The Stars Do Not Wait For You (SCP Foundation Tale)

[@crispycrunch9971]

This guy, this... THING was able to overpower Cain and Able, to overcome the sheer will of "God" and the DEER. He drained the life from the Scarlet King. He went on to shatter The Sculpture, obliterate the Reptile, anglicize the Shy Guy, emaciate the Old Man, dissolve the creature from the Stairwell, showed immunity to the Plague Doctor, caused the death of the Radiant Sun, and withstood the masochistic effects of the Compulsion Tweezers. Even Lucky couldn't make it out alive. But how will It fare against Stanley from Accounting?

The sentance ''The wardens unleashed upon the world their prisoners'' Gave me chills

[@auail5594]

It seems like you are pretty new to literature.

[@Speed001]

Yeah, I forgot what this was called. I was listening to SCP 3812, A Voice Behind Me, and that line came to me. But I couldn't remember where I heard it from. It took me DAYS (5 Days, looking at my first comment on the other video) looking through Keter videos, K-Class end of the world videos, and I tried Googling that line and what else I could remember. It was all for naught. Then, today I realized that I had heard a video about an attack on the Foundation by some guy that sets himself on fire on the facility housing a star that must be kept in place between three points. Then I remembered that the Hateful star had a story. Me thinking: *Sees "SCP Foundation Tales"* That must be it! Then I finally found this. Like OMG it was so hard finding this video. So yeah, I made a playlist this way I never lose this video again. Here's what I typed on the other video. (Not that you care): So I was listening to this video and I can't stop thinking of this one other SCP/story. The problem is that I can't remember the name of this one SCP/story. It's this SCP story where there is a minor reality bender that becomes extremely powerful and kills everything and The Foundation releases all its SCP's on. The Foundation detonated the on-site nuke and threw everything they had at it. It just kept walking, turning the ground beneath it to sand. When the Foundation ran out of weapons they turned to their allies. When they ran out of friends they turned to their enemies. And in one final act of betrayal, the warden released its prisoners upon the world. Then, while it is walking the SCP talks about how it is stuck in this thing that has no malice, no will, no anything. It's better described as a non-thing than a thing, like a void of a creature devoid of anything. While walking it gets hit by lightning by SCP 343, it fights Able and Kaine (two brothers with very different demeanors), and The Deer. Also, all SCP's die/get destroyed by it, even the Hard to Kill Lizard.

[@tripleb5197]

My personal favorite line is just "Loneliest of Stars." That and, of course, "The stars did not wait for you, brother."

[@justinweber4977]

Somehow, the remark "The Foundation turned to their enemies" had the same effect on me, particularly the statement about Clockwork Titans.

[@joesantos7085]

One of the lines that all ways hits me for some reason is"as the sands cover the last of the trees that will ever grow in this land".

[@ZrinNZ]

I imagine this is the kind of scenario the 05 is thinks about and discuss with each other. "What do we do when it all goes wrong?" "How do you mean?" "What happens when the ones that are willingly contained...decide they don't want to be anymore?"

[@ziimulhah3223]

That last sentence is so utterly chilling.

[@robdeskrd]

This is a great example of what the 05's worry about, why the Foundation exists and what it tries to prevent: XK-Class end of the world scenario, no post apocalypse story- no survivors- just the end.

[@defeatSpace]

Considering they pulled funding for the red pool almost immediately and it took sabotage to get anything done about that, I don't think they care about more than the present.

How the nerf gun works is based on how the user thinks the object or entity can become worse not useless An example is if you used it on Scp 173, he’ll basically start going around killing people even if you’re staring at him because someone who shot him thought the scp could be worse by losing one of its weakness

There is an entity that opposed it that was probably some last resort or something, but that was not enough to end the end, it didn’t matter, no resistance would work, no battle against it would be won, it was entropy, it was death, it was the end, it was less than nothing yet above everything, an impossible entity that was unable to be stopped.

[@DavidEvans_dle]

For decades. Alone or in groups, with ferocity or with a blank stare, the Foundation's prisoners threw themselves at the Absence. I could not hope to imagine the reasons behind the actions of every individual anomaly, but if I could guess, I would say that the idea of sharing existence with a… thing like the Absence galled them to the point of madness.

[@ThatElephantSeal]

This.... This is now my favorite SCP tale. Every word captured me. Ill give the original author credit, fantastically terrifying. It captures what Iv'e always thought the SCP universe was postulating. A world where Nihilism is incarnated into a place without meaning, where there simply doesant have to be a reason for an end. Beautiful.

[@StarboyXL9]

As much as the use of the term "beautiful" to describe an incarnate void that ends all meaningful existence without reason or hope disgusts me, I cannot actually disagree with you.

[@boiledprawn99]

This is such a poetically beautiful tale. I listen to it at least once a month, if not twice. Your deliverance of the story just adds to the serene darkness that it is, and at the time I am writing this, I'm sad that this tale only has 156,634 views. I cannot get enough of this video.

Scp 1915 changes the world around him without realizing it based on what he thinks his life is. He is a worker in his 30's doing an every day job with no other meaning to life. It shows the helplessness and emptyness of your normal worker in today's society. This beautifuly illustrates the sprial of emptyness. This vicious cycle of nihilism, and how hard it is to pull yourself out of that cycle. 1915 got pushed to this point though his wasted life, his realization that he was nothing and that his actions would one day mean nothing anyways broke him. Though since hes also a reality bender, these internalized thoughts and feelings of emptyness manifested into the world and ate everything in its wake. The absence comes for us all. At least that's my interpretation. Either way fucking beautiful.

[@Furzkampfbomber]

That makes a lot more sense to me than _'1915 determined that because the universe came from nothing without a reason, it has to go back to nothing without a reason someday.'_ and other pseudo-philosophical BS. In the end, he is still very human at his very core and he is just enacting petty revenge on a universe that he thinks does not care about him.

Reading 1915's file shows him to be a very insecure person with a very small world. It's no wonder that his influence even with great power would be incredibly limited. He didn't pull this off, either the power itself grew bored of waiting on him to properly use it, and pushed him aside within his own mind, or possibly he had some sort of aneurysm or seizure that left him vegetative and unable to express his own will and be in control of the power.

If reality were created, warped, obliviated on a passive, dismissive and casual series of whims, this is the thing that whims, only with the constrained perspective of the mind of a man becoming increasingly dissociated from reality.

[@vistammitkharakakos1992]

Hm... Reality warping brought to the side of Chaos by the pure detachment and dissociation of a menial office worker. In our prolonged misery and isolation we distance ourselves until we are so far gone that we fail to notice the world crumble into beneath us. Nothing penetrates our single minded discontent.

4:30 an absence? The Nothing from Never Ending Story?

[@babalon7778]

Oh my, that was downright poetic, beautifully written and narrated. It hit me right in the soul.

"But most of all, i saw a simple need, to be."

[@Martial-Mat]

Well that was excruciatingly depressing and nihilistic.

[@piewo9014]

Wow, that was awesome. I lacked a few references (and thanks for some comments for having filled some), but i'm sure i'll love to hear it again once i'll have read more. So thanks. The worst part being that it ends.

[@impurity8002]

Too op please nurf

[@ihavenothingforyou1946]

Love the reading and delivery of this. I struggle to appreciate this SCP as anything more than something akin to a well written fan fiction. It's good, but it seems to try to elevate itself by correlating itself to and/or diminishing that which came before it.

[@claymerpepwheeler7940]

This SCP can defeat The Stag and 343?!! Shits too op

[@The-Yellow-Man]

Bravo man. I just got into SCP and this was one of my first introductions. Voice work was fantastic. I got chills at moments. You did an amazing job whetting my appetite.

[@nicolaszapata9060]

I feel like this could be an interpretation of what would happen if 3812’s malevolent personality had won over the good one

[@spata6981]

One of the best I've seen so far, keep up the great work, Volgun!

[@hansstrudel9614]

So what about all of the reality bending Thaumiels and the Scarlet King and 682? 682 has been, by all attempts, unkillable, even having the power to seemingly either bend reality slightly itself, or resist reality bending. (Like when it was written into the book to die at the end of the story but then the end changed when 682 entered the story. Can't remember the SCP number)

[@hansstrudel9614]

Yeah I actually just saw that one a couple days ago but that was a VERY specific circumstance that would basically be mutually assured destruction. I don't actually think they classify 682 as "living" since it doesn't sleep, it derives energy from just about anything, and can heal from points where it should be medically "dead". You ever wonder where he came from and what the hell he was doing before he came into foundation custody?

[@robertgeiger488]

Having every entity and group fling themselves into the grinder, especially after the various GoIs get wiped out is really stretching it. I suspect they would go 'Lol, no' and take off

[@keithcrews4267]

Scp 682 needs matter in order to regenerate and sense the being destroyed matter it couldn't heal.

[@BiohazardSr]

1935's shtick is that it erases all. It is the opposite of a reality bender, the sole purpose of destroying what they create. 682 is powerful, but even it cannot escape the coming of nothing

[@nathanoconnor421]

The stars do not wait for SCP- 682, but they wait for the absence, for everything, for everyone are waiting for when the time that they are gone.

Thought my volume was just too low at the beginning. Was scared half to death when he actually started talking
