THIS HAS ME SHOOK! | SCP-049 - Plague Doctor TheVolgun reaction

[@USOtaku013666]

So this version is actually an updated version of the article. The Original was far simpler and honestly, very basic. The original author was like 16 when he wrote the first version and he did sign off on the rewrite in large part because he doesn’t remember what he intended the “pestilence” to actually be and the rewrite is just generally of better quality.

[@USOtaku013666]

38:53 The very idea of SCP as a collective writing project means that there is no set canon. Everything is up to the interpretation of the reader and writers.

[@USOtaku013666]

18:22 I would put forward SCP-082 “Fernand the Cannibal” as the most polite dangerous SCP. He’s clearly insane and has a habit of flying off the handle and eating people but when he’s not doing that he’s strangely pleasant.

[@christoffheidmann6841]

5:17 - The Foundations claims to be cold, but not cruel. The implication is, that they do what is necessary to uphold their mandate.

[@Lord-Regent-of-the-Imperium]

I think it's more accurate to say he is lawful good, and he is just operating under a higher level of understanding. Then, we currently operate under. So, to us, he is evil, but if you had his understanding, you would see just how good he is

[@wittywasnteverwitty7370]

or he’s just delusional

[@stuckincollege1778]

He's more Chaotic Good, he wants and will try to help you, but if you get in his way or if he thinks it's required, you are dead. Lawful Good would mean he will always follow the foundation, but he only follows them since they give him test subjects and because he finds it fun. The moment you piss him off, you are very likely to be "cured"

[@Lord-Regent-of-the-Imperium]

@@stuckincollege1778 what part of "operating under a higher understanding" did you not pick up? We would classify fey creatures as chaotic because we are not fey. They operate under a different level of understanding then we do. I wouldn't say it's higher per se, more like a sidegrade, but different nonetheless. They do in fact follow laws, its just we don't understand those laws yet. Another example. Normally you'd look at someone such as Rick Sanchez as evil. But he's not, he simply understands more then us. His sense of reality and understanding of reality is beyond ours. I recommend you look up a comic miniseries written by Warren Ellis called Supergod. There is a creature in that known as Dajaal that perceives the passage and flow of time itself, able to see where the timelines branch and disperse in real time. He claims that normal humans would perceive it as insane, which is ludicrous to apply our sensibilities and understanding to it because it is beyond human, its consciousness and intelligence not being human but superhuman. Superman sees things far differently then that of the normal man, he can perceive radio signals and things invisible to the naked human eye. Thats why I believe the foundation hasn't been able to understand 042's sense of urgency and fear. Because they are thinking like humans, not like him. They don't see what it sees, they apply their level of understanding to it instead of trying to meet it at its level. To 042 explaining what the pestilence is to a foundation scientist is like trying to explain the common cold to a neural surgeon. To 042 the pestilence is common knowledge that everyone knows, asking about it is like looking at the dipshit with a runny nose and a bad cough asking why he is sick.

[@Lumberjack_king]

I completely agree it’s like trying to explain color to a blind person they simply can’t comprehend it

[@davidgates9342]

I think personally, Lawful Neutral is the best fit Lawful, he has his own code, morals, and rules, which he sticks very vehemently towards, however his actions are neither particularly evil or good. He does evil things of of, in his view, necessity or greater good.

[@FraudEvaderOfTaxes]

I think also what attracts ppl to scp 49 is the fact that he seems so genuine in the way he talks and does things. As evil as they may seem he doesn't show any sort of sick desire or sadism in doing it. It's a nice change of pace for other scp's that are just straight evil or very animalistic. Similar vibe is scp-082 the cannibal tho the cannibal doesn't have the same altruistic goal he's just very well versed until he randomly eats you.

[@Necrosis-00]

Yeah he just wants to cure the pestilence and is trying to do it in the way he seems to believe could possibly work given the right process

[@blakelycan2535]

1:07 girl fr said 2017. not comprehending that SCP has been a thing for like 20 years now

[@garrettpridemore5758]

26:41 the reason why the SCP foundation contains SCPs is because if you try to destroy something you can’t take it back if you aren’t able to. It’s better to contain some thing, then try to kill something and have it gain a power boost because of what you did. The chaos insurgency motto is pretty much destroyed all anomalies that has been quite a few times where they tried to destroy something only for it to get stronger. Watch the video from thevolgun about SCP 1609, it will show you why you don’t just destroy.

[@michaeladames4932]

For a simple SCP, I like the key that unlocks everything. Simple, straight to the point, neat ability.

[@joedepersiis9150]

My favorite part of 049 is that the now canonical voice for it is done by The Volgun. I love the Volgun's channel.

[@shrui4219]

The thing is, you said it yourself: a lot of SCPS aren't just evil for the sake of evil. The plague doctor, in my opinion, has good motives. And that's based on a theory I made which includes SCP-2718 and SCP-5000, specifically The Entity. But that's just headcanon, anyway.

[@ChaoticNuetral420]

2:06 That's not INaccurate. A lot of modern SCPs do try to one-up others in how dangerous they are. The older ones were more about mystery and having unique characteristics. There are definitely modern SCPs that do stray from what the modern SCPs try to do. A great example is SCP-8000. I wont spoil anything, but ill say that 8000 is the definition of "write what you know" as it's more about personal struggles faced by the entry's writer Plague shown through really well written dialogue. I HIGHLY recommend reading it.

[@zcubeDbz]

Majari sounding like a GOC operative right now

[@nightmareman9960]

Man still one of my favorite scps is scp 008-j “Geoff” It’s a probationary scp because they don’t know if it actually has powers or if it’s just a bunch of weird coincidences. Scp 008-j is just an unassuming guy named Geoff that casually gets lost and finds himself in scp facilities. No one knows if he has some kind of powers to end up there or if he just knows the code but the dude just randomly shows up asking for directions casually as hell frustrating the even living fuck out of an scp commander because they can’t lock the guy up because he gets out the same way he gets in Plus it gave us this golden transcript Commander Price: Alright people, it’s go time! I want suppressing fire on this thing NOW! Neptune squadron, hit it with everything you’ve got! If this thing gets one claw to the surface, then… SCP-008-J: Hey, I remember you! Commander Price: (Exasperated and enraged) FUCK! SCP-008-J: Can you help me out? I’m a bit turned around. I’m trying to get to Grays Street. Commander Price: WE’RE 3,000 METERS UNDER THE FUCKING OCEAN! SCP-008-J: (Produces smartphone) Well that explains why my map won’t load. Commander Price: WHO THE FLAMING CHRIST ARE YOU!? SCP-008-J: Geoff, remember? Hey, are you on Facebook? I feel like I keep running into you! We should be friends!

[@RedstoneRailroadRR]

Personally what Ive seen a lot of SCPs go down the route of being more scientifically explained, almost lil extreme, to validate them. I mean the Living Tattoo is one example. They focus so much on how it functions, that leaves a lot of the mystery out of it. Or how they try to use other SCPs or tools to explain their existence like a multiverse. What makes SCP so cool IS the unknown. We know vaguely how it operates (not fully) and thats about it. The origins are what we ponder about. Plus the extremes the foundation goes to keep things under wraps helps emphasis the mystery.

[@AmatMN]

if anyone wants to know why the foundation doesn't destroy scp's unless absolutely necessary, scp-1609 is a good example.

[@SCP-Dr_Bright]

the scp foundation considers itself "cold not cruel" so no they aren't "good" but our main objective IS to protect "normalcy." our moto is "we die in the dark so you may live in the light."

[@christoffheidmann6841]

3:48 - Able to "cure" patients, transforming them into mindless, undead versions of themselves.

[@lamaman5080]

There is actually a story of him Succeeding, it's quite interesting actually

[@christoffheidmann6841]

00:00 - "Call a Bond-ulance..."

[@yohohocow1291]

Yo Scp containment breach came out in 2012. Feel old yet?
