SCP Foundation

So this was made by someone about a fictional SCP escaping and fighting the MTF.

In related note, do you ever feel like the site has become boring? A lot of things on the site i read in the past used to be scary but in recent times, there's nothing scary about the new entries since you seen one creature/ghost/alien/anomaly that can kill, mess your mind or end the world, you seen them all.

Furthermore, i feel like the lore contradict itself many times (eg. they can contain and do exorcism of ghosts and evil spirits yet they never do that at some dangerous ghosts/spirits SCP, the technology the Foundation uses varies from modern tech to futuristic or that humanity's true origins vary from either humanity were created by aliens, humans are clones, humans were created by God, humans used to be zoo animals of Bigfoot etc) .

The site has yet to become boring for me. As for the contradictions in the lore, that has actually been a thing since many years ago, and is already handwaved by the Loose Canon nature of the setting. That is, just because you see all this SCPs in a single list doesn't mean that they all coexist with each other... or that any given fan/contributor must act as if they all do. That's why you have, say, an SCP article referencing "SCP-2XXX" (with "X" standing in for black block-type censorship), yet an exhaustive search would show that none of the Series 3 skips could possibly fit the reference; the easiest solution is to assume that the SCPs in question exist in a different universe with respect to the rest of the list.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

There is no lore for the SCP Foundation except when a specific writer wants there to be.

Also, it's been a while since "ooh scary" was a necessary objective for all SCP entries. So much so that there was a recent contest that basically went like this- "Hey, guys, remember when this site was all about creepypasta and shit? Let's see if we can take another stab at it with today's quality standards."

but HOW?

SCP having a loose canon is a understatement, aside of some things(like the foundation having D-Class, Movil group, Sites to guard stuff,etc) there isnt any damn canon at all, some times there is plenty of Group of interest, other times there is none except the foundation, one SCP already post here the author admit he dosent consider the Moon base talk in another SCP(the portal pool) canon and so own.

The only thing close to and "oficial" canon is this some sort of meta narrative that pop up every now and them when some SCP start expanding one and each other, for example: the Daevas, the Night sons(1000), Skarasim,etc.

and about being scary....that is something some user have being talking actually, that SCP is pretty much a urban fantasy than proper creepy pasta setting and not matter how much the older guard think, is kinda going to remain that way.

I don't want to be scared by fiction. I don't want to be scared of a toaster because I think I'm one.

The bear one was at least sort of interesting, but it felt like it was missing something. Not sure on 1795, 1000, or 2935 yet.

Have you ever considered reading some of the Tales? The wiki is something like 50% short stories, and I often have more fun reading those than just SC Ps.

Then again, most of my favorite stuff is from Project Crossover, so I'm not exactly the best authority on this stuff. xP

but HOW?

Don't know if you guys have seen this but someone on youtube is making a short animated series on this. Here's ep1

Saw the first two episodes. Looks great. I like the idea of a D-Class subject who can regenerate a new body every time he's killed and his fellow cellmates and their interaction with the Foundation and the various SCPs.

3rd episode of The Confinement is out.

Damn, this series is filling the hole I had when I watched Ugly Americans.

Hey, currently working on an SCP. Would anyone like to see it?

Also, I feel we should add more characters for some new SC Ps that have been added recently.

Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste. Nice to meet you, hope you can guess my name.

4th episode is out.

Didn't realize the opening song is a cover of an American folk song. It sure fits the of this video really well.

So, anyone here saw the other language SCP pages?

Because, in the spanish speaking SCP fundation they create another GOI: the antares sociaty which is pretty much a 19 century esoteric sociaty, pretty intersting.

Speaking of other languages, I came here to say that a SCP light novel is going to be published in June. It's written by Akira of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki fame and illustrated by Sidu◊, who does Kagerou Project's PV.
The plot is about your average japanese protagonist being somehow transported to a containment zone by SCP-105. The official name is 鏡の国のアイリス (Kagami no Kuni no Iris).

I don't get at all why 2703 is being contained. So far it's done nothing harmful. It seems to pose no threat at all.

... You are grossly misunderstanding the mission of the SCP Foundation. Their primary goal is the protect normalcy, i.e. uphold The Masquerade, not just prevent anomalies from doing harm to humans.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

Then why is this one even under their study?

... Did you not read the description of the skip?

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

The skip?

Okay, so let's break it down:

It shows up by calling the number.

It's been on four dates. First one went well. Second one, the person was scared off. Third one, it was depressed because of the second one scaring it off. Fourth one, it's somehow no longer depressed and only wants women.

Okay, so what? It's not a threat. It's not exceedingly weird. It can't do anything harmful. Why not just let it be?

Why did it get over its depression so fast? Why does it now only want women?

See WJS' proposal for SCP-001. The upper echelons of the Foundation decide what's "normal" and what isn't. Anything that doesn't fit into their definition of "normalcy" has to be contained, even if it's harmless. Even if it's actively beneficial to humanity.

Sometimes, the Foundation are the bad guys.

I didn't write any of that.

then what's my takeaway if I can't root for either side?

Also, how did it get over its depression? Why does it only like women now?

The SCP object. It's colloquially known as a "scip" (from "SCP"), which is often written as "skip" to avoid pronunciation confusion ^note the "c" in the "sc" digraph is typically silent in English when it begins a word and is followed by a vowel.

You're glossing over several very important facts.

This implies teleportation of an organism, which is a violation of normalcy by performing something widely known to be impossible by current scientific understanding.

A morphological chimera of owl, goat and rabbit/hare that also has "tentacles" of unspecified appearance (could be octopus-like, could be not even remotely similar to such) is a blatant violation of normalcy.

A nonhuman creature — especially one whose appearance derives from real-life animals that are nowhere even remotely "human level" in intelligence/cognition — that not only fluently speaks human language, but is a literal omniglot and also claims to be an aristocrat of some locations that do not exist anywhere on Earth is a gross violation of normalcy.

Demonstrating possession of teleportation of oneself and others as a personal power is an unambiguous violation of normalcy.

---

As for how it got over its depression so fast... We don't know, other than the implication in the last testing log (which immediately precedes the discovery that the skip is no longer depressed) that fulfilling its request to be hugged by D-6471 had an emotionally uplifting effect that was sufficient to "cure" the depression.

As for why it's now targeting women exclusively... D-6471, who "cured" the skip's depression, is a woman. It's plausible that the skip would start fixating on women as a side-effect.

Beyond that... We don't know, and probably the Foundation itself doesn't know. In fact, heed this piece of advice: Many articles will leave you with more questions than answers, and that's OK. The mystery factor is a major element of the setting; Nothing Is Scarier exists for a reason.

... I don't think you're actually interpreting that SCP-001 proposal right. What I got is that if the Foundation didn't do what they're doing with that skip, things would be a lot worse for the sapient anomalies that would love to "normalize" their existence via messing with the documents.

I take it you're not a fan of Gray-and-Grey Morality?

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

Yes, the species is violating all kinds of normalcy, but IT'S NOT DOING ANYTHING HARMFUL. Why not just let it do its thing?

Why are there so many holes in the story anyway?
