    • @Smapti
      @Smapti 3 роки тому +87

      In my personal SCP headcanon, Santa is real, everyone knows he's real, and the Foundation's official policy on him is basically "There's no covering this one up, so let's just make sure he can do his thing without anyone messing with him". My tale "How Dr. Clef Saved Christmas" is pretty much about that relationship.

      @SolarRain03 3 роки тому +22

      I think it's due to the weekly uploads, unique style, and late upload time. For instance he uploads at 12:00 AM on Mondays for me, and with other things I can find a surplus. Even if a person only uploads one video, many others will upload similar content. TheVolgun and similar channels upload similar content, but much slower, as they are more specific and thorough. Overall, it makes mangg's videos that much more of a tweet.

      Well it was 1666, not 666; and the "number of the beast" isn't 1666. The number has got more to alchemy, I think, than anything in the Bible (which doesn't even talk about "fallen angels" or satan/lucifer ect. That was in the book of Enoch, which is in the Tanakh and the Red Sea Scrolls. I've read the Bible front cover to the back; and there's mentions of devils and evil spirits but not "the Devil"; there's mention of Angels (which are bloody terrifying!) but no fallen angels. All the really cool stuff from the Judeochristian mythos was left on the cutting room floor during the rise of the Roman-Catholic Church in 380 AD and their adaption of the Tanakh into the Bible.
      Pity, really, because Enoch came up with some _really_ crazy shit!

      These days, he's the 8th Viscount of Westminister. I originally referred to him as the 7th and referred to him as the 8th later on because I'd forgotten what I wrote earlier. I've chosen not to fix it one way or the other because those kind of inconsistencies are part and parcel of the pulp adventure stories that inspired Lord Blackwood, and because he was never meant to have a consistent backstory or internal timeline in the first place.
