I’d like to show you an abyss.
Locked within its depths are bewildering and uncanny abominations. The keepers of this abyss believe they are in control… They are wrong. This abyss is... the universe of SCP, which began as a seemingly straightforward website where community-members create and classify abominations. Yet from the site, the franchise has grown so vast, influenced so many people, that trying to fathom its totality feels like gazing into an unending expanse.
So, for this entry into the archive, I’ll explore not just the universe itself, but how SCP became one of the most gargantuan and uncontainable forces on the internet.

One of my favorite things about the SCP universe is that the SCP database itself is in fact a SCP. I forget what number it is. But one of the entries basically says that the SCP foundation itself is a self-aware former fiction that's actively trying to fight against its creaters

I think one of the reasons the SCP Foundation outlived many of it's contemporary creepypasta was the tonal difference, you can have an article about a murder monster, a cosmic God and a list of very gruesome ways to die next to an annoying robot who can't stand up, a blob of jello that causes happiness and the time a researcher met a talking cat from another universe. It adds to the diversity and makes the world feel more intriguing in some way.

Everyone in the comments was talking about how screwed the aliens were, and i had to investigate.

[@chemputer]

3:35 I feel like it's *incredibly* important to explain _WHY_ Peanut (SCP 173) had its image removed. It _was_ indeed because it was an unlicensed photo, yes, but it's more complicated than that; the author wasn't using copyright to pull down the image. Rather, he _graciously_ *ALLOWED* the use of the image on the site, for years. However, the SCP Project is supposed to be Creative Commons License compliant (specifically CC-BY-SA 3.0 - In English, BY= Attribution, SA=Share-Alike, so: "Attribute the author(s), and any derivative works must be shared under the same license", there's more to the CC license than _just_ that, but that's the gist.), and, well, that image just is not compatible with the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license! So it had to go. It was the collection of people who run the site's decision, not the copyright owner's decision. I _guess_ he could've released it under that license, but that's a HUGE ask from someone already giving the SCP community so much by just allowing them to use the image of his own statue, for free, for years, and nobody was going to ask him for that. Please don't throw any hate his way, that is basically what I'm saying here. It wasn't his fault, nor his decision.

[@dimetrodon2250]

The fact that a random Bureaucratic decision from people not directly involved at all being the reason why the image was removed feels thematically appropriate

[@anachibi]

Thanks for the explanation, since the last time I checked, the image was still up and I knew the artist had allowed its usage. Copyright law sure is bizarre sometimes.

[@FrenchLightningJohn]

and that's why copyright is a useless thing as it destroy any creativity and stop us for moving forward without fear

[@chemputer]

@@FrenchLightningJohn I don't think you understood what I said, as copyright was only tangential to the story (the image was literally stolen and uncredited and the owner still allowed it's use for free) and nobody was forced to take it down, they chose to in order to make the whole site under one license (this is incredibly important for many reasons, such as future SCP games), but in any case, this is a very naive take. No, in general, copyright is a good thing, but the length of time things stay copyrighted is ridiculous, and *that* stifles creativity. That's Disney's fault. It should be more like 10-20 years, not life of author + 70 years as it currently is. Chances are very good you'll never live to see Harry Potter, The Expanse, or Game of Thrones in the Public Domain. We wouldn't have many of your favorite intellectual properties without copyright allowing the creator to profit from the effort they put into it without fear that someone else can just sell it as their own without having to do any of the work.

[@benvelveeta6803]

One of my favorite aspects of the SCP series is how they handled the concept of SCP-001. Such an SCP with that title implies that whatever it is, it was important enough to be the FIRST anomaly ever to be categorized and documented, possibly even to the point of creating the Foundation as a whole. But as you mentioned, the entries didn't start at one, it started all the way at 173. So with that in mind, how on earth do you decide on an entry that will forever be seen as the canonical "first SCP?" Simple. You declare there are MULTIPLE SCP-001 entries. When you visit its page it tells how due to the nature of 001 being so important to the foundation, they decided to insert several "fake" SCP-001 proposals to further bury and protect the "true" document. As of this post there are dozens of entries claiming to be the one, ranging in all manner of scale and tone, just like the entire database as a whole. So which one is the canonical first SCP? Whichever one you think fits the most in your headcanon. Such a creative way to handle what could've easily been a divisive topic.

[@abydosianchulac2]

I like the one that automatically puts itself at the start of any list, so it's impossible to know what SCP-001 actually was.

What I find most interesting about SCP, is that it is the only fandom I’ve ever heard of that started from it’s own existence, unlike many other fandoms I am acquainted with, this is the first I’ve heard of where the entire thing is community driven and the fan content is the stuff you would usually see people making fan content of. It’s about equally as fun, weird and interesting as the fandom itself

[@JuntosXlaLibertadMileyBuIIrich]

Well it isn't the first thing actually although one of the most popular. You have mugen for example, a (freeware) fighting game maker engine which appeared almost 30 years ago and still existing only because the community keeps making content for it

[@PloverTechOfficial]

@@JuntosXlaLibertadMileyBuIIrich yes, what I was saying being the first I had heard of. And to clarify I don’t particularly think that mugen, counts (I may be wrong) yes mugen is community driven, but I think it would count more had the community formed the game engine from nothing and created assets for each other and code to build.

Thats what they want you to think! The truth is the SCP foundation is real and leaked documents spawned the SCP wiki and the SCP foundation decided it was too big to be silenced without being suspicious so they started posting to it both real and fake information to throw people off their tracks.

[@AlfonsoSRT]

One of my favorite SCPs is 871: a cake that makes another cake, whichever kind of cake, if it's not eaten every day. It's silly that it's simply a cake, but can literally overrun the planet if not taken care of.

[@Cp-71]

One undeservingly obscure thing on the SCP wiki are the foreign entries. In essence, there are subsections for communities from different countries that make their own articles - and hardly anyone from the main English one ever hears or talks about them. There are some real masterpieces hidden there - the first that comes to my mind is SCP-PL-126.

My personal favorite pick for SCP:001 is that the foundation itself is an anomalous entity. That the sites and personnel just appear from some extrademensional space and start "testing and containing" artifacts that seemingly generate from nowhere. The implication is that all of the hundreds of impossible horrors so far are just experiments from something unimaginably powerful and amoral, which is slowly learning about our world by poking permanent holes in its logic and physics.

Another pretty cool game based on SCP Foundation is Lobotomy Corporation, which is basically an SCP management sim. You send employees to harvest energy from an ever increasing amount of anomalies, each having unique traits you have to account for when handling them. Some are almost completely harmless, and you can freely send any low level employee to handle them, while others can be extremely complex. Some require specific employee stats, certain outcomes after working on them. One might require you to constantly work on them, or not look at them while they're being worked on. There are even negative synergies, where two anomalies being in the same place is a really bad thing. Depending on the anomaly, failing to keep up with their needs can have a variety of outcomes. Some might simply escape and try to murder everyone, while some might passively debuff employees or the facility. Some might just simply summon a swarm of parasitic bees or cause everyone to start going insane. To say it gets stressful would be an understatement, and that's before talking about actually managing your employees, and the ordeals, and qliphoth meltdowns and all the other things that make things difficult as the game progresses. It's pretty fun and difficult and hellish but fun

One of my favorite aspects about SCP is how you can often tell when an author is writing about something they’re professionally involved with.

[@TheRandomMan001]

To put it simply, SCP is the embodiment of the lyric, “Anything and everything, all of the time!” It’s a universe where literately anything can happen and anything can exist. It’s a world with out limits, A world of chaos, a world of weirdness, a world of laughs, and a world of cruelty and death.

So many of the authors forgot the 'fear of the unknown' bit, or just spent a lot of time dick measuring against the creations of other authors that it became a bit of a mess. A lot of other stuff betrays the amateur nature of the thing (and I say this with love that people are wiriting at all) in that they really need to work on pacing, on tone, on subtlety. You've got this very earnest streak in the space that is at once endearing and also, from a slightly more experienced vantage, a little bit frustrating.

Yeah my favorite description of the SCP wiki is "Quite possibly the greatest collaborative writing effort since the bible" Like it's so weird that it's effectively a fandom that is powered entirely by fan creations. There is no original media that things are based on, outside of maybe the SCP 173 entry of course, but even then that just sort of provided the initial template, and I think most fans would hardly label it as their favorite SCP. (Mine is 5031 if anyone is curious, tho I'm also a huge fan of all the Murphy Law related entries) So as you say it's almost like its own sort of memetic cognitohazard, where fans create material that draws in more fans, who become writers to create new entries that other fans create new material based on in an infinite feedback loop of creation that has only accelerated as time has gone on. It took a long time to finish the first couple thousand entries, and now it feels like they're getting over a thousand a year at this point.

The scp fandom is constantly evolving. Which is why it's so intresting. There is always something new and endless amounts of content

[@Jiub_SN]

The issue being that it's gone thru something similar to the backrooms, the more popular it becomes the more the quality drops. There are a lot of SCPs and stories that are genuinely just bad now. When it first started it was niche enough that every addition was a banger, it's why the majority of the well known/popular ones fare from the lower number anomaly's

[@caringheart34]

​@@Jiub_SN Actually, its the exact opposite of the Backrooms' situation. While the Backrooms became less creepier due to the fact that it regressed to the writing style of literal children (a Discord friend of mine who wants to be a Backrooms author is literally 12 years old) and the fact that they follow the same "monster = scary" and "random place = liminal space" tropes, the SCP Foundation fell "bad", as you say in your view, due to the fact that they are starting to experiment. Here's the thing: The authors who curated the Series 1 SCPs are gone now. They either left due to career choices, personal reasons or the RPC split of 2018. The issue with the SCP Foundation that most people find today frustrating is of the people essentially doing a "Reddit Botspeak" of the stuff, which further turns away people from the repetitive comment. That and the reasons for the RPC split, where they have gotten so woke that now articles should abide by the rules of wokeness. And basically because all of the early, 4-chan based authors who primarily worked on Series 1, left and was replaced by Reddit and Tumblr enthusiasts who probably studied on liberal arts and literarure, and was influenced by the 2010s Culture Wars. This meant that the wiki, while not being explicitly told on KZbin, has been subliminally planted on the later articles. It's not inherently malicious, but it's ironic that the deep-shadowy organization, who contained anomalies at any cost whatsoever, and abided by no ideology, is taken by an ideology that has the same amount of authoritarial essence as the fictious organization, meaning it was doomed to be taken by the woke ideology. It's presence after being taken has considerably reduced since the split, but now Series SCPS like the ones on Serious 4-8 has become more meta, more postmodern, more experimental andbranching out. That's probably why people call it the "decline" of SCP. It's because they thought that staying to the amateurish, diary-level amount of writing would be kept forever, but people would be bored seeing the typical "murder monster" and trope-heavy and uncreative concepts. Pataphysics, Concept tag SCPs, Narrativistics, Memetics/Antimemetics (which developed from SCP-055), Surrealistics and Unreality, Deletions, ADMONITION in SCP-120 are a response to that.

[@JarlRagnaar]

I'd say a significant factor of it's success beyond the thematic appeal is the fact that it is entirely 'open source' and not the intellectual property of any single entity, be it an artist, author or large corporation. This means anyone can creatively engage with the franchise in any way they want. Be it in writing their own SCPs or storys, create artworks and movies or just add to the wider narrative in any number of creative ways. While I'd love to see a big budget game or movie on the SCP Foundation, we have to be VERY cautious to keep the cancer of commercialization and monetarization from creeping into the franchise. The day someone gains ultimate control over the franchise and something resembling official canon is established will also be the day on which the soul of it will die, leaving only a dead shell to be scavenged by corporate greed

[@galvendorondo]

I have always been an SCP fan, watching you cover this seems like a dream.

[@MissMisnomer_]

I think one of the greatest things about the SCP is that the user can curate the amount they want to engage with it. ie: there are plenty of one shot, short stories that are 500 words or less that have a wide range of genres to choose from. And then there are the longer entries that cross reference between the different SCPs. And then longer ones that make use of the actual lore of the organization and universe, which could easily be turned into their own tv series. Your experience can be surface level or a head first plunge into the dense insanity. It can be exactly what you need it to be. And I think that's just so incredibly cool.

[@TheBumbleseed]

SCP 1609 actually has a tragic context to it. The foundation initially classified it as fairly harmless, until a rival company, one that only seeks to destroy anomalies broke into its facility and put it through the woodchipper. SCP 1609 now targets anyone wearing that organisation's insignia. The foundation now contains it by using its mulch for a garden, and having staff come in to compliment the soil quality. It's a story on why they *contain* anomalies, not destroy them.

[@John_Weiss]

Some of the best SCPs are the ones that explain _why_ the Foundation does what it does. Like SCP-231, which started as an example of what the Foundation does when it is forced to do horrible things because there is no alternative, and what it does to protect its staff from becoming monstrous or callous themselves. It then spawned the Scarlet King mythos. And it also triggered the, "Foundation is Eeevil and Amoral," direction that the entries have taken in the past years.

This video is great because it highlights types of media or creators that have worked within it, gives options of starting points. I'm a visual person, I love documentary or found footage formats, I love art. Now I have somewhere to start looking and other things to poke at. I am tickled. :3

[@somelaser5906]

I couldn't recommend getting into SCP's more! I recommend starting at one of the many SPC's he mentioned in this video. It's size is daunting but you don't need to start anywhere in particular, the way the articles are numbered has nothing to do with the overall ever-growing 'story', the best thing about it is you can literally pick any SCP to start from and it wont matter. The more articles you read the more the overall situation and story presents it's self, that's part of the charm.

However, if you look around closely, you can find a board that has the entire lyrics written on it, and a survey with questions about how the song made you feel, do you remember the lyrics, have you felt any contact with other objects of power during the playtime of the song

It's worth mentioning that the SCP site IS it's own SCP. The site has many different branches in a lot of different languages, each and every one with it's own unique SCPs that are categorized with the same numbers followed by a couple of letters that identify them as part of said branch (For example. ES for the spanish branch, FR for the french, RU for the Russian, etc.) SCP-101-FR "Y@u aɹe hëre" is an anomalous site that acts as a replica of the foundation database that can't be contained and instead was turned into a fandom in order to keep them as a secret organization.

[@laurelsilberman5705]

Wow, what an insightful analysis of the genre of storytelling! I loved how you really took time to analyze the “fear and absurdity” humorous undercurrent that ties many entries together and really gives the SCP genre the credence it needs (although the purely scary entries have their own charm). But the touching on universal experiences in childhood aspect was great as well as the focus on inundation and desensitization. Such an interesting video. I really loved this one.

[@scioregis6381]

For me the most fascinating thing of the Foundation is how connected it is, at the start all entries look like insulated cases and most of them are but from time to time you found parts of a puzzle and eventually you start to see the bigger picture. Recurrent groups of interest connected to the Foundation, parts of a mechanical god dispersed around the world, ancient anomalous civilizations changing the history, the anomalous nature of the O5 Council and the Foundation itself, the answers about the beginning of time and the dark shadow of the Scarlet King in every corner, waiting for the moment to bring chaos upon reality. That’s the really anomalous property of the foundation, taking individual creations made by different people and somehow creating a story that is way bigger than the individual posts combined.

[@mint1114]

Sometimes I come back to reread something like three times because I keep reading other stuff and being like "OMG this adds so MUCH to X! I have to read it again" and X just keeps getting better

[@aeaeeaoiauea]

This is literally me when I used to watch SCP content. I got bored of it at some point. If the connection between SCPs are the reason why you like them, then the same might happen to you if you like the connections to be consistent. As you'd expect from a purely community-driven project like SCP, there is no established canon, so plenty of entries contradict each other. Some canons might put X as a part of Y and another might say that it isn't and that it comes from Z instead. Trying to connect all the entries in order to create a coherent canon is basically impossible, especially without alternate universes and even then there might be some other entry that still contradicts another entry because it also affects other universes.

[@mint1114]

@@aeaeeaoiauea What? yes there is no ONE true canon, that's how scp flourished while competitors stayed stilted dare I say. It's on purpose. But there are many complete and "coherent" canons within it. If you like having one solid canon, go read through the canons hub. I particularly like Resurrection and all of its off shoots like New Faces, Old Foes and His Will Be Done as well as the No Return canon (though this one requires some advanced lore like pataphysics). There's also Site-17 Deepwell catalogue, Site-120, On Guard 43 and S&C Plastics. All of these contain one more solid interpretation of the world with solid lore, like the history of Sloth's Pit in S&C Plastics or the lore of the Fae in Site-120 as well as the Impasse in No Return. And that means of course that there are plenty connections. Idk maybe I misunderstood what you were saying, sorry

[@aeaeeaoiauea]

@@mint1114 There are other reasons why I got bored of it, a lot of the entries seemed quite repetitive, so I guess I just haven't looked hard enough for more solid canons in the wiki, but at this point I thought that just this wasn't for me and I've already moved on to other stuff. Of course, this is just my opinion, and plenty of other people might disagree with me and never get bored of them, and that's fine, people can like different things. oh and btw i edited my previous comment, i was a bit sleepy when i first wrote it and was unable to convey my thoughts correctly

[@johnkingsize]

@@aeaeeaoiauea The absence of canon is actually one of the rules of the project. At the begining, there was a very consistent canon. More specifically, there was one author who had created all sorts of very popular skips that were all part of a consistent and convoluted network of entires, with more authors linking their own contributions to the already existing ones, leading to a canonically consistent whole. This all came down crashing absurdly hard when that particular author badly parted ways with the project and took an attorney to ask for the entire removal of his work from the website. His works were so numerous that merely looking for them and removing them took a lot of effort, but it also broke many other entries that were refering to these now gone entries. This was a catastrophe. The absence of consistent canon is there precisely so that any content can be added or removed without having much impact on the rest of the project. With the review processes in place, you can bet that without that rule, all the new vaidated entries would be fairly consistent with the existing ones.

[@Lonelyweirdo96]

I look at the SCP and backrooms stories to be a kind of “plug and play” version of traditional horror, allowing any old Joe Schmo to come along and make up a monster to put in these fictional worlds. It sound nice, an infinite amount of creatures to enjoy, but most of them are uninspired fanfic trash, or come off like they’re trying entirely too hard to create something scary. And some of them make stuff that isn’t scary at all. Not everyone has a mind for making horror, just because someone is afraid of stuff doesn’t mean they know anything about the creation of monsters. The few good original ones inspire wave after wave of “look at my OC” type creatures to add to this weird little fictitious catalog.
