SCP-4001 - Alexandria Eternal

• Everyone Has Standards:
  • Try as the Foundation might, the library absolutely will not create new life, nor will it resurrect a lost life long enough for either to matter. Trying to pressure it into doing so anyways apparently has catastrophic results. This also happens to be partially why Homo nobilis had to go; there was simply no way civilization could be brought back per these rules without just making the situation worse.
  • Experiments involving terminating a person's life were immediately forbidden by the Foundation team assigned to the library after the first round of testing. The library itself expressed contempt over the amoral researcher in charge of experimenting on D-Class with their books.
• Genius Loci: Its last custodian prior to the Foundation refers to the library as a she, and the Foundation research in charge of the facility remarks on its tone in chronicling each of their lives - notably, the library is surprisingly benevolent and moral, as it expressed contempt for an amoral former member of the Foundation team stationed there while treating the two AI constructs built to act as its librarians kindly. They even get books of their own in the library, with added notes pointing out the callousness of the AI being removed from the library to test said books' contents.
• Gender Bender: One D-class had his gender at birth changed in his book to female. Following the change, he couldn't remember being born male and his body briefly flickered in and out of existence before they gained female sexual characteristics, but he did later identify as a transgender man, and requested reassignment surgery.
• Great Big Library of Everything: It's an enormous library buried beneath the famous Library of Alexandria. Stretching for many kilometers in length, it contains the chronicles of every human being that has ever existed in its books, which are written in an unidentifiable language that's still comprehensible to everyone that reads it. The Foundation estimate that there is no less than 120 billion books contained in the library representing the grand total of every human in history, with hundreds more being created every minute and an unknown number already destroyed.
• In Spite of a Nail: The article mentions a "Schmidt-Luhrmann effect," an inverse of the Butterfly of Doom that suggests changing the past to prevent certain events often has the new timeline simply play them out under different circumstances to avoid severe consequences, while discussing how the library affects history when books are changed. This is most apparent when the Foundation tries to create and resurrect life, as the library instantly kills the person again in a negligible time period and sometimes says they deserve it. The result of forcing it to do otherwise was redacted, but apparently wrecked a Foundation site.
• Ragnarök Proofing: It survived the nuclear war that ended the Homo nobilis civilization 75,000 years ago.
• Reality-Writing Book: Any action or changes of fate written in each book becomes reality to the person it chronicles.
• Really 700 Years Old: Its last custodian - designated SCP-4001-1 - was a man left inside it when the Library of Alexandria was burned down by the Romans. Until the Foundation discovered it centuries later, the custodian - who called himself the Watcher of Alexandria Eternal - kept himself alive by writing in his scroll. The Foundation granted him his last wish of seeing the sunrise for the first time in centuries before he passed away.
• Ret-Gone: The fate of people who get their books destroyed, or the first pages torn out. The library asked the last Watcher from the Homo nobilis civilization to burn the entire collection of books so that the damage from their nuclear war could be undone, which resulted in them being wiped from reality.
• Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: The library seems to be capable of remembering events that were erased from history by altering its books, but to what extent is something Depending on the Writer. In "Alexandria Burning," it seemingly only remembers the Homo nobilis watcher that had to burn the records of their civilization, while in Project Isorropia, it remembers all of Project LETHE and SCP-3002 down to the letter after the two are erased, and consequently chews the Foundation out for it while giving Iris/Lily special treatment as a new watcher.
• Time Abyss: The oldest books in the library date back to around 75,000 years ago, around the Toba eruption. An untold number had been burnt before, shrouding its true origins.

SCP-4002 - The Black Moon Howls From Beyond The Edge Of Time

• Deal with the Devil: Well, more like a deal with an Eldritch Abomination that exists outside time, but the deal between Etana and the Black Moon all but states that in order to allow Etana to have a child to continue his empire, all beings on Earth would give up their special natures, what the Foundation would later refer to as anomalies. The increasing appearance of anomalous objects being a sign that this deal is about to end, which would end up shattering the consensus reality.
• The Magic Comes Back: What the deal expiring would result in, where beings of the world would regain their anomalous nature. However, this isn't exactly a good thing (from the Foundation's perspective, at least), as the current consensus reality has been based off of the general lack of anomalies. The deal is almost reaching its end, as evidenced by the increasing number of SCP objects.
• The Magic Goes Away: What Etana had to have humanity sacrifice, causing the lifespan of humans to greatly decrease, the animals rendered silent, and divine beings faded from the world.
• Prophecy Twist: While Etana was able to avert the city of Kish mourning the lack of a king as seen in his dream, Kish ended up morning anyway due to the peoples' lives greatly shortening and what made their world special fading away because of Etana's deal.

SCP-4004 - A Dream Come True

• Anthropomorphic Personification: Built to be some sort of protective totem for the United States of America, and in particular is using the corpse of Joshua Norton, self-proclaimed Emperor of America, as its spokesman.
• Blood Magic: The daily materials needed to maintain it include 3 liters of human blood, plus 40 mL specifically from the sitting president.
• Rube Goldberg Machine: Aside from Norton it's composed of a variety of materials scattered across the country including a carved bone figure, a modified nuclear bomb, a spacetime anomaly, a cotton plant that feeds on blood, a giant centipede made from coal and oil, the corpses of 811 Korean war veterans that secrete barbecue sauce, and Mount friggin Rushmore.
• Turned Against Their Masters: Has expressed dissatisfaction with how America is run of late, after 9/11 it demanded a meeting with George W. Bush and told him that it would destroy this country rather than see it continue to inflict such misery on its' own people and the world. And on August 21st, 2020 it delivered an ultimatum to dissolve the federal government immediately.

SCP-4006 - #MassaTruthetts

• Contrived Coincidence: SCP-4006 is an elaborate and incredibly unlikely series of coincidences that have led to the false belief that the area called Massachusetts is inhabited. The Foundation is extremely interested in keeping this phenomenon going because it may very well be the same phenomenon that's kept the Foundation from being discovered all these years.
• Fake–Real Turn: SCP-4006 makes people believe that the uninhabited area known as Massachusetts is a fully-functional American state. Thanks to Foundation activities and study of the area, so many sites, fake cities, airports, roads, businesses, and other locations were established that regular people stared moving in. With the implementation of Project-4006-109, Massachusetts effectively became a real state.
• Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: SCP-4006 might be a real phenomena that's helped keep The Masquerade going, or it might not exist and the Foundation has just been ridiculously lucky in their mission.
• Perception Filter: One of the effects of SCP-4006 leads people to believe they're visiting cities in Massachusetts like Boston and Springfield, complete with knowledge and awareness of their supposed landmarks, when they're actually in cities in surrounding states like New York or Pennsylvania. Any attempt to question people about these non-existent cities will always lead to them meeting other people affected by SCP-4006 who think they're in the same place.

SCP-4007 - Kagemusha

• The Assimilator: SCP-4007 was created by vivisecting anomalous humanoids and implanting parts of their bodies into volunteers. SCP-4007-4 is using this process to acquire the powers of his former compatriots with the Foundation's unwitting assistance.
• Greater-Scope Villain: SCP-4007 is severing a a seal to one. All that's known about it is it's likely massive enough to require a nation-sized seal, it took down an entire Japanese fleet, and is so horrible Japan would sooner lose WWII rather than let "him" escape.
• Outside-Context Problem: SCP-4007-4's memory removal abilities are so much more subtile and precise than the mind effecting things the Foundation normally deal with it slipped their notice for nearly 60 years.
• Power Misidentification: SCP-4007-4's seeming invisibility was actually an amnestic effect, editing himself from memory along with anything else they desired, such as the Foundations attempts to investigate.
• Token Good Teammate: Unlike the other instances, SCP-4007-4 has been overall cooperative with the Foundation, providing them with information regarding himself and his companions. Subverted with the revelation that he's been spying on and lying to the Foundation to use it in carrying out his own agenda.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: SCP-4007-4 is trying to free whatever SCP-4007 is sealing believing it's the best chance to stop it before it becomes powerful enough to break out on it's own, even if he has to regretfully kill his brothers in arms when they object.

SCP-4012 - Than Teach Ten Thousand Stars How Not to Dance

SCP-4012 is a parallel universe accessed through a fenced-off region in Maine. Beyond a threshold of 135 meters past the entrance, the world changes for each visitor and exerts an extremely powerful memetic influence; it is implied to be a personification of nihilism and atonement.

---

• The Atoner:
  • People who witness someone cross the threshold are memetically compelled to recall their greatest sins, with equal regret. It's crushing enough that Brakstein is implied to kill himself after being subject to this.
  • The effect is so powerful that when exposed to SCP-3935 in Project Isorropia, its effects (born out of the weight of the town's sins and regrets, both real and alleged) were immediately consumed by the same elements of cosmology and surreality that make up SCP-4012's Gainax Ending.
• Driven to Suicide: Brakstein is mentioned to have died sometime after the test. Given how utterly crushed he is in the ending, it's heavily implied he committed suicide, and by extension this also means the strange visions in the forest were real.
• Gainax Ending: After D-112 ends his "life" in 4012, he goes to a dock (implied to be the page image) and looks towards a vaguely-Alien Sky. His optic implant rips itself out of his eye and soars towards the cosmos, encountering a handful of surreality-related SCPs as the universe seemingly experiences heat death in a strangely-beautiful scene of cosmology. Then the implant anti-climatically falls onto the ground near the exit from 4012.
• Mind Screw: Despite the automated flagging, it's impossible to tell what's really happening and what isn't. Downplayed, in that the mention of Command being dead at the end very strongly implies that the article's events are most certainly real to some extent, it's just unintelligible.
• Purple Prose: Corrupted portions of the article are unusually eloquent in description for the Foundation.
• Real After All: If Brakstein's confessions and D-112's bizarre experiences in the forest are just memetic forgeries, why'd Brakstein kill himself?
• Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: SCP-4012 is, at its core, a very... dour view of human civilization through an alien lens, painting it as meaningless and repetitive.

SCP-4016 - Of Mice and Twine

• Animate Inanimate Object: It's a figure made out of twine that is somehow alive.
• Heroic BSoD: The poor thing enters one once it realizes that the Foundation researcher that discovered it can't bring its friends back to life after the mice killed them.
• Serial Killer: Of mice. It and its friends were able to kill roughly 50 mice by the time it was discovered, by which point its friends had been killed by the mice.
• Shout-Out: The SCP's name is a nod to Of Mice and Men.
• Sympathetic Murderer: Despite being a Serial Killer of mice, it's all but stated that the SCP was originally created by a Type Green so as to help protect her from her allergy towards mice.

SCP-4028 - La Historia de Don Quixote de la Mancha

See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps.

SCP-4035 - Prey on Words

• Fog Feet: SCP-4035-1 has no legs, instead as wispy ghost-like tail as with other visual depictions of genies.
• Genie in a Bottle: An antique table lamp to be precise, and requires a lightbulb to be inserted for SCP-4035-1 to be summoned.
• Literal Genie: SCP-4035-1 tends to make wishes of this nature, usually with added Body Horror.

SCP-4036 - The Republic

• Deliberate Values Dissonance: Part of the SCP article involves the journal entries of the Republic's founder, an American imperialist (Norman Taylor) from the 1850s who became enamored with Sarkicism. The recorded entries often talk of Taylor indulging in the White Man's Burden and him feeling a "moral need to civilize" the islands' inhabitants (though he actually had a semi-sympathetic goal when doing this, namely to help protect the natives from Western imperialism).
• Hidden Elf Village: The Foundation has almost completely cut the Adytite Republic off from the outside world. Its inhabitants aren't exactly happy about it.
• Jerkass Has a Point: While they do practice Sarkicism and possibly aspire to militaristic expansion, the Adytite Republic is completely right when they point out that the Foundation's preservation of The Masquerade has cut them off from the rest of the world without their opinion ever being asked for input.
• Organic Technology: Being that they practice Sarkicism, they have this all over the place. Just as an example, the plumbing systems in their larger cities consists of living organisms, and one plumber interviewed by the Foundation even complains about how difficult it can be to make sure their pipes will always grow in the right direction.
• Religion of Evil: Surprisingly subverted - Despite Sarkicism being the state religion, the nation itself is rather stable and its adherents in the Republic are shown to (mostly) be pretty decent folk.
• Schizo Tech: Due to a mix of having been cut off from the outside world by the Foundation and utilizing Sarkic magic, their technological base is rather uneven.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Despite being a ruthless imperialist, Norman Taylor (the Republic's founder) created the Adytite Republic in part because he wanted to save the natives from being exploited and/or even wiped out by European and American colonization efforts.
• White Sheep: Much like Sarvi and SCP-2815, SCP-4036 is another example of the exceedingly rare of a genuinely "nice" Sarkic community.

SCP-4054 - The Seventh Door

• Beyond the Impossible: The ROM of the game is larger than the hardware of the cartridge should allow ... by a lot! So much, in fact, the ROM cannot be copied since the data size is too large for any computer to handle (taking modern computers into account, that means the ROM file is more than several terabytes in size, on an NES cartridge where a ROM hitting the 1-megabyte limit was extremely rare).
• Bottomless Pits: Does not work properly, should the player fall into one the hero will simply fall forever while the Game Over music infinitely loops. Therefore, they are literally "bottomless."
• Continuing is Painful: Although the manual promises multiple lives, the actual game only allows the player a single life, in which if they get a Game Over the cartridge immediately resets (unless they fall into a Bottomless Pit).
• Critical Existence Failure:
  • The player can die in the game at any time, seemingly at random, although most often it seems to happen if the player doesn't move for too long (this includes if the game is paused).
  • The cartridge itself qualifies, as every reset causes an electrical charge that damages the internal hardware, each copy can only be played so many times before it becomes unplayable
• Meaningful Background Event: While the Foundation claims no enemies load into the game, every screenshot shows what appears to be the "Blue Wraith" enemy lurking around.
• Minus World: The game is only supposed to have seven levels (for the seven keys), but the Foundation has discovered literally hundreds of additional levels beyond the seventh that cannot normally be accessed.
• No Fair Cheating:
  • Something very bad happens to you should you try to win by cheating, a streamer by the name of Charles Rogers attempts to hack the cartridge via a Game Genie to give himself the seven keys, only to suddenly vanish without a trace save for a couple of torn-off fingernails found in his NES system.
  • The cartridge itself has two transistors that produce a voltage spike to get around older NES model's authentication lock; although every time it does so it also sends an electrical charge through the cartridge hardware itself, damaging it and causing glitches. Since the game hard resets each time, the player gets a Game Over, every copy of the game has a limit of how many times it can be played before it becomes too damaged to be played at all.
• Unfinished, Untested, Used Anyway: The game was released before it was finished, meaning not only do enemies not spawn, but the seventh key does not even seem to be programmed in, making the game completely unwinnable.
• Unstable Equilibrium: Possibly unintentional, but due to the electrical charge the game produces to bypass being locked out of the NES system, every time the game is reset it damages the game's hardware a little more, causing increasingly frustrating glitches until the game becomes unable to be played.
• Unwinnable by Design: The game was released before it was actually finished and the seventh key was (seemingly) not programmed in, so the game can never be won. Trying to hack the seventh key into the game also does not work, as there are consequences for trying to cheat.
• Useless Item: All promised Power-Up items explained in the manual are absent from the game, save for one called the 'Hand of Glory'. However, its primary use seems to be freezing enemies on-screen for about 10 seconds, which is fairly useless given no enemies spawn in the game at all (although the item does freeze moving platforms as well).

SCP-4065 - Ancho(red) Reality

• Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Implied to be the true way that Scranton Reality Anchors "work": the devices themselves have no power whatsoever, but because the Foundation employees using the devices believe they work, the expected effects occur.
• Meaningful Background Event: SCP-4065-3 is a symbol devised by Dr. Susan Scranton which is the primary infection vector for SCP-4065, causing those who see it to being believing that Scranton Reality Anchors exist and function; there is also a secondary infection which causes those who see the symbol to believe it is the primary logo of the Foundation, in order to facilitate the sigil's spread. The sigil itself is never described (and is censored out of the associated image), but astute readers might notice that the site logo is conspicuously missing from the top of the page.

4100- 4199

SCP-4100 - Future Imperfect

• Colony Drop: The Triumvirate/Foundation kill the Destroyer by firing the now-abandoned Earth at the Destroyer at FTL speed.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: To reiterate, the Foundation defeated an Eldritch Abomination by using the Earth as a faster-than-light projectile to kill off the bastard.
• Eldritch Abomination: The mysterious entity known only as "The Destroyer," which was responsible for causing numerous calamities throughout Earth's history before eventually forcing humanity off-world.
• Expospeak Gag: Many of the Triumvirate's pictograms use this to describe everyday earthly concepts, being aware that future discoverers may be Starfish Aliens. For example, a diagram of potassium cyanide (represented by a series of tallies indicating the component elements) is used as a shorthand to mean "deadly (to carbon-based life)."
• Fling a Light into the Future: The abandoned Earth is still orbited by artificial satellites containing pictograms detailing documentation concerning various SCPs.
• Fun with Acronyms: The governing body of the galaxy that creates the article are called the "Stellar Congressional Protectorate." It serves as some nice Foreshadowing for the fact that the Foundation actually set them up millennia ago, and this article details them coming across their origins.
• Future Imperfect: Not a very comedic example, but it still counts, as the article shows the various members of the Stellar Congressional Protectorate badly misinterpreting the information left behind about certain SCPs (such as them interpreting a pictogram concerning SCP-173 as a possible precursor to alien drones used elsewhere in the galaxy). They also seem to have forgotten that the SCP Foundation was in fact responsible for creating the Protectorate in the first place.
• Starfish Aliens: The aliens that were making the archive record being read for the Stellar Congressional Protectorate are implied to be this, being that "salinated dihydrogen monoxide" (a.k.a. salt water) is described as being a virulent danger to their remaining workforce on Earth.

SCP-4122 - The Second-long Pipe

• Just One Second Out of Sync: Anything sent through 4122's "backward" or "forward" end will travel one second into the past or future respectively.
• Temporal Duplication: This happens whenever something is put through the "backward" end of the pipe and then pulled back before it disappears into the past. In these cases, it always emits a high-pitched sound.
• Subliminal Seduction: When each high-pitched sound is played in slow motion, it's shown to be an Apocalyptic Log.
• Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds: Every time the pipe is used for duplication, an alternate timeline is created where all solid objects in the universe (starting with walls and eventually people) turn into copies of the object being sent through the pipe.

SCP-4128 - Action Comics #1

SCP-4128 is a man named Samson Sachs who has super strength and bones eight times denser than regular humans.

---

• Barehanded Bar Bending: This happened when a serial killer tried to use a knife to stab SCP-4128.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: After reading a couple of Jerry Siegel's comics, he became inspired and decided to become a vigilante, apprehending criminals whenever he could.
• Does Not Know His Own Strength: He used to break lots of things in his parents' house as a child, and he even broke his mother's fingers by accident. This becomes tragic when he fatally punches a teenager that tried to sneak up on him.
• In a Single Bound: Just like Superman, the very character he inspired.
• invoked Literary Agent Hypothesis: SCP-4128 is a man with Super-Strength who displayed his anomalous abilities in front of a young man named Jerry Siegel (sic) and claimed to be an alien.
• Mutants: Apparently what SCP-4128 is. 4128 has had his powers since birth or early childhood and has no clue where they come from - his claim of being an alien was just a joke.
• My God, What Have I Done?: He goes into a deep depression when he realizes that he inadvertantly killed the armed child of a drug trafficker out of self-defense.
• Older Than They Look: SCP-4128 looks like a middle-aged man, but he is actually 108 years old, having been born in the summer of 1913.
• Super-Strength: SCP-4128 is many times stronger than any normal human. Notably, his strength is at the level of the very earliest portrayals of Superman, and he isn't nearly as strong as modern versions of the character.

SCP-4168 - Decomposing Love

• Body Horror: 4168 will rot alive if she is not within 2 meters of -2 and wearing the ring he gave her.
• Mundanger: The author confirms that the point of the article is that 4168-2 is an abusive, controlling man who managed to get his hands on an anomalous ring.

SCP-4170 - The Dark

• Child Prodigy: It's implied that the child SCP-4170 is talking to might be one of these. The kid was able to explain to 4170 what light was, even though 4170 can't perceive light.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: SCP-4170 is ignored by its fellow DBIs and confesses to being deeply lonely.
• Starfish Aliens: SCP-4170 is a DBI (Dark-Body Intelligence), a sentient, kilometers-wide agglomeration of dark matter orbiting the Sun not far from Saturn. DBIs apparently do not reproduce in the conventional sense - 4170 seems to have simply coalesced and claims to have "created itself." Notably, the DBIs themselves are not anomalous, and SCP-4170 is only counted as an anomaly because it communicates with a human through unknown means.
• Starfish Language: Played with. The medium of DBI language - sterile neutrino beams - is profoundly alien, but its actual structure and content is familiar enough, and the Foundation doesn't seem to have much of a problem translating it. Probably the biggest difference is the absence of any words or concepts for things like "parents" or "light."
• Time Abyss: Subverted. SCP-4170 is at least 20,000 years old, but that's actually quite young for its kind, and it acts with childlike curiosity and innocence.

4200- 4299

SCP-4217 - Contain the Bismarck!

• Body Horror:
  • The Bismarck's main armament includes shells loaded with an unknown gas that cause horrific transformations in the crews of enemy ships.
  • It is implied that many of the Bismarck's crew were altered by the alien entity within the ship, as a number of the survivors had to be contained by the Foundation and none of the other fifteen-hundred other crew were ever recovered. It is implied from the messages it sent to the Foundation that many of the crew were absorbed into the alien's biomass.
• Friend or Foe?: Part of the Bismarck's armament included an artifact that was able to confuse enemy crews into attacking their allies. This was presumed destroyed during the Battle of the Denmark Strait.
• Healing Factor: The Bismarck's hull is observed to be able to self-repair between engagements, likely due to whatever alien lifeform is inhabiting it. The Foundation's attempts to contain it involve damaging the ship until it sinks back below the ocean to repair itself.
• It Can Think: The Foundation was briefly able to make contact with the alien entity controlling the Bismarck, but the images it showed them were a confusing mixture of memories of Nazi Germany, the battle that sank the ship, and SCP-2399.
• Organic Technology: A significant part of the Bismarck's mass is made up of a bizarre squid-like alien life form which repairs the hull and directs the ship.
• Vicious Cycle: SCP-4217 awoke in 1985 after being disturbed by a Foundation team sent to verify that it was neutralized. Afterwards, it cycles between a passive state where it patrols an underwater area hunting food and an active state where it surfaces and hunts civilian ships, with an interval of between two weeks and eleven months.
• Those Wacky Nazis: It is effectively a hodgepodge of Nazi occultism, involving a warship with multiple psychic artifacts, controlled by an alien life form, using an unknown power source, and guarded by thaumatalogical protective wards.

SCP-4220 - Dark Side of the Moon

• Artistic License – Physics: In-Universe - Despite Earth's Moon apparently being hollow, it still exerts the gravitational force expected from a completely solid celestial body of its size.
• Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Aleister Crowley, Jack Parsons, and L. Ron Hubbard all played vital roles in "Project Helios," where the United States utilized paratechnology to investigate the Moon.
• The Casanova: Jack Parsons, which is also a case of Truth in Television.
• Enemy Mine: Both GRU Division "P" and the Pentagram work together to convince both NASA and the CCCP to privately cancel the Space Race and help contain SCP-4220.
• Everyone Has Standards: While Jack Parsons is shown to be a massive hedonist and Cloud Cuckoolander, he wasn't happy with desecrating the graves of Native Americans to gain fuel for Project Helios, only going along with it due to the government threatening him into line.
• Hollow Earth: Well, more like Hollow Moon, to be accurate.
• Magitek: Humanity actually reached the Moon a few years earlier than in recorded history by harnessing special engines powered by having souls undergo nuclear fission, which is kept stable through the "energy" of sexual lust.
• Mood Whiplash: Most of the interview conducted via séance between the Foundation and Jack Parsons is rather comical and absurd due to Parsons being an utter Cloud Cuckoolander...but it becomes dead serious when Parsons starts to actually remember what he saw captured below the Moon's surface and goes into a blind panic.
  Jack Parsons: I don't know what happened - it forced its way up or maybe the Moon Goddess rejected it. But it was never meant to be seen. We weren't the first men on the Moon - but we should have been the last.
• Moon-Landing Hoax: A variant - Apparently, the Moon landings never actually took place on the real Moon, and instead took place on SCP-1812.
• Powered by a Forsaken Child: The main power source for Project Helios' propulsion system was the souls of Native Americans, who were captured when they began to haunt Helios-related officials for desecrating their graves.
• Shown Their Work: The article is surprisingly detailed in its analysis of American occultism during the 1950s and 1960s, and the lives of Crowley, Parsons, and Hubbard are replicated fairly accurately.
• Weird Moon: The Earth's Moon is apparently hollow, and within it is a massive facility conducting office work for the containment of an unknown entity's tomb.

SCP-4231 - The Montauk House

• Child by Rape: Lilly raped Francis, and their child was "Meri," a.k.a. SCP-166.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: The vast majority of North Access, Cornwall was boiled alive as a result of reality becoming unstable due to a mix of Lilly's abuse of Francis and Lilly's physical pain from giving birth to her and Francis' daughter.
• Death of a Child: Not only are there several children in North Access who were boiled alive during the Cornwall Incident, but the Global Occult Coalition's "Operation Ichabod" is revealed to have been a literal genocide they conducted against Type Greens across the latter half of the twentieth century, to the point where the average lifespan of a Type Green during this period was 8 years old. Francis/Clef was also one of the GOC agents involved in Ichabod, which only helped further facilitate his Sanity Slippage.
• Meaningful Name: Francis' abusive girlfriend is named "Lilly" - Just like Lilith. In addition, the SCP's name and designation are reminiscent of SCP-231 and Procedure 110-Montauk. Though Lilly isn't given a surname, Francis' surname is listed as "Wojciechowski," a Polish surname derived from "Wojciech," meaning "Happy Warrior," a somewhat ironic name for a depressed G.O.C agent tasked with essentially killing his own kind.
• Powered by a Forsaken Child: Late in the article it reveals that the reason why the Foundation doesn't crack down on "Operation Ichabod" is that the remains of the Type Greens the GOC murders are used in the construction of the Foundation's Scranton Reality Anchors, devices vital to containing reality warping anomalies. Even worse yet the final part of the article reveals that one of them by the house is starting to become sentient.
• Reality Warper: Both Francis and Lilly are Type Greens (the Foundation-verse's term for Reality Warpers), with the latter being especially powerful.

SCP-4281 - Stalled Conversation

• Double-Meaning Title: It's a conversation in a stall, obviously, but the talker also goes to great lengths to prevent the conversation from stalling.
• Hiding In A Bathroom Stall: Either hiding or stuck, but despite the fact that there is very clearly a person there, the Foundation have found no way to get him out or see his face.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: Appears to be the mysterious talker's primary motivation. He's not hostile or even rude, he just talks a lot, and appears legitimately distraught when he thinks he's offended someone.

SCP-4290 - The Child Hungers

• Big Eater: Yup. The Child is described as having an insatiable appetite, to the point where nomming away at the human race probably still wouldn't satisfy it. This hunger ends up being its downfall - the Child starved to death while it was sealed away, and judging by the age of its corpse, it didn't take very long before malnutrition caught up to it.
• Dead All Along: The Child has been dead for over 9000 years and is entirely harmless.
• Evil Versus Oblivion: The last group to perform the Child's sealing ritual were the Daevites. Considering that the Child's endless hunger would have conflicted with the Daevites' goals of conquest, it was likely due to this trope.
• Forgot to Feed the Monster: Turns out, after having been sealed away for so long, its lack of sustenance killed it... approximately 9000 years ago.
• Humanoid Abomination: The Child is a 40 meter tall bipedal monstrosity, described as having unfathomable power and ten maws to feast with.
• Logical Weakness: The Child is not The Needless and will starve to death if it goes too long without food.
• Required Secondary Powers: An all-consuming eldritch being of endless hunger also requires the capability to be The Needless, otherwise it'll eventually starve to death if unfed for too long, like SCP-4290.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: The Child is locked up under Qinghai Lake, guarded by various seals, and must be satiated with a ritual every couple thousand years.
• "Shaggy Dog" Story: Thousands of years of effort and fear were spent on this creature, and the Foundation itself blows countless resources preparing for its release, only for it to be revealed that the beast has been dead almost the entire time, rendering several millennia worth of countermeasures meaningless. A rare case where an anticlimax is actually a better outcome than the alternative.

4300- 4399

SCP-4310 - The Hero's Journey

• Big Creepy-Crawlies: A giant centipede with a particularly nasty method of feeding.
• Child Eater: 4310 lures in kids looking for a fantasy adventure and devours them, and if they normally wouldn't be interested in that, the pheromones it secretes will ensure they will.
• Jumped at the Call: Kids who do this are the only kind of prey it feeds on.
• Mentor Archetype: The rear end of the centipede has skin flaps that resemble an old man, and its mating calls sound like a call to action for any brave child in earshot.
• Portal Door: The children are ordered to step into an archway to begin their adventure, but in reality, the archway is formed from 4310's legs and it leads straight into its stomach.

SCP-4319 - ♡By Girls, For Girls♡

• Alpha Bitch: KeeLee Auburn, who created the original "JGT" Magazine before it became a blog, appears to be in charge of everything, and decides what her members are allowed to like (like giving Jess approval to like bugs, even though bugs aren't girly). However, she may not actually be the one responsible for the brainwashing as the subject Terry aka "PINK FLY" admits the memetics are hers. That being said, KeeLee knows she is using memetics to get her way.
• And I Must Scream: The blog's victims are very much aware of what's happening to them and are NOT happy about it.
• Becoming the Mask: In the final margin of the article, Jess writes, "I hope I'm okay. I think I am." possibly realizing she's losing herself to the memetic effects of the blog. The side story "Losing My Colors" shows Laura, a Foundation researcher, losing herself as well, but managing to fight back and leave a note about the SCP before she's subsumed completely.
• Big Brother Is Watching:
  • In the JGT Chat it turns out the chatroom's "Bot" JGTBot is not actually a bot program at all. After a user named Sara insists on using a trans member's chosen name of Landon instead of his dead name of Cora, the 'bot' gets angry and calls Sara a narcissist and tells her to "back off with the tranny shit."
  • A user named PINK FLY manages to hack into the cameras at a club to catch Sara doing "something" that Sara wouldn't want shown to two people named Rivka and Yehezkel (presumably, Sara as a lesbian with Rivka and Yehezkel being Sara's parents). PINK FLY proceeds to blackmail Sara into continuing to work for the blog, and steal half of her wages to keep her mouth shut.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: KeeLee claims she wants to help women to not be boring and embrace being girly, as long as that's her interpretation of being girly (no transgender people, no lesbians, girls must like pink, girls must always agree with her and bully people she doesn't like). KeeLee herself has been shown to be very mean, cold, and passive aggressive, if you're not being polite and following her every command, then you deserve to be bullied and harassed.
• The Dragon: As revealed in the "Filled To The Brim With Girlish Glee" chatlog, a user named Terry aka "PINK FLY" admits the memetics were actually her design. It's also revealed PINK FLY is a skilled hacker, which is how the blog keeps getting put back online in spite of the SCP continuously blocking it.
• Female Misogynist: For all of KeeLee's insistence that she's looking out for women, she holds a lot of outdated and misogynistic views herself. She even implicitly brainwashed one of her followers into staying in an abusive relationship because "girls must always be loyal to their boyfriends".
• For Your Own Good: The original influencer of SCP-4319, a user called KeeLee thinks that forcing women to be more girly against their will is a good thing; justifying her transphobia (women can't be men), homophobia (girls who like girls are freaks), and anti-semitism (jewesses are weird).
• The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: An eerie example even by the standards of the website: If you're signed into wikidot, an otherwise empty divider box will contain a note from KeeLee addressed to you by user-name, with the final supplemental Tale link within.
• Framing Device: SCP-4319 is presented as a Blog on the website called "Just Girly Things!" - For Girls, By Girls, hard information about the actual nature of the SCP (it being a Keter-class memetic anomaly that brainwashes women into being more appropriately "girly") is located in the margins of the blog, as well in supplemental material.
• Girly Girl: The memetic effect of the SCP is to force any woman exposed to it to be more stereotypically girly, up to bending reality around the user to change their clothes, paint their room pink, and give them pretty things like stuffed animals, jewelry, and other approved girly items.
• Hate Sink: KeeLee, with her abusive behavior, bigotry and sickeningly sweet demeanor, is clearly framed as a hate-worthy character. Many of the commenters in the SCP's discussion section have noted how much revulsion she inspires in them and in-universe, Sara quickly starts to hate her as well.
• It's All About Me: KeeLee insists that she just wants to show positivity towards femininity, but it's clear that she only feels this way towards girls who fit her idea of femininity and hers alone.
• Literary Allusion Title: "filled to the brim with girlish glee" is a quote from The Mikado, doubling as a Genius Bonus. The song is sung by "three little maids from school," from a show that only puts on the trappings of Japanese culture without having any real connection to it. SCP-4319's aesthetics strongly recall stereotypical schoolgirl tastes and manners, as well as Japanese kawaii culture - which, ironically enough, began as weaponized cuteness to rebel against an authoritative and conformist society that tries to force people into social norms and gender roles. JGT aims to force the trappings of stereotypical femininity on people assigned female at birth without an actual understanding of what femininity, girlhood, and womanhood is: a matter of personal identification.
• Mind Rape: Doles this out to anyone who goes against her idea of femininity. The website itself also induces a more "creeping" or slow-acting variant, where the infected are able to believe they're fine before the effects begin.
• Nothing Nice About Sugar and Spice: A dangerous website that warps the mind of those who visit it and giving them the power to make everything around them girly.
• Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: KeeLee wants everyone to be comfortable with femininity… as long as it's her idea of femininity and hers alone. And she's willing to abuse and Mind Rape people to force them into it.
• Pink Means Feminine: All the handles in her website's forums are a shade of pink, the website itself is drowned in pink, her victims can turn their surroundings pink and not liking pink is another thing that sets her off.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: KeeLee is openly transphobic and homophobic and expects every woman to conform to a very outdated idea of what a "true girl" is. In addition to that, her friend Terry "PINK FLY" is anti-semitic.
• Power-Up Food: One of the blog's readers and members of the JGT chat, Ella, runs a bakery called "Ella's Sickly Sweets," which can help (force) women into being/acting more girly:
  • Sprinkle Deco Cake: Cupcakes buried in a disgusting amount of frosting and rainbow sprinkles, they supposedly have the power to make the eater remember happy "girly" memories from their childhood.
  • PoppyPops: Sugar-coated fruity lollipops that force the eater to feel approved "girly" emotions; strawberry pops make a woman want to be 'perfect' (read: submissive and obedient), while lemon pops force a woman to be 'happy'.
  • SugarButtons: White chocolate buttons that looks like plastic buttons and have the same nutritional value as plastic too. Girls are allowed to eat as much of them as they want because they have no substance and won't make them fat.
  • MiteMice: Sugary marshmallow parasites that when eaten, will in-turn eat everything "fatty" in the person's stomach so they can't gain weight. If you continue eating them even if you aren't eating, they instead start moving around to the rest of the body, eating a woman's body fat to make them look skinny (emaciated) like a supermodel.
• Reality Warper: Women who view the memetics of the magazine or blog will have reality warp around them to be more "girly," including changing their clothes, painting their walls pink, and giving them approved girly things like dolls and jewelry.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Sara manages one in "filled to the brim with girlish glee", specifically to KeeLee and Jess, when she quits the blog.
  KeeLee: Are you alright, dear?
  Sara: no, actually.
  Sara: the past month sucked.
  Sara: i got dumped by my date, i barely have enough to cover my meds, and you forced me to make a cult site.
  Sara: the maw of it, actually
  Sara: fucking hilarious, innit. a cult so shitty you have to brainwash your members.
  Jess: Oh dear. I'm sorry, Sara.
  Sara: fuck off. i wasted enough of my life on this shitty slice of the web.
  Sara: i don't need any more of your fake "sympathy". everything you touch turns to pink, glittery shit. brainwashed, homophobic shit
  Sara: you took everything from me. my pay, my dignity, my integrity, what little happiness i had left, and crushed it into a plastic, eye-searing paste. all i have left is sara, and i'll die before you get to take that too
  Sara: goodbye. i hope all of you break this cult shit and live long, happy lives
  Sara: but i'm not holding my breath.
  <Sara has quit chat>
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In "filled to the brim with girlish glee", Sara, the site's former graphic designer, calls it quits after seeing one too many examples of KeeLee's abusive and bigoted behaviors and being blackmailed by PINK FLY. KeeLee attempts to link her a memetic agent to force her into staying, but fortunately fails.
• Sugary Malice: KeeLee's exterior is as sickeningly cutesy as can be, but it does little to hide the monster she truly is.
• Stay in the Kitchen: Among other things, playing sports and doing anything less than fawning over boys will draw her ire.
• Stepford Smiler: Women exposed to the blog are slowly turned into these against their will.
• The Villain Knows Where You Live: Signing up for her website immediately causes it to appear on every digital monitor in the victim's house, and additionally teleports "girly" clothes onto the victim's body, so that there is no escape from KeeLee's influence.

SCP-4335 - A Welt In The Crucible

• Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Not only was the addition of Endermen a result of the SCP Foundation's attempt to cover up SCP-4335's spawn, the ending note shows that current lead developer of Minecraft Jens Bergensten is an SCP Foundation member.
• Humanoid Abomination: A shadowy, dark entity that persists within Minecraft and hates creation. It takes the rough shape of a player model. The Endermen were also initially its spawn, before they were put into the game as a Foundation cover-up operation.
• Delicious Distraction: SCP-4335 grows in size after consuming an item, but it cannot grow in size while busy consuming one. This weakness is exploited by the Foundation to keep it contained by constantly force-feeding it items from a mob farm, which its tentacles auto-consume.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: It's a being bent on destroying the concept of creation itself. It also gets stunned by TNT blasts and lava, which play a strong part in restraining SCP-4335 back in the event of a containment breach.
• Powers Do the Fighting: Its shadow tendrils automatically strike and destroy any block or that gets within a 5 block radius of it, with 4335 analyzing and consuming it. This actually becomes its weakness because a constant supply of items forces the tentacles to destroy them and causes SCP-4335 to constantly eat, which prevents it from growing in size as it cannot do so while busy consuming.
• Too Much Alike: SCP-4335 views the concept of creation as similar to itself, which is why it detests it.

SCP-4337 - D-59932 Didn't Die for This Shit

• What the Hell, Hero?: A researcher's attempt to use SCP-4337 for help in neutralizing an anomaly turned out to have been completely pointless as the Three Moons Initiative were not only unhelpful, they were annoyed as well, prompting this reaction from Director Naismith.
  Thaumiel classification revoked with vehemence. 10-Inti testing is heretofore relegated only to low-priority questions.

SCP-4338 - Vulcan, the Disaster

• Appease the Volcano God: It is the volcano god in need of appeasing, constantly demanding to be fed with massive amounts of food and killing those who fail to fulfill its demands. Once it got accidentally "appeased" with the junk food, it eventually started demanding for more of the stuff, growing obese to the point that it's now too powerless to carry out its threats. To add insult to injury, the Foundation is now considering feeding it slaughterhouse waste, industrial runoff, and other edible food waste to lower containment costs even further.
• Big Eater: To satisfy it needs, at least 220 kg of food has to be deposited in its crater. Once it gets a taste of junk food, it wanted at least 10.8 metric tons of food thrown in its crater. By the time it became too big to leave its crater, the Foundation only has to leave at least 7.4 metric tons of low-quality food on the island's lava to keep it placated.
• A God Am I: It was revered as a volcano god by numerous Oceanic cultures. Whether it demanded the worship or whether the worship got to its head, 4338 clearly sees itself as far above humanity and expects to be treated as a god.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: It does not take kindly to people refusing to submit to its demands. Even if they do give it the appropriate offerings to keep it sedate, it might reject them and go on a rampage anyway. As it turns out, junk food can even turn all-powerful volcano gods into lazy couch potatoes.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: After picking up a taste for junk food, SCP-4338 starts demanding extravagant amounts of it as offerings. Unfortunately for it, it's not immune to the obesity that comes with eating large amounts of junk food, and eventually becomes too fat to leave the volcanic crater. Director Thornborrow is clearly fighting the urge to smile when reminding a near-powerless 4338 that it requested the food that was its downfall.
• How the Mighty Have Fallen: By the third iteration, SCP-4338 is hardly even able to move, much less threaten people, in stark contrast with the nigh-unstoppable Keter it was in the first version. It went from destroying civilizations and terrorizing the natives to begging the Foundation for junk food and being considered for use as an industrial waste dump.
• Jerkass Gods: 4338 was revered as a god by several civilizations, and enjoys using its powers to threaten and immolate people as well as demand tribute. Which makes its ultimate fate that much more cathartic.
• Magma Man: A sapient mass of volcanic rock that resides inside the magma chamber of Moaha Island.
• No Indoor Voice: Everything it says in the interview logs is in all caps. Once sufficiently weakened, it drops this trait and starts speaking normally, and in the final version it can barely even manage that.
• Remote Body: It creates a rock-based copy of the last human leader it killed as a vessel for communicating with people. When it gains a new body, the old one shatters into volcanic glass.
• Weaksauce Weakness: As it turns out, even a powerful volcano god is susceptible to obesity. It's ultimately contained by making it too fat to do anything.
• You Have Failed Me: If any food offering is found unacceptable by SCP-4338, it will leave its volcano via eruption, track down the leader of the nearest human social group, and destroy them before converting their body into a new avatar for itself.

SCP-001 - First and Foremost

• Painting the Medium: SCP-4380, a man known as "Primus the first", causes all numbers associated with him to be rendered as 1, including his age and SCP number.
• Blatant Lies: Primus also makes people think he's a record-breaker or an undefeated game player. For instance, he was the first to obtain a trillion Instagram likes when Instagram didn't even have that many accounts, and "won" every chess game when all he did was move his pieces around at random.

4400- 4499

SCP-4400 - This Is Not A Place of Honor

• Deal with the Devil: Not exactly devil, but EoI-4400-Cáceres is an ontokinetic entity that can be summoned and offer information in exchange for an offering of important materials or esoteric knowledge. It gave the original summoner information on how to create nuclear weapons, and the Foundation information on the previous summoner. Its knowledge is actually pretty outdated by modern standards, so the Foundation isn't all that worried.
• Fantastic Nuke: A near-literal example. The entity gave the old Palanquan civilization the means of creating a nuke by magical means, which functions nearly identically to a regular nuke except that it uses magic to split the atom.
• Fictional Counterpart: SCP-4400 is a Pocket Dimension used by the real life Mayan culture of Palanque to contain SCP-4400-América, a collection of nuclear weapons constructed using anomalous means. The pocket dimension includes several pictograms implying great danger. According to invokedWord of God, it's based on the real life "This Place is not a Place of Honor" article.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: The Fantastic Nuke is furiously deconstructed by Site Director Osorio. These things must have seemed like the wrath of the gods themselves 1350 years ago, but today, they're not really all that impressive. Hell, the nuclear failsafe used by the Foundation is more powerful than it. Even Cáceres, the demon that told the Mayans how to make these things. If the most powerful weapon they could conjure up is a nuclear bomb, then they're not any more dangerous than Robert Oppenheimer was.

SCP-4419 - The Butcher's Chariot

• Body Horror: Anyone unfortunate enough to be picked up by SCP-4419 are undergone bodily modifications that go from the grotesque, to Beyond the Impossible. Limbs and vital organs are relocated, people are fused together, etc.
• Medical Horror: While we never experience any of the gory details of how it happens, SCP-4419 resembles a regular ambulance and ambulance crew. Anyone picked up by them are later dropped off at a random location, having undergone physiological modifications that fall squarely under Body Horror territory. A couple sewn together, a man's heart is moved into his throat, a homeless man's brain removed and placed in his hands, and so on.

Dr. Michaels - Dr. Michaels is not in danger

• Painting the Medium: The point of the article is that any information that is highlighted is false. This is done to try and communicate information about the anomaly that can't be expressed for unknown reasons.

SCP-4444 - Bush v. Gore

• Alien Invasion: The main threat of Al Gore winning the US Presidency is that "Garber Gore" (the alien infesting him) will be able to then call the rest of their species here and render the Earth uninhabitable through a runaway greenhouse effect.
• Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: A near-literal case - Al Gore is infected with an Eldritch Abomination and to prevent him from winning the 2000 US Presidential election, the Foundation has a version of Elias Shaw installed in the brain-dead body of George W. Bush run against him.
• Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: The Global Occult Coalition gets increasingly confused by all of the rumors sifting out of the United States involving the Foundation's involvement in the 2000 Presidential election. Among the rumors are that Gore is "an alien, a Bigfoot, a ghost, and a ghost of an alien Bigfoot."
• Cloudcuckoolander: Even for an extraterrestrial Eldritch Abomination, Garber Gore is shown to be pretty... "out there" mentally speaking, with one of its "dark spells" being it shouting "Gregarious enchant the manatee!" at the top of its lungs.
• Cluster F-Bomb: Elias Shaw-as-Bush goes on a massive profanity-laden rant (albeit one that is censored) upon being stuck in the brain-dead body of George W. Bush so as to provide a threat against Gore in the 2000 US Presidential election.
• Eldritch Abomination: "Garber Gore," an extradimensional entity that is invisible to the naked eye but appears under infrared as a long, slender, translucent, hexagonal pyramid with six triangular vents, one at the top of each of its six faces. The entity is inscribed with numerous glyphs written in an alien language, many of which glow when it is co-opting the voice of Gore. It's also a Reality Warper that can possess humans and causes a runaway greenhouse effect as a side effect of its possession when exposed to direct sunlight.
• Entertainingly Wrong: The reason why SCP-4444 possessed the vice president instead of the president directly was that it misinterpreted the "vice" part of the position's name to imply superiority. And it had already co-inhabited Gore's body when it realized its mistake.
• Epic Fail: All of the September Debate. Not only does Shaw-as-Bush go completely off-script with a profanity-laced and extremely offensive speech, but the Foundation's attempts to discredit Gore by tying him into the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal (namely, by claiming that he was Clinton's lover, not Lewinsky) results in SCP-4444 casting a "dark spell" over the audience culminating in both Garber and Gore ending the debate by running straight through a nearby wall. Suffice to say, the Foundation is forced to amnesticize everyone and prevent the footage from being aired.
• Foregone Conclusion: A large part of the article's humor is seeing how both the Foundation and UIU desperately try to make sure Bush wins the election against Gore when the reader already knows the election result.
• Godzilla Threshold: In case Gore won the election, the Foundation was prepared to cause a fatal gas leak in the Democratic headquarters to help them contain Gore and Garber.
• Heel–Face Turn: Implied with Garber, with them acting as a Graceful Loser after their defeat in the election and letting Gore refocus himself on preventing climate change (which would have been further exacerbated by "Garber's" species). Additionally, Garber apologizes about "casting a dark spell" during the September Debate and promises to never do so again.
• Hilarity Ensues: Basically the entire article is watching the Foundation's hilariously bizarre attempts at containing Gore and the Eldritch Abomination infesting his mind.
• Historical In-Joke: The (in)famous "hanging chad" situation in Florida is explained here as being due to Dr. Spanko/SCP-2337 destroying the swing votes that would've given the election to Gore.
• Irony: Al Gore, a famous environmentalist, is infected by an extraterrestrial Eldritch Abomination whose species wipes out entire planets by essentially causing a runaway greenhouse effect by infesting the local population.
• Lighter and Softer: As part of its Homage to the earlier articles of the site, being more focused on humor than horror. In fact, no one is actually killed off over the course of the story aside from George W. Bush's clinical brain death.
• Literal Split Personality: Amusingly, Garber Gore's relationship with Al Gore generally seems to be closer to this than Demonic Possession, with Garber and Gore being quite civil to each other and viewing each other as friends more than anything else.
• Narrative Profanity Filter: Parodied when Shaw-as-Bush goes on a heavily censored Cluster F-Bomb rant after being implanted in Bush's body.
• Noodle Incident: When the Foundation is meeting with the Unusual Incidents Unit and the Pentagon over figuring out a way to contain SCP-4444, Dr. Clef drily tells General Roland that "This won't be the first time we've fucked with your elections, bub."
• Oh, Crap!:
  • Elias Shaw starts to panic when everyone else meaningfully stares at him after they all realize they need someone/something to possess George W. Bush's comatose body so as to run against Gore.
  • Sophia Light freaks out and runs to prevent the Foundation's gas leak at the Democratic headquarters once the votes from Florida come in and Bush wins the election.
• Only Sane Man: Regional Foundation Director Sophia Light comes across as the only person with her head screwed on right throughout the election campaign.
• Reality Warper: "Garber Gore" and the rest of their kind seem to be this, with them being able to cast "dark spells" and walk through walls (making normal Foundation containment procedures unfeasible).
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Played for Laughs; When Garber is casting a "dark spell" during the September Debate, Al Gore's eyes are shown to be glowing red in a picture taken by the Foundation.
• Refuge in Audacity: UIU Agent Montoya is able to keep the Global Occult Coalition from butting in on the UIU and Foundation's attempts at containing Gore by telling most of what's going on to GOC General Noriega, phrasing most of it as so over-the-top that it just leaves the GOC more confused than anything else.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: As the September Debate goes increasingly Off the Rails, Garber and Gore both end the debate by running straight through a nearby wall.
• Shout-Out: The Foundation considers defaming Gore by claiming that he's had sex with a pig. They dismiss it as far too implausible.
• Spanner in the Works: Dr. Spanko is all but stated to be the reason why Bush won the election since he destroyed the "hanging chad" votes in Florida.
• Take a Third Option: The article uses the Esoteric Class of "Ticonderoga" to refer to the unique situation surrounding the containment of the entity within Al Gore.
• Tempting Fate: Subverted; The above-mentioned "Star Wars" rumor is rejected since the Foundation deems it too similar to the actual situation involving Gore and thus provides more of a potential security risk.
• Toilet Humor: Because Bush's body is brain-dead when Shaw possesses him, he can't even go to the restroom without extensive outside help.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Al Gore seems to take being partly possessed by an Eldritch Abomination in absolute stride.
• Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: While there is nothing the Foundation could exactly do to stop SCP-4444's species should they decide to invade Earth en mass, they are given a chance to fight against it by SCP-4444 fully admitting that their species refuses to invade planets until one of them co-inhabits the planet's leader so as to ensure that they would not be impeded.
• Word-Salad Humor: Most of "Garber Gore's" dialogue when co-opting Al Gore's mouth to speak is nothing but hilarious-sounding nonsense.

SCP-4481 - A Casuality of the Single Worst Astronautical Disaster in History

SCP-4481 is the wreckage of the Excelsior, an alternate history's counterpart to the Space Shuttle Challenger, discovered in February 1986 off the coast of Florida. This timeline's Big Bird, designated SCP-4481-A, had been sent onboard instead of the Teacher in Space, and was the shuttle's only survivor before committing suicide.

---

• Alternate History: SCP-4481 came from a different timeline, relatively similar to ours aside from a handful differences. Emblems of the United States flag have 41 stars, the near-extinct Gros Michel cultivar of bananas are commercially available as dried slices, and NASA permitted Big Bird to go on the space shuttle for a publicity stunt.
• Body Horror: The remains of the crew have been virtually liquefied, viscera and bone shards held together by burnt skin. SCP-4481-A's autopsy was inconclusive on whether it's fragmented remains of the skull or not that are now around the heart.
• Driven to Suicide: The Foundation found SCP-4481-A attempting to drown itself, pleading for death due to the extent of its injuries. Ultimately, Big Bird succeeded in ending his suffering before the Foundation could secure the wreckage.
• Electronic Eyes: The Big Bird suit's heterochromatic eyes have cameras hidden inside them. Despite being thrown into a different timeline, for a year its recordings were being received by an unknown individual in Boston.
• Human Resources: Analysis of the spacesuits reveal that they are biologically human in nature.
• Made of Bologna: Autopsies of the crew found that they had no skeletons or intact muscle structures.
  Several pieces of soft tissue, believed to be organs, were found in a soup of fluid— mostly blood and sweat —at the lowest point of the thoracic cavity.
• Palette Swap: The Excelsior has a largely black paint job instead of NASA's traditional white, and Big Bird's feathers are white and blue instead of bright yellow.
• Shout-Out: Inspired by the YouTuber Sam O'Nella Academy, the article is full of references to topics discussed in his videos.
  • Big Bird almost was sent on board the Challenger, a fact that warranted Sam to give a "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer in his "Animals In Space" video, which the title of the SCP quotes.
  • A dead rhesus macaque was fused to its cage, a nod to all the Alberts "turned into a fine pink mist" in the Space Race.
  • Gros Michel bananas are commonplace in SCP-4481's timeline instead of the iconic Cavendish variety (the latter heavily discussed in "Why Produce Used to Suck" and "The Banana Republics")
• Sole Survivor: Big Bird/SCP-4481-A was the only crew member the Foundation found upon searching the flooded wreckage, although he didn't last for long.

SCP-4493 - Keep Pride Out of Corps

• The Alcoholic: The page image is of the phenomenon causing Absolut Vodka to proudly admit to profiting off the higher rates of alcoholism amongst the LGBT community.
• Capitalism Is Bad: Gamers Against Weed (the SCP’s creator) don’t have a particularly high opinion of the corporations making pride month posts.
• Dirty Cop: One instance of the phenomenon exposed several officers in one police department using their positions to abuse members of the LGBT community. Said officers were later found dead of a heart attack in their homes.
• Hypocrite: The SCP exists to expose this by hijacking corporate pride month posts to admit all the ways that particular company hurts and profits off the suffering of the LGBT community.
• Laser-Guided Karma: The phenomenon inflicts this on corporations by editing their pride month posts to have them admit to how they hurt the LGBT community, turning their marketing attempt against them.
• Police Brutality: One instance of the phenomenon focused on exposing this. Namely several officers employed at a particular police department who abused their power against members of the LGBT community.
• Take That!:
  • The SCP is a general potshot against "rainbow capitalism," a form of hypocrisy where corporations express support for LGBT communities during Pride Month despite business decisions indicating their true opinions lie elsewhere.
  • The Dirty Cops killed by the SCP include a "B. Smith," "N. Krum," and "L. Aaron." These are puns for RPC Authority site members Blairin and Enkrum, who have been accused of homophobic misconduct.

SCP-4494 - The Spectre Fights For Justice!

See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps.

SCP-4495 - A God for Pigs

SCP-4495 resembles a paartially decayed corpse of a pig dressed like a king sitting on a throne. From a great gash in its midsection an infinite stream of sentient pork intestines (SCP-4495-1)streams out. Fortunately, the Foundation has found a rather clever way of dealing with the issue.

---

• Bizarre Alien Biology: Superficially, it resembles a bipedal pig clad in regal wear reclining upon a throne; however, closer examination reveals that the throne, figure, and raiments all constitute a single immobile organism (comprised of keratin, bone, and skin). It is unknown if the subject is alive or dead, but if the former is the case, it doesn't mind constantly spilling its intestines all over the place.
• Mystery Meat: The SCP research team found out that after a simple process, the amount of SCP-4495-1 can be decreased... invokedby being consumed. Now it is regularly fed to SCP employees and D-class, with surprisingly no negative effects except for very little waste excreted.

SCP-4498 - The Plurality of Elias Shaw

• Animal Religion: Every living being on the site was affected, including animals. Kevin Fant-Shaw appears to have formed a religion with a bunch of rat-Shaws that worship the Great Elias and the dirty down below.
• Flanderization: Played for Laughs with the Shaw copies, with the original Shaw even complaining about their increasing number of eccentricities. Hand Waved In-Universe as being due to the anomaly that imprinted Shaw's personality on everyone, with the Shaw personalities eventually "decaying" over time at varying rates until the original person's personality would return.
• Groin Attack: Both Kiryu-Shaw and Clef-Shaw had these intentions, towards the original Shaw and Troy Lament respectively.
• Impersonation Gambit: Clef-Shaw was not affected by the incident, having been delayed and arrived at the site shortly after. He just played along because he thought it was hilarious.
• Me's a Crowd: The whole point of the SCP is that Shaw's amulet, the one that copies his consciousness onto whoever's wearing it, has somehow afflicted everyone in an entire Foundation site.
• Oh, Crap!: Sophia Light when she realizes that Mann and his entire entourage are probably trapped at Site-53 with all the Shaws.
  Dr. Light: Fuck.
• Only Sane Man: Both Sophia Light and the original Elias Shaw come across as some of the only people trying to keep their heads together during the whole disaster.
• Other Me Annoys Me: The original Elias Shaw doesn't get along well at all with his numerous copies.
• Pirate Girl: Kiryu-Shaw declares herself a pirate queen, and her faction very much acts the part, even building a makeshift pirate ship out of a tank they found.
• Troll: After the whole mess is over with, it's revealed that Clef was only playing along with the other Shaws since he found the whole situation hysterical.

SCP 4499 - YES, ONLY $44.99!

SCP-4499 is a great white shark that's capable of human speech and tries to sell anomalies to those it comes across.

---

• Motor Mouth: The shark speaks in the form of infomercial sales pitches. On occasions, a sales pitch from the shark has been noted to last several hours.
• Noodle Incident: The foundation is trying to figure just how this shark has knowledge of the anomalies it tries to sell.
• Talking Animal: It's a shark with a human larynx in it's throat, allowing it to speak. That being said, the shark prefers solely to speak in the form of an infomercial sales pitch.
• They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: SCP 4499 looks exactly like a great white shark, meaning that distinguishing it from a normal shark is impossible until it speaks.
• Threatening Shark: Zig-zagged. It's not hostile, but it tries to sell anomalies, many of which are SCPs contained by the foundation that could easily kill the "buyers".
