Yeah, you still have time before you come to terms with the inevitable fate of death. Hopefully, us all can appreciate our existence to the fullest before departing this world.
From all these SCP articles, it's clear that none of the foundation persons want to. The desires of not existing anymore have, in many articles, shown to have horrible consequences. One thing I see repeated in most articles is that many of the persons writing these seem to not want to die. -or something. That they do not accept death as a natural process. I have yet to see someone in a foundation article to accept the inevitability of death. There's a lot of ascending death and stuff like that in the SCP universe. Which is probably why a lot of southeastern type articles are rare, though this is just a possible idea. Southeastern ideas often have to do with acceptance of death and such. I wonder if anyone who writes these articles understand nihilism or absurdism. The foundation just doesn't want to die.
@@PulsYT well not really tho. because what we are will remain if the laws of physics hold water with the whole matter cannot be destroyed, only changed and such.
Trapped Foundation Scientist: “Oh man why do I bother with these logs and reports no one is ever gunna read them?” Future foundation Scientist reading the article: lol
Hell yeah! Just woke up and got a coffee! I'm ready for this. Post Watch: Damn! That was sad. Fair play to Elizabeth though, very much a "If I'm dying, I am taking you with me" moment.
That bit about her childhood got me good. My grandma had Alzheimer's, and the worst part of the entire ordeal was one time I went to visit her, and she thought I was my cousin. She was convinced, because she was certain she didn't have a grandson. That ripped me up inside, and it was hard to think of her the same way, because how are you supposed to feel about a person who literally forgot you exist? It almost makes the whole story seem like an allegory for dementia: you lose your memory, it's nobody's fault (including your own), it's usually unavoidable, and by the time it's done there's nothing left. True horror.
My grandma always thought I was her husband. Which was kinda weird. I felt so bad for her. Idk it's so sad for me to see but oddly enough it doesn't scare me to think of it happening to me as much as it does other people. My grandma was always so happy when she had it and didn't seem to have much of a care in the world. Though I'm sure it depends on the person whether that is the case. If that's how it happened to me thought I could see it as almost peaceful. Just kinda drifting off into the void of my mind.
@@wittykittywoes Nah, it's just a moment in history. Dealing with someone who is losing their mental faculties, you can either refuse to accept that it's happening and be lost in a grieving process, or you move on real fast. When I was no longer recognized by my grandma, I started to let go, so I was prepared for everything that came after. It's like talking to ghosts at that point.
My Grandma does this since she turned 70. Since then i'm Tom. She just flatout forgot my real name, no matter how often i politely tell her, she cant hold it. Well humans get old...
As someone caring for someone with severe dementia this hit in a really strange manner, seeing someone forget themselves is indescribable especially the feelings it invokes, almost too ironic that the only people that don´t care for that person "leaving their body" , while those close to them have to carry on the burden, are the people with severe dementia themselves, since they can´t remember being themselves in the first place.
I... don't want to like the comment, cause that feels like I'm "liking dementia" but yea, that hit home for me to... looking at family members and realizing that they don't even recognize you is the worst feeling in the world.
I always assumed that the area she was in wasn't really real. She just went insane. All the "people she saw walking around" were her fellow researchers and the "mimic" was also a fabrication. The reason the foundation was able to get the logs was because she wrote them all inside a foundation facility.
BattleLars 2019 the “bank” Is likely actually a foundation cell, and she was put there for stabbing someone but convinced herself that she went there by her own volition.

Theory - The SCP is “The Mimic”, Elizabeth’s mind is the cell, and her journey/struggle/logs are the containment procedures. The Mimic might be a mind parasite that possesses no form of its own and is dependent of what the human mind can imagine or perceive It to be the manifest shape, but by doing that, it also alters the mind of the host. It absorbs but also reflects, as it takes shape it cannot avoid that the host’s mind react to it. Elizabeth is a Foundation professional either in a induced coma or a hypnotic state, and precisely because this, it cannot provide the Mimic with any other sources but what she already have - I also assume that the Mimic cannot leave the host mind when they are unconscious, or the foundation might have a reality anchor to prevent it from leaving Elizabeth’s mind. This way, it have a limited supply. Hence the “folding within itself” description, since Elizabeth can’t make new memories or have new interactions to serve as material for imagination, it’s only a matter of time until all she perceive her thoughts and memories as something the Mimic might be, well, transformed as. This is fuel for loosing notion of real and imagined, what might be what’s causing her memory to fade. What I think it’s happening here is - The Foundation have a person in induced coma, for god knows how long, while they watches this person’s mind decaying until “there won’t be no light for the Mimic to reflect”, putting it poetically. Elizabeth’s fate was an Astronaut Meme: “Is everything ‘The Mimic’?” / “It always was” And this is fucking horrifying, but it’s a cold calculated act that the Foundation would be willing to enact if it resulted into an effective containment (or even neutralization) of a dangerous mind parasite. And we know that they have done worse. Tl;dr - Mimic is a cognitohazard parasite that needs the imagination of the host to take shape. If the host perceives the mimic as what it is - therefore imagining it as “The Mimic” - It have no other exit but to reveal itself. A mind that is deprived from new memories and inspiration have a limited supply for the Mimic, but it muddle the water of what are genuine memories and what aren’t, which turns the anomalous effect on itself, but at the cost of said mind. In short, the Foundation is doing with Elizabeth what happened in the finale of “Gravity Falls”, but at a way lengthier pace.
I leave this message for my self. Surprised to see this specific SCP in this timing, As I lose my old memories slowly day by day and practically almost fail to retain new memories efficiently. Every morning is the same hell, reawakening into the same loop that degrades. as I wait for the official diagnosis to come. Something in the brain they assume. Twenty years old, my old self erased with barely understood remainings. This scp video makes me feel something weird. It might be part of the illusion
If you're actually going through something like that... I am terribly sorry, I wish I could do something to help you or at least ease you in some way. Though i have no personal experience with what you're going through my aunt is currently going through something similar and I feel for you. Reguardless, i hope you know that you are loved and will never be forgotten.
My theory is that this isn’t actually anomaly but Alzheimer with the experience with anomalies messing it further Like the mimics are like how people suffering it think their friend and family are when the symptoms got worse Also with her memory of someone suffering Alzheimer might reinforce that her family already got problems with Alzheimer This however is just theory
I felt the horror of total isolation, losing oneself, and a mimic that can become anything. Oddly, it felt nostalgic, but not in a good way. It felt like something from my nightmares that I'd long forgotten.
I get it My grandmother has dementia, highly disruptive to routine life, we cannot leave her be, she still thinks she can handle moving around, she can't, and we can't trust her to report on important things when left alone, recently, in addition to anterograde amnesiac traits (forgetting recent events), she's forgetting details from the period just before I was born (her mid-50s, if the math checks out), add to that, she's not that pleasant of a person too, main examples: wants companionship, but won't proactively seek it out, and just can't find contentment in a situation resulting things like: not panicking and questioning what she's doing when her caregiver takes her out by reqeust, immediately calling her son (my dad) to fix her TV antenna rather than ring up a caregiver in her nursing home. End of the day, to preserve my own sanity, I'm left with a cold copium: _"my Oma is already dead"_
There were always terrifying scps even at the start of the foundation. The original scps were mostly terrifying in fact and often involved sacrificing D class personnel like lab rats since the knowledge they gain was more important than the lives of the human guinea pigs. Sort of like being okay will killing a few lab rats to cure cancer but instead with your own species and something supernaturally worse than cancer
The monster in here it's probably a physical representation of Alzheimer's much like how a revenant demon is the physical representation of the Black Plague/death.
I highly recommend the movie “Relic.” It presents dementia as a entity and is a horror movie, but also is a brilliant metaphor for Dementia and what it does to families.
I don't mean this as an insult but your voice is so soothing I have got into a routine of just putting your vids on auto play every night and watching them until I fall asleep
the entire SCP reminds me a lot of a real mental condition... Dementia. A "monster" that can take any shape, and removes all the memories of a person, usually starting with the oldest, non impactful memories (like forgetting your favorite childhood TV show, but remembering seeing your grandmother for the last time) and as it progresses you lose more and more, eventually your name, how to talk, and even how to breath properly in some cases. I personally believe that she didn't kill the beast in the end, she only forgot that it existed, or that she was ever more than just the beast. I think that's why in the end she writes in the third person about killing it, because she didn't kill it, the "mimic" became her, and everything she could ever think of. Even down to the suicide part, there are a lot of Alzheimer's patients who commit suicide because forgetting your name on a daily basis is a incredibly depressing thing. OR it's just a fictional story about a fictional person in a fictional dimension, made just for the fun of it... Anyway, I'll stop lecturing about dementia now, great article, great narration, can't wait for more!
I have great affection for these psychological tales/articles. The feeling of slipping away and forgetting yourself is common to dementia, but it's also common to heavy psychedelic trips that involve ego death. The difference between one and the other is, one you come back from, the other you don't. It sounds like the music of The Caretaker would be appropriate listening while reading this article.
0:38 My eyes actually widened. Desolate lands, lone survivor deal, this is my bread, butter, AND my jam! YES!!!! I'M STRAPPIN' IN BOYOS!!! Show us the strength of humanity against adversity! WOO!!! 14:30 Now THAT was a tasty story~. 15:12 Yes. THOROUGHLY enjoyed this~!
Addendum: Level-3 Researcher [Elizabeth Graham] was found withered and half-dead in the 2nd floor supply room. Her memories were non-existent and presumed to be gone for good. Multiple documents were written and placed all over the walls despite her only being in the supply room for 3 minutes. We do not understand what happened in there but it was never seen before or after this incident.
The mimic has never been killed because of its final defense. It mimics the sand while letting them stab the ball and then eats the memory of them seeing it do that. After they've left, that Sandman scene from spider man 3 happens but it's not sad, this thing was never human.
"Oh…You… My thoughts…are very…scattered… What is this curse? The question rings in my mind, but I haven't the focus to answer it. Loss frightens me no end. Loss of memory, loss of self. If I were told that by killing you, I would be freed of this curse… Then I would draw my sword without hesitation. I don't want to die, I want to exist. I would sacrifice anything, anything at all for this. It shames me, but it is the truth. Sometimes, I feel obsessed… with this insignificant thing called "self". But even so, I am compelled to preserve it. Am I wrong to feel so? Surely you'd do the same, in my shoes? … Maybe we're all cursed… From the moment we're born… My name is Lucatiel. I beg of you, remember my name. For I may not myself… "
Sitting down at the bonfire and her just being gone. That really hit me. Shes out there somewhere, who she is is a mystery, certainly no longer herself.
For the past year and a half I've watched my grandmother, who I've always been very very close with, slip away into dementia. I listened to this video a long time ago, and it while it certainly struck a cord with me then, it hits a lot harder now. I've watched the sweet old lady I know and love slip away into a shell of a person, who has no recollection of where she is, what year it is (she repeatedly states that she thinks its 1968), who we, her family, are, and honestly I'd be surprised if she even knew what planet shes on. It's the most heartbreaking thing I've ever had to witness in my life. This scp definitely hits that heartbreak, but not in a bad way. It speaks to it in a unexpectedly profound and deep way. And honestly, it makes me cry.
Theory: this "SCP" is actually just the delusions of a perfectly normal researcher who got Alzheimer's, and there's nothing anomalous about it. She's just remembering all the cautionary tales of extra-dimensional locations, the various real and anomalous civilizations she's studied, and all the walking, memory drained humans are just people in her life she's forgotten about. The kid could be somebody important, or just some random kid, and the "monster" it's just how her, an SCP researcher, delusions her situation.
How does someone comment this video 2 days before becoming public? Are they the foundation reviewing the video before it can be confirmed to be posted?
I bet the mimic was actually the journal and she was feeding it her memories as she wrote while it messed with her head. I dont think she ever killed it
My Mom is a caregiver. Usually elderly & hospice. Not my gift, but I see her clients now & again. The only real mercy is that THEY don't remember/know how lost they are. Dementia is harder on the family than the person with it.
Wait the mimic wrote The mimic disguised me as doctor Elizabeth Graham. Do you think that the mimic is the real person running away and “Elizabeth” isn’t even a real person?
I noticed that the order of the words you would click on to go to the next article were in this order: Come With Me Here Darling And Disappear. That might mean something. Or just be a coincidence
Ah yes, Foundation researchers: she murders and dissects someone _before_ she goes crazy.

My grandmother has dementia, highly disruptive to routine life, we cannot leave her be, she still thinks she can handle moving around, she can't, and we can't trust her to report on important things when left alone, recently, in addition to anterograde amnesiac traits (forgetting recent events), she's forgetting details from the period just before I was born (her mid-50s, if the math checks out), add to that, she's not that pleasant of a person too, main examples: wants companionship, but won't proactively seek it out, and just can't find contentment in a situation resulting things like: not panicking and questioning what she's doing when her caregiver takes her out by reqeust, immediately calling her son (my dad) to fix her TV antenna rather than ring up a caregiver in her nursing home.
End of the day, to preserve my own sanity, I'm left with a cold copium: _"my Oma is already dead"_
Forgetting simple things as I get older already scare the heck out of me. I can't imagine having memories stolen from me
I love your videos man, they’ve gotten me through some tough times. Keep up the great work!
An alternate dimension with elements of I Am Legend, Planet of the Apes, and Control?
*Must be a Tuesday at the SCP Foundation.*
What did it have in common with I am legend and planet of the apes exactly? Dunno the last one but it's not at all similar to the first 2 movies...
Huh. It almost sounds like the creature renders the humans' memories themselves antimemetic somehow.
Remember when SCPs were things like coffee machines that could spit out any liquid or just a dude that would kill you if you saw him
There were always terrifying scps even at the start of the foundation. The original scps were mostly terrifying in fact and often involved sacrificing D class personnel like lab rats since the knowledge they gain was more important than the lives of the human guinea pigs. Sort of like being okay will killing a few lab rats to cure cancer but instead with your own species and something supernaturally worse than cancer
NEVER stop making these videos.
Spent the morning listening to you whilst at the gym, not gonna bother waiting for next time to listen to more!
Man you need so much more subs for this series alone.. your the only one who does scp videos with so much depth.. keep it up..
This was definitely inspired by The Caretaker's music.
Man, TES is a real masterpiece. What would I ever do without you?
The monster in here it's probably a physical representation of Alzheimer's much like how a revenant demon is the physical representation of the Black Plague/death.
This is sadly relatable. Being alone is no joke.
I highly recommend the movie “Relic.” It presents dementia as a entity and is a horror movie, but also is a brilliant metaphor for Dementia and what it does to families.
I don't mean this as an insult but your voice is so soothing I have got into a routine of just putting your vids on auto play every night and watching them until I fall asleep
This has to be my favorite youtube show there is!
This channel needs at the very least 2 million subs, I hope for your growth dude.
Just in time for bed! I love listening to these as I pass out! 👌🏻
I find these types of tales, where a person fades away, to be the most chilling. I guess it's the primal fear of oblivion.
the entire SCP reminds me a lot of a real mental condition... Dementia. A "monster" that can take any shape, and removes all the memories of a person, usually starting with the oldest, non impactful memories (like forgetting your favorite childhood TV show, but remembering seeing your grandmother for the last time) and as it progresses you lose more and more, eventually your name, how to talk, and even how to breath properly in some cases.
I personally believe that she didn't kill the beast in the end, she only forgot that it existed, or that she was ever more than just the beast. I think that's why in the end she writes in the third person about killing it, because she didn't kill it, the "mimic" became her, and everything she could ever think of. Even down to the suicide part, there are a lot of Alzheimer's patients who commit suicide because forgetting your name on a daily basis is a incredibly depressing thing.
OR it's just a fictional story about a fictional person in a fictional dimension, made just for the fun of it...
Anyway, I'll stop lecturing about dementia now, great article, great narration, can't wait for more!
I have great affection for these psychological tales/articles. The feeling of slipping away and forgetting yourself is common to dementia, but it's also common to heavy psychedelic trips that involve ego death. The difference between one and the other is, one you come back from, the other you don't.
It sounds like the music of The Caretaker would be appropriate listening while reading this article.
Thanks for these uploads man : )
These are the best ones. More strange locations please.
Ayeee new content to keep me up way past my bed time
0:38 My eyes actually widened.
Desolate lands, lone survivor deal, this is my bread, butter, AND my jam! YES!!!! I'M STRAPPIN' IN BOYOS!!!
Show us the strength of humanity against adversity! WOO!!!
14:30 Now THAT was a tasty story~.
15:12 Yes.
THOROUGHLY enjoyed this~!
Addendum: Level-3 Researcher [Elizabeth Graham] was found withered and half-dead in the 2nd floor supply room. Her memories were non-existent and presumed to be gone for good. Multiple documents were written and placed all over the walls despite her only being in the supply room for 3 minutes. We do not understand what happened in there but it was never seen before or after this incident.
The mimic has never been killed because of its final defense. It mimics the sand while letting them stab the ball and then eats the memory of them seeing it do that. After they've left, that Sandman scene from spider man 3 happens but it's not sad, this thing was never human.
"Oh…You…
My thoughts…are very…scattered…
What is this curse?
The question rings in my mind, but I haven't the focus to answer it.
Loss frightens me no end. Loss of memory, loss of self.
If I were told that by killing you, I would be freed of this curse…
Then I would draw my sword without hesitation.
I don't want to die, I want to exist.
I would sacrifice anything, anything at all for this.
It shames me, but it is the truth.
Sometimes, I feel obsessed… with this insignificant thing called "self".
But even so, I am compelled to preserve it.
Am I wrong to feel so? Surely you'd do the same, in my shoes?
…
Maybe we're all cursed…
From the moment we're born…
My name is Lucatiel.
I beg of you, remember my name.
For I may not myself…
"
Sitting down at the bonfire and her just being gone. That really hit me. Shes out there somewhere, who she is is a mystery, certainly no longer herself.
When schools tomorrow but The Exploring Series posts another video:
"I don't need sleep, I need answers"
These are my favorite kinds of S.C.P's
An anomaly that is basically alzheimers and makes you wander for eternity, a fate worse than death.
For the past year and a half I've watched my grandmother, who I've always been very very close with, slip away into dementia. I listened to this video a long time ago, and it while it certainly struck a cord with me then, it hits a lot harder now. I've watched the sweet old lady I know and love slip away into a shell of a person, who has no recollection of where she is, what year it is (she repeatedly states that she thinks its 1968), who we, her family, are, and honestly I'd be surprised if she even knew what planet shes on. It's the most heartbreaking thing I've ever had to witness in my life. This scp definitely hits that heartbreak, but not in a bad way. It speaks to it in a unexpectedly profound and deep way. And honestly, it makes me cry.
What I want to know is how the Foundation got a hold of these documents.
Yet another magnificent piece! Keep them coming ;)
Theory: this "SCP" is actually just the delusions of a perfectly normal researcher who got Alzheimer's, and there's nothing anomalous about it.
She's just remembering all the cautionary tales of extra-dimensional locations, the various real and anomalous civilizations she's studied, and all the walking, memory drained humans are just people in her life she's forgotten about. The kid could be somebody important, or just some random kid, and the "monster" it's just how her, an SCP researcher, delusions her situation.
How does someone comment this video 2 days before becoming public? Are they the foundation reviewing the video before it can be confirmed to be posted?
Any chance you’d do a Herman fuller video?
Your SCP videos are the highlight of my week.
I believe 3890 does not exist. The notes are simply a product of losing sanity by one of SCP researchers facing Alzheimer's. Terrible, sad fate :/
Time to read this article while listening to everywhere at the end of time
I love these in the wee hours of the morning
Uploading at the witching hour makes these even more spooky
I bet the mimic was actually the journal and she was feeding it her memories as she wrote while it messed with her head. I dont think she ever killed it
That's a genius twist.
That is a big possibility
Sure is good watching this in 3 pm
My Mom is a caregiver. Usually elderly & hospice. Not my gift, but I see her clients now & again. The only real mercy is that THEY don't remember/know how lost they are. Dementia is harder on the family than the person with it.
Finally my favorite SCP
Jesus christ i felt this in my bones.
Wait the mimic wrote The mimic disguised me as doctor Elizabeth Graham. Do you think that the mimic is the real person running away and “Elizabeth” isn’t even a real person?
I love the timing, just in time for bed
Imma watch this as soon as I get off work.
Thank the broken God! I love your voice!
I noticed that the order of the words you would click on to go to the next article were in this order: Come With Me Here Darling And Disappear. That might mean something. Or just be a coincidence
That DOES sound very intriguing
The SCP continues to get more interesting
Good story and video as always.. ..also props to "Ad Troll" who put the ad in the video ^^
Is it just me or is this really similar to red reality
Well they do both revolve around an SCP researcher who ended up in a mysterious/alien dimension and slowly goes insane
🚨🚨🚨
Its less terrifying though
@DEEPFOXJUDE I would rather die fighting than go insane in an abyss where I can't die
@DEEPFOXJUDE I think I typed wrong. 3980 is preferable to red reality.
I love these SCP reading's keep up the epic work respect dude 😃👍🏻⭐️❤️.
It's one of them Mimics from Prey. Thanks for sharing.
Another amazing story told by one of the best story tellers of our time!
*Oooh~ this is giving me that sane feel that reading scp-3999 (I am at the centre of everything that happens to me) gave!*
Forget-me-not is also the name of a flower, and probably my favourite one at that
i crave for more hour long videos
