'resolved by guardian spirits engaging the rainbow serpent in battle' My proposal from the part 1 video still stands. Guardian Spirit Steve Irwin will contain this environmentally-friendly ultra danger noodle.
You know, I'd like to imagine that, while this shitshow is going on, all the Proto-Sarkite Villages that Lack the tech to be on the Hitlist are just chilling and are somewhat confused why their plants are growing better all of a sudden.
@@michaelandreipalon359 they probably should not be too affected. The Serpent goes after Environment damaging stuff, metalwork, gears and cyberspace should be unaffected. At worst they now have to deal with changing their tech and more Sarkite shenanigans
not the Neo Sarkites tho, they are probably all up the ass of the natter. but yeah the Protos are probably chilling, and I imagine the Library is watching it with glee, while welcoming all the new 1000s into their system. I imagine the serpent brought back on Elves as well.
not sure they would be safe either, since the serpent goes after those that damage the natural world and i cant think of anything more damaging to the natural order of earth than a group of people who change everything to human flesh or amalgams of human flesh.
Exploring only makes great videos about great stories and be proud of your work. We need more of these in the world. Never stop and never think you're not good enough
Love hearing that the D-class helped after the attack on Site-19, it usually has D-class be heartless monsters or lab rats but this one just shows them as human. Its refreshing.
@@zt2cans82 by memory it's ridiculously over the top, hamfisted in its environmentalist message, character assassinates the Foundation a little by portraying them as incompetent, and just isn't that engaging an idea for a piece of such length. It's not the worst skip by a long ways, but I felt it was below average, and in five months I haven't really had the desire to watch it a second time.
@@quicksilvertongue3248 in my mind it's a Kaiju story, which are almost always an allegory for something involving the way humans treat the world, I really liked it personally, plus I love scps that involve bringing back extinct creatures :)
So cool to see this SCP make it to your channel. I remember reading about this when it was just an idea to be critiqued in the forums way back. Props to the author. Having a video done by you is the highest honor an SCP can get
I think your definition of “captured” is a bit strong when you consider that 343 basically came in on his own whim and can literally leave at any time without the foundation being able to do anything about it. And the other deific entities they have locked up all have specific rituals and techniques that they are vulnerable to that can easily be exploited.
In any other story the Foundation would have utilized those guardian deities that were brought up but I guess after beating it with a laser didn't work they just submitted and forgot about it Weird that you would introduce something that is said to have stopped the monsters rampaging in the past and then just never use it, especially after admitting that the Foundation was looking into it. It could have been a last ditch effort, summon the deities, battle ensues, deities win but the Foundation learns that it would be better for everyone if they met the Serpents demands anyway just so no one has to deal with it anymore and it can be thoroughly contained with the Deities being on something like a speed dial if necessary
It could be argued that the guardian spirits did infact influence the snake to stop destroying humanity, as it would be incredibly odd for an almighty nature god to simply halt it's annihilation of human development(or being "satisfied")...if not for the fact that someone or something had convinced it to stop. Perhaps the guardian spirits offered up a compromise, one in which the snake would only unleash it's wrath on the most polluted & intrusive sections of human settlements, leaving the less developed sections alone, and then quietly observe mankind to see that they can learn to live in a more peaceful coexistence with nature. I can't speak for the author but I can at least offer that headcanon on it.
It would have been funny if they did manage to contact a guardian entity but it took one look at the situation and said "sorry bro, you kind of deserve this beating".
What an underwhelming end. This is basically just an epic wholesome solarpunk fanfic. So much more that couldve been explored here, bit oh well - guess we're just subservient to some giant snake without even really being mad about losing the foundation of our civilization and thus the infrastructure necessary for the Foundation to continue its work - just another Tuesday innit
Wholesome? It gleefully killed billions of humans, muted them into various animals that now eat each other, and sent humanity back several hundred years at the very least (I'd have said multiple millennia if it wasn't for SCP-tech that can likely mitigate some of that damage). This blasted eco-terrorist kaiju managed to jump to the top of my most hated entities in SCP literature, even past that yeti abomination that tortures children during the winter holidays.
@@DarkVeghetta I think this one doesn't really work because in the current age of SCP the Foundation is thought of as kind of invincible, so them losing to a big snake that shoots lighting seems ridiculous when you take into account they contain literal gods.
@@simulterious9767 Ikr. However, each SCP article is technically it's own cannon, so the author can alter whatever aspects they want... but that still doesn't make it palatable, just permissible.
@@DarkVeghetta Yeah, it is permissible, but I would strongly argue it's out of touch in the sense that a lot of people don't think that. Many people view the cactusverse as THE canon, for example. This one goes out of its way to ignore popular and long standing SCPs in favor of it's heavy handed message. Really just a combination of bad factors.
Feel like for how repetitive the story already is, this would've just been another listing of events that wouldn't have added much other than length...
Nah. Get me SCP 399, SCP 2700, and SCP 2501 and I’ll give this thing a fight. Use 2501 to hold it in place and use 399’s ability to alter atomic forces to rip it a new one while using the mechanism at the center of 2700 to power 399. I’m not saying I’d succeed but I’s give it one hell of a fight.
Oh, so we can call down friendly fire on a GOC site, because the ends justify the means. But as soon as the satellite lands on the SCP base, all of a sudden we can't risk triggering it, even though the threat entity is hip deep that bases' guts.
It started as the typical environmentalist revenge fantasy and I was expecting some clever plot twist which never came. At least the author admitted that nuclear power is clean and green during the typical "bad humans" finger wagging.
It’s not even just environmentalist. It feels anti-human at this point. Though I guess that describes the average western environmentalist pretty well…
@@thedarkapex5327 Yes. Vile fiction with a very real present-day political agenda. I would presume you've seen eco-terrorist cooks on the news (in the UK/USA) or on YT, gluing themselves to priceless pieces of art and holding up traffic to the point that people have died in ambulances. This sort of sentiment is held by real people, in the here and now - people that hate themselves and every other human on earth. If it would be entirely theoretical I'd still find the sentiment loathsome, but I'd probably be quiet about it. Sadly, this is part of the modern western socio-political discourse, hence it needs to be called out and not ignored when it rears it's ugly head.
@@thedarkapex5327 Godzilla was a somewhat obvious allegory for nuclear war, created 9 years after Japan actually got nuked - twice. Given the low amount of information on nuclear effects at the time, the movie made a lot more sense back then and was one of the many steps Japan had to take to deal with it's collective trauma. Furthermore, Godzilla was an ANTAGONIST initially. Humans overcame him, symbolically overcoming the looming threat of nuclear annihilation. This, on the other hand, is hot human-hating garbage.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did just nothing happen to Europe? In both parts there were attacks around the pacific area, I seem to recall an attack on southern Africa in Part 1 and in this second part the Americas were under attack, but nothing happened to Europe as far as I know. Did they actually get attacked and did I just forget or did they somehow escape the snake?
Nah, every part of the world is attacked. But there's nothing worth of note that happened in Europe that hadn't already happened elsewhere in the world, so the foundation probably just cut them from the list of attacked place
I would have liked an ending where the scp foundation and the serpent reach a state of cold war with us threatening to use multiple mongoose weapons to eliminate all life on earth, stating that humans will take everything with us if the serpent targets us again. Seems less foundationy to become subservient like that
This was, honestly a fascinating listen, instead of total annihilation on either sides part, ended with just one side being mostly annihilated, effectively being told that 'You fucked around, I'm here to make you find out', really interesting change of pace.
I think that was the efforts of the foundation and GoC. China and India ignored them, but maybe they got the rest to listen. Probably was easier once everyone saw what happened to those two countries.
There was hardly any effort by the foundation to ignore. The two nations were facing imminent utter annihilation and all the foundations can do sums to “chill bro just wait it out”
What’s the point of recovering wild life if billions of innocent lives are killed? What a deeply immoral and evil creature. Humans don’t get a kick out of polluting the environment. Neither do most have a say in the matter in the first place. A anomalously smart demigod noodle should know better.
Great narration as usual, TES, but I gotta say, this wasn't a good pick. *Rant inbound* Heavy handed just begins to describe this article. The background and the start are pretty solid and interesting, as we have no shortage of deities antagonizing Humanity. So much so that it comes out as just another climate change preech. Oh no, here comes the eco-terrorist Rayquaza, what can we do but atone for the sins of progress? As if the Foundation hasn't dealt with equally serious a.d bigger threats. Sure, canon is loose at best, but come on, there wasn't any other options of containment? Also, they jumped really quick from that to neutralization. And the thing is, I'm not even opposed to the background laid in there. I legit thought the article would explore Australian myths, with the whole ancient serpent stuff, but as soon as the polution targeting stopped, I cut that idea right away. Can't help but feel like this was a bit of a waste, even nore having those guardian spirits that just got mentioned as a "bonus". This one is clearly well made and has a good amount of effort put into it, but it just touches on the main topics of every single crazy environmentalist I've seen, short of voluntary genocide (although, if you squint...) Again, not entirely opposed to the scp, but the "go green or else" message superseeds the anomalous side of it. Also, pretty cinematographic, so another thing detracting, at least to me. I swear, everyone wants to make the next Apotheosis or Ourobouros Cycle...
It’s funny how you mention “crazy” environmentalists, as if the slow destruction of our planet by major corporations and politicians isn’t crazy. The Serpent isn’t meant to reflect the morality or goals of environmentalists; it’s to allude to our planet’s fate if things don’t change.
I think a good way to think about this article is that the Foundation's goals are, thought the ends and means may get mixed up, to further the survival of humanity. So while the Foundation doesn't really see the environment as a huge issue (they probably could fix it if they broke the veil) so much as humanity, thus, this scp forces the foundation to steward nature as we should have for our betterment.
Here I go again with another controversial comment! I’m pretty “meh” about this SCP. Maybe it’s because I don’t like Mary Sue characters (Rainbow Serpent in this case), or maybe it’s because as a mild environmentalist myself, I feel that this and many other SCPs that take on complex topics like this just kinda don’t think past the surface level. I never downvote TES stuff because he’s just the narrator, but I don’t think this is an SCP worth two videos that could’ve been filled with other ones. Again this is my opinion and you’re free to disagree with me!
I Agree, this is just another big powerful SCP, that can only work ignoring all the other all powrfull SCP, and at this point is a pretty boring topic. Also, this environment SCP take a stand that I really don't like, making "mother nature" a good being, when in reality this is not true, simplifying all the complexity of environmental problems like good vs evil.
I mostly agree with this. I do think the escalation of the conflict was interesting despite it being an invincible kaiju, but the themes were a bit much. I doubt it was intended, but it came off as "human bad, nature good". As fun of a spectacle fight against a giant invincible monster in story form can get though.
@@jandresshade Plus the snake selectively destroying of the east vs west; and literally lecturing China on how it should not defend itself from imminent utter annihilation like every military in the world wouldn’t just throw every weapon they have in the thing at once. Just to put that icing on the Marry Sue cake.
I kinda wonder how the rainbow serpent would react to the Gaia scp. I think in the universe where the foundation turned an agent into the Gaia scp the rainbow serpent wouldn't wake up simply cause the scp foundation would already be doing what it wants
I feel like they could've used SCP-4051 to stop it. Dude can delete anything by just summoning the opposite of it, he doesn't even need to know what his target is to do that (ridiculously overpowered, and he wants to be a hero).
The greening of Australia and the world at large, also the destruction of most of humanity, made this scp sounds like the perfect beginning of the bellerverse canon. And coincidentally, made the rainbow serpent creator of world like in its original myth
But they're gonna need a totem of worship So...what's the origin of the Serpent? Nature itself? If so then destroying the Serpent may have unreversible negative effect on nature
@@plinfan6541 isn't there a cave somewhere housing a universe with that kinda end scenario? Well, then again, there's still the corpses I guess, just no metabolism.
Man, what a boring story. More environmentalist bullshit, kinda tiring. Literal dragon jumps out of the ground screaming “I SPEAK FOR DA TREEEEEES” At the very least they gave nuclear energy some credit, because efficiency is the only way to progress humanity and the environment. Bonus points for aboriginal mythology.
This feels like the backstory to something. Like you could imagine a Group of Interest finding a way to build cities inside of the serpent's dreams so it goes on a berserk universal rampage or crafting anomalous gardening tools from its scales that make plants grow back quicker (but with extinct bugs appearing as well) or something. Hell, maybe it could be an important ally against The Broken God at some point in some universe.
Serpent: USE GREEN ENERGY REEEEEE >Causes multiple nuclear power plants to melt down Serpent: NOOO NOT LIKE THAT >SCP appeasement protocol uses nuclear energy Serpent: jk lol
Ah, so one more canon...curious if we'll see more bits in this one, especially when things that are NOT human start screwing with the environment. Just because they didn't use iron and fire doesn't mean that the Children of the Night were any less disruptive to natural cycles, and that's not even getting into the various murder monsters that can grow out of control if allowed to do so. As others have said, it's an interesting little ditty, and fits the theme of Nature that was part of the 6000 contest well, with a load of good info into how it affected humanity, but less so in how it affected the anomalous stuff. This is one of those worlds made I would be interested in seeing more interaction with, either through someone just writing more, or even them coming into contact with one of the primary canons through any one of the multi-universal constructs like the Recursive Room or the Infinite Ikea or such.
I thought this was a very heavy handed handed fanfic driven by the message, that just happens to play in the scp verse. 1 dimensional human bad, nature good conclusion as well.
@@Brien831 To be fair, it's a message that fits the theme of 'Nature' as I said. The issue in the SCP verse is that we are not the only sapient lifeforms on the planet. How would this thing react to the Deva for instance? I mentioned the Children of the Night, and they are briefly touched on in the article, but the Deva neither are quite healthy for a living world. One would use living energy as a weapon, as seen through many of their fleshy remnants that the idiots...sorry the various Sarkic cults worship. Those are 'living' but they are destructive beyond reason. Meanwhile the Fae and the Bigfoot created horrendous things that use living things as the basis. And then you have individual entities. It's presence disrupts electronics and tech, and seems to be harmed by it as well. What happened with SCP 5001 during all of this? Or the One Who Knows Silence in the Earth? Heck, the Deer God too, or even the Gate Guardian? Why were they just chilling when this thing came through? This is one of those things When Day Break deals with by literally saying the presence of this entity 'overrides' the hume levels of the others, essentially asserting its OWN reality over theirs, and destroying them in the process. That honestly should have been this one's MO too, at least in my opinion. The problem is, most of these sub-canons like this are BIG, like universe changing big, but this one is such an...Earth problem, that it feels lacking in that respect. What happens now? This thing isn't invulnerable, the Foundation HURT it, badly with the Mongoose weapon, and the only reason they didn't just build is Site 19's destruction disrupted them, and the GOC's weapons facility being hit probably soured relations in that area. But as things return to peace...why would they not do this again? Bigger and better? What about when something terrible comes up and kills it? Hell, since it's not immune to certain things, I'm sure there are a dozen things the Hand could do to it, and they have no love of 'Nature' in this respect, and it was probably just as disruptive to them. Even the Manna Foundation and Wilson's Wildlife Solutions seemed rattled, so I suspect this canon dies with the serpent.
Yay, part 2! This one has been really interesting. Every time there's an upload I get super excited. They're perfect to listen to on my commute to work.
Was kind of hoping that the foundation would actually kill the snake, this SCP kinda reminds me of the other nature reclaims the earth SCP that was covered on this channel awhile back, at least some people survived this one I guess
To be fair, this one was part of the SCP-6000 contest...which had the theme of _nature._ Still think 6001 (Avalon) was the best one out of that contest, but oh well.
My personal record is 5 replays of a TES video before I got the ending, without falling asleep. The soothing production is in stark contrast to the exciting content, imho.
Thanks you for all your work. I've been watching for years now and even beyond the scp stuff just bloody brilliant work 👏 🙌 . If you ever become a writer I will buy your books or literature how ever you do. Straight up this stories have got me through some dark times man. Instead of drugs bro. Yeah just real big help man like take your mind off the want for it. I'm over 700 days sober and I've listened to your channel everyday.
I love this story, but two things I don't like are how the Foundation still wants to nesting all of humanity, and that it's done this thing before. The story would just have more impact and stakes if this version of the Foundation couldn't just press the SCP-2000 button or something and reset everything. Also, it's just dumb that the Foundation still wants to amnestize everyone, even though the story has such a theme of renewal and humanity learning from our mistakes.
To be fair I think this “new world” would set the scene or one great tales, that could easily show that while in the beginning things were all green and rainbows, over time human greed and other vices took back control causing more problems than in the first place Especially given the fact that the mongoose weapon tech still exists and is the literal opposite of the serpent
Nuclear waste is a problem. Not as big a problem as a gazillion tons of pollution being pumped into our water and atmosphere, but enough to piss off snakebro.
@@Brien831 then why is the author encouraging the use of nuclear power as a way of producing clean energy? Oh right, because you didn't actually watch the vid.
@@thaliacrafts407 that’s why the first one is confused The serpent attacks nuclear power plants at a certain point while also saying that they were safe from the serpent wrath
I also would like to thank you. I'm on vacation in another state but at least I have TES to keep me occupied. ... Your readings and opinions, the summarizations and such of the stories, made you my favorite over other SCP channels. Please keep it up, and everyone else please do your part by doing the RUclips things...
Honestly we need another writing that renders this SCP both null and void by revealing the true power the Foundation and the other anomalous groups that could crush this snake. I see too much heavy handed political/environmental wet dream. I think even the Leviathan could technically destroy that serpent?
@@VultureSkins Yes they become environmental disasters when something goes wrong... Like a giant snake blowing it up... But wouldn't it know that? Although thinking about it maybe it knew enough that without the cobalt, zinc, aluminium, copper, lithium, silver, gold, or lead mines everything would fall apart including solar and wind power... It's kind of confusing...
Videos were good in terms of coverage and storytelling, but I don’t like this SCP in particular because of how it reaches a conclusion of “HUMANS MUST NEVER DO ANYTHING TO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT EVER!” It spits in the face of environmental stewardship, AKA good practices that humans undertake in order to preserve the environment around them. Numerous places that have been made into national parks only got as gorgeous as they were at the time of being made so because indigenous peoples took the time to perform maintenance, including periodic controlled burns to prevent more chaotic fires like the one that initially awakened the serpent in this story. The fact that it’s indigenous peoples in particular who usually retain consciousness of these practices and keep them going also makes it that much more egregious that their work is being disregarded for the myth of “pristine nature untouched by humans” in a story centered on an Australian Aboriginal myth specifically. It’s a good effort at trying to raise environmental consciousness but the specific failures in interpretation leave a bad taste in my mouth.
I can’t tell what message the author wants to send with whole part on India and China. They acted perfectly rationally under the circumstances. Their entire nations were literally on the verge of imminent utter annihilation. Were they supposed to just give up and die because people in America who has literally suffered zero domestic casualties said so? The US would’ve went nuclear Armageddon long before the snake destroys the second major US city. All and all the US-centric undertone in this plot is just a bit in your face that even an invincible apocalyptic demigod apparently knows to leave America unscathed while it demolishes the world. It’s otherwise a good story but it’s so distracting to see what’s supposed to be an uncaring anomaly playing along so that we can self insert and lecture the east on how they should be defending themselves from utter annihilation while we watch from the sidelines.
I mean, it started in Australia and increased its radius gradually from there, logically the US would be one of the last places hit. It did blow up D.C. which is a net gain tbh
My headcannon is that the majority of D class are volunteres picked from termibal hospital wards or survivors of skip attacks. The staff arw told they are all death row criminals so they dont go crazy with guilt about feeding them into a meat grinder. Often litteraly.
Holy shit the foundation got written as incompetent af, just get the deer god from saturn to turn that snake into a giant popsicle, ask 343 to delete it from existance or reason with it or use the anomalous nerf gun to... nerf it and then hit it with project mongoose
The scp stories don’t follow any continuity. You basically pick the lore yourself and it’s also because it’s an open writing project. So you can have that be the ending in your head canon. It’s also why there’s lots of stories that contradict stuff in the lore
Here are is a funny question: What did the kaiju Sue did during every single major extinction event since the forming of Earth? Evidence shows life required millions of years to recover, I guess it was a natural event eh? Just like an abusive husband who can stomp on his wife face but will punch anyone so much as leering at her. Extinction is the irrevocable destiny of all species, environmental change is as inevitable as tectonic movement or stars going nova. I think the main problem with most eco-posers is that they still haven't figured out changes must be done to benefit the prosperous existence of humankind on Earth.
The story would have been infinitely superior if it assigned most extinction events to the snake and threw out the pro-eco-terrorism message. Oh, and if the author actually did some basic research on nuclear proliferation, as the story hand-waved ~12,693 nuclear warheads (nevermind China only using 3.43% of it's publicly-known nuclear arsenal).
to heck with the turkey and good health; THIS is what I'm thankful for. So awesome. So refreshing to get to see the Foundation and GOC getting to take the gloves off nor have to pull their punches. Just delightful.
I've been playing the Soul Hackers 2 game and a few days before the first part of this SCP, I saw The Rainbow Serpent as the highest level of its unit species. On another note, seeing The Rainbow Serpent spring itself into space and yank the SCP/GOC satellite cannon must have terrified them alot.
Honestly if it wasn’t for this channel I would have forgotten all about the Scp world thank you for making these long ones because I actually love it I wish I was rich I would fund this channel like a Mf
Solar, Wind, and Nuclear all require HEAVY mining and process of raw materials that would make this snake come back again. Whoever wrote this does not understand the process of HOW Solar, Wind, and Nuclear function in terms of raw material to energy production. Nuclear is most likely the easiest seeing it requires less processing but still requires HEAVY mining operation to even get the raw materials. Whoever wrote I repeat: DOES NOT UNDERSTAND PRODUCTION LINE!
Yep here we go!! Was just talking about how great this channel is with its top tier content sure the other channels are serviceable however Volgun and the exploring series is on that top shelf.
I don't think this is a bad video at all, I'm almost always a big fan of your content. I would love to see more one-off videos, there is several of your series that I need to go back and watch because the videos are all long and there's so many parts
almost 2 hours of a boring ass description of big eco-fascist snake mauling the world and the foundation failing to stop it hoooly shit the worst scp so far, no story no nothing
The thing with nuclear power, or at least fission power, is that the radiation is going to be happening anyway. The only change is that we concentrate it, and it remains the safest and cleanest energy source we have access to even over wind and especially over solar (solar panels create a LOT of dangerous run off during production and can be converted into bombs pretty easily). We just tend to give solar a pass because big coal/gas/oil didn't feel threatened by it in the 60s-90s and didn't spent billions on fear mongering against it.

I think your definition of “captured” is a bit strong when you consider that 343 basically came in on his own whim and can literally leave at any time without the foundation being able to do anything about it. And the other deific entities they have locked up all have specific rituals and techniques that they are vulnerable to that can easily be exploited.

In any other story the Foundation would have utilized those guardian deities that were brought up but I guess after beating it with a laser didn't work they just submitted and forgot about it
Weird that you would introduce something that is said to have stopped the monsters rampaging in the past and then just never use it, especially after admitting that the Foundation was looking into it. It could have been a last ditch effort, summon the deities, battle ensues, deities win but the Foundation learns that it would be better for everyone if they met the Serpents demands anyway just so no one has to deal with it anymore and it can be thoroughly contained with the Deities being on something like a speed dial if necessary
Yeah I agree. Why mention the guardian dieties if they wouldn't be used?
It could be argued that the guardian spirits did infact influence the snake to stop destroying humanity, as it would be incredibly odd for an almighty nature god to simply halt it's annihilation of human development(or being "satisfied")...if not for the fact that someone or something had convinced it to stop. Perhaps the guardian spirits offered up a compromise, one in which the snake would only unleash it's wrath on the most polluted & intrusive sections of human settlements, leaving the less developed sections alone, and then quietly observe mankind to see that they can learn to live in a more peaceful coexistence with nature.
I can't speak for the author but I can at least offer that headcanon on it.
It would have been funny if they did manage to contact a guardian entity but it took one look at the situation and said "sorry bro, you kind of deserve this beating".
What an underwhelming end.
This is basically just an epic wholesome solarpunk fanfic.
So much more that couldve been explored here, bit oh well - guess we're just subservient to some giant snake without even really being mad about losing the foundation of our civilization and thus the infrastructure necessary for the Foundation to continue its work - just another Tuesday innit
Yeah I don't really buy any of this. Seems like it ignores a lot of scps to push a very heavy handed message.
Wholesome? It gleefully killed billions of humans, muted them into various animals that now eat each other, and sent humanity back several hundred years at the very least (I'd have said multiple millennia if it wasn't for SCP-tech that can likely mitigate some of that damage).
This blasted eco-terrorist kaiju managed to jump to the top of my most hated entities in SCP literature, even past that yeti abomination that tortures children during the winter holidays.
@@DarkVeghetta I think this one doesn't really work because in the current age of SCP the Foundation is thought of as kind of invincible, so them losing to a big snake that shoots lighting seems ridiculous when you take into account they contain literal gods.
@@simulterious9767 Ikr. However, each SCP article is technically it's own cannon, so the author can alter whatever aspects they want... but that still doesn't make it palatable, just permissible.
@@DarkVeghetta Yeah, it is permissible, but I would strongly argue it's out of touch
in the sense that a lot of people don't think that. Many people view the cactusverse as THE canon, for example. This one goes out of its way to ignore popular and long standing SCPs in favor of it's heavy handed message. Really just a combination of bad factors.
It targets places such as the Three Gorges Dam, but not the places that has the same effects like the Aswan Dam and the Hoover Dam. Selective indeed
Classic western environmentalist type
Something something westerners bad
He straight up says that hundreds of cases were excluded from the video for the sake of brevity.
Feel like for how repetitive the story already is, this would've just been another listing of events that wouldn't have added much other than length...
Is this the last part? Every Monday morning with a SCP Exploring video is a good morning.
Nah. Get me SCP 399, SCP 2700, and SCP 2501 and I’ll give this thing a fight. Use 2501 to hold it in place and use 399’s ability to alter atomic forces to rip it a new one while using the mechanism at the center of 2700 to power 399. I’m not saying I’d succeed but I’s give it one hell of a fight.
Oh, so we can call down friendly fire on a GOC site, because the ends justify the means. But as soon as the satellite lands on the SCP base, all of a sudden we can't risk triggering it, even though the threat entity is hip deep that bases' guts.
In all fairness, the site likely has a scheiße-ton of valuable stuff. Not to mention Site-19...
Keter bois getting ready to roll out. 🤠
That because lately the GOC got turned into the main bad guys
First decision was made by O5, secind by an AI. Laws of robotics kicked in, I guess.
Seems to me like zapping the GOC was a bit less "ends justifies the means" and a bit more "two birds with one stone".

It started as the typical environmentalist revenge fantasy and I was expecting some clever plot twist which never came. At least the author admitted that nuclear power is clean and green during the typical "bad humans" finger wagging.
It’s not even just environmentalist. It feels anti-human at this point. Though I guess that describes the average western environmentalist pretty well…
It even presents global human genocide as a positive. Rarely have I had the displeasure to listen to something this vile.
@@DarkVeghettaits fiction though...
@@thedarkapex5327 Yes. Vile fiction with a very real present-day political agenda.
I would presume you've seen eco-terrorist cooks on the news (in the UK/USA) or on YT, gluing themselves to priceless pieces of art and holding up traffic to the point that people have died in ambulances.
This sort of sentiment is held by real people, in the here and now - people that hate themselves and every other human on earth.
If it would be entirely theoretical I'd still find the sentiment loathsome, but I'd probably be quiet about it. Sadly, this is part of the modern western socio-political discourse, hence it needs to be called out and not ignored when it rears it's ugly head.
Odd how it didn't target wind farms, being that they're a huge use of land. Hydro would probably be the one it would leave alone.
They're also great at mincing the local flying wildlife.
This was a low-info and heavy-handed SCP.
@@DarkVeghetta this was a fanfic solely trying to push the message, if you know what I mean.
@@Brien831 I very much do, hence my other comments on this video.
@@DarkVeghettaGodzilla is heavy handed and this was certainly inspired by Godzilla
@@thedarkapex5327 Godzilla was a somewhat obvious allegory for nuclear war, created 9 years after Japan actually got nuked - twice. Given the low amount of information on nuclear effects at the time, the movie made a lot more sense back then and was one of the many steps Japan had to take to deal with it's collective trauma.
Furthermore, Godzilla was an ANTAGONIST initially. Humans overcame him, symbolically overcoming the looming threat of nuclear annihilation.
This, on the other hand, is hot human-hating garbage.
I can only envision project mongoose sounding like ramiel from the eva rebuild
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did just nothing happen to Europe? In both parts there were attacks around the pacific area, I seem to recall an attack on southern Africa in Part 1 and in this second part the Americas were under attack, but nothing happened to Europe as far as I know. Did they actually get attacked and did I just forget or did they somehow escape the snake?
It'd be funny if it's just a case of the writer forgetting that Europe is a thing
Nah, every part of the world is attacked. But there's nothing worth of note that happened in Europe that hadn't already happened elsewhere in the world, so the foundation probably just cut them from the list of attacked place
That was a good watch. Now give us the part that everything backs to normal an foundation founds a way to put it in a coma.
Heh, that part at the end there made me think of Mr. Adler from South Park saying "Stop screwing around. You screw around too much."
SCP-6004: the ultimate paper straw
I would have liked an ending where the scp foundation and the serpent reach a state of cold war with us threatening to use multiple mongoose weapons to eliminate all life on earth, stating that humans will take everything with us if the serpent targets us again. Seems less foundationy to become subservient like that
A lot of people can agree Foundation bending their knee is very uncharacteristic of them, even despite dire circumstances.
That seems more likely what the foundation would would tbh
Or a story where the SCP foundation did literally anything that changed the story at all, lol. Why even have the foundation in this story, tbh
I feel like the Foundation outright threating to wipe out Mankind would be more out of character.
The Mission is Secure, contain and Protect after all
Might have been made that for them bending the knees to a deity would have been unhuman enough to justify just ending the world there and restarting
This was, honestly a fascinating listen, instead of total annihilation on either sides part, ended with just one side being mostly annihilated, effectively being told that 'You fucked around, I'm here to make you find out', really interesting change of pace.
As if every single military on the planet wouldn't instantly hit that thing with every single weapon at hand.
I think that was the efforts of the foundation and GoC. China and India ignored them, but maybe they got the rest to listen. Probably was easier once everyone saw what happened to those two countries.
There was hardly any effort by the foundation to ignore. The two nations were facing imminent utter annihilation and all the foundations can do sums to “chill bro just wait it out”
To be fair once nukes was shown to be useless what is a country supposed to do?
"Humanity was a disease and it was the cure" delivered with stone cold deadpan that made me die laughing
that was beyond cringe tbh

What’s the point of recovering wild life if billions of innocent lives are killed? What a deeply immoral and evil creature. Humans don’t get a kick out of polluting the environment. Neither do most have a say in the matter in the first place. A anomalously smart demigod noodle should know better.
Quick clicked this as soon as I got the notification love the content man thx for the amazing work
There is nothing I want to know more then how this anomoly reacted to 610, and how it reacted to the serpent.
It has been a while since I've heard anything about the manna charitable foundation, glad to see them mentioned again even so slightly
Great narration as usual, TES, but I gotta say, this wasn't a good pick. *Rant inbound*
Heavy handed just begins to describe this article. The background and the start are pretty solid and interesting, as we have no shortage of deities antagonizing Humanity. So much so that it comes out as just another climate change preech. Oh no, here comes the eco-terrorist Rayquaza, what can we do but atone for the sins of progress? As if the Foundation hasn't dealt with equally serious a.d bigger threats. Sure, canon is loose at best, but come on, there wasn't any other options of containment? Also, they jumped really quick from that to neutralization.
And the thing is, I'm not even opposed to the background laid in there. I legit thought the article would explore Australian myths, with the whole ancient serpent stuff, but as soon as the polution targeting stopped, I cut that idea right away. Can't help but feel like this was a bit of a waste, even nore having those guardian spirits that just got mentioned as a "bonus".
This one is clearly well made and has a good amount of effort put into it, but it just touches on the main topics of every single crazy environmentalist I've seen, short of voluntary genocide (although, if you squint...)
Again, not entirely opposed to the scp, but the "go green or else" message superseeds the anomalous side of it. Also, pretty cinematographic, so another thing detracting, at least to me. I swear, everyone wants to make the next Apotheosis or Ourobouros Cycle...
I think it ruined the taste of what is meant to be anomalous. And also a slap in the face to the Australian myth surrounding the Rainbow Serpent.
It’s funny how you mention “crazy” environmentalists, as if the slow destruction of our planet by major corporations and politicians isn’t crazy. The Serpent isn’t meant to reflect the morality or goals of environmentalists; it’s to allude to our planet’s fate if things don’t change.
I think a good way to think about this article is that the Foundation's goals are, thought the ends and means may get mixed up, to further the survival of humanity. So while the Foundation doesn't really see the environment as a huge issue (they probably could fix it if they broke the veil) so much as humanity, thus, this scp forces the foundation to steward nature as we should have for our betterment.
Here I go again with another controversial comment!
I’m pretty “meh” about this SCP. Maybe it’s because I don’t like Mary Sue characters (Rainbow Serpent in this case), or maybe it’s because as a mild environmentalist myself, I feel that this and many other SCPs that take on complex topics like this just kinda don’t think past the surface level. I never downvote TES stuff because he’s just the narrator, but I don’t think this is an SCP worth two videos that could’ve been filled with other ones.
Again this is my opinion and you’re free to disagree with me!
I agree
No no, you're spot on
I Agree, this is just another big powerful SCP, that can only work ignoring all the other all powrfull SCP, and at this point is a pretty boring topic. Also, this environment SCP take a stand that I really don't like, making "mother nature" a good being, when in reality this is not true, simplifying all the complexity of environmental problems like good vs evil.
I mostly agree with this. I do think the escalation of the conflict was interesting despite it being an invincible kaiju, but the themes were a bit much. I doubt it was intended, but it came off as "human bad, nature good". As fun of a spectacle fight against a giant invincible monster in story form can get though.
@@jandresshade Plus the snake selectively destroying of the east vs west; and literally lecturing China on how it should not defend itself from imminent utter annihilation like every military in the world wouldn’t just throw every weapon they have in the thing at once. Just to put that icing on the Marry Sue cake.
This channel is my absolute favorite. You have an abundance of my favorite shit between H.P Lovecraft and SCPs. Keep it up dude :)
How naive, it is cute, but ultimately a failed end.
So the Mongoose laser is basically Ramiel from Evangelion 1.11. Screams and all.
I Honestly can't get enough of your videos, Monday is my favourite day of the week😌
Thank you so much.
I kinda wonder how the rainbow serpent would react to the Gaia scp. I think in the universe where the foundation turned an agent into the Gaia scp the rainbow serpent wouldn't wake up simply cause the scp foundation would already be doing what it wants
Thank god I was on the brink of falling asleep at work way to come in clutch
I feel like they could've used SCP-4051 to stop it.
Dude can delete anything by just summoning the opposite of it, he doesn't even need to know what his target is to do that (ridiculously overpowered, and he wants to be a hero).
Absolutely loving this series so far. .
Wondering why some company hasn't made these into a movie or TV series yet
Maybe it's for the better. Let SCP remain in a relative obscurity and in the hands of the independent creators.
Bc Creative Commons licensing prevents businesses from owning copyright of any SCPs they adapt.
The greening of Australia and the world at large, also the destruction of most of humanity, made this scp sounds like the perfect beginning of the bellerverse canon. And coincidentally, made the rainbow serpent creator of world like in its original myth
Wonder if the Serpent’s Hand rebrands itself afterwards.
Will it become the Serpent's Heart?
They post one or these Corporation Apology mails that says that their is no connection between this Godlike Serpent and their Godlike Serpent.
Producing food by anomalous means, huh? Everybody gonna get reeeeaaaaal sick of potatoes and cake.
Nah not the cake it’s too dangerous. Just the potatoes…
Hope you like potatoes!
I wonder what would've happened if this foundation had scp 6659 at its disposal
But they're gonna need a totem of worship
So...what's the origin of the Serpent? Nature itself?
If so then destroying the Serpent may have unreversible negative effect on nature
@@jackknight1899 what if they put one of the small animals in the totemic signifier?
Well, while it could work it is liked to nature and being alive in General.
So deleting it could potencially wie out all live
@@dethkillerspiral That might work but death of nature is a very very bad Broken Veil and other K-class scenario.
@@plinfan6541 isn't there a cave somewhere housing a universe with that kinda end scenario? Well, then again, there's still the corpses I guess, just no metabolism.
Man, what a boring story.
More environmentalist bullshit, kinda tiring.
Literal dragon jumps out of the ground screaming “I SPEAK FOR DA TREEEEEES”
At the very least they gave nuclear energy some credit, because efficiency is the only way to progress humanity and the environment. Bonus points for aboriginal mythology.
This feels like the backstory to something.
Like you could imagine a Group of Interest finding a way to build cities inside of the serpent's dreams so it goes on a berserk universal rampage or crafting anomalous gardening tools from its scales that make plants grow back quicker (but with extinct bugs appearing as well) or something. Hell, maybe it could be an important ally against The Broken God at some point in some universe.
Scp should use an scp to summon Kratos. This kinda thing is his specialty
Serpent: USE GREEN ENERGY REEEEEE
>Causes multiple nuclear power plants to melt down
Serpent: NOOO NOT LIKE THAT
>SCP appeasement protocol uses nuclear energy

Ah, so one more canon...curious if we'll see more bits in this one, especially when things that are NOT human start screwing with the environment. Just because they didn't use iron and fire doesn't mean that the Children of the Night were any less disruptive to natural cycles, and that's not even getting into the various murder monsters that can grow out of control if allowed to do so.
As others have said, it's an interesting little ditty, and fits the theme of Nature that was part of the 6000 contest well, with a load of good info into how it affected humanity, but less so in how it affected the anomalous stuff. This is one of those worlds made I would be interested in seeing more interaction with, either through someone just writing more, or even them coming into contact with one of the primary canons through any one of the multi-universal constructs like the Recursive Room or the Infinite Ikea or such.
I thought this was a very heavy handed handed fanfic driven by the message, that just happens to play in the scp verse. 1 dimensional human bad, nature good conclusion as well.
@@Brien831 To be fair, it's a message that fits the theme of 'Nature' as I said. The issue in the SCP verse is that we are not the only sapient lifeforms on the planet.
How would this thing react to the Deva for instance? I mentioned the Children of the Night, and they are briefly touched on in the article, but the Deva neither are quite healthy for a living world. One would use living energy as a weapon, as seen through many of their fleshy remnants that the idiots...sorry the various Sarkic cults worship. Those are 'living' but they are destructive beyond reason. Meanwhile the Fae and the Bigfoot created horrendous things that use living things as the basis.
And then you have individual entities. It's presence disrupts electronics and tech, and seems to be harmed by it as well. What happened with SCP 5001 during all of this? Or the One Who Knows Silence in the Earth? Heck, the Deer God too, or even the Gate Guardian? Why were they just chilling when this thing came through?
This is one of those things When Day Break deals with by literally saying the presence of this entity 'overrides' the hume levels of the others, essentially asserting its OWN reality over theirs, and destroying them in the process. That honestly should have been this one's MO too, at least in my opinion.
The problem is, most of these sub-canons like this are BIG, like universe changing big, but this one is such an...Earth problem, that it feels lacking in that respect. What happens now? This thing isn't invulnerable, the Foundation HURT it, badly with the Mongoose weapon, and the only reason they didn't just build is Site 19's destruction disrupted them, and the GOC's weapons facility being hit probably soured relations in that area. But as things return to peace...why would they not do this again? Bigger and better?
What about when something terrible comes up and kills it? Hell, since it's not immune to certain things, I'm sure there are a dozen things the Hand could do to it, and they have no love of 'Nature' in this respect, and it was probably just as disruptive to them. Even the Manna Foundation and Wilson's Wildlife Solutions seemed rattled, so I suspect this canon dies with the serpent.
Yay, part 2! This one has been really interesting. Every time there's an upload I get super excited. They're perfect to listen to on my commute to work.
Was kind of hoping that the foundation would actually kill the snake, this SCP kinda reminds me of the other nature reclaims the earth SCP that was covered on this channel awhile back, at least some people survived this one I guess
Foundation taking another big fat L lol. I hope there's a scp where humanity are a bunch of badass that always come out on time
To be fair, this one was part of the SCP-6000 contest...which had the theme of _nature._
Still think 6001 (Avalon) was the best one out of that contest, but oh well.
Another fine tale to drift off into the miasma of dreams.
My personal record is 5 replays of a TES video before I got the ending, without falling asleep.
The soothing production is in stark contrast to the exciting content, imho.
Thanks you for all your work. I've been watching for years now and even beyond the scp stuff just bloody brilliant work 👏 🙌 . If you ever become a writer I will buy your books or literature how ever you do.
Straight up this stories have got me through some dark times man. Instead of drugs bro. Yeah just real big help man like take your mind off the want for it.
I'm over 700 days sober and I've listened to your channel everyday.
I love this story, but two things I don't like are how the Foundation still wants to nesting all of humanity, and that it's done this thing before. The story would just have more impact and stakes if this version of the Foundation couldn't just press the SCP-2000 button or something and reset everything. Also, it's just dumb that the Foundation still wants to amnestize everyone, even though the story has such a theme of renewal and humanity learning from our mistakes.
Great video
To be fair I think this “new world” would set the scene or one great tales, that could easily show that while in the beginning things were all green and rainbows, over time human greed and other vices took back control causing more problems than in the first place
Especially given the fact that the mongoose weapon tech still exists and is the literal opposite of the serpent
Massively confused why the serpent went after nuclear plants, like rainbow-danger-noodle-bro, those aren't the problem
because the author thinks nuclear power is evil. This felt like some kind of fanfiction trying to push the message
Nuclear waste is a problem. Not as big a problem as a gazillion tons of pollution being pumped into our water and atmosphere, but enough to piss off snakebro.
@@Brien831 then why is the author encouraging the use of nuclear power as a way of producing clean energy? Oh right, because you didn't actually watch the vid.
@@thaliacrafts407 that’s why the first one is confused
The serpent attacks nuclear power plants at a certain point while also saying that they were safe from the serpent wrath
Thank you for everything you are one of the few people I can fall asleep to!
Excellent work man!
I also would like to thank you. I'm on vacation in another state but at least I have TES to keep me occupied.
... Your readings and opinions, the summarizations and such of the stories, made you my favorite over other SCP channels. Please keep it up, and everyone else please do your part by doing the RUclips things...
I kinda feel that this Rainbow Serpent would be the mortal enemy of the other rainbow serpent due to their goals in mythology.

Honestly we need another writing that renders this SCP both null and void by revealing the true power the Foundation and the other anomalous groups that could crush this snake. I see too much heavy handed political/environmental wet dream. I think even the Leviathan could technically destroy that serpent?
Loving this story! As always, TES always does an amazing job 👏 🙌 ❤️
Surprised it didnt also destroy the solar and wind energy since it did attack mines
Mining operations are well known for becoming environmental disasters, and solar/wind farms are not. Solar farm never formed a toxic pit
@@VultureSkins Yes they become environmental disasters when something goes wrong... Like a giant snake blowing it up... But wouldn't it know that? Although thinking about it maybe it knew enough that without the cobalt, zinc, aluminium, copper, lithium, silver, gold, or lead mines everything would fall apart including solar and wind power... It's kind of confusing...
Videos were good in terms of coverage and storytelling, but I don’t like this SCP in particular because of how it reaches a conclusion of “HUMANS MUST NEVER DO ANYTHING TO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT EVER!” It spits in the face of environmental stewardship, AKA good practices that humans undertake in order to preserve the environment around them. Numerous places that have been made into national parks only got as gorgeous as they were at the time of being made so because indigenous peoples took the time to perform maintenance, including periodic controlled burns to prevent more chaotic fires like the one that initially awakened the serpent in this story. The fact that it’s indigenous peoples in particular who usually retain consciousness of these practices and keep them going also makes it that much more egregious that their work is being disregarded for the myth of “pristine nature untouched by humans” in a story centered on an Australian Aboriginal myth specifically. It’s a good effort at trying to raise environmental consciousness but the specific failures in interpretation leave a bad taste in my mouth.
that's a pretty bad faith reading of this story
@@alrightletsgo5715 how so? can you list the parts that are bad faith and tells exactly why?
Yes! Part2 is up
I can’t tell what message the author wants to send with whole part on India and China. They acted perfectly rationally under the circumstances. Their entire nations were literally on the verge of imminent utter annihilation. Were they supposed to just give up and die because people in America who has literally suffered zero domestic casualties said so?
The US would’ve went nuclear Armageddon long before the snake destroys the second major US city.
All and all the US-centric undertone in this plot is just a bit in your face that even an invincible apocalyptic demigod apparently knows to leave America unscathed while it demolishes the world.
It’s otherwise a good story but it’s so distracting to see what’s supposed to be an uncaring anomaly playing along so that we can self insert and lecture the east on how they should be defending themselves from utter annihilation while we watch from the sidelines.
I mean, it started in Australia and increased its radius gradually from there, logically the US would be one of the last places hit. It did blow up D.C. which is a net gain tbh
My headcannon is that the majority of D class are volunteres picked from termibal hospital wards or survivors of skip attacks.
The staff arw told they are all death row criminals so they dont go crazy with guilt about feeding them into a meat grinder.
Often litteraly.
Holy shit the foundation got written as incompetent af, just get the deer god from saturn to turn that snake into a giant popsicle, ask 343 to delete it from existance or reason with it or use the anomalous nerf gun to... nerf it and then hit it with project mongoose
The scp stories don’t follow any continuity. You basically pick the lore yourself and it’s also because it’s an open writing project. So you can have that be the ending in your head canon. It’s also why there’s lots of stories that contradict stuff in the lore

NOW THATS A LOTTA DAMAGE!!!!
I loved this one so much. I love it because this is the kind of nihilism I love.
Here are is a funny question:
What did the kaiju Sue did during every single major extinction event since the forming of Earth? Evidence shows life required millions of years to recover, I guess it was a natural event eh? Just like an abusive husband who can stomp on his wife face but will punch anyone so much as leering at her.
Extinction is the irrevocable destiny of all species, environmental change is as inevitable as tectonic movement or stars going nova.
I think the main problem with most eco-posers is that they still haven't figured out changes must be done to benefit the prosperous existence of humankind on Earth.
The story would have been infinitely superior if it assigned most extinction events to the snake and threw out the pro-eco-terrorism message. Oh, and if the author actually did some basic research on nuclear proliferation, as the story hand-waved ~12,693 nuclear warheads (nevermind China only using 3.43% of it's publicly-known nuclear arsenal).
to heck with the turkey and good health; THIS is what I'm thankful for. So awesome. So refreshing to get to see the Foundation and GOC getting to take the gloves off nor have to pull their punches. Just delightful.
Oh man. I loved your part 1.
I've been waiting 😁
I've been playing the Soul Hackers 2 game and a few days before the first part of this SCP, I saw The Rainbow Serpent as the highest level of its unit species. On another note, seeing The Rainbow Serpent spring itself into space and yank the SCP/GOC satellite cannon must have terrified them alot.
At least it's not the one from The Monument Mythos. That would've been a multiversal catastrophe.

Solar, Wind, and Nuclear all require HEAVY mining and process of raw materials that would make this snake come back again.
Whoever wrote this does not understand the process of HOW Solar, Wind, and Nuclear function in terms of raw material to energy production. Nuclear is most likely the easiest seeing it requires less processing but still requires HEAVY mining operation to even get the raw materials.
Whoever wrote I repeat: DOES NOT UNDERSTAND PRODUCTION LINE!
Yep here we go!! Was just talking about how great this channel is with its top tier content sure the other channels are serviceable however Volgun and the exploring series is on that top shelf.

almost 2 hours of a boring ass description of big eco-fascist snake mauling the world and the foundation failing to stop it hoooly shit the worst scp so far, no story no nothing
Man, Captain Planet really hit the deep end.
Decent scp, little heavy handed on the extremely overt message. I'd like some more DJKaktus stories.
yea I didnt like it. It felt the events were driven by the message and werent really consistent with the Scp verse.
The thing with nuclear power, or at least fission power, is that the radiation is going to be happening anyway. The only change is that we concentrate it, and it remains the safest and cleanest energy source we have access to even over wind and especially over solar (solar panels create a LOT of dangerous run off during production and can be converted into bombs pretty easily). We just tend to give solar a pass because big coal/gas/oil didn't feel threatened by it in the 60s-90s and didn't spent billions on fear mongering against it.

i wonder if launching other god like SCP could have delyed this snake.
