Lord Blackwood coming up always brings a smile to my face

[@ricardohoang8452]

Take lord Blackwood a long time to discover more of kaktusverse

[@Based_Gigachad_001]

This SCP has blackwood? Nice.

[@grilledleeks6514]

Yeah he's a favorite for sure

[@undeadprinceofchaos3731]

Same, seeing Lord Blackwood appear always promises to give us quite a story.

[@jongyon7192p]

This time, Blackwood was not smiling

[@Wineblood]

Blackwood hit the end credits and was so depressed he just broke character.

[@Big_E_Soul_Fragment]

The Exploring Series explores explorers exploring the edge of the world

[@inaquianallforce4042]

The exploration log explores themes of explorations while exploring the psyche of the explorers as they explore.

[@Sk8ngInDuval]

I’d fall off the edge of the earth with you guys any day.

[@Heizenberg32]

My life is nothing like I thought it would be and everything I feared it would become because for 30 seconds I thought that there were monsters on the world

[@Mondy667]

I am edging to the edge of the world

[@rannnoch]

​@@Heizenberg32did i leave my life to chance? Or did I shit my fucking pants??

[@logankimmet3465]

Im surprised a sailbot with gps trackers and a couple D class wasnt sent over the edge for shits and giggles.

[@whitemagus2000]

It's meant to be very poetic, but very out of place in the SCP universe. It's doesn't seem like any attempt to explore or explain it was made at all. I get what they're going for, but I just don't think its a good story for the SCP world.

[@comradecameron3726]

@@whitemagus2000Yeah. That’s why I started to write my own short stories. Because SCPs are fun but generally sterile.

[@ScarletSilverIron]

If was series 1 or 2 yeah. But the modern fan base would down vote to oblivion

[@MaleusMaleficarum]

​@@ScarletSilverIron SCPs... but for a "modern audience." All good things must end.

[@Greendalewitch]

@@whitemagus2000 I personally feel that it fits in better than those SCP that are abstract concepts, such as heywire going on in the brain, sending electrones to the left instead of right, or something to that effect. Been a while since I read those articles. I found them incomprehensible and stupid.

[@RinneAvicula]

I like the idea that the ones who have stayed on the Last Outpost the longest are the ones most at peace with it, like the old keeper, Armond and Aurélie. The explorers who stayed only briefly saw it as a hard limit, a horrible and unknowable thing. Armond, who was able to give his love a body that would never die, who found his peace in the time they spent together, saw the End as a miracle. When he knew his time had come, he walked over the edge by choice, on his own terms, and never fell. He just turned and waved. There’s something profound about that.

[@Oyrou]

I wonder what it means for him to have suddenly become young again before vanishing with the setting sun. Perhaps it means nothing at all is simply an ending to a tale, but that feels way too lame to be true.

[@BlackMoonHowls]

@@Oyrou What was that movie called where an old man progressively reverted age and experienced things in his youth he never was able to? I want to say, "Seventeen Again" but I don't think that was it and I don't quite remember what it was titled and also sort of confusing it in my own head as the movie "Mr. Nobody". So where am I at for that thing?

[@BlackMoonHowls]

Okay so that means it is also a subjective entry into the universe of SCP meaning YOU personally get to pick and choose what DOES and what DOES NOT exist in the SCP. Additionally, the simple implication that the "Memetics Division Does Not Exist" is a SUPER MASSIVE ONE alongside like the Infinite Ikea and The Flesh That Hates, perpetual and also similar to some of the other ones like Existential Abatement and that house that was turned into that mansion and castle that "created" the "Idea" of the machine that turns shit into other shit by just an old school washing machine switch setting you know the old "dials" and turns of the things. We all KNOW and interacted with in in all of our Father's basements. The fear of going down a dark unlit path of concrete steps to you damned doom at ANY given moment even in the middle of the day (kid stuff), only to pull a light string in the middle of the darkened assed room just before you COULD NOT even see your GD trembling hand in front of your sweaty face. Yeah, fuck that I wanted MY bedroom down IN THE basement because of Jack Spicer and Xiaolin Showdown, until I realized You DO NOT WANT THAT kind of thing. Nor do you want to be fking fat assed like Tubbimura even in the Two Ton Tunic.

[@BlackMoonHowls]

FKING YT making me read like for twenty minutes of MY OWN COMMENT to see what trash the corpos changed in the wording. THREE letters from the word, "Fucking" changed to fking. The damend R tarded ASSES! everything else is "fine" WTFF what the fucking fuck??!

[@spectrumstudios4848]

Are we already in the 8000’s already? It feels like yesterday I just started listening to your SCP readings. Love your work TES.

[@RainbowGod666]

ALSO I STILL REMEMBER WHEN 30% OF THE 4K SLOTS WERE EMPTY HAHAHAHAHAHA _and then suddendly the 5k-con happened and all got loose_

[@microwavedcheetos]

I bet we're gonna hit 10k in less than 2 years

[@bizzzzzzle]

I don’t read them so are 900 of ever 100 just that bad that nooone cares outside of the site

[@undeadprinceofchaos3731]

I know right?! I swear the 7000 digits just started last year!

[@UGNAvalon]

@bizzzzzzle bc the fan base has grown so much, the submission process for articles has grown much stricter. That said, there’s still dozens of new submissions every day, and a few dozen critiquers/greenlighters reviewing them all.

[@arcadiaberger9204]

There was a legend in the Middle Ages of an island far out in the Atlantic on which stood a statue which held up a hand. On the base of the statue were the words *NE PLUS ULTRA,* meaning, *_"This far, and no further."_* Some versions of the story said the statue faced eastward and held up a hand, and the motto warned voyagers, *_"You must go no further!"_* Others said the statue faced west, and pointed onward, and the motto invited them, saying, *_"We only got this far!"_*

[@circependragon1201]

I’ll admit it. I cried a little after reading this skip. The ending was so simply optimistic and hopeful, and I don’t get to feel this way very often anymore. The kaktus guy did it again.

[@IRageMetal]

His verse is so vast and well fleshed out, I'm surprised he didn't win the 8000 submission.

[@matthewparker5277]

​@IRageMetal it's honestly criminal that he didn't win, his are way more fleshed out and well written than most other skips

[@pesty4592]

@@IRageMetalI’m kinda confused how the seal scp won it, I’m all for goofy fun stuff but that was kinda lame for the 8 thousandth scp.

[@IRageMetal]

@pesty4592 He has his own cannon on the site, he's an author of so many entries and his story line is easy to digest for newcomers. And it did fit within the theme of the 8000 entry.

[@ultra824]

I was only a few minutes into rhis video when i though "hmm, I wonder if Blackwood's been here" I didn't really expect to get an answer, but I'm really happy with the way he was included here. He's definitely among my favorite characters in the SCP universe, and it's really interesting to see a very different side to him here.

[@damianpulido4712]

Same, I thought where is blackwood?

[@Layney25]

Keep it up man, I've watched your collection 100's of times over. Easily the most talented SCP reader in the world, you have a great clear voice & do well filtering through the various articles and not reading unnecessary lines yet reading verbatim when you see fit. Purely perfection !

[@joshweber2521]

Infinite rewatch value as long as you fall asleep before the end. 😊

[@ivanpetrov5255]

Been there, done that 😂

[@IWearShoes31]

I listen to his videos in bed and there are some videos like "SCP-6624 Il Maestro del Rancore" I've probably listen too over 50+ times, the voice acting is top tier in that one

[@johnpark4650]

Same here, with 3935 (This thing the quiet madness made), 5999 (This is where I died) and Project Palisade being my favorites, though I tend to go through most of the list evenly to avoid overlistening to boredom.

[@Rice_Consumer]

I love edging with [DATA EXPUNGED] at the Foundation

[@JjayNC8L]

It's not a lot, but it's what I can do when I can, I just wanted to say I appreciate everything you do, I love Warhammer, I love lovecraft stories, and above the others I love SCP content, and you do it in such a way that I find myself excited even when your posts come only weekly, and I just hope your doing alright, and know your audience hopes above your ability to post, that your doing okay.

[@jamesnorman9160]

I mean, having an SCP like this seems like a set up for a Flat Earth joke...but the more you read into it there's a definete melancholy there: all these intrepid explorers manage to reach the most remote location on the planet... And there's nothing else beyond it. That's it. Honestly, I'm not surprised many would view that as a let down.

[@cubed.public]

I like how in some anomalies the foundation throws D class in to see the extent and other anomalies they’re like “well, we flew some drones but there was a lot of mist, so we gave up”

[@SegaSonic2727]

[@michaelsanchez972]

[@1234kalmar]

I miss this channel a lot, but with my employment borne depression, the grimness of the topics that were the main draw for me are what drive me away. If I get the promised raise, I'll look you up on patreon tho

[@colorchangingring]

i had to take a break aswell due to a ptsd flare up! good on you for looking after your mental health, youre not alone

[@ReyaitheShadowWolf]

This one hit me hard in the feelings. Orrely and Armand's final meeting reminded me of Sam and Frodo on Mount Doom. Especially fitting since they are literally at the "end of all things"

[@downwindfish1]

I wanted to read this when it came out but I literally thought “I’ll wait for Exploring Series to make a vid on it” SCP articles don’t feel right without this channel, keep up the good work

[@darcydreaming6931]

Always been an optimist. I love how this SCP is a good allegory for death and what it entails, the possibilities that could or could not follow. There could be nothing after death, or there could be everything we could ever ask for. No one knows. No one has ever ventured far enough over that edge to know. There is only that dread of the unknown.

[@Omnicide13]

Blackwood is the type of adventurer who gets excited when peering into a void and the void stares back...however when you find a void and nothing looks back youre just left with hoping it had been more

[@cblake4111]

In regards of the theme of endings and the contrasting thoughts on both sides, I think 8001 strikes a good balance between both. While AN end to something, 8001 isn't strictly speaking THE end. The lighthouse is both mysterious and yet somehow comforting, not overly complex but not overly simple either; there are notably many worse ways for the journey to end, whether it be a horrific end, a depressing end, or (if I can be brutally honest) simply the product of unsatisfactory writing. A new chapter could be in the works, but this being the ending of this chapter isn't so bad.

[@EddiePGRPlayer420]

Honestly I don't feel the articles past the 7000 any longer, but I like the narration that Mangg gives to the videos, making them slightly more enjoyable. Thanks for that, Explorer

[@benmccormick8230]

I'm aware that it is selfish of me, but I want more for Blackwood. He is one of the Greatest Heroes within the SCP universe.

Feels like a counterpoint to the Lamplight SCP. Both of these hit similar ideas but have very different feels.

[@jimboslam]

This is one of my favorite SCPs so far. Really begs the thought of what was said "What would a man do with that information?" Knowing there is an edge. It ends.

[@aldgate]

This reminds me of the tragedy of space and its exploration. A place which is so vast, yet so inaccessible. As much as we may dream about it, none of us will ever be able to explore it in any depths further than shallow shores around our planet. At least for a long time, maybe a longer time than humanity will last.

[@Christian-gr3gu]

Holy shit what a FIRE way to end the scp the last line is just UGH so good

[@potatomatop9326]

I'm no expert on any SCP, but there's this survival SCP LEGO video where they were being haunted by this screaming white monster guy, and it gave me exactly the feeling I had when I first played RE2 back in 1998. Imagine a game like that, bro...

[@blkids2736]

Good news, there are SCP games, multiple in fact. Good luck!

[@UGNAvalon]

Sounds like SCP-096 The Shy Guy, one of the classics. There’s definitely plenty of videos featuring him on KZbin, and hopefully more than a few games.

[@devilrv89]

This story really earned its 01 slot. I'm a fan of SCP articles challenging more than just your tolerance for horror and insanity. This is the type of story that will cause dread in a certain personality but comfort in another. Well done.

[@brandonspears6996]

Being a cartographer back in the day must have been one hell of a job. I would like to know the process of what they did. Did they sail along the coast lines drawing the edges? It's fascinating to think about

[@TheMimiSard]

The point about stories always continuing in some way reminds me of what I have taken up doing in both fanfic and the videos of Pente Patrol - I tag on a mini follow-up to express an idea I have about how certain loose threads I perceive are sewn up. Given that my current fandom (since last May) is Star Wars, with a favouring towards Clone Wars era, often if the fic does not say anythign about Anakin, I will comment on him, especially if it is a time-travel fix-it set during Obi-Wan's youth. Other character who often pop up in my sewing of loose ends is Grogu (Baby Yoda) and Omega and the Bad Batch. I think that shows a bit about which characters I am fond of. So even in fanfic, someone can look at a finished story and say "I have a minor addendum, a little bit of continuation", or they can look at a fic and ask the writer "Can I write a continuation?". I tend to be the former, but I respect the latter, because they are more prepared to write fic than I.

[@heyitsfridayyy]

By far one of my favourite youtube channels, love the SCP readings! You have the perfect voice for it and you cover them to well AND you cover so many unique ones that no one else has. Your Warhammer stuff is also really nice. Keep it up man, love it and congrats! So close to 1 mil!

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

When I hear something about how attempts to navigate the water invariably result in the ship being swept off the edge, some people would say that this demonstrates you shouldn't try, but as a scientifically-minded person, I feel that it's proof that you need to find some new approach and keep trying, learning more from each failure until eventually you succeed.

[@Divadtube]

This reminds me of the line, "Perhaps this is not the end, or the beginning of the end, but instead merely the end of the beginning." I like the idea that instead of the final bastion at the end of the world, it is the first at the start of the rest of the universe. This was a Somber one.

[@avereth]

Sometimes you have to appreciate when the author has the restraint to build part of the SCP entry around the unknown in a way that doesn't involve redacted sections and its very existence raises profound questions instead of answers. I feel you lose a certain important aspect of SCP when everything is completely understood and solved.

[@Omega_A3]

This one was a pretty interesting SCP. I prefer it when an SCP article sticks to the more traditional format but this one is just presented exactly what it is and nothing more.

[@rynnziolkowski4642]

As a teller of stories, I appreciate the way the author wrote this, and I find I am left with a duality of emotion, hopeful optimism that some day the foundation might discover just what lies beyond the edge, yet as an amateur author myself, I can't shake the sense that Lord Blackwood is right, that in this one instance even in the SCP universe, this Skip is back of the book. It's a strange melancholic optimism for me, mostly born out of the desire to say that there can't truly be a back of the book, yet I fear we shall never know
