I turn 360° and die.

I love how early SCPs avoided discussions about stuff like this by just not bringing it up
New SCP entries are so cluttered with garbage, every possible test, every possible detail, every time a scientist scratched his ass and every passing conversation, meanwhile old ones were just slick and to the point
>But what if SUPER POWERFUL MONSTER teams up with OTHER SUPER POWERFUL MONSTER WITH A CONTRADICTORY POWER?
>Well, that'd be boring, so no lmao

>>724079219
Early SCPs were not connected to each other.
But then they started trying to connect them.
But not really.
Problems started when the main star of an SCP entry started becoming the scientists.

Its fine, just don't look directly at the photo, like look at peanut's nutsack. You don't have to make eye contact or anything.

>>724079437
Yeah making recurring human OCs was the faggotry event horizon for scp

>>724078880 (OP)
There should really be a rule of thumb in these kinds of projects that the entities are not allowed to reference each other and interactions should only exist as fan memes like your pic.

>>724079437
yeah, once we started getting "characters" instead of weird anomalies it got bad
especially when the scientists started being the anomalies
that's how you know you're gonna read some shitty shit fanfic tier shit

>>724079441
Yea but are you gonna be looking at the floor the whole time you're at the facility? Chances are you will be looking eye level again eventually and 173 is just there in the corner staring back

>>724079219
But SCP-00000000001 is actually.... le god!
Its called THE CONSTRUCTOR OMEGA
and and its got super laser shield so it's more powerful than goku!
but it likes my OC scientist female ex-CIA assassin character because she is so cool and is not afraid of anything.

>>724079536
It could still be kept to a minimum like 628 and 079 bonding over hating humans but otherwise totally agree

>>724079702
Ok look I agree it's lame but your post genuinely sounds mad as hell

I think it's half that and half new writers coming in trying to make 'epics' out of their SCPs. You'd have entire short stories basically of varying quality on their own, but as an SCP part of the collective it felt like it was trying too hard to stand out. It was more fun when there were groupings of SCPs under one group or banner that could be vaguely connected to each other like that (Church of the Broken God is my favorite) but now you'll have entire articles linking to other ones and so on trying to make some sort of big lore about it to rival the Scarlet King. Individual SCPs can be bad and not shit up the overall body of work, but this genre of SCP specifically has really hampered what the goal of the writing prompt is.

>>724079723
Spotted the SCP-0001 creator!
My SCP owns your scp! (see how i dont evem capitalise your SCP)

>>724079595
Well yeah but by that logic you can't fucking do anything in the facility
Anytime you look around you might catch 096, anytime you're NOT looking up 173 might sneak up behind you, at any point some SCP that's literally just a fucked up monster that shanks you for no reason and doesn't have a "catch" or condition to avoiding it, just an asshole that will bite your buttcheeks off like the lizard things with the voices, might get loose
Walking down a hallway? Random creature there ready to snatch you. Opening a door? Boogeyman behind the door. Opening a bag of pecans? Pecan SCP throws pecans in your face and the pecans make you gay.

>>724078880 (OP)
just get one d boy to take the photo off real fast and leave him to his fate

>>724079779
i agree

also i think some people, particular chicks and hormonal teenagers, are just into character drama and every genre, world and piece of media is just a backdrop for drama for them
they don't like sci-fi, they just want drama in a science facility with monsters as the facilitators for drama
they can't into cool monsters or weird supernatural shit, they could do with a coffee shop au, but they wanna get into this community and they vaguely like SOMEthing about the science aesthetic, as shallow as it is, so they write coffee shop AUs in a lab and call it a day

>>724079869
Well ya 173 having a picture of 096 taped to it is comically busted

>>724079219
I liked how they did it with that upgrade machine and the immortal lizard where you just got a side doc and people can add their interaction idea and they’re in if they’re decent but that was about it.
These SCPs that try to re-invent old ones or make random ones connected or these gigantic verses with a bunch of connected ones with walls of text stories spread across them are utter garbage.

>>724080316
Well yeah but so is the whole facility that's part of the fun

>>724080492
And part of the reason old SCPs used [REDACTED] so much was to hide potentially world breaking info
Like
>What happens if you do this super obvious thing that may neutralize an SCP or may destroy the world? Ooooh, it's a mystery
>Well either they tried it and shit went bad, so bad it had to be deleted and memoryholed, or it's stupid and they won't try it

Nowadays new writers use it to circumvent the holes in their knowladge because this shit is written by people who are just using it to prop up their OCs so they're not actually into crazy science shit so they use those black bars to cover up plot holes and information they don't have about stuff like equations or real life science or things they're not too creative to come up with

They are now in 9000s, btw.

>>724081259
it should never have gone past triple digits

I wonder which SCP people wanna fuck the most that isn't a humanoid
Idc about the virus cunt or the succubus or any of the scientists that are "technically" SCPs but are totally human, I'm talking about the lesser known ones
There has to be someone out there who wants to bang the 3D glasses monsters
Or just the glasses

>>724081259
but the number doesnt really matter to much doesnt it?

>>724081421
I’m more of a doorknob kind of guy.

>>724081396
ok you're a faggot and all, but now i'm curious
there has to be an scp that's just a dude who is immune to all other scps due to his sheer power of "i-don't-give-a-fuck"ery, right? at the very least that has to be a joke scp

>>724081494
not anymore but just the sheer bloat of it bodes badly

this shit began as basically a free for all communal writing project and became a gated community that is pumping out garbage just for the sake of it and thats sad

>>724081553
I should have specified that the doorknob is also exempt
That's too easy, everyone wants to fuck the doorknob
it's one sexy knob
