"I understand art less and less the more we discuss it"
That's how you know the explanation of art is working.
Nah
When you cannot distinguish art from everything else, art has ceased to exist and you're just confused.
Just because something exists does not make it art, and just because you call something art does not make it so either.
All this art confusion is just snobbery and elitism disguised as intellectual hot takes
@@mrvoltem9379 it's a joke. An old one.
@@dragonsnail3298 ah aight
Sarcasm does not translate well over text
@@dragonsnail3298I commented on an art video. People believe what you said unironically and passionately.
I like when Carteckan slaps the paint on the canvas and then asks Sias if this is art and is he an artist. He is an alien to earth and the moment he painted it, it was the most priceless piece of art to ever exist
The thought of them finding comfort in us existing made me tear up. I love the concept of a species being happy that they are not alone in the universe.
Why on earth did they not just take a few USB drives with instruction manuals, load the entire 8 keradids and their eggs onto a pod and send them to earth where we could then help them do some cloning or something, and with that data stored maybe even build a new wormhole generator thingy and get them back to their homeworld where they can finally repopulate it.
@@atashgallagher5139 That's like asking your dog to rebuild your transmission. If they couldn't figure it out themselves, it was well beyond humans.
And being happy that HUMANS are the other thing in the universe.
@@atashgallagher5139 or get a copy of their information, and coordinates. Humanity would figure out their tech someday and with their universal coordinates they'd be able to meet them again.
@@atashgallagher5139first off, karadids have been going extinct for thousands of years, so they probably dont have too many ships so they cant just all go to earth. And why do you think HUMAN usb stick would be compatible with ANY karadid tech? They are far removed from humans so their tech is almost certainly far removed from anything weve even thought of
Hey! I’m the author of this work! Thank you so much for covering it, I’m honored and grateful that you would share it with your audience!
To answer some confusion- Sias’s daughter is adopted. More is going to be explained in future works!
(Sorry for a second comment, shouldn’t have added links to my old one without asking first 😅)
I want to start off saying that this was a really nice story. It was beautifully written and full of pathos.
That said, there is a bit of a problem with how much of a story it is. I personally miss when SCP articles were dossiers and reports rather than a barely-veiled Tale.
Not to say that you cannot have a story within the SCP, but it really should unfold via experiment, exploration, and interview logs. The cutaways to the Keradids speaking to each other stand out, as they don't seem to be speaking with any manner of recording devices or something that is picked up by any manner of communication instruments that we have (such as radio signals). Same with the section at the end, when the story continues on well after Sias leaves Nest. Nice as they are, these moments end up taking me out of the story due to not fitting the traditional format.
All of that bitching aside, what I really want to do is ask you why did you choose to format it in this manner rather than making a more agency-like article?
@@LordIsrafel simply put- an SCP article is a short story pretending to be a government document. It’s been that way for years, even back to Series 1 days. This formatting fit the story I wished to tell, and everything was done intentionally to establish my characters and build to the ending.
An SCP is a story. Has been for a long time. This isn’t a barely disguised tale- the anomaly involved is still the main focus. While it’s a shame you were taken out of it by that formatting choice, I’m glad you were still able to appreciate the narrative in the end.
Incredible story, had me teary eyed at multiple points throughout it... Really looking forward to your future articles ^^
@@LordIsrafel I think you need to open your mind to other possibilities. You have a very narrow, prescriptive view of how SCPs should be presented. There's no rulebook for this. It's a community writing project; one of the underlying points of such things is to have different styles and perspectives. You're allowed your preference, absolutely, but to say that someone 'really should' do things in a certain way in this kind of scenario, like a teacher marking a student's work... comes across as pretty arrogant, if I'm honest. It's true that this story could be told in many other universes/franchises with a little adaptation, and I too enjoy the 'report' format, but there's nothing wrong with this approach.
Hello fable, an amazing work, i would certainly wish for a part 2.
Never thought I'd shed tears over a human and an alien cockroach exchanging portraits of each other. This is an amazing story and was written beautifully.
Not an alien cockroach. 😂
isn't it a grasshopper?
It’s a mantis
That's disrespectful!
Don't use Keradid slurs >:(
i emplore you listen to avalon. that one had me balling my eyes out
I've listened to every scp reading from Exploring and Volgun and this is the only one that has me standing in my back yard looking up at the stars with a drink in my hand trying not to weep while my wife and kids are asleep. This is art.
6001 didn’t get you? Always gets me thinking like you’re talking about
@@taylor5065 avalon was great but the only one that was close to the melancholy for me was Where the dragons went.
@@shanegreene6398 where the dragons when never really got me, but And the road stretches on did
Another one that gets me is SCP-1230 A Hero Is Born, just a sentient book with a dream wizard that wants to give people adventures and heroic dreams, and when one user, a researcher basically blackmails him into keeping him in the dreamworld for as long as possible on the threat of suicide, the researcher wakes up and kills himself…..and the wizard cries for the loss, blaming himself for the death of one he simply wanted to help dream. ALWAYS hits me right in the Feels. That and “Where the Dragons Went” and “Patchwork Bear”.
@@taylor5065 That's pretty different for me. And the Road Stretches on didn't get my feelings too bad. I think I came to terms with those ideas a long time ago. However, Where the Dragons Went turns me into a blubbering mess without fail.
This SCP brings into mind SCP-6001 - Avalon. Expected danger to come, but instead, it's just a nice breather between two people from different worlds. Even the ending changes things and makes the context sadder.
I concur! Such a hope I’ve only felt in 6001 - Avalon!
I love SCP's like this and Avalon, I think the speculative side of SCP is the most fascinating to me
Avalon just pissed me off, the people in that universe smugly declaring that the other universe wasn't worth saving and that it was somehow their fault that things weren't perfect.
They casually doomed billions to suffer and die for completely petty reasons. They are complicit in every single horrific thing that happens in the mainline SCP universe. It would be trivial for them to reach out and offer help, but they are too aloof and self-righteous to do so.
682 was wrong, that universe is disgusting.
@@ENCHANTMEN_ that's not what the avalon universe did, they closed the doorway to wait for the primary scp universe to be ready for contact.
@@liamzakhaev It would be utterly trivial to send a message that says "hey you could make everything good if you just do what we did", but instead they're allowing the mainline universe to go through immense suffering, countless horrific deaths, and potentially hundreds of XK-class scenarios & SCP-2000 resets before they arbitrarily decide that they are """ready""".
Who made them the arbiters of who is or is not worth saving? Why do they think it's the fault of all the victims in the mainline universe that they are being killed? Just for being born in the wrong universe?
Here I am after this video with tears starting in my eyes. This one hits different from most articles. This entry feels... possible. As if this could actually happen to us on earth. And there was so much humanity, but also dispare portrayed in the writing. But the ending gives me so much hope for these fictional groups. Seriously an amazing scp, this goes in my top 10 for sure.
Same, I was not expecting to get punched in the feels but this was quite a pleasant surprise. I will definitely be keeping an eye on the author.
Agreed. This is one is definitely top tier.
When we gaze into the stars how many eyes gaze back how many are blind to our existence and how many have long since closed forever . My astronomy professor said that to me on the first day of class . Jow many civilizations have crumbled away to dust and will we ever find their legacy before the same happens to us . Some people say finding out we are not alone is a scary prospect but to me finding out we are alone now is worse . Discovering a advanced race once existed but we where too late to meet them is heartbreaking
It left a similar sensation like some of those classic stories like Clarkes' The City and the Stars or Asimovs' Nightfall.
It's so different from the "agressive alien specie" trope. It's poetic and beautiful, self contained story, and it's enough to make you believe and, in my case, cry. Or more acurately sob
SCP-7999 is a wholesome story with a sad ending, kind of like “Where The Dragons Went”. I really enjoyed reading it
It is hinted at at the end that the alien species could have a chance, a chance to live and meet us again no matter how much time it will take.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS DRAGON STORY FOR SO GOD DAMN LONG. THANK YOU.
This is the sweetest SCP story I have ever heard. I appreciate authors that take the time to write something completely different like this in between other skips.
please watch scp avalon
it almost feels like this is the beginning of a version of the Foundation becoming more like "The Compendium" in the "Avalon" universe, deciding to release safe anomalies and actually engaging with another sentient species as equals.
Personally, I find the cruel and uncaring nature of the Foundation to be a cornerstone of the universe. I appreciate that they are merely the most powerful shady group in a world of shady groups, all with their own opinions on what should be done with anomalies. One sees them as things to kill and destroy, another as mere tools of profit. I really liked this story, but it doesn't... feel right. They just don't operate this way. "Secure, Contain, Protect." Not "Understand, Reason with, and Integrate." But hey, it's also arguably pretty boring to read about endless cruelty and unwillingness to accept change literally thousands of times
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 Hey, that's why Vanguard, from 6500, became its own (dual) canon
Yes, indeed. This SCP-entry mentioned Site-120 which is the setting of the canon called "From the 120s archive" where the Foundation is trying to become kinder and less harsh and cold, trying to re-integrate the Faeries into society and the like. That's why the Foundation seems so "nice" here probably, because this entry is likely set in that canon.
A canon to contrast this would be the "Site-17 Deepwell" where there is an emphasis on portraying the foundation as evil and corrupt. That one also has some great SCP entries that are less emotional and melancholic like this one and more mind-bending and twisty.
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 yeah, as I wrote in my other comment, there are canons where the Foundation is cold and cruel like Site 17 Deepwell and there are those where the Foundation is trying to change like From the 120s Archive.
That's what's so great about SCP there's something for everyone with all sorts of different genres and themes
@@WD_Gaster66 And From the 120s Archive actually has its own seperate dual No return timelines slightly different than the main Vanguard and Threshhold timelines!
In fact, there's this whole picture of all the Foundation timelines from the majority of the different canons (including From the 120s archive, Site 17 Deepwell, No return, Resurrectio, On guard 43, S&C Plastics, and so on) in some SCP entry that is about the multiverse.
I love this story. It’s so wholesome and hopeful. This species has entirely resigned itself to extinction and just wanted to find out they weren’t alone before their lights went out. At the last set of coordinates, in the twilight of their species, they found their neighbors at last. They are blown away by the advancement, the beauty, the joy that we humans feel and the depth of our lives in spite of their brevity.
Expression in art being an alien concept to them is so sad, but they pick it up so quickly!
The best part is that they were wrong. That they actually have their species continue with the eggs hatching once the mural is painted.
10/10 writing I can’t wait to see them again.
Wait oh shit, I thought the crackling was from the gateway closing or the interior of the cavern... LETS GOOOOOO
@@ImDaRealBoi that explains why the painting is in the article even though they're 32 billion lightyears away
@@ImDaRealBoi also the title makes sense since it's meet me in the stars implying that they both became space-faring civilizations and met again
It's not very often a feeling of hopelessness is communicated well across a medium. Many an SCP has the world or humanity threatened or wiped out completely, but 7999 has left me with the feeling that everything might just be alright.
Aren't you cool. So this is what you do for work
I love Carteckan's and Ketadanka's sense of wonder. The world is so beautiful if we put some effort in to look. An article has never made me cry like this.
Keep up the good work! Your impact on the SCP community cannot be *overstated
Seriously. At this point he’s a pillar of the community imo
That's certainly true. The kaktusverse became so much more accessible just because of the videos
Cannot be overstated you mean?
True
@@mattdelarosa6819 i think thts wht he meant lol
Those bugs just wanted somebody to remember them when they were gone.
I can't think of anything more human than than wanting that.
Thank you for all the work you've done to cover SCPs! I have dyslexia, and your videos make them much more accessible to me
Same for people with ADHD! The narrativisation and the minor tangents and addendums really feels like someone is explaining it to me.
That feeling when you don't have member, so you can't watch TES's content earlier.
Im just lazy and hate reading
he's just making it very accessible overall. i can listen to it while working out or working my dayjob. i wouldn't know which scp to read if i was to go on the website on my own
@@varun009 unless you enjoy reading fictional reports
I could read articles for days
But I can't read while doing something else
At least not well
I came here to laugh, not to feel.
Till we meet again, bug people.
Basically how I felt with Red vs. Blue.
Don't know when, don't know where.
Only one other SCP has made me experience as much emotion as this one did. Bravo to the author.
Which one?
@@Alleis SCP-6113.
@@miloknight585 Thanks, I'll check it out.
@@miloknight585 is that harbinger? Aka the bestest boi?
@@cookiecraze1310 No, 6113 is a two part anomaly in the form of an entity and a lake, but the actual narrative mostly uses it as a backdrop to tell the story of a contained child and the researcher who is tasked with interviewing them.
This is the most beautiful scp story ive ever heard, it even brought me to tears. Somewhere out there, so far away, the presence of such a form of life pursuing their own search for life.. for us, is inevitable.
im currently a minute and a half into this and im already getting the urge to watch Interstellar again. seriously major interstellar vibes here
Amphibia and SCP-6001 vibes for me.
I couldn't sleep to this one, I was so moved and engaged with the story, it left me thinking and pondering about the stars. Great video as always, thanks!
🥲
Wow what a beautiful story. Just imagine this screenplay in the hands of one of the great film directors with a nearly unlimited budget - it would be a masterpiece...
Guillermo del Toro.
Begin the movie with SCP-7711 and continue it with SCP-7999. It will be a gorgeous film about being alone and together in the universe.
the moment i heard the " he almost heard the sound of something cracking" my tears fell down from my eyes, a very wonderful scp, it really feels so personal for me. so long bug people
Stories like this tend to really ground me, and give me a newfound appreciation for humanity as whole.
I always appreciate articles which let things play out like this. Even though the ending is sad it is beautiful to imagine that we are not alone, but those we find are friendly like us
The SCP Exploring Series has stories of Demons, Monsters, Mystery, War, Horror, Gore and more…but sometimes, when you least expect it, we get great stories like this. Thanks Man! Along with Avalon this is my new favourite!!!
This is a beautiful example of why the new style of scp stories are good in their own way. Well done, whoever wrote this.
I smiled when you compared this to SCP-6001, since that is so far my favorite story from the community. But this is a very close second, there's no danger, no grand dark scheme, just another group of beings who wanted to reach out and say "hello" to someone.... Anyone.
Someone in an earlier video brought this one up and I read it not too long ago. I'll have to hear this one later. I'm not in the mood for tear shedding. That painting part really got me.
And what sounds like... cracking.
@@michaelandreipalon359 It is an egg hatcing indeed, the author confirmed it in a response to someone somewhere in the three first pages of comments
This actually made me cry, this friendship was so beautiful and wholesome. The whole time I was hoping maybe they'd find a way to stay connected, or maybe more the aliens to Earth to save them. The fact that the eggs are hatching at the end..I need tissues.
I hope if we do encounter Aliens, it goes something like this. Shared knowledge and understanding, leading to the betterment of both species. That would be incredible for all involved
But unfortunately doesn't make for big budget hollywood movies 😆
K-Pax was nice.
That was emotional *spoiler* my headcannon is that the wormhole itself was causing the eggs to remain in a perpetual dormancy. The end is the beginning.
Hope springs eternal, as miraculously expected.
The wormhole was only open for a few weeks. The eggs were in dormancy for over a thousand years.
I think it's interesting to interpret the art as a creation of new hope, and that new hope being what the eggs needed to hatch. Their race had become deeply disillusioned with their failure to reach their goal of finding an intelligent race. Now that they have, and had discovered a new and beautiful way of viewing the world through artistic expression, they had real reason to live.
@@ironl4nd Hasn’t it only been open for that long in the context of it joining Earth and Nest?
It was mentioned that they’ve been looking through countless worlds prior. Well, that isn’t to say the portal is what’s causing the eggs to be dormant.
After all, their impending extinction was what lead to them doubling their efforts to find another intelligent species, which itself is what lead to the invention of the portal technology. So, the portal can’t be what was keeping the eggs unhatched.
Personally, I think the issue with the eggs being unhatched for a thousand or so years was a side effect of the war. Maybe an anomaly some members of their species created to preserve the eggs past the projected duration of the conflict, albeit with some overestimation as to how long they’d be at war. Admittedly, I’m just making guesses.
I literally just said, how good it would be to fall asleep to an scp from the exploring series. And bam, my world clock is becoming more precise and your videos always bring me joy❤️
I recall seeing this in the 7000 contest. Didn't really read it (was only wanting to get a brief idea what each entries were about), but it did catch my attention.
It's been long since the last time I was so hooked up on an SCP article. This one somehow gives me the emotions I had back when reading SCP-2273.
this story made me realize how we as humans value such huge things like the wonders of the world, or simple luxurious, opulent items. We as humans live such short lives to just waste time thinking and admiring big things or aspirations, when in reality the most beautiful things are usually the smallest most normal things in our lives.
I'm glad the ending had a cliffhanger of hope. I hope one day we'll see Kartigin again.
This is really melancholic, but I think these articles are the best.
The ones fixating on the story, not necessarily the scp itself
Would they call our weaponry "man made" or "alien made"? Still haven't figured that out.
Maybe earth made.
Terran made?
man made, probably. I mean, they aren't men. We are.
"Artificial," or "crafted" probably. "Technological," if their tech tends to be organic.
"earthly", i suppose, or "earthen"
Oh my God this is soo beautiful!!! Ahhhh! My feelings! Also I'm gonna assume the cracking noise is an egg hatching. The whould be really cool! This was such a good SCP!
I can confirm the cracking at the end was eggs hatching ☺️
@@fableamare2607 Yay!!! I'm happy!
I love the beauty of this piece because it points out the one small metaphorical paradox that lies within the SCP universe. The Foundation is always so fixated and focused on maintaining baseline “normalcy”. But you look at the human race and you see that we are all unique to one another in some way or another no two humans are truly the same, there is no normal with the human race so in a way the foundation is simply protecting its preferred anomalous behavior, what’s truly natural to a human? We exist to overcome nature.
Whelp time to start cranking out Ad Astra Per Aspera talea
This might just be one of my favorite SCP and i've seen all your videos and read many more scps on my own.
This story is just breathtaking in so many ways. The alien species being so advanced and yet so childlike when seeing new wonders while knowing very well they face extinction is just so sad to me :'(
Meet me in the stars but the stars do not wait for you!
One of the best articles I’ve heard. Lovely bittersweet story.
I love the song you made with Kalax calling. I listen to it often. Hard to believe I'm seeing you in an exploring series comment.
@@charismabrady9656 Appreciated! Glad you like the musik. I am a huge SCP fan :)
Two things we have in common ☺️ I'm so happy that you replied 🥰 better than an autograph 😎
I'm glad I now know which nights to stay up late on to catch your uploads. Thanks for all the great videos
Listened to this again today, and it still made me tear up at the end. There's something so heartbreakingly sweet about this blink-and-miss-it meeting of two worlds, something that could have, and still might happen again. We may never know it, or we might be transformed by it - just like a piece of art, such as this article.
15 min in I could tell this was going to make me feel the way 6001 would. I’ve loved scp since 2011, but I want it to move in this direction. I know this is probably just me and a few others, but it gives me a kind of hope to hear art like this like nothing else
That final line of "i'll see you at the stars" literally made me cry. Yo wtf i want to write like this too maaaaaaaan. Omg the "crack" in the distance. they are hatching. holy shit i'm crying.
I love how cartacan looks like a children, impressed by everything and curious to learn and understand what he's seeing, that’s exactly how the humans will be if we ever make contact with another sentient species, or even just been possible to land in another world.
Two things I'm thankful for. Number one this Channel and particularly this production. Outstanding! Number two whoever wrote this. I'm super thankful to them! I feel like part of the human experience is good stories told by people who tell them well.. whether handed down, learned, relearned, or just hatched from their own egg LOL! A good story will move you and you'll think about it often. This is one of those. Very moving. Very emotional. Very good. SCP is just something different all the way around and I'm glad I found it. Thanks to anyone and everyone who's had a part in it it's an amazing ride
Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed my story 💜
@Fable Amare !!! this is the best thing to happen to me all month!! You the MAN
This scp or story might just be one of the most beautiful ideas I have ever heard even though it is incredibly sad it had me looking up at the sky wondering.
BTW I'm not crying you are🤧
It gave me a 'Where the Dragons went' vibe. "We are sad. We love you. We will not Forget you. We are scared. Will You Forget Us?"
Every so often you read an SCP that tears my heart apart. First it was the Ouroboros Cycle, then 6001, and now this.
It's been 3years since I started listening and i am enjoying it ,ty.
You and me both bro
This is honestly and genuinely my favorite SCP so far. Words cannot describe how well written this is and how much I've enjoyed it. This is the first SCP to really get me right in the feels and I couldn't be happier to have listened to it. Also, your presentation of this article was phenomenal.
I rearly listen to the same thing more than once or twice. I enjoyed listening to this one a lot more than once.
36:40 good point. SCP writing moment.
We eating boys! Was literally watching the hector titania video when the noty hit
what an amazing story… at a loss for words with this one.
One of the best stories I have ever heard.
One listen, and it's already one of my favorite SCP's.
Hope they meet in the stars again.
This, Avalon, and the world's gone beautiful are my favorite entries.
This is so sad. RIP Bug people.
Between the normal tales of horror and intrigue, you get that sweet spot of a SCP/Tale like this. Some choking up and tears later, I can say masterfully done. Thank you for doing this one TES, and thank you to the author for writing it.
Man this story was so adorable. I love it so damn much and I’m jealous of Sias. That ending, though, is so damn sad
Now here i am late at night crying like a baby. Thank you for this lovely gift.
I'm always scared underated channels like this are going to just give up one day and disappear so I just wanted to say you're doing awesome work dude and you're literally the only channel on this platform that I actually go to for scp content
Reading this SCP made me cry. Can’t wait to hear you narrate it.
Aliens from the other side of the galaxy got me cryin in the club right now.
This SCP always makes me cry when I listen to it. The unbearable loss is just…too much.
I love it, so well written and beautiful too, telling you to appreciate the small and simple things while looking to the grand scale at which we exist, to appreciate the small moments between. A hug from a loved one, their warmth and security, the smell of coffee, how soft the chair you're sitting on, the light breeze the brushes away the hair from your face, the scent of freshly squeezed limes, the comfort of your bed, a funny story you heard that brought you to tears, and how you left after this video. Awe and wonder and hope, that warm sensation just below your chest, ahhhhh I love being alive.
I'm not really an emotional person but I know when something keeps giving the feels when I get goosebumps... and this one kept on giving me one after another. I'm happy that this ended on a hopeful note.
That's easily one of the best short storys ive ever heard. And I am not just talking about the scp Univers. the author of this should be very very proud. But Because I am very selfish I would ask they consider writing more.
Beautiful. The talented writers of the SCP project are diverse in their thoughts and inspirational in their delivery.
The most beautiful scp I have ever heard this is amazing your exploration and the story are 10/10 perfect story with perfect explanation
I'm...totally not crying right now! I love when sci-fi/fantasy stories are actually hopeful like this. It gives a sense of wonder and possibility. Kinda like San Junipero
I've really been going through it and struggling. I really appreciate these, and I've been listening to them to help me sleep even. Something about your candence is just really comforting. Thank you for the effort you put into it all.
Wow this is one of the few stories that gave me that bittersweet feeling in my chest like saying goodbye to a friend that was moving away as a kid
Though tragic that the time spent together was so little, the hope that the two civilizations can one day meet again is melancholic and a truly wonderous end to this tale. I dream that humanity's first encounter with alien life can go as beautiful as the author of this SCP wrote. This is definitely a new favorite of mine.
Crying. Screaming. Sobbing. Haven’t felt this way since 6001. Fantastic work on narrating this!
This story, a work of art itself, is about art and how deeply it can effect a a person, a culture, and a race.
if an when we meet a sentient species I would like to believe that it is as peaceful and inspiring as this work of fiction.
I am crying so hard this is...absolutely beautiful and devastating.
This is great and what a hidden gem of a channel to stumble upon. And bonus to find you on spotify as well. 🙂👍
I have read/listened to/watched a LOT of sci-fi and horror stuff since I got into both genres. I've also gotten into a LOT of SCP stuff. I feel a bit desensitized to it all now, and not much moves me anymore. But this... this made me run the gambit of emotions. It was one of the most beautiful stories I've come across in years. And your narration made it even more beautiful. Thank you for narrating this article - it was absolutely incredible.
This is one of the most unexpected, beautiful and fantastic entires I've ever heard. Thankyou for making this content. If it weren't for you I would never know these stories you share. You do wonderful work in not only finding good entries, but covering them in their entirety for everyone to understand and apprechiate.
This goes right next to Lord Blackwood's tales among my feel good scp's
Absolutely wonderful. Eloquent, thoughtful, and touching. It literally brought a tear to my eye. The best SCP yet. Keep up the excellent work!
If you ever run out of SCPs to read for all of us, would love to hear some HFY stories. Keep up the fantastic work!
"Come find us. We'll be waiting." God, that one line broke me. Even after the entire thing, that one line made me sob.
Not sure why it took me so long to listen to this one; it's bittersweet but also hopeful. I don't think an SCP has ever made me cry, except this one. 😢
This is my favorite SCP article in a long time.
I just bought my first piece of merchandise that I've ever bought from a youtuber and I truly think that The Exploring Series is the only person who actually deserves the hard earned money of his viewers keep up the good work I will always watch and be completely absorbed by your narrations
This one got me. I guess it was the childish wonder and joy each of them felt. My teens draw and paint. I still remember their first pieces, and them looking to me for the same approval.
Every now and then the scp wiki/explore channel will hit me with some stuff that makes me feel! Thank you!
This particular SCP just...hits different. Love it!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
This is my second favorite SCP after SCP-999 of course
This was a wonderful scp its among one of my favorites now along scp 6001 and scp 5001 i loved everything about it. now I'm sitting here with tears running down my face and my coworker wondering what happened.
These are my favorite type of SCP articles - the ones that establish other worlds, just as amazing and complicated as our own, that are just out of reach of each other, until one freak instant where they cross paths for a bit. I do think reality is a lot like that too, where destinies or timelines cross over every so often, giving us glimpses of what could have been for us, and what is for someone distant.
The wonder of all of humanity in one short statement... Are we truly alone in this universe?
That's what I think of when I hear this SCP. Just as though actually having a glimpse, no matter how short, of an intelligent species is exhilarating. The story does an excellent job at portraying the mystical wonder of the unknown between two forms of intelligent life. No hate, only curiosity.
Love it. Wonderful SCP
