Love files like this. The foundation isn’t necessarily “the bad guy” but saying they are morally gray is an understatement.
I love files like these too. Sometimes The Foundation really makes themselves look like they don’t really care about the rest of the world and are just deluded monsters doing what they think is the right thing, in fact sometimes they are the ones who are responsible for the end of the world and the creation of forces that want the world and/or all of humanity dead.
Makes you think that maybe some groups like The Serpent’s Hand are truly right about what’s best for the world.
After SCP-6001 (last SCP video - Avalon) I'd be willing to go so far as to call the foundation the bad guys in this situation. Them taking an anomaly associated with feelings of contentment and turning that around is kinda reminiscent of the nazis taking the sauwastika - a religious symbol - and inverting it (although, upon looking it up that may not be true as the clockwise rotating swastika was present in the early Eurasian religions too).
@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 But in fact I like stories where the ideas of the Foundation are challenged, but this one specifically is... Meh.
The "SCP Foundation is Evil" as a concept fails since in most situations we know they are doing the best for humanity. They may go overboard and have little concern for the lives of D-classes, but it's all done in favour of humanity. And they don't even destroy the stuff they secure, they study and, theoretically, let them go. CHECK: Broken Masquerade. They make a big deal about a supernatural kid being still in SCP control but... Ehy, daily reminder, if the GOC found the kid he was *DEAD*.
The SCP as antagonistic is cool when they are shown with the nuance of a powerful global organizzation at times being at wrong with their hard and serious approach.
It's interesting to see the dark sides of the Foundation, seeing its failures or when other organizzation had better responses.
It's not interesting to see "UUUUH JAILERS BAD. THEY DON'T ALLOW COMMON PEOPLE TO USE MAGIC AND SUMMON CHTULU".
It's not a fucking Marvel/DC comics.
@@Jack93885 yeah I read the initial comment and thought to myself "idk abt that, they're literally guilty of genocide here"
“We balance evils, so that in the whole, and in the long run, evil is minimised.”
Dragons? Papers? Two words that can invoke pain and agony
Read 6001 to erase that agony
@@VinhNguyen-ip7bn nah it just add salt to the wound because theres a way for us to exist peacefully with the anomalies and thus the dragon. Yet, the universe in which the scp foundations exist, the main one, does not take it. Forever now, the dragon paper cheer and happiness would forever be stuck in the past and in what coukd have been
There's been an update to that story and SCP Illustrated has narrated it....fair warning you will need tissues.
Makes me cry every time
I feel like the “anomalies are natural” perspective was largely born from the fact that there are so many SCPs now.
Back when there were only 100-300 scps, they were rare enough to feel like exceptions to reality. Now they are so numerous it feel like they just operate on a higher tier of physics that we currently understand. Like a watch flown around the world several times being a few seconds off to one that never moved might seem like an anomaly to the 1900’s, but now we know its just basic quantum mechanics.
Basic quantum mechanics.
If im not wrong in one of the cannons uranium was classified as an scp untill scientists researched radiation
"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions". This is what people like the False Angel use as a cover. But eventually, leaves fade. And the light exposes the guilty one way or another. May Nature roam free, and let humanity be a passenger.
P.S. Sorry I'm 2 months Late 😅
Actually it's not quantum mechanics it's relativity you're thinking of.
Not to be too asinine but its not quantum mechanics and the principle of relativity go back quite a ways, the first aspects way back in the early 17th Century and "Galilean invariance" was one of Einstein's inspirations during his youth. Between the early 17th Century and Einstein's more encompassing models began to be published at the turn of the 20th Century there was a storm of new mathematics and theories, these began to tie in to each other and all build towards the Standard Model of Physics.
Quantum mechanics was born out of interactions and mathematics that not only refused to fit with everything else but seemed totally counter intuitive, even within their own terms.
One of these days I want to see "Anomalies are unnatural" responded to with "So is air conditioning, what's your point?"
Air conditioning is subject to physics.
@Nicholas West Patreon probably
I think foundations definition of unnatural are whether it subjects to known physics, rather than its man made or not.

Damn, I realise some part of the Foundation is safe if some personell reaches the age of "close to retiring"
Not really retirement age Would probably earlier for some jobs like mtf not to mention even retires could still be targets imagine what would happen if a immortal scp comes for revenge against someone that left the foundation 20 years ago and had there memory wiped
@@jamesfreeman3617 replace scp for aliens and you got the plot of mib2
@hi therealso wiped memories can come back years later imagine suddenly remembering scp 1128 while taking a bath Also I just remembered the perfect example of a Immortal scp finding you scp 3456
Probably has a pretty good retirement package, too.
You get a memory rewrite so you think you worked at a boring government office or pushing papers for generico.inc, a monthly check from a shell company you can live on, and a quiet home in the suburbs. Probably with 3 to 5 hidden cameras, and some low paid guy in intel watching your browser history.
I find this one really interesting. Its another one that begs the classic question. If these Anomalies occurred on their own, then precisely which Normalcy is the Foundation protecting? And how do they define Normalcy if things that occur normally are Anomalies? And by altering the Natural to fit their Normalcy are they not, in fact, making the world more Anomalous than Normal?
Good point, now thinking about this, the SCP universe are surrounded with magic, strange creatures, and reality benders. The true anomalies are us human who dont possess any kind of power
SCP-001 WJS proposal
@Dream Youniverse the problem is that the scp foundation is the powerful minority, they make the rules because they deprive power from anyone else
Yes
You know, they're actually very similar to the Technocracy from Mage: The Ascension: They know that reality doesn't _actually_ have any real rules, and stuff like "science" and "the laws of physics" is pretty much just a bunch of bullshit. But they want everything to be rational and scientific, so they promote a view of reality as "normal" even though it is untrue.

Oh boy, a new SCP article, I sure hope this will be intere-

_Why must you hurt me this way, 6005_
Talk about a big oof for you
everywhere I go I see my mistakes
Why do they always have to mention the poor dragons ahhh!
@Nicholas West probably an early release for those who donate to the channel, I'd absolutely do the same if I could afford it
Both dragon stories and the 6001 'Avalon' story are definitely the saddest I've heard from the SCP universe
The SCP Foundation once again prevents humanity from fully tapping into the power of the Warp, saving it from an unspeakable horror for a few years more.
I mean sure, but the method they used is to create a new Chaos god who kills all the psychers, so they probably actively made things worse.
@@Nukestarmaster If all the psychers get killed by the warp then there is no way for the warp to spread to the world. I see this as a win
@@simethigsomethingidfk Except for the fact that killing the psychers actually spreads the new Chaos god's influence in the world.
@@simethigsomethingidfk ah yes, taking small problems and creating bigger, worse ones to take care of the smaller ones
Maybe the Universe was created by a Chaos God, therefore, everyone is doomed anyway
SO now we have the worst places known to the foundation.
7. The moon
6. antarctica
5. Point nemo
4. North korea
3. Russia
2. Wisconsin
1. Arizona
Well shit gotta move state
What anomaly is in point Nemo
Can confirm. Arizona is full of weird shit
Wisconsin? I mean I know that its weird here but, why?
@@Hiraeth2000 reference to Keter Duty 001 proposal
I have to watch all your videos twice: once to help me sleep, and once to enjoy them. Your narrations help immensely with my insomnia.
Same!! That’s crazy thought I was the only one , haha!
Jesus I thought I was the only one lol. At least twice. I can’t sleep without a thirty minute video on my phone lol
It's not an exploring series video until the comments "I listen to these to sleep" and "wow, omg, so lovecraftian" are made.
Same I listen to fall asleep then again while driving or working!
I feel like the Foundation took a Thaumiel SCP and made it a Euclid one...
Thaumiels aren't about benefiting humanity, they're about containing anomalies. After all, Anantashesha is a Thaumiel, and the only "good" thing is does is supply the Men in Black with their flashy-things.
They took a benevolent Keter SCP and turned it into a malevolent SCP that they think is self-containing but is actually also Keter. Good job boys.
You feel like? Dude that’s just Thursday for the foundation
@@EnvisionerWill even then how was this benefiting humanity
@@apexhunter935 Does the Foundation work to benefit humanity? Or do they work to benefit themselves? Or do they work to achieve "normalcy" as an abstract concept, for its own sake? Nobody short of the 05 council knows for sure what their actual goal is.
It always comes back to the forest when thinking of 'Nature', but nature is not so constrained. It is the River, the Sea, the Mountain, the Desert, and even the Ice. Nature is found in all things. Even in those things that are made of glass and steel. For we are of nature, of life itself, and thus, we are not so base as that. We simply are better at bending the world to our whim, as a rabbit digs a burrow, as an otter builds a dam, as a wolf carves out a hunting ground, as a lion takes his pride, all of these are Nature. Do not ever forget that, and think yourself as apart. You are merely different.
I need to use this in an RPG.
@@ashleg8350 Urban fantasy druid...actually are there any good urban fantasy supplements for 5e? 3.5 had some fantastic ones, but I haven't done the hobby in a while.
@@SageofStars It depends. Ebberon is about as close as you get to a modern setting, without homebrewing it. The whole "airships and railroads" thing is about as far as you get on the whole "modern" feel, most of the rest of it is still pretty medieval.
On that note, there are entries in the DMG of 5e that have items that are pretty blatantly modern, or even futuristic. Laser-swords, and the like.
There's also any number of things on homebrew sites that allow for modern settings, believe me. I've seen them used.
As with all RPG's, reality is _truly_ what you make of it.
"nature" is also found in cold, dead, and barren landscapes.
And we found the shakespear, this isnt me mocking you or anything but GODDAMN you really should write a novel or something. Its really pietic
That notion of trying to define “what is real and what isn’t,” “what is natural and what isn’t,” “what is normal and what isn’t,” is a really good theme to go with. I dig this. It’s creepy in a surreally beautiful way. I dig it.
EDIT: I previously said ‘trying to determine’ instead of ‘trying to define’, since determine definitely sounded a lot more clinical and less profound than the notion of having the power and authority to literally say, “You are not sufficiently natural/real/normal according to our definition, therefore we’re gon’a do some fucking shady shit to you in order to bring you in line.”
I can't help but wonder if this SCP was inspired by the Missing 411 phenomena. A lot of details line up if nothing else. As for the conclusion, I'd like to think that the Ethics Committee realizes they made a mistake in allowing the field to change. Now that the forest is aware of what has been done, perhaps the two sides can find a middle ground now.
That's what I was thinking. Missing 411: the SCP.
Is missing 411 worth looking into? Haven't heard about it until just now.
@@saintallison It's an interesting set of coincidences/similar set of circumstances seen repeated, it's interesting.
Yeah the missing 411 stuff is incredible to look into. Once you start your hooked. Theres def. Something happening to people out in the wilderness. Some vanish some are found dead even 1 was found melted. The wildest cases are of the people they do end up finding alive. The stories they have are so strange and hard to wrap your mind around. I tend to think it's either like the ether itself opens up and swallow these people or it's something hunting people. The cases wiry hunters are the strongest though. These people go in the woods armed with guns and then vanish. Sometimes the guns are found and they didn't fire a single shot......
@@saintallison The author is a conspiracy theorist that twists facts, and believes that bigfoots are kidnapping people.
Look into some of his other work, it really isn't truthful.
Man, this soundtrack goes perfect with the story!

Glad to know literally all of Cascadia's considered an SCP. Nice.
The last time I was this latearly, I still had my Temporal Anomalies Department desk job.
What an underated scp meta joke this is 👏
@hi there Definitely not about something spherical.
This is a great SCP Joke, this reminds me of the time when I first joined the Antimemetics Department.
Cascadia: *laughters*
How did the desk job go
Did this agent just turn into a Serpent's Hand ally or some shit? I mean, the methods for containment were questionable, yes, but this dude legit went on a discourse of how the Foundation can't decide what is anomalous and what isn't. This is one technicality away from the library bois
I like to think there’s a spectrum. The hand were and are still mostly previous SCP employees anyway, and you don’t get radicalised by talking exclusively to radicals (apt from brainwashing), you’ve got to have some middle opinion first, or someone to present you with them.
There is no doubt... they're fixin' to shake with the snake
Good. Just one final push and he’ll be book-pilled…
Well, yeah, they're a good person. They give a shit about right and wrong.
I mean the underlying theme of this one is literally 'what even is normalcy' I don't know why you have to get so butthurt over an honest question?
Dam this one hits close to home, a good friend of mine went missing in grand Teton national park just 2 months ago. Went out by himself and never came back
thats so sad man im sorry
Is it like a missing 411 disappearance or something else?
@@carbide1968 I just came back to this video after a long time but yeah that what happened basically. He went out for a short hike didn't have much equipment but wasn't going far a few people saw him and chatted to him on the trail and then he was never seen again. No body no nothing, just his car at the bottom of the trail. It was very sad and hes actually Irish like myself but has headed over to his dad's family in America and was living over there
SCP Foundation: Look how evil and dumb the GOC is, they tried to destroy this harmless chair!
Also the SCP Foundation:
The GOC shoots and doesn't ask questions.
The SCP Foundation technically asks questions, but they already have an answer beforehand, and that is what determines if they shoot or not.
Yeeeahh I'm not a big fan of files like this that focus on "the morality" of the foundation bc the ultimate answer is there is none, they have a goal and will give anything to achieve it, they aren't good or evil just the most powerful humans in the world. Morality becomes pointless by then
@@nataliealphonse4634 doesn't help that there's no canon, so some writers write the foundation as needlessly cruel, others write them as more sympathetic to anomalies, etc. etc.
I'm actually glad there's no canon so that people aren't held down by someone else's characterization of the foundation, but it does confuse people who think SCP works like the Marvel movies.
It's a crime you haven't been verified yet. Quietly producing some of the best audio content on the platform.

you have no idea how many people who wish idaho wasn't part of the PNW or cascadia just laughed with glee when you said PNW & idaho.
Cascadia encompasses all...
The SCP universe is an SCP all its own. So many anomalies seems to make it the "Norm" rather unique entities.

its kinda funny that the ending kinda proves the point of Gabriel. The forest was capable of killing people and being dangerous, so letting it grow out of control just because it looks innocent would be a mistake. Sure he fucked up his execution of it but still. I dont think anyone wants to live in a world where magic actually exists, so say what you want about the foundation but they are the good guys
i feel like potentially magic would be an equalizer of sorts, depending on how it worked. how could we know it would be a world objectively worse than this one, where power is held via streams of money and blood?
@@captainsawbones I prefer to live in a world where you cant be turned inside out by someone's mind. and for that matter referring to this scp I like my free will and id rather not have that effected by a bunch of hive mind magic users
But it only turned dangerous after the foundation fucked with things. It wouldve never been of they had just left it be.
@@JustPissingAround how do you know that? it easily could have ended in a LK or XK class if the writer wasn't biased
@@simethigsomethingidfk but the writer creates the story. It wouldn’t turn into a K-Class scenario if he didn’t write it with the ability to do so.
The Foundations actions made a neutral/benign entity "take" its molester - Dr. Gabriel - in a kind of attack. As the Foundation finds it impossible to contain many entities; turning a benign entity hostile shows that at least here they made a mistake.
Reminds me of the hitchhiker SCP or the pediatrics room SCP. Or site 13. The ends don't justify the means if the end is worse than the starting place.
Maybe it's because I've been watching videos about the subject but this is really making me think of permaculture and food forests and the contrast between that and large scale industrial farming. There's also ideas of globalisation, colonisation and the like. How a group with power moves in and removes one way of doing things because it doesn't accord with how they think it should be done.
I'm surprised there aren't more comments about the parallels of the vulpin project and residential schools... forget your language and what you're people taught you, embrace that we are the antagonists of nature and exploit it for cash.
This sounds like the pacific north west dream experiment, some weird thing maybe an ARG from a while ago where people would call a number on a poster and talk about their dreams

@@shikikkaneddy It feels as though it was written by someone who read the first four of the series and said 'You know what would be great. Doing something that doesn't align at all with what we have been all about previously.
I'm just pissy because this is the fourth SCP 6000 series video from RUclipsrs that I like that is just a shit story.
@@Noleme What bugs me are the amount of “foundation bad” articles with a sprinkle of themes, but lackluster presentation.
Not every SCP/Tale has to make the foundation evil. And if you wanna use themes, don’t let it take control of everything else in the story.
@@jadennavarrofilms2377 TBH I found 6140 the most interesting of all. AS it wasn't the Foundation's fault, or the Scarlet King's Cult's fault, or the Daevites fault, but some English dude who decided to write a bombastic and fictionalized tale about the Daevites.
A similar-ish real life example would be something like CGPGrey and his TIffany adventure.
Honestly I love this one, interesting & tragic in its own right, while also poking at the morals & purpose of the fondation

All I could think about was the semi truck that's also named Cascadia which makes this SCP ten times more hilarious
Don’t really agree with this interpretation of the foundation, but then again that is sort of the point of the non-canon nature of SCPs. The Foundation decides what is normal because someone has to, and if no one decides then there is no normal. The multiverse is littered with dead worlds and absent realities, all because those places *didn’t* have someone to decide, or decided too late, or decided incorrectly.
It’s be nice if you could flip a coin and one side was “humanity survives and thrives” while the other was “humanity dies and is forgotten”. Fifty percent is such miraculous odds that the Foundation can’t even dream of approaching, because whether or not humanity exists in any form has nothing to do with the universe.
Our existence itself is only at best a strongly held opinion of the participants thereof.
Look, I don’t read SCP articles to examine the nature of power and authoritarianism. Maybe you do, but not me.
It is a much more interesting for SCPs to be about imperfect people using imperfect means and imperfect information to try and grapple with literally universe ending horrors(and just world/city/people ending horrors or entirely benign or neutralized anomalous people/things).
But to each their own, I guess
Moral of the story: Reject modernity, return to monke.
*The Scarlet King Liked your Comment*
ugh, again?
Never
It’s interesting how the ‘Garden’ was more naturally created than the ‘Forest’, though perhaps that is on purpose.
More Tufto skips are always hood. May not fully agree with his 001 (The Scarlet King), but love his expansion of its mythos.
Omg yessss. Just in time. I love listening to these as a bedtime story.
The missing 411 phenomenon is prob one of the closest thing irl that we have to an actual anomaly
M411 is conjecture.
@@АртёмДубравин-ы6у sounds like what a foundation researcher would say.
Missing 411 is exactly what this made me think of.
Ever been stalked in the forest by something large but can't be seen? It's easy to say that there is nothing out there when you aren't the one hearing crunching leaves and twigs getting closer and closer, through underbrush that isn't any more than two feet high. At the time I certainly hoped nothing was out there, but I would have been lying to myself. Could say, maybe it was just a mountain lion, but getting stalked by a mountain lion is about the last thing a hiker wants.
@@sasorispupet the foundation isn't real sir.
As a more serious note, if you overlay M411 cases w/ the missing persons cases you get an almost perfect match for underground cave systems. Do with that correlation as you will.
While I love the SCP itself I do agree that the meta stuff mixed with tales-like format is just getting crazy.
Yet another great consequences of the foundation's actions story.
Honestly I cannot get enough of them.
I would never consider the SCP foundation as "Modern" a lot of their technologies and structures are futuristic...
I feel like this is directly connected to the indigenous "forest gardens" in the Pacific northwest. The native Salish nations people cultivated their environment in a way that enhanced both it and their ability to live with it. The gardens were mostly destroyed when the region was colonized by Europeans, and the process of the foundation turning the garden into something evil in the minds of the people represents the colonialist "terra nullis" myth, that the lands we live on were completely vacant and undeveloped prior to European colonization. Much of the modern (white) environmentalist movement is based on this myth, advocating a return to an unspoiled wilderness that never actually existed. This is one of the most beautiful SCP's to me for how well it gets this messaging across.
Hawley I looked in the files for 1015. Nothing. The entire records were wiped clean.
Gabriel: Wh-what? You mean they were redacted?
Hawley No, expunged. Nothing there at all. Entries, but no files.
There is silence for several seconds.
Gabriel: Nobody at Site 64 would do that. It goes against every protocol.
Hawley So? You're what, fifty? Sixty? You must remember what this place used to be like. Even by the time I joined, it was still the same. Someone fucks up, spills an anomaly out into the world, and the records get canned. It's how the game gets played.
Gabriel: Oh, come on. Something that large? We'd have noticed by now.
Hawley Maybe it wasn't large. Maybe it was small. A few kids have bad dreams - what did it matter? Nobody would notice, and if they did, nobody would suspect a long-retired director. I wasn't really interested in that. It was a lead, that was what mattered.
Gabriel: Christ, man, do you care about anyone other than yourself?
Hawley Easy, doc. I get up in the morning and smell the coffee and shuffle into work. We all do. It's what the world is. Grey office blocks and cleaning chemicals.
Anyway. I went back to the kid. This was before we let him out again. I went back and thought I'd try to poke a sleeping bear.

There's so much intriguing fun SCPs like from the top of my head: 051, 004, 406, 236, 2049, 3027, in no specific order and like hundreds more, but you, the best scp narrator on youtube, constantly have to go with the reflexive, boring, post-modern, meta dribble with twists seen from a mile away. There are normal authors who create intriguing sci-fi premises on the scp wiki, not just wanna be Artists.
Then what if there are more intriguing scp-s. He probably enjoys these meta type of scp-s and thats why he makes videos about them.
Is anyone else horrified by the idea of having a loved one vanish mysteriously, and then a government agent shows up and *erases your memory that they ever existed*? Sure, it means you don't mourn because you don't remember losing anything, maybe it's pretty nice overall for the family, but it's a damned Orwellian thing to do to the victim. Damnatio Memoriae at least waits until after you're dead; someone who just wandered off into the woods could conceivably come home one day to learn that there's no record of their life left. The more I think about this, the more effed up it gets.
@Scaucy man 2.0 "hey so your gf died of drowning looking at dead bodies, sorry"
@Scaucy man 2.0 No of course not, all you'd have to do is tell them that the Forest Service has already searched for the person and found no trace. That way they could believe the person might still be alive, but accept them as lost without a trace, and move on with their lives, and still have their memories of that person.
@Scaucy man 2.0 I believe that the Foundation could manage to prevent such a thing through purely non-anomalous means. They have agents embedded in every government branch, they could keep a lid on a thing like this no problem.
@Scaucy man 2.0 We are talking about the Foundation here, you do realize that....
God i love this guy's voice.
Same here.
Hey good to see you back! A week without exploring the scp foundation is a week lost!
TY, keep the great work!
Well, this is incredibly amusing. Just a week ago I was wondering about the same concept: How can Foundation decide what is anomalous and what isn't?
According to a 001 proposal, Normalcy, the Foundation determines if something is anomalous based on whether or not it can be explained using current scientific knowledge.
@@nightigal We know that much, as indicated by 'Explained' SCPs, where they thought they were anomalous, but weren't.
something something Scranton Reality Anchors.
@@xXx_Regulus_xXx That ain't gonna do shit to some creatures like our dear boi 173. Reality Anchors only suppress Reality Bender powers.
@@silver1340 the question was how does the foundation _decide_ what's real, not how do we kill 173.
Bless the forty minute video, I need this I'm functioning on four hours of sleep
Legend has it that Exploring Series subscribers are still waiting for SCP-001 "When Day Breaks"
Power can be a corruptive force. It can manipulate and delude those to commit acts for their own ideals that they believe is right and destroy or corrupt other forces that could bring something beautiful into the world…even when one of those forces is driven by nature itself
Ah yes my Sunday night - Monday morning ritual of staying up late/early to enjoy my weekly dose of T.E.S. and further decrease my sleep
Also I love how they reuse names in various scp tales, in this one it's the last name "Ivanov". Only time I recall hearing it is "The Ouroborous Cycle" as that was Adam's last name. Great story none the less and I can't wait for next week's dose lol
This was written by someone with a coastal perspective of the northwest. It's pretty limiting and stereotypical. The northwest isn't just the forest.
It's a stairway to heaven reference! People dissapearing into the forest at the call of some unknown entity, and Holly claiming at the start that words can be decieving? It's gotta be
They amnestitize they families? Since this seems based off of Missing 411, they are doing a really bad job.
I wrote a half true creepy pasta on my own experience of the same phenomenon.
While a well written tale, this entire SCP just felt lacking somehow. I can't put my finger on why and it's really bugging me
Agreed. It feels more like a tale than an SCP
The writer shits way to hard on the SCP-Foundation without explaining the SCP enough, which makes it hard to make an informed desicion on the Problem. Thats why for me at least it feels like the writer pushes their opinion on me. I guess there is to much saying and not enough showing.
I personally felt it lacked its typical sense of, horror and dread. It was more based on what it is, then why I think. There was a garden people dreamed of, because of a network of dreams or neural energy? and the foundation didn’t like this thing that could be good for humanity so they made it worse.
They usually contain “bad” things because they will hurt people, but this one was contained because of the wonder it could bring, and of course, it could’ve brought about a broken masquerade scenario. but other then that it’s just, why?
@@merlinmarten162 im seeing a lot of these “shitting on the SCP Foundation” articles and at this point, that idea is boring, repetitive, and preachy.
@@jadennavarrofilms2377 scp has been infected by People who don't care for the material. Like any franchise of late.
Sense scp lack Continuity, a strong gatekeeping element, and the slow out numbering of OG fans. you start have this "fan"fiction subversion
So, long story short- a bunch of people started making a beautiful thing, that wasn't exactly harming anyone and then Foundation swooped in and emotionaly and psychologically traumatized them all through what ammounts to psychological torture in an attempt to "protect" their vague description of normalcy
Addendum: the ending at large is uncertain.
But one thing is- a certain bad angel got what he deserved, a forest never forgets past grudges even if it grows over them
me at 7:09 - A gun being held by a middle aged man that got caught in tree branches that a beetle was on, wait a minute, ALL OF THESE DREAMS CONNECT TO EACH OTHER DIRECTLY BY SOME MEANS!
I really needed this thank you.
It is 2 am in the morning, the only reason I am up is for your uploads.
where do you live cause it's 2 pm in here

>they’ll probably ship him off to Arizona
Poor guy, wouldn’t wish that upon the worst of the worst
Depends on where they send him. Arizona's nature can be just as beautiful as the PNW.
I really enjoyed this story, and living in the Cascadia bioregion myself really adds to it
You should make more killer videos please they were the best narrative assessment I've heard of any unidentified serial killers
Shout out from Idaho. Still have not anomalously walked into the woods! 😂
Him: The people who disappeared had high rates of mental health issues
Me: hehe I'm in danger
Mr ManggMangg, I require more kaktusverse content
I love that you’re covering more peaceful SCPs lately, more uplifting ones, I hope you’re doing well man, I hope this is a representation of your emotional state, not a push against it.
This isn't peaceful, the entry literally ends with the implications that gabriel is being tortured by sentient trees
I’m always happy to see new context! It makes my days go by so much better.
This whole "Anomalous Disappearances in Cascadia" thing sounding like part of a "-1000 Resurgence event" canon to anyone else?
Exploring Series at 3 am on Monday..? Yes Please
As someone who lives in the Cascadia region, I love this SCP!
I LOVE the results of the 6000 contest.
Gaslight, Gatekeep, Gabriel
Ah, so the Foundation *is* aware of the Missing 411 disappearances...
This whole SCP 6000 series is weird so far. Well, weirder than normal.
*sees title of SCP*
... Please tell me this doesn't end with a duel between a so-called Monarch, a Crimson 1, and an earth-shattering event know as Calamity?
Edit: None. Project Wingman never happens. Not sure how I think of this.
Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who thought the exact same thing.
We will burry this so completely, the earth will spin a thousand times before this video is dug up.
We're a slave to history afterall.

@@kirin1022 We, solely, are responsible for this.
Weird, I was just talking to a friend about moving to Cascadia
Pretty thumbnail on this one!
You're cool for supporting the channel... And if we met in a dark alleyway... I would rob you
GG
I agree. An ancient and decrepit looking garden really fits with the topic and theme of this video
This SCP has a special place in my heart, being that I'm from Washington State, and one time, me and my brother carpooled with a couple friends to a lake area, heavily secluded, but also a huge place for many people to hang out. Me and my brother, being avid hikers, decided to hike across the woods, and thought that the trails were pretty short. We were lost for almost five hours, wandering through the woods ceaselessly, no supplies, I was missing a shirt, and we just hiked.... And hiked and hiked. Lol hits home when you live in an area that revolves around the woods.
This is the only channel in which I eagerly await uploads and you never disappoint me. Thank you good sir.
"Conspiratorial Nonsense"? guys, you ARE the Conspiracy
Remember that while the foundation may make mistakes, may cause wide-spread suffering, and does seem to take away the fun and lock it away from everyone else, do remember that they live in a nightmare multiverse full of horror and their enemies include unimaginably evil gods that want to cause infinite suffering to everything in existence for eternity.
They're a moral shade of grey, maybe a pretty dark one, but they're purposely choosing that so that white can exist at all.
I’d recognize Claire de Lune anywhere. A perfect solemn touch, TES. Thanks for reading this to me.
Not going to lie I don't think I've actually listened to all of this SCP, I tend to put on your channel when I'm going to sleep and I never seem to make it all the way through this one
