WITCHCRAFT posted:That's exactly why I asked. Was wondering how others felt about it since several people replied to the link without mentioning it at all. I thought it was pretty reasonable, although I found 6080 mostly to be okay (clearly a labor of love, but rough around the edges, and the ending has that weird wanky "watch my OCs fight" feeling going on). I think it helps that 6080's sexual assault analogy actually makes sense for the SCP and their history and is clear without being excessively elaborated on; a lot of the other articles with lovely rape-horror have it thrown in because it's just the grossest thing the writer can think of, or because the author just wants an excuse to write it and kind of spackles in the rest.

They were believed to have gone extinct 66 million years ago, but one was discovered-" "Right, the coriander. So what are we looking at, here? Time warp? Dimension shift? Resurrection? Cloning? Robot? Alien? Alien robot?? Retro-active causality? Reality changer? ...a drat ghost?" "Nnnno, sir, it appears to just... be a fish. That we thought were all gone, but there were actually some left.

I got to this article, from, I think, the Kenowhere one. Which I had read before. And I read it again like the post said. And I fully enjoyed it again. It's a really good one. Read it. Anyway, remember that guy in your high school/young adult friend group that loved Monty Python and the Holy Grail and/or Flying Circus? And they would start quoting it at random and other people in the group would go along with the lines? That individual is a cognitohazard SCP. If you never knew a person like that the article probably loses some of its punch. A Møøse once bit my sister etc. https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2476

AITA for listening to worm music? Recently I discovered worm music and i’m addicted to it. I listen to it all the time. I introduced some of my friends to worm music and they all love it too. The only person who doesn’t like it is my mom. when i put on worm music in the car she calls it gay and retarded and “not even music” After that I just decided to not play worm music in the car. Fast forward a few days and I was in my room playing worm music really loud. The thing about worm music is that when it’s loud it’s not really loud. My mom was across the house and she went over to the kitchen to get a drink and then she heard my worm music. She stormed into my room and screamed at me to turn it off. Am I the rear end in a top hat?

girl dick energy posted:There are now several newer SCPs that execute the same idea in more compelling ways, I think this one just gets by on nostalgia and inertia. Maize Angel is a good one. And when you think about it, if you've ever paid taxes in the United States, you're definitely going to heaven. Mazerunner posted:"Alright, so we got some sort of... fossil fish? Dino fish? Swimming around Argentina. A cole... co-el? Coler..." The Explained series has several of these. Jurassic Symbiotic Quadruped. The Dowsing Rod. A Completely Normal Bomb.

And that means at the end, when the O5 tried to write “O5 is (inside) Transcendence”, the response part of the way through was for Transcendence to become Outside, which in Baba terms is like if a noun were to stop respecting the word “is.” And the trick with 682 was just them trying to put 682 inside of itself so it’d eat itself/ turn inside out /disappear in a puff of logic. And this, as these things always tend to do with 682, worked very well right up until it didn’t. girl dick energy has a new favorite as of 12:44 on Sep 6, 2021 |

I think so yes, it is ambiguous as to what the concept of "inside" means exactly but you can draw inferences based on the test results, such as a containment chamber going inside a person causes them to die but the scientist going inside the concept of O5 appears to make them O5-7 but does not make the rest of the O5s OK with this. There is also the option that "outside" is also more literal than it might appear, as apparently somebody tried to use it to give dr bright the shits but it didn't work, though the doctor then ended up going "inside" the concept of intestinal distress which is equal parts confusing and unpleasant to think about. It is ambiguous I think how much control they have over whether something becomes, or goes, inside, as the process is not specified and some of the test logs suggest it is uncontrolled, though perhaps towards the later tests they get more control over it.

quote:#14 D-91826 O5-12 As the last three tests were conducted without direct order from the Council and with catastrophic results, reality was restored to the state before test #12. I'm confused about the 'last three tests'. Are we supposed to be reading in extra tests that aren't logged?

Has AWCY improved since the start where all they did was banksy type “they call them smartphones... but they do not make us smart. We truly live in a society.” Stuff but with magic? You really got the sense in the early ones that the writers didn’t really know much about art theory or history and as a result just made them caricatures of modern artists when there are a ton of more interesting routes they could have gone with

We truly live in a society.” Stuff but with magic? some of the AWCY GOI format Project Proposal articles are good, they're a lot closer to how art patronage is sought irl I can't remember what it is, but there's one that comments on the tendency for authors to make AWCY into pretentious nihilistic edgelords (which, tbf, is not an unreasonable takeaway from such as The Factory): an artist submits a proposal that's p much mortal body horror terror and blood sacrifice for no reason, and the patron's denial letter is like "come on. do better than this edgy schlock."
