      Right, forgot I wasn't on political UA-cam.
      Basically, horseshoe theory is the idea that as one travels farther down the political extremes, either left or right, the more they seem similar, in that they both become authoritarian, with the main examples of this phenomenon being the Soviet Union for the left and Nazi Germany for the right.
      So, instead of a line spectrum, it's a horseshoe shape instead.
      In reality, it's a very crackpot theory based on surface-level understanding of political theory. I'd say the far left is a lot more libertarian than the far right.
      Even so, it does make for funny memes occasionally, like with right here.

    On that first one, the D-class that was released is pretty clearly the twin, and the viscera is the original D-class.
    This is going to be gory, but here's my take on it:
    The presence (his twin) starts by being far away, and slowly comes closer until he's clinging to him, as if he were absorbing him. In the womb, it's possible for one twin to "hog" nutrients from the other, with the malnourished one eventually being reabsorbed by the mother to help provide for the other. This is often described as one absorbing/eating/killing the other. This is essentially what the presence does to the D-class as it comes to grab on to him. Note that it almost grows on him, that it gets warmer, and that it seems to acquire more and more physical form.
    He describes the presence as having a malformed face. The character he describes has large, rounded, bulbous shapes on his forehead, which is in line with some developmental stages of a fetus, when the fetus has a very large head to fit its brain.
    His mention of the killed twin is the real rotting chicken and potatoes here. Note that it ends saying he feels "redeemed." This isn't our D-class speaking. It's the twin, saying he gets to redeem himself in the battle with the D-class, and that he's winning. Alternatively, perhaps it is our D-class speaking, realizing that he's giving this other, supposedly better person a lease on life.
    Don't know what the tearing meat is and I don't want to.
    The following mentions of licking and laughing suggests a dog? Particularly with the later mention of "Love you, buddy." I don't know how this fits in, particularly since we don't have an explanation for where the dog goes. Perhaps it lines up with the various places the D-class stayed, almost like the twin reclaiming his memories? Maybe the rotting chicken or some other meat was torn to feed the dog? I just hope that dog meat doesn't smell like rotting chicken.
    Alternatively, there's no dog, and the tearing meat, laughing, and licking are something disturbing about the takeover of the D-class's body, and the "Love you, buddy" is instead a comment from one twin to another (although which is which I do not know).
    In the interview, he's pretending to be the same person, but you can see he's clearly happy to be alive and human. He marvels at his hands, he's happy, and he's dismissive of the on-the-back presence. Notably, he seems to suspect it might be dead, which would be an odd thing for the original D-class to know, and especially odd to smile about. But if you assume this is the twin speaking about the D-class, saying he's dead, the smile becomes that of recognizing he got what he wanted, and some revenge, while also explaining why he's got the hunch it's dead.
    The human viscera with D-class's genetic material is the presence that once was the malnourished twin (note that twins have identical genetics), except now the minds of the D-class and the twin have switched places. The D-class is stuck there, while the twin roams free.
    You can also imagine parallels with it getting dark plus the smell of rotted (or rather, digested) and the interior of a womb.
    The specific mentions of the childhood bedroom also seem thematically relevant, but I don't see a connection with mentioning the other places he has slept.
    There are many more connections to make here, particularly with what happens to those that don't complete the game, but it's plenty disturbing already, so I'll leave that to you. Have fun! Thanks for reading my thoughts!

      Wow. I really like this theory of yours. Frankly, this story frightened me a lot more than almost any SCP. Imagining the D class and the entity in the dark just sent chills down my spines. (And it escaping in the end really freaked me out.)
      My take on it was that the bodysnatcher in the dark got hold of the D class's body without devouring it first, so when the D class starts speaking about the twin he 'killed' it was already the entity speaking, and so was everything after it. I can't really justify this theory it's just the way I perceived the story the moment I heard it.
      Your breakdown of it was really insightful in my opinion, though.

      that SCP kind of reminds me of SCP 3333 a firewatch tower that has repeating rooms above it that goes up many times and when the people get to the top an unknown entity removes all of their bones, organs and muscles and uses the persons skin to live outside the tower and try to get others to go into the tower.

    He/she/it is probably one of the most interesting character/GOI in the scp verse.

    Given Parawatch's mission to find the truth, I'm pretty sure they would have good relations with the Serpent's Hand.
    That is, if they manage to get in contact with them.

    This reminds me of a Tumblr post that suggested that Bruce Wayne goes undercover on conspiracy forums to post wild explanations as to why Batman is Bruce Wayne, such as the butts matching, to discredit the idea. And it actually became canon that he does this.

    My favorite interpretation of parawatch is that their leader is a reality warper who has abilities similar to the world over heaven from jjba,able to rewrite reality to whatever he wants,so in order to protect the members of parawatch,he alters reality whenever they're found out and resets it back to the point where they were seen as just a harmless group that goes hunting for cryptids,the foundation unable to ever truly find out the truth behind their operations...
