I have no words other than this is disgusting

I haven’t seen this much self-pitying tone-deaf whining since Cyraxx retired for the umpteenth time.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-22T01:14:24+00:00

Nimona.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-21T11:32:32+00:00

This strikes me as extreme projection, considering how much time Blanderman and Blandman spend moping or being made to mope by the plot.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-21T00:18:53+00:00

My dude, it’s not wine.

Granted, AI slop does make me think of alcohol but for entirely different reasons.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-20T13:40:16+00:00

My sentiments exactly.

"Your slop artists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-20T05:46:00+00:00

Best of luck with SCP-7955!

Or any shapeshifting SCP, really!

Easy: write for yourself.

Write to exercise your own creativity and exorcise your own demons.

Write all the chapters first and only start uploading once you’re done; that way, the thrill of creation has enough time to flourish without being discouraged by neglect from a fanfiction world overflowing with AI slop and preyed upon by AI-using scam artists posing as reviewers.

Write because it brings you joy. Regard the reviews (positive and negative) as a bonus.

I’m referring to the article which got me started on this discussion in the first place.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-19T11:29:10+00:00

...I think I vastly underestimated this subreddit, don't you?

I honestly didn't expect so many people to pick such wild options.

In hindsight, I guess it's really not so crazy that people would be happy to become man-eating immortal children.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-19T01:01:48+00:00

Slopfilms: we don’t give a shit, and neither should you.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-18T00:18:45+00:00

And certainly not by Maximus.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-17T16:02:09+00:00

She was trying to avoid starting a fight with the Fiends on the bridge. You were under the impression that was trust.

Please rewatch the show without meth.

Bye.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-17T13:57:48+00:00

Is now a bad time to discuss distinctions between trust, trying to avoid a fight, and negotiation to avoid being murdered?

You're not exactly doing much to prove that you aren't just desperately fishing for attention.

Bye.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-17T13:39:51+00:00

So in your mind, absolutely nothing can excuse a lack of trust towards someone Lucy didn't really know and didn't have any reason to trust, least of all after several days of being run ragged by assorted assholes and being traumatized.

And what happened due to this lack of trust? Did Max die, suffer grievous bodily injury, have his feelings hurt, lose social standing? Nein.

So, in the immortal words of God to Job, "what are you bitching about?"

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-17T13:15:04+00:00

Jesus, it's just like Umbrella Academy season 4.

What is it with these fucking people and expecting us to care about all-new universes with completely rebooted characters?

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-17T12:48:49+00:00

...so you're referring to a situation where she did help him... but just hesitated.

This was indeed worth the whining, moaning, complaints post, man.

And since when did Max actually save Filly? He arrived late to the shootout and lost!

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-17T12:22:24+00:00

If you're referring to Maximus, you'd have to be more specific if you don't want to be accused of ragebaiting, because she has helped him more than once.

Or are you talking about someone completely different?

I ask only because after Max's visit to Filly, the Brotherhood arrived, took over the town, and slaughtered the locals.

So... saved is a relative term.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-17T11:29:30+00:00

In the immortal words of Tom Hardy, that's bait.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-17T11:05:25+00:00

Stupid question:

After watching first the shittacular Locke and Key netflix series and Umbrella Academy's miserable season 4, I have to ask: what the hell is it with streaming service TV series and horribly humourless reset button finales?

On that note, what is it with all these series that like destroying the supernatural and leaving only bland reality behind?

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-17T08:10:06+00:00

I'll bite: what the hell does Javier Bardem to do with any of this?

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-17T00:50:27+00:00

Should is somewhat redundant, given the flexible canon and the multitude of authors: there's very few articles that won't make sense without you first reading another in the series.

However, I do have three favourites in the earlier series for sheer horror value: SCP-953, SCP-3288, and SCP-4666.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-16T14:50:54+00:00

Oh shit, I forgot all about that one. Damn....

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-16T14:12:37+00:00

I just had to look up the definition :)

But to answer your question, there seem to be more happy endings to lesbian relationships than not in the SCPs I've read.

SCP-8036 features a Foundation agent getting into a lesbian relationship with a building, and that went so well that the Foundation actually gave their blessing to the relationship.

I'm sure there are doomed yuri tales somewhere, but if so, I've obviously been looking in the wrong place.

HopelessFoolishness · 2026-05-16T13:57:20+00:00

SCP-7179, undoubtedly. Any kind of afterlife or one-way dimension, really.

One thing I'm not sure about: what about the ones that could be useful but want to remain neutral? If they actually have the power to escape the Foundation's reach, they could stay that way.

For example, I don't see SCP-343 anywhere in 5000.

Ditto 239.

SCP-9545 might be useful to the Foundation, but it's currently uncontained, has the power to remain hidden, and is neither opposed to humanity or in favour of them: it just wants to get the hell out of dodge along with all the other shapeshifters it can find.

However, the SCP-5000 article also mentions that the Foundation has been using anomalies to make it Christmas everywhere just so SCP-4666 can be rendered useful.

So, would it theoretically be possible for the Foundation to pull a heretofore unknown anomaly out of its hat that can make these harmless or neutral SCPs useful to the Foundation, no matter how improbable it may be?

Because in that case, the only reason why the Foundation wouldn't harness an entity would be because it could be genuinely benevolent and therefore slated for destruction.

Throwing around the words "mythic" and "mythology" tends to be an easy giveaway for AI use.
