at the risk of sounding dumb, I don't think I completely understand the story. it's obviously a faerie tale situation where names hold a kind of power and being fooled into accepting names and titles will mean they are switched in a fashion, but I don't understand exactly what's happening with any of the subjects except the one who was Dr. Japers, who was fooled into having his name stolen by the rabbit person and now the rabbit person has taken Dr. Japers' place.

Far too lenient on the number of Yakuza trophies you should have to be able to buy a PS5!

You basically got it. It's been a while since I read the whole thing myself but another aspect is that names/titles carry identity, so having your name stolen or switched by the faeries also changes who or what you are. That's what's happening to a lot of the subjects, some of whose situations are pretty horrifying.

There's also some Deep SCP Lore in there where one of the canons is about the Foundation loving over faeries in the distant past and this SCP is that coming back to bite them.

A lot of it is. I'd say at least 80% of what's posted is crap or just trying way too hard to be clever. There's enough that's actually good to keep me occasionally checking in every few months, though.

It doesn't matter--he used the same name/title (epithet) three times, so it became the entity's name and summoned it/gave it power.

The rule is to never refer to anything faerie-related by the same term three times or it becomes a title they can magically use to influence things.

I remember reading a joke SCP once that was a pile of dirty dishes in a break room.

Because everyone there swears that they've been doing their own dishes, yet the pile gets ever larger, so it clearly must be the work of an SCP.

Just a bunch of scientists being passive aggressive against each other.

ohhhhh, I hadn't realized it was three times, I had thought the repeated use of "fellow scholar" in the Dr. Japers story was just restating for the audience that he'd hosed up. gently caress, that's a good one. I also really enjoyed the Otamatone one, I love all the SCPs that are just nice

There was a Sci-fi miniseries with the premise of various objects in a particular hotel room becoming imbued with power, somehow (some of it incredibly worthless, like a penny that makes more pennies but not too many pennies), and a detective investigates it. He pulls out his gun on a guy.

"What's the gun do?" "It shoots bullets."
