These guys seem cool. Interesting how they transform into a type of bird they previously found repulsive, it makes me imagine a lot of them are "ugly" types of birds like vultures or turkeys, or perhaps birds that are often considered pests/nuisances like pigeons or seagulls. There might also be good number who became birds infamous for their aggression towards humans, like geese, roosters, or Australian magpies, etc.; I'm imagining a wandsman who grew up on a farm and was terrified of the family rooster, only to end up turning into one as a direct result of their trauma.

[@Xanatosvr2]

It's even worse tho. Your looking at this from a person from our earth and our dimensions point of view. These are birds aliens from other dimensions found repulsive....like who knows what kinda messed up looking melted skin, 4 leg, , teeth for eyes looking birds they have where they come from.

Finally! I've been fond of the Wandsmen ever since I found out about them.

I'll be honest, it sounds like a pretty sweet gig. Going about the multiverse as a magical reporter, bringing knowledge, helping people, and even sometimes saving lives? That's straight out of a much brighter setting than the SCP foundation. And while the bird shape may be less than ideal, it doesn't seem like there's anything keeping you from coming to like your new body, and it certainly comes with enough benefits...

[@ianharrison5758]

I wanna make a SCP that will occasionally pop up and just solve whatever problem the foundation is having, no matter the scale or what the threat is. I’m not super knowledgeable on SCP cannon, but since my SCP is literally just the concept of someone dropping out of know where, solves the problem then leaves with no explanation, only answering the occasional question with some cryptic answer that only confuses everyone more. It’s not like it’s a savior of humanity in its darkest hour, usually it will just show up and slap the wrist of whatever foundation member is about to make an ethical decision so dumb it creates a really obvious problem. I just find the idea of chaotic neutral SCPs that kinda just do shit and no one knows why

The role of the canary is a nice touch. Back in the day Cole miners used to keep one in its cage with them down in the mines. If there was a buildup of carbon monoxide or something, it would kill the canary before it was overwhelming enough to kill the miners, telling them it was time to get out. In short, highly useful but ultimately expendable.

This is a really interesting GoI. Not just because of the intruiging aesthetic of a bunch of superhuman, anthro birds with maps zapping across the universes in search of finding and spreading knowledge, but also because their news reporter's flair makes for an interesting opportunity to experience the SCP multiverse from a much different perspective than the iconically formulaic database entries.

Probably just any bird you had a disliking of, whether it be because you find it ugly, scary, or just unlikeable

[@grilledleeks6514]

It's clearly talking about the avian form As a whole as being repulsive. Because they aren't human anymore. Seems pretty silly to assume every being in existence had a bird breed they find icky.

My man, your writing is ridiculous! I always love listening to these

I want to be a Wandsman so badly. It sounds so fun

[@aft3rst0ry7]

Hey Exploring Series, I've been enjoying all the readings from you so far, I'm here with a request, SCP-6765 "The Demon Ogier and the Bleeding Throne of Malidraug" which is the latest work for the Kaktusverse, I'm wondering if you can cover it as well? Since the entire Kaktusverse is so huge and complex, I wish you can explain it more in lay men's term like you always do, thank you!

I wish movies and video games were as interesting and goosebump inducing as these videos.

I have absolutely no idea what/how this guy tells these stories and I've been listening for a while... wild

[@ErenJeagerBomb]

Haven't seen the video yet. Wonderfully done, regardless

[@heliveruscalion9124]

now, when you say you become a repulsive bird, does that mean, say, if you found shoebills particularly ugly in your human life, you would become a shoebill as a wandsman?

[@undeadprinceofchaos3731]

That might be what they were implying. You change to resemble a bird that you personally find ugly and/or repulsive, which would make it understandable why a number of Wandsmen have tried to find a way to change back.

[@thedukeofchutney468]

Who knows. Personally I have orinthophobia (fear of birds) so I have no idea what species I’d get. Hopefully something cool like a eagle, but just my luck it would be a pigeon.

[@brandonsnyder9950]

@@thedukeofchutney468 Hopefully you wouldn't turn into a monstrous amalgamation of all bird species. That'd be pretty messed up.

[@thedukeofchutney468]

@@brandonsnyder9950 True. Then again I'd probably become the single most powerful Wandsman of all time.

[@eksprolek2924]

@@thedukeofchutney468 you would became shapeshfiter because you find them all repulsive. Or more likely its rolling the dice. Or even more likely you would become oppsite of what you would want to become. So pigeon i guess

Wait was one of these in Alagada?

Sooo transmutated magical bird monster journalists? Absolutely amazing premise

[@beardpapa12]

Thanks!

[@hauntaholic0]

the fact they turn into a bird they found repulsive means there likely very many of them that are turkey vultures

[@NavnikBHSilver]

I love this, truly, gimme a map already!

[@Cpint]

Huge fan, thanks for all the content! This is probably my favorite group of interest, and I hope to see more thaumaturgy focused videos in the future!

[@FUNKY_BUTTLOVIN]

Yeah this is shaping up to be interesting

[@curtailedbike4123]

I actually thought of something, the scp foundation has documents that describe anomalies that destroyed earth or cause major damages but the scp foundation has no knowledge of these events. What if the wandsmen are the ones who bring these documents to other universe’s foundation so they could avoid the same mistake.

The single greatest explanation for weekly worldnews I've ever heard.

Thank you for covering one of my favourite gois.
