    SCP stands for special containment procedures; secure, contain, and protect is just their motto

      Well, yes and no
      The SCP in “The SCP Foundation” is Secure, Contain, Protect. The SCP in actual SCPs (I.E. SCP-109) does stand for Special Containment Procedure. It’s wierd

      @@sentient_trash since there's no actual canon i can't really dispute that fully, but from my history being into scp the past 10 years or so i always thought it'd make more sense for it to be the Special Containment Procedures Foundation because of how old it is. The Foundation has been around long enough I doubt that snappy motto would have been there at the beginning. Special containment procedures is a more bureaucratic dry term that would likely appear at the organization's founding imo.

    SCPs are definitely a thing that I’ve been too intimidated by to get involved in. I never have actual SCP numbers memorized, but I know my favorite SCP is the guy who just randomly and completely stumbles across SCP Facilities on accident. And there’s a little transcript of one of the soldiers who appeared on the scene for signs of a containment breach, but they just go
    “Wait, is that…?”
    “Yeah, it’s me. Hi guys….”

    I always call the McGrath's Corner the Picture of Dorian Grey problem, when a movie tells you about a thing that is horrible or scary but regardless of what they crafted for that, it would never measure up to whatever you're thinking about when told that.

    If anyone’s interested in Lovecraftian style horrors, I recommend the stories about Alagadda. 701, 2264, and the Mount Golgotha music (012 I think?) are a good place to start. 035 and 049 are supposed to be related to it as well

    McGrath’s corner sounds like something that should be a rule of thumb in horror. I can’t tell you how many horror movies take a nose dive JUST BECAUSE they showed the monster or explained the threat. Insidious fell into that trap for me. It was immediately funny when I saw the monster. And more to your point, hiding everything is just as bad. My least favorite horror movie is It Comes at Night wholly because I came out of it wondering what the hell just happened cause we got zero explanation for ANYTHING

  • @erd249
    @erd249 Місяць тому +10

    :) Delightful. And I would love to see a deeper dive on some of the different ways SCPs create a horror narrative. This Thing A Quiet Madness Made doesn't have as much redacted content, but it does have the hazy knowledge of what happened and a drip feed of steady tension to heighten the anticipation. (The page also used to have a little audio jump scare but I don't know if that's there anymore.) Meanwhile everyone knows SCP 2316 and its meme phrase, but the combination of having to click the "tonal variance processor", making you personally at fault for gaining this knowledge that will be hazardous to you, and the usage of the little reveals in the footnotes until the end gives you this mixed bag of who you're supposed to trust and whether you're being consumed by the narrative, and speaking of footnotes and such, the Pattern Screamers. The unveiling of their narrative through the collective works creates a splendid dread of where the damn things could be. Also, for me personally, I just think Uncle Johnny is goddamn upsetting. That one gave me the jeebies for weeks for some reason.

    In New Mexico, there is a security guard firm that is advertised on a billboard in, I think Roswell, that is called the SCP foundation. Obviously, it has to be in reference to this, but it is kind of funny that there is a security firm in Roswell that would be called that due to Roswell being famous for the "Alien incident" that happened there.

    @samb1532 Місяць тому

    As a big fan of SCP and your work, my only question is how your style of video scripting would add to an SCP entry rather than take away from it. Volgun adds a lot of atmosphere while not disrupting the format much, and The Exploring Series is good at condensing the work and providing debriefs while not diluting the interesting concepts.
    Perhaps you cover an often misunderstood SCP and discuss theories? Or you cover an article as well as out-of-universe information about its writing process? Perhaps covering several associated works, or a particular canon? I'd definitely be down for those.

    There is a whole other can of worms about whether people say "weeping angel/the weeping angel thing" or "peanut/SCP-173/the SCP thing" when referring to a monster that can't move while you maintain eye contact.
