      Spoo Dadoo Maybe the angler fish got there as the result of a massive flux of reality resulting in the same kind of unstable black hole that sent Robert Scranton to The Red Reality. Whether the result of a civilization from its home realm messing with powers beyond their capabilities or because of a dimension warping disaster, it resulted in the Town under the lantern in the void.

      I feel like the high quality comes from his practice in being an amazing narrator rather than the time it takes to produce the videos. Not that it doesnt take considerable time to edit the videos he does but compare it with The Volgun for instance (him and the exploringseries are my favorite scp readers) which follows a format that requires a lot more editing

      SCP 5006 // Object Class : Safe
      Special Containment Procedures : At this time SCP 5006 can not be contained.
      Description : SCP 5006 is an anomalous online event that can last from a few minutes, to multiple years. Additionally there may be multiple instances at one time, usually occuring on the video sharing site CZcams. Current and past anomalous occurances include, The Volgun, SCP Readings, The Eastside Show, and the current anomaly, The Exploring Series (SCP 5006-1) The anomalous properties consist of having extensive knowledge of all SCP files and documents and having an unusual upload schedule. These SCP Readings are currently not a concern under the guise of a creepypasta wiki. The main anomaly is of the unusual upload schedule which can cause discomfort or confusion. The videos themselves usually seem to be extremely entertaining to the viewer. Viewings can cause ease, comfort, and happiness.

    I mean, this is obviously allegorical. There's a pretty consistent theme here: People tend to go to that place hoping to solve the mystery of the void or be inspired by it. Those who managed to survive there are the ones who gave up on that and, perhaps intuitively, stop paying attention to the void and focus on the community. The rest become obsessed, unstable and end up killing themselves in their attempts to get close to the nothingness.
    The lantern is described as a beacon, then revealed to be a lure, which is sort of the same thing depending on what you find when you get there. Though dead, the angler fish still lures people out into the darkness to die - poets, artists and even researches. They're ones who aren't content with leaving well enough alone, the dreamers who seek meaning even to the point of self-destruction. But the fish also serves as a home for the people who only really want that - a home.
    Fun fact: Highly artistic/creative individuals are statistically more likely to suffer from mental and emotional disorders than other people (which leads to more substance abuse as well) and brilliant people in general tend towards eccentric personalities. Now consider Lamplight with that in mind.
    5005 is simply a little world in the middle of nothing, where some find a comfortable haven while others can't function, their minds rebelling against the infinite, inexplicable emptiness surrounding them.

    When in darkness one often finds themselves consumed by fear and a sense of hopelessness. But in every void of darkness is a glimmer of light of sanctuary that shines of hope, a sense of inspiration and a warming comfort. A sanctuary that one would seek and embrace without questioning how it came to be, because in the end when one is lost in the darkness, knowing that there is a light within the void is all that matters.

    ''you won't solve anything, because there's nothing to solve'' this Lumiere phrase to the Foundation agent really fascinates me. The Foundation is all about research, and artists and philosophers do dedicate themselves a lot to the big questions about life. But, there isn't much to discover about it. Existence is absurd, almost as absurd as a city build on the back of a giant anglerfish floating in the void. And yet, we are capable of atribute meaning to things. Interesting that you decided to end the video with a Nietzsche quote, many attribute him the label of nihilist, but he actually fought nihilism as a sickness of modernity. He instead proposed that we overcome nihilism, by taking control of our lives and giving existence the meaning we wanted. Those in Lamplight seems to be a reflection of this dilemma, with some devoting themselves to life in community and creative passion, and those obsessed with the void. To the latter, the ones that go into the void in search of a purpose they could not find... They get exactly the answer they already had deep inside, and fade into nothingness. It might not be a apocalyptic SCP in the literal sense like others are, but it certainly is in the matters of the inner struggle inside the human soul, of existing in a universe that it's cold and absurd, and having the will to live a life to the fullest by giving by ourselves, as a community, purpose were it is none.

    I know that this channel's coverage of SCP doesn't usually extend to tales or series of tales, but I have to recommend the Pitch Haven series that connects to 2746, because it's honestly super interesting to me, and may *actually* give answers as to what the Foundation discovered during the events of 5000 that drove them to sympathize with 682

    This one is so beautiful, and it’s connection to the mechanics mentioned in the red reality are so beautifully done. The comparison between the two, one of a single person losing themself over just a few years in darkness alone with only a single light, against a community of people living under one light together in the darkness, is such a striking and beautiful comment on the way people need each other no matter where I’m the world, the universe, or even the multiverse they come from. We could be farther from everything than anyone’s ever been, but as long as we have each other and we can create things, we can still live happily, so long as we keep our eyes on each other under what dim light we’ve been gifted.

      War Cat Studios it’s probably a mobile user. Believe me, the majority of those tiny bunches of dislikes you always see on CZcams videos are from people on the mobile youtube app, because there are a ton of ways of accidentally pressing thumbs down where it gives you no feedback that you’ve done so. I often go back to videos that I really like to find that I’ve accidentally disliked at some point.
      That’s why I’m general, those joke comments where they say “X people who disliked this are stupid” generally don’t reflect anything because the people the comment refers to never even intentionally disliked the video.
      That is, unless a video has a ratio where the likes aren’t generally outweighing the dislikes. Then it’s more likely that dislikes are intentional

    As an eccentric, fatalistic, nigh nihilistic, atavistic, anachronistic, somewhat academic and a definitely misanthropic cynic.... And probably a few more '-ics' that aren't immediately coming to mind....I truly love the idea of settling in a place like this. I'm a huge fan of frock coats, waist coats, pocket watches, top hats and all manner of Victorian nonsense. True, i might feel more comfortable on an ancient field of battle, swinging an axe into a Legionnaire's face or raiding villages and churches on the coast of Scotland with my Scandinavian ancestors, but i believe i would thrive quite well indeed, in this remote community in the literal middle of nowhere. The Cyberpunk district would have internet and free WiFi, which I'm confident i couldn't live without lol. And the rest would have the aesthetics of several different types of architecture and culture that i find peaceful and alluring. I often grow weary of modernity (all hall the Scarlet King! Joking.)and this Earth.
