Rainbow Serpent: "Yes, my fellow Aboriginals! I have come to save you!"
Aboriginal Australians: "Hooray! It's the Rainbow Serpent!"
Rainbow Serpent: *_"FROM YOURSELVES!!"_*
Aboriginal Australians: "Oh no, it's the Rainbow Serpent!"
AHHH I see what you did there!
You gotta really wonder if the Rainbow Serpent has its own legion of looney crusaders who are too crazy even for the most ardent environmentalists to accept. PETA's an easy bet...
TFS is awesome
😂😂😂😂😂
Lovely reference
I like how the foundation shot a laser powered by orphan souls at this thing and it only kind of worked.
If only they had used more orphans, it might have worked. 😂
I have a feeling that while orphans are likely very common in the SCP universe, orphans with a soul are a valuable (and thus rare) commodity
@@user-zh4vo1kw1z is there a big market for orphan souls in the scp universe?
does it really say that the mongoose was orphan powered? just finished hearing the video and didn't caught it
I am so lost. Is this all based off a game or something? I was just reading about a weapon in a game where they had to sacrifice a child in order to fire it. Why am I learning about guns that require a child sacrifice today 😂😂😂
Serendipity.
I feel like the reason Scp-6004 mainly avoided attacking foundation sites was that in a way the foundation is “maintaining” the environment by preventing anomalies from wreaking havoc, as the serpent consistently avoided destroying environmental friendly organizations.
Wished the story went into detail on that. It avoided said organizations but the mass death it caused kinda made the former null and void. I would've also like to see how everyday people were taking in the situation. Did some people begin worshipping out of fear or some being genuine as the snake cleaned up garbage that screws with their livelihoods or holy sites? That sort of thing would be awesome.
Holy shit. This thing is like a Legendary Pokemon with a really dark Pokedex entry.
From the jump, all I've been able to think is that this thing is just Rayquaza
@@actualturtle2421I thought of Dragonair’s gen 1 card description. The aura and how its mood affects the weather.
Wouldn't it be just the Snake form of Zygarde? From Gen 6 i believe, With Zygarde being the order and protector of Nature and the balance between Creation (Xerneas) and destruction (Yveltal). Maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't the rainbow serpent one of the inspirations for Zygarde?
"You're getting a renewed ecosystem and YOU ARE GOING TO LIKE IT"
this one is a breath of fresh air for me. i just binged all of the admonition articles, so hearing "big snake vomits humans turned animals" is refreshing
it is very hard to get this kind of stories right. It is easy for the story to be too lecturing, or politically charged, or boring, or disengaging because the monster is too powerful. This SCP strikes a near perfect balance in my opinion. Somehow reminds me of Mewtwo
1:07 "And it's this motive that The Foundation is going to have to contemplate as they engage in warfare with it."
Giant Danger Noodle: "A war implies both sides stand an equal chance of winning."
Out of all the "end of the world" events, this one is actually kinda nice... For the planet anyway.
The survivors got their work cut out and i feel like the SCP foundation would have an easier time if the didnt make the world forget this one.
Kudos to the writer for not going too far overboard. 6004 got woken up, made a mission, completed the mission, told the SCP foundation that he better not have to wake back up, and then went back to sleep.
Like a cranky version of gaia.
Need more thoughtful SCPs like this.
Dude killed a couple billion people. That pretty overboard
Agreed, very much loved this one
Earth is lost, it's better to relocate to other planets, than to put up with serpent bs.
@@soosoo4u
The Serpent in only concerned with the stability of the Earth, we are at best standing the way of that.
The fact this was during the pandemic (March 2020 was mentioned) and I remember hearing that due to less pollution animals were returning to rivers really hits something in me
SCP’s version of Captain Planet… reduce pollution down to zero… or else…
Nearly first, it’s 3am. I have to wake up at 6. What am I doing with my life.
Edit: Today was the first day back from winter break, I just got back from class and I’m sleeping down. Cheers, and thank you TES for giving us such good insomnia fuel.
go to bed
me too
Same
me too
Life is so short. Dont take everything so serious brother. Live a litte. Give some shits and enjoy the good. Get through the bad. And just take care of your family and all around. One love brother. Go to sleep now and go with the flow. Good luck in life. Peace.
The thing I found craziest about this SCP is a lack of some type of cult or followers once the veil was broken. Given environmentalists today are doing everything they can to try and prevent our own apocalypse I imagine that if a scenario like this were to occur, some type of group would form to try and appease the Serpent.
You’re forgetting just how delusional environmentalists these days are. Most of them are puppets/mouthpieces for organizations that need a good looking front for scams, some are too deluded to even look at any real data let alone interpret it rationally, and the few good ones out there are so jaded because of their dumbass contemporaries that they’d be more likely to jump down the snake’s throat than want to even try convincing people to appease it.
Let's be fair, most environmentalists would pour oil into the ocean while burning tires the second they became inconvenienced. Hell the just stop oil group still wear synthetic fibers, use plastic utensils, have modern phones and computers, etc. Sure some people are genuinely trying, but most of the people who fly that flag just took a real problem and made it into a fairy tale boogeyman that won't inconvenience yhem
@@Bruh-lq7ev the signal do be virtuing
Let's be honest. The oil industry extracting the resource and the production of materials from it is accelerating global warming. This isn't a hoax or any kind of virtue signal. The oil industry *needs* to be stopped.
Imagine thinking modern day environmentalist actually care about the environment. You guys keep acting like the world is about to turn into Venus or something when there’s literally no evidence for that type of situation. Climate change is natural regardless and it’ll take millions of years for the climate to shift dramatically enough to be a threat to humanity.
I love that this one mentions Canberra Australia as it's my home town. Makes no sense really as it's a tiny town that happens to have parliament. Mostly because Sydney and Melbourne couldn't get there shit together and agree what one was less shit.
I'm so sorry you have to live in Canberra.
@@AspenBrightsoul it's not too bad, sometimes we get sunshine
That's the point. Canberra being a backwater town compared to Sydney or Melbourne meant that neither Sydney or Melbourne gets to boss the National Government...
As as australian I can confirm these events did infact occur but I didn't know it was due to an scp, they must have done a good job covering it up.
Or.. I spend too much time indoors.
Also it's Can-Bruh not Can-Berrah.
Fun fact, in the dreamtime the aborigonals once witnessed a supernova :3
Fun fact
I like how this skip handled things. The Serpent was mere acting as a strong incentive and partially undoing issues. The Foundation, after barely getting the issue under control (even though it was just because Serpent decided to stop), said “Yeah we get the moral”. I would like it less if the Serpent was a bit more indiscriminately genocidal and the Foundation a bit less genre savvy.
Also snek.
It is coo out with the Foundation planning to erase everyone's memories thus learning other overall lesson kinda pointless. It would be sweet if the Foundation and everyone else take the message to heart. Also humanity learning to cope with the other SCPs would be better in the long run.
I love it when mythical creatures are incorporated into the SCP universe
Vengeful nature SCPs are some of the best to read or hear about.
As an Australian, this was very interesting to listen to. The idea that this snake decided screw it, i'ma restart life.
always nice to start the morning with some SCP goodness
This shit ain't new,,, Ahey Exploring Series, y'all fucking up
@@barryjohnson7183 ?
This isn't new,, rainbow serpent came out last year,,all they did here was merge both parts and and posted this , 😩
@@barryjohnson7183 That's a fair point but it's still technically new content because it's now both parts merged together.
Op is just happy about starting a morning with a video, does it really matter?
Some scps you can learn about and get a clear idea of the authors general ideological outlook and political leanings. This scp is one of those
It’s 100% political. Leftist, far left environmentalist.
Kazinsky wrote this one
I mean maybe a bit but also it's not really political to just observe how much we've destroyed the environment. I don't think being able to look out a window or do a bit of reading makes someone a pot smoking hippy communist
"Fuck you" unchanges the climate
I feel that skips like this should be in different categories and not an SCP by itself. This isn't a procedure, but an alternative history of the Foundation.
Finally somebody that thinks this way. I thought I was the only one. In all honesty the SCP wiki should have made a "non-canon" section for articles like this.
@@user-gs5hj4mc7h doesn't matter, there is no canon anyways
@@an_insomniacc If there was a "non-canon" section then there could actually BE a canon, like how RPC does it.
@@user-gs5hj4mc7hthe whole point of the scp wiki is that what is and is not canon is up to the readers interpretation. An established canon would ruin massive elements of the scp universe
@@VarietyArc What elements? A proper non-canon section would allow articles like this one to still be made, alternate universes like the broken masquerade could be in a different category. I can't come up with any negative consequences from making an actual canon, I just see the major positive of being able to actually build a cohesive universe and the ability to tell more compelling stories because authors can't just make up whatever they want and retort with "there's no canon brah!".
Also slop articles that are actually tales in disguise wouldn't be tolerated in the main canon section almost certainly, which would be a massive boon to the writing quality of the website.
China: "Wait, are we the bad guys?"
USA: "Always have been."
Giant Danger Noodle: "Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!"
Even though it’s just a compilation of already narrated SCPs, I’m still glad you don’t forget about us even during your vacation!
Ooo yes, Aussie Myth is so underrated!!
Mother nature is angry
Hol up, let my giant rainbow boi cook, this is kinda fire for a earth update
I personally wouldnt like being turned into a kangaroo but you do you I guess
@@alphatoomega7949 kangaroo's don't have to pay taxes or work minimum wage jobs
@@real_Clone_Gordon_Freeman yk what good point, but I'd rather just move to a cabin in the mountains and live of the grid
One of my favorite SCPs. Very well written and, of course, as always amazingly narrated. Great to see the full story released
Huge fan of this series it's so much fun to listen to while working outside in the dark of alaska's winter
This is perhaps my favorite SCP as an environmental science major
Im a huge fan when the real world is mixed in with the world of SCP
"THIS WORLD DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU. YOU BELONG TO IT."
Of course the serpent hates hydroelectric dams, nuclear power plants, and gentrification... *sigh* great concept and solid execution otherwise.
Why shouldn't it? As long as the environmental impact is above zero it has reason to destroy it.
Not... really though? The nuclear power plants were mostly left alone, it was the destruction of the U.S. government's chain of command that led to the near failure of the nuclear power plants. And of course it hates dams and gentrification it was trying to return the earth to how it was before human settlement, prioritzing the most harmful settlements first.
You know many of those damns are the reason many species went extinct right?
The nuclear power plant part you may have a point on.
What do you mean by gentrification?
Okay I take it back. The snake attacked a Russian nuclear processing plant that didn't seemed to up to code and considering it's Russia that plant was likely used to make bombs.
@@fhwkeifuenw Please explain to me how Gentrification has a measurable impact on the environment above baseline human society? The serpent should be rampaging across China and Australia, not smashing up suburban neighbourhoods. Unless the Serpent was born in Seattle, it should have a better understanding of which human activity is actually destroying the planet.
I’m sure there is some sort of massive anomalous Makhinite Mongoose we can throw at the dam thing, just ask the church of the broken god lol
It feels like it's been a long holiday, I love these scp readings/interpretations!
You make the sunday malaise so much more bearable my friend!
19:40 they saw wild life but were they able to see the highly elusive drop bear?
Iv been watching you since you only had like 20 spc videos I can't believe it's over 300 now you are the person who got me instrented in spc lore I really appreciate all the great videos over the years thank you very much man
I didnt realize he had so many shark punching center videos where are they I cannot find them
Wole up in the middle of the night, just so i can listen to this to put me to sleep. One of my favorite channels
As soon as I heard the serpent made a point of attacking Rushcutters' Bay, I knew what the author was going for. Nothing of value was lost with the destruction of Rushcutters Bay lol
I’m writing a World of Darkness game with this as the central story.
Foreal? It's sounds intresting
@@specterman603 yep. It’s mostly from the perspective of the Fera, with some contact with Gangrel Vampirea and a nod towards the Technocracy.
@@catshepherd3102 what style of game is it? Like 3d or interactive novel or...?
@@specterman603pencil and paper, dice rolled on a tabletop, actually seeing the people you game with.
Lots of fun as it's very story-based, but does require a very skilled gamemaster and several players.
@@ashleg8350 ahh lol sorry, I also play tabletop so I should have made that distinction
I really needed this tonight. Thank you!
A glorious ride my man! Never looked into this one until now
This is one of my favs thanks
Love this one, glad to see it in two posts.
Great article but i hate when people with environmentalist views speak badly about hunting
Hunters put more money into conservation than anyone else and spend more time in nature than most
Ohhh this’ll be fun!
Thank you for the refresher... Day-in-day-out, remembering the good that came of it... 🐉🐲🦖
One of my favorites
Listening to this for the second time today. I just watched Godzilla Minus One and now I’m on a kaiju kick 😂 Great job as always!
You go Rainbow serpent, jack humans
Not asking me to "smash those like and subscribe buttons" is classy. I love this channel. Thank you.
Just listened to the whole thing again and I think I like it even more now.
The details on the serpents focus on animal agriculture, unsafe nuclear facilities and that the snake wasn't trying to externinate humanity just push it to a sustainable state actually make this a much more intelligently made story than what's to be expected from a nooby tree hugger.
The world's reaction to the thing's attacks are also well done. From China's desperate knee jerk last stand to the Foundation use of the ominous project mongoose make a great contrast to what the snake has been up to.
My one gripe that everyone's memories are eventually going to be erased practically ensuring that no lesson is learned and history will inevitably repeat itself. Also other SCPs should've active participants in this situation.
Based snake does based things
Don't forget to take a break for you bro you deserve it
Welp, I guess we finally know what happened to Site 19 in our dimension
Thank you sir!
I wonder if the Serpents Hand’s Kaijumancers could help.
Bro straight up released part one a year ago and I’m pump for a extra 40 minutes to the revision that is this iteration
Thanks for this.
I'm shoveling off some docks for work this is just the type of thing I needed to pass the time
Ayyyy my boy strikes again!!!!
Crazy how many people don't know that this happened
I hate how. Even on a large scale disaster, they decide to bap everyone's memories.
You would think they would let society remember this one creature, and the risks of environmental destruction.
Would make the whole "influence of humanity" thing far easier.
Yep.
I watched this during class fell asleep this is to good
This needs to be a kiju movie
I said it once and I'll say it again. Thank you for using actual artists works in your videos.
Didn't like the story. It's message is too... I don't know how to put this. Forward? To the point? Like, I get it, enviromentalistic serpent, but the story is too long for its own good.
Yeah, the Foundation tried to stop it, but I would have like specific numbers to be thrown at that thing, not newly constructed "super-laser-pisses"... I think with a global anomaly like this it would benefit the story to say that it exist as a "6004" in a world with other "6003" anomalies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, timelines, canons, but still.
The narration is as good as always, it's just I guess that people tend to comment more on things they dislike...
Hope that new audiobooks will come out soon
Heavy handed
Best content on YT🎉❤
SCP 6004: "Let me show you how I change climate"
Finally good hear an Australian SCP.
Leaving a like and a spare comment for the usual support.
Eight minutes after posting. I need to fix my sleep schedule, but this is interesting and I don’t want to
Let's go 00:00
Just in time for cooking Lunch bay beee!! 😀
Time to wash rice to the tunes of the serpent. 🌈🐍
Man your narrations are awesome, wish I could listen to your podcast on yt music, can you please make them available there 🥺
If I had to join an MTF, the "Jaeger Bombers" sound like a good time.
Best snake.
Nothing like a J and a good SCP to kick off the early worm's morning :)
OK technically because of timezones and shit I'm watching this 2hours after upload.
Wooooo lets goo big snek
I doubt the foundation would have been unable to defeat this. It was a ok story but leaned a bit into the greenpeace shit. Im gonna write some scps myself. See how they take off
The coolest snake ever, and it's a dang tree hugger! 🌳
this was great cos Australia, but it would of been much better if the art had of matched the Australian setting. like when it attacked Canberra/ parliament house would of been nice to see some stills of that.
So, let me get this straight. The Rainbow Serpent woke up, wiped out BILLIONS of people, sent 99% of civilization back to the dark ages,
and the story then tries to end on: _'Well, the Foundation is gonna take better care of the planet now~!'_
Just... what?
We need this snake
14:08 Damn I wonder my suburb would have been untouched during this attack in the Capital?
I'm sure my house woulda been fine, I'd probably throw a couple snags on the barbie and enjoy the show tbh.
But it seems like the rainbow snake is just clearing up an infestation ngl, then it'll make it's way back to the dream time cuz.
I read the title to this and my first thought ran to SMT's Yurlungr and Ananta. 😂
I love can-bear-ah. It's a great place.
There's only one solution for earth's pollution
Ok, amazing video, WHAT DID YOU CALL GIDORAH?
Gee-der-ah
This seems like a good time to bring out shy guy, Kane, and the impossible to kill reptile. The latter having such a hatred of life seeming to be the serpents true enemy.
LETS GOOOOOO
Is this different from the world serpent? I have also heard it called the burp serpent.
Captain Planet Dragon???
I'm going freaking crazy which SCP is it where like 173 is a beautiful art structure and the unkillable lizards chill out in there own lil nature area? I can't for the life of me remember and im gonna go NUTS
SCP-6001 - Avalon
Captain Planet was PISSED
Weewooo! WEEEWOOOO!
The Serpent really said "End Civ."
Perfict timeing like always its like he knows wen were gona go to bed
