“We hold dominion over paranormalcy and our law supersedes Murphy’s” is the hardest, most foundation line I’ve ever heard.
Murphy: Whatever can happen, will happen.
Foundation: and so I took that personally.
Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong, will.
Foundation: Whoa whoa brother. You got a little too much dip on ya chip there
I almost missed that fact. There's a handful of lines like it that's both hard-nosed determination and wild bravado against the impossible standing at the doorstep. I really wish I could think of a few besides "dying in the dark so other can live in the light" which is just the moto.
Foundation law might supercede Murphy's Law, but it gets wrecked by Drucker's Law every other day.
"If one thing goes wrong, everything else will, and at the same time"
@@justinsmith5870 There’s a good one in the dark moon howls 001 proposal. An O5 says he thought the moral of Moby Dick was that Ahab didn’t try hard enough. I forget the exact line but TES has a video on it
"The total collapse of all cryptocurrency markets" and the foundation basically going 'yeah saw that happening a mile away' is pretty hilarious given the context of this year so far
I still put my money in it
@@Dave_of_Mordor then you will die braver than most
@@Dave_of_Mordor
You FOOL.
@@Center-For-I.E.D.Mismanagement nah I’d trust the Wandsmen, they seem to have a pretty solid grasp on where things are going 🤣
@@thecrazycapmaster
Lel. Sarcasm is wonderful thing.
Wettle gave up all his good luck in exchange for his mother recovering from lung cancer, then fell asleep and forgot about it. What a gigachad
What a sacrifice! Giving up something like that is not something people can easily will themselves to do. Wettle did a very brave thing.
Not gonna lie, that segment hit kinda hard. Especially with the Mom, after hearing that, quiting smoking because of it.
@@plinfan6541 I wish you success in quitting and good health.
If only quitting and fighting diminishing returns had made a difference for my father in the end, all told.
@@BigBoolinScienceMan ...Thank you, but I ment that the Mother in the story quit smoking.
I have never started Smoking to begin with.
I love how the SCP Foundation simultaneously values its secrecy above all else while also not being able to resist the naming convention of all its front companies having the initials of SCP (Silly Crab Productions, Sunset Cove Pensacola etc.)
See Pickman/Blank 001 Proposal: The Frontispiece
I didn't even notice that. Thanks for pointing it out
i think thats just to make conspiracy theorist riled up,since they use them once in a while
There's actually a good reason for this. This way, when a field agent is cut off from their contacts within their branch of the Foundation, they can look through a local set of business or otherwise to find something with those initials and quickly make a recon of it to then dump information.
When you're being pursued by a young woman with red-gold hair who claims to be a being from an alternate reality, and some dark shadow creature from 'The Dream Realm' in her reality is breaking through at a highschool, and if it gets through some equinoid abomination is going to literally bring nightmares to life, and your comm truck just got blown up by some pink haired one throwing literally exploding sparkles, you don't have time to go through contact numbers, sometimes you have to go to Sure Cost Penthouses and demand some MTF backup...I was lucky that had that new Mobile SRA cannon thing honestly...though watching a big horse made of starry sky get blasted by a beam made of 'reality' is one of those things I never knew was going to look so cool, and also so damn scarry.
I like to think they do this so they dont need to make new uniforms for each front company
" SCP 4040 has been transformed from a bottomless pit to a pit of variable depth " oh Jesus this got me.
What’s funny is that in one of the Sloth Pit tales, a couple of mtf agents actually fell to the bottom of the pit, where met the man who founded the town of Sloth Pit and whose entire family got sucked down into the hole with their house. Then when the two agents tried digging even further down, they ended up reappearing in China, due to the narrative nature of the hole making it so it winds up going all the way through the world. So, technically the hole has a bottom, it’s just in China lol.
"Take anything else you want. Take all my stuff. Take all my friends. Take all my chances, take everything good and keep it… just... don't take my mom. Don't hurt my parents. Hurt me instead, for as long as you want. I can take it. I promise. Please."
That hit hard
Yeah, same. Especially since he was twelve at the time? So much for a young kid to go through…
Finally, a relatable SCP Entity.
Doctor Wettle feels better after this 😆
If you say the Scarlet King I’m going to send a dog after you
yeah i remember praying that kind of stuff too. rough shit
What about the telepathic spider?

I'd like to imagine that every single instance of Sam Lloyd died at the same time due to nigh impossible odds, and so the SCP was just neutralized.
That 100 percent has to be the case. And hilarious if confirmed.
One heck of a sandwich.
sadly it wasn't the case, they found their Sam Lloyd after it all, which meant some unlucky iteration universe's inhabitants all died
@@inkedseahear damn. All of him dying at once due to sheer luck and being neutralized only because the break down of probability is some grade A sci-fi humor.
@@inkedseahear That not how that anomaly work tho, the condition to trigger the destruction is when he being killed by any outside force (foul plays always present). When that happen, the calamity will immediately follow correspondence to the amount of sapient creture in that universe. The more sapient creture, the less severe the destruction. If there is no living thing in the universe that Lloyd is killed, the calamity can destroy multiple neighbours universes.
That is why whenever (a) Lloyd is about to die, the Foundation immediately toss that Lloyd to another universe, and the only reason base line Lloyd is still in base line SCP is because they want to make it fair and discourage other universe to dump a tons of Lloyd into base line Universe.
In this article, a non-baseline Lloyd is killed because of a purely accidental incident, caused by himself and anticipated by none. So nothing happen after the fact. It's an extremely rare condition to meet, so rare infact that out of millions of Lloyd documented by multiverse Foundations, this is the first.
"Our law supersedes Murphy's" The SCP foundation never fails to deliver, don't they?
Damn, even the bots are getting lost.
Idk, to me that line has "fuck around and find out" energy going both ways
"We hold dominion over paranormalcy and our law supersedes Murphy's" based
Shoutout to LeBlanc, who despite what Wettle might think turned out to be a true friend that tried to offer support and even after he was kicked out of Wettle's life kept trying to find a solution to his friend's problem
HOMESTUCK
Haha this is unrelated but in a way Vriska is sorta like a reverse Wettle because she has all the luck right?
William got the Universe to rewrite itself for him and his mother. It didn't force the Universe to bend to his will. He just asked and offered, like we all do at some point in our lives. The Universe just listened and accepted in this one case. It made an exception for a boy who wanted his mother to stay healthy and not have to suffer. It gave William the destiny he chose. That's pretty epic.
The universe to everyone else: fuck you
The universe to this random guy: sup
Wettle now might be my favorite character in SCP now. There is a comedic aspect of his character that is funnier than anything I've read from Dr Bright, yet his story is so humanizing. One of the biggest heroes in the entire universe. I can really see him being implemented in a lot of other tales. Really exciting what this entry will add to the lore of the SCP universe.
If you like wettle you should check out the on guard 43 cannon there's a bunch of stuff where wettle appears and a bunch of other well written characters too
@@gamingmaster5072 whats so different about that cannon?
Probably because the "Wacky" Dr. Bright stuff is things that make him less real to the reader and it goes back and forth between depressing and just wacky. Wettle meanwhile is a extremly avarage guy, that is probably the type of person anyone has meet a bunch of times or even is like that. A somewhat grumpy and boring Pencilpusher, who neather stands out or leaves much impact. Which ironicly makes him the perfect POV for this Plot.
@@stevenhetzel6483 it's based around site 43 in Canada where they're more humane usually because they're too many anomalies to do it the conventional way,, the on guard 43 hub is a good primer on the canon and canon has a lot of great stuff going on
Yea it is a good character...
But I will not put my money on him.
I'm not familiar with this writer, but man I love the sarcasm in this one. The Crypto dig made me lol, and it's just sprinkled with little things "Meteorology has become ineffective, but so far no one has noticed."
I would *definitely* recommend checking out more of Blank's writing. In particular, he wrote most of the "Words of Power and Poison" series, part of the On Site 43 Canon Hub, and something I desperately hope TES will make more videos discussing parts of.
Both SCP-7000 and SCP-6500 are actually part of the series, along with dozens of other ones.
*I mean, it was never effective.* 🤣
Satire is great .)
@@Mavis-ne1ss wait i have writtings?
There were a lot of good 7000 entries but this one absolutely deserved the win.
The comedy, heart, and characters feel real and genuine. It was such a good read and I highly recommend reading the SCP if you enjoyed this
I didn’t even know the 7000 contest had already started, 6000 was less then a year ago
For sure, I thought Kaktus was going to win again but this was a pleasant surprise.
@@microwavedcheetos Idk if the Wikidot Staff desperately needed more luck for this series!
10h ago?
@@nono9543 From what I’ve seen so far, He only won first place for the 3000 contest. But he still made some amazing entries for the other contests.
This reminds me of that Inheritance Cycle character Elva. A dragon rider tries to bless her in a magic language but messes up his words. Instead of "May you be shielded from misfortune," he says, "May you be a shield from misfortune."
ah yes Eragon
Indeed, then he bungles it again trying to fix it but accidentally bungles it in the right way and just frees her from feeling the actual pain of others 🤣 did you know there’s another book of short stories written by Paolini, set not too long after the end of the series, that expands on that world and also has a story with Angela and Elva? I didn’t know it until I was vibing at a library a couple months ago, browsing shelves out of boredom, and found a Paolini book I didn’t recognize.
"A dragon rider"? Why wouldn't you just say the main character? What, is it potentially a spoiler?
@@iainrickwood2623 It does potentially add a bit of spoiler resistance to say it that way, since there are multiple dragon riders in the story. Mainly I said it that way to give more information for people who are unfamiliar with what the series is about, though.
For the last 2.5 years ive been listening this channel has never failed to entertain me. Thank you and keep up the great work.
‘What happens if that person is only unlucky, for their entire life?’
Oh no. What an awful hypothetical situation that I in no was relate heavily to. How tragic that would be for an individual.
"So which do you think is more ridiculous, all of Dr. Bright's goofy tales, or SCP 7000?"
"Yes."
Wettle is my new favorite. Poor guy can just never catch a break. He can’t even be content with his existence because something bad will happen immediately after he does become content. But he takes it on the chin like the chad he is. Bro deserves love and praise
the best part that cemented him to me as a standup guy is that he realizes he's in control. what a lad.
Chaos Insurgency: "WE HAVE CRAFTED A DEVICE THAT WHICH TAKES CHARGE OF FATE AND ALL PROBABILITIES"
Dr. Wettle: "My everyday is a monday"
"I am the God of Misery! I curse you with perpetual bad luck! And to really rub it in, I give your good luck to everyone else."
That is truly evil. What a monster.
There is a lot of room for speculation here as well. Who, or what, is his mysterious benefactor/antagonist? He made a deal with something, that is both benevolent enough to keep the terms of their contract, and malevolent enough to enforce a contract of perpetual misery on him. Is it an outside force? The 'Universe' they spoke of? A God? Maybe one of the Fairy? A literal demon? Or is it William Wettel himself? Is he doing this to himself, in a misguided attempt to keep the people around him safe? As a reality bender, does he believe that the only way he can be helpful to others, is to live in misery, so they may be happy? Is he a reality bender?
An excellent story. Thank you for sharing it with us.
"But.. I'll save your mother. Just this once. NOW WALLOW, WOE BE WITH 'TIL THE END OF DAYS! WOE. *WOOOOOE!* "
@@jacobp.2024 xD right? It’s so ridiculous, it could only be an SCP!
Life is a Monty Python movie, we just haven't realized it yet.
Not really though- he offered it in exchange for his mother’s life, and the god that responded to him was more likely just Fortune. He also doesn’t really supply good luck, just absorbs bad luck.
I don't think I've ever read an SCP that paid such careful attention to the establishment of Foundation cover stories for the public. Seeing more attention to that detail of world building is refreshing.
I think this has become one of my favorite SCPs. While I love complex and mind boggling horror, there's something deeply enjoyable about this poor guy influencing the world. Just because he's a good person.
I feel personally attacked
Me too:< oh well
Dude it's my birthday and it was shitty. How do you think i feel
HEH LOOOOSER
Loser is a mindset, not a state of being
@@Neoentrophy no cap
This is definitely one of my favorite scps I've ever read and I've read a lot! The humor, characters and emotional moments felt genuine and worked so well together! This definitely deserved It's place in the 7000 slot!!! #WETTLESWEEP
This SCP has won the Meme war instantly. Which makes sense because it is both funny, heartwarming and unique at the same time. Also the Irony of the "Loser" winning everyones heart and getting the 7000 spot makes it so much better.
hearing you say it includes humor has prejudiced me to feel like I'm not gonna like this one, 😆 well, we'll see....
@@plinfan6541 Not sure what you're talking about, but the League of Legends article won the meme war #Caliboldsweep
the part where its revealed how he became SCP-7000: sacrificing everything else good in his life for the sake of the best thing, his mom, was probably the only time an SCP article made me tear up. definitely deserves the spot
That old Bad Luck Brian meme, but an entire SCP article
My take on it is basically a deconstruction of Milo Murphy's Law.
"Loser" by Beck is the official soundtrack
given the probabilistic nature inherent to quantum physics all reality bending/ reality warping/ direct expression of intention into reality
is always just probability manipulation.
Either that or Husk
2:30 "Their law supersedes Murphy's"
Meanwhile, on practically every MTF mission...
Also, if this were ever made into live action, Weddle *needs* to be played by Nathan Barnatt.

"bottomless pit was now of variable..."
Well at least now we know who that green text was from:
>Be me
>Be bottomless pit inspector
>Inspect bottomless pit to see if it is still bottomless once a day.
>Life is good.
>One day go inspect bottomless pit.
>Bottomless pit has a bottom.
>Fells bad man.
UNDERRATED COMMENT
Man how can something be funny, sad, and heartwarming at the same time. This was amazingly written as you laugh at wettles borderline cartoon slapstick situation, then you feel sad for him as his mental well-being is plummeting,then it hits you that the reason he’s like this in the first place was to save his mom from lung cancer. Amazing.
When it got to his mom overhearing his prayer I straight up started tearing up and got that like. Bottomed out hollow feeling. I lost my own mom to a similar situation and I'm sure I've made the same kind of pleas while she was sick. It resonated with me a lot.
As much as I like MOAR CONTENT, I'm worried about the pace of recent releases. You're slamming out these multi hour entries like a madman and I don't wanna see you burn out! As always, love the video! You're the best!
They guy is doing a 1hr or so vid a week, and all he does it read it out. It's easy money bro don't sweat
@@angryman132 If it's that easy, why don't you do it?
I Imagine he might spend a bit cranking out a bunch of 20 minute scp vids staggered over weeks so he can spend more time on the hour long ones like these
He do be getting payed swell, chill bro
All right, the time has finally come.
#Wettlesweep
P.S.: The real Loser of the article is the Chaos Insurgency though, getting complettly destroyed by cosmic Karma.
Wettle pulled off something The Foundation have been trying to do for years! And he says he has no luck whatsoever!
As they should.
Scp explained is a content farm, the Scp exploration series is quality content.
Wow! When I heard his prayer he made as a boy to save his mom I teared up. It was touching in a personal way. Because after losing a father and a fiancee in a 10 year period I found myself making similar prayers quite often. I've been praying ever since that if a death must happen in my little group of ppl I love, I've been praying that I would be the next one to go because I don't want to feel the empty, raw, gutted feeling of losing someone really important in my life. It's like your soul is being disemboweled. You're left feeling empty, raw, bloodied, scrubbed down to raw meat and then treated with alcohol, or lemon and salt. And you're fully awake and feeling the entire thing. Only it's not even happening in your physical body as those either heal or you die. No, this feeling takes place in your soul and your heart. I remember actually finding myself clawing at my chest in desperation to tear out that thing where the pain takes place and chuck it far away from me, as if some primal survival instinct wants you to remove the damaged part from yourself so your physical body would be spared. But once again you realize that this takes place inside of YOU beyond your body. The part of you that you cannot get your hands on or take a pill for or put a compress or surgically remove. And the ,,healing,, process isn't like a broken bone, it's ×1000 that, so you realize you just have to sit there and exist every waking moment with the pain and nothing can be done, everything you try is only delaying the feeling by few min at a time. It's something that...I don't know how to explain it but at that time you would envy the psychopats and the narcissists and every lousy excuse of a human that can't be bothered to feel this sort of love and attachment for any other being. But still you wouldn't trade places with them. I know i wouldn't. Better to have known love(not just romantic) and have lost it than to exist without ever knowing it with your heart and soul!
So yeah I caught myself making those prayers. And it scares me because it might very well come true but then again it scares me if it doesn't. It's like wanting to live but feeling bad for wanting it because you wouldn't want to be there when loss strikes again! It sucks!
thanks for writing this. i know the situations arent very comparable, but my father is dying. grandfather actually, but he raised me. he's 90, i'm 19. i look after him but he's in his final couple of months and we both know this. neither of us have other people in our lives; i will be the only one there to wave him off as he crosses the styx, and he is the only person i have. i live in constant fear; every time i come into his bedroom to wake him for his nutritional drink, and he doesn't stir when i call his name, my stomach sinks thinking "this is it". every time i come home and call his name, and don't get a response because he can't hear me over the TV, i freeze up as i slowly open the door not knowing whether i'll find his corpse.
the point of all this is this; i am terrified of a world without him. seeing his body fail, and seeing him stop eating or taking his pills is hard enough, but i will be entirely alone in the world once that day finally comes, and i will have to bear that grief entirely on my own. i won't have anybody to reminisce with, i won't have anyone sending their condolences, i won't even have anyone to invite to a funeral. it's comforting, in a way, to know that grief still cuts to the bone for others. i'm very mentally unwell and have been for a long time - major depression, paranoid personality disorder, etc - so i always worry that his death will basically ruin me. but the way you write about it - that life moves on, and it will hurt like hell and never truly heal, but you keep going regardless - really does give me a level of comfort in knowing that i won't be alone in sharing that suffering with others; we just share the same grief at different times, in different ways, for different people.
@@pimposki6232 Hey man, I am living with my grandfather while Alzheimers takes his world and has made it an island
and now that island is shrinking and I am here on the island with him. Identifying and helping him point out things that he needs to identify to others and I am feeling you in the fear that everything may just fall apart when your purpose ends with the current situation your in. Hey brother, you are doing fine if you are putting your time into helping an old man keep some dignity and making his life a bit more liveable during this last part of his lifetime. Hold your head up friend it is ok to be scared and I am going to go out and guess that you will see an opportunity when you are finished here.
Please look up eft - emotional freedom technique, havening, EMDR, and PSTec - percussive suggestion technique I believe. They are good tools to have on hand so that when you need it they are familiar and comfortable. Free too lol. Most on UA-cam.
Ok. But. When I was sixteen, we had an ENTIRE CARTON OF EGGS. WITH. DOUBLE. YOLKS. Not just a single egg. Every. Single. Egg. Had two yolks in it. It was the wildest thing I’ve experienced with probabilities to date.
Why. Why does this hurt and relate so much.
Omfg dude, that's nifty
Someone was feeding those chickens hormones in their chicken feed mi boi
My experience with these videos is that I start listening and then become so inspired with worldbuilding ideas and sci-fi geeking-out that I realize I've listened for fifteen minutes without absorbing and I have to rewind.
Not complaining though, cuz they're awesome.
I love how this is part of the "Inevitable" canon. Not only were thaumaturgy, reality bending, and pataphysics decaying, but also luck. Pretty cool.
The writer clearly got his comfort zone, prefer this one though because it doesn´t get too meta.
On Guard 43, you mean?
or Metafoundation, lol
Technically it’s the No Return canon not Inevitable, and the article is in S43OG, which No Return is canon to.
1:04 'What happens if a person is never lucky though?'
Oh shit they wrote a whole contest winning scp article about my life
So, technically Zayne Carrick from the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic comics?
@@michaelandreipalon359 Even worse, Anikin!
Nah, he started having good luck come the end of the Battle of Endor.
@@michaelandreipalon359 well yes but actually no
Yeah, his Force Ghost sure had problems with the likes of Leia Organa during the events at the planet Bakura shortly after Endor... poor guy.
When my friends need 1 more guy for a full squad and they ask me.
Ah, so we've finally reached Series 8. Let the lore expand more and more and more, and the TES content increase the same way.
Edit: Must say, this SCP feels like a mix between Disney's unfortunately canned Milo Murphy's Law and the Spear of Destiny's perceived thaumaturgical effects.
And so, like sands through the hourglass. These are the days of our lives.
@@Pwnduall11 maybe the real sand is the days we made along our lives.
It goes to show just how strong the support and dedication of the SCP community truly is!
The lore gets worse with each series though because of how they prevent new writers from joining the site. It has turned into a circle jerk where a few writers dictate pretty much everything. If you don't believe me, try to get greenlights as a new member. You will HAVE to beg for people to read your stuff, and they will likely just ignore you.
Series 8? It's Series 7.
7000 = Series 7
this is like the opposite of SCP - 1504. i hope to see people do more with SCP - 1504 in the future now that 7000 entries are going to be more around luck.
I encourage everyone to go and read this article. The dialog and accompanying pictures are very humorous
That MTF definitely should have been called “Murphy’s Lawyers”
Dang. I participated in 7K con and I found out late in the contest that my idea was basically similar to this one. A Foundation staff that has bad luck. The differences are that it’s an agent who’s had the anomaly for who knows how long and it fluctuates from good/bad luck on her mindset. And next thing you know, there are others like yours as well.
I can’t really say that we were unoriginal with our ideas. We were. It’s just that we had different ways approaching the same idea.
More so, HarryBlank is a more experienced writer than I. So I gotta give him that.
Yeah, it was a pretty crazy contest to be a part in. Cheers to all the authors and critters!
Btw, SCP-7490 is the number.
Tbh your idea sounds pretty much like Komaeda Nagito (Danganronpa 2), but you can go far in the future!!!
Great minds.
@@linhnguyenngoc7749 I’ve never played any Danganronpa games so I wouldn’t know.
@@jadennavarrofilms2377 Highly recommended, I think the concept of the same idea as yours would be helpful for your future projects!!!
Oh my god, we're already at 7000? These authors are WILDING Theyre such madmen, I love them so much
My listening experience of this one:
* Oh, what a neat article!
* 1:11:02 intense sobbing at hearing my own words about my mom spoken through a character who actually got the wish
* 1:13:00 onwards: what a clever and unfortunately impactful article :D
i'm so sorry 😢
"... I feel like we owe it to him. For being such a good sport."
The Foundation is only cruel when it's necessary to maintain "normalcy" in the world. If they're allowed to be, the Foundation can actually be kind of... Compassionate.
Hell, most of the Civil War canons start because some Foundation personnel disagreed with the cruel treatment of sentient anomalies.
Damn we're already at SCP-7000? Seems like the amount of SCPs is picking up. Here I thought those heavy restrictions would slow it down. Color me shocked.
if anything i think the restrictions made people have more time in their hands to work on passion projects
Restrictions often help people get more creative, to a point, obviously.
Reaching SCP-10000 might be possible in the future. Never in 2012 would I thought for it to become a possibility, but here we are at 7000s.
I assume that there aren't a thousand articles in every series, the "7000" is more of a category than a sequence.
Ayyyyyyye I’m always up late and always watching for a new SCP entry.
I hope you can keep this whole amazing thing you got going for a long time, I love every minute of your posts and your detailed summarizations.
22:37
"So many people are catching shiny
pokemon that they've had to knock out Nintendo's online services, every fansite, and a few reddit communities to avoid the word
getting out."
No way the foundation is hushing that up. There would be parades to spread the word made of people from every age group.
People would write "shiny" in the skies with airplanes.
To be, honestly, this story is one of the biggest tragedies on the SCP wiki. This guy is one of the kindest most empathetic people in the world, he literally gave up all his good luck to save his mother's life. Hell, he was willing to eek out a miserable existance for the sake of the world. And his reward? Nothing. For all his sacrifice, everything he has done, he gets nothing. No break from his existance. No honours. Nothing. He is doomed to be miserable all because he didn't want his mother to die.
This is an article about how the nice guy will always get the short end of the stick.
Don’t worry, the Foundation, in a moment of empathy, did what little they could to allow something good to happen to him for a change. The article ended with SCP-7000 being split into two. The good doctor got the main article, which states that, “SCP-7000 is responsible for its own containment. No experimentation involving this anomaly is authorized without the explicit consent of the Emergent Threat Tactical Response Authority or SCP-7000 itself.
There is no relationship between SCP-7000 and SCP-7000-D.”
(SCP-7000-D refers to the luck anomaly caused by Wettle breaking his word to the universe stopping.)
@@Nameless-ln5mr All that means is that he isn't going to be locked in a cell and no one will ever know about his sacrifice. No one will known about the hero he is and that he is doomed to mediocrity. Nothing has changed for him.
Yeah but think about it. The only people that know the truth about his existence and his immense power/burden are his one true friend and the most power council of people on the planet that unanimously respect and did what little they can to recognize his sacrifice for not only the scp foundation but the world.
@@casematecardinal Sure, but they can't really do anything to reward him for his kindness. And he is forced to eek out a miserable existence without any chance of respite
This is personally my fav K-con besides 7999, loved how relatable Dr. Wettle is- it's like he's created as a new addition from Dr. Bright that seems to me too much forced.
I just went and read 7999. Beautiful!
After spending an hour and twenty minutes listening to this article, i definitely agreed that scp 7000 deserves its spot on the wiki.
The product of comedy and misery is gauranteed to get some chuckles here and there. But such piece would make you realise that humanity, in general, enjoys seeing others in pain or miserable because from our perspective its comedy.
Perhaps, the same this could be said to the entity our protagonist prayed upon.
He is a continous source of comedic entertain for whatever entity answered his prayer.
A well-deserved win. The Murphy Law entry is great, too, btw.
I’ve won two anime figures through raffles at my local mall, but In Vegas I’m a cat waking under an umbrella ladder indoors. Luck is incomprehensible I say!
This is the kind of article that has the real vibe of the scp foundation i know,just,immense cosmic events,but also almost medical type procedures to counter act them
Starting the video now. Can't wait to hear it!
Edit:
Just finished. Hell of a good listen!
I genuinely love this kind of SCP the best. I think these past couple of years have soured me on constantly hearing about monstrous, existential terrors.
Oh my god, that ending was a gut punch. Wettle's a good boy.
Thought that thumbnail was was sort of pixel art jar jar binks for a second.
Damn, I didn't know the 7000 contest had even begun, much less finished.
Yeah, it finished before I read more then 3😭
Making a funny SCP that's also fascinating and great is a truly amazing feat. One of the best I've heard
Watching the SCP wiki evolve over the years is an incredible experience. Some of these articles are genuine works of art and can evoke emotion and curiosity like nothing else I’ve ever read/listened to. This article is beautiful, easy to follow but evokes introspection, and includes humor. These stories are something else, and I’m so happy we all get to partake in it.
That's pretty much the kind of agreement I always imagine I'm getting myself into whenever I click 'I agree' without reading the terms of service...
Probably because that's basically what it is.
Loved this one. I agree with it getting the 7000 slot, just different enough to make it stand out and yet just mundane enough to be forgettable against all the other epic scale SPCs sharing a 1000 slot. Just like Wettle. Keep em coming man, I've come to look forward to your reading of these.
My new work schedule leads me to watch these later than I used to. But I’m always excited to get off work and come experience the new stories every week.
Hell yeah, exploring just piling on the content with another 1h+ vid. Always a pleasure when I see the videos mate keep it up
“And I took that personally”
And I was upset that I couldn’t get to sleep.. thanks for putting this out couldn’t have been better timing
this was honestly my favorite SCP in a while, it's a really creative scenario that is actually pretty different from anything the site has touched on previously (that I can think of, at least), and that in itself is pretty remarkable for a fictional universe that sometimes feels like it has done everything and then some, and it's got just the right mixture of humor and emotional appeal, like something about it almost feels like a mostly-lighthearted (but with some darker undertones) '80s-'90s blockbuster somehow, like something in the vain of Groundhog Day or something (not sure why that movie comes to mind in particular, but somehow it just has a similar sort of vibe, which is something I can't say I've ever gotten from an SCP story before).
Also, even though a lot of the events are comedic in nature, you end up feeling genuinely bad for Wettle and he actually is a really tragic figure, like since I'm sure a lot of us have had some rough spot in our lives where it felt like nothing was going our way, and it seemed like the whole universe was against us, and Wettle is someone who is cursed with the nightmare of that rough spot being his entire life with no hope of any respite, all just because he didn't want his mom to die; like everything else aside, that's just incredibly sad.
What I love about your content is not only do you do the reading with a very neutral and balanced voice, you give context ahead of reading, and an explanation at the end of wtf just went on. Very helpful for some of the lore heavy/in depth psychological SCPs
I love the way the chaos insurgency trying to break into the foundation kept getting into Tom and Jerry - like antics.
An absolutely fantastic article! Thank you to the author for such an incredible work and thank you for covering it and allowing us to hear it
So good,just so good, imagine if these writers were the ones making movies...
Si eu as vrea un film SCP
Plenty of people without any education could write a good script for a movie. Then it's just a matter of having someone with actual directorial skills to direct it.
Im revisiting SCP stories on this channel and this is definitely one of my favorites.Thank you!
Oh my God. He left his wife the moment he realized her life was in danger. AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW.
How do you tell someone you are literally cursed? Letting her hate him kept her safe. The truest definition of self-sacrifice
In one corner the antics are great and in the other I could shed a tear for what this character did
Awwww, if the probability of Wettle stepping on my toes or accidentally head butting me weren’t so exponentially high, I’d hug him😭😭😭
That part at 22:40 about catching shiny Pokémon really hit home since I’m shiny hunting while listening to this 🤣
I've listened to this dozens of times, and I still always cry at the end.
this has to be the most entertaining SCP article too much fun and an interesting concept
Please cover scp 7999, one of my favorite entries in a while.
PS to anyone reading this: If you're thinking about making a comment saying "Haha they made an scp about me" then you've already lost to dozens of other commentors
Oh my God that's the one I wrote! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!!
Come on. How do they know he swallowed three flies? lol
I mean, they're the Foundation. Of course they know how many flies their employees swallow. But man, that's crazy lol
Don't you count the number of flies you swallow?
Probably woke up hacking like a madman each time, it’s not a pleasant experience 🤣
@@thecrazycapmaster Hahaha, you right
Damn got me to cry at the end. Amazing storytelling and hit my heart right through the cracks
Wettle is clearly important unit on that team, not because of the event, but because of he's only moral and mental support the team have under full stress
this truly feels like a comedy show more than a scp video lmfao
This channel produces the best audio for this genre. Thanks!
When I first heard about SCP back in late 2018, I remember when Series 5 got added to the site. As I've always said, the 10000 content is gonna be so awesome. I wonder if it'll be like 001, where the "real" one is up to interpretation. It's kinda crazy how many there is now.
Every 1000th SCP is always so amazing and SCP-7000 is no exception. This was a pretty interesting interpretation of luck. Great video was always. Nice.
This one was really good! The 1000s always seem to be. I like this kind much better than the fantasy ones because I don't have to remember all the names and weird terminology. I am still certainly confused by a few things...
1. Everyone around the world was having good luck, but when he went with MTF anyone they were against had bad luck... why? Was it because the insurgents being lucky would result in his death?
2. Why did they use him almost exclusively against the chaos insurgency, when they could have put him in teams attempting to terminate dangerous SCPs?
3. Why was Lou Gehrig resurrected??
4. The world went back to normal at the end, but was he still cursed?
5. What would happen if he was locked in a cell with a dangerous SCP like 96, 106, 173, or 682? Would they just ignore him?
Wettle absorbs bad luck of the people around him, so the MTF was losing their bad luck because Wettle was among them.
Lou Gehrig was a bit silly. But for everything else, effectively he is immortal because he cannot be rid of his suffering. He is indeed still cursed. His curse is so powerful that it nearly destroyed the world, until the SCP realized he was enjoying his status as the source of the world's destruction, at which point it set things back to normal.
1. He sucks up the bad luck of the people around him. As a result, MTF had good luck in their missions. It's not so much that the insurgents were unlucky as his team was lucky.
2. Probably because the probability crisis was the most pressing situation at the time.
3. Because it was unlikely to happen and the author thought it was funny.
4. The probability crisis was *his* punishment for his hubris. It went back to normal because he accepted his fate and said that he learned his lesson.
5. The nature of his curse is to prolong his suffering as much as possible. A violent end to his story would probably curtail decades of suffering and could be seen as "lucky" from a certain perspective. Kind of like wetting oneself, while embarrassing, unfortunate, and unhygienic, is preferable to hours of holding it (weird example but the best I could come up with). He probably wouldn't be "lucky" enough to be placed in containment with/encounter certain death anomalies.
I think 2 is because, to the Foundation, it’s possible he dies from that, and they are not going to risk their most powerful asset.
You didn’t have to call me that you know…
Oh! You meant an SCP reading.
This was great man. I really look forward to your narration videos. It really helps my life as ridiculous as it sounds.
Just want to remind you how much you mean to me and so many others, I’m listening to this rn trying to fall asleep but I’m to engaged into the story to do so😅 keep up all the great videos I hope you are always doing well❤️
Give Wettle a trophy, this man is a trooper among troopers.
I was waiting for this!
I really loved the story. thank you very much for this narration.
This may sound strange, but for some reason, this document in particular gave me some sense of nostalgia and I couldn't figure out why. Then it hit me: this feels like an early 2000's Cartoon; a good one but reformatted for adults. How the comedy and action are nicely tied together, how the emotional moments hit me like a baseball to the face (trust me, I know), the nice life moral at the end about how our lives are how we live them and to keep promises; Hell, I couldn't stop hearing your reading of Wettle's lines in Rob Paulson's voice. Maybe that's why I liked this one so much. Great reading.
Here’s my personal rankings for all the 1000 entries.
1. SCP 2000- it just fits the whole narrative of the Foundation’s seemingly impossible and endless goal. It’s useful, but possibly might be the darkest SCP, depending on who and why it was built.
2. SCP 5000- Again, just ties the whole universe together in a great “what if” scenario.
3. SCP 1000- Takes the most ridiculed and simultaneously popular real world cryptid, Bigfoot, and makes a deep compelling story about it. Real life blending with fiction.
4. SCP 4000- After this SCP was written, so many new tales and articles became more ambitious, and the world-building has never been better across the SCP wiki due to it’s influence.
5. SCP 3000- Genuinely scary, a nice isolated story, but gives background to how far the Foundation will go maintain resources, and the Veil.
6. SCP 7000- This was a nice little story about Luck. Some good comedy, and character dialog, but kinda just starts and ends, with not a whole lot going on.
7. SCP 6000- Lots of flowery prose and language, but in a circular fashion that’s not very satisfying. The theme of this one was ‘Nature’, so it makes sense it would be anti-Foundation, but the tie-ins with The Wanderer’s Library kinda made me roll my eyes, since the main message was mostly, “The Foundation was wrong, Serpent’s Hand was right, the end”
I guess I’m just not a Wanderer’s Library fan, and haven’t really read that wiki much. Still, it’s not a bad story, just the bottom of this particular list, imo,
I’ve been waiting for this ever since the 7000 winner was announced!
God literally just read this today and was totally engrossed. Thanks for the brilliant videos you're much appreciated by a lonely guy rn
I TOTALLY missed that we're entering a new series! Like, I read the 7000 in the title and everything but it just didn't register until you said it.
