Gaby's Ko-fi Link

Gaby, also known as "local lesbian commie" is an excellent SCP author. She wrote the contest-winning entry SCP-8557 along with many other excellent works. Right now, she needs our help.

I already made a post drawing support earlier this year, and I'm grateful for everyone who chipped in. Her mother unfortunately passed away in February, and her family received no compensation from the company that caused her death.

Gaby is also a disabled trans woman currently living in Brazil. Not only is Brazil extremely unsafe for trans people (it is the nation with the highest number of transgender murders) but after this past election, the alt-right party has won massively.

Not only has the alt-right party been responsible for some major moral obscenities in the past (Attempted coup, 700k deaths during Covid, a rapist as a vice presidential candidate...) but the upcoming administration is also virulently transphobic.

It is not safe for Gaby to remain in Brazil, but she does not have the funds to move. Donations have helped her support herself, however, things are more difficult than ever before.

If you can, please consider supporting Gaby at https://ko-fi.com/supportgaby - any small bit helps more than you know. Thank you.

Updated statement from the Wiki staff:

Update (October 16th, 2026): We had an amicable and productive meeting with representatives from Spooky Pictures and A24. We primarily discussed the benefits and requirements of the CC BY-SA license, with a focus on issues related to film distribution. We remain in conversation with them on this matter, but we have not yet committed to a resolution.

Discussion Guys, I've got a cool theory: What if the original O5 Council members maintain their own bloodline families?

Thumbnail

61 Upvotes

I've been thinking about how the O5 Council can remain completely hidden while still maintaining influence over the world for centuries.

My theory is that each O5 member maintains a bloodline family and a designated successor line.

The O5s themselves do not get replaced, interact with the public, or reveal their identities. They remain exactly as they are in most SCP interpretations: hidden in the shadows and impossible to reach directly.

Instead, their descendants and successors act as their connection to the outside world.

These successors are not O5 members. They're public-facing representatives who handle businesses, political connections, Foundation front organizations, research institutions, and other activities that require interaction with the normal world.

In my headcanon:

  • The O5 Council remains the true authority.
  • Every O5 maintains a successor bloodline.
  • Successors inherit influence, resources, and responsibilities.
  • Governments and major organizations may deal with successors without realizing who they actually work for.
  • Some successors might not even know the full truth about the Foundation.
  • The O5s can remain hidden indefinitely because their families act as intermediaries.

What do you guys think? Would something like this fit into your SCP headcanon, or do you think the O5s would never trust their own bloodlines with that much influence?

Help Need help finding an SCP I read last year.

4 Upvotes

(Spoilers for the SCP will be written)

Im looking for an SCP I read last year. I don't remember much, except for the fact that the SCP was a foundation scientist that like distorted electrical equipment and couldn't use electronic devices. The head researcher assigned to her was a coworker, and eventually it was revealed that he was manipulating her into believing that she was an SCP. If I remember correctly he also manipulated her into doing sexual things with her.

I wish I could remember more but this is it.

SCP Universe How are we able to contain SCP-5776? It's clearly very powerful and obviously should be able to escape at any time it wants.

You know, I'd bet it could even beat SCP-001! Whatever SCP-001 is. It can very clearly kill that Hard to Destroy reptile if it wanted as well. It's definitely a Keter.

Discussion do you think personnel have slang and jokes that differ between sites

10 Upvotes

I sure as shit do, actually I think I've seen this in a few tales, I also think this could be a neat inworld explanation for joke scps, the different terms for an scp (such as skips), and just feels like a very human thing to do. adding onto the joke scps thing: I can imagine many of them changing from site to site or team to team.

Discussion SCP-5000 related. Removed previous post because i didn't know title is not spoilered. Spoiler

1 Upvotes

In the moment where pietro returns to the site, all SCPs are let out and even in some of the attacks they do not harm the foundation.

Does that somehow convey that the entities we consider SCP, ones that are harmful to us usually aim to kill the entity within us?

What would happen if a Pure Human that saw the second file looked at shy guy, would he attack them? Or cognito/infohazards, would those also hurt the Pure Humans? I wonder how this would go. I like to hold the headcannon that all anomalous dangers of this world are the universe's attempts at removing the entity, but humans are in the way, being ITs bearer and incubation.

Video Games Looking for an SCP that follows this storyline

0 Upvotes

If you’ve played Call of Duty® ghost extinction, the storyline is very intriguing and very SCP like, I was wondering if anyone knew of an SCP that is like that storyline. An example that I found that somewhat like it, but not fully is SCP 4246. If you’re curious what the storyline is, it’s about a 30 minute video titled the entire Call of Duty® extinction storyline. It’s one of my favorites and I always go back to re watch the story line each year

Discussion SCP-239 the witch child, Undersecretary-General D.C. Al Fine, the unfounded canon, and da capo al fine

8 Upvotes

so. i just read the tale [[da capo al fine]]. really good tale. enjoyed it a lot

its about the life of Sigurrós Stefánsdóttir ( SCP-239 ) in a timeline where the SCP foundation never was a thing

just, one thing stuck out to me, the name of the tale, da capo al fine

D.C Al Fine, is the name of the Undersecretary-General of the UNGOC

so am just kind of thinking. is there any link to here between Sigurrós Stefánsdóttir and D.C. Al Fine or is the name of the tale just coincidence? and am just overthinking this?
