54:22 : "Only a fool fights Entropy" *Meanwhile in another SCP entry, the Administrator won a bar fight against the physical embodiment of Entropy at the end of time*
David: Never thought I would spend a whole day with a talking cat Primrose: how about spending a whole day with a friend? David: ......aye.... I could do that
This SCP is basically: "Hard-to-Defeat Reptile? Extinction of Dragons? What are you talking about? Hurry up, I can't wait to keep watching the beautiful statue"
This genre of storytelling is called solarpunk, btw. It's a direct response to the dystopian cyberpunk and apocalyptic dieselpunk, presenting a brighter vision of the future, one where people learn to listen to empathy.
I didn’t realize until I read your comment. I envisioned most of the entire story in my head. Places, settings, and characters came to life for me and I didn’t really think much of it until reading through the comments.
@@Drunklotus I know this is influenced by the art in here, but Studio Ghibli would make this beautiful! With all the fantastical descriptions of all the creatures and buildings I feel like they could really do this story justice.
@@BuckysKnifeFlip funny thing is. I listened to this at work, so I wasn’t watching my screen at all. The author does a good job being descriptive. But yes, Ghibli could absolutely knock this out of the park if they were to try and make a film out of this
Out of all the horrid stories from the SCP universe, this one gave me the most post-story depression. Thinking about what could be or could've been has always been my biggest vulnerability.
"we asked why and they said we were no longer disgusting" fucking wowww man, making 682 disgusted at the way life treats itself is my fav headcanon i think.
it kinda just sounds like nonsense to me. then again given how its reason is never specified, any headcanon really fits. it just feels dismissive and just a lazy way around the obvious issues of such an entity existing. hell I am more curious about shit like the Old AI
@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 682 is known for being destructive and having a hatred of life while being immortal. This can be interpreted with different meanings and metaphors depending on canon or personal belief. But I believe in this canon that 682 represents humanity. And since humanity had created a utopia that a reluctant dimension hopper had described as "Perfect in every way", you could say that humanity was no longer disgusting.
@user-kv8uj1sg1f Just because there are much fewer obligations in the 6001 universe doesn't mean there's no meaning. Your motivation doesn't have to be survival or the elimination of stress, it could be joy. It could be the satisfaction of a job well done. It could be the fuzzy feeling you get from helping another person out. It could be the calmness that comes from building something with your hands. It could be intellectual curiosity. To say that the stress is the only true motivator is a defeatist idea. Your motivation shouldn't be to minimize suffering, it should be to maximize happiness.
@zee stress is not at all required for motivation and is often a key factor in unmotivating people. Motivation sans stress is driven by pure human desire and I assure you utopia or dystopia that can never truly be extinguished.
I can see why you’d miss the music before it fits in so well with the atmosphere that it just disappears, exploring series really is something aren’t they
It's actually written in the wing-dings font it said "T︎h︎i︎s︎ c︎o︎n︎v︎e︎r︎s︎a︎t︎i︎o︎n︎ i︎s︎ p︎o︎i︎n︎t︎l︎e︎s︎s︎ a︎n︎d︎ I︎ h︎a︎t︎e︎ a︎r︎c︎h︎i︎v︎i︎n︎g︎ i︎t︎.︎"
I like how it *could* be implying that we corrupted it somehow. Now it's like "oh, you don't want to look at me? I'll make sure you never look at anything else ever again." It goes back to that bit about "are we rougher around the edges than them because our world is harsher or is our world harsher because of us?".
Haha lucky world. I believe it was contained originally after killing innocents, but I can't remember. Within the narrative, I am sure a butterfly effect is to blame, one of the things Primrose muse.
@@warriorscholar41 we were molded by constant attacks from tigers, lions, from the explosions of volcanoes and earthquakes and asteroids. We evolved as the apex predator to defeat all that could hurt us. We're rougher and tougher than everyone else bc we had to and have to be to survive. So to answer the question, the world was rough, and we evolved to be rougher than it so we could thrive in it. That's the difference between humanity and the animals, we can thrive in this world, they can just survive. They can't do anything if an asteroids about to hit, we can destroy it and enjoy the meteor shower from our telescopes.
@@oracle8192 Your comment makes me wonder if the author of this SCP was in part inspired by the concept of the Great Filter. In case you are unaware, the Great Filter is what arose from us asking "where is all the other sentient life?" Either we are one of the only few species that have survived some great trial or we have yet to pass said trial and the really intelligent species aren't bothering with us until we prove ourselves. The actual anomaly, the microscopic portal, is a literal filter that keeps us apart from that world, and it won't be until we evolve past the apex murder machines we had to become, until we can realize that we don't have to be that anymore, that we can cross the filter.
@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 savages get things done and provide the bedrock for civilization. Smig characters like that rub me the wrong way, very holier-than-thou
"It also mentions the abundance of paper dragons in the library and having to move Cassie and her sisters between shelves" Oh baby, Cassie, the dragons, the teleporting chair and more got happy endings in this universe! It's nice to see articles like this. Just a feel good or happy stories, a nice break from the usual doom and gloom
Imagine the first person asking a chair to move a couch learn the hard way. And cassie learning not to jump between books blindly especially the 18+ "mature" books. Especially "adult cartoons".
Has anyone else noticed that the name this alternate reality gives to our universe, A6K, is a reference to the act that this was an SCP-6000 contest entry?
@@skaynne54 don't know if the A has any specific meaning, maybe it's just a random pick by the author... But 6k is a away to denote 6000, as K is the abbreviation of Kilo, or a thousand in SI (The International System of Units)
Fun fact: This anomaly was created to be the anthesis of SCP-5000. The writer even admitted that in response to SCP-5000’s premise of the Foundation declaring war on all of humanity, SCP-6001 was written as a way to answer the opposite question, “What if the Foundation declared peace?”
@@jakespacepiratee3740 That's just being idiotic. I won't even explain why. Try to understand it yourself. Well, respect doesn't mean what you think it does.
Clive Staples Lewis was a truly great man and his passing is overshadowed by JFK’s. He was a great Christian author and even as a pagan I can appreciate his work and words.
47:49 It’s 5031, living it’s best life! Honestly, the story of 5031 feels like one of the closest stories in the SCP world to this one. It started off incredibly violent, deadly, and dangerous, but that was just because it was scared and stressed. When it was given love and care, it became happy, friendly, and an excellent chef.
Love it when David says the soup was a bit heavy on the garlic too, cool lil reference to 5031s article where it freaks out after it runs out of garlic powder haha
oh my god I thought I knew what it was talking about!!!!! 5031 is one of my favorite SCPs I’ve read, I’m so glad it has its own restaurant and is happy 🥺😭 no more tossing bowling balls around. I wonder if he still plays piano!
Haha, same, and I'm sad I din't get to share it with anyone as nobody I know would ever bother to listen to it, moreso immerse themselves enough to feel for it. But I'm happy to see so many others I don't know enjoying it though.
I've listened to this video about a dozen times and it's honestly my favorite story so far and I finally know why. The alternate universe never claimed to be a "perfect world" only a "better" one. It still has problems and obstacles it has to overcome, Dr. Primrose even says as much. The significant difference is that the whole world collectively came together to solve those problems for the benefit of everyone. We don't need a perfect world, we need to give everyone a place in the solution in a flawed one.
Oh hey it's Lathland. Neat seeing you around here. Used to watch your From the Depths videos a bunch years ago. Looks like your channel is growing! Glad to see.
This SCP is simultaneously beautiful and depressing. Its just amazing to hear about an alternate world where humanity pulled itself together to create a future thats better for everyone, including anomalies and other species. And yet, its so sad to see it go away like that, now becoming a goal that even they aren't even sure is possible to reach. It really makes you wonder what the foundation is fighting for and if they really could change the very way they work to better benefit humanity. Honestly this SCP made me tear up with its ending, really well made and poetic
Incidentally I live on the coast of Peru, do you want to know what I see? I see a polluted sea, I see people living barely at minimum wage in an overpopulated coastal city filled with rubbish and smog, I see incompetents and criminals elected for the government, I see hideous news with death, scams and abuse every day. I literally cried when I thought of the difference between one reality and another.
@@Beetlebum55 Living in the US, I promise you it is not utopia here either. It's definitely better in many ways than Peru, but there are a lot of things that are still horrible.
It's fine as a story, but it's a little preachy. The finger wagging and statements that humans are too paranoid and should just trust everyone and every entity. Then we would all live in a perfect utopia. But if the Scarlet King showed up to destroy their universe, they would eat their own words.
This one is beautiful. In a universe of despair, avarice, and violence. There needed to be an opposite version, one so beautifully done that it could spawn its own collection of stories.
remember when scps were weird containment procedures for even weirder things? now we get audiobooks on alternate earths im not mad about it but i DO miss the old days
@@yoggothemadgod6196 depends on perspective. To each their own. But IMO , these entries should be mixed with normal scps. I don’t want the scp entries to stray too far from its original course, but occasionally, these entries are quite nice.
This is by far the most beautiful SCP entry i’ve listened to, it is also the saddest. I genuinely shed a tear when primrose simply answered “he was a nerd” thats how real friends mourn. Not to mention when she said she just wanted another day with her friend. Aside from all the feels stuffs, i think this is the most descriptive fictional world i’ve heard so far without all the scp anomalous memeplex mumbo jumbo. It was just a wonderfully crafted world. I think i’ll give this another listen
Dude same what the hell. I'm a grown ass man in my 30s but the second I heard that last bit, I looked over at my cat the floodgates just opened. Life's a real trip man, damn.
I think the only skip this channel cant explain is 5251, seriously how do you explain that anomaly without a prior reading? The video can't be a reading vid
Im sitting here crying. It hurts so much hearing this reality knowing the one we live in and the one the scp-universe lives in. I don't know. I just feel so much right now.
The paper dragons and having to hold back 999 from helping the baseline reality??? I love this story, it’s been a while since an SCP has made me this happy 🥺🥺🥺
They might of either died out, found a proper way to fit in, or simply didn’t exist at all. Edit: wanted to mention that I think they probably got folded together into that Red Hand Organization that was mentioned along with the Children of the Scarlet King.
My headcanon is that they were the "rough edges" the peace keepers had to deal with. It's not like you can happily compromise with the slaver bloody expansive empire or the inhuman fleshy monsters that worship disease
I figured that at least some Sarkic groups simply refused to participate in the Copendium's society and continue to exist in their own little corners of the world.
The Proto-Sarkics (who are peaceful but isolationist, even in the regular SCP universe) probably still live in their remote Eastern European villages, far away from the rest of the world.
@@wasserruebenvergilbungsvirus yeah, they're probably like that one village that gives blood and organ donations. They probably also supply food to any entities that rely upon human flesh exclusively for sustenance as a form of alternative to the genuine article. If not either of those, they're likely just chilling on there own, being their isolationist selves. Maybe some weird stuff goes on but nothing compared to the other universes. Heck maybe they helped with some of the advancements in the Avalon Universe.
@@camerondiflo3828 Because GAW is annoying. It's a bunch of internet culture and memes wrapped up in a costume to make it look like an interesting GOI. But it's unoriginal and derivative. People like it because they think the characters are "relatable," but I don't want to read about a bunch of kids being idiots on the internet. They're basically a derivative version of Are We Cool Yet, but written by people who grew up on the internet.
This scp feels like a series final to the SCP Foundation. Specfically in how it's full of throw backs to other scps, but they're all in a better place than they were when you first read about them. It's like how some kid's adventure cartoons will bring back a bunch of one off characters in the last few episodes, but a lot of them are happier and better adjusted because the main characters redeemed them.
I actually didn’t like the 6000 contest winner because it lacked the same wonder of a typical article that the exploring series would cover, which to me really makes an SCP article. This to me is amazing then, since even though most of the strife of the SCP universe is absent in 6001, the article still manages to preserve that familiar sense of wonder in all the articles that I think most of us can agree are some of the best articles on the site. This would have made a great -000 entry.

This one really suffers from obnoxious convenience and coincidence. It’s like they just went down a list of popular SCPs and said “HEY LOOK ITS THE THING, DONT THINK ABOUT IT”. It’s peak of lazy fan fiction writing. A good crossover has tact when it comes to bridging stuff together. I think it’s most obnoxious in how there were literally no new or unknown SCPs, like he just happened to only bump into or hear about all the big names.
@@gummyboots Although I understand where you're coming from, this scp is supposed to be an optimistic view of the scp world. Think of it as a fairy tale that's just a fun look into an alternate universe. The amount of scps mentioned in the article is just a way of showing, individually, how each anomaly can be used for the betterment of everyone or at least be less terrifying.
@DEEPFOXJUDE Well My Parents and Grand parents told me tons of stories of there life’s in the Ussr, and just the Similarity to the Bolsheviks and seeing it work. Just seems so Wrong and a tragedy waiting to happen.
@Micheal KO for communism to work the people in power need to be Morally perfect, Would you spend trillions of dollars every year spending money on everyone, Racists, homeless people, Nazis and disabled people giving them decent enough luxury. It always ends up with one small group being exterminated then bigger and bigger and we end up with the Ussr Exterminating people by the Quota. Maybe for a while it could work, but someone will eventually screw it over with his own Hatred or Greed it will always end up into a Dystopia, And quicker then most other form of government for finding such a great person to replace a great person before. Sorry If I sound to Aggressive Sorry This is probably a thing I shouldn’t have responded too, Sorry for Wasting your time or whatever else I probably screwed over.
I'm not going to lie, despite being pure Noblebright with no dark secret or twist ending, 6001 still really manages to add to the Grimdark of the SCP cannon for me, as a glimpse of what could have been, only around long enough to highlight how screwed our reality is before it's snatched away.
I argue it is more a matter of if circumstances were different. Things like the factory and "bigfoot" are extremely dangerous and hostile for reasons we arent quite sure. Bigfoot to the fairies and the factory was using sacrifices and blood rituals to make anomalies.
It's a horror tale in its own way. The humans in that universe are doomed to atrophy from laziness and turn into WALL-E humans. When a single hostile entity enters their universe, like the Scarlet King, they will be unprepared and be wiped from existence. Comfort and prosperity are at best temporary pleasures that can not be allowed to remain permanently in any society lest its members become complacent and unable to handle unforeseeable challenges. When the human race ends, it will be because evolution has atrophied our brains from becoming rarely needed.
@@thoughtexperimentsotherstu4680 Yes, I do agree, the Compendium is likely gonna experience XK class scenario pretty soon. Remember, the foundation is only around 200 years old, wayyy too short of a time to truly realise all the anomalies _even_ if the world was behind them. Which means they have possibly been utilising various anomalies that may, in the long run, cause quite some issues. And to create utopia, you first need to change how the entirety of humanity thinks and operates on the fundamental level, which does also mean they have been using cognito hazards to change people's mind to their way of thinking. Aka. This is a horror story from my perspective of this.
@@Elmithian they do have "peacekeepers" that smooth any "rough" edges. Plus, if everything goes to hell. They'll always can reset and try again. But this is universe where they keep getting lucky to the point of not needing any luck anymore and ever since.
@@Elmithian The Foundation doesn't have an actual creation date, depending on the skip you're drawing from it has technically always existed (e.g. 4010)
The theme was nature. This is an excellent entry, as it feels like a look into a softer world and how all it takes is a different mindset. The Foundation lives in Fear. The Compendium basks in acceptance.
The Compendium also have an army of 682 instances in perfect health, and even they don't know when or why they stopped being hostile towards every living thing. I'ma give that a hard N O
@@antitheist3206 it's implied that because the compendium is accepting and cooperative with anomalies, they're accepted by the immortigons, as one said "you are no longer disgusting". Seeing as the compendium has literally no reason to change their mindset, the immortigons are a non isssue
@@antitheist3206 i see them as a reflection of humanity, our worst aspects as a species. In A6K they're violent tirading, domineering monsters, because that's what we are. In the compendium universe, where humanity is much less violent, so are the immortigons, now reduced to mostly passive gentle giants
This is the third time I listen to this one, tears in my eyes every single time at the end, leaves me with such a melancholy yet hopeful feeling. The author has done an insanely good job, and TES's delivery is just pristine. I love the SCP universe for it's horror and wouldn't want all the SCPs and stories to be this positive (hell, this one wouldn't even work in that case), but such a unique gem like this really enriches the whole SCP universe for me.
Often in a world filled with horrors and darkness, you believe that there truly is no way to keep the world safe. But if one tries hard enough and keeps looking into the light, you may find the means to achieve unity…and peace
Flashing back to Hayao Miyazaki. This is how he'd show the Foundation, I'm sure of it. I also teared up quite a bit at the end. I also loved the reverence with which they treated the statue. The picture the article was based on was actually an art installation. So it's only right that the Statue get pride of place in an art museum. But I loved how so many of the old scps got a new spin, a chance at happiness. I'm curious where Dr. Bright is in all of this, but if Abel isn't violent I doubt Bright's in the pendant. The sapient cephalopods and the telepathic spider were two anomalies I was so happy to see. The dragons were a shoe in, but it seems I'm not the only one who remembers the telepathic spider and scheming ole Levi.
I just want to see my man Blackwood given back his full body and memory. If ever there would be a worthy and fitted ambassador for our world to theirs, Lord T. T. Blackwood is that person. His respect, wonder, passion, and humility are the greatest of humanity and as long as people like him are around, there's hope yet.
That man is so full of soul and exploratory vigour, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a changeling that could transform back and just marvel at the worlds phenoms
@@AJScraps I love that bit of the story. This implies another adventure he had, that resulted in his current predicament, that we can't yet read, because it is still ongoing and he doesn't really have hands to write it down with.
This article deserved the 6000 spot, honestly. Perfectly written and far more heartbreaking, emotionally affecting than any other SCP piece I can remember.
The "person" being referenced when David says he knows someone who can keep a secret? That has to be his own cat, Primrose. Would be the only thing that made sense to me.
Now that I understand on why it was called Avalon because it is an ever distant utopia that we all wish to be in but we can never arrive. the base universe that the SCP universe is located is quite grimdark in it's way so I guess the author had the idea of what if it all went right in the base universe and everything has a happy ending and I like it and I can say now that it's one of my favorite.
For me anyways, this one kind of completes the whole SCP universe as a story. It takes it from being a world pretty much doomed by a multitude of ever increasing threats, to one of hope where maybe one day the job will be done, and humanity can just live.
This must be what someone meant in a comment recently when they mentioned the SCP foundation starting to get social-justicey. I for one would like to believe that uplifted animals *wouldn't* have the kinds of ridiculous social sensitivity which afflicts humans who have decided they deserve better than they're getting.
@@eyitsaperson Many people who express distaste for changing social norms by painting said change as negative are also harboring deeply toxic ideologies such as racism.
Right up until the very end I was waiting for the bad news about 6001, it wouldn't be a SCP without something going wrong, right? Anyway, in times as hard as they have been, it is nice to hear about a SCP with an optimistic tone.
@@voxpop9 I almost cried at that part. The fact that she was saying goodbye to a friend she already lost and most likely will never see again is a real tear jerker. Especially with the music
@@mr.midnight3581 one day there will be a final SCP, whether it be becouse there's no one willing to write more or becouse there's no one left to write or even nowhere left to write, but eventually everything has to come to an end
@@zalanmarkus4939 that's not entirely true I mean we have no idea what happens when everything ends, I mean for all we know the ending is just the start of another longer story in a long line of stories that have been going on and on and who knows where it started to begin with
@@Fallen_Family welcome the pataphysical "big bang." If narrative entropy exists, it's when there's nowhere left to go in a story. When one story ends, but the creativity and curiosity to explore remain than a new world can begin.
This scp makes me both sad and happy, in a weird way, happy that story like this was put to paper in the same group of stories which are always really dark, disturbing or horrifying, it allows it to evoke a much stronger feeling, but i am also sad, that something like this just doesn’t seem possible in reality. I can only hope that one day we can achieve some sense of unity. Thats the kind of response a story like this got from me
It took me 30 minutes, nearly half the video, before I could let myself relax and accept that this was simply a pleasant SCP and to absorb the bliss of peace
I still don't trust it. There's too much likelihood of _something_ powerful gaining from creating a world like this. We've seen similar situations before - "utopia" built to draw in more victims.
@@furiousfinch1587 yeah me too. Because, when it's too good to be true, it's probably just that. Honestly if if anything like this could happen on earth IRL, they wouldn't name themselves the "compendium" but the "new world order"
ah yes the traumatic response inherent to reading scps a lot and hoping just once for either a positive or at least bittersweet ending rather than "and then everything got worse and people were godawful and misery woe" because apparently most horror writers think all horror must end without any sense of closure or positivity because doing otherwise would be "unrealistic" or "boring"
My professor in college once said that, according to his beliefs, the departed don't suffer in hell because they are burned and tortured. They suffer in hell because upon dying, they got a glimpse of what heaven is like. And that they will forever suffer a great longing of wanting to be in heaven. I am not a religious person but this SCP reminded me of what my professor said.
I feel the things that david felt. Jealousy and anticipation of the something bad happening, because that's just the SCP foundation. It never happened and I felt myself grow (In the sense of SCPs). I will never look at SCPs in the same way.
SCP-6666: 1:20:11 hours SCP-6000: 32:30 minutes SCP-6001: 1:08:04 I think Series 7 is going to be the longest series. If you don't believe me, SCP-6090 has overtaken 1730 as the longest article on the site. I don't mind. I just love the long videos, so much.
I really, really needed this today. I'd like to think that after all of that, after everything he'd seen, David would try to work behind the scenes to try to influence our reality to become the one he saw. And maybe, just maybe, he finds a cat one day and names her Primrose after his best friend from another world.
I would immediately get the anecdote out of the bag to the highest people I have contact with (considering David sent the mail to my self-insert), and see if it inspires them as it did to me. My idea: inspired by David's testimony of SCP-6001 and O5-3's sense of ethics, the O5 Council and EC invite over the Global Occult Coalition and Manna Charitable Foundation to offer peace. >The Special Containment Procedures Foundation will keep containing anomalies that won't contribute to the world or are dangerous. >The Global Occult Coalition however, will destroy those if it's possible and won't result in a different threat. >The Manna Charitable Foundation will normalise helpful anomalies to improve the world. Their first gift from the O5? Access to SCP-006 and 107. They make it rain health across many places, which is a fantastic start.
the true horror is the reflection of ourselves or the SCP universe. Basically it says: We are the reason why we can't have nice things. If you want utopia, do somethhing for it
@@schneejacques3502 it’s due to the subjectivity of utopia. Someone who values security over anything might love a surveillance state, which eradicates crime alongside eradicating privacy. Someone who values freedom might love a true anarchic group, where anyone could do anything with no repercussions outside what another individual might do in return. It’s an interesting concept. The first ever utopia conceived of is considered pretty dystopian by today’s standards.
@@realdaggerman105 That's why most modern concepts of utopia hinge on concepts of balance, accountability, and decentralized control. The key reason all other forms of utopia end is dystopia, is because they cater solely on the focus of one group of people's idea, rather than the whole of humanity. Our current real world dystopia caters to concepts of Old World nobility held by modern billionaires.
This SCP’s whole theme of “fitting” somewhere really reminds me of the Wayward Children series (a series about children who are summoned by worlds in which they fit best), especially the parts about some people just fitting better in other worlds.
Never have I cried for an SCP, but hearing about 173, the original, a sculpture made by a real person in our world, being described as so beautiful, and having such a fulfilling life being seen, and beheld, and enjoyed... I started bawling. What an amazing and special SCP Avalon is.
A man: throws a ball for his dog Me: hmmm all this is sounding way to good to be true... The dog: throws the ball back to the man. Me: Well I guess this would be kinda nice.
When I heard "an italian family whose arguing sounds like the chirping of cicadas", I got concerned. Then I realised that I never considered the possibility that maybe Cousin Johnny all this time just wanted to be respected and heard.
Way to completely ruin the incredibly compelling horror of Imago with a schmaltzy Norman-Rockwell type of line. This is exactly why I tend to prefer the darker fiction.
@@EnvisionerWill Except that line poses the concept that Cousin Johnny was seeking his own family, who must be in the standard reality.. perhaps seeking Johnny and destroying other family reunions. The author dropped an interesting double edged sword with that vague line.

@@MoxyFoxtrot I’m honestly confused here. How does it make sense?

@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 682 is known for being destructive and having a hatred of life while being immortal. This can be interpreted with different meanings and metaphors depending on canon or personal belief. But I believe in this canon that 682 represents humanity. And since humanity had created a utopia that a reluctant dimension hopper had described as "Perfect in every way", you could say that humanity was no longer disgusting.
This is like a lullaby for adults. Peace of a practical and existential variety. A utopia with a clear path. No anxiety. No stress. I needed this.
One's utopia is another one's dystopia.
@zee Star trek universe? Humanity's ever growing desire for knowledge, and probably more
@user-kv8uj1sg1f Just because there are much fewer obligations in the 6001 universe doesn't mean there's no meaning. Your motivation doesn't have to be survival or the elimination of stress, it could be joy. It could be the satisfaction of a job well done. It could be the fuzzy feeling you get from helping another person out. It could be the calmness that comes from building something with your hands. It could be intellectual curiosity.
To say that the stress is the only true motivator is a defeatist idea. Your motivation shouldn't be to minimize suffering, it should be to maximize happiness.
@zee stress is not at all required for motivation and is often a key factor in unmotivating people.
Motivation sans stress is driven by pure human desire and I assure you utopia or dystopia that can never truly be extinguished.

I like how it *could* be implying that we corrupted it somehow. Now it's like "oh, you don't want to look at me? I'll make sure you never look at anything else ever again."
It goes back to that bit about "are we rougher around the edges than them because our world is harsher or is our world harsher because of us?".

Within the narrative, I am sure a butterfly effect is to blame, one of the things Primrose muse.
@@warriorscholar41 we were molded by constant attacks from tigers, lions, from the explosions of volcanoes and earthquakes and asteroids. We evolved as the apex predator to defeat all that could hurt us. We're rougher and tougher than everyone else bc we had to and have to be to survive. So to answer the question, the world was rough, and we evolved to be rougher than it so we could thrive in it.
That's the difference between humanity and the animals, we can thrive in this world, they can just survive. They can't do anything if an asteroids about to hit, we can destroy it and enjoy the meteor shower from our telescopes.
@@oracle8192 Your comment makes me wonder if the author of this SCP was in part inspired by the concept of the Great Filter. In case you are unaware, the Great Filter is what arose from us asking "where is all the other sentient life?" Either we are one of the only few species that have survived some great trial or we have yet to pass said trial and the really intelligent species aren't bothering with us until we prove ourselves.
The actual anomaly, the microscopic portal, is a literal filter that keeps us apart from that world, and it won't be until we evolve past the apex murder machines we had to become, until we can realize that we don't have to be that anymore, that we can cross the filter.

Fun fact: This anomaly was created to be the anthesis of SCP-5000. The writer even admitted that in response to SCP-5000’s premise of the Foundation declaring war on all of humanity, SCP-6001 was written as a way to answer the opposite question, “What if the Foundation declared peace?”

It’s 5031, living it’s best life!
Honestly, the story of 5031 feels like one of the closest stories in the SCP world to this one. It started off incredibly violent, deadly, and dangerous, but that was just because it was scared and stressed. When it was given love and care, it became happy, friendly, and an excellent chef.
Love it when David says the soup was a bit heavy on the garlic too, cool lil reference to 5031s article where it freaks out after it runs out of garlic powder haha

That part hit in the big feels.
I've listened to this video about a dozen times and it's honestly my favorite story so far and I finally know why. The alternate universe never claimed to be a "perfect world" only a "better" one. It still has problems and obstacles it has to overcome, Dr. Primrose even says as much. The significant difference is that the whole world collectively came together to solve those problems for the benefit of everyone. We don't need a perfect world, we need to give everyone a place in the solution in a flawed one.
That's fucking beautiful. I like that, keep that attitude.

I hadn't read that one yet and now I'm crying. I love these kind of SCP entries.
This SCP is simultaneously beautiful and depressing. Its just amazing to hear about an alternate world where humanity pulled itself together to create a future thats better for everyone, including anomalies and other species. And yet, its so sad to see it go away like that, now becoming a goal that even they aren't even sure is possible to reach. It really makes you wonder what the foundation is fighting for and if they really could change the very way they work to better benefit humanity. Honestly this SCP made me tear up with its ending, really well made and poetic
Incidentally I live on the coast of Peru, do you want to know what I see?
I see a polluted sea, I see people living barely at minimum wage in an overpopulated coastal city filled with rubbish and smog, I see incompetents and criminals elected for the government, I see hideous news with death, scams and abuse every day.

It's definitely better in many ways than Peru, but there are a lot of things that are still horrible.
It's fine as a story, but it's a little preachy. The finger wagging and statements that humans are too paranoid and should just trust everyone and every entity. Then we would all live in a perfect utopia. But if the Scarlet King showed up to destroy their universe, they would eat their own words.
I started crying like 5 minutes in and still am 35 minutes in
This one is beautiful. In a universe of despair, avarice, and violence. There needed to be an opposite version, one so beautifully done that it could spawn its own collection of stories.

The best ending in a nutshell
Also the strange absence of a Sarkic Cults and Daevites parallel does give an interesting perspective on what differs
They might of either died out, found a proper way to fit in, or simply didn’t exist at all.
Edit: wanted to mention that I think they probably got folded together into that Red Hand Organization that was mentioned along with the Children of the Scarlet King.
My headcanon is that they were the "rough edges" the peace keepers had to deal with. It's not like you can happily compromise with the slaver bloody expansive empire or the inhuman fleshy monsters that worship disease
I figured that at least some Sarkic groups simply refused to participate in the Copendium's society and continue to exist in their own little corners of the world.
The Proto-Sarkics (who are peaceful but isolationist, even in the regular SCP universe) probably still live in their remote Eastern European villages, far away from the rest of the world.
@@wasserruebenvergilbungsvirus yeah, they're probably like that one village that gives blood and organ donations. They probably also supply food to any entities that rely upon human flesh exclusively for sustenance as a form of alternative to the genuine article. If not either of those, they're likely just chilling on there own, being their isolationist selves. Maybe some weird stuff goes on but nothing compared to the other universes. Heck maybe they helped with some of the advancements in the Avalon Universe.

Sorry This is probably a thing I shouldn’t have responded too, Sorry for Wasting your time or whatever else I probably screwed over.
I'm not going to lie, despite being pure Noblebright with no dark secret or twist ending, 6001 still really manages to add to the Grimdark of the SCP cannon for me, as a glimpse of what could have been, only around long enough to highlight how screwed our reality is before it's snatched away.
Its nobel bright gleam makes our shadows all the darker.
I argue it is more a matter of if circumstances were different. Things like the factory and "bigfoot" are extremely dangerous and hostile for reasons we arent quite sure. Bigfoot to the fairies and the factory was using sacrifices and blood rituals to make anomalies.
It's a horror tale in its own way. The humans in that universe are doomed to atrophy from laziness and turn into WALL-E humans. When a single hostile entity enters their universe, like the Scarlet King, they will be unprepared and be wiped from existence.
Comfort and prosperity are at best temporary pleasures that can not be allowed to remain permanently in any society lest its members become complacent and unable to handle unforeseeable challenges. When the human race ends, it will be because evolution has atrophied our brains from becoming rarely needed.

Which means they have possibly been utilising various anomalies that may, in the long run, cause quite some issues.

Often in a world filled with horrors and darkness, you believe that there truly is no way to keep the world safe. But if one tries hard enough and keeps looking into the light, you may find the means to achieve unity…and peace
Flashing back to Hayao Miyazaki. This is how he'd show the Foundation, I'm sure of it. I also teared up quite a bit at the end. I also loved the reverence with which they treated the statue. The picture the article was based on was actually an art installation. So it's only right that the Statue get pride of place in an art museum. But I loved how so many of the old scps got a new spin, a chance at happiness. I'm curious where Dr. Bright is in all of this, but if Abel isn't violent I doubt Bright's in the pendant. The sapient cephalopods and the telepathic spider were two anomalies I was so happy to see. The dragons were a shoe in, but it seems I'm not the only one who remembers the telepathic spider and scheming ole Levi.
Pretty sure that some of this music is from his film soundtracks
tbh with bright being outed as a paedophile irl I'm glad there's no mention of their literal self-insert character in this story.
I like to believe somewhere, Lord Blackwood is in this universe as a Sea Slug 😎
I cant tell if you like him or not
I just want to see my man Blackwood given back his full body and memory. If ever there would be a worthy and fitted ambassador for our world to theirs, Lord T. T. Blackwood is that person. His respect, wonder, passion, and humility are the greatest of humanity and as long as people like him are around, there's hope yet.
@@XSpamDragonX oh I love him but the Sea Slug thing makes me laugh 😂
That man is so full of soul and exploratory vigour, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a changeling that could transform back and just marvel at the worlds phenoms
@@AJScraps I love that bit of the story. This implies another adventure he had, that resulted in his current predicament, that we can't yet read, because it is still ongoing and he doesn't really have hands to write it down with.
haha and then he busts out the spirited away. bouta cry bro not cool
me too bro, me too
legit was tearing up damn spirited away
Deep down, we all want to live in a better, kinder world

And castle in the sky too 🥲🥲🥲
This article deserved the 6000 spot, honestly. Perfectly written and far more heartbreaking, emotionally affecting than any other SCP piece I can remember.
The "person" being referenced when David says he knows someone who can keep a secret? That has to be his own cat, Primrose.
Would be the only thing that made sense to me.
According to the author, it’s actually referring to *you*, the reader
Its the reader.
I thought the same to be honest
It's YOU! Or Mangg. Or me or us 😊
Now that I understand on why it was called Avalon because it is an ever distant utopia that we all wish to be in but we can never arrive. the base universe that the SCP universe is located is quite grimdark in it's way so I guess the author had the idea of what if it all went right in the base universe and everything has a happy ending and I like it and I can say now that it's one of my favorite.
Good to know
Avalon was the utopia/dream the King Aruthur went to when he died or at least that is what he said.
For me anyways, this one kind of completes the whole SCP universe as a story. It takes it from being a world pretty much doomed by a multitude of ever increasing threats, to one of hope where maybe one day the job will be done, and humanity can just live.
"He assumed it was another cat phrase, but she said he could use it"
Did they seriously just do a cat version of the N-word pass?
This must be what someone meant in a comment recently when they mentioned the SCP foundation starting to get social-justicey. I for one would like to believe that uplifted animals *wouldn't* have the kinds of ridiculous social sensitivity which afflicts humans who have decided they deserve better than they're getting.
@@EnvisionerWill agreed.
@@TillsterRulz what?
@@eyitsaperson Many people who express distaste for changing social norms by painting said change as negative are also harboring deeply toxic ideologies such as racism.
@@LexYeen no, you’re just projecting, and coping for lack of accomplishment
Right up until the very end I was waiting for the bad news about 6001, it wouldn't be a SCP without something going wrong, right? Anyway, in times as hard as they have been, it is nice to hear about a SCP with an optimistic tone.
Something did go wrong. Primrose had to say goodbye to caspian one more time
@@voxpop9 I almost cried at that part. The fact that she was saying goodbye to a friend she already lost and most likely will never see again is a real tear jerker. Especially with the music
@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 ikr! i almost cried too
It's a sad tale, not because of something bad happening there, but because something wonderful isn't happening here.
I hope the last SCP ever added to the wiki is a retread of this one. Personally I would call it SCP Infinity: Unity
dang thats good
that's if there is a final SCP
@@mr.midnight3581 one day there will be a final SCP, whether it be becouse there's no one willing to write more or becouse there's no one left to write or even nowhere left to write, but eventually everything has to come to an end
@@zalanmarkus4939 that's not entirely true I mean we have no idea what happens when everything ends, I mean for all we know the ending is just the start of another longer story in a long line of stories that have been going on and on and who knows where it started to begin with
@@Fallen_Family welcome the pataphysical "big bang." If narrative entropy exists, it's when there's nowhere left to go in a story. When one story ends, but the creativity and curiosity to explore remain than a new world can begin.

Anyone else ever go “man I wish he uploaded” then within the hour he does? Cos this is the third time in a row
THE FOUNDATION WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION
@@EmissaryofWind don't be silly, the foundation already knows their location and has detained them
He uploads on a regular schedule, Monday at 8:00 for me.
This scp makes me both sad and happy, in a weird way, happy that story like this was put to paper in the same group of stories which are always really dark, disturbing or horrifying, it allows it to evoke a much stronger feeling, but i am also sad, that something like this just doesn’t seem possible in reality. I can only hope that one day we can achieve some sense of unity. Thats the kind of response a story like this got from me
It took me 30 minutes, nearly half the video, before I could let myself relax and accept that this was simply a pleasant SCP and to absorb the bliss of peace
I still don't trust it. There's too much likelihood of _something_ powerful gaining from creating a world like this. We've seen similar situations before - "utopia" built to draw in more victims.
@@furiousfinch1587 yeah me too. Because, when it's too good to be true, it's probably just that.
Honestly if if anything like this could happen on earth IRL, they wouldn't name themselves the "compendium" but the "new world order"
ah yes the traumatic response inherent to reading scps a lot and hoping just once for either a positive or at least bittersweet ending rather than "and then everything got worse and people were godawful and misery woe" because apparently most horror writers think all horror must end without any sense of closure or positivity because doing otherwise would be "unrealistic" or "boring"
That "lumpy colossal fellow" with the guitar singing french nursary rhymes is Mr Pierrot (SCP-1810)
I honestly thought that it was Fernand (082).

I thought it was 082, considering 1810 isn't really as "lumpy" as he is skinny.
My professor in college once said that, according to his beliefs, the departed don't suffer in hell because they are burned and tortured. They suffer in hell because upon dying, they got a glimpse of what heaven is like. And that they will forever suffer a great longing of wanting to be in heaven.
I am not a religious person but this SCP reminded me of what my professor said.
This heart warming SCP brought me to tears.
I damn near cried too.
Honestly expected more comments admitting this lol. I couldnt even help myself by the very end - easily my new favorite SCP
I read it a few minutes ago.
I cried.
Not gonna lie, I was waiting for David to get outed as a furry the entire time
*SCP 953 Wants to : Know your location*
Im dead
She's a doctor 🥼🐈🐱
She is an animal not a furry herself
@@EspeonMistress00 Yeah you're right. Beastiality is way better.
I feel the things that david felt. Jealousy and anticipation of the something bad happening, because that's just the SCP foundation. It never happened and I felt myself grow (In the sense of SCPs). I will never look at SCPs in the same way.
I'm very literally crying.
This is so beautiful.

I think Series 7 is going to be the longest series. If you don't believe me, SCP-6090 has overtaken 1730 as the longest article on the site. I don't mind. I just love the long videos, so much.
SCP-6500: oh boy
Lets gooo!!
I really, really needed this today. I'd like to think that after all of that, after everything he'd seen, David would try to work behind the scenes to try to influence our reality to become the one he saw. And maybe, just maybe, he finds a cat one day and names her Primrose after his best friend from another world.
I would immediately get the anecdote out of the bag to the highest people I have contact with (considering David sent the mail to my self-insert), and see if it inspires them as it did to me.
My idea: inspired by David's testimony of SCP-6001 and O5-3's sense of ethics, the O5 Council and EC invite over the Global Occult Coalition and Manna Charitable Foundation to offer peace.
>The Special Containment Procedures Foundation will keep containing anomalies that won't contribute to the world or are dangerous.
>The Global Occult Coalition however, will destroy those if it's possible and won't result in a different threat.
>The Manna Charitable Foundation will normalise helpful anomalies to improve the world. Their first gift from the O5? Access to SCP-006 and 107. They make it rain health across many places, which is a fantastic start.
the true horror is the reflection of ourselves or the SCP universe.
Basically it says: We are the reason why we can't have nice things. If you want utopia, do somethhing for it
Too be fair there has lot people claiming to create utopia. Almost all of them turned into genocidal dictatorship.
@@schneejacques3502 it’s due to the subjectivity of utopia.
Someone who values security over anything might love a surveillance state, which eradicates crime alongside eradicating privacy.
Someone who values freedom might love a true anarchic group, where anyone could do anything with no repercussions outside what another individual might do in return.
It’s an interesting concept. The first ever utopia conceived of is considered pretty dystopian by today’s standards.
@@realdaggerman105 That's why most modern concepts of utopia hinge on concepts of balance, accountability, and decentralized control. The key reason all other forms of utopia end is dystopia, is because they cater solely on the focus of one group of people's idea, rather than the whole of humanity. Our current real world dystopia caters to concepts of Old World nobility held by modern billionaires.
Utopia literally means place that doesn’t exist
i feel that we cant achieve utopia but we can achieve the best life for all life. Utopia would be horrible but great life would not
If there was ever going to be an SCP TV series, this you be an amazingly beautiful episode.
An epilogue to look back at everything before. (The climactic episode could be like 5000 or... keter duty? or one after the other?)

This SCP’s whole theme of “fitting” somewhere really reminds me of the Wayward Children series (a series about children who are summoned by worlds in which they fit best), especially the parts about some people just fitting better in other worlds.
Never have I cried for an SCP, but hearing about 173, the original, a sculpture made by a real person in our world, being described as so beautiful, and having such a fulfilling life being seen, and beheld, and enjoyed... I started bawling. What an amazing and special SCP Avalon is.
"It couldn't JUST be a concrete killing machine..."
there is a tale that his creator tell his creation/statue that order "Move and kill when you are unseen, and froze when they see you"
A man: throws a ball for his dog
Me: hmmm all this is sounding way to good to be true...
The dog: throws the ball back to the man.
Me: Well I guess this would be kinda nice.
Meanwhile, I can't even get mine to drop it so I can throw it again...
What is that SCP involving the computer dog animation? This moment reminded me of that.
@@MrCIA-me3ef I think it's 1739
I loved the studio ghibli iconography and music in the background, a very peaceful and enjoyable SCP adventure. Thank you!
"I just wanted to spend one more day with my best friend"
This. This is what finally broke me T___T
I have the feeling that David's "someone to share with" was this universe's version of Primrose.
"He stops when seen is because he wants to be seen."
I never knew anyone could make me feel humanity towards 183.
LOVE THE LONG ONES
When I heard "an italian family whose arguing sounds like the chirping of cicadas", I got concerned. Then I realised that I never considered the possibility that maybe Cousin Johnny all this time just wanted to be respected and heard.
Way to completely ruin the incredibly compelling horror of Imago with a schmaltzy Norman-Rockwell type of line. This is exactly why I tend to prefer the darker fiction.
@@EnvisionerWill Except that line poses the concept that Cousin Johnny was seeking his own family, who must be in the standard reality.. perhaps seeking Johnny and destroying other family reunions. The author dropped an interesting double edged sword with that vague line.
This was tragedy by contrast. A unique and brutal sense of melancholy. Thanks for this
