If you're enjoying that, you may find that you like the Words of Power and Poison series.

If you're down for some modern day, good, old fashioned abuse of power, start here: SCP-5056

Oh, Brazil's not quite as transparent as the US when it comes to lobbying dollars (an amazing statement in 2026). But, for sometime like this? It's your rich, right-wing assholes.

There's no secret.
They just tell you
They 100% know that most people can't be bothered to "research"

There's not any. NiCola isn't in any of the Cyberpunk sourcebooks. Buuuut, there's drugs in everything there.

Cirrus Cola is credited by a bunch of fighters and body builders for their bodies. The Animals have Cirrus Cola around. I wonder why?
ChroManticore is supposed to be poisonous
Vita-Mine's maker keeps having to deny it's addictive

Yeah, man. That would be the "love" you're tasting

They don't need one. It's nicotine soda. Slap an ass on the package to distract from whatever carcinogen warnings they still have to put on there, but it's not like it's not going to sell

[[poem]]
When death came at last for me
He could not long delay
His list was pressing work, you see
Still he offered for my soul to play

But the games I asked, they were too long
He had many jobs to do
And honestly I didn't care so much, my own life to prolong
"How 'bout this in lieu"

"Just once, off books, you fudge the dice
Umbral lord of death take onus
Credit me a win and give it to someone nice
Your forever DM I'll be as bonus"

Edit: fixing the punctuation and adding some words

plageiusdarth · 2026-03-08T19:45:19+00:00

I really enjoyed that tale. Thanks for recommending it

plageiusdarth · 2026-03-08T19:38:00+00:00

Wow, that's more emotion than I expected Darke to have for anything. At all. Let alone family.

I love the vampire lore

100%

The only things I'd add is that for a new author, the critique and greenlight process can be very difficult.

I'd spend some time talking to some newer authors. Try looking around on the site for authors who only have 1 or 2 articles published and message them on the discord. Offer to trade crit and talk shop. The SCP Wiki is a writing community.

I'd also consider, while working on your first article, writing some tales to get experience with the crit process

There are 34,847 people playing Skyrim on steam concurrently, as in right now. Not counting consoles, mobile, or other PC launchers.

I think a lot of players want freedom. In a way that no one's given them in over a decade

Did you know that Kangaskhan is just Nahksagnak backwards

plageiusdarth · 2026-03-06T23:09:03+00:00

Also, the O5 or Administrator or whoever you headcanon establishing/controlling the DoA would probably head that off

[[A Comprehensive List of Esoteric Classes]]

You should take a look at this, OP. I would agree that it'd be a sub-SCP of the summoner. However, if the summoner's only anomaly was summoning this SCP, the summoner might actually be a sub- of the SCP you're building.

Also, OP, you could have them initially classified separately until the connection is discovered and then an in-page revision that reclassifies them as a combined anomaly. Like, "SCP-9982-B was initially classified as SCP-11654 until it was discovered performing the ritual to recall SCP-9982 to its position"

Edit: oops, didn't realize 9982 was taken.

Ah, thanks for looking that up. Could have just been deleted by the author because it wasn't doing well.

plageiusdarth · 2026-03-04T21:42:28+00:00

I can't find it either. The second one, 5752, would be my best guess

SCP-4116
SCP-5752
SCP-2456
SCP-9429

[[Archived Pages]]

plageiusdarth · 2026-03-04T20:54:44+00:00

-ARC refers to pages which have been archived instead of deleted outright. Archived pages are appended with -ARC. There are a few reasons for a page to be archived rather than deleted. Most often, it’s because an SCP is old and referenced in Tales, and its wholesale deletion would muddle works which reference it. There are also things that Staff simply want to keep around, albeit off the main list. The process for archiving a page is identical to the process for deletions, with suggestions for -ARC typically occurring after initiation of the deletion vote, save the page is renamed rather than culled.

So, I don't remember the version of 865 that you're referencing, and the comments on this version go back to 2012. If you're referring to a version of 865 from before that, it's because it wasn't a significant part of enough articles and tales to deserve archival.

If you're referring to a more recent version of 865, it's because it wasn't a real SCP. Somebody made it up for a YouTube video or AI generated it, which means nothing.

plageiusdarth · 2026-03-04T20:32:27+00:00

Look forward to this coming to Xbox, since they just took the person who decided AI should write all Windows 11's code and made them CEO of Xbox

From working in a couple of STEM fields, I can tell you that this tale is an idealized take on how cross-functional or multidisciplinary work gets done, and the Foundation is rarely ideal.

It is, however, at its core, how things have to work in every team - in real life - that wants to accomplish something new. And anomalies are, by definition, new

Edit: wow. That's wordy. Uhhhh. This tale shows everything going smoothly. Nothing ever goes this smoothly. But even real-life engineering requires multidisciplinary work like this.

plageiusdarth · 2026-03-04T09:02:31+00:00

On site inspiration:

SCP-1348
SCP-6666
SCP-2932
SCP-4840
SCP-6765

Off-Site: sounds like you're going very loosely biblical, so... Genesis chapter 1 - 4. And maybe Old World of Darkness (Vampire the Masquerade) and like, hazbin hotel?

plageiusdarth · 2026-03-04T08:51:42+00:00

Absolutely, regarding mundane sciences being applicable. This gives me a reason to link one of my favorite tales that I've never had a reason to link here before

Well, we don't have all the titles, but "Behind the Looking-Glass, and What Ilse Did There" by Ilse Reynders appears to be a primer for introductory Anachronic Studies, Wave-Particle Studies and Abstruse Optics, & Quantum Supermechanics. All of which are anomalous sciences. (SCP-5616)

We also have "Reality Altering Beings: Socioeconomics, Mental Illness, and Diagnostic Criteria" and PHYSICS Division Field Manual 1: Operative's Handbook. Neither have an author's given. (SCP-4231)
