Current Events > Some SCPs are good but a lot are dumb. The religious ones make my eyes roll

(+) Yeah! (+)

I like the paranormal and creative ones. Like that one with the mirror that leads to the parallel world

But a lot of them are dumb. And the the religious ones especially arent too good for the most part. One of the scps was literally "god walks among us he is here in this scp facility". And the ones with cultists involved. Ugh.

As with any fan fiction, you're prone to find really awful stuff, but sometimes there's gems in between those.

That said, I've yet gone to that site, hit random and find anything interesting, outside of the staples that now appear in all the fangames and shit...

The one where death, or more specifically what happens after death, fucked me up.

I think the site staff actually sort of wants to take that one down. It and a lot of other "Series I" SCPs were written back when standards were lower. I believe it's kept around mostly because it's highly rated and partly just so no one else tries to write the same thing. In any case, it claims that it's God, but the SCP universe has multiple reality benders (they even classify them as Type Green). That one could just like claiming that it's the Christian God.

The later/more recent ones absolutely suck. I stick with the early stuff when people actually tried.

The one thing I don't like is the meaningless risk they take just for some SCP to exist. There's this treehouse monster they regularly feed kids to so it wouldn't go on a rampage like it did once and another that's a cop that's already killed multiple people so after one failure to stop him from a team of muggles they just cordon off the area he's in.
Except they could literally just sic the guy who kills everyone who sees his face, the girl who makes everyone see her try to attack her and then spontaneously combust or the one that's a reality warper that does things half-heartedly on them and wipe them so they wouldn't be a threat. I mean, they've managed to contain and try to kill 682 who is much more powerful but seems less dangerous than them. If they could do all that they could definitely deal with those lesser monsters without having to appease them by sacrificing children to them.

It's the problem with multiple writers.

I've read they try to keep stuff consistent, but kinda hard when its several hundreds if not more writing stuff...

Because SCPs are, by their nature, unexplainable, the Foundation tries to avoid exposing them to each other because they could end up interacting in ways that make things worse. SCP-682 is sort of an exception because it's indestructible, nearly unstoppable, and hostile to all human life, so they try to kill it by any means necessary. Of course, the meta reason is that it's just an old, super-popular one before they tried to avoid cross-testing.

And that treehouse is one I hadn't read yet, but I just skimmed it. It looks like if the creature dies, then a half-dozen of them show up somewhere else. So keeping it alive and under control is the better option than repeatedly trying to kill it.

They've done a bunch of other cross-overs like that camera who takes a picture of whatever the target's biggest desire was and that book that puts its targets into fiction and makes it real. The treehouse thing died from conventional weaponry and doesn't seem to have any resistance to reality warping unlike 682. They could at least try and have it be permanently wiped by things like the reality warper korean or the book that makes whatever the title is come true rather than sac kids to it.
Also, not sure how they can for the most part reliably contain 682, something that can tango with the strongest monsters, but can't contain the treehouse monster without giving in to its wishes.

I'm not familiar with the book one, but a camera that takes a picture of what you want is a far shot from setting two murderous SCPs on one another in the hopes that they'll kill each other. I'm not familiar with the "reality warper Korean," but the Foundation doesn't utilize reality warpers unless it's literally the end of the world.

But really, you can disagree with that and think they should risk it. That's not a flaw in the writing, it's just how the Foundation operates: they aim to Contain, not necessarily destroy. There are even other Groups of Interest on the site. The Chaos Insurgency, for example, does use anomalous items in their operations while the Global Occult Coalition actively tries to destroy paranormal items. The Foundation aren't necessarily meant to be the good guys, they're just the ones the site is about.

http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2599
Both were used in 682 attempts. They're not exactly murderous. 826 was soundly defeated by 682 but like I said, the treehouse doesn't seem to be nearly as strong as 682 and if a constant stream of sacrifices are needed to feed it is just as dangerous if not more so than 682 so should be placed in the same category of "we've got to kill it" as 682. 2599 actually almost succeeded and would have if 682 didn't outsmart them, which is actually in-character since 682 is said to be clever-again something the treehouse isn't.
And it is most certainly a flaw in the writing if they can forcefully contain a creature powerful enough to tango with reality warpers but they can't contain this mediocre treehouse things without sacrificing children regularly to them.
But the Foundation does have an ethics committee with even the satanic Dr. Clef being pissed someone tried using a child against 682 so it also goes against previous writing that they would allow regular child sacrifices to appease a relatively weak monster.
Anyway my point is that the way they "contain" things are very inconsistent. On one hand they can contain reality warpers and dimensional creatures. On the other they can't contain some mild monsters that die from conventional weaponry. It just starts being really contrived when you see monsters doing all sorts of awful things and being written as horror when the Foundation should be more than capable of stopping them.

I always felt most of these are written from the whole "Unreliable Narrator" perspective though, that could excuse the whole inconsistency between one SCP and the other maybe?

Both of those SCPs just seem like it will kill the treehouse...which makes more of the treehouse. I suppose the girl could reality warp it away, but her inability to complete commands could fuck it up. Or they could break reality a little by trying to warp something away like that.

And the treehouse is in no way more dangerous than 682, its containment is just more fucked up.

I'm not sure how many reality warpers they actually contain, but I've read relatively few of them. The Korean kid and "God" are the only ones I know about. The former is obedient, the latter isn't actually contained. I also only know of one dimension hopper and he's just a dude who prefers being in Foundation custody.

And you keep calling the treehouse thing weak, but seem to be ignoring that more show up if you kill it.

They're from different researchers I think, but the data should still be the same. It's more just inconsistent writing due to the amount of writers as you said, same as a lot of comic books.

The book could kill it in a way that it stops reproducing or only reproduces in the story. Only reason 682 survived is because he's resistant to reality warping. And if the treehouse needs constant sacrifices or else it starts going on targetless rampages it's definitely more harmful to society than something that's being contained without any sacrifices, just competent guards and the only risks being people who signed up for the Foundation.

They managed to contain that weeping angel doll that's apparently so powerful even 682 is afraid of it. And just many other more powerful things. The treehouse is only Eulcid. The SCP definitely has a bunch of malevolent keters they've contained.
And the treehouse being weak doesn't mean killing it is the only thing it's weak at. It should also be relatively easily contained even when it goes on its rampages with all the tools the Foundation has at its disposal.

The fact that you're getting so worked up over this one is kind of stupid, tbh. If you don't like it, just say "Yeah, this one is stupid" and move on. There's thousands of them, ffs. Not all of them are gonna be good. In fact a LOT of them are really garbage. That doesn't make the good ones somehow less good. -_-

BTW, my two personal favorites are the stairwell (http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-087) and the clockwork machine (http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-914). Stairwell is really creepy and well written. And the clockwork machine is just a really novel idea with a lot of crazy/funny ways to play around with its abilities.

Where am I getting worked up? In my initial post I even said "the one thing I don't like about". It's just an ordinary criticism. Nothing about it makes the good ones bad. And it's not just one entry, it's a trend among a lot of the horror ones.

So maybe the book kills it with something that escapes the story and ends up being worst. Or the book can't stop it from reproducing, so you've just made more of them outside of containment. Or maybe when you have it only reproduce in stories, it transfers it from the real world and you suddenly have a bunch of books that devour children. Those aren't risks the Foundation is willing to take. Right now they can contain it by feeding it four kids a year. If 974 escapes containment because they're trying to kill it, you could lose almost twice that many in a month. In fact, half that article is about them stopping the sacrifice of kids. And doing that made everything worse, first by having seven of them in the wild and then mutating into a monstrous, nearly invulnerable creature that hunted all human life and was only stopped by shoving a grenade down its throat.

And 974 is still not nearly as dangerous as 682. All it takes to make it completely harmless to the world at large, is to feed it one kid a every few months. Even if it does breach containment, it'll just set up a hunting ground and eat the a kid every few months. On the other hand, 682 has tried to break out almost thirty times, being successful six times. It would love nothing more than to murder every single person on the planet and is fully capable of doing so.

No offense but you're really reaching with all this and it does seem like you're just trying to play the contrarian. That isn't at all consistent with what's been already done. The same thing could happen but worse with 682 yet they were willing to attempt it with 682. You could say the same thing that trying all of that could lead to 682 evolving into an unstoppable god or cloning a million times into the real world when exposed to the book and they don't have to risk that when their current situation with 682 is fairly safe with the occasional escape that only harms Foundation members.
They still risked it... and nothing awful happened. There's no in-universe reason for them to believe anything different would happen with the treehouse. Not trying to be accusatory or anything but you are using mental gymnastics as if you're posting in a thread titled "use any attempt to justify why 2+2=5", and not whether it actually made sense in the writing, which is what I'm talking about.
You can use mental gymnastics to justify any awful writing or inconsistency. It doesn't change that it's bad writing.
And as you say, since this "monstrous almost invulnerable creature" (though getting killed by a grenade is hardly invulnerable at all) was still less dangerous than 682 then they could keep it contained the same way as 682 without hurting any innocent people. One of the Foundation's goals is still to protect society. Nowhere in any other SCP is there a method to keep something contained as inhumane and callous as this which makes this stand out even more as inconsistent.

The last time they tried to contain it, it mutated into something they could barely kill. In fact, someone sacrificing themselves to shove their arm down its throat so it can set off a grenade didn't even kill it, it just knocked it on its ass enough that it could be subdued (and presumably fed a kid). But if you do kill that hostile entity, which 682's acid bath might very well do, at least seven more pop up somewhere else. Or maybe it mutates further and becomes even harder to kill if it's kept alive long enough.

It may be reaching (moreso with the book than with what I just described), but I'm just saying that's how the Foundation is written to think. At least in their mind, current containment procedures for 974 are the best way of preserving human life. It's the balance of four lives a year vs six in 90 second.

But it isn't how the foundation works. At least, not from previous entries and future non horror entries. That's the problem with the series I've been trying to say. There's a huge disconnect between the horror entries and then just the cool superpower entries. It makes these subtle creatures with monstrous acts written as if they were an unstoppable horror seem inconsistent when so much powerful tools and benevolent things exist in the hands of the Foundation. It's like having leatherface as a villain in dr strange.

Like I've pointed out in all the other examples, I don't think that's how the Foundation is written to think at all... It's only how the Foundation is written to think in this one entry. That's another problem that's related to this. Many horror entries (actually, many entries in general) are written as if it's the first and only SCP that exists, completely disregarding the protocols, the past experiences, the Foundation's previous standards, the available weapons and tools the Foundation has, and sometimes contradicting the origins of other SCPs.
Like I said in my initial post, it's the problem with multiple non-returning writers.

Yeah, I apologize for getting irate. I was mainly just seeing it as a discussion too before Aristoph butted in and that plus this also being the post where you started reaching, which is usually about the point where someone is just trying to annoy the other, hit a nerve so my bad there.
I really don't think this instance is justifiable though since you do need to reach and disregard a lot of previously written things to do so. And from what I've seen there isn't any instances like it since. Though the majority of future entries do still write as if they were the only entries that exist.

Like I said though, the Foundation isn't sacrificing people to the treehouse for kicks. It's because they genuinely believe that not doing so would leader to more loss of life than it otherwise would.

, I don't think that's how the Foundation is written to think at all..

They have flat out stated why cross-testing is frowned upon and it IS because of that.

There are a metric ton of cases that says the contrary though... and in the treehouse entry itself there are instances of cross-testing though only of irrelevant ones.

But even that entry misses the "it makes more when it dies" part lol

I just saw the discussion and like 90% are also calling out the stupidity and unrealistic impracticality of the way it's being handled.
