I recommend the SCP short films, specifically SCP: Overlord, SCP: Dollhouse, and 096. They are just about the highest production value SCP content we have.
Yeaaaah! Overlord is a PERFECT representation of "show don't tell" by it showing you the pov of scp task force soldiers investigating an anomaly. They have no idea wtf they are about to witness and that is the cool thing about it! And afterwards you really feel like wanting to find out what scp it is and read about it to understand what happened
It just now occurred to me: maybe the SCP 3008-2 instance followed the dude out of the IKEA was because he was carrying the IKEA notebook… because presumably he hadn’t paid for it, and it interpreted that as shoplifting. Dude very well might have died BECAUSE he had took the time to write it all down. Just a theory, who knows. It adds a nice bit of dramatic irony to the story if it’s true, though.
I swear I've read this comment somewhere before. Have you left this on the original or another video somewhere? My deja vu is really going off. But then again, maybe I'm just going crazy.
Considering after so many months in Ikea, all of his clothes would already be Ikea stuff (do they sell clothes?) Or repaired with Ikea materials, or wearing an accessory from the store, he was probably screwed either way.
makes you wonder too, writer is good, doesnt waste words, were they explaining settlements sometimes fall with that one other one? or were they setting something up. the other settlement that fell was twice as big as the protags one, clearly something abnormal happened. could be more "accidental" inclusions of employee heads happen than initially thought. protags settlement stood for years it seems, but falls a few months after refugees from a fallen settlement come. could be one of them self sabotaged. could be a person or persons sagotaging, and they followed the refugees? trade seems open, just anyone could trade supplies, whos to say everyone who trades is stuck in the ikea, maybe a group of interest has an agenda? enough is answered and enough is left ambiguous, very well written

Just to be clear Volgun voices both the researcher and the trapped man. He does sometimes invite voice actors, but a big part if not most of his videos are voiced entirely by him. He also has ties to the SCP community way back, voicing 049 in a now iconic SCP Containment Breach.
Yeah, the Volgun's voice for SCP-049 is famous, iconic. Ever have a shot of Patron Tequila from 20 years ago? Smooth as butter, even if it burns as it goes down? That's the Volgun 049 voice.
Just occurred to me this time hearing this story again. The foundation notes the drone the writer sees is their first successful drone into the IKEA and has no idea where the other reported drones the civilians had claimed to had seen in the past had come from. Those were the SCP foundations from the other dimensions lmao.
Earlier on, the SCP Foundation mentioned that some of those who manage to escape have to be given new identities. Perhaps this is due to them being from a different reality. So even if you manage to escape, you aren't going to be returning to your original reality...
@@Aevum13th well, to be precise it says "given Cover Stories", which COULD just mean a reason to explain why they were gone for so long, so maybe you do still always end up in your original dimension when you leave. Or maybe not, I like the ambiguity.
Infinite IKEA sounds like a complete joke on the surface, but like a lot of other SCPs, it’s absolutely horrifying once you look further into it and start taking the ridiculous situation seriously. It is probably my favorite, as it embodies what SCP is all about the most to me.
The Infinite Ikea is one of the best SCPs to start with because it perfectly shows the weird, unexplainable parts that makes SCP so interesting. While placing it in a setting a lot of people have experienced and explaining just enough to make that interest grow. And of course, The Volgun does an amazing with his readings.
@@sarafontanini7051 The Facility is great. I like going through the Scarlet King ones because there are so many questions and answers that they lead to and all of them are terrifying. XD
I do think that Infinite Ikea is a great one to start with, especially since it focuses a lot on the logs and does a good job of balancing explaining the threat while also leaving room for further questions, but I still think that 173 should pretty much always be the first for any new fans. It's not very complicated and still gives the cold feel of the Foundation that lets a reader know what to expect when reading an article.
I’ve always found it kinda funny how SCPs can range from a cute orange slime that likes to give hugs to a horrifying nightmare creature that’ll hunt you endlessly
Or a coca cola bottle that self-refills and anyone drinking from it micro-shifts to a near-identical alternate reality. Like perhaps the world they shifted to does not have Big Oil, they have Relatively Large Oil. :P Or ya know, Mandela died at a certain date or it was the Bearenstein Bears rather than Bearenstain Bears.@@theghosttm8245
On the whole 'apocalypse drama conflict' thing, I've heard that in actual real life disasters your common person is actually pretty good about working together and helping each other. Actual problems more often crop up from people at the top, who when things are falling apart are desperately trying to maintain their previous level of power and resources at the cost of everyone else. I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than that, but nice to see something to that effect in this SCP.
If you want a meaty one with lots of variety, I love "the reluctant dimension hopper." If you want a more wholesome one, "the tickle monster." And for one that made me kinda sad, I suggest "remains of a chair."
SCP-999 is a good boi (I recommend the animation of the same name, it's really cute and the music playing in the background, Buttercup by Jack Stauber, makes it even better.)
Who knew the most wholesome boy would be born from an Evil Reality-Warping God who wants to destroy civilization and the ritualistic impregnation of one of several women who birthed monstrous anomalies before our little candy devouring play-doh baby
you talked about remembering all those creepy pasta writers back in the day xD well SCP is where they all went , they grew up a little and started writing horror , i suppose the better way to describe it would be terror :')
Fair note going further: If you bring up any of the newer scp entries, they may follow an updated classification format. It keeps the old single classification under its original concept as "how easy is it to contain" but adds some new categories. Volgun has a video on it from 2 years ago when it was being tested out. Also, SCP-5167 may seem like a joke at first due to it being an among us entry, but it's genuinely great.
I highly recommend "There was a crooked man". If you like very detailed and descriptive narration, and a story you can easily visualise, this one is super high on the list. It is one of my fav videos, and I promise it will have you hooked right in till the very end. It is incredibly unique and well thought out, and one of the most memorable because of how well it is described. Thanks for diving into the world of SCP's, I am LOVING your reactions so far
I love how immersive this one is! It’s one of my favorites for beginners to check out because it immediately gives you a feeling of how vast the scp universe really is! I’m sure everyone’s going hit you with the really popular recommendations off the bat, so I’ll put some deeper cuts that show other sides of SCP. 1762 because I want you to be sad 2521 because of its incredibly unique nature 4999 because wholesome
I highly recommend Wendigoon’s video, SCP Iceberg, it’s an amazing video that delves deep into the scp universe without being too complex. Wendigoon has other amazing videos on other dark and disturbing topics, real and fiction.
This is probably just cause I'm new to twitch, but it feels a little notable to recognize someone in the comment section from the twitch chat of a stream I watched.
Personally, my favorite SCPs are the ones that create weird, interdimensional shit, i love reading the test logs for those. There's the interdimensional vending machine, the interdimensional coffee maker, the thing that upgrades and breaks down stuff to their base components, the infinite pizza box, the green goo... those are always fun.
As an avid SCP reader, I'd recommend these "story-focused" SCPs to Alicia: "Documents recovered from the Mariannas Trench"(Not a SCP file, but a SCP tale) SCP-1730 - What Happened To Site 13 SCP: Overlord (Again, not a SCP but is actually a fan film!)
Few more from Vulgun to look out for, kind of ones I would consider more than the creepy/horror standard that SCP tends to have. Won’t say more than the number and the title to avoid spoilers. List is probably too long, pick your favorite title if you need to. Hope this helps out. 4999 - Someone to Watch Over Us 999 - The Tickle Monster 500 - Panacea 3209 - Boredom Butterfly 738 - The Devil’s Deal 7034 - Aerials 3663 - The Tunnel Monster 846 - Robo-Dude 4459 - The Ringmaster’s Crown 3471 - Paint Under the Bridge
One other thing to add to the hopelessness of being in there: if this IKEA is taking people from different universes, then even if someone does find the exit, the chances of them getting back home is still pretty much zero.
I'm super happy to see you enjoying a fandom that I love so much! There's SO many more interesting SCP's and short films out there to see, so I hope you check out more! I also wanted to mention that nearly every voice in these videos by this guy (TheVolgun) are all done by him, so dude is a super talented VA.
Volgun's 2 videos on 2316 First one was "Field Trip" the second which was more of a story is "Not Fade Away" both I would highly recommend they're amazing.
I know you probably have a veritable mountain of suggestions already, but I’d really recommend The Exploring Series 2 videos on Beneficial SCP’s, some really heartwarming stuff in there to balance out all the grimdark. One of my personal favorites is not necessarily an SCP, but a widely accepted theory “SCP-231-7 is a bedtime story”. Really appreciate all the content Alicia!
You talking about how awesome the redactions are is so wholesome, but reminds me of one story where The Vulgun breaks character right at the end and goes on a brief rant about how overly censored the document was to the point of there being no information (i dont remember which document this was done in)
Hey Alicia! Loving the SCP content, it was already super interesting but having you there to say things I'd never think of, with chat to bounce off of, makes it even better. I'm not sure what kind of videos there are on youtube about it, but I get the very distinct suspicion you'd REALLY like SCP 5031. Hope today's treating you well, and looking forward to catching the stream later!
SCP-4666 is a personal favorite of mine, the volgon has a great video on it. In my opinion 4666 is one of the most horrifyingly evil SCPs is the verse and its a good example of how fucked these things can get.
30:00 It's the Multiverse. This glitched-out platonic ideal Ikea isn't just hooked up to every Ikea in the universe of the SCP foundation, it's connected to _every Ikea across the multiverse._ The Foundation just plugged _their_ hole in a very big warren. That's how people keep wandering in. The SCP universe's natives don't disappear anymore, but people from other universes still do.
I always theorized that he was able to find the exit because he specifically wasnt looking for it for the first time. My assumption was that the group was attacked and he was leading one of them away from the group. And because he wasnt planning on escaping the exit finaly materialized. Its like the other sightings of the exit, those people that saw it probably werent thinging about exiting at that time, only looking for supplies or something else. But when they saw the exit they desired it again and the store moved it away from them again. It only lets you leave when you are content with staying there forever
Well, some SCPs that are good to start with are some of the originals. SCP-173 and SCP-682 are two of the oldest and most famous of all. Sure they are a bit dated, and nobody writes new SCPs like them anymore, but they embody what the Fondation was all about when it came around. After that, maybe check out the thousand ones, like SCP-1000, 2000, 3000 and so on. Big, important-to-note ones that have quite a bit of story and creativity to them.
I’d wait on 682, as it might give her the idea that destroying objects at all costs is a common practice. 100% do it eventually, but I’d wait a bit. Maybe it can be her 5th SCP or so instead of 3rd.
Starting with the scp's in the thousands is probably not a good idea, specially because of SCP 5000 and others which are very story and lore heavy, and are appreciated much much more after you have seen hundreds of other SCP's at least, the only one of those which in the moment I would recommend is SCP-1000.
@josuedanielsandi710 actually 5000 might be perfect for that, because they use or mention a lot of popular SCPs in that. Might not be the best in video format, but for newbies, you could use it like a catalog to check out certain ones that really resonate with the fandom. There were some in there that I'd never even heard of, like the Yule Man.
@@josefsieffen18 I disagree. Most of it hinges on you understanding the universe as a whole (SCPs, GOIs, etc). Bad for a newbie. If we need a catalog, we don’t need her to listen to a whole thing she’ll only kind of understand. We can just list it. Plus, SCP 5000 basically spoils what all of them are anyway.
Love that you're doing SCP content, The Volgun is an amazing channel for SCP stuff too. My only issue with choosing SCP 3008 is that it's so well written I worry it will set the bar too high. You could try some classic SCPs like 173, the original, or monsters like 049, 096, 106 or 682. My personal favorite is the first I ever read; 087, which is great from a horror perspective. Or you could try 3001 for a true psychological horror show.
In my opinion SCP 3008 is one of the best written from a narrative standpoint. As for recommendations, two really under rated ones are Joe Schmoe and the inter dimensional strip club.
the infinite ikea is one of the best SCPs, that's why everyone recommends it. its one of the entries that embodies the vibe of SCP and everyone who knows what they're doing tries to match that style and feeling with their submissions.
I love when Alicia questions stuff like "Where are you gonna put the dead bodies?" or "where are you gonna go to the bathroom?" and my ass just thinks "Infinite Ikea, infinite space = Shit in a corner and walk an infinite amount of steps away from the smell : D"
I think “hard to destroy reptile” it’s a bad idea for right now because it might give her the wrong idea that the foundation wants to kill SCP’s instead of containing them
Thevolgun's videos are so good! If I can recommend any of his videos, it would be scp-5031, "Another murder monster". It's really wholesome (despite it's name).
gotta recommend the some of SCP-001 proposals, the ones I recommend are "The Gate Guardian", "The Factory", and "The World's Gone Beautiful". SCP-001 is held as a multitude of different possible SCP's in order to mask the true SCP-001 but which one it is has never been declassified so its up to your personal judgement on what you believe it is.
Volgun just goes through the entry but he does a fantastic job and it gives you the whole thing. While other channels tell a bit more of a story they sometimes skip things or invent stuff to make their intended narative work or their structure doesn't convey the mystery/fear the same way. They still do a good job but Volgun gives you the same experience as if you read it yourself except voice acted.
One of the less horror themed SCP articles I've been fond is was, what was the number, I think it was 4999? Let me check... Yeah, yeah, I remembered correctly. It's a bit sad but very heartwarming. I loved that one. No idea if anyone's done a reading of it yet or not.
I HIGHLY recommend SCP: Overlord. It's a 30 min "Fan film" (I say fan film because this shit looks FUCKING AMAZING. Like where did they get the budget for this???) and it's basically about some scp task force/ soldiers from the scp foundation going to investigate an unknown anomaly in a cabin. You basically get to see the pov of what the soldiers who's job it is to contain these things and it is SO COOL!
Volgun is one of the best when it somes to reading SCP entries. You should see the one about the bag of infinite potatoes xD Exploring SCP is a little different in that it summarises several SCP entries at once to help you get a larger picture of common story elements, so it could also be worth a watch
SCP 3008 is like a Twisted version of Minecraft: > Small towns all over > Entire communities coexisting > Nightly assaults by the enraged, monstrous 3008-1 instances
Wow... I forgot just how AMAZING the writing was on SCP 3008 specifically. Such a classic to start on, but man are there MANY more stories arguably even better than this one you should react to.
Theory: SCP 3008 is actually not infinite, but instead it's just a normal Ikea but everyone who enters it is given Zoro's navigation skills and gets perpetually lost.
I love The Volgun's content. He's very good at narrating. My favorite SCP that he's covered is the Reluctant Dimension Hopper. Also if you've ever watched one of his lives or listen to his special messages that are sometimes at the end, you'll notice that he's actually Scottish. He's very good at changing his accent
If you liked the creepy factor of this scp I would highly recommend spc-2316. Volgun's videos on this scp are great ("field trip" and "not fade away").
4:35 totally get it, I realized it myself when I flipped through shorts and there was one of a sink and I thought to myself, “that’s an awesome sink” and I immediately my inner child die
honestly i kinda want you to check out the wholesome scps but maybe have them as more palate cleansers. two that i recommend are 999 and 2295, the tickle monster and the bear with a heart of patchwork. the wholesome duo.
one of my favorite scps is "Where the Dragons Went" It's not really as strange or scary, but it's definitely one of the best stories on the site, im pretty sure the Volgun covered it too.
Suggestions: "What Happened to Site-13?" "When Day Breaks." Both are series and would end up taking multiple videos likely but they are very good. One is post apocalyptic the other is a weird irregular space like Ikea expect a lot less inhabitle--- "Emerson Happened To Site-13. Have We Become Blasphemous? BLEED." Eh. I don't know what that was... just ignore it. Probably won't be important at all
the site-13 is TOO fucking advanced for a newbie to react to lmfao, there are TOO many scps she has to react to beforehand to get the full scope of the site 13 shitstorm
@@СергейДементьев-ы9р yeah exactly, both of those are way too complicated and harken back to wait way too much other stuff for her to check them out this early, but I definitely want to see her cover them much later!
I really wanna see alicia react to scp illustrated "when day breaks" series after she's watched some of the relevant scp's to it as it's my favourite scp series
One down from my list but I'm sure you'll jump on another instead 096: Probably the second most famous, but also probably exceeding 173 because of the awesome short film based on him. Amazing watch. 173: Probably the most famous SCPs, and the originator of the blinking mechanic in the games. 179: A really good Thamiel class and one of my favorites from how enigmatic she is but still a benevolent force that is looking out for the Earth, not just humanity. 999: Just a great Safe class that will bleach you from the rest of these. 2173: Another great Thamiel class that is seemingly silly, but also a lens on the hubris of the Foundation, while also show casting the good they could do if they stopped pussyfooting about ethics. Also you should read up on the Gate Guardian proposal of 001 before this one for some much needed context. -3008: The Infinite Ikea, a strange and seemingly silly SCP that is actually haunting.- 3041: A knife . . . that shows that just because something is classified as safe doesn't mean it is. 4043: A rare example of the Archon class. It is also a great example of an SCP that breaks the conventions in a brilliant way to tell a tragic but hopeful story. 4051: A frustrating story about why the neutrality of the Foundation does way more harm than good. Even with a perfectly willing to help and, frankly, overpowered SCP just flops into their lap and they still fuck it up. 7034: A terrifying SCP that's told mainly through the perspective of one Foundation scientist.
I recommend reading the first entries to every series(so SCP-001, SCP-1000, SCP-2000, SCP-3000, SCP-4000, and SCP-5000) because they have the most work put into them and they are all by far the best concepts. Others include: SCP-035 - Possessive Mask SCP-049 - Plague Doctor SCP-053 - Young Girl SCP-055 - [unknown] SCP-073 - Cain SCP-076 - Able SCP-079 - Old AI SCP-096 - Shy Guy SCP-106 - Old Man SCP-122 - No More Monsters SCP-162 - Ball of Sharp SCP-173 - The Sculpture SCP-245 - SCP RPG SCP-343 - God SCP-354 - The Red Pool SCP-434 - A meeting with myself SCP-458 - The Never-Ending Pizza Box SCP-496 - Many Winged Angel SCP-579 - [DATA EXPUNGED] SCP-682 - Hard-To-Destroy Reptile
@@MoreLoreThenThereSeems Nahhh, to be fair I didn't notice at the time that all of those SCP'S were from the first series, just that most of them would work for her to watch right now, but not just those ones, I agree she needs many more of the more recent and middle ones.
About the shower thing, it isn't difficult to make your own shower. You just need a vessel to contain water and a way to release the water over time. Raise the container up high and open it up and you have a shower. This is how we did it at scouting summer camp They have all the wood they can want and the video did mention that they gathered water.
Here on RUclips, there are SCP short films like Doll House, Overlord, and SCP-096. There *was* a web series named SCP Confinement and there’s only reuploads of the 7 episodes (6 and 7 are two parters of the Infinite IKEA!!). The creator deleted his channel and episodes for- reasons- but they’re still a fun watch
I know there are plenty of recommendations on what to look into next, but I recommend "when day breaks". Also any of the classics: unkillable lizard, shy guy, and the statue (or community meme peanut).
Might I recommend *The Stars Do Not Wait For You,* by either *TheVolgun* (for a higher quality VA) or *The Exploring Series* (for some background on the SCP). It's one of my favourite tales on the site, up there with *There Is No Anitmemetic Division,* though the latter would take several hours longer that The Stars.
Yeah the Ikea is I believe one of the most deceiving named ones, it make it sound like a joke to many you aren't the only one Alicia 😆 it was a great video as always and hoping we have more reaction to SCP stuff, The Rubber is also another good one I recommend it for short videos could do different videos and parts with him, also love how much she got into it, keep suggesting this stuff chat, you are doing amazing, thanks for the video Alicia

Imagine the sheer dread and terror you would feel if you took a few steps into the building, saw that gross mutilated creature, and you turn around to run out but the exit isn’t there anymore. Then the lights shut off and you hear in a distant distorted voice behind you: “the store is closed. Exit the building immediately” and you turn around to barely see in the dark, a 9ft faceless humanoid with grossly long arms sprinting at you in the distance like a rabid dog chasing a squirrel, knocking over shelves and lamp stands as it travels toward you at full speed, it being MUCH faster than you and you have no where to go since the exit is probably thousands of miles in any direction, just you hopeless and alone with meatballs and employees trying to rip you limb from limb
Yea scps are really intense and intricate when ever you feel like you need a multipart series check out Scp-6500 by the exploring series he summarizes a single Scp. It is an 8 and half hour video I listened to it while at work it's the most crazy thing ever involving multiple GOI or Groups of interest sites and locations and of course SCPs. But i know thats a bit much for now so a shorter one is thevolgun Scp-3456 great Voice acting just like this video.

What I love about SCP, even one that sounds like a bad joke can be horrifying when you look deeper into it
On the whole 'apocalypse drama conflict' thing, I've heard that in actual real life disasters your common person is actually pretty good about working together and helping each other. Actual problems more often crop up from people at the top, who when things are falling apart are desperately trying to maintain their previous level of power and resources at the cost of everyone else. I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than that, but nice to see something to that effect in this SCP.
If you want a meaty one with lots of variety, I love "the reluctant dimension hopper."
If you want a more wholesome one, "the tickle monster."
And for one that made me kinda sad, I suggest "remains of a chair."
Every video I'm gonna suggest 1762.
the chair did nothing wrong
SCP-999 is a good boi
(I recommend the animation of the same name, it's really cute and the music playing in the background, Buttercup by Jack Stauber, makes it even better.)
Who knew the most wholesome boy would be born from an Evil Reality-Warping God who wants to destroy civilization and the ritualistic impregnation of one of several women who birthed monstrous anomalies before our little candy devouring play-doh baby
Ronald Regan tapes and Builder Bear are some good SCP's to look into
I agree. Though, as a note, it’s Builder Bear. Not build a bear. Build a bear is the company.
Builder bear is a really screwed up one to start her off with, and I approve!
I'm a huge fan of Living Lego, always good for a chuckle
Also I should note a youtuber named Billy Styler has done some good SCP and horror related videos
I'd recommend Here Be Dragons as happiness is overrated
you talked about remembering all those creepy pasta writers back in the day xD well SCP is where they all went , they grew up a little and started writing horror , i suppose the better way to describe it would be terror :')
Fair note going further: If you bring up any of the newer scp entries, they may follow an updated classification format. It keeps the old single classification under its original concept as "how easy is it to contain" but adds some new categories. Volgun has a video on it from 2 years ago when it was being tested out.
Also, SCP-5167 may seem like a joke at first due to it being an among us entry, but it's genuinely great.
I highly recommend "There was a crooked man". If you like very detailed and descriptive narration, and a story you can easily visualise, this one is super high on the list. It is one of my fav videos, and I promise it will have you hooked right in till the very end. It is incredibly unique and well thought out, and one of the most memorable because of how well it is described. Thanks for diving into the world of SCP's, I am LOVING your reactions so far
thank you, people need to start off with weirder and more recent scps, instead of the basic 7 at first
Though fair warning, "There was a Crooked man" is a lot heavier on the horror theme then The Infinite Ikea
I love how immersive this one is! It’s one of my favorites for beginners to check out because it immediately gives you a feeling of how vast the scp universe really is!
I’m sure everyone’s going hit you with the really popular recommendations off the bat, so I’ll put some deeper cuts that show other sides of SCP.
1762 because I want you to be sad
2521 because of its incredibly unique nature
4999 because wholesome
SCP-2501 is a fun object that’s a claw that can crush anything. Just a story of the foundation testing it’s limits.
I highly recommend Wendigoon’s video, SCP Iceberg, it’s an amazing video that delves deep into the scp universe without being too complex. Wendigoon has other amazing videos on other dark and disturbing topics, real and fiction.
I just recommend Wendigoon in general, man makes great videos
Yes. This. I'd love to see her reaction to some of his stuff.
It's really inaccurate about anything involving the groups of interest though
Volgun is an incredible voice actor. Not only for serious stuff. He can do funny voices too, as seen in NeoCranium's Majoras mask video.
"I need to go to Ikea" - Vinny Vinesauce
Also recommending the Ikea animated Vinesauce video
its a funny watch
This is probably just cause I'm new to twitch, but it feels a little notable to recognize someone in the comment section from the twitch chat of a stream I watched.
Personally, my favorite SCPs are the ones that create weird, interdimensional shit, i love reading the test logs for those. There's the interdimensional vending machine, the interdimensional coffee maker, the thing that upgrades and breaks down stuff to their base components, the infinite pizza box, the green goo... those are always fun.
As an avid SCP reader, I'd recommend these "story-focused" SCPs to Alicia:
"Documents recovered from the Mariannas Trench"(Not a SCP file, but a SCP tale)
SCP-1730 - What Happened To Site 13
SCP: Overlord (Again, not a SCP but is actually a fan film!)
Few more from Vulgun to look out for, kind of ones I would consider more than the creepy/horror standard that SCP tends to have. Won’t say more than the number and the title to avoid spoilers. List is probably too long, pick your favorite title if you need to. Hope this helps out.
4999 - Someone to Watch Over Us
999 - The Tickle Monster
500 - Panacea
3209 - Boredom Butterfly
738 - The Devil’s Deal
7034 - Aerials
3663 - The Tunnel Monster
846 - Robo-Dude
4459 - The Ringmaster’s Crown
3471 - Paint Under the Bridge
Looking forward to seeing her watch the older SCP’s that became popular.
One other thing to add to the hopelessness of being in there: if this IKEA is taking people from different universes, then even if someone does find the exit, the chances of them getting back home is still pretty much zero.
I'm super happy to see you enjoying a fandom that I love so much! There's SO many more interesting SCP's and short films out there to see, so I hope you check out more! I also wanted to mention that nearly every voice in these videos by this guy (TheVolgun) are all done by him, so dude is a super talented VA.
Volgun's 2 videos on 2316 First one was "Field Trip" the second which was more of a story is "Not Fade Away" both I would highly recommend they're amazing.
"The store is now closed, please exit the building immediately"
25:02 Yes. IKEA does in fact have showers for employees.
Also: personal lockers, hairdryers, ironing boards and changing areas.
More SCPs from Volgun you’ll enjoy are Yet Another Murder Monster and Reluctant Dimension Hopper. Both are quite exquisite
The Journal is sad when you remember they found it on his body after he got out but was killed by a staff member
Bruh "shoplifting"
I know you probably have a veritable mountain of suggestions already, but I’d really recommend The Exploring Series 2 videos on Beneficial SCP’s, some really heartwarming stuff in there to balance out all the grimdark. One of my personal favorites is not necessarily an SCP, but a widely accepted theory “SCP-231-7 is a bedtime story”. Really appreciate all the content Alicia!
You talking about how awesome the redactions are is so wholesome, but reminds me of one story where The Vulgun breaks character right at the end and goes on a brief rant about how overly censored the document was to the point of there being no information (i dont remember which document this was done in)
Almost like it wasn't meant for reading lol
Go off the deep end, watch "When Day Breaks". One of the scariest SCPs
TLDR- "The sun is a deadly laser"
Maybe wait a bit on that (or all 001s for that matter), but I absolutely agree she should eventually.
The Potato Dimension is another great voice acting job by Volgun! I think the SCP is called Bag of Holding Potatoes? 🤔
Hey Alicia! Loving the SCP content, it was already super interesting but having you there to say things I'd never think of, with chat to bounce off of, makes it even better. I'm not sure what kind of videos there are on youtube about it, but I get the very distinct suspicion you'd REALLY like SCP 5031. Hope today's treating you well, and looking forward to catching the stream later!
I think she should watch some more scary creatures scp first then we hit her with some of that 5031 to surprise her.
SCP-4666 is a personal favorite of mine, the volgon has a great video on it. In my opinion 4666 is one of the most horrifyingly evil SCPs is the verse and its a good example of how fucked these things can get.
TheVulgun's Lumbardi Tales are awesome. It's stories from a Scp agent Vet to a newcomer.
30:00 It's the Multiverse. This glitched-out platonic ideal Ikea isn't just hooked up to every Ikea in the universe of the SCP foundation, it's connected to _every Ikea across the multiverse._ The Foundation just plugged _their_ hole in a very big warren.
That's how people keep wandering in. The SCP universe's natives don't disappear anymore, but people from other universes still do.
If Alicia ever gets deeper into SCP, I´d love to see her reaction to Volgun´s reading of SCP-001 Proposal: The Scarlet King
I always theorized that he was able to find the exit because he specifically wasnt looking for it for the first time. My assumption was that the group was attacked and he was leading one of them away from the group. And because he wasnt planning on escaping the exit finaly materialized. Its like the other sightings of the exit, those people that saw it probably werent thinging about exiting at that time, only looking for supplies or something else. But when they saw the exit they desired it again and the store moved it away from them again. It only lets you leave when you are content with staying there forever
Well, some SCPs that are good to start with are some of the originals. SCP-173 and SCP-682 are two of the oldest and most famous of all. Sure they are a bit dated, and nobody writes new SCPs like them anymore, but they embody what the Fondation was all about when it came around. After that, maybe check out the thousand ones, like SCP-1000, 2000, 3000 and so on. Big, important-to-note ones that have quite a bit of story and creativity to them.
I’d wait on 682, as it might give her the idea that destroying objects at all costs is a common practice. 100% do it eventually, but I’d wait a bit. Maybe it can be her 5th SCP or so instead of 3rd.
I think 049 is a good start.
Starting with the scp's in the thousands is probably not a good idea, specially because of SCP 5000 and others which are very story and lore heavy, and are appreciated much much more after you have seen hundreds of other SCP's at least, the only one of those which in the moment I would recommend is SCP-1000.
@josuedanielsandi710 actually 5000 might be perfect for that, because they use or mention a lot of popular SCPs in that. Might not be the best in video format, but for newbies, you could use it like a catalog to check out certain ones that really resonate with the fandom. There were some in there that I'd never even heard of, like the Yule Man.
@@josefsieffen18 I disagree. Most of it hinges on you understanding the universe as a whole (SCPs, GOIs, etc). Bad for a newbie. If we need a catalog, we don’t need her to listen to a whole thing she’ll only kind of understand. We can just list it. Plus, SCP 5000 basically spoils what all of them are anyway.
Love that you're doing SCP content, The Volgun is an amazing channel for SCP stuff too. My only issue with choosing SCP 3008 is that it's so well written I worry it will set the bar too high. You could try some classic SCPs like 173, the original, or monsters like 049, 096, 106 or 682. My personal favorite is the first I ever read; 087, which is great from a horror perspective. Or you could try 3001 for a true psychological horror show.
I would say 049 is still also very well written, but I do agree with your point.
@@MoreLoreThenThereSeems I wasn't saying 049 isn't good, in fact I think it's one of the core scps that should be read when getting into the universe
In my opinion SCP 3008 is one of the best written from a narrative standpoint. As for recommendations, two really under rated ones are Joe Schmoe and the inter dimensional strip club.
Oh yea I remember both of Volgun’s videos on those being great.
the infinite ikea is one of the best SCPs, that's why everyone recommends it. its one of the entries that embodies the vibe of SCP and everyone who knows what they're doing tries to match that style and feeling with their submissions.
honestlyI think the one that truly sells what SCP's vibes are is I Am A Toaster
It's always Nice to see somenone's decent into scp for the first time
This is the greatest rabbit hole she could fall down, and I am here for it.
I love when Alicia questions stuff like "Where are you gonna put the dead bodies?" or "where are you gonna go to the bathroom?"
and my ass just thinks "Infinite Ikea, infinite space = Shit in a corner and walk an infinite amount of steps away from the smell : D"
Scp 682 aka the immortal lizard is always a classic if you are looking for a good one
I think “hard to destroy reptile” it’s a bad idea for right now because it might give her the wrong idea that the foundation wants to kill SCP’s instead of containing them
Fair enough
Thevolgun's videos are so good! If I can recommend any of his videos, it would be scp-5031, "Another murder monster". It's really wholesome (despite it's name).
gotta recommend the some of SCP-001 proposals, the ones I recommend are "The Gate Guardian", "The Factory", and "The World's Gone Beautiful".
SCP-001 is held as a multitude of different possible SCP's in order to mask the true SCP-001 but which one it is has never been declassified so its up to your personal judgement on what you believe it is.
Volgun just goes through the entry but he does a fantastic job and it gives you the whole thing. While other channels tell a bit more of a story they sometimes skip things or invent stuff to make their intended narative work or their structure doesn't convey the mystery/fear the same way. They still do a good job but Volgun gives you the same experience as if you read it yourself except voice acted.
i feel like a whole society would form in this thing given enough time, like a few generations worth
Volgun is an extraordinarily talented voice actor and definitely my favourite SCP Contant creator
11:40 "Everything the light touches is on sale"
Never clicked on a videos faster! Love SCPS and The Volgun!
One of the less horror themed SCP articles I've been fond is was, what was the number, I think it was 4999? Let me check... Yeah, yeah, I remembered correctly. It's a bit sad but very heartwarming. I loved that one. No idea if anyone's done a reading of it yet or not.
I HIGHLY recommend SCP: Overlord. It's a 30 min "Fan film" (I say fan film because this shit looks FUCKING AMAZING. Like where did they get the budget for this???) and it's basically about some scp task force/ soldiers from the scp foundation going to investigate an unknown anomaly in a cabin. You basically get to see the pov of what the soldiers who's job it is to contain these things and it is SO COOL!
Absolutely
Honestly, I prefer the other SCP short films like doll house and the 096 one. But overlord is all right too.
I’m surprised she haven’t started with the og SCP-173 peanut
Volgun is one of the best when it somes to reading SCP entries. You should see the one about the bag of infinite potatoes xD
Exploring SCP is a little different in that it summarises several SCP entries at once to help you get a larger picture of common story elements, so it could also be worth a watch
SCP 3008 is like a Twisted version of Minecraft:
> Small towns all over
> Entire communities coexisting
> Nightly assaults by the enraged, monstrous 3008-1 instances
Wow... I forgot just how AMAZING the writing was on SCP 3008 specifically.
Such a classic to start on, but man are there MANY more stories arguably even better than this one you should react to.
I can imagine someone getting lost in IKEA once and decide,
“you know what? this would make a good writing prompt.”
Theory: SCP 3008 is actually not infinite, but instead it's just a normal Ikea but everyone who enters it is given Zoro's navigation skills and gets perpetually lost.
Wrong, as even the minimum distance would be 10km due to measures, though the laser never hit a wall, which is why it’s infinite
I love The Volgun's content. He's very good at narrating. My favorite SCP that he's covered is the Reluctant Dimension Hopper. Also if you've ever watched one of his lives or listen to his special messages that are sometimes at the end, you'll notice that he's actually Scottish. He's very good at changing his accent
If you liked the creepy factor of this scp I would highly recommend spc-2316. Volgun's videos on this scp are great ("field trip" and "not fade away").
4:35 totally get it, I realized it myself when I flipped through shorts and there was one of a sink and I thought to myself, “that’s an awesome sink” and I immediately my inner child die
honestly i kinda want you to check out the wholesome scps but maybe have them as more palate cleansers. two that i recommend are 999 and 2295, the tickle monster and the bear with a heart of patchwork. the wholesome duo.
one of my favorite scps is "Where the Dragons Went" It's not really as strange or scary, but it's definitely one of the best stories on the site, im pretty sure the Volgun covered it too.
scp 999 is cute and wholesome one to dive into
This is a flashback for me. I used to listen to this guy's SCP stuff quite a lot. He's got a great reading voice to just listen too.
If you haven't seen it, you should watch SCP-1762 - Where The Dragons Went, my favorite that one, tugging at the heartstrings.
I love the scp community this is one of the many reasons
The VOLGUN!!!! WOOT!
One of my favorite SCP readings is Volgun's SCP-2316 │ Field Trip
Suggestions:
"What Happened to Site-13?"
"When Day Breaks."
Both are series and would end up taking multiple videos likely but they are very good. One is post apocalyptic the other is a weird irregular space like Ikea expect a lot less inhabitle---
"Emerson Happened To Site-13.
Have We Become Blasphemous? BLEED."
Eh. I don't know what that was... just ignore it. Probably won't be important at all
the site-13 is TOO fucking advanced for a newbie to react to lmfao, there are TOO many scps she has to react to beforehand to get the full scope of the site 13 shitstorm
@@СергейДементьев-ы9р Good point.
In that case. Daleport will suffice.
@@СергейДементьев-ы9р yeah exactly, both of those are way too complicated and harken back to wait way too much other stuff for her to check them out this early, but I definitely want to see her cover them much later!
"Scp 001: when day breaks" and "Scp 610 : the flash that hates " are also good
Alicia is the epitome of adorable I swear
The depth of detail shows the quality control by the community and how hard it is to write one
I really wanna see alicia react to scp illustrated "when day breaks" series after she's watched some of the relevant scp's to it as it's my favourite scp series
It's a classic for a reason, I knew you'd love this one.
YESSSSS! I saw the notification for this and IMMEDIATELY clicked
I have said it before and will continue to say it until I die; The Volgun makes nothing but bangers
One down from my list but I'm sure you'll jump on another instead
096: Probably the second most famous, but also probably exceeding 173 because of the awesome short film based on him. Amazing watch.
173: Probably the most famous SCPs, and the originator of the blinking mechanic in the games.
179: A really good Thamiel class and one of my favorites from how enigmatic she is but still a benevolent force that is looking out for the Earth, not just humanity.
999: Just a great Safe class that will bleach you from the rest of these.
2173: Another great Thamiel class that is seemingly silly, but also a lens on the hubris of the Foundation, while also show casting the good they could do if they stopped pussyfooting about ethics. Also you should read up on the Gate Guardian proposal of 001 before this one for some much needed context.
-3008: The Infinite Ikea, a strange and seemingly silly SCP that is actually haunting.-
3041: A knife . . . that shows that just because something is classified as safe doesn't mean it is.
4043: A rare example of the Archon class. It is also a great example of an SCP that breaks the conventions in a brilliant way to tell a tragic but hopeful story.
4051: A frustrating story about why the neutrality of the Foundation does way more harm than good. Even with a perfectly willing to help and, frankly, overpowered SCP just flops into their lap and they still fuck it up.
7034: A terrifying SCP that's told mainly through the perspective of one Foundation scientist.
I FORGOT THE HARD TO KILL LIZARD! SCP-682!
Absolutely agree with SCP 3041. It should be wayyyy more popular than it is.
SCP-1689 is another neat "exploration log" type SCP
I recommend reading the first entries to every series(so SCP-001, SCP-1000, SCP-2000, SCP-3000, SCP-4000, and SCP-5000) because they have the most work put into them and they are all by far the best concepts. Others include:
SCP-035 - Possessive Mask
SCP-049 - Plague Doctor
SCP-053 - Young Girl
SCP-055 - [unknown]
SCP-073 - Cain
SCP-076 - Able
SCP-079 - Old AI
SCP-096 - Shy Guy
SCP-106 - Old Man
SCP-122 - No More Monsters
SCP-162 - Ball of Sharp
SCP-173 - The Sculpture
SCP-245 - SCP RPG
SCP-343 - God
SCP-354 - The Red Pool
SCP-434 - A meeting with myself
SCP-458 - The Never-Ending Pizza Box
SCP-496 - Many Winged Angel
SCP-579 - [DATA EXPUNGED]
SCP-682 - Hard-To-Destroy Reptile
I would.. advise against any of the 001’s just yet.
Maybe a bit later.
Agree with most of the lower recommendations but I think she should hold off on most of the thousands till she sees many other SCP's.
@@Cold444W there are around 8000 SCP’s, are you suggesting that Alicia only look at most of series one before the other 7000 or so SCP’s?
@@MoreLoreThenThereSeems Nahhh, to be fair I didn't notice at the time that all of those SCP'S were from the first series, just that most of them would work for her to watch right now, but not just those ones, I agree she needs many more of the more recent and middle ones.
About the shower thing, it isn't difficult to make your own shower.
You just need a vessel to contain water and a way to release the water over time.
Raise the container up high and open it up and you have a shower.
This is how we did it at scouting summer camp
They have all the wood they can want and the video did mention that they gathered water.
If you wanna see a more comedic take on the SCP lore there’s a fan-made series called Confinement that you can watch!
Well, the reuploads of the series. Thanks a lot, Lord Bung
True, it is good, but the show has been cancelled now. Bunch of stuff happened and the Lord Bung channel sort of imploded.
I really loved the series, but damn lord bung ruined it for everyone, and I feel bad for the backers
@@abramtabor7726 wait what happened?
@@JohnBrown-tw2qilook into it. it’s bad
Here on RUclips, there are SCP short films like Doll House, Overlord, and SCP-096. There *was* a web series named SCP Confinement and there’s only reuploads of the 7 episodes (6 and 7 are two parters of the Infinite IKEA!!). The creator deleted his channel and episodes for- reasons- but they’re still a fun watch
I know there are plenty of recommendations on what to look into next, but I recommend "when day breaks". Also any of the classics: unkillable lizard, shy guy, and the statue (or community meme peanut).
Hard to destroy reptile actually might not be a good idea just yet since it’s sort of subverts the basic idea of “don’t kill it, contain it”
@@MoreLoreThenThereSeemsthat's true, but it does show that the foundation will try to neutralize threats when needed.
Might I recommend *The Stars Do Not Wait For You,* by either *TheVolgun* (for a higher quality VA) or *The Exploring Series* (for some background on the SCP). It's one of my favourite tales on the site, up there with *There Is No Anitmemetic Division,* though the latter would take several hours longer that The Stars.
Yeah the Ikea is I believe one of the most deceiving named ones, it make it sound like a joke to many you aren't the only one Alicia 😆 it was a great video as always and hoping we have more reaction to SCP stuff, The Rubber is also another good one I recommend it for short videos could do different videos and parts with him, also love how much she got into it, keep suggesting this stuff chat, you are doing amazing, thanks for the video Alicia
I don’t know if she’d like to react to their content after finding out what they did and the whole situation with Kwite and Orion.
@@Marcharounddidn't know he was involved on it I didn't wanted to know much about that situation except the Charlie video, thanks for letting me know I'll edit my comment
Imagine the sheer dread and terror you would feel if you took a few steps into the building, saw that gross mutilated creature, and you turn around to run out but the exit isn’t there anymore. Then the lights shut off and you hear in a distant distorted voice behind you: “the store is closed. Exit the building immediately” and you turn around to barely see in the dark, a 9ft faceless humanoid with grossly long arms sprinting at you in the distance like a rabid dog chasing a squirrel, knocking over shelves and lamp stands as it travels toward you at full speed, it being MUCH faster than you and you have no where to go since the exit is probably thousands of miles in any direction, just you hopeless and alone with meatballs and employees trying to rip you limb from limb
LET'S GOOOOOO
For any future scp videos I'd recommend the SCP Ilustrated yt channel.
lol I actually live in the region where the founder of IKEA comes from and built the world's first store!
Cant recommend doctor bob enough his animations are a great way to get into SCP also if possible more TheVolgun.
Yea scps are really intense and intricate when ever you feel like you need a multipart series check out Scp-6500 by the exploring series he summarizes a single Scp. It is an 8 and half hour video I listened to it while at work it's the most crazy thing ever involving multiple GOI or Groups of interest sites and locations and of course SCPs. But i know thats a bit much for now so a shorter one is thevolgun Scp-3456 great Voice acting just like this video.
Omg
" I thought this was going to be silly "
Welcome to SCP there's a lot of stories that on its cover you would think this is silly and ridiculous but once you dig into it it hits different
