Exploring the SCP Foundation: SCP-7838 - The Patchwork King and the Flayed Men's Court

[@RedMeansRecording]

Definitely way more gruesome and less cosmic horror than the original interpretation

I just looked at your channel out of benign curiosity and I need to know how you have videos with views as low as 4k with half a million subscribers.

[@narkle9723]

​@@jasonbarry3301 He's got a few with millions of views that are very old. Just another classic example of the algorithm no longer favouring some people.

[@justinsmith5870]

The "guest in the garden" part is pretty on point though. For both parawatch and Alagadda.

Even if you don't see this comment, I just want you to know that you have given me untold hours of entertainment, company and interesting stories over these last year's as I have listened and relistened to your videos. Many a night shift and boring work day has been lightened and made just that much better thanks to your spectacular narration and endlessly enjoyable content. I hope that your contribution to both mine and the lives of others in the battle against monotonous boredome brings you much success and fulfilment in life in all you strive to acheive. From all who listen to the one who narrates; Thank You!

I feel this. Mangg’s voice has guided me through the worst times in my life over the past seven years. Friends die, lovers depart, but Mangg stays unwavering.

The sarkic school of acting has good bones but they rely on improve & audience participation to flesh out the performances. Now the mekhanites are built to act on a script. Not everyones wired that way. The dancings a bit mechanical. Now I'm craving a crossover scp, not unlike "4485-such black light" that had the "broken church" and "are we cool yet?".

[@Zackrobotheart]

I LOVE ALLAGADIAN SCPs! I remember seeing 701 back in the pre-wiki days, as a post on /x/, and its always been my favorite. I kinda lost interest in scp for a few years after the wiki first became a thing, and one day around when exploring series started covering SCPs I had a dream about the hanged king. I watched a friend of mine rehearsing the hanged king's tragedy with a theatre group in this dream. It made me realize I had forgotten about the hanged king and SCP in general, and I started reading more about it again because of this random dream out of the blue. I read the king in yellow, I read the other SCPs tagged as allagada, and was shocked to see things that resembled this odd dream I'd had apropos of nothing. I don't think any other SCP, no matter how well written or how original an idea, can ever approach this level getting under my skin so to speak. It was truly bizarre to me at the time, and even looking back at it, I see why people I tell about this think I am spinning them a yarn or working on a creepy pasta or arg or something. I will NEVER forget the hanged king and I love to see new tales and SCPs about it, or about allagada itself.

[@0life365]

Series 8 has another good hanged king article: SCP-7462

[@kiri9089]

Nice

[@NoahHamlen]

Thanks for the recommendation, that was good

[@PrlePnet]

More Hanged King! I love all the content related or similar to the King in Yellow. It's just so cool and interesting.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Sweet, a return of Hanged King and Alagadda story elements. Always interesting, the Foundation forcing certain kriffed items and articles to become lost media. 21:41: No, folks, not Spider-Men. 23:00: Geez, that sounded like The Butterfly Effect. Is the parchment script showing events that have already happened, or events that could have been?

[@soarel325]

Finally a good one. 701 is my favorite SCP and I'm glad there's someone on the site who can still do it justice. This is everything that most current SCPs aren't. I like the new element of him wanting an heir

[@IOSALive]

The Exploring Series, great content you deserve more subscribers

[@davidmilivojevic2728]

Fuck yeah, i love The Hanged King articles

[@ProvehitoInAltum9009]

Keep it up! I love your work almost everything you've covered!

[@EliWhitewood]

A more interesting idea than The Hanged King and Alagdagga merely being forgotten is if they are in the midst of a Samothrace-like situation. Or even a Daevite-like situation, where they are being purposely sealed by knowlege of them or lack of knowledge of them.

[@angelscribner9719]

Ive been waiting a while for a non-pataphysical SCP lol. Thank you!

[@Chris-lk9ug]

TES video on the hanged king was my first TES video. One of my favorite that I revisit every few months. Excited for this one.

I super loved the Hanged King as a concept and I was very glad to see more of him. Kinda hope he has a bit more of the esoteric, psychological horror in future rather than the visceral icky horror though. Creeping dread yay, making me have to throw away half my lunch boo.

[@CoperliteConsumer]

Don't forget "the wandsman of alagada" that was the story that introduced me to the hangedking and I was hooked ever since!

This is a great addition to the Alagadda canon. It’s not super deep, but I like the direction the author is going and the liberties he/she took are well done and worth while.

Hold up. I wrote a song many years ago called "Inside Outside, Upside Down". I have no idea what made me write it, and it has the word air in it, similar to heir. This is tripping me out. Did I make an SCP??

You may be under the effects of the Hanged King

[@tobigrantlbart]

Scarlet King? Nah who needs that one Hanged King tho? Great stuff

[@masterzoroark6664]

On the certain thing I noticed The King's rage, rage at lacking a "Worthy heir" and rage at being forgotten. I wouldn't be supprised that if The King awakes once more and says another decree with his own voice he will order war at the ones who want his country forgotten

[@frostingthebirthdayclown3774]

If I’m understanding this right (and theres no way that I am) the Hanged King wasn’t just forgotten, he rules over all that is banished from memory; therefore it makes sense amnestics wouldn’t have much of an effect at removing the knowledge

Is it weird that I saw Alagada as described in the exploration files years before the SCP foundation was even a thing on the internet? I'm guessing it's just a piece of common nightmare imagery but it is still impressive someone else saw the same thing I saw

[@Mr.Ambrose_Dyer_Armitage_Esq.]

I don't know if I'll ever have kids but, if I do, I'm going to tell them stories like that of the *_Inside/Outside Castle - Upside/Downside King,_* along with real German faerytales like the original *_Der Sandmann_* those of the Brüder Grimm. More times than not, the "Old Ways" are best.

[@matthewscott9737]

I'd say the body horror part of it is the Ambassador of Alagadda. Murderous and manipulative is Hanged King, Body horror is Ambassador/Patchwork King. Just my interpretation...

[@julianstone1192]

22:23 sigh if only the Hanged King was real, good riddance useless politicians lmao Seriously amazing video, really happy for some more Hanged King content, always have been fascinating and wanted to see more SCPs/Tales related I’m a degen but experienced with Lucid Dreaming, I wonder what would happen if I visited Alagadda could be a lot fun or a horror show depending on the ambassadors capriciousness I guess Is there a fan made version of the Hanged Kings tragedy? An SCP themed stage play would be cool, as long as we don’t all kill each other I guess, thanks for the bedtime stories TES!

[@SuperSaiyanKJ]

Screw Marvel! We need a SCP Foundation Cinematic Universe!

[@videocrowsnest5251]

If the Hanged King is the ruler of forgotten things, I wonder what exactly the Ambassador of Alagadda originaly was? Or the various lords of Alagadda? Feels like they'd be forgotten gods of a sort to me with how madly powerful they are. Also, does that mean forgotten things tend to just end up in Alagadda? Much of human history is forgotten, for example. It thus would fall under the rule of the Hanged King. Feels like there is a lot of stories that could play around with these notions to come, as that is quite the domain to hold for an entity.
