Doctor Stewart actually called Fraust by his name in the end. Only after listening to dozens of these have I realized just how tethered the Foundation is to procedure, down to only referring to them as their full SCP designation and ignoring their real names. So it's a small but meaningful gesture for Dr. Stewart to call Fraust by his name, in addition to putting him with his other effects
if it means that the scp in question becomes more stable and controllable, then the foundation usually doesn't have a problem with allowing such a request especially when all the items are also none anomalous - it just becomes part of the containment procedures. mhm.
The Foundation's cold approach in treating even sentinel anomalies as just a "thing" rather than a "entity" is probably efficient for it's goals but has it's drawbacks. Many people only get treated as a thing rather than a person. The Foundation likely does this in an attempt to make the job easier, but it probably worsens the views the anomalies hold of the Foundation
I like to headcanon that Dr. Millar is an SCP taking the form of an intelligent sound system powered by cassettes and CDs; the Foundation has him performing these presentations for new researchers/agents as a cost-saving measure
Maybe Dr Millar used to be an actual researcher in charge of doing the lecturers to new recruits at one point and he did it for decades before passing, but since he died you can still hear his lectures coming out of his microphone/speakers, them being imprinted on there after having given the same lecturers so many times for so many years
The seminar on reality benders would also imply he has access to and knowledge on how to use anomalous objects, or has his own inherent anomalous abilities.
make sense really if you disturb a bear or gorilla during mating season things could get ugly. can you imagine trying to wrangle a clown breeder when his whole tent is in heat?
Any scp even suspected of being sapient should be Euclid by default as it makes them unpredictable. Safe should be used only for scp that have a predictable effect and can be reliably contained with a straightforward procedure. If it can think and act by itself it isn't predictable.
I mean at a default, all humans should be classified as Euclid regardless of anomalous properties. People are not inanimate objects whose abilities only show when being directly interacted with, but are also not impossible to contain or neutralize.
this was really well written, brought a bit of a tear to my eye at the end, true love loss and the emptiness left behind, just an old hat to some, but a crown to him.
No it wasn't. People think ambiguity is an excuse to not write a proper story and it's ruining SCP. Literally every SCP is like this now and it's boring.
Yeah it's incredibly touching that the doctor calls him by his name at the end, but look again at those containment procedures. They could have just put the hat with the clothes in a cardboard box in any random locker to comply with Fraust's request, but with the details of the hardwood wardrobe and semi-monthly airing of the clothes and inspection for damage...that's an exceptional level of care and respect shown to an SCP that we don't have even proof is aware of its surroundings, more than we have seen towards many other sentient scips. Honestly made me tear up when I realized it.
Part of the reason this is one of the entries i enjoyed, I think because it shows that as soulless and calculating as the Foundation can be, it's still comprised of people.
Same-ish. A quiet sigh of or maybe a brief stutter would be relatable, especially in a public setting such as classroom or stage. I can understand remaining stoic if presenting a video as if it was an scp produced recording. Context is probably important. An intense feeling of loss and the isolation it brings is one part of grief. Empathy can be perceived as sympathy; "You don't know how it feels". Life unfortunately brings grief
I was just thinking the same! I would love if there were extra bits added to the end like a little comment from him or a reminder to the class about an assignment, just a sprinkle more worldbuilding 👌
Same. I kinda want to relisten to them from the beginning and get a better sense on when they stopped. I've seen some Miller Canon theories about him being... altered by the Foundation over the course of his lectures.
Some writers choose to write the Foundation as monsters, and some writers choose a more grey/nuanced Foundation. I think I prefer the latter, which is probably why this sort of SCP entry appeals to me more. Thank you for reading it!
Man, new in town, goes to a therapist. He tells the therapist that his life is a rut, he gets no joy from his work anymore, he's lonely and alone even among friends and coworkers. He has no romance in his life because of his travel for work. The therapist tells him that he needs a change of pace, something new and exciting. She tells him that a circus is visiting town, and they have the greatest and funniest clown in the country performing there. Pagliacci the magnificent! The man looks at the therapist, his face dropping in sadness. "But, Doctor," he says, "I AM Pagliacci!"

“While I would prefer to reclassify it as safe, I believe that the inherent unpredictability of its clown nature makes it so that would be Ill advised”
Herman Fuller was a regular man with big dreams. He didn't give a shit what others thought, and disappeared one day. Pretty sure he still lives, using alchemy to extend his life.
After discovering the SCP wiki years ago and after reading through thousands of entries for individual SCP’s, events, etc, I realized the site had a page for all the GOI’s, and the Herman Fuller’s Circus of the Disquieting was the first group that caught my eye. I loved how the groups hub page looked like a flyer FOR the circus. It completely took me over, drawing me in more and more with every entry I read. All the characters are so fleshed out, and the ties the group has to other groups (MCD, Dr. Wondertainment) made me realize just how deep the wiki goes. For that reason, anything related to the Circus holds a special place in my heart. Amazing work as always. Looking forward to the next one!
From the sounds of it... 4459 is more of a "safe"... it just wants to be left with its things now; but I understand its Euclid level. Isn't that what everyone wants though? Is that last chance to give a proper goodbye?
Safe / Euclid / Keter isn't about how dangerous they are, it's just how hard they are to contain, It's Euclid because people could wear the hat at any time like what happened with the breach so it being Euclid makes sense because once someone puts on the hat the scp would just vanish and escape again
@@hex1 I've been viewing it as "desire" as well as ability. Example, 096 can't be stopped until whatever saw its face is dead, still Keter but a "safe" keter. You put 096 in a box and it's content to just stay in said box. Meanwhile 682 is straight up keter and wants to murderize everyone's face all the time. It wants out of its box and will do whatever possible to get out of its box. Finally this SCP. While it has the ability seems to not have the desire. As far as the ending goes it seems like if a researcher has D-4467 put on the hat, it won't manifest at all, or will manifest just long enough to say "I'd like to be put back in my box please." Based on the whole "what happens when you put it in a box" system it would fall closer to safe as opposed to Euclid
@@ScarlettDeLion True but this is the foundation we're talking about, They're not going to believe what an SCP has told them just like that and they're very paranoid, But for us as viewers it's obvious that it's not a threat

Imagine being a field agent training all your life for the most dangerous anomalies and the team you end up being assigned to is called “Clown Wranglers.”
That was a very fascinating account. I enjoyed this one very much. The element of the circus and the beautiful love story was sad and touching. Thank you.
This made me so sad but near the end he got some closure at least. But it breaks my heart knowing that he could never die even when inside the top hat. At least he got a chance to say goodbye to the woman he loved. This was very well written. I do want to read about the circus of the disquieting. Sounds to me like this may be an interesting read. Thank you Volgun. This Sunday’s video really got me. 👏🏻👏🏻
There's always been a strangely high level of continuity with the circus, which is odd given that personality and relationships tend to be the focus of the story rather than anomalous events (Edit Continuity between different files I mean)
Man I've never had an SCP reading resonate with me so hard. The appeal of being truly one in the same with someone you love absolutely. I believe we as humans hold each other close in a loving embrace to experience closeness physically mentally and emotionally. So the appeal of being unfathomably close to a loved one I can understand it. Also simply just a very well done story. and excellent reading as always
Huh. The foundation didn't act like complete sociopaths for once and let him rest in peace with their belongings. I half expected them to dispose of the clothing via incineration for safety protocols or something.
Given some of the insane lengths they can/will/must go to contain somethings, putting the hat in a box in a wardrobe and keeping it clean and dusted is basically nothing.
They do stuff like this quite often if you actually read a lot of good entries. Part of the Protect is to also protect the SCP's as long as it doesn't cause harm to humanity as a whole to do so
@@TheWonkster There's a statement somewhere in the Foundation files that talks about how many of the SCPs are living things, or at least sentient, and as long as they can be kept in a place that doesn't cause harm to anyone else, they shouldn't be made to suffer unduly.
what I was expecting: woah putting on the hat makes you Crazy what I got: sad clown love story Love an SCP that can swerve on me, this is a good one. can't possibly comment on all your vids but I always love your readings
Direct from the author: “Some of the feedback I've gotten has been about how forced the gender stuff appears. Cahaya is meant to be whatever gender you assign to them. I wanted it to be very fluid on that. Also, Fraust is a Clown, and can change their gender at will.“
Yeah, gender fluidity and 100 different genders, respect my self interpretation, all that silliness. But, is that how the clowns originally worked? I was initially confused both by the pronouns and the re-introduction of clowns as actual people. This time around, they're not human but they are people, as opposed to the first weird article I read of them, SCP 2912. I know not all SCP lore can be true at the same time.
This is so far one of my favourite SCP articles. The researcher feels more human than others I have listened to so far and them letting the entity be reunited with his items in containment is a nice touch. Well done indeed to the author(s) and superbly voiced by Vulgan as always!
Just to make sure I'm understanding the end. The two are dead, but "live" together within the hat/crown? Or...did for a time, but only the one remains?
icky put Fraust in the hat and gave it to Cahaya when they left so they could be together. Fraust could never leave the circus otherwise. Whenever Cahaya put it on, they became one person. It was never going to stop Cahaya from dying, but it would let them be together. Then they died and Fraust was left alone.
Me putting this on in the background and hearing "Madison, Wisconsin" took me out a bit. I go to the University of Wisconsin, Madison. spooked me for a sec
The circus of the disquieting has always been a huge question mark to me. Breeding such humanoid creatures to be entertainment for the masses, it is quite a disturbing thing. Up to this point we didn't know exactly how the circus of the disquieting moved around let alone functioned and how they were able to keep track of all of their clowns as well as their assets now we know. I would have to say the top hat is probably something old very old dare I say it was probably owned by Alistair Crowley himself the world's foremost thermatologist through the 1800s to the 1900s I believe I'm not sure. So the real question is if the hat functioned like a magical GPS radar system most likely they have a replacement.
Searchin' every corner of my mind Lookin' for the answers I can't find I have my reasons and life has its lessons and I tried to be grateful and count all my blessings But heavy is the head that wears the crown
No comments are focusing on the Frosty the snowman gag. The old silk hat with magic left in it, white complexion and name “Fraust” cant be coincidences.
One of my favourite things about the SCP universe is that not all SCPs are these terrifying man slaying beasts some are just sadness manifested or something sweet and comforting the universe feels so much less two dimensional with these kinds of stories

This made me so sad but near the end he got some closure at least. But it breaks my heart knowing that he could never die even when inside the top hat. At least he got a chance to say goodbye to the woman he loved. This was very well written. I do want to read about the circus of the disquieting. Sounds to me like this may be an interesting read. Thank you Volgun. This Sunday’s video really got me. 👏🏻👏🏻
There's always been a strangely high level of continuity with the circus, which is odd given that personality and relationships tend to be the focus of the story rather than anomalous events
(Edit Continuity between different files I mean)
Oh, that's some sad stuff. This article is honestly great! It made me care about a lovecraftian Clown-monster.
Man I've never had an SCP reading resonate with me so hard. The appeal of being truly one in the same with someone you love absolutely. I believe we as humans hold each other close in a loving embrace to experience closeness physically mentally and emotionally. So the appeal of being unfathomably close to a loved one I can understand it. Also simply just a very well done story. and excellent reading as always
Huh. The foundation didn't act like complete sociopaths for once and let him rest in peace with their belongings. I half expected them to dispose of the clothing via incineration for safety protocols or something.
There's a difference between the Foundation, and the GOC. You just described it.
From the foundation's perspective putting him with his belongings is a small price to pay to avoid a containment breach
Given some of the insane lengths they can/will/must go to contain somethings, putting the hat in a box in a wardrobe and keeping it clean and dusted is basically nothing.
They do stuff like this quite often if you actually read a lot of good entries. Part of the Protect is to also protect the SCP's as long as it doesn't cause harm to humanity as a whole to do so
@@TheWonkster There's a statement somewhere in the Foundation files that talks about how many of the SCPs are living things, or at least sentient, and as long as they can be kept in a place that doesn't cause harm to anyone else, they shouldn't be made to suffer unduly.
Thank you for all you do. I get a little giddy about my scp training. I like to think your junior researchers are a cut above.
Another great video!! Thank you for making these!!
My favorite of all @TheVulgun videos made.
what I was expecting: woah putting on the hat makes you Crazy
what I got: sad clown love story
Love an SCP that can swerve on me, this is a good one. can't possibly comment on all your vids but I always love your readings
"Would you let me go back to my box now I am so tired" OOF
As a native Cheesehead, I was glad to find an SCP from Wisconsin.
Direct from the author:
“Some of the feedback I've gotten has been about how forced the gender stuff appears. Cahaya is meant to be whatever gender you assign to them. I wanted it to be very fluid on that. Also, Fraust is a Clown, and can change their gender at will.“
Yeah, gender fluidity and 100 different genders, respect my self interpretation, all that silliness.
But, is that how the clowns originally worked? I was initially confused both by the pronouns and the re-introduction of clowns as actual people. This time around, they're not human but they are people, as opposed to the first weird article I read of them, SCP 2912. I know not all SCP lore can be true at the same time.

Silliness eh?
So other people shouldn’t respect your identity because it’s “all that silliness”?
I'm really glad the containment procedure was revised at the end.
If these were on spotify, I would be listening to them all day everyday. 🙏
A very sad SCP, but that's why I love it so much.
Thanks again for this great vid. I'm gonna brb and cry a bit now.
Immortal life, while a comforting thought in the short term, only brings sorrow and loss while time marches ever onward.
a wholesome if sad story from the Circus of the Disquieting. well done.
This is so far one of my favourite SCP articles. The researcher feels more human than others I have listened to so far and them letting the entity be reunited with his items in containment is a nice touch. Well done indeed to the author(s) and superbly voiced by Vulgan as always!
I just realized this is frosty the fukkin snowman's hat
Thanks again volunteers. Haunting yet fulfilling, as always.
I've been reading Dread & Circuses and am happy to see that Icky and Manny are mentioned in this one
Thanks for the great video!
Just to make sure I'm understanding the end. The two are dead, but "live" together within the hat/crown?
Or...did for a time, but only the one remains?
Pretty sure it's the latter, sadly.
😢
icky put Fraust in the hat and gave it to Cahaya when they left so they could be together. Fraust could never leave the circus otherwise. Whenever Cahaya put it on, they became one person. It was never going to stop Cahaya from dying, but it would let them be together. Then they died and Fraust was left alone.
@@JesseMcCullough Ah, thanks.
Guess I missed a part while listening in, so this clears it all up.
First thought when I heard "clown" and "milk"
*When the milkshake tastes sus....*
The taste of immortality.
And possibly cotton candy?
Volgun , my man, awesome job
Great work. I am always happy to see a new video.
Me putting this on in the background and hearing "Madison, Wisconsin" took me out a bit. I go to the University of Wisconsin, Madison. spooked me for a sec
Ah, the perfect way to spend time at work: The Volgun

The circus of the disquieting has always been a huge question mark to me. Breeding such humanoid creatures to be entertainment for the masses, it is quite a disturbing thing. Up to this point we didn't know exactly how the circus of the disquieting moved around let alone functioned and how they were able to keep track of all of their clowns as well as their assets now we know. I would have to say the top hat is probably something old very old dare I say it was probably owned by Alistair Crowley himself the world's foremost thermatologist through the 1800s to the 1900s I believe I'm not sure. So the real question is if the hat functioned like a magical GPS radar system most likely they have a replacement.
A nice twist on Frosty's tophat. I like it.
I love listening to these videos
Searchin' every corner of my mind
Lookin' for the answers I can't find
I have my reasons and life has its lessons and
I tried to be grateful and count all my blessings
But heavy is the head that wears the crown
No comments are focusing on the Frosty the snowman gag. The old silk hat with magic left in it, white complexion and name “Fraust” cant be coincidences.
You know who's way worse? Herman Emptier
I used to live not far from this street. Never would have guessed such a thing occurred. Unless I got amnesticized of course.
This turned out a lot more sad/heart warming than i was prepped for.
I truly love the skips like this one.
Never expected a tragic love story like this from an SCP.
Tragic? Getting to grow old together and getting to say goodbye?
One of my favourite things about the SCP universe is that not all SCPs are these terrifying man slaying beasts some are just sadness manifested or something sweet and comforting the universe feels so much less two dimensional with these kinds of stories
Painting of a Sad Clown turned SCP.
20:47 - I was wondering if there'd be a Frosty the Snowman reference in there.
Hey finally a reasonable scp
Regardless of how you feel about the writing. This hits differently if you've lost someone you love.
I always love to hear more about The Circus. If any scp concept was real, I would want it to be this goc.
Ugh. Right in my heart this time. Poor Fraust...
Seriously, all praise to TheAlmightyFish. Not only is her heart in the right place, she's a better swordsman than you. Respect, milady!
That was... touching. Very much so.
So I live in Madison WI and it was kinda disquieting to have an SCP set in my town
Love everything you provide for us Dr
Hmm, with the clowns and the Ringmaster hat it makes me think of ICP.
I didn't understand that at all. Do I need to know some other lore for it to make sense?
Omg I love me some Circus of the Disquieting, I’m excited!
Why is it always Wisconsin? Binge watching and this is like the 3rd scp found in Wisconsin ive heard today.
Perfect timing I was looking for something 😎😎😎
