Thank you! Also love listening to you during my lunch. Love your reading.
You should pin this
Thank you
@NothingExotic saame
ok thanks
Imagine if SCP-6000 is called "This Is Where I Live" and the SCP is just a letter to the Foundation with the words "Try again next time"
Yes please
No, thank you.
"I lived, bitch."
E. V *breaks down door*
That's not how the SCP submissions are organized. Each set of 1000 SCPs (000-999, 2000-2999 etc.) is its own "series" and new submissions can be any available number within the most recent series. A new series cannot be started until the entirety of the newest one is filled with entries. SCP 5000-5999 is series VI (6) and to my knowledge is still incomplete. Whenever series VII (7) begins, The 6000th slot is available to any member of the site who wants to put their submission in it.
But that might not matter since SCP's have to be about anomalies (and you can't have the same anomaly in different entries) and something like that would be more of a tale.
And they also have to have more depth, not just a letter with a single sentence that requires context from another SCP.
"Someone took the L key from the typewriter"
Lmao someone took the L

the foundation did

Wait they took my. Key
This might be the Most random and therefore most badly written SCP-Story I've ever heard.

Honestly if the fictional foundation managed to literally meta kill me, I wouldn't even be mad, I'd be impressed. Like 10/10 fiction, would die-again.
High key, but that would leave so many question about fictional texts. Like what if we're in one.
David Coffin I think it could kill someone given the beast somehow got stronger, the reader had a weak heart or severe stress, or in alternative universes it did kill the readers
@@Not_Lilly42 I recommend reading A Voice Behind Me for more on that
My biggest question is what would happen if one of the characters was a self-insert. Would both the author and their fictional avatar die? Or would the fictional self survive because they are still in our media (much like certain SCP entries)? Or would being in our media even matter at that point?
Credit where its due, right.
This reminds me of that old Sesame Street book “There is a Monster at the End of This Book.” If I remember correctly it was about Grover learning there was a monster at the end of the book and trying to prevent the reader from finishing it because he’s afraid of the monster. At the end we learn Grover was the monster and Grover laughs because he was worried over nothing. Very cute, very wholesome.
That’s actually a great connection, I remember having that book as a kid too and it’s funny for it to share a base concept with something so dark
the monster was YOOOOUUUU
Omg i love that book
That book was scary.
Omg I LOOOOOOOVED that book as a kid....such vivid childhood memories of it 🥰

@@danhelsting6308 And in turn the death of the writer killed a multiple potential universes/lives. A huge W for us
The most ironic part of this whole meta narrative is that their plan was conceived entirely by one of the writers they want to kill, thus making the whole plan pointless to begin with.

It was worth it. I really enjoyed this one. Then again, I have a bias for/against this one, I have a phobia when it comes to dolls lol. Especially when I am home alone. It’s a strange feeling.

As soon as I heard that it freaked him out I felt so many chills. He's never said that about anything in the videos I've watched so far.
the chain sounds had turned on when I saw it so I was just traumatized the rest of the time reading through
I had to sit on a different tab during the doll part. Those pictures got a bit unsettling. Everything else was fine. Even the door creak since there wasn't a real door near me.
So true! Bruh I kept hiding my phone screen, and looking away cause of that. Creepy monster? Aight. Dolls that look like they’re watching you through the phone, NOPE.
"Maybe the Foundation's great, killer creepypasta didn't work out so well for them this time, but if they keep working at it, perhaps the next one will do it," he said cheerfully.

I feel called out by the fact that the Foundation’s method for making the ultimately engaging SCP to kill as many users as possible is by smashing as many horror tropes together as possible with no restraint or artfulness to it, and it absolutely would have worked on me.
The story about the Lambs in the small town almost drove me away cuz I couldn't stand the writing style, I literally just skipped ahead in the audio, that must be why I survived xD
Imagine coming up with such an elaborate scheme to trick the authors into unleashing an advanced memetic kill agent on themselves only for the memetic kill agent to not work.
What do you think the reason for that would be, lore-wise? Maybe our reality just follows different rules rendering such kill agents useless?
@@U.F.O I'm thinking it's because the foundation members in charge just couldn't match the level of fictional writing required to do any real damage in our reality...whatever that level might be.
Maybe they should've gotten a reality bender or two to help out somehow, idk.

Maybe it would've been more effective if it was either written much better...or much worse. Either direction would attract more readers.
Not even the most powerful characters in fiction can so much lay a scratch on those that actually exist, we simply humor their attempts. They lack free will, they lack agency, they lack existence and they are non-sentient

“Throw the weird thing in a box” lol literally spit out my food. Very funny
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa I know right?! Especially with the facts that’s technically what they do!
That's exactly what they did to SCP-682.
That's literally what they do to the weird thing that isn't a sphere. They used it to reset timlines or something like that... what was I talking about again?
Silver You mean 055 and 579?
@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 Yes, 579 and... the other thing... excuse me, what is 055? Does it even exist?
I honestly really enjoyed this one and the explanation, finding out that you're a fictional universe and then trying to kill your creators is a very "Foundationey" thing to do.
Meanwhile with 5500 that's exactly what happens. Except it backfires spectacularly and the known multiverse starts breaking down.
In that SCP when an author is killed, universes with their work are destroyed. Also, when authors die they often die in methods relating to their most well known work. The SCP then turns into a choose-your-own-adventure hunt for a rogue entity out trying to kill the Authors. Multiple endings and answers to who the killer is exist. I'd recommend reading the declass on r/SCPDeclassified.
I guess they figured if they could kill the source of the anomalies and horrors in their universe, then everything would finally get better for them and everyone in their universe.
@@namelessguy5491 Not really. The SCP the author makes doesn't kill them, it's the phenomenon of SCP 5500 that does it (the killer). Again, the post on r/SCPDeclassified explains it far better than I could.
Lame. I really don't like meta-stories where fctionals "know" they fictional.
R ex same
I was kind of underwhelmed by the explanation at first, but after I thought about it for a while, I thought of a new way of seeing it. TES gets close to saying it in the video, but to me the ultimate idea is that...
YOU are SCP-5999. You, the reader, are what is being contained
Foundation: warning you MUST not read on. I repeat you SHOULD not continue reading.
Reader: Okay.
Foundation: Goddamn!
D-class: h h hello
Doll: hello

Doll: *giggles*

Aside from a fantastic meta narrative (and I love a good meta narrative) it's really cool to see Lovecraftian level horror pushed into more traditional religious space. It's not something you get too often.
This article is like none other on the SCP wiki, and I say that with the utmost certainty. It can be taken so many different ways, and they’re all so good. I do have to say, TES, no matter how much love your videos, there was no way you were going to get the full effect of this article by voice alone. Reading through it the first-hell, even the second time, when the formatting was all set up-was something special.
One of my favorite details that you missed: each of the sections of the article are written by a pre-existing Foundation staff member with connections to the idea of the universe being fictional.
7. Written by S Andrew Swann, creator of “The Database” proposal for 001, and the first to discover the fictional aspects of the SCP universe.
6. Written by Researcher Talloran, the star of SCP-3999, and the first to combat the one of the entities who write their world.
5. Written by Dr. Panagiotopolous, who has something to do with the Pataphysics department. Their motto is “killing our gods.”
4. Written by Director Menard, another core member of the Pataphysics department.
3. Written by Researcher Smalls, the focus of the documentation for SCP-3309. 3309, for the record, is an expansion on the concept of things in the SCP database being deleted from existence, shown as a article deletion notice.
2. Written by I. H. Pickman, the focus of the “Story of Your Life” 001 proposal. Essentially, it’s an expansion of Swann’s proposal, with some more details and clichés.
1. Written by the Containment Staff for SCP-5000 hey wait a minute that’s not right
so.. we took over?
*mission failed.. we'll get em' next time*
Hmmmmmmmm
Sooo they failed anyways lol

Thanks for the heads up man!!!!
Jacksax DUDE THIS HAPPENS TO ME TOO when I drift off listening to The Exploring Series. I dreamt I was running from something unknown through dark, crowded buildings while familiar faces in the crowd harassed me. I've nearly never had scary dreams in my life until I started doing this :(
Props to Trei for somehow managing to survive contact with the anomaly of the game up until the very end, I like to think they survived to live to an old age.
This SCP initially scared me because it detailed events that were clearly, somehow, connected, but kept happening in ways that it seemed, the foundation could not contain. The body was buried, but then the town because an anomaly by itself. The witnesses bodies are burned, but their screams become heard in other places. This Is Where I Died is written in more and more places. Trei is never found, their copy of the game never retrieved, hell, a copy of the game is found in a WW1 trench, long before it should have existed! Cindy straight up leaves the foundation, people keep mysteriously dying. The more you read, the less the anomaly is contained (clever, since we are releasing it), and that was frightening. And then the end part, where a figure attempts to enter our reality, smiling. It is terrifying.
This is the first time in my entire memory that reading something has caused me great fear. Kudos to the writer (ahem, sorry, the 05 council) for that. Though, a great shame for them that our reality has a tad more stable physics engine.
"We then have a picture labeled 'item recovered within the chamber' but it kinda freaks me out so lets move on."

"Her parents usher her back into her house..." [picture of Xenomorph heading into lab, from Alien Isolation]
I love you. Never change.
That explanation was bad ass. I always wanted something like that in the scp universe
You mean the Foundation finding out that their universe is basically a horror fiction series that multiple authors can contribute to?
@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 Isn't that one of the 0001 proposals?
Eric Luu Yes, yes it is
Yes it is. This seems to be a direct sequel to that...this is their attempt to kill us
TheWerdna But I still can’t believe they’d resort to killing off the ones who created their universe.
"It'll kill you!"
"Yeah, shame... Got an audio copy to make sure?"
"But it kind of freaks me out, so let's move on."
Can we all just acknowledge how significant that is in the context of this channel?
Like.... fuck.
Me: **up at 3 am severely needing sleep for tomorrow**
The Exploring Series: **posts a 1 hour long video**
Me knowing I’ll have to get up in 3 hours: yeah, I think I’ve got time
Yeah same
We can sleep when we’re dead.
I'm sure you regret that now lol
2am here
Fool revealing your time zone expect a visit soon
Did this man just say ALL 7 CANDLES ARE LIT?
alright this scp is already incredibly gamer I have to watch this now
Why what does all seven candles are lit mean
@@blackjack7654 Watch the video to find out...
The whole "chains are being broken. You must keep reading" thing gave a bit of the ending away. Not the huge reveal, but enough that I wasn't totally blind sided
"Alright, this should work. We're finally gonna kill those bastards. They'll never see it comi-"
"Wait, if they're writing what we're doing then does that mean they're writing us trying to kill them?"
"..."
"..."
"Shit."
*Revision 0:* "Inform the appropriate personnel that our containment of SCP-5000 is complete. Protocol ██-███-█████ tentatively initiated. Godspeed, gentlemen. See you on the other side."
This thing *right here,* is the ultimate "hold up" moment for meta. Honestly, the only way we could go deeper is if we put messages in the file comments. (Which is what I did, -but who cares about me,- you know)
I kind of liked this one more than "Why?", due to the mad task of multimedia present in it. I'm still disappointed that my entry didn't come close to winning the contest, but at least I got to see some more meta shit.
Davey Mikystache Though it did make it confusing at first, I agree with you that this was a fascinating article. Also what kind are article did you write?
@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 Well, I wrote 5536, though it was quite divisive (mostly about the length and the coloured text). Thankfully, 2 of the BSR members gave some pretty detailed advices on how to improve it, so I'm currently in the process of polishing it up.
@@dhmc45 Very well done, I'll inform the O5 that this SCP is properly contained... be sure to contact security if you need any assistance of containment...Also I lost a sandwich while I was there, it was a turkey sub and if anyone could find it, I'd appreciate it.

I think this would have been better 5000 than "Why?" which should have been 5682. Still, fun reads. Checking out yours next.

That child at 4:19 is remarkably calm given his circumstances.
His aunt’s just being silly.
This is great horror. Every sound now makes me scared
im SOO grateful for this coz im too stupid to figure out 5999 on my own LMAO
Usually, you can find someone posting a link to an explication in the comments to the SCP.
I swear echo changed gender a couple times
Echo is just a player character that someone controls and apparently that someone changes the gender quite often lol
@@tuttuti123 Maybe Echo has no gender at all, is a hermaphrodite, or changes gender when the player switches controls to the opposite gender, assuming the're taking turns.
Gender fluid.
@@Silverwind87 type that shit in the coffee machine
How about gender gaseous? Is that the way to type it? I dunno.
Holy shit that twist with Swanns Proposal is just....... fucking amazing. I would have never thought of that, with us thinking its all connected and shit. One of the best SCPs imo from now on
*“We’ll get you next time, you half-witted trope traders!”*

The country song has to be "Its 5 o'clock somewhere" lol.

It's only half past 12, but I don't care.
It's 5 o'clock somewhere.
Almost heeaaaven.. west virginiiaaaaaa!
Lol yes
I need to compile all instances of numbers in this video.
Hold on.
@@connor48880 get iiiiiit, I believe in you fellow nerd
Thank you for apologizing for the images, as it would have otherwise both troubled and inconvenienced me greatly.
I actually love this video and often return to it. Something about the way everything fits into a ritual in such a meta way is pleasing to rediscover every time
21:12
*"It would therefore seem to suggest the chains are meant to hold something demonic*
Doom fans who are inside the SCP Univurse:**LOADS SHOTGUN WITH MALICIOUS INTENT**
Why did i listen to this at 2am im actually terrified oh my god
the doll part came up at 5am and i almost punched my screen fuck that
@@ragnor_2514 the videogame part scared me so goddamn bad oh my god. And basically every single death. When he showed the video, i had to look away and take off my headphones i was WAY to scared already
@@ragnor_2514 holy crap ikr! that freaking doll face scared me to hell and back!
been having non stop chills for 20 fucking minutes
It's 2am here as well and my entire house is dead quiet, and it's completely dark. Safe to say, i won't sleep tonight. Especially thanks to that last candle.
This used to be called “seven” during the contest
36:00
I noticed some parallels to the Hanged King in part 4, such as the nooses attached to the hanging bodies extending farther than can be seen.
So here I am listening to this video to go to sleep for like the umpteenth time since release. Thanks for having such an awesome voice and narration style. I've even tried listening to some of your larger readings like "Haunter in the Dark" but I always wind up falling asleep because of the mellow reading pace and voice (Did finish a couple though). Keep up up the great work, look forward to adding more videos to my bedtime playlist
So. The MTF with the callsign “D” is the first to die. Hmmm.....
Epsilon was the first to die
Epsilon is the first to dissappear
Epsilon was found in advanced stages of decay
Epsilon is the 5th letter keeping to the 5 theme
Technically speaking, it can be said that Charlie died first, since they disappeared first and were already dead by the time they are found
I really appreciate what you do, TES. Taking lore and info from a variety of sources and telling it in an easily understandable and peaceful way that makes for great bed time stories. Your videos have become a part of my life now
Fantastic work. As compared to other videos you've done, this one actually left me fearful and with chills down my spine.
10/10, I deeply desire more like this
"Throw the thing in the box and move on"
Sad 066 noises
that moment when the ad is on point with the video, (chrome book ad where multiple people are saying "Im dying.")
You. Got lucky, I only got dumb ones like Imperial Motion or something for chobani oat.
I still don't know how to feel about these more story-driven writing styles. While they are obviously well-written and conveys valuable information to keep the SCP headcannon in general going, I miss SCPs that are self-contained, without long logs, stories, and cross-references. It is a bit like 'power-creep' where once you have one SCP that's unfairly packed with a story-worth of information, all the other simple SCPs loses their appeal in comparison, and future authors' hands are 'forced' to comply to this new level of information and length.
Well, for one I just tend to focus on those types as they make for longer videos. And two, the big contest entries are just more likely to have authors go all out in length and complexity.
@@TheExploringSeries Reasonable. I am not saying I don't enjoy these longer, more complex and story-driven SCPs -- That would be lying, I love these. It's just when I read these SCPs I am constantly reminded flipping through pages and reading metal trees that grows strange things and omni-potent medicines and leviathans. Those left me with a feeling of 'WOW that's strange, I wonder what's up with the next one.' Obviously both have their own merits.
P.S. thank you so much for your works, I mainly listen your exploration podcasts on the go. It's been some time now since I started listening, and it is enjoyable all the way.
DONT LISTEN TO THIS GUY AND PERCOPHONE PERCOLATER WHATEVER THE B;LOODY HELL THAT HANDLE IS UP THERE JUST BECAUSE U HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN OF A 5 YR OLD DONT SCREW THE REST OF US WHO LOVE THE LONG ONE MR.EXPLORING SERIES YOU ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST!!!!!
Except there are still plenty of self-contained ones. They don't need to be explored though, because they are short, sweet, and self-contained. How can you not see the inherent logical flaw in what you said?
@@klauswinchester306 what the fuck is wrong with you, thats a completely legitimate opinion. the original SCPs were short, snappy and mysterious, so its okay if someone likes that style over this one. control yourself.
Not only I love the details in the audio. I also really enjoy the art slides
can i just say.... every photo hit the mood perfectly, spooky and right on point, BUT as soon as i saw "fatal frame crimson butterfly" photo @ 34:07, it felt like it was a big hug from my past... thank you for that moment. ok, continue.
I gotta stop listening to these when im walking home alone at night from work...
Why? They aren't creepy or anything
50:38 for those who have already read the article and just want the explanation.
Bastard
Thank you so much, I didn't have the stomach for the video.
for a moment there i thought that was the timestamp to the memetic agent
i thoroughly enjoyed this video, it was spooky, and i had no trouble picturing the scenes. i ended up spooped to leave rooms and stuff for a bit.
The ending is like "Alright who let Eddie out again"
*Listens to this alone in the apartment at night.
Recognizes the picture at 8:18 as my home city of Baia Mare...
...(chuckles) I'm in danger...*
That moment he mentioned "Spirals"
Junji Ito - Uzumaki
I literally cannot think of anything else except Junji Ito's Uzumaki when someone mentions spirals. Help.
You either go Gurren Lagann or you go Uzumaki
@@divinationsystem SCP-001 proposal was called spirals i think
Im gonna be totally hones right now, your content is amazing and helps me do work while hearing your voice and reading SCP documents.
I love this sco mainly for the fact that it puts one of the scp 001 proposals into a visible form showing the efforts of the foundation and how they can think around the problem
