much as I'd love to let you have at them, it's 6:00 in the evening on Christmas, we've had to interview over 100 people, I've seen three different sets of balls and half a set of tits, and if I could, I'd make everyone who drank that stupid wine D-Class. But instead I'm supposed to give you a couple of pills that will make you forget everything.
      L.W.: Who the hell are you?
      Trevor: Someone who really sympathizes with your plight. Here's some advice, if you remember anything: Get. A. Divorce!
  • Only Sane Man: Only one of the interviewees doesn't act completely crazy, as she didn't drink any of the champagne due to being on liver medication.
  • Shout-Out: The name of the task force that contains the party is "A Hundred Drunk White Children", which is a paraphrase of a line from a bit of a John Mulaney stand-up special where he recounts a similarly chaotic party.
  • Skewed Priorities: One of the later interviews involves a man being told he's now considered a sex offender. He assumes it's because he and his partner were singing Spice Girls songs; the agent clarifies it's because they were doing that while having sex in front of their extended family.

    3650- 3699 

SCP-3654 - WarTime

SCP-3654 is a World War II torpedo boat that comes from an alternate timeline. The vessel is known to enter a cycle of existence and non-existence every 29 days, and is capable of moving on its own without the use of its engines.
  • Alternate History: 3654 is an American WWII motor torpedo boat that was from a universe where an Allied invasion of mainland Japan (the aborted Operation Downfall in our timeline) occurred, but...something went terribly wrong.
  • Due to the Dead: At one point, 3654 returned with one of its bunks cleared out save for a soldier's picture, bottles of alcohol, and wilted flowers as a makeshift memorial.
  • Noodle Incident: One of the biggest themes to this SCP is that it is never explained just what is happening to it. Every time it returns produces a new one, such as:
    • The first time it appeared, it was found covered in makeshift camouflage and contained a pile of partially burnt calendar pages and various destroyed timepieces.
    • A makeshift memorial on one of the bunks.
    • A sundial being built on the deck, apparently in an attempt to track time. A later instance shows the sundial partially dismantled, with the pieces stuffed under another bunk.
    • Several of the crewmen moving their quarters closer to the engine room, with a chalk line drawn halfway between the engine room and the remaining bunks.
    • Someone ransacked the captain's quarters, apparently to locate and destroy a single pocket watch.
    • Signs of a crude barricade erected in front of one of the cargo holds. The only anomalous thing found inside was a calendar with multiple dates crossed out.
    • Various shrines and pyres being erected all over 3654.
    • The entire interior of 3654 becoming covered in drawings of clocks and more of the Starfish Language.
    • 3654 finally being located scuttled in a cove, with a large blood stain on the center of the deck.
  • Reality Is Out For Lunch: The universe that 3654 came from appears to have underwent a Time Crash of some sort and as such it phases between this universe and its originals, and whatever is going on there, it isn't good for its inhabitants.
  • Sanity Slippage: Not as apparent, but with each iteration the crew seems to be going more and more over the edge. They at first seem to try to communicate with the Foundation, and even successfully request supplies, but as 3654 keeps re-appearing, the crew seems to become more and more divided, and at least one crew member appears to have been shot at by another and had to barricade themselves in a cargo room. The final appearance shows what seems to be a Kill Everyone situation, with the ship scuttled and a large blood stain on the deck indicating that all, or most of the crew, killed themselves or were killed by an outside force.
  • Starfish Language: While the Foundation have determined that 3654 was crewed by human Americans, their language at this point is as yet undecipherable, though they are able to crudely communicate with the Foundation through simple sketches.
  • Time Crash: One thing for certain about 3654 is that, wherever it is from, something is seriously wrong with the flow of time there.

SCP-3670 - Dreamed Corn

SCP-3670 is an owl-shaped throw pillow that grants the wishes of those who sleep on it. The only side effect of these wishes is that every one of them causes the manifestation of creamed corn.
  • Benevolent Genie: Sort of. It will genuinely try to fulfill wishes in a way beneficial to the asker (i.e. when asked for 'breakfast' by someone with celiac disease, it will make sure said breakfast is gluten-free)... but it'll only ever utilize methods that involve creamed corn.
  • Berserk Button: Don't specifically ask for "something that isn't creamed corn". It will just give you a bowl of bitter-tasting creamed corn.
  • Cute Owl: It's an owl-shaped throw pillow that attempts to grant your wishes when you go to sleep with your head on it. The key word being "attempts".
  • Make a Wish: It attempts to grant the user's wishes, but everything it gives you involves creamed corn. Wish for breakfast? A bowl of creamed corn. Twenty dollars? A bill soaked in creamed corn. A car? It fills the gas tank of your car with creamed corn. Kill SCP-682? See See Post-Breach Report: Structural Integrity of Site-19's Interior Following Corn Manifestation Incident.
  • Noodle Incident: The Foundation tried to use it to kill SCP-682. Whatever it did, it involved a lot of creamed corn.
  • Single-Issue Wonk: For some reason, this thing is obsessed with creamed corn.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: When the researcher involved, having gotten very, very tired of the testing process, simply requested "a bowl of creamed corn", the bowl was accompanied by a get-well card.

SCP-3671 - A very angry box of cereal

SCP-3671 is a box of cereal that is capable of manifesting a wide variety of cereal and/or objects every day at 6:30 AM. It is capable of communication through changing its labels, and has grown a vicious temper after a Foundation doctor ripped it trying to get some cereal from it.
  • Animate Inanimate Object: It's a sentient box of cereal.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Somebody accidentally tore the box while trying to get the plastic bag out of it? Send them lethal objects so that they would die!
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Yes, it is a very angry box of cereal.
  • Hope Spot: At one point it acts like it finally forgave the Foundation for accidentally ripping it, and, instead of giving them lethal objects, it finally gave cereal… and the analysis showed that the cereal contained lethal amount of cyanide.
    SCP-3671: Shit, I was sure you'd fall for that one. I still hate you, by the way.
  • Ineffectual Death Threats: Threatens to find out where Frank Wright (the doctor who ripped it) lives and slit his throat while he sleeps. However, being a cereal box, it has no means of acting upon this threat.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The box wouldn't have gotten angry if the Foundation staff had been more careful with removing the plastic bag from it.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: After getting angry, it constantly writes profanities on itself.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Accuses the Foundation (more specifically, Frank Wright) of being one, as it states it gives them cereal everyday, and they repaid it by tearing it.

SCP-3675 - The Void Called

SCP-3675 are a group of incomporial sapient entities attempting to bring about an SK-Class Dominance Shift Scenario by infecting humans with a mental contagion known as SCP-3675-1 which eventually changes those inflicted into becoming The Sociopath, followed by full-blown psychosis.
  • Demonic Possession: SCP-3675-1 turns out to be more this than The Virus that the Foundation initially assumes. With those infected eventually personality wise becoming another instance of SCP-3675.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: Throughout the article it is more apparent that SCP-3675 are specifically the souls of dead humans in perpetual torment, who believe the only way to calm their torment, even superficially, is to inflict this fate on every single living human.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: SCP-3675's primary motivation. Their goal of exterminating human life simply being that they can't stand the idea of humans not going through the torment they are experiencing.
  • Painting the Medium: The article warns that the article includes recent edits that might contain cognitohazard and that such edits should be reversed. The article shows a few of these edits followed by what was originally in their place and a comment by what is assumed to be an instance of SCP-3675 giving a Motive Rant.
  • The Sociopath: Those infected by SCP-3675-1 eventually become this. Having symptoms including Lack of Empathy, increased aggression, lack of self preservation, and shifts between calm and sudden anger.

    3700- 3749 

SCP-3700 - Tides of War

SCP-3700 is an area of the Faroe, Okney, and Shetland Archipelagos inhabited by a group of monsters that fight one another every equinox. Whichever creature wins these fights will be able to determine the area's weather until the next equinox.
  • Eye Beams: Two of SCP-3700-1's eyes can shoot lasers of gamma radiation.
  • Gentle Giant: Despite SCP-3700-1's freaky appearance, it is not hostile unless SCP-3700-2, who is hostile, shows up.
  • Kaiju: SCP-3700-1 is a friendly but enormous and deadly arthropod six kilometers in length, with claws, clubs, and Eye Beams. SCP-3700-2 is a giant and very angry pelican eel which can control the weather, breathe fire, and has 13 retractable Combat Tentacles.
  • Sequel Hook: More like "Supplementary tale/new SCP hook," but when SCP-3700-1 and SCP-3700-2 are mutually killed during one particular battle, the MTF monitoring them notices dangerous amounts of gamma radiation in the water, and something trying to contact the surface. However, command denies their requests to explore the waters beneath them, ending the SCP on a cliffhanger. Said sequel has now been released as SCP-4700.
  • Take a Third Option: Like SCP-3240, SCP-3700 uses the Hiemal object class to indicate that containment of SCP-3700 can create new, entirely different anomalies unless handled correctly.
  • Weather Manipulation: SCP-3700-2 can manipulate the weather in the area surrounding it to enter dangerous, harsh storm conditions, unless SCP-3700-1 beats it first.

SCP-3713 - All The World's A Stage

SCP-3713 was a series of events that spontaneously caused everyone in its area of effect to believe that they were performers in a musical theater production.
  • And I Must Scream: The more she resists the anomaly, this befalls Camilla Marquez in increasingly terrible ways. First, that she is trapped in a world where everyone around her acts like they're in a musical, and ignore anything she says or does that doesn't fit the "plot." Then, when she nearly kills herself trying to escape the "cast," she's whisked to some kind of alternate dimension comprised only of a musical stage, where she's ultimately forced beyond her will to play along to an unseen audience. The video log of her time there describes her being forced to bow, "jerking and twitching" in attempt to stop herself, and collapsing and vomiting the moment she's free of the effect.
  • The End... Or Is It?: After the snafu involving Camilla Marquez, the anomaly completely vanishes, until Camilla disappears nine years later, with only a bag of blood and vomit left behind, and a few fliers advertising a big new show coming soon...
  • The Immune: For whatever reason, Camilla Marquez is immune to its effect, and neither plays along with the musical nor is oblivious to (or accepting of) the weirdness of its effect. The anomaly is not happy about it. According to an interview with her mother, there may be more going on there than it seems: Camilla's paranoia about the world being a play did not start with her incident, and she has several quirk and unexplained traumas that imply that she had been linked with the anomaly for some time. The SCP's author indicates that this is meant to imply that what the Foundation sees is only the tip of the iceberg.
  • The Musical: SCP-3713 turns the lives of random people into musical theater.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: SCP-3713 sounds pretty funny at first, and it's noted that nearly all of its effects typically wear off without any damage (in several cases with the "feel good" endings of the musical lasting past the anomaly ending), but an event in Puerto Rico shows it's been targeting the traumatic memories of one specific individual and doesn't much like being ignored...
  • Performance Anxiety: SCP-3713 seems to comprise of an "audience" who creates the effect for entertainment, which in one instance had particular interest in a seemingly immune Camila Marquez, a young Puerto Rican woman who suffered from stage fright as a child and was found injured in the woods near her school. Camila ends up so traumatized by her experiences with 3713 that she develops a fear of movies, theater, and the sun.
  • Pet the Dog: A little bit of both this and Kick the Dog in the way the Foundation handles Camilla's case. On the one hand, they don't forcibly amnesticize her like they do other civilians, allowing her to keep her memories of the masqeruade, giving her access to a genuinely helpful and compassionate Federation psychiatrist, and even let her loved ones in (somewhat) on the situation so that they can help them. On the other hand, it's noted that this is because they find her mental trauma fascinating and seek to study it, and there's a fair chance that had they erased her memories the same as they did for all the others, the anomaly might have not taken her for good later on.
  • Shout-Out: The titular phrase is taken from As You Like It.
  • Spontaneous Choreography: As it causes real life to resemble a musical, it naturally causes this as well. In one extreme case, it spontaneously took control of over a hundred actors to coordinate an attempt to bring a plot back onto the rails.
  • That's No Moon: The "sun" in the anomaly's alternate dimension is actually an enormous spotlight. Realizing this made Camilla Marquez forever terrified that the actual sun in the real world was really fake, and always focused on her.
  • "Truman Show" Plot: The nature of Camilla's PTSD. After being taken by the anomaly she shows a fear that the world is still a stage and that she's always being observed, that the sun is focused on her, that the people around her are not genuine, etc. However, things get far more complicated when her mother tells the Foundation that while it's far worse after the incident they know about, she'd had that condition for years before that point - even believing her parents were actors.
  • Weirdness Censor: The SCP causes this in anyone under its area of effect, allowing them to perceive the musical and even act within it. However, one should hope they aren't somehow immune to this effect, as Camilla Marquez found out the hard way - if you don't play along, the anomaly will make you with increasing severity, ultimately kidnapping her for "lessons" on how to act better.

SCP-3737 - Rainbow Bridge

SCP-3737 is an interdimensional island that can only be accessed by a specific bridge in Greenland. The island is inhabited by household pets who died when their owners were children.
  • Another Dimension: The SCP is an interdimensional anomaly that manifests as a tropical island, and can only be accessed by SCP-3737-1 (the titular bridge).
  • Back from the Dead: The SCP appears to have the pets of visitors that died when the visitors were children living on it.

SCP-3740 - God is Dumb

SCP-3740 is Ashur, the Assyrian god of air. He has demonstrated complete control over air currents and air pressure in his area, as well as the ability to communicate with flying animals. Ashur has also demonstrated himself as an incredibly gullible individual, believing that a number of mundane abilities proves that people around him are fellow gods.
  • Blow You Away: He's the Assyrian god of air and has control over wind.
  • Manchild: 3740 is extremely gullible, to the point where the Foundation is able to convince him that they're his fellow gods with simple special FX.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: His Weather Manipulation abilities enable him to wreak major havoc. If he wasn't so gullible, he'd be a major threat.
  • Super Gullible: Things that can convince Ashur that one is a god: magic tricks, cat toys, hair dye, using light switches. Things that do not convince him: being an actual fellow god (Suen).
  • Super Power Lottery: SCP-3740 has extremely powerful wind powers, can talk to flying animals, and possibly has other reality warping powers, as he is an actual god, specifically Ashur, the Assyro-Babylonian god of air. The Foundation contains him by taking advantage of the fact that he is incredibly gullible.

SCP-3749 - Apocalyptic Death Metal Sword

SCP-3749 is a set of flying blades created by a misanthropic mall ninja that wanted to create an Artifact of Doom to end all life.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: The weapons created with the intent of making a line of Evil Weapons that would wipe out all life. Unfortunately, their creator created them using a set of blades he bought at the mall and basic thaumaturgy. The results were a set of cheaply manufactured flying blades that break trying to kill each other, the last remaining sword desperate to slay all the germs in the air (and any person that comes near it) before the Foundation finds out about it.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Played for Laughs. The sword was created with the intent of wiping out all life on Earth... including microscopic organisms like bacteria and other pathogens. Except for its ability to float around, it's no more deadly than a regular mall-bought sword. The result is a floating sword swiping at the air, ineffectually trying to murder any germ near it. It's still a sword though and it won't hesitate to kill any unfortunate human that comes near it.
  • We ARE Struggling Together: SCP-3749-B through D were left in pieces when all of the instances tried to destroy each other the moment they were animated, SCP-3749-A being the winner and the only one still in-tact.

    3750- 3799 

SCP-3755 - Guess How Many

SCP-3755 is a phenomenon that compels people to accurately guess the number of 755 items are in a set.
  • The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: The caption for the page image says "This image is known to be able to induce SCP-3755-1."
  • Meaningful Name: Or number in this case. The SCP number is 3755, and individuals affected by it are usually able to accurately say the number of items in a set of 755 similar items.

SCP-3760 - He's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes.

SCP-3760 is a mutagenic phenomenon in which infected people will have injured tissues mutate into the parts of a shark. Those who have shark mouths grow on them will crave animal flesh to satiate their newfound hunger.
  • Bad Future: The cause of this SCP is heavily related to a K/O Failure Scenario in one of the Shark Punching Centre alternate timelines, where the SPC failed in its mission of punching sharks and the sharks won.
  • Body Horror: Anyone infected with SCP-3760 will have their injured tissue mutate into the form of shark parts, such as scales, jaws, eyes, noses, and cartilage.
  • Horror Hunger: Any infectee who has shark mouths growing on them will have their orifices repeatedly seek for living or freshly deceased animal flesh, even moreso in the presence of blood.
  • Shark Man: An example that's played for horror. Anyone infected with the SCP will have their injured tissue mutate into shark parts, turning them into a Body Horror between man and shark.
  • The Virus: SCP-3760 spreads via an unknown method, but is heavily suggested to be via eye contact with an infected person.

SCP-3764 - A Gift From a Friend

SCP-3764 is a burlap sack containing a freshly baked loaf of bread that is said to come from "a friend". Those who eat the bread lose all feelings of hunger for the rest of the day, as well as various other pleasant sensations.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: SCP-3764 is a kind and caring anomaly that can and will heal you with no negative side effects. It's also capable of inflicting Mind Rape on those who are truly Beyond Redemption, although it has only ever done this to one person.
  • Bread of Survival: Several D-class who ate loaves produced by SCP-3764 had chronic ailments cured, including night terrors, sleep paralysis, clinical depression, and thoughts of suicide.
  • Character Catchphrase: Its notes are always signed with "-a friend".
  • Even the Loving Hero Has Hated Ones: SCP-3764 is a benevolent SCP that cares about the well-being of everyone. Except D-4561, a child rapist and murderer; it gave him a charred loaf of bread and a note signed with "not your friend", and gave him horrible nightmares every time he went to sleep.
  • Mind Rape: The fate of D-4561, a convicted child murderer and rapist. After interacting with SCP-3764, any time D-4561 falls asleep he will be plagued by violent and graphic nightmares for around 14-hours straight, with no way to wake him by force.
  • Miracle Food: A burlap sack that produces freshly baked loaves of wheat bread along with friendly little notes always signed from "-a friend". Not only do loaves provide full nutrition and nourishment, but they can ease mental and emotional ailments such as depression and suicidal thoughts.
  • No Conservation of Energy: A small burlap sack that can make an endless supply of tasty, freshly baked loaves of bread. The only limitations seem to be that it will only make enough loaves as people in its vicinity, and it will stop making loaves if its forced to be the only thing eaten by its users.
  • Omniglot: The label on the front of SCP-3764 and the writing in its notes will always be in the written language most familiar to the recipient. Illiterate recipients, when looking at the bag, see a picture of a loaf of bread.
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: SCP-3764 shows kindness even to murderers as long as they show guilt for what they've done; not the case with D-4561 who was an unrepentant child rapist who was given a charred loaf with a note that read "Sweet Dreams. - Not your friend".
  • Sentient Phlebotinum: While not defined with definitive proof, it's highly theorized SCP-3764 is sentient, as it not only can provide personalized notes, but can also pass judgement on those who use it or give comfort to those who need it.
  • Sympathy for the Devil: SCP-3764's kindness even extends to those who have committed crimes, provided they regret what they have done. D-3457, a murderer with suicidal ideations, received a loaf with a note that said, "Eat, and live. You owe them that much. -a friend." After he ate the loaf, he was no longer suicidal.
  • Terse Talker: The notes that come with the bread are usually short, one to two words in length, although SCP-3764 can write longer notes if needed to get its point across.

SCP-3799 - A Short History of Snowfall

SCP-3799 is a perfect sphere of snow floating 500 meters above Crozier Island, Greenland. Inside the sphere is SCP-3799-1, a male human corpse with an unknown variant of a Foundation uniform, its arm sticking out of the sphere that used to hold Foundation documents that concern the true nature of the sphere.
  • The Assimilator: Any corpse that came in contact with the snow was converted into more of the same snow. Combined with the brainwashing it caused, the snow grew in size thanks to those it affected committing suicide through hypothermia by burying themselves in the snow.
  • Driven to Suicide: Even some of those who weren't affected by the snow's cognitohazardous properties were driven to despair at the sight of how quickly the snow covered the world and went outside to be turned into more snow.
  • Gone Horribly Right: SCP-3799 was created by the Foundation in an attempt to retroactively ensure that there were never any anomalies in the world and to make it pure and clean of conflict and struggle. They got their wish and most of humanity became part of the snow, which covered most of the world.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: SCP-3799-1, immune to the snow's cognitohazardous properties, rammed his jet into SCP-3799 and bled out in the sphere to reverse everything it had done to the world and the timeline.
  • Ret-Gone: As the snow took hold of the world, it erased the histories of many nations and races and made it so that humanity only existed as either part of the snow or part of the Foundation.
  • Temporal Paradox: No matter how much of the timeline the snow retroactively changed, the Foundation will always exist despite the lack of events and factors required for the Foundation to even be founded in the first place.

    3800- 3849 

SCP-3812 - A Voice Behind Me

SCP-3812 was once Sam Howell, an African-American man who was believed to have died in 1996. He has since transformed into a reality-warper who is aware of the fact that he exists in a fictional universe, and is capable of travelling to other layers of metafiction, which he does in the hopes of returning to the "real world".
  • Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Exaggerated to a great degree. SCP-3812 has been constantly ascending above countless realities and narratives ever since he died in 1996. This is a very bad thing as his mind is not equipped for such a situation, and there's is a possibility that every reality below him, including the reality the Foundation resides in, may cease to be in an attempt to ease his mind.
  • Meta Fiction: The entry for it discusses the possibilities of beings so much higher in reality that they can be more or less considered gods by those below them and that those above them are their gods able to change the "narrative" of anything below them while crudely affecting their own "narrative". At one point one of the higher beings warps reality to apologize for its creation and claims it to be above both him and the being above him. He claims that he got in some serious trouble for making it by his superiors. It turns out that this being is the SCP's literal author in our world. The being above him is either the wiki or the whole community. The SCP is higher than both because it has achieved a level of renown that it affects those who read about it, thus taking on a life of its own.
  • My Skull Runneth Over: He has been driven insane and unresponsive due to being able to perceive every version and interaction of himself and the realities they're in simultaneously as he continues to ascend up an indeterminate number of narratives.
  • No-Sell: Every attempt to kill or contain it fails. Records indicate multiple governments, including anomalous ones, tried to neutralize it in the past and failed. Even the Foundation's own attempts failed and resulted in more dangerous anomalies to contain. Eventually it gets hammered by multiple attacks, explosions, incorporeal copies of itself, and even a black hole, all having zero effect on it. The Foundation gets a message on its servers from an entity claiming to have written the laws of the universe that the Foundation exists in, and said entity says that 3812 was an experiment on its part that was supposed to supercede the limits of the universe's narrative but has now gone entirely out of the entity's control and can't be killed.
  • Outside-Context Problem: The Foundation's Hume counters (which measure reality warpers' relative power) can't measure SCP-3812 at all. No one knows if that's because his Readings Are Off the Scale, or if his powers are somehow fundamentally different from other reality warpers. The implication is that SCP-3812 is different because he's from a higher narrative level. Prior reality warpers were localized to this narrative, so their powers only extended this far.
  • Reality Warper: It wiped out no less than three countries that tried to fight it, then wiped out almost all memory of those countries, then when the SCP Foundation discovered this, it continuously tries to wipe out the log of the event. Each time the event is relogged by people who remember the original entry. The process that allows people to not completely forget the event is called a kind of "'dirty' alteration" as not all of that piece of reality is wiped out. There are listed several events like this of various severities.
  • Was Once a Man: It was once a normal African-American man named Sam Howell. Shortly, after he died in 1996, he phased through the ground and started wandering.

SCP-3817 - Suffering For Your Art

SCP-3817 is an immortal clone of Felix Mendelssohn that has remained the same age for 200 years. The Mendelssohn clone is noted as having numerous self-inflicted injuries that would kill a normal human. He claims the injuries were not out of suicidal intent, but as an attempt to create musical compositions inspired by his own suffering, like the composers before him.
  • The Ageless: He has physically remained 40 years old for around 200 years.
  • Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: He is an immortal clone of Felix Mendelssohn with self-inflicted injuries that, in all, would very likely be fatal to a normal human. However, he maintains that those injuries are not out of suicidal intent, but rather so he could create musical masterpieces out of his suffering, just like the great composers before him. Once he finished composing "Songs Without Words", the SCP Foundation had musicologists analyse this composition with that of the real Mendelssohn. They concluded that the compositions are stylistically the same.
  • Made of Iron: His file provides a list of his very extensive injuries and points out that such injuries would very likely be fatal to a normal human.
  • Self-Harm: His injuries all have been self-inflicted, but he maintains that he has no suicidal intent.
  • True Art Is Angsty: In-Universe he believes this and this is why he has inflicted upon himself so many injuries. He writes in his outline:
    All the great composers endured pain and suffering to fulfill their desire to create. And the results of their effort: timeless masterpieces!

SCP-3818 - Two Favours One

SCP-3836 - Grease Monkey And The Search For FAST

SCP-3836 is a sapient, animated gorilla corpse that has an obsession with going fast. It has the anomalous ability of modifying vehicles so they can go faster than they designed to, even though the modifications it makes shouldn't work at all.
  • Made of Iron: SCP-3836 will come out of any accident unhindered, even if it loses a lot of flesh from its body. Only its skeleton appears to be indestructible. It also appears that its safety goggles, overalls, and boots prevent the rest of its flesh from coming off.
  • Our Zombies Are Different: It's a zombie gorilla that runs on motor oil. It is also missing most of the flesh on the upper half of its body, yet it is still capable of normal tasks and modifying vehicles.
  • Rule of Cool: Aside from making them go fast, SCP-3836 likes tricking out its vehicles with things like barbed wire, stereo speakers, and confetti cannons.
  • Speed Demon: Everything it makes is meant for one purpose, to go fast.

SCP-3841 - Death & Rebirth

SCP-3847 - If only I could talk with birds

SCP-3847 is an area in China that allows people to perceive the vocalizations of birds as words of encouragement and comfort in their native language.
  • Talking Animal: Anyone who enters the SCP-affected area hears the vocalizations of birds and snakes in this manner. However, recordings of birds prove that this is only a change in human perception that causes this effect.
  • You Are Not Alone:
    • Some of the bird vocalizations (referred to as SCP-3847-1) tend to be along the lines of this:
    He will not be alone. It is with your help, and he appreciates that.
    Share your burden with me. I will understand.
    The machine will keep him happy, just like we will keep you happy.
    Time to study some scrolls. I will accompany you.
    Why not come join us in the field? We will sing for you.
    You don't have to feel lonely here. We are here for you, always will be.
    • Inverted with one snake vocalization (referred to as SCP-3847-2):
    You're very much alone. Just like he is now.

    3850- 3899 

SCP-3856 - Researcher Lloyd, Destroyer of Worlds

SCP-3856 is Foundation researcher Samuel Lloyd. He has been discovered to be immortal and is destined to be the last human to ever die. The downside to this fact is that, if Lloyd should sustain a fatal injury, a completely unrelated K-Class Scenario will wipe out humanity seconds before he dies.
  • Expendable Alternate Universe: Many (many) alternate-universe Foundations deal with their own Researcher Lloyd by deporting him to another universe, so his inevitable death will be that universe's problem instead. Dealing with all these Lloyds is rapidly becoming a major issue of para-universal politics.
  • Loophole Abuse:
    • The Foundation attempted to skirt the requirements by firing Lloyd, but it turns out that doesn't work.
    • One alt-universe Foundation did successfully neutralize Lloyd for several years by erasing him before he was born. Then that particular Foundation got a little carried away with "retrocausal containment", and wound up erasing the technology they used to erase Lloyd, which resulted in Lloyd (and the rest of humanity) dying in a global nuclear war.
  • Save This Person, Save the World: If Lloyd dies, the universe will take all of humanity along with him. At minimum.

SCP-3880 - ILLEST RAIN SOUNDS ∞ Hours No Looping - White Noise, Nature/Healing/Ambient, Meditation/Insomnia/Study ASMR [ORIGINAL]

SCP-3880 is a YouTube livestream titled ILLEST RAIN SOUNDS ∞ Hours No Looping - White Noise, Nature/Healing/Ambient, Meditation/Insomnia/Study ASMR [ORIGINAL] hosted by a being known as DJ Chaac. Whoever watches or listens to the stream will have their mood lightened and their energy and creativity rise.
  • A God Am I: DJ Chaac apparently sees himself to be this, describing himself as a literal storm god even though he's also claimed to be any other number of supernatural entities that could theoretically influence the rain.
  • Magitek: DJ Chaac is able to put what are essentially magic seals on his accounts to prevent them from being taken down.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When Chaac is contemplating the ramifications of the Three Portlands contractor taking his stream down, he briefly implies that his storms sustain at least a significant amount of land, making him one step away from being a Hiemal-class entity.
  • Obliviously Evil: Genuinely believes that his storms are there purely for others' enjoyment, despite the fact that his "party," tropical storm Calypso, killed people.
  • Reality Warper: DJ Chaac is an entity of unclear description who creates rainstorms to use as ASMR for YouTube streams.

SCP-3883 - Dildos Have Dreams Too

SCP-3883 is a neon green dildo in the shape of a tentacle. When viewed in a reflective surface, it appears as a tentacled creature that changes form depending on the surface. If someone enters REM sleep near the dildo, it will appear in their dreams as a monstrous creature that kills the dreamer, causing them to wake up. Despite this, 3883 has no actual malevolent intentions. An interview with 3883 revealed that it suffers very low self-esteem due to its nature as a sex toy, and uses the dreams of those nearby to live out its own dreams of being something powerful. As such, the Foundation has been boosting its mental health by offering D Classes to sleep next to it once a week.
  • The Mirror Shows Your True Self: Its "true self" changes depending on how it's reflected; a puddle of water shows an octopus, while a window shows a humanoid being. Notably, actual mirrors are the exception to this rule for SCP-3883.
  • I Just Want to Be Badass: Surely you'd prefer to be an Eldritch Horror cephalopod monster than a neon-green tentacle dildo.

SCP-3885 - The High-Octane Full-Throttle Adventures of the Exploding Zombie Gearheads

See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps.

SCP-3887 - Monster under the Bed

SCP-3887-A is Donna, a regular non-anomalous woman. The actual anomalous property surrounding her is SCP-3887-B. 3887-B is Grenda, a boogeyman-esque creature that has lived under Donna's bed since she was a child. Since she came from an abusive household, Donna gradually began to seek comfort from Grenda, with Grenda in turn being fiercely protective of her.
  • Abstract Eater: While SCP-3887-B can literally eat virtually anything, it seems to prefer subsisting on fear.
  • Domestic Abuse: The Foundation first discovered SCP-3887-A and B when SCP-3887-B publicly attacked SCP-3887-A's girlfriend, her girlfriend being emotionally manipulative and causing SCP-3887-A great stress.
  • The Empath: SCP-3887-B's temperament seems to be entirely reliant on SCP-3887-A's state of mind, SCP-3887-B being entirely docile to Foundation staff because SCP-3887-A remains entirely cooperative with them.
  • Horror Hunger: Her species subsists on fear and over time she'll need it, being unable to subsist on anything else. Subverted as Grenda specifically invokes this trope to intentionally frame her hunger as causing her to go berserk when she abducts the scientist interviewing her in order to stoke the fear of being Eaten Alive in her. Once she's milked as much as she can out of it, she just eats the poor woman's socks and almost sheepishly thanks her before letting her go.
  • Imaginary Friend: While SCP-3887-B, or "Grenda" as SCP-3887-A, liked to call her started out as her own personal boogeyman, SCP-3887-B would stay around and become a comforting figure to her. It wasn't until SCP-3887-B attacked her girlfriend and the Foundation coming to take both of them in did she find out that she wasn't just imagining the monster.
  • Non-Malicious Monster: While it will try to scare the Hell out of you, SCP-3887-B has no ill intentions towards people and can be very docile. Unless you threaten SCP-3887-A, in which case it will pick you up and throw you around like a cheap rag-doll.
  • Things That Go "Bump" in the Night: SCP-3887-B is an example of a polymorphic race of monsters that hides under the bed and frighten children.
  • Truth in Television: SCP-3887-A claims that when she had a fear of breasts when she was a child, hence why SCP-3887-B has prominent mammary glands. As silly as it sounds, Mastrophobia, or fear of breasts, is an actual fear present in some women.
  • Weakened by the Light: Bright lights can cause SCP-3887-B great pain, up to and including scalding their skin.

SCP-3899 - The Night Hauler

SCP-3899 is a tractor-trailer that only appears at night and can move at speeds of 430 km/h.
  • Big Badass Rig: The SCP is also unbelievably fast. (One woman who encountered it and got her car wrecked received $12,000 in compensation from its driver.)
  • Flashy Teleportation: It sometimes teleports and reappears accompanied by a cloud of smoke.
  • Meaningful Name: It can only appear between sunset and sunrise.

    3900- 3949 

SCP-3900 - The Internet of Things That Are Wolves

SCP-3900 is a series of wireless access points that are able to spread to nearby Wi-Fi-enabled devices. During a full moon, wolves will manifest around any device infected by 3900, and will disappear the following morning.
  • Lunacy: Objects (and people) affected by SCP-3900 spontaneously generate wolves around themselves whenever the full moon is above the horizon. The wolves disappear when the moon sets or the affected device is turned off.
  • No Ontological Inertia: Wolves generated by the SCP's effect cease to exist when the moon is below the horizon.
  • Russian Reversal: An affected D-class was instructed to bite a non-anomalous wolf. On the full moon, it began to spontaneously generate wireless routers around itself.
  • The Virus: SCP-3900 is an anomalous property transmitted between wi-fi hotspots when they overlap (sufficient shielding can prevent this). If a wolf generated by the effect bites someone, they begin to broadcast a wi-fi signal (and generate wolves) on the full moon.

SCP-3905 - Soda Can Island

SCP-3905 is a public trash can in Sacramento, California. If anyone throws an empty soda can into it, the can is transported to SCP-3905-A, a tropical island in the Philippines that functions as a heaven for animate soda cans, designated SCP-3905-B. They spend all of their time partying, drinking, dancing, and blasting music.
  • The Alcoholic: SCP-3905-B instances enjoy drinking what appears to be alcohol from a tube labeled "THE SWEET STUFF".
  • Fantastic Caste System: Well-known soda brand cans like Coke and Pepsi have a tendency to bully less popular or generic soda brand cans.
  • Take That!: Any diet or sugar-free soda can thrown into SCP-3905 lands in a pit labeled "DIET DOUCHEBAGS" and does not become animate.

SCP-3908 - SCP-3908

SCP-3908 is a man named Craig "Skip" Wattson. No one will unfortunately be able to explain that fact to anyone because Craig carries an anomalous property that prevents his name, appearance, and abilities from being directly referenced (even by himself), only able to be described as "SCP-3908".
  • Painting the Medium/Shaped Like Itself: SCP-3908 is SCP-3908. On account of his anomalous properties, he can't be directly referenced, even by himself. His real name is Craig "Skip" Wattson, he's a 40-year-old white man, and his anomalous property tends to anger him.
  • Rage Breaking Point: He's frequently angered whenever he tries to refer to himself, since it always comes out "SCP-3908 is SCP-3908", and as such he has to be restrained for the second interview.

SCP-3920 - 1st Midnight Howitzer Battery

  • Guardian Entity: The SCP fires its cannons at anyone intending to harm passersby within its range.

SCP-3922 - STOPRIGHTTHERECRIMINALSCUM!!!

SCP-3922 is a cylinder of a metallic alloy with the Three Moons Initiative's insignia engraved onto it. When the cylinder is placed close to a recording of fictional media, the media will be invaded by TMI operatives armed with futuristic military equipment. The operatives will attempt to stop all perceived wrongdoings within the chosen media, primarily through absurdly excessive amounts of force.
  • Ambiguous Situation: The original article does not state if SCP-3922 actually allows the TMI to pull fictional content upwards into the Foundation's reality, and several portrayals of Corbenic appear to be fictionalized rather than being filmed in the real deal. As such, it's unclear if any of the tests in the logs are actually happening, though Paulsen and Naismith understandably don't feel like trying to confirm or deny this.
  • Art Shift: If they enter an animated film, TV show, videogame, etc. they will appear in the style of whatever media they enter into.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: The SCP-3922-A instances fail to defeat Bobbles the Clown, the God Hand, Truth, Father Jack, the Globglogabgalab, Dan Backslide (who admittedly defeats himself), and Makima. They defeat every other villain though!
  • Berserk Button:
    • When it comes to horror movies with a certain Squick factor and Nausea Fuel invoked like Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom and The Human Centipede, SCP-3922-A tend to react much more brutally and aggressively than they usually do, putting the villains of those movies through either a far more agonizing Cruel and Unusual Death or even outright And I Must Scream. The fact that they even go as far as to make a red, threatening and far less motivating end screen for the movies during those times only emphasizes how much they hate such pieces of media. Hell, during their rampage of Human Centipede, they even went as far as to kill the creators of the movies, that's one of the reasons the foundation decided not to test SCP-3922 with A Serbian Film.
    • While not as extreme as some other examples, they also are not fond of rapist assholes - when used with part 1 of Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel, the first thing they do is beat Shinji Matou to death with steel folding chairs "while yelling various expletives directed at his incestuous and rapacious behavior."
  • Bittersweet Ending: The Godzilla (1954) test ends the same as the original movie; after heavy casualties, Dr. Serizawa is forced to use his oxygen destroyer and watch as Godzilla dies. It closes with a message that "Nature has no master. One of its creatures reminded us of that."
  • Butterfly of Doom: SCP-3922-A's inability to account for this forms the main horror of the HoloFunk 5.0.0 test, as their obsession with purging the plot's darkness for Aloe's sake causes them to inadvertently erase several more innocent lives and try to detain one more after emotionally coercing Amelia Watson into letting them use her Time Travel abilities.
  • Cerebus Roller Coaster: The extended logs shift back-and-forth between cathartic invoked and/or hilarious changes made to exposed media, and Dr. Naismith freaking out over the actual implications of the device. Especially when someone considered using it on SCP-2614 - you know, the one where the Foundation dug too deep into the narrative multiverse and found an inanimate personification of the demiurge?
  • Cold-Blooded Torture: After sniping the "masters" in Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom in the real world, SCP-3922-A instances stationed in Corbenic haul them away and place them into People Jars filled with a viscous solution that is apparently extremely painful. The article states that the film shows them in grotesque detail for eight hours, but in reality, they will be there for eternity, as Corbenic heals any and all wounds received.
  • Cutting the Knot:
    • When tested on Unedited Footage of a Bear, 3922 uses... an ad-blocker, which completely sidesteps the Claridryl ad that makes up the majority of the film's runtime.
    • The events of Kingdom Hearts coded (as the Re:coded DS port) are subverted by having the alternate Edgar from the rest of the Kingdom Hearts test install an antivirus onto the dataification device.
  • Deus ex Machina: SCP-3922-A instances effectively enforce this trope upon any media they interact with. Usually they succeed, but sometimes they are subject to The Worf Effect, or are told to let things play out without interference.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Apparently the researcher who tried to have SCP-3922-A fix the events of Chainsaw Man didn't consider the events of the manga which extend past the anime. This meant they were unaware that Makima is actually the Control Devil, and as such the TMI soldiers were put in a position where she could bring them under her control. This nearly allowed her to do something to the researchers actually watching the test that could have possibly given her control outside the anime, but luckily the Foundation was able to stop it by given the researchers Class-A amnestics.
  • Disproportionate Retribution:
    • Double Subverted: 3922's version of "The Ballad of Smokes McGee", featuring Foundation personnel smoking on-site against the rules, features TMI agents breaking into an SCP Foundation site cafeteria and having a shootout with site security... just to dispose of the cigarette and tell off Smokes McGee for smoking in a hazardous environment.
    • The HoloFunk 5.0.0 test very heavily implies they're on a manhunt for Narumi in such a way that she's being persecuted for pataphysical reasons, i.e. the nature of her existence, which as an individual isn't even her own fault. Botan is horrified enough by this to defy her masters and reduce the TMI's ability to find the unfortunate fox, stating (albeit very vaguely) that it should be very much possible to condemn and mend the consequences of someone's actions without kicking them while they're down.
  • Don't Try This at Home: A recorded playthrough of Pokémon Red resulted in Team Rocket being replaced by 3922-A instances who periodically remind the player to avoid behavior seen in the game, such as animal fighting and trespassing, in real life. Since they obey in-universe laws, they could only stop in-universe crimes (such as the ransacked house and the illegal Game Corner).
  • Empowered Badass Normal: While having access to bizarre technology and essentially being undead, SCP-3922-A instances are otherwise normal soldiers, albeit highly capable ones. However, when an episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean was exposed to SCP-3922, one SCP-3922-A instance confronted Pucci with a Stand of his own. The "eye catch" named it as Guns and Roses and naturally its stats were all A-rank. The context of the document suggests it had psychokinetic abilities, since it redirected a spear thrown by Jotaro Kujo to kill Pucci.
  • Equivalent Exchange:
    • Discussed in their attempt to interfere with both anime versions of Fullmetal Alchemist, where they learn that this trope won't allow them to fix anything unless they cause equal harm somewhere else.
    • Tests of Kingdom Hearts and Zootopia resulted in radically-altered narratives that, nonetheless, hit the same plot beats and progression as the originals; the former has a similarly-complicated Kudzu Plot where the TMI conflicts with Organization XIII, and the latter has a similar Conspiracy Thriller plot where the TMI replaces the ZPD.
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • A test with A Serbian Film is denied on the grounds that its horrific subject matter would be a hit below the belt and an insult to SCP-3922-A.
    • The HoloFunk 5.0.0 test has Botan defy the TMI to tear down a "WANTED" poster for Narumi backed by them, believing that she does not deserve their usual antics being thrown at her. Considering her charges are implied to be pataphysical in nature and thus completely out of her control, Botan's concern is largely justified.
    • When the HoloFunk test was repeated with 6.0.0 to test SCP-3922-A's reactions to a Retcon, something happens during "Killer Scream" that convinces the research team to abort the test immediately and delete the relevant chunk of footage to preserve the dignity of all major parties involved. Naismith then warns that SCP-3922 is not a tool for gossip, and that 3922-A's unusual response that implicitly suggested otherwise was due to exceptionally-poor timing outside of the research team's control.
  • Evil Is Not a Toy: Naismith's researchers occasionally need the reminder that every test with 3922 is potentially just giving a nastier and more overbearing version of the Foundation more weapons and personnel; while the Initiative isn't evil by any means, this is the same group that fervently vows to atone for the catastrophic failures of their previous homes and is suitably cynical and pragmatic. Because of this, there's a few ground rules for what 3922 needs to be kept away from:
    • Superweapons and artifacts of similar power are the first to go for obvious reasons.
    • Gods are next, since the Initiative's way of dealing with them is unpredictable, ranging from recruitment to total annihilation that bleeds into the real world regardless.
    • Alternate timelines and dimensions get tabled third, so as to not give the Initiative a free sphere of influence.
    • Media where the characters are open to working for the Initiative (and not just a local cell of 3922-A instances) is the fourth major no-go, as it gives them a free ticket to Corbenic and thus reality.
    • Carrying off the fourth condition above, any character which canonically has an awareness of the Fourth Wall (looking at you, Deadpool!) are forbidden, for the same reasoning above.
    • More generally, the fact that SCP-3922-A can fail or turn on even unambiguously-heroic protagonists over certain illegal acts shows that they are not always the solution to a conflict, since they're still humans that also obey the TMI's creeds of excess and occasional apathy.
    • Recently, a request for it to test it on the pilot of Hazbin Hotel was denied because it was feared that it would use Stolas' grimoire to access other worlds. Similarly, an attempt to test it on the trailer for Pibby was cancelled when it was feared that the Darkness might corrupt it.
  • Evil Is Petty: A darker side of SCP-3922-A manifests during the HoloFunk 5.0.0 test, where they are apparently hunting Narumi Midoriyama down due to drama surrounding her creator and the alleged nature of her existence. The problem is that not only was a lot of that drama settled a long time ago by accepting and condemning their consequences, SCP-3922-A had already exploited Amelia to "fix" the timeline in such a way that Narumi's story is likely mangled beyond recognition (meaning they cannot nab her on charges based on her canon past.note ) Thus, the TMI has marked Narumi for no other reason than to fulfill a grudge at the expense of her rights as an individual in the patasphere. When Botan notices a "WANTED" poster resulting from this, she tears it down immediately despite this version of her working for the TMI. After Aloe asks her why, she vaguely points out that while the actions & consequences of some people do deserve to be eternally scorned, that's hopefully not always true of the individuals themselves.
  • Expy: The SCP-3922-A instances kill the original Killer Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail using an expy of the Holy Hand Grenade.
  • Fix Fic: ZigZagged, It tries to be this for the most part, but sometimes it winds up arresting or killing those who had good intentions.
  • For Great Justice: "YOU ARE WATCHED - YOU ARE PROTECTED - YOU ARE LOVED"
  • The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You:
    • At times will go after the creators of the works: Batman: The Killing Joke eventually shows Alan Moore saying contrary to history the Joker isn't coming back from the dead, South Park leads to Trey and Matt impaled by SCP-2578-D, the director of The Human Centipede is executed...
    • At the same time, the Foundation also wants to prevent this trope from coming to fruition. Most notably by denying SCP-3922 access to Deadpool, as they explicitly stated that they don't want someone as insane as Wade Wilson, or the planetary destroyers known as the entire Dragon Ball cast. Funnily enough, invading Blazing Saddles caused Mel Brooks to show up on stage with a contract, signed by not just the TMI leaders but the Foundation's own O5 council that pretty much excludes any of his films from interference by 3922. He then dismisses SCP-3922-A and warns the Foundation, through the television, not to do it again.
  • Fun with Acronyms: The test with Mario Gets His PINGAS Stuck In The Door has the 3922-A instances announce the use of "Protocol November Golf Sierra," or "PNGS" ("PINGAS" with the vowels removed.)
  • Gainax Ending: A test of The LEGO Movie results in minifigures of 3922-A arresting Lord Business, followed by "real" 3922-A instances confiscating the Lord Business minifigure from The Man Upstairs, who "expresses extreme confusion" regarding these events. The test log notes that the original movie is just as confusing.
  • Genre Shift:
    • The 3922 version of "lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to" has an SCP-3922-A instance remind the girl in the video about the danger of prolonged work and the importance of resting, leading to her spending the rest of the video sleeping with rain, quiet snoring, and ambient nighttime noises playing, as if it switched to being a sleep-inducing ASMR Video.
    • Half-Life: Alyx goes from a VR First-Person Shooter to apparently being a more routine VR game a-la Job Simulator or Aperture Hand Lab when the Combine get taken away by TMI and Earth is left broken for the rest of humanity to repair.
  • Godzilla Threshold: In an attempt to use SCP-3922 to record a potential termination of SCP-682 (using video of a 682 containment breach dubbed with narration), 3922 spit out a 72-hour military Epic Movie, with named 3922 soldiers portrayed by notable deceased actors like Alan Rickman and Michael Clarke Duncan. The film ends in a Bolivian Army Ending with the 3922 instances largely failing in their assault, and Patrick Swayze summoning ''Corbenic Striders'' (which are noted as being upwards of three kilometers tall) as a Fade to Black and a card saying To Be Continued appears.
  • Good Is Not Nice: Although they mean well, some of their ways of dealing with villains only serve as a reminder that Initiative members themselves possess ageless immortality & a ridiculous Healing Factor and are therefore conditioned to rely on psychological trauma for effective shows of force. Some of their moral codes also show they're prepared to put the hurt on people who can't control their fates, or otherwise take a grudge way too far, They also have no problem with arresting heroes like Batman.
  • Historical In-Joke: Apparently, Goncharov was a real film. Then the Foundation and TMI accidentally summoned SCP-2747 by butting in at its climax, fulfilling the conditions for the Lady of Black Thorns' arrival. It's suggested, by extension, that every made-up work described like Goncharov is was devoured by SCP-2747 in the past.
  • Hostile Show Takeover: A (Mostly) benevolent example.
  • In Spite of a Nail: Sometimes, SCP-3922's intervention results in basically the same outcome as the original narrative:
    • Kung Fu Panda has them being told You Can't Fight Fate and allowing the Dragon Warrior to defeat Tai Lung on his own.
    • Godzilla (1954) still ends with the Big G killed by oxygen destroyer.
    • Die Hard has TMI soldiers show up to help John McClane when the LAPD refuses to cooperate, but Hans Gruber is able to convince the police that the TMI is a far-right militia, whittling down their numbers in such a way that the plot essentially plays like the original film with a few extra cast members.
    • Zigzagged with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The knights still get arrested, but they do so before the historian is killed (and he gets arrested too, if you’re curious).
    • Narratives are less likely to deviate from the original if the main characters are already employed by police agencies. Columbo has almost no changes besides giving the cast SCP-3922-A's looks and shooting all the suspects who get charged, and HoloFunk: The Adventures of Detective Fubuki only has the title character and her partner Mio getting TMI versions of their outfits (which the rest of the cast points out.)
    • They are unable to stop Chris Rock from making the joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's alopecia that got him slapped by Will Smith at the Academy Awards.
  • Insult to Rocks: They decided not to test SCP-3922 with A Serbian Film on the grounds that it would be an insult to SCP-3922.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: SCP-3922 is practically just this trope embodied. If a villain gets off scot free in the original work, they will cause this in the 3922 version, if not at least attempt to.
  • Kayfabe: When SCP-3922 is exposed to a recording of WCW Bash At The Beach 1996, the SCP-3922-A instances show up as pro wrestlers, and defeat the heels with standard wrestling moves.
  • Kick the Dog: Poor Peppino Spaghetti ends up having his journey rendered All for Nothing when SCP-3922-A brings out pretty much the exact same laser Pizzaface threatened him with to destroy his pizzeria over health code violations.
  • Kudzu Plot: 3922 being used on Kingdom Hearts results in a story even more complicated featuring the SCP-3922-A instances being made into characters from Final Fantasy games not touched on by the original games. One researcher theorizes that hypercomplexity is just that deeply entwined into the series' identity.
  • Loophole Abuse:
    • SCP-3922 doesn't work on video games, but it can enter recordings of video games.
    • Non-human civilizations are outside SCP-3922's jurisdiction (as shown in the test of The Lion King (1994)). However, humanity's interactions with said civilizations (such as in The Brave Little Toaster and Avatar) are not, and they still have jurisdiction in non-human societies if they're anthropomorphic enough (as seen in Zootopia and Kung Fu Panda, though in the latter they were thwarted by Oogway).
    • SCP-3922 only works on fictional media, and exposing it to recordings of real-life events doesn't do anything. However, if you superimpose a fictional narration over real-life footage, it will be accepted as being "fictional" and 3922-A will show up.
    • A recording of Toy Story 2 at a real movie theater altered the film's events, but a recording of Toy Story 2 in a set designed to look like a movie theater caused SCP-3922 to interrupt the recording, which they considered the fictional media.
  • Make an Example of Them: In their "improved" version of Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, SCP-3922-A torture the "masters" for eight hours. Then, instead of the usual SCP-3922 end card (reading "YOU ARE WATCHED - YOU ARE PROTECTED - YOU ARE LOVED"), the film ends with a red version of their sigil and the text, "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED".
  • Meaningful Name: The number is one digit away from SCP-2922, which refers to the main access point into Corbenic. This article reveals that the ☽☽☽ Initiative uses Corbenic as a base of operations (much to the dismay of the Bogal Mountain Prefecture.)
  • Might as Well Not Be in Prison at All: When the TMI intervenes with Mystery Science Theater 3000 and frees the Satellite of Love, Joel and the bots decline their offer to return to the Gizmonic Institute, as they enjoy riffing on movies even when not being forced to do so.
  • Moral Guardians:
    • The device alters the narrative of media it is placed next to to eliminate immoral behavior, further elaborating on the anti-war motives of the ☽☽☽ Initiative. After the mess the device made with Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, it's pretty clear they're extremely pissed about what kind of stuff the media's showing to people nowadays.
    • Interestingly, when exposed to a pornographic film, they do not actually stop any of the sexual activity, but simply stand guard to make sure it remains consensual.
    • They also leave The Lion King almost unaltered, save for a message in the credits stating that they had investigated the film and have found no instances of illegal hunting occurring.
  • New Powers as the Plot Demands: Literally. SCP-3922-A instances always carry a device that is extremely convenient to their current situation, assuming such a device is needed in the first place.
  • No Animals Were Harmed:
    • Unlike every other movie tested, The Lion King (1994) remains entirely unaltered save for a statement in the end credits announcing ☽☽☽ has confirmed that no illegal game hunting has occurred within the narrative.
    • The Room (2003) is unaltered other than a statement that no illegal slavery or cruelty towards a redacted species has occurred within the narrative. The tester speculates that this is either 3922 deliberately avoiding the film, or that it's something the Foundation doesn't want to know.
  • No Fourth Wall: SCP-3922 not only is fully aware that the Foundation is playing around with it (and goes along with the whole thing) but it's implied that the ☽☽☽ Initiative is actually using it to pull weapons, items, and possibly even superpowers from fictional works into Corbenic, which terrifies the Foundation because they may have accidentally handed them the Death Star.
  • "No. Just… No" Reaction:
    • Dr. Naismith has this reaction to the proposition of introducing 3922 to Deadpool, citing that introducing a character who is aware of the Fourth Wall to a group capable of invading the Fourth Wall is a recipe for disaster.
    • They also had this reaction to the mere idea of exposing 3922 to A Serbian Film. Considering how enraged they became at tamer movies such as Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom and The Human Centipede, they do NOT want to discover the sheer levels of wrath 3922 would unleash if ever becoming aware of that particular piece of media.
  • No-Sell:
    • The abstract narrative of La Jetée can't be breached.
    • Using it on Barney & Friends has SCP-3922-A refusing to do anything while also asking "Is the Foundation staffed by five year olds?"
    • The Lion King (1994) remains entirely unaltered due to non-human civilizations being outside SCP-3922's jurisdiction.
    • SCP-3922-A instances tried to alter the events of Kung Fu Panda, but Master Oogway thwarted them twice, citing You Can't Fight Fate. They gave up after the second attempt and the end credits message explicitly states "WE DO NOT CHANGE FATE. CARVE YOUR OWN PATH. ☽☽☽"
  • Nothing Is Scarier:
  • Noodle Incident: The description of the changes to "Killer Scream" in HoloFunk 6.0.0 are expunged past what had previously occurred in the test for version 5.0.0, implied to be the result of an inciting incident in the real world that transpired just as the test footage was being recorded. The research team agrees to scrub the segment, both to preserve everyone's dignity and to deter copycats from intentionally using SCP-3922 for gossip.
  • Off the Rails: In some cases, the SCP-3922-A instances intervene at the very start of a story, either ending it before it can begin (as in The Straight Story and Bioshock Infinite) or turning it into a completely different story about the ☽☽☽ Initiative spreading freedom and punishing the wicked (as in A Clockwork Orange and Nineteen Eighty-Four).
  • Pass the Popcorn: "Deaths Head Revisited", where a former Nazi is driven insane by visions of his victims at Dachau, has SCP-3922-A simply unfolding chairs and eating popcorn as they watch the Nazi's torment, and the final message is "THE TRIAL AND SENTENCING OF CAPTAIN GUNTHER LUTZE HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE ☽☽☽ INITIATIVE!"
  • Pet the Dog:
    • When exposed to The Binding of Isaac, their punishment for the mother is an effective (if grueling) regimen of psychotherapy, resulting in her recovering from her mental illness and happily reuniting with Isaac.
    • When exposed to an episode of Better Call Saul, they let Saul and the skateboarders go after he convinces them that the boys won't do anything bad for the rest of their lives out of fear, and that his attempt at embezzlement was meant to be like Robin Hood, and he was going to donate the money to charity.
    • Normally they show up as overpowered super-soldiers, but when put into a pro-wrestling show, the 3922-A troops dispense with the super-tech weaponry and fight the other wrestlers fairly with wrestling moves. They all win for the most part, but it's pretty clear that SCP-3922 was having fun with the whole thing. Similarly, an Epic Rap Battles of History video took the form of a good-natured rap battle, indicating that 3922 knows what parody is.
    • When exposed to Doki Doki Literature Club!, aside from deleting Monika they also give Sayori and Yuri psychological help and arrest Natsuki's dad for child abuse.
    • Their exposure to Danganronpa 3 essentially ends up being this doubled with Throw the Dog a Bone to Chiaki Nanami. The SCP-3922-A instances manage to guide her through the death maze via an earpiece and she’s soon able to make it out through a secret exit and reunite with her classmates, as well as implying she’ll be able to reunite with Hajime as well.
    • When exposed to the 1951 film version of A Christmas Carol, 3922-A instances are seen in the background, until at the end, when one of them gives Scrooge a letter explaining that, after observing that he has performed a legitimate Heel–Face Turn, they've called off his arrest.
    • When exposed to the MST3K episode Manos: the Hands of Fate, 3922-A instances take out Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank, offer to take Joel and the bots back to Earth, and acquiesce when the latter insist on continuing to riff the movie (especially when they have a chance to do it of their own free will, and not under duress).
    • When exposed to a recording of a several-hours-long Lo-Fi Hip-Hop Beats to Study to video, a 3922-A instance simply asks the character in the video to get some much-needed rest.
    • When used on The Princess Bride, SCP-3922-A decide to abstain from interfering on the grounds of not wanting to spoil a bonding moment between a grandfather and his sick grandson.
    • When exposed to HoloFunk, SCP-3922-A shutters all of the characters' criminal operations, but offers them generous grants to boost their more legitimate off-the-clock affairs. Also deconstructed when one of the instances attempts to save Aloe and the Dearests' other victims through Time Travel — they learn too late that in the flow of time, Kaede cannot exist if those people are to live happier lives.why does this matter?
    • In the same test, Botan tears off Narumi's TMI-sponsored "WANTED" poster despite having been converted into an SCP-3922-A instance, reasoning that while whatever she was accused of did happen and has consequences that need to be repaired, personally hounding her (especially with the TMI's trademark use of force) is not the answer.
    • When exposed to Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country, on top of 3922-A instances carrying out their usual law enforcement mission, The Stinger now shows one of them teaching Mythra how to cook properly.
    • Using it on 2835 has TMI agents attempting to get Paddy the Pelican some professional help. Sadly, Paddy seems to have no intention of cooperating.
    • When exposed to Lackadaisy, SCP-3922-A puts much less effort into dealing with the titular crew than would be expected of the setting for unknown reasons.
    • The end of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail test sees them give the animator some heart medicine instead of doing anything bad to him.
  • Rage Against the Author: SCP-3922-A will detain caricatures of creators if they think they deserve it and/or the setting allows it. Most cases are decently vile enough to make their use of force sympathetic, but at least one potential case is overblown enough that even a converted SCP-3922-A instance began to doubt it.
  • Recursive Reality: At one point, 3922 was tested recursively on itself: a film of Hitler blowing up the moon was the base, and subsequent versions were altered to recast the TMI as multiple other villainous factions who intend to steal the moon destroyer for themselves. Newly-added 3922-A instances took on different colors to distinguish themselves from each other, and eventually dropped a nuke on the film, followed by the text "SERIOUSLY, CUT IT OUT".
  • Refugee from TV Land:
    • Though SCP-3922-A has effectively replaced the occupations of certain characters in some fictional universes to no ill effect in reality (usually by taking over the local police department), they can also extend offers to work at the actual Three Moons Initiative back in Corbenic. As SCP-3922-A can move people and places to Corbenic without killing them, which in turn offers limited access back to the mortal plane of the real world, the only attempt by the instances to hire a character was immediately interrupted by the Foundation at the risk of the Initiative invoking this trope, but it remains unclear if this actively prevents recruitment. However, in some tests, it appears that SCP-3922-A doesn't need SCP-3922 to recruit fictional characters, as some agents that appear as SCP-3922-A instances are characters from different media, such as Cecil and Kain.
    • Dr. Naismith intercepts a request from Pataphysics clearly attempting to invoke this on episode 3 of holoweEN to try and get the previous Ninomae Ina'nis into the Foundation-verse for her talents. He sees through their pretense of simply offering a link to a world in the same situation as the Foundation's in terms of pataphysics and shuts it down immediately since it's obvious they either don't have a clear grasp of SCP-3922's workings or don't care and hope the authors will Hand Wave any complications (though it's implied whoever lodged the request just really, really wanted to bring Ina's avatar to life.)
  • Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies: The ending of the Recursive Reality test consisted of SCP-3922 dropping a nuke.
  • Running Gagged: The Recursive Reality tests ended with the Three Moons themselves cutting the tests short due to the increasingly confusing nature of the resulting films.
  • Sailor Earth: During the climax of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, a 3922-A instance helps take out the villain using their Stand, named "Guns N' Roses", for the manga's Musical Theme Naming after musicians and music.
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: The Pizza Tower test turns the game's story into one, ending with SCP-3922-A blowing up Peppino's pizzeria anyways instead of doing anything about Pizzaface or the tower due to health code violations.
  • Shoot the Dog: When a researcher tries to expose the SCP to Nightmare Shorts (part of the Sonic.exe: Nightmare Beginning universe), the test is rejected and the researcher reprimanded — because while Sark is undoubtedly a horrible person penned by an author with their own share of problems, making sure the TMI doesn't come into contact with someone with the power to erase the entire multiverse comes first.
  • Surreal Humor: What happened During a test with SMG4 video "Mario Gets His PINGAS Stuck In The Door", Deconstructed in that this resulted in 3922 being completely overwhelmed by the universe's randomness.
  • Teleportation: If a situation gets really hairy, like in A New Hope, SCP-3922-A instances will forcibly teleport their targets to Corbenic (from SCP-2922) and deal with them there. They're also well-aware that Corbenic is an afterlife and will exploit this to no end, as seen in the redacted changes made to Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom.
  • There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Par for the course with the ☽☽☽ Initiative's antics.
    • How do SCP-3922-A instances ensure a pornographic film stays consensual? With rocket launchers.
    • They enforce a health code violation of Peppino's Pizza using an orbital laser to obliterate the pizza joint.
  • This Means War!: A recent test with SCP-674 by using security camera footage for D-7294's holding unit resulted on a SCP-3922-A instance declaring the war to the Foundation in the name of the Three Moons Initiative for attempting to assassinate one of their agents, along a new message: "YOU'RE PROTECTED, BUT NOT LOVED. YOU WERE LUCKY THAT YOU ARE NOT WORTH IT."
  • Villain Has a Point: The Pizza Tower test essentially states Pizzaface was Right for the Wrong Reasons to go after Peppino; a pizzeria as indebted and dingy as his is likely to also be intolerably unhygienic.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: Apparently was made by examples of this trope, given how much they want to enforce pacifism and mutual respect for all people regardless of race, gender, and species, but really don't get moral ambiguity or healthier forms of cynicism at all.
  • What the Hell, Hero?:
    • When the Foundation exposes SCP-3922 to an episode of Barney the Dinosaur, the sole SCP-3922-A instance chews out the Foundation for wanting to see Barney vaporized.
    • Testing on Robots has Mel Brooks double down on the Blazing Saddles test, but it's mostly an excuse to ask the Foundation why exactly they still want to test the SCP in the first place after so long.
    • A researcher attempted to test SCP-3922 with SCP-674 by using footage of D-7294 (from the Trashfire) and attempting to kill SCP-3922-A. Everyone in the room was sniped by SCP-2578-D in the real world, and the monitor was allowed to play a military epic where the TMI declares war on the SCP Foundation unhindered. The accompanying note is just as long as the test itself and is an angry diatribe by Dr. Chair about how Rule of Cool is not an excuse to tamper with pataphysical anomalies without considering the consequences.
  • The Worf Effect:
    • The Foundation tries deploying SCP-3922 on an episode of SCP-993. It doesn't work: Bobble uses a slingshot to shoot out an instance of SCP-2578-D (one of the Initiative's starships which is used to carry out executions of tyrants), reverse-engineers it, and makes quick work of SCP-3922-A.
    • SCP-3922-A instances can't get into experimental films like La Jetée... yet.
    • El Santo is the only pro wrestler to defeat an SCP-3922-A instance in the ring.
    • They have no idea what to do in a video of a man smoking marijuana in California on a date where the consumption recreational marijuana was legal under state law, but illegal under federal law. They end up informing him that littering is illegal in California, and tell him to make sure to dispose of the blunt in the proper receptacles after making sure it is extinguished.
    • Saul Goodman is able to talk them down in an episode of Better Call Saul, and evades their attempt to capture him in Breaking Bad.
    • During an unauthorized test using a fan-made Berserk film, the God Hand are able to decimate SCP-3922-A, leaving a single, disheveled soldier, who, after failing to arrest Guts, decides to join him on his quest. Handwaved as being due to God Hand being Reality Warpers.
    • Their test on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood fails due to that universe having a strict law of exchange, meaning that if they prevent harm from occurring, something equally bad would happen elsewhere.
    • Their test on Blazing Saddles fails due to Mel Brooks showing up and showing the SCP-3922-A instances a contract preventing them from modifying his films. The contract was signed by the O5 despite none of the members having any memory of doing so. The Foundation wisely decided not to push their luck.
    • Testing in The Dover Boys caused one instance to freeze in place when the old man passes through the screen, thus being unable to prevent Dan Backslide from kidnapping Dora. Thankfully, the rest of the narrative proceeds in a similar manner to the original. The instance resumed movement at the very end, when the narrator says “So, you gonna move buddy?”, causing it to face the camera, nod, and walk off in the same manner as the old man.
    • Testing it on an episode of Father Ted resulted in the SCP-3922-A instances getting their asses royally handed to them by Father Jack. The now three-hour-long episode ended with an SCP-3922-A instance trying to confiscate Father Jack's alcohol, only for an enraged Father Jack to smash the door down.
    • Testing on Die Hard sees Hans Gruber trick the LAPD into thinking SCP-3922-A instances are a far-right militia, leading to them fighting law enforcement for long enough that the overall plot of the film still proceeds akin to the unmodified version.
    • Testing on Godzilla (1954) has the Big G completely trounce 3922-A, leading to the original ending (death by oxygen destroyer).
    • Testing on the SMG4 video "Mario Gets His PINGAS Stuck In The Door" results in 3922 being completely overwhelmed by the universe's randomness—once the aliens start shooting doors that latch onto people's penises, they give up the whole thing as a lost cause.
  • You Can't Fight Fate:
    • SCP-3922-A's attempts to alter Kung Fu Panda are thwarted by Master Oogway, who cites this trope.
    • They're hit with this in both versions of Fullmetal Alchemist as well; their attempts to save Nina Tucker are circumvented by Truth, who tells them that the Laws of Equivalent Exchange that govern the FMA universe are so strict as to render their efforts pointless—if they really want to save Nina, they'd have to cause equal suffering somewhere else.
  • You Don't Want to Know: In response to 3922's "review" of The Room and finding that "NO ILLEGAL SLAVERY OR OTHER CRUELTY TOWARD [5/3922 Clearance Required]LINGS HAS BEEN DETECTED", the reviewing doctor surmises that either this trope is in effect, or 3922 was essentially trying its damnedest to sidestep having to physically interact with the film.

SCP-3930 - The Pattern Screamer

Pattern Screamers are a race of conceptual "non-beings"; sentient paradoxes that have been left behind from the destruction of a previous universe. While they are normally trapped inbetween universes, they can be directly observed through SCP-3930, a spatial anomaly in Russia that causes anyone who walks into it to cease existing. This is vital for the Pattern Screamers, as they draw power from being directly observed. Pattern Screamers are also viciously hostile, willing to do whatever it takes to stop existing and end the agony that comes with being a paradox.
  • Alien Geometries: At first, the patterns the mind invents to cover up the nonexistent space that is SCP-3930 are quite consistent with themselves. But as things proceed, and more and more needs to be made up, the mind can't quite keep up and starts screwing it up, leading to curtains behind curtains behind curtains all the way to the back, doors that disappear to leave just a window, and generally inconsistent dimensions. It's mostly noticeable when taxed, such as someone going into the void and stopping existing entirely, forcing the brain to come up with the entire expedition that comes afterwards, with the inconsistent geometries that happen then being partly because they're expected, and partly because the brain simply made a mistake. And perhaps, partly, because there was some lingering thought from another source that influenced it too.
  • And I Must Scream: A living paradox, brought into existence by brains that couldn't handle something that doesn't exist and overwriting it with their own invented perceptions which piled up until they formed something that can sort-of exist, can think, and can understand it shouldn't be, yet it is and is not at the same time, made by something that exists without any of these problems. Life as a living paradox like this is horrifying enough to this clump of thought given ambiguous form that it suffers, it screams, and more importantly it hates. Existence is pain to a Pattern Screamer, and it will lash out towards those who made it be until it stops.
  • Cessation of Existence: The fate of those who walk into the anomaly is being erased from existence.
  • Deader than Dead: While not stated explicitly this is the nature of those who walked into the anomaly, which is why it works to contain it. After all, you have to exist to be dead, and the people that entered the void don't.
  • Eldritch Abomination: Pattern Screamers are perfectly happy not existing, in a way that implies there is something there to not exist. And when human thought makes them exist, they take their form from the lingering inventions humans superimpose over this void, the equivalent of creating something from the "shapes" you see in clouds without actually making them from the clouds themselves, as well as the contradictions between these perceptions as the brain struggles to keep inventing things that make sense to cover this reality with. Born from what happens when complete inventions to cover literal nonexistence start piling up where that nonexistence begins, until they're complex enough to think, and realize what they are: Something that doesn't exist, but now does too, made from thoughts of things that don't really exist meeting actual, perfect nonexistence. It's all terribly confusing, when it comes to true nonexistence. Now imagine this confusion, this paradox, being what made you. This is what fills them with hatred, both of existing themselves and of us, because not only did we make them, we actually exist properly.
  • Eldritch Location: SCP-3930 itself. It's nothing. As in, literally nothing. A "space" that isn't really a space, where nothing exists at all. Nothing emitted or absorbed, nothing coming out or going in, nothing moving or being still, no energy, no matter. No size. No shape. Nothing. And anything going in will stop existing the moment it does, becoming nothing. Perfectly comprehensible in paper, but the mind is a little too good in finding patterns when there's nothing, and thus it invents something to fill it up, some more Russian wilderness to match the one that surrounds it, maybe a building too. And it can't handle someone walking in and stopping existing completely, so it just makes up what happens next following along with what it thinks will happen, until interrupted or the fantasy can come to a neat end that makes sense. Perfect nothingness is quite natural by the universe's standards, it's what all reality stands on, but for a mind used to existence it makes no sense at all, and it prefers something that does. And where nothing and something meet, right at the edge of this void, these things minds invent tend to accumulate, and the only way to get rid of these stray thoughts before they merge into something worse is to send those who thought them into the void, to stop existing too.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: SCP-3930's consciousness is apparently unaware that sufficient existence stops being painful at some point for its kind, which makes it particularly dangerous on a cosmic level compared to Josephus Blake and SCP-6930, two Pattern Screamers who have been fully brought into existence.
  • Mind Screw: The ambiguously existent nature of these things, and the difficulty of really understanding what true nothingness really is, and what it really means for something to not exist in any way, makes it quite difficult to write about it all. In Layman's Terms, these things are weird.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: It is the total opposite of its older "sister" SCP-6930; while 6930 intentionally obtained existence after learning things get better for its kind when this happens, ran away from Usinsk, and developed a kind and loving personality, 3930 wants to remain non-existent in the forest and opposes anyone that tries to change that to the point of misanthropy and possibly ending the world if it goes too far.
  • Soviet Superscience: It's unknown if the Soviets simply found this Perfect Nothing there, in the middle of the Russian wilderness, or somehow managed to bring it there, but they were the ones in charge of the site before the Soviet Union came apart, and it was all handed to the Foundation. SCP-6930 suggests it was the product of a Noodle Incident surrounding the Soviet researchers that also allowed 6930 to escape Usinsk, leaving its "brother" 3930 alone to stew in its own hatred within the forest.
  • Tortured Monster: All a Pattern Screamer really wants to do is stop existing, and perhaps get back at those existing things that made it exist in the first place. And if the only way to do so is to drag them screaming into the void to force them to disappear, so be it.
  • Void Between the Worlds: Or rather, beneath the worlds. According to the author, this sort of absolute nothingness is the basest form of reality, upon which every higher form sits. SCP-3930 is simply a chunk of it that was somehow left completely barren of anything at all.
  • You Cannot Grasp the True Form: The mind cannot grasp literal nothingness, and so it overwrites it with patterns taken from what it known, and what surrounds it. Even in electronic depictions, such as cameras, photos and recordings, it will invent what it sees when the equipment is clearly showing absolutely nothing. It will even invent people wholesale if they walk into this nothingness and cease to exist suddenly, with their subsequent actions and words, right until "perception" stops and this "shadow" is gone, because the brain stopped making it up.note  And in inventing these things from whole cloth, they tend to linger in the border between this nothing and the rest; too many of them lingering, and a Pattern Screamer can be born.

SCP-3933 - Bigger Than God

SCP-3933 is "Toxic Soul", a song by a once-wildly popular Hair Metal band known as Tyrannosaurus Flex. The song induces anomalous effects in those who listen to it, causing them to lose all knowledge and perception of the band and its members, forgetting that Tyrannosaurus Flex ever existed.
  • A God Am I: The four musicians making up Tyrannosaurus Flex thought they were like gods. They didn't realize gods can be forgotten.
  • Bigger Than Jesus: The band's frontman is quoted as saying that if the Beatles are bigger than Jesus, then Tyrannosaurus Flex is bigger than God.
  • Fate Worse than Death: Tyrannosaurus Flex, who were even bigger than the Beatles, are retconned and unpersoned from human history by their own magnum opus. Their last act in public was accidentally sparking a massive, bloody riot due to mass amnesia. They spend the rest of their lives in Foundation custody, forbidden from seeing each other or having access to musical instruments.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: "Toxic Soul" is an anomalous song that permanently retcons Tyrannosaurus Flex from the listener's mind.
  • Perception Filter: Anyone who hears the song can no longer percieve the band members or their actions. For example, a band member moving an object from Point A to Point B will appear to an affected person as the object teleporting, vanishing upon being picked up and reappearing upon being put down.
  • Tempting Fate: Before the band recorded "Toxic Soul", one of the bandmates asked the others if they ever wished they could to go back to being "nobodies" who could walk down the street in peace without being instantly recognized and chased by hordes of screaming fans.
  • Unperson: Anyone who listens to "Toxic Soul" can no longer remember or learn about Tyrannosaurus Flex or its musicians. Their own parents, who heard the song, can't even remember having children.

SCP-3935 - This Thing a Quiet Madness Made

SCP-3935 is the local high school of Salvation, Indiana. It became flooded with a series of paranormal events that occurred in and around the building. The anomalous happenings got so bad that the entire town of Salvation was evacuated and walled off so that only Foundation personnel can enter it.
  • And I Must Scream: If "forever damned to wander" is taken literally, it may imply that anyone who enters Salvation will be eternally trapped.
  • Arc Number: The number nine and multiples of it appear throughout. For example, there are a total of ten cheerleaders in one of the attached photos; nine are standing and one is seated on the ground. There are also nine women floating in midair, along with a backyard containing nine "[DATA EXPUNGED]" (probably gibbets used to hang those women). Also, a team of eleven contractors were sent to investigate the school's structural damage, but nine of them didn't return.
  • The Blank: A lot of the Humanoid Abominations that appear are described as lacking a face. Even the cheerleaders in the aforementioned photo are faceless (although their faces might have simply been blurred out for their privacy).
  • Eldritch Location: The town of Salvation, Illinois is itself a hazard zone where various anomalous events occur.
  • The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Stay on the page long enough and you'll hear a voice whisper, "Hello."
  • Ghost Town: The anomalous activity got so bad that the entire town was evacuated and only disposable D-class personnel are allowed within its perimeter. Oddly enough, a lot of the anomalous activity could best be described as actual hauntings, making it a literal Ghost Town.
  • Hellgate: What may be the source of the anomalies is an arch located beneath the sub-basement under Salvation High School with a phrase etched into it.
    The way below winds deeper, longer,
    unspeakable its patterns laid.
    The lost forever damned to wander
    this thing a quiet madness made.
  • Jump Scare: If one lingers on the page long enough, you'll hear a mysterious voice say "Hello."
  • Madness Mantra: The word "Hello" comes up a lot, with certain ghost sightings having them say "Hello", to audible hallucinations of the word, Mrs. Fletcher saying "Hello" multiple times throughout her interview and claiming to have known a pregnant teenager who lost the ability to say anything other than that word.
  • Our Ghosts Are Different: The various Humanoid Abominations that appear in Salvation come in a wide variety of forms, but a lot of them tend to float around, are intangible, tend to flick in and out and are shadow-like in appearance. A lot of the other anomalous activities that happen also follow the characteristics of a textbook haunting, including objects floating (including an entire high school), audible hallucinations, hair appearing in-place of running water, possession, etc.
  • Teenage Pregnancy: If Mrs. Fletcher's interview is any indication, the events began after this happened to one of the cheerleaders at the school (the one sitting on the ground in that photo).
  • Underground City: Under the school's sub-basement is a stone-replica of that school which seem to be haunted by a group of white-haired anomalous women. Beneath that school is another sub-basement with its own replica school and so on and so on.
  • Unreliable Narrator: The only interview given in the file is one given by Mrs. Fletcher, a teacher from the high school. Unfortunately, the amnestics the UIU used on the town's inhabitants were highly toxic and caused severe, permanent brain damage, so it's safe to say that she isn't an ideal source of information.
    Mrs. Fletcher: Well... it was quiet, you know. One road in and one road out. We didn't get many outsiders, so we were a pretty tight knit community. I don't even think we had police, you know, because who would need them? We didn't have crime, not really. [Beat] There were always some people who would tell stories, you know. They...
    Agent Aimes: Yes?
    Mrs. Fletcher: What? Hello? Hello?
    Agent Aimes: You were just talking about people telling stories, Mrs. Fletcher.
  • Weirdness Censor: It is brought up multiple times that in spite of many of the unbelievable and horrifying things that happen - usually in broad daylight with enough people seeing them - people tend to shrug it off and act like it was no big deal no matter how scary it seems, often chalking it up as a prank of some kind. The only exception to this is in the UIU's file, where on Thursday, everyone sees nine women floating at an angle in midair and are whipped into a panic at the sight of it. Whether this is a result of some memetic anomaly or if the townsfolk are in denial is anyone's guess.

SCP-3936 - Working as Intended

SCP-3936 is Exclusionary Site-01, a Foundation installation constructed to archive sensitive data and protect it and everyone in the installation from any retroactive alterations, making it immune to CK-Class Restructuring Events.
  • Driven to Suicide: Everyone in the facility committed suicide when they realized that they are the only humans left on Earth after a CK-class restructuring event happened.
  • Expospeak Gag: The article describes the personnel's corpses in the facility as if they were alien despite them actually being human.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: The alien personnel as they're being described post-mortem are said to taste like physical pork. Another hint that they are actually humans and the Foundation as it exists in the article are not.

UNDEFINED - Containment Chamber #3942

SCP-3942 is an anomalous containment cell that is inhabited by an anti-meme, causing everyone to forget what it is. The few who managed to find out what it was either went insane or died.

    3950- 3999 

SCP-3959 - The End of All Knowledge

SCP-3959 is a cognitohazardous infovore that seeks out various mediums of information and feeds on them. Any medium that it feeds on will have the information it stored be rendered irretrievable, usually in the form of redactions.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: Those who interact with media that SCP-3959 infests will experience memory fogginess and confusion unless they have a resistance to cognitohazards. After being enhanced by Project Callisto, SCP-3959 can now erase all the memories of any human being it infects, the end result resembling Alzheimer's diease. In addition, any information it consumes now will be erased from every copy it is kept in, no matter the medium, and will erase every memory everyone has of that information.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In the Foundation's attempts to weaponize SCP-3959 to combat other cognitohazards and infohazards, they managed to make it an uncontrollable danger to the entire world as it can now hop between sentient beings during its search for the SCP-3959-1, the book of the complete history of the human race.

SCP-3963 - I Contain Multitudes

SCP-3963 is a pendant that causes anyone who touches it to be transported to an extradimensional location. In actuality, it transports them inside the internal organs of someone else.
  • The Disembodied: It is a pendant that, when touched, teleports the current subject to a seemingly extradimensional location, though they can still be heard and spoken to for a short while, at least until the next person touches the pendant...
  • Chest Burster: The pendant actually transports each person to an oversized version of the previous subject's spleen or brain or whatever, while a miniaturized "Camazotz" demon is teleported into one of the current subject's organs. When the pendant is accidentally broken, the first person to touch SCP-3963 (a Mayan nobleman) appears, only to die when a female archaeologist bursts out of his chest. Then her male colleague's corpse bursts out of her stomach, killing her. Then all the succeeding subjects burst out nesting-doll-style, right down to the demon.
  • Demonic Possession: The author states that it was an amulet designed for causing this (specifically, the demon possessing the Mayan), except that its creation went very, very wrong.
  • Bat People: The "Camazotz" demon that bursts out of D-963-W's body is one of these.
  • Womb Level: What each extradimensional location is. It's always somewhere in the body of the last person to touch the amulet. First was the Mayan nobleman; the author states that he was probably transported into the amulet itself. The first archaeologist was teleported to the Mayan's chest, while the second archaeologist was in the first's stomach. Agent Castillo was in the second archaeologist's intestine, D-963-Z was in either Castillo's heart or one of his lungs, D-963-Y was in Z's colon, D-963-X was in Y's genital area, D-963-W was in X's brain, and the demon was in W's body.
  • Running Gag: Poor Dr. Asheworth is repeatedly injured when the amulet gets broken.

SCP-3966 - Falling Out

SCP-3966 are the webs of hyperdimensional spiders that resemble proteins found in the human nervous system. The spiders make these webs as an attempt to harvest the nerve cells of sleeping humans.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: The root cause of SCP-3966 is the webs of a species of spider operating in the fourth dimension.
  • Foreshadowing: The nightmares those infected with SCP-3966-A have are full of spiders.
  • Red Herring: When multiple researchers start mentioning similar nightmares, the Foundation immediately suspects some sort of memetic hazard may be involved. They couldn't be further from the truth.
  • Shout-Out: Flatland is mentioned as a means of explaining how we would perceive a 4-D entity.
  • Shown Their Work: The author includes quite a bit of detail about neuroscience and Quaternions in the article.

SCP-3972 - "Ken Burns Presents: SCP-3972"

SCP-3972 is Vytas Andressen, a Foundation administrator who disappeared in 2017. Any and all photographs and biographical information regarding Andressen serves as an infohazard that induces nausea and swelling of the lymph nodes in Foundation staff. The only way to safely document 3972 is a documentary made by Foundation researcher Alyx Romana, who must update the film whenever new information is discovered.
  • Brown Note: Photographic images and biographical information of a former Foundation member is an infohazard causing acute nausea and swelling of the lymph nodes in fellow Foundation staff. Aside from when seen from the non-anomalous video.
  • The Ken Burns Effect: Given the article name, of course it shows up in the required documentary!
  • Painting the Medium: Records of the anomaly somehow are only non-anomalous if a video with some very specific guidelines is made.
