Thanks for covering my article! I love the adaptation, and am eagerly awaiting part 2! 🙂 Although a lot of the subtext of the original article couldn't be translated into the audio-visual summary format (e.g. particular inflections, textual mistakes in the document that the Ethics Committee points out, Byrnes & the EthComm insisting on calling Marley "it" in the documentation, Morgan McPharrell's earlier role in the story), I still think you did an excellent job encapsulating the tension of the build up. Looking forward to next week! 😄 (I'll write a longer comment on Part 2, after everyone gets The Trauma haha)
It's this SCP ... I hate it, but in a good way The worst part is that in an SCP-8066 tale, which is an SCP where SCP-2006 breaks out of containment and forces everyone to live their worst nightmare, he doesn't even change anything for Lillian, because she's already living her worst nightmare. Truly horrifying.
If this is her worst nightmare, then she must not be very imaginative. This would be a vacation compared to horrific fates I've contemplated, which don't even make my top 100 most awful fates worse than death. I'm sure people who are writhing in constant agony within the depths of that infectious slurry ocean monster (800-something), or being hunted through a maze by 106, would gladly endure twelve years of minimum security prison with no computer access and a slightly condescending jailor, if it got them out of a day or so of the misery they're enduring.
@@mattd5240 This is so realistic it is almost gut-revolving... I read it a while ago and I HATE - all with capital letters- Head Researcher Byrnes more than any other SCP persona depicted so far.
@RorysHappyHouse Spoilers By the end of the story, Lillian is too mentally broken to do any work. Towards the end, Lillian is literally begging Byrnes to be let out and is offering to sleep with him if he would. Byrnes said that if he wanted to do that, he would have. The worst part is that Byrnes isn't even really punished, he's only amnestisized and fired.
This one- this SCP is an utter vile masterpiece. If you’ve ever heard of stories such as Borassca, where there’s themes of expecting some supernatural horror only to expect the even worse horror of ACTUAL reality to gut punch you in the face, you’ll be knowing how terrible this is going to get.
Oh… I see where this is going. The fact that Byrnes fits such a perfect description of abusers in positions of power, the fact that he knows exactly what to say to those above him to avoid repercussions, and the fact that he’s not afraid to abuse his power over the situation to strike incriminating things from the record… I’m calling it now, and if I’m right, know this is a called shot and not a spoiler. This “anomaly” was no accident… and this is all a very thin metaphor for workplace abuse, in the psychological, emotional, and if I know the parallels this draws from, eventually sexual sense. It is the darkest parts of humanity, and while it takes place in a setting where true reality bending horrors can and do take place, this is likely no paranormal or supernatural anomaly. This is a man, realizing his dislike for a specific coworker, but also his inexplicable attraction to her. This is him realizing that he has the potential to fabricate an entire web of “incidents” to keep any authority from interfering between them, as he gains almost total control over a woman despite her best efforts to follow the rules and avoid him. This is him using his power, connections, and systemic knowledge of the foundation procedures to completely take over and derail her life, leaving her so trapped and broken that he can do whatever he wants to her, while her protests go unheard and unheeded for years. This is her personal hell, and he’s elected himself her tormentor. Given people’s reactions to this SCP and the sheer amounts of “Oh, it’s THIS one, Jesus Christ,” I take it I’m not on the wrong track.
Ding ding ding! You're on the money! All of the comments on the article are also just "this left me feeling so hollow on the inside" and I absolutely agree
Yossi wrote such a powerfully horrifying article that it not only grew even faster in popularity than SCP-5000, but an entire subreddit was created specifically for hating its universally despised antagonist.
Which kinda misses a big part of the SCP. The Person doing it is horrific beyond the pale, but the even worse horror isn't even what happened, but that he was allowed to do it. And of course, for many people, this isn't even fiction, it is utterly mundane.
@@greeniegogo Yeah, I listen to fantastical horror to avoid thinking about real horrors. Still listening to it, just not when my subconscious has its armour down.
I'm excited for part two because as of now i kinda fail to see at whats so horrible. She's an anomaly, tough luck. Getting locked up in containment sucks but she is even allowed socialization and work and all that. Considering how brutal and callous the foundation can be its not that bad. Brynes seems to be tactless and unfriendly but what should he do? Let an anomaly wander about in the world? Let her go back to work in a secure facility were a technical mishap could mean that literally all hell breaks loose? Excellent narration as always.
My guess is you should correct that to "caused". It is the ultimate tool for manipulation in the Foundation to cause someone to have an anomaly they can't get rid of
Never seeing your family or friends, being confined to a small room, all your actions requiring permission from someone else, being subjected to tests and knowing you can never leave. The standard treatment is pretty dehumanizing.
I knew exactly where this was going the moment I heard the dudes name. I'm glad that tes doesn't shy away from covering stories with themes of sexism, abuse, religious trauma, ect. These stories are cathartic for victims, but man are they hard to listen too.
Every other channel im subbed to, and there are a lot, i watch here and there, even if often, but this is the only channel i consistenly check on every Sunday.
Just read this one the other day and I think the thing that makes it so horrifying isnt just that it’s realistic but that something of this scale has absolutely happened before
Man... i'm feeling so bad for her, and it's only part 1. I'm hating this guy already. I want to know how to make a character as motherfckingly horryfying as this "Burns" guy. Proper name tho
Just like... put her in a cabin to work on some Safe-class object and send reports via carrier pigeon?.. Edit: The narrator does suggest sending her to a cabin, so I'll be eagerly waiting for pt 2
I stopped watching 30-ish minutes in to go read the article... I'm gonna like this video and the next, but, I don't think I can stomache listening to what I just read. Just, fuck... Reading the author's comment was a punch in the gut.
@@DoucantNevrneir I appreciate it. 🙂8980 itself was a blend of some experiences from me, some from friends, and some from written sources I've read. The world can be a real fucked up place.
I will save my personal thoughts until the end, but this skip gives me Psychosis vibes, which high praise considering I consider it one of the best creepypastas ever written
Oh no bro I just got to the part where she wants out. This guy is such a bum the way he tells her to be reasonable despite her literally being the most professional person given the circumstances makes me crashout
Wow. I took a look at the comments and decided to just read this one for myself and... I cried just from how strongly repulsed I was after finishing this article. I can't even put it into words how much disgust I felt. What a stellar article.
I was desensitized to reality ending anomalies I was not prepared for spirit crushing ones. this scp reads like someone had a bad experience in a psych ward, and as someone whose been there done that uh yeah. This guy is male doctors. The feeling of being trapped in a room while you try to explain your illness to a guy that just thinks you're delusional is uh. Not fun. I don't know if I have it in me for part 2 and i'm glad i made it through part 1.
if you had that experience and its made you feel this reluctant about listening to part 2, I both highly recommend you do (because its a very good story) and very highly recommend you don't see part 2. It gets so much worse, and while it made for one of the most incredible pieces of horror fiction i've read in a while, it is also not to be taken lightly.
Misogyny, psychological abuse, trauma, gaslighting, psychological violence, neglect. Just the stuff we want for our scary science fiction story about spooky anomalies.
Not UA-cam being it's usual shit self and suppressing this video. I have you set to ALL notifications. It's nowhere to be found in my feed. Thank fuck for recommendations. The fact I am halfway through your 11 hour combo video probably helped with that one too.

incredible work 🖤🖤🖤i don’t think i’ve ever been so. frustrated? by a fictional character lmao. keep up the good work
I haven't read this one yet but now I will, because I have a very good idea where it's going.
I LOVED THIS ONE IN THE PHOBIA COLLABORATION! YOU DID AWESOME YOSSI!
Your work is fucked up, 10/10
You fucked me up dawg you did amazing holy shit instant classic HELP

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Neither 8980 nor 8066 refer to each other, is this in reference to a tale?
@lightningkatana10 Yeah, it's the SCP-8066 Fear Files if I remember correctly.
@@lightningkatana10the 8066 Fear Logs
Oh crap, is this the one I think it is?
Dammit. It is...

Ah yes, by far the most viral SCP of the year. Been seeing even people wholly unaware of the site talking about this one. It's one hell of a read.
Same as it ever was. And always will be.
It ruined scp for me.
Yup. It rushed through the top SCPs of all time without the help of an accessible number like 8000.
why did it become so famous? only a few min in so maybe i havent got to the good part yet
Oh no… it’s this one. *shudders*
How bad does it get?
Yeah can we get some heads-up on the extent to which this is horrifying/disgusting/traumatic/fourth thing?
@@RorysHappyHouse I usually don't mind stories about this kind of stuff, but this one is absolutely vile take the content warning extremely seriously

Borassca mentioned
I have spawned
You are a creepy man, but who be creeping they cast?
The worst thing is, im not even sure Borrasca is a fictitious story. Some elements were just too detailed for fiction.
@filipgustafson7663 who up creeping they cast?????
Oh shit, buckle up everybody it's about to get rough.
Excellent narration as always 👍
This one wasn't even in my subscription feed, I found it in my recommended
Same thing here.
SCP-8980 has gone somewhat viral due to the hardcore themes it contains
Welcome to the simple world of SCP
Jep, same here. Yt really doesn't want us to sleep in peace with that mans voice

SCREW THAT MAN
MR. BYRNES IN RELIGIOUS HEK
This author made imo the scariest thing on a supernatural horror website a normal dude
Ah yes, the average ActivisionBlizzard workplace experience.
Damn, I wasn't expecting you to cover this one. Bold move, Mangg. Bold move.
Last SCP of the year, let’s see it in action.
How is it?
Head Researcher Byrnes makes Director Emerson look like a school bully.
I was so intrigued by this one I went and just read the whole article....man I need to take a shower or something, the ending was just brutal
This is one of the relatively few SCPs that's actually made me cry, it's so...real and thorough and utterly horrific that it just kind of wrecks you
Hope your all ready, cause it's gonna get so much worse in part 2
This is one of your best ones yet, you really are an amazing narrator Happy New years and may you prosper in 2025 my friend!
Thanks for the warning, not listening to this one before bed tonight.
That is wise of you... this one hits hard as f@ck
Agreed. Mangg is my usual night time listen but I can't handle the realistic horror at bedtime
If it makes you feel any better, this part is relatively fine.
It does end with a sort of cliffhanger with "things get much worse" so take your pick
@@greeniegogo Yeah, I listen to fantastical horror to avoid thinking about real horrors. Still listening to it, just not when my subconscious has its armour down.
@@cubed.public I tend to wait until multiple parts are out anyway, to avoid cliffhangers.
You know it's gonna be deep and good when TES has to put trigger warnings at the start!
truly the best/worst scps are the ones where it's just stuff that happens in real life.
We eating good
*sees the title*
Oh no
TRULY OH NO
I like the Ethics Committee Specialist and his role.

She's an anomaly, tough luck. Getting locked up in containment sucks but she is even allowed socialization and work and all that.

Brother, you aren’t ready
Poor soul … your not ready for part 2.
Commenting half for algorithm sake (keep up the excellent work Mangg
I’m calling it now: Byrnne is causing the anomaly effecting Lillian.
My guess is you should correct that to "caused". It is the ultimate tool for manipulation in the Foundation to cause someone to have an anomaly they can't get rid of
Perfect timing. I can't sleep for shit tonight. 😅
Knowing this SCP, I don't think I'd be able to sleep after it.
@plinfan6541 you are in fact, correct. O.o
All these comments are making me scared as hell ngl
Edit: read the article myself. Jesus christ.
Happy holidays my friend. Been loving the channel for years
Imagine an scp so legit evil it actually has trigger warnings. This was just vile to put that lady through 😢
It gets worse...
@AManChoosesASlaveObeys Much worse for her 😭
Being a sapient SCP being forced to be contained is both sad and terrifying
You know what's worse?
Being gaslit into _thinking_ you're an SCP
Never seeing your family or friends, being confined to a small room, all your actions requiring permission from someone else, being subjected to tests and knowing you can never leave. The standard treatment is pretty dehumanizing.
Alert security that we have a likely Serpent's Hand sympathizer on premises.

THERE it is. My scrolling was getting concerned.
thanks for the cliffhanger comment at the end
I feel so bad for Lillian, such a good article but ugh it hurts my heart, I just want to hug her
OH GOD NO IT’S HAPPENING
…hell of a way to kick off the New Year eh?
Just read this one the other day and I think the thing that makes it so horrifying isnt just that it’s realistic but that something of this scale has absolutely happened before
I read this one in an airport during a trip to Germany, and my god was it just a horrific read. So well written, glad I read it, but goddamn.
Man... i'm feeling so bad for her, and it's only part 1. I'm hating this guy already. I want to know how to make a character as motherfckingly horryfying as this "Burns" guy. Proper name tho
You know it’s gonna be a good one when he gives trigger warnings
Oyeah I remember reading this one when it was newer. The level of quality was crazy but it was too f’d up oh lawd it’s a morbanger
Given Byrne's current behavior I really hope I'm wrong about what he scrubbed from that interview.
Just like... put her in a cabin to work on some Safe-class object and send reports via carrier pigeon?..
Edit: The narrator does suggest sending her to a cabin, so I'll be eagerly waiting for pt 2
The first time I read one beforehand... Christ...
TES: In a perfect universe...

4 minutes in and I have a sinking feeling there’s no anomaly
