Well there is the fact that Phthonus is the Greek god of jealousy. So it’s safe to assume that he was jealous of the success of the game and attempted to sabotage its players.

It's so incredibly agitating when everyone makes among us memes and says "sus" every few minutes. I've played the game once on my phone before, and for 8 minutes. I uninstalled it because of how incredibly boring and shallow the game was. I just don't get why people like the game, at all. This SCP article belongs in the trash. I'm pretty sure everyone who upvoted the article is below the age of 12.
I like how this article is about a god trying to combat his fade to obscurity at the mercy of the popularity of a fad. It’s made better by the fact that it’s main criticism is that it won’t age well because it’s overall premise seems like an attempt to gain popularity by being an Among Us meme.
Yup. I had to look it up. Even in the Greek mythology site it's a very short entry. Turns out he was basically a cosmic blabbermouth and instigator. F&%K him. Grant his wish. Let him stay dead.
Phthonus is just sad. We need to tell him that maybe he shouldn't be playing a game which will die soon, and instead go to Minecraft, because that's where everyone actually wants to go.
I'm not going to lie, I thought this was a -j at first but I was pleasantly surprised. Like, an ancient god that keeps getting revived against his will in ways that just embarrass and frustrate him shows some potential. Like the brutal murders and paranoia is just side effects of his existence that fade as he dies again. He's not malicious, just incredibly pissed and depressed. It could use a bit more to really be good, lean into the question of why the hell a forgotten Greek god keeps coming back, against his will. Have a couple other, older appearances of the SCP, maybe with something else that'd be dumb for him like as a message spelled out in pet rocks, "Why must I live again?" and then the factory workers all killed each other to try and be the only one with the rocks. Just some stuff like that and it goes from being something wierd popping up in a popular game to a reoccurring anomaly with popular trends. I know I sound like an idiot but this one honestly has some potential.
I think he doesn’t appear in any random fad, but instead is “summoned” by concentrations of paranoia. Among Us becoming massively popular was basically a bonfire of lowkey paranoia. A better historical example would be the Red Scare, or even the Salem Witch Trials.
@@UGNAvalon Both of which had ended up in the killing or tossing out of people, though the Red Scare was one man's paranoia, shouted out, and amplifying others' paranoia, if I had to recall it. Salem Witch Trials were mostly to figure out who was a witch, but all cases, they were to kill someone - innocent or "guilty."
@@edward9487 even 5167 itself mentions ppl getting homicidal in the beginning, before paranoid delusion symptoms eventually lasted only a couple weeks in the affected. it would make sense that paranoia from decades/centuries past would be more violent.
@@aghitsaplane4262 Hm... Considering their lax temperament in the diatribe, and the fact that they're a Greek god, I wonder if that's even a bad thing.
I find this scp to be actually really cool, even as a meme, An ancient god who is desperately clinging onto this world for relevance. Only to realise that inevitability doesn't care for whether you are a God or not. As he slowly decays, longing for the pain and misery to end. Even becoming so detached and flooded with nihilism that he takes an ingame question as a personal one about him.
@Fax Machine Nah, this fits surprisingly well. This was the most popular game at the time, so it'd make sense why he'd clung to it since at the beginning, he seems to be trying to gain relevance again, but now that it's popularity and relevance is dying, he just wants it to end quickly and die along with it.
Satrio Sukarji Yeah it’s a shame so many people think it’s cool to hate everything that’s popular, because this is actually pretty cool when you understand the Greek god context. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not even close to some of the really good SCPs, but I’m still happy it exists

No, the distinction is that -js are entirely nonsensical [killing 682 is entirely in that category] This article is only nonsensical in its premise It's a dead Greek guy who is lashing out because people forgot him And he's lashing out in a game that is fading from people's memories, thus making the article a classical comedy [tragedy + time] I personally do not like it, but it could be seen as a genuinely interesting SCP It's not "the funny space bean man appears behind you and calls you sus" It's "I am angry that I was forgotten and I will lash out through this game that is being forgotten"
Wait what No is there an among us SCP this isn’t even a -J SCP WHAT Edit: okay now I’m gonna go into Among Us games with Phthonus as my name and see if I can scare anybody
@@toasteduranium same reason that scp-4252 is -J; there isn't any rules about -J scp (or none that are enforced ?) it's up to the author tbh they should just remove the -J nomination. It make no sens that articles like scp-___-J are considered "too silly to be real SCPs" but stuff like this scp or 4252 are perfectly fine. either have a -J and use/enforce it or don't
I think that is the point here. Phthonus (the name the SCP is using in the game) is a Greek god who was propably pretty popular back in the ancient times but today almost no one remembers him, his wikipedia article is really just three sentences.
Even though the creator entirely didn’t want him to be one, but people fucking forced it into the canon anyway. Scps are fucked if we don’t tighten the filter. The community is changing hands and newcomers need to recognize what makes our community great is creativity, not just mindlessly saying “aha that’s mildly spooky, SCP time”
Kind of a shame how many people dismissed this one out of hand just cause it deals with among us in its subject matter. It's actually pretty cleverly written.
Oh God vore jesus! I remember when someone reccomended that to me in the irc chat! I think it was Dyslexion who told me about it when I was talking about one of her cursed articles she was like "bro imma show you something much more cursed"
I'm starting to get the feeling the fact that this was born to suck is the entire point, considering Phthonus's desperation for validity and realizing how futile it was.
@@bdletoast09 I disagree. It's a fairly solid meditation on how Among Us will eventually end up just like Phthonus. Eventually something as big as a god will inevitable become barely notable. I can't see how anyone can see that as anything short of fascinating.
This will age worse than the Minecraft SCP. The only good part about this SCP article is the diction. It's too short to provide anything interesting and is just a massive reddit moment.
I don't know what's more hilarious, the entry itself or the fact that this would've been immediately rejected if the author didn't have rep in the community.
While I feel like this should clearly be a joke, man does this God dude feel relatable. That kinda speech he gives at the end is very much so observant of modern culture and civilisation. Surprised me quite a bit.
well, how would you react if you were a god that have been worshiiped for eons and then you've been forgotten and then come back and see how mankind have changed. . I feel the pain that dude have felt.
People are judging without even fucking reading it. thats the point, how everything nowadays just passes quickly, first you see a meme, and 2 days later, theres a new one, and the same one is "dead" thats the point, hell, even the ARTICLE says that 5167 cognitohazardness is fading away each day, each month, and by the year, it wont be nothing *but a faint memory.*
This whole "modern man is an ignorant shell of its former self" thing hits harder after finishing the most recent expansion in a certain MMO I won't name.
I find it an empty cliche. If our ancestors could see the wonder and spectacle we now fill our lives with they would be in awe. Just remember in Ancient Greece so few people thought critically that it was actually a job for the few that could do it.
Here you go “In Greek mythology, Phthonos /ˈθoʊnəs/ (Greek: Φθόνος, Phthónos) was the personification of jealousy and envy, most prominently in matters of romance.

It's so incredibly agitating when everyone makes among us memes and says "sus" every few minutes. I've played the game once on my phone before, and for 8 minutes. I uninstalled it because of how incredibly boring and shallow the game was. I just don't get why people like the game, at all. This SCP article belongs in the trash.

I like how this article is about a god trying to combat his fade to obscurity at the mercy of the popularity of a fad.
It’s made better by the fact that it’s main criticism is that it won’t age well because it’s overall premise seems like an attempt to gain popularity by being an Among Us meme.

Technological Broadsword “ignore meme game I don’t like and instead go to meme game I like”
I'm not going to lie, I thought this was a -j at first but I was pleasantly surprised. Like, an ancient god that keeps getting revived against his will in ways that just embarrass and frustrate him shows some potential. Like the brutal murders and paranoia is just side effects of his existence that fade as he dies again. He's not malicious, just incredibly pissed and depressed. It could use a bit more to really be good, lean into the question of why the hell a forgotten Greek god keeps coming back, against his will. Have a couple other, older appearances of the SCP, maybe with something else that'd be dumb for him like as a message spelled out in pet rocks, "Why must I live again?" and then the factory workers all killed each other to try and be the only one with the rocks. Just some stuff like that and it goes from being something wierd popping up in a popular game to a reoccurring anomaly with popular trends. I know I sound like an idiot but this one honestly has some potential.
I think he doesn’t appear in any random fad, but instead is “summoned” by concentrations of paranoia. Among Us becoming massively popular was basically a bonfire of lowkey paranoia.
A better historical example would be the Red Scare, or even the Salem Witch Trials.
@@UGNAvalon Both of which had ended up in the killing or tossing out of people, though the Red Scare was one man's paranoia, shouted out, and amplifying others' paranoia, if I had to recall it.
Salem Witch Trials were mostly to figure out who was a witch, but all cases, they were to kill someone - innocent or "guilty."
@@edward9487 even 5167 itself mentions ppl getting homicidal in the beginning, before paranoid delusion symptoms eventually lasted only a couple weeks in the affected.
it would make sense that paranoia from decades/centuries past would be more violent.

@@aghitsaplane4262 Hm... Considering their lax temperament in the diatribe, and the fact that they're a Greek god, I wonder if that's even a bad thing.
I find this scp to be actually really cool, even as a meme,
An ancient god who is desperately clinging onto this world for relevance. Only to realise that inevitability doesn't care for whether you are a God or not. As he slowly decays, longing for the pain and misery to end.
Even becoming so detached and flooded with nihilism that he takes an ingame question as a personal one about him.
@Fax Machine Nah, this fits surprisingly well. This was the most popular game at the time, so it'd make sense why he'd clung to it since at the beginning, he seems to be trying to gain relevance again, but now that it's popularity and relevance is dying, he just wants it to end quickly and die along with it.
I like the idea but the fact that he is in an game just ruins it
Satrio Sukarji Yeah it’s a shame so many people think it’s cool to hate everything that’s popular, because this is actually pretty cool when you understand the Greek god context.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not even close to some of the really good SCPs, but I’m still happy it exists

In Greek mythology, Phthonos /ˈθoʊnəs/ (Greek: Φθόνος, Phthónos) was the personification of jealousy and envy, most prominently in matters of romance. In Nonnus's Dionysiaca, he is by proxy the cause of Semele's death, having informed Hera of Zeus's affair with the princess. He also appears in Callimachus's Hymn to Apollo, goading the god into an argument.

@@Axarch Yeah, I honestly doubt so much thought went into that. In my humble opinion, it was just "lol amogus"
@@bdletoast09 You're real fun at parties, aren't yeh?
I hate this so much, even more that it's actually a good SCP. That last part makes it awesome.
This will age worse than the Minecraft SCP. The only good part about this SCP article is the diction. It's too short to provide anything interesting and is just a massive reddit moment.
@@Doomguy617 that’s literally the whole point
When the joke SCP doesn't have a J at the end of it.
Guess this joke Skip is an impos-
Imagine a foundation member scrolling through reddit and seeing a "when the imposter is sus" meme
Even better, imagine a relatively new foundation researcher looking through the files and just seeing one of them labeled "When the imposter is sus"
Scp:
“We’re re-writing 682 cuz he’s boring and bad”
Also scp: among us scp sure cool
You're not wrong.
Of course you'd be here
They're rewriting 682?
@@umcaraqualquer9555 people started calling 682 a Gary Stu. Not even kidding
But 682 is a Gary Stu, even Chuck the biggest 682 fan is admitting it
I don't know what's more hilarious, the entry itself or the fact that this would've been immediately rejected if the author didn't have rep in the community.
While I feel like this should clearly be a joke, man does this God dude feel relatable. That kinda speech he gives at the end is very much so observant of modern culture and civilisation. Surprised me quite a bit.

@@GermanKinsmen what about anime against neckbeard
well, how would you react if you were a god that have been worshiiped for eons and then you've been forgotten and then come back and see how mankind have changed. .
I feel the pain that dude have felt.
@@brotheralaric7177 I generally feel that pain everyday lol. Maybe not to that extent but it dies make me weary and depressed
People are judging without even fucking reading it.
thats the point, how everything nowadays just passes quickly, first you see a meme, and 2 days later, theres a new one, and the same one is "dead"
thats the point, hell, even the ARTICLE says that 5167 cognitohazardness is fading away each day, each month, and by the year, it wont be nothing *but a faint memory.*
This whole "modern man is an ignorant shell of its former self" thing hits harder after finishing the most recent expansion in a certain MMO I won't name.
In spite of that sad fact, let us remember that they once lived.
Pray return to a time before the world of man moved on.
What mmo?
I find it an empty cliche. If our ancestors could see the wonder and spectacle we now fill our lives with they would be in awe. Just remember in Ancient Greece so few people thought critically that it was actually a job for the few that could do it.

I’m losing my mind... I’m going insane... make it end
I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to make this one into a J scp. It's decently written, but too on the nose for its own good.
this made me think. would the foundation research every urban legend, creepypasta etc. in case its actually an anomaly needed containment..?
I do love that Pthonus was a minor god who got so "sus" of the loyalty his multiple wives he killed them.
PthongUs
He literally does have three sentences on Wikipedia.
What?
what are the sentences? it's been bothering me
Here you go “In Greek mythology, Phthonos /ˈθoʊnəs/ (Greek: Φθόνος, Phthónos) was the personification of jealousy and envy, most prominently in matters of romance. In Nonnus's Dionysiaca, he is by proxy the cause of Semele's death, having informed Hera of Zeus's affair with the princess. He also appears in Callimachus's Hymn to Apollo, goading the god into an argument.”
HP Lovecraft as a game developer: Your myth formed over a thousand generations of blood and tears shall be recreated as a means of momentary entertainment for teenagers already apathetic to life who can’t begin to understand what you represented to their ancestors, nor care to so long as they can use your artists representation to slay a randomly appointed opponent in mock combat that fails to stir even a momentary emotion, in any way.
SCP-5167: ... let me stay dead, I’m tired.
HP Lovecraft: No, I got bills.
HP Lovecraft: gotta make those greens for the missus and the cat
S- so this is canon now😭
sus
Sussy yes
Due to the whole non Canon thing it's your choice.
Anything is canon if you're brave enough
Unfortunately.
Saw the title come up as a notification and had to squint at my screen for a second
The funniest part of this is when 5167 is going on his monologue and you could hear the Among Us votes being cast in the background
Phthonus' Wikipedia page literally has only 3 sentences describing them lol, the rest is about his female counterpart, Nemesis, lol
What is Nemesis?
His more well known sister and counterpart, Greek goddess of violent revenge and retribution.
@@erikhieronymus7015 goddess of Revenge

I have never wheezed so hard at an SCP reading before
I'm disappointed that this is actually pretty well written...
It's like the minecraft scp (a welt in the crucible), you really expect cringe but it's pretty good.
ALSO YOU DO THIS AND DON'T DO 4040?
Also is not even -J, so this is a serious SCP in the communnity...
He covers this, and not 2639.
sus

"A World where all my legacy is 3 fucking sentences on Wikipedia"
Damn thats deep
Phthonus is just sad.
what is this referencing?
“I am one of the few who remember the old times, when the tombs of great heroes were fresh and legends was fresher. I was there to see great wonders long since gone and forgo-“
*(Phthonus was the imposter)*
“gg ez game lol”
