Thank you for covering my entry to the 8000 contest. This article is easily the best SCP I’ve made, I think Was a constant struggle to come up with a narrative that was both entertaining and embodied the insane tragedy of the loss i experienced (for those interested, the author post in the discussion of the article goes into detail) The way this article was written was meant to evoke the blind panic and dreamlike existence when you’ve lost someone in a traumatic way. Interesting fact, all three perspectives (Lindqvist, the Daevites, and the SCP-1000 entities) are all coming to the events with the same mentality: denial of the trauma/loss, and refusing to accept things, raging against the futility of trying to change something terrible that’s happened to them.

[@magnolia1253]

Thank you for your service, my friend. I greatly appreciate this story. I personally may have never suffered that way, but I can understand through sympathy and empathy. I'm also a fan of Daevite culture, so your story tickled all the right spots for me.

[@grigorikarpin]

@@magnolia1253 glad you liked it, I’ve actually got a whole series on the Daeva and also I wrote the hub, which has a lot of lore that I created… (to be clear I was not the original author who wrote the first Daeva)

[@NolanRyanVA]

This was my favorite entry for 8kCon, not just for the story but because it was written from such a deeply personal place that I relate to so much. I won't give specific details out of respect for Grigori (but he tells about it in the discussion forum for the article) but he lost someone he deeply loved a decade ago, and this article was a way to convey that trauma of struggling to accept such an immense loss. I lost my father almost a decade ago as well, when I was just a teenager. It took me years to try and come to terms with it and find a way to move on. When I first read this story, it drove me to tears as I was reminded of the pain I suffered during that time. But it was good to feel that, because it allowed me to look back on all the things I loved about him and the part of him I still carry with me. You can't change the past, no matter how much you want to. But the pain of it doesn't have to last.

[@undeadprinceofchaos3731]

I can agree with you on this. This is also one of my favorite 8K entries, as SCP-1000, one of my all time favorite concepts on the wiki is involved. But I also agree with you on the feels it can make you feel. I too lost my father more than a decade ago, and I too had trouble moving on from his death. But while I still miss him, I was able to move on and ensure I could go through life in a way that would’ve made him proud.

@@1LLog1K thank you, but just to clarify my feeling behind the writing of this article had more to do with having trouble accepting a traumatic loss and getting over the PTSD it caused Mostly my regrets are irrational, because nothing I could’ve done would have changed anything, but the brain plays tricks

We've gotten lore on the Fae, the Mechanites, the Children of the Night, the Sky Kings, and the Daevites. We NEED Sarkite lore!

[@emil1842]

You should check out the in memoria aditum cannon

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

Don’t we have like...12 videos about them by now?

[@connorthornberg]

Depending on your canon, the Sarkites and Daevites come from the same civilization. The Sarkites led a slave revolt against the Daevite empire and then founded adytum. Rounderhouse's Jade Proposal focuses on the Mekhanites, Daevites, and Sarkites, and the final video of that should be coming out on this channel at some point soon since the article was posted recently. You can also check out Project Paragon from the Kaktusverse (my favorite scp canon). If you want videos just focused on Sarkites, tes has 2 compilation videos dedicated to just them, as well as other full stories like Orok's Fall and the classic The Flesh That Hates.

[@rickwrites2612]

The anthropology one that discusses rural Old World pockets of pre-modern practitioners is good. However I am in rabid anticipation of a Rounderhouse anomalous archeology Sarhite-centered 001 proposal, to go with their Gold Proposal the Mehkanite-centered "Amoni Rom" and their Jade Proposal the Daevite-centered "Mamjul and Korar". A Bone proposal perhaps? However Rounderhouse hasn't written one so it can't be on here until it exists. My understanding is that Rounderhouse intended to write this the Sarkhite version some point, but I do not know if that's still intended. I imagine it's alot of work and very time consuming.

[@lancepharker]

While my favorite story about the Daevites is the one where the book catches up to modern day they turn into just a normal country, this is now a close second.

[@magnolia1253]

​@@grigorikarpinThat he would suceed in changing history

[@grigorikarpin]

@@EspeonMistress00 well, that was definitely intentional misdirection :)

[@ultra824]

a thought: What if the Child of the Night that was advocating for them to go to war with the daeva wasn't being entirely honest? What if they also knew of the Daevite propensity for meddling with time, and hoped to undo humanity's victory over the CotN? It would make for a nice bit of symmetry with the modern-day narrative.

[@abydosianchulac2]

It'd be hard to see how he _could_ know about that, given CoN isolation. And I wouldn't understand him not telling that truth, since undoing their species' dominance shift scenario would probably appeal to many there.

[@grigorikarpin]

So, the Child of the Night isn’t aware of the Daevites’ time shenanigans because this is sorta before all that (something the foundation knows only in hindsight) BUT the children of the night are intended to evoke a similar emotional state of mind as the researcher: desperation and denial of trauma. The Daevites, The SCP-1000 and the researcher are all meant to mirror each other in their futile desperation to change what happened

[@abydosianchulac2]

@@grigorikarpin Ah, so the part where the researcher says they'd never before seen sections of 140 relating to this battle indicates they just didn't do a good enough job copying information down? Not that these objects had impacted reality in the re-living of the memories?

[@grigorikarpin]

@@abydosianchulac2 that’s left intentionally vague as no one really knows how SCP-140 works - does it act on its own? Or does the person expanding it provide some direction? All they know is that these artifacts weren’t there before, and 140 has been expanded, but they don’t know how (important to note that the Foundation does not have every copy of 140)

I freaking LOVE Daevic skips!! Thanks for keeping the awesome content flowing, love ya Mang!

[@czcrossman]

I forgot I already watched this one lol I swear I’ve re-watched every one of TES’s SCP videos a half dozen times 😂

[@masterzoroark6664]

I really like how there is so many interpretations of The Big Foot (SCP-1000) amongs the stories (let alone the Daeva, tho they are mostly concreatly stated as evil/dubious mage archetype) We have ones where they are set up as liers who deserved the destruction, ones where they are truly alien, singleminded hive listening to a mad sleeping king, and this one- another civilization that paralleled humanity, but through wars and invasions they died out, not dissimilarly to neanderthals tho they also got "bred out" due to being compatible with homo sapiens.

[@czcrossman]

This was a cool one, for some reason giving me Spider Man: No Way Home vibes lol like the main character going to absurd lengths to change the past & rewrite history to avoid a painful situation, only to completely misunderstand the mechanism they’re using to “fix things” and ultimately end up hurting many others & making their own situation vastly worse.

You are the only SCP content narrator I listen to over the years. A lot of people simply read out what's written in the articles as it is, but you really put in the hard work and introduce these stories in a way that's very comfortable to listen to and immerse. I will always adore these series because they bring back memories of listening to horror stories when I was a kid, it's another world, a magical feeling.... thank you!

[@Deaiden]

Daevites are my all time favorite subject in all of SCP verse Literally endless storytelling potential

[@zeliardforty-two4692]

It’s interesting that the Daevites had the magic to rewrite history but where nearly wiped out completely. If it wasn’t for their artifacts retaining their memories and abilities, they would have been left to the forgotten past. I am a solid believer in the idea that one should never try and change the past as the result is often worse off then before. I think this was what the ritual here was trying to prevent. In their increasingly dangerous attempt to preserve themselves they nearly wiped out their own existence. I think the researcher should have seen this, but of course was effectively blinded by the potential of what he discovered

memories are as much a part of your personal reality as your current perception. without them, there is no past, and the present can become anything someone else wants it to be. one of the most terrifying and insidious forms of control imaginable. is it better to know you are being controlled but have no way to stop it, or to be controlled because you have no idea that its even happening?

[@EspeonMistress00]

I do think at the end the Foundation did him a bit of mercy tho. Since they couldn't amnestisize the memories from the anomalies, they couldn't kick him out the Foundation and report his sister's death as a normal work related accident. This was the only way to keep him stabe with how this anomaly worked.

History is SOMETIMES written by the victors, but more frequently it's written by people 50-200 years after any given conflict, who are either trying to legitimise themselves and their actions by tagging them on to some perceived golden age of the past, or delegitimising their enemies by tagging them to some terrible dark age.
