Exploring the SCP Foundation: Lord Blackwood in the Land of the Unclean

I have a theory that perhaps in the year 1910, Blackwood was somehow transformed into the seaslug, and refuses to accept the fact he has turned to such a creature. He refuses to acknowledge times past 1910 because he would not allow himself to accept the fact his journeys had ended because he had been transformed to a slug.

Even if they attempted mass production and use, we don’t know how many of the creatures there were. We don’t know what lengths the Government would have gone to try take back control.

Theory: Blackwood was slowly exposed to his substance (Blackwood's Tears) during his use of it against the Unclean. It acted similarly to the Lord's Tears, but slow-acting; it only started the transformation effect after Blackwood's return to his home. When used against Unclean, they kill the beast, and the people it makes up. But for live people, instead of turning them into unclean, it turns them into slugs. Those afflicted by Blackwood's Tears would be unaware of their effects. Just before Blackwood ended up in SCP containment, his transformation was complete, hence the British sea slug.

[@sflaningam7680]

@@e.v4892 Considering that things like Blackwood's Tears, Mister Deeds, and the house with all his other curios and research exist, combined with the fact that there never was an explanation or an attempt to find one on the Foundation's part as to how the Land of the Unclean went from global theocratic state to post-apocalyptic wasteland in their tests of the Red Sea Object, I'd say you have you have something here. Dark, as in MC&D, once sent his acting descendant an improved version of Blackwood's concoction, which she decided to name on the spot "Darkwood Tears." Given MC&D has a base in London, and the fact that Lord Blackwood is familiar with them by reputation, specifically Dark, or Blackwood refers to him in his accounts "the Deathless Merchant of London", this gives further credibility to the Lord's stories. As for what happened to that alternate reality, my theory is that when confronted with the evidence that Blackwood, who they knew as a member of the clergy and above reproach or doubt, had compiled for them to see distribute, the military must have gathered whatever troops they thought would support them and supplemented their numbers by broadcasting the truth to the public, leading the citizens in a revolt against the clergy. Who won the war was made irrelevant as the internal conflict left the borders unprotected, allowing the unclean to enter the cities. It then became a three-way conflict, as neither clergy nor revolutionary would back down and soon everyone either killed each other or was consumed. After that, most of the Unclean migrated to the wastelands, likely out of some conditioned instinct to return to their natural habitat. The only hiccup I have with your theory is that Blackwood himself was never directly exposed to his own substance(that we know of). It's more likely that during his experiments and countless attempts at making his namesake Tears, he was splashed with or unintentionally breathed in the fumes of several failed concoctions. This would explain the transformation into something far from human, its delayed effect, as well as the possible neurological effects that make him unaware of his current state as well as his possible memory gaps.

[@AnonEMus-cp2mn]

@@e.v4892 Never made that connection, I had always suspected that Blackwood either tried to find something equivalent to the fountain of youth which turned him into a biologically immortal sea slug, or the sea slug is not the real Blackwood (who died many years ago) but somehow retains his memories.

This is one of the greatest story telling lore of this SCP. I used to find that SCP uninteresting, but now I have grown to love it as this story put more spooks into my mind than ever before.

[@DeathlyQuietVA]

Broo.. SCP movies would be so cooool.. like even lord blackwood's tales as a movie would be AWESOME!!! Man I love these series. 😥👌😍

I love your videos man. They’ve been an exceptional source of entertainment for me, in very difficult times. Thank you

[@TheRealHelvetica]

The Red Sea object is one of my favorite SCP's due to how apocalyptic it was. I wish there were more tales of it like what exactly the alien entity claiming to be god is. The war that created the unclean. The first unclean and how humanity reacted to it, or what the surviving humans living in the space station made to run away from the unclean are like.

"This gun that is decades if not centuries more advanced than anything in my world will surely be of little use" What?

[@PandoraSlicer]

Well also it was heavily modified to shoot blackwood's tears then to shoot what was originally intended

[@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013]

I mean...it's just a semi-automatic tranquilizer gun. Given that he went there with a *disintegrator musket* it's not like it's even more advanced than what he already routinely walks around with.

[@collinb.8542]

[@eg_manifest510]

I like this story since it adds to the wonder when an 19th century naturalist finds himself in a 21st century style world, but then also being supernatural and dissimilar to ours in many ways, making it so that his awe of seeing our world is combined with our awe of seeing 093s world in a non-apocalyptic state

[@demonicdude1328]

Thanks for the free audio book, your voice is perfect for it

[@EvenlyDay]

This could really make a great animated movie.

[@ragingmoderate6791]

This is easily one of the best written tales and one of my favorites from the scp universe. The writing like a Gentleman from the early 1900s or late 1800s is dead on.

[@cooldude2722]

Now I'm imagining a tale where a Foundation employee ventures into the manor, finds Blackwood's Tears, and incites a full-on conquest of 093.

[@blackmage665]

I mean, They should. Those things could be a serious threat, sending in a good MTF with that gear would be wise. set up a base on the other side, send in attack helis with the compound as the weapons.

[@wilsthelimit]

This has become one of my favorite SCP articles, the terror and the corruption, but also that sweet release from a fate far worse from death, and a single stranger from an unknown land that caused it all, this is how you tell a grand story

[@kingnaga619]

An entire hour? Bless you man.

[@genkoti]

Lord Blackwood has always been one of my favorite skips. I see the name, and I click!

[@NPC-nn4qe]

"Him", huh? Where are the Powerpuff Girls when you need them?

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

I think this might be my favorite exploration and SCP.

[@CaptainObliviousV]

I always thought the original 093 was just ok, not bad or anything, just the typical bizarre alternate dimension stuff you’d expect from the foundation. Blackwood’s story however, with how it’s recontextualized 093, has managed to turn it into one of my favorites.

[@Evil_Monologues]

I wanna hear more about this lord blackwood, the way he studied and researches so carefully before ever even entering the mirror is a level of planning rarely seen, and his ability to think on his feet his nifty as well

[@skylerhall1537]

Hes legit one of my faves- you should look for "The Hunt of The Tarasque" where he and teddy Roosevelt get their shit rocked by scp 682

[@joshuafogg6600]

I want to hear more of Lord Blackwood's adventures.

[@derfnosdivad4841]

I drive a semi cross country and when music just isn't cutting it, I tune in on an exploring series reading and let the miles fly...thanks for all you do.

[@TheFrostFlame]

Watching at 3 am and I thought that this story was really great with showing the world of the SCP-093 and I would love to see more of lord Blackwood.

[@mattandreahmay3575]

So its safe to say that Lord Blackwood is the very model of a modern major general, with information animal, vegetable, and mineral.

[@gobboslobbo6784]

I fucking LOVED this, I really enjoy fiction in the form of a tale told by the classic explorer type, it gives it a nostalgic feel, and the raw dark feel of this story is a huge bonus

[@gusbrown2038]

I love the typical scps, and the logs and stuff, yet nothing is better than the stories that are borne from different scps.

[@KindOldRaven]

Btw: This is epic. I've been listening to this during my stay-at-home-workshift of answering e-mails and it's really, really good. Absolutely worth the full listen.

[@kingpincj700]

You should do more of Blackwood's tales. These are really cool.

[@wormwoodtheburningone1142]

This is one of my favorite tales.Takes me back to when I first got into the scp universe. Can't wait for your next scp exploring episode.If I could make a suggestion 3007: world of two artists. I think that is the number.

Even if you made this video, because you wanted to take a break, you made yourself quite an effort.
