This is such an excellent adaptation. The care and attention to detail, even extending beyond what's actually in the file, is incredible. This article is very personal, and it's beyond satisfying to see someone lavish that much effort on presenting it well. You really are fantastic at what you do, and I couldn't be more grateful.
I'm really happy to see your article on this channel!! It is one of my favorites you've ever done. Seriously emotional stuff with some great imagery to boot.
@@ratkingthegreat7161 Thanks :D Always means a lot coming from such an awesome artist.
Your story brought me to tears, and inspired me to read all of the On Guard 43 canon just to fully experience Wynn and Viv's story.
@@harryblank43 This is indeed a very emotional and tragic tale you wrote. It just shows how sometimes many if not a large portion of the Foundation “especially the O5” claim they have humanity’s benefit on their mind, but show a huge lack of humanity and morality in their cruel and selfish actions.
I’ve got to say, depending on the canon, sometimes the O5 can be absolute heartless bastards.
@@NolanRyanVA Thank you! I'm relieved to hear a statement like that which I know I can actually fulfill lol
oh jeez... finding out they were significant others and not just friends or coworkers made it a hell of a lot sadder :( its awful losing someone you love like this
Idk if it's intentional but this SCP is a really good metaphor for dementia, reminds me of my grandma when she was still with us. She was brilliant, it breaks my heart that she went through what she did.
Yeah, I think the intent was that he became a reality bender while suffering from dementia, and that just messed him up even more.
That's what I was thinking
The Sundown Protocol, then, is a fitting procedure. Thought the same here.
My mother did too
Ah yes, the mental illness virtue signal.
idk if the author has dealt with people who went through dementia or alzheimer's but when i heard the part "Please find attached one page of words. theyre the right ones." that fucking hurt something deep in my soul dude. i had to pause for a couple minutes
Thanks for the Christmas present of depression, Mangg. The perfect soundtrack to this particular SCP would be Everywhere At The End Of Time
Hmm, where's it from?
@@michaelandreipalon359 youtube
IUUGGGGHH SHUT UP NOT FUNNY
@@michaelandreipalon359 what 'from'?
This channel has quietly become the home for the scp univesre. This dude goes crazy and always teaches me all of the scp lore
he's a great narrator and explainer
Over a year later and can confirm TES is still the quintessential home for scp lore , and a damn good one at that
Goddamn. HarryBlank really hit home for me with this story.
Besides the phenomenal storytelling, looking at the comments he gave in the article's discussion page it's obvious he made this story from a deeply personal place, and it's a place I understand far too well.
It's clear to see how the reality bending the Doc has is a metaphor for Alzheimer's, as we can further see in his messages to Vivian. I don't know what Harry has/is going through related to that, but my mother is in the early stages of Alzheimer's and the dialogue he gives in his messages to Vivian are all too similar to the few moments my mother is effected by her illness.
A sad story, but not necessarily in a solely depressing way. A tale of someone watching a person they love slowly lose themselves over time to something they have no control over, and wanting desperately to help them.
You know that Alzheimer's diseases are shadow memory eaters, they are siren entities from deep bellows that attach to the head by inflicting stress traumas of burnout and repression. Dance, manifesting yourself unapologetically and being unselfish helps to liberate from that mind limiting prison of strange imposings and norms of the limiting matrix of mediocrity. Smoke some weed maybe and do some art + cannabis oil!
I know that helpless feeling of wanting to do anything possible to help them keep their own identity and memories of the people who love them. It's like the slow inevitable squeezing of a sponge draining their sense of self and their experiences from them. It's a very difficult thing to watch someone you love so much go through something so confusing and scary and know that there's nothing you can do to stop it. You can only try to make their lives as comfortable as possible until they're freed of this world. I love you grandpa and I will cherish every moment of our time we had here together.
Another one to the "are we the baddies?" list of SCP articles.
Oh and a happy(belated) holidays to everyone!
It makes you question if the O5 even have any trace of humanity or moral sense in them. Really, often times they present themselves as emotionless tyrannical machines.
Hmm, still hoping we get more Avalons.
Same to you too.
Happy Sanguinala to you to.. my Manperor
I'd say the foundation is true-neutral.
@@michaelandreipalon359 funny enough, I find those more annoying than grimderp Foundation. They secure, contain, and protect. having a bunch of anomalies in "harmony" is more like the Serpent's Hand schtick
Working for the SCP Foundation means having to go over the moral boundaries. This organization is well above the law and the stuff they deal with could destroy a person mentally and quite literally.
When dealing with monsters, you often should be sure that you don’t eventually become a monster yourself, because not all monsters look like a monster.
Sometimes the worst monsters that go bump in the night isn't some flesh warped hellspawn, some night.arish voidthing from another world, or even that murderous teddy bear. Sometimes... It's the person you see in the lunch line every day, you see serving the lunch, hell. Could just be that civilian on the side of the street.
In the SCP universe, humanity is as much a skip as what they contain
We die in the Dark, so you can live in the Light.
And yet it's "Archon" and not "Thaumiel". It's a Thaumiel-class object, but they hide from the fact that they're exploiting it.
"Discovered the cure for gravity". 🤣🤣🤣
Love it.
The situation with Wynn has changed a great deal in recent years. The Foundation actually tired to help him sending down a drug that might help him. The drug does work but only for a limited time and even when sane Wynn has changed so much that he really does not want to leave. Knows he still has a part to play in future events maybe? Someone actually went down and visited him and got out with their mind intact. Someone attacking the Site broke into to where Wynn was and it didn't go well for them. In the current time some staff members know the Wynn is down there and do communicate with him. So it's gotten better for Wynn, if still not great. sm
The person that went down to visit him was Lyle Lilihammer (pre transition Lillian), no?
@@WD_Gaster66 Yes. (pre transition) And IIRC she is going to see him again in some future point. sm
@@WD_Gaster66 did Wynn magically turn him into a woman or what?
@@itsmevvacle6510 Have you never heard of a thing called "trans people"?
@@WD_Gaster66 no what’s that
As someone whos never met another person with my name, hearing it repeated over and over as an SCP certainly gave me the chills 😅
Their containment of this one is largely based on the loyalty of a man that is long since dead. While they probably have a means of dealing with him if he ever becomes a problem, there is still going to be a huge toll to be paid if he decides to go for a walk and is done with his imprisonment.
It seems ...unwise... to kinda-sorta contain a kinda-sorta mentally-unstable reality bender locked away in a place they want to escape from and desires their own life of suffering to end. Seems like a great way to induce a CK or XK event. O5-8 better hope Wynn doesn't figure out it was them that shackled him indefinitely. I think we're well-past the point where dumping a lake on him will cool that burning, likely psychotic rage...
This reminds me of my grandmother's last day...I went in to see her and all she could ask me was... are you here to kill me... God this brought tears to my eyes
Guys, we need this man to reach a million subscribers, he is almost there. He is undoubtedly one of, if not, the best SCP narrator out there.
The site 43 canon is something that I’ve tried to dive deeper into after reading the B&B decommission story (note that the story is also connected to another canon and a storyline). I want to see more of the SCP’s in this canon featured like “Doug” and the “Schriftstellers”, and definitely more SCP’s in the canon that I didn’t know.
Also the part where Vivian talked about the SCP’s brother is when I realized the SCP’s condition was a dementia metaphor. In the late savages of the disease, some would essentially be stuck in time, thinking that people who are dead in reality are alive, and thinking that some of their loved ones are children, even it they are much older in reality.
The fact that I know this because 1-2 days ago I watched a video essay about “The Fear of Forgetting” and this is what I watched today, kinda concerns me, since I’m a person with some superstitious beliefs due to a history with deja vu’s and a certain number that would appear before plenty of significant events.
I honestly wish there was a playlist for different cannons lol,cus it sounds neat
I didn't know Vivian was also a man's name in the UK
Just finished because I watched this at bedtime last night, and holy hell that is depressing as hell. And it happens all too often in real life. The exploitation of the elderly, that is. A lot of my family gets so old, Alzheimer's and dementia are almost certain. I have personal experience here, so it hits hard.
Happy holidays to everyone! Also, glad to see you covering an SCP from my favorite canon :)
I forgot to comment on this one as ive been saving it for a rainy day, and man im glad i saved it. This hit home in so many ways and with each new article you bring to the light, i remember how you are very much a voice actor. Amazing to see both an excellently written article and have it spoken out as intended
I can't explain to people why I'm addicted to The Exploring Series. It's for episodes like this. I just close my eyes and I can see it all. Thanx
*It's really 2am and TES uploaded a new SCP reading, the Universe hates me*
Every 2am. Weekly. On Sunday. Both a blessing and a curse.
@@itsspxctre4249 It's always at 3 AM where I live lmao
Merry Christmas the exploring series. Thank you for all the amazing content you put out. Hope you have a great time on your break
It really brings such comfort for me to listen to these I’ve come to really appreciate your videos thank you for all you’ve done with these videos I have pretty bad panic attacks and these really help put me in a better mindset to calm down and feel content .Thank you
Happy birthday Cheesus
You deserve the break, thank you for all your videos ❤
My life is simple. I see new Exploring Series video, I click, and my serotonin, dopamine and endorphins spike.
I thought you were gonna take a break! This is a Christmas miracle!
Merry Christmas exploring series
Very good. I don't want to learn anymore, that was full and solid on it's own. It would have been so easy to write the SCP Foundation as making an exception for their own, but the emotional core hinges on them acting exactly as they should.
I live that you're covering some of the newer entries! Keep up the great work!
You have grown greatly over the last year. Your storytelling is beyond amazing now. Keep up the great work! Glad I stuck around since your younger times on here.
It’s 3am on Christmas…what a delightful gift! Watching this next to my tree that is well-lit🎄
Really appreciate how well you adapt stories and the voicing of multiple characters is getting better ! Keep up the great work. 🙏💖
please do way more from this canon I'd love to see it done in your style.
Dude has it seriously been a week already? I hope you had a good holiday Vacation, and I'm glad you're back with some great content so soon, but I hope you got all the time you needed
Right on time to an upload! I really enjoy your videos
Happy holidays guys!
good lord The Exploring Series posting some bangers during the holidays this year
Thank you for finding the time to make a video about me
Yet again another perfect video to keep me sane while I clean my flat
I swear I look forward to these readings more than any Tv show or channel series. Please keep up the awesome work. It's very much enjoyed.
Thank you for the Article. Have a good time during your break.
A video right after Christmas (in my place, at least) before the coming break, TES? Thanks. Looks like my Gurren Lagaan binge will have to wait its end.
Have a great holiday, E.S.
Thank you “exploring” I’m so glad I found this channel. I’m almost excited in the morning to get up and go to work wondering what amazing stories I will here to take me away from the mundane
This, though tragic, was artfully done. As always, TES never disappoints and is what got me through the Midwestern blizzard.
Hey TES! Your channel introduced me to SCPs and how fascinating they could be, I happened to stumble onto your very first SCP video and was hooked immediately. A lot of things happened since that day including moving through 4 different countries and many more schools than what might be considered normal, but throughout all of that, I'm proud to admit that I've never missed a single one of your videos. Sometimes it was the only constant I could look forward to in my life and I'd just like to say thank you for making them. Happy new year🎉
edit: spelling
SCP is interesting and all, but this youtuber used to do a variety of video topics. But alas he's become the SCP channel for me and I don't like it.
Damn, got here right after you posted. Needed help falling asleep, so thanks lol
Nice Christmas gift . MERRY CHRISTMAS TES
Goddammit, that the second time in as many months I've finished one of these stories with grit in my eye. Shows the Foundation as a necessary evil and the human cost. Excellent tale well told
This was amazing and I'd love to hear more about this cannon
A final masterpiece to the start the hiatus.
Always loved ypur content. Thamk you for your hard work.
Super love the format I've seen all of you videos and there all so amazing
Nice! Would love more tales from the Site 43 Canon, I wanted to get into it but it's kinda convoluted at first glance because it's so rich. And what I love about this channel is that it actually summarizes and tells u factually what the fuck happened, so yeah an in depth exploration ;)
You should see the next one SCP-5521 which talks about how Guy Fieri with his show going into a anomalous diner with adult octopus eating weird food.
'The cure for gravity' is a great quote.
Merry Christmas and new year I finally got my gift!!! Thank you
Yoooo i wasn't expecting to see this when u said you were going on a one month rest, nice xmas eve suprise right here
thanks bro Merry Christmas!
😭😭😭 I love love tragedies...The Good Work ought to be a heart-wrencher ... Thank you so much for your work.
Yo!
Happy late Christmas!
Thanks for the gift Exploring!
Came back here to say, after listening to SCP 7500, I too, weep for Dr. Wynn
If you're watching this and don't know what a DNR order is I suggest having that conversation with your medical provider and family. I work with people suffering from Alzheimer's/Dementia, vascular and traumatic brain injuries and this particular SCP hit pretty close to home.
Impeccable timing again ❤️❤️
Love the pic with the voice bar combo
The only thing I wish the Exploring series would add is some sort of signal at the end that tells you it's the end. For the audio listeners! It's always some run off sentence or monotone ending then almost 30seconds of silence doing the credits and I'm there tapping my ear bud and checking my signal to see whats going on at work but it's just the end of the video lol I love this channel, no other complaints 😁
I really like this one, the mixture of science and pathos is quite riveting.
Happy Holidays!🎄🎄🎄
Thank you so much for this wonderful gift. I lost my mom to dementia and as a metaphor it has no equal.
Thanks for the Christmas present
I cannot recommend The Good Work and all of the Site 43 hub enough
It has some of the most beautiful, funny, and heart wrenching tales in the entire Foundation
Oh, wow! This one is both brilliant, heartbreaking and absolutely horrifying. Probably one of the best SCP stories I've seen. What i can only assume is an analogy for dementia and the breakdown of the human mind, truly hits hard. Real SOMA vibes
This is a great way to finish the month.
This is one of the best scp stories I've ever heard
Enjoy your January break TES!
The Rabbit Hole, i remember how i got deep in there... it all started by watching Anthony Padilla spending a day with Vtubers, i was intrigued by Ironmouse's chaos and wholesomeness, and i watched a clip of her and i was like:
"who is this Connor guy everyone is talking about?"
Then i found a VOD of him and Mouse playing "It takes two" hilarious, dramatic, amazing.
Then i watched a collab with a chibi-looking monster called Pikamee and once again i had to crawl deeper into the hole... i found other Vtuber companies: Voms, Hololive, Nijisanji, Phase Connect...
And some independent ones like:
Snuffy, Shylily, Bao.
I don't know how much deeper this hole goes... it's actually UNFATHOMABLE...
Always hitting us with these at 3am lol... Luckily I party ALL NIGHT son
this was amazing
Hood Christmas buddy
Great Story Love your Channel keep going cool and great work thanks and greetings from portugal
Amazing, Exceptional.
This one got me. I actually cried.
I like when wynn is first starting too lose it and he's asking who it is and too stop flushing their crap down there lol 😅
whoever is the narrator behind this feature videos sounded like he's the official SCP Foundation archivist & historian
although he enunciates concise , article-length file transcription , very much sounded like the high school dean speaking as keynote graduation exercise long harangue , explaining in length about the subject in great detail so good that he's capable of editing a full set of encyclopedia or classic thick dictionary
the long talk stimulates me to fall asleep but seriously , two thumbs up for this act 🤓
Hope you have a good break bro, definitely deserved
Merry Christmas
Down the rabbit hole, again...
Yeah, I’ve see this too many times irl for it not to hit hard. If there is one thing that terrifies me it’s loosing who I am and understanding those I love.
Trying to stop it but nothing worked and losing your mind to something out of your control. That's some heavy stuff. I'm definitely interested in seeing some other parts of this cannon covered sometime. This is a beautiful yet tragic story. It was done really well here.
Merry Christmas yall
"we havent invented enzyme design yet."
"oh. well let me know when you have"
kek
Godamn that end note to V got my ass teary eyed
Yeah. That was a good one. Enjoyed that :)
This is so devastating to listen to, because it's so well written. My grandfather died over the course of several years from louis body dementia, and I find myself remembering the years of watching him die slowly, confused and lost. He wasn't himself, he didn't know where he was and he couldn't be around anyone safely for significant lengths of time. He was a brilliant and insightful man, and he was a tenth of himself the last few years. I can't imagine what a world he could change based on the whims of his mind would've become then, but I think HarryBlank comes extremely close. Winn's final message is beautifully written and excellently put. I dream of the day that each person can indeed draw that line for themselves, because it would have spared my grandfather a great deal of misery, and I believe it would save many others as well.
What a treat!
Sometimes you need to be certain and cautious in who you give your loyalty to and what you do to show that loyalty, for you never know if it will have nightmarish consequences towards you that will result in great pain…even worse if it’s a pain that will never end.
Merry Christmas to US!
Some of yall really can't fathom that Vivian and Ashley are both men, and that both names were common unisex names throughout early 20th century Britain.
Baby cry?
Hard to understand at points but basically reality bending and time travel persey. Possibilities that Wynn made modifications to the entirety of SCP timelines and personnel.
