No worries, the proper weapons are needed to be used with swag power and happiness and strong will and the kids would be liberated from their grasp, altough they might need energetical therapy because they are hanged in that place to be drained of energy while their souls are temporarely entrapped. All that is needed are some sparks of will!

[@BierBart12]

Absolutely agree. I kinda hoped they'd send in another D-Class to record what happens if they're thrown into the mirror in classic SCP fashion before an MTF even had a chance to be approved, though (It'd also be fun to imagine a full assault force being sent into it, fighting off the entities for days. But that's not really the SCP style. At least not for this fairly low of a threat)

And the Doctor finds yet another good one buried in attempted god-level threats, a real horror coming in an innocuous package. Absolutely showing that even if it's labeled Safe, it's still potentially the worst thing ever.

[@gearsoverdusk7303]

The out of left field god level super Keter reality warping crazy pants threats really do get old. Sometimes I get the impression that people invent new classifications and super threats just to one up other writers. Remember when a Black Big Rig Semi-tractor trailer that just wanted to haul butt across the highway and would occasionally accidentally run people off the road, only to repay them with some amount of money that would easily recoup the damages was considered a 'keter' class SCP? Pepridge Farms remembers...

[@Essrayle]

@@gearsoverdusk7303 Yes, such blatant power creep. And then you have something that's rather smartly woven, "Mr. Histur" very likely being direct reference to Old One Hastur, working very much in their whole shtick of "If you just ignored it, you'd have been fine" type of self-dooming actions; yes the object itself is totally not coming after you, but curiosity will lead to it destroying you. That's the SCP optimized vibe, imo.

[@Nico-zt5jl]

​@@gearsoverdusk7303 But it isn't doing anything that would suggest god level super threat. It's just collecting children. For reasons that are unknown in ways that are unusual. It is merely existing in its own contained world, repeating it. I like how both SCP can have chill SCP like one of my favorites, the guy that just appears to offer those dying alone a cigar and keeps them company, than there is also this, which is uncomfortable in way that isn't clear. Simply don't attack it and keep others away and it isn't a threat. Not really a super god level threat.

[@gearsoverdusk7303]

@@Nico-zt5jl I wasn't saying that this particular SCP was a god level threat, sorry if that wasn't clear. I was more responding to Essrayle's comment about how well woven 5853 was as a creepy anomaly that preyed upon the concept of old children's shows. It's much better written than other SCP's that are boring power creep 'someone made this super powerful scp so I gotta have one that's better' or how some scp's are just unimaginative god level threats that no one could stop, much less contain. Those were the ones I was referring to.

It is rare to see such a depiction of H.P Lovecraft's work: The King In Yellow ! Quite amazing

[@hyacinthdathenes9405]

I don't want to be pedantic but "the king in yellow" was actually an inspiration of Lovecraft. It was a short story and anthology of short stories by Robert W. Chambers. Later authors who built on Lovecraft used a character from the dream cycle who was a 'king' of sorts in a yellow robe and joined the two as Hastur.

[@MeepChangeling]

[@trocytev8783]

@@amberkat8147 VKTM isn't really a big bad, but I do agree it'd be out of character for them to be behind this SCP. From what I understand, they think they're doing the right thing with their SCPs, but Hister is delusional even by their standards. Not to mention, the last time they contracted an eldritch humanoid for something, there wasn't a body count.

[@Freekymoho]

My main takeaway is how ABYSSMALLY that MTF was briefed. As long as you know how it works it presents no direct danger, but they didnt even know how to exfil until after they'd cocked it up. Done right you should be able to "easily" send people in to coach any other victims on how to escape

[@TrueLadyEvilChan]

What did you want them to do? There are over 30 potential phrases. Granted, you COULD spend lives to be figuring out the lessons and then identify which phrases line up with which houses; though do you really think Mr. Hister or the other denizens will let that happen? It was an off-the-books, hasty MTF anyway. What you're suggesting kind of goes against Monroe's wishes of not wanting others to keep going inside.

[@Freekymoho]

@@TrueLadyEvilChan you dont have to spend any lives, the phrases are always the same and tied to the episodes where he appears. Send one guy in with a list of episode numbers and their corrosponding phrases. The numbers are even helpfully painted on the houses

[@TrueLadyEvilChan]

@@Freekymoho I feel like you missed what I actually wrote. Granted, okay, you don't need to spend lives, but You really think the entities would let you go around telling people what the phrase is? That's my main point

Genuinely got a super creepy vibe off this, probably because we all grew up watching things similar to this kind of thing... whether it be Barney, or Fraggle Rock, or the Muppets, or *something* and just twisting it into something... off putting. Dr Bob, you're genuinely my favorite SCP video creator out there for bringing to life the obscure SCP's that get buried under the latest reality bending super god threat that someone pulled out of their butt to one up the other reality bending super god threats on the Wiki. It's the Stories, not just the details of the SCP themselves, but the stories attached and the colorful way the details are framed that are just amazing!

[@leonardomartino8431]

The fact that there's another "Bobble entity" within another SCP related tv show implies essentially 2 things: Either SCP 993 was a product of Mr.Hister gone rogue or the latter was inspired by SCP 993 to make his own anomalous show

If you ever feel ignored just remember the SCP foundation has a "ethics committee" 😅

If you ever feel safe in the knoalge you're an upstanding person, remember that ethics are subjective, not objective. That they are decided on by cultures, and are always evolving over time. They are not written in stone. They are not laws of physics. They're just a list of things we're okay with doing, and they update accordingly.

[@miya705]

Yeees I love these kinds of episodes! I've been waiting so long for a new vid actually discussing an SCP we haven't seen before, and this was even better than I anticipated. Honestly, Dr. Bob's videos are so engaging that none of them feel nearly as long as they actually are. You could tell me this was only 5 minutes and I'd believe you because unlike a lot of channels, it doesn't lag in interest or drag on unnecessarily. It's the best combination of informative speaking and storytelling and I'm so grateful for this channel. Thank you Dr. Bob! Keep up the great work!

[@thaqiftalip2771]

The fact that Mr. Hister is basically Hastur is just troubling.

[@rionthemagnificent2971]

Hisstur is Hastur. Easy way to defeat him, is to get his half-brother involved. Cthulhu. They can't stand each other and are openly hostile. Ofc How to get Cthulhu into Hastur's realm and the ramifications of walking up squidhead outweighs the benefits.

[@sebastiancoar1991]
