You know while most rewrite creators say they want to get rid of AdminBrights influence in the fandom the truth is most of them would get nowhere with their rewrites without depending on characterBright as their backbone. Seriously most of them used the Bright tags when their rewrites were new and some still use the Bright tags even now despite people asking them not too, because they know without them their rewrites would never get any attention. Regardless of what they try to argue their rewrites are really no different from OC’s they all just use the same base and OC’s rarely get any attention on their own. So without the bright tags, 963 tags, and the rewrite tags none of them would ever be seen.

Also while some of these people will argue that Bright was just a “self-insert oc” too that’s just simply not true Bright was an actual established character with thousands of works made for him by millions of different people, and I think reducing character Bright to nothing but a “self-insert-oc” is incredibly disrespectful to all the people who put years of work into his character, these people shouldn’t be forced to change either.

There’s also the issue of all these rewrite’s shallowness because most of them lack any real depth as characters. While making characterBright shallow on Tumblr may have been fine because it was multiple people making works for one character, so a shallow work could just be accepted as another part of a deeper character written by others, that just doesn’t work for rewrites because they’re multiple people each making they’re own works for their own character with the same base. Meaning their each solely responsible for all the development, personality, and backstory that goes into their characters. Sadly most of them seem to miss the mark, they all follow the base character of Bright that was mainly used on Tumblr which in itself was an oversimplified idealistic version of the character. These rewrites lack flaws and complexity, some don’t even have backstories so I guess we’re to assume that their simply the same as Bright but with different names.

On that point what exactly makes a rewrite seems to be very confusing, there’s a list some of these creators follow to be respectful towards AB’s victims but aside from that it seems to be a free for all. Most have the same personality and backstory but simply change up the look of the character getting rid of the iconic ginger. Also yes most of these rewrites also have the possession and body hopping abilities so they also have multiple possible different looks but like Bright they also all seem to have a base body/look. Each varies in how different they are from Bright, but even the ones who stray the furthest from their base still seem to lack the depth an established character needs.

These creators are reluctant to give their characters any real flaws, while characterBright could be considered a good example of an anti-hero most of these rewrite creators want to make their characters strictly good which kind of ruins the place their supposed to hold among the other scp doctors that are not rewritten making them feel incredibly out of place. Although any character that’s not Bright is simply never going to fit in right placed among the other scp doctors unless their all rewritten as well.

None of this is to bash any rewrites but to point out why these characters feel lacking compared to Bright. When I see rewrites by even the most popular creators it still really does feel like a bunch of people playing with their own underdeveloped OC’s. Plus there’s the fact that there’s just too many of them compared to those who actually make works for these rewrites that aren’t their original creators.

Again I’m happy that these creators found something that worked for them but their solution doesn’t work for everyone and it shouldn’t be required of anyone either.

Since the conversation has turned to our favourite SCPs, allow me to introduce SCP 504; the Critical Tomatoes.

It's a normal tomato plant that, if a bad joke is aid within hearing range of it, will shoot a tomato in the direction of the voice that said it.

While testing its limits, someone made a NSFW joke and got shot by a supersonic tomato that killed them immediately.

Oversimplified SCP has a chapter on it, I recommend looking up, it's great. I would send it myself but Tumblr doesn't like it when I send links apparently.

That's fucking hilarious actually

The Four Horsemen: SCP and bonus

To begin this section dedicated to the representations of the Four Horsemen on the web, I'll mention the webcomic SSDD (see the strip here: http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20000103.html ) This comic strip is not much, but I still find it interesting. We see the four main characters of the webcomic represented as the Horsemen. War is dressed in an American military outfit, armed, wielding a gun, with a helmet saying "Born to Kill". His eyes are pure darkness, and he rides a horse that looks like he was skinned alive and then a sort of metallic armor was put on him (he even has what seems to be the muzzle of a gun coming out of its mouth). Pestilence is a long-haired, shaggy and dirty man, with worn-out and stinking brown rags as well as a top hat. Surrounded by flies, his eyes glow green and he rides a brown horse with a green hood. Famine is a skinny, bony and emaciated man, constantly scarfing down a bucket of fried chicken, with eyes entirely red, as red as blood, and a brown horse with a red hood. Finally Death takes the shape of a typical Grim Reaper: a man with a black hooded robe and wielding a scythe. His eyes glow of a white/greyish color, and he mounts a brown horse with a blue hood. Here, War is a bit too eager to cause the Apocalypse when the year 2000 strikes. As Pestilence reminds him, all the signs of the Apocalypse are missing, and these signs are: rivers of blood, the sun going out, the return of the Christ and the comeback of disco. Now, to go on to "bigger fishes" of the Internet, let's take a look at the SCP Foundation, host of all the weirdest things you can imagine and experts at twisting folklore. The Four Horsemen are actually an SCP, SCP-1295. I am spoiling you the document, but basically the Four Horsemen arrived on Earth when the atomic bomb blew off at the end of World War II, War mistaking it for the sign that the end was coming. When they realized that it wasn't at all the Apocalypse, but merely another human fight, they ended up stuck on Earth, and now they wait for the end of times. They spend every day, from nine AM to 6 PM, at "Meg's Good Eatin", a highway diner, under the appearance of "elderly men". The twist here is that the real danger of the Horsemen is when they decide NOT to be there, or NOT to enforce their own disasters. As in, if the Horsemen are ever prevented to enter the diner or forced out of it, they will just say "Fine, do without me!" or go grumpy and say "I'm not doing my job anymore" and it will lead to destructive results. (Also, each Horseman has a human name but it is unclear is this is their real name or an alias) # If War ("Warren") is the one angered, people around him (one hundred meters around him during the first hour, then two hundred, then three hundred...) will lose all kind of self-preservation instinct and enter in a lethargic state that will make any kind of accident potentially fatal. Because without War, there is no kind of self-defense or desire to act, live, fight. # If Famine ("Frederick") is the one angered, people will lose their ability to differentiate what is edible or not, endangering or killing themselves by eating metal, toxic products, trash, "living flesh", etc... If there is no Famine, everyone can eat everything! # If Pestilence ("Pat") is the one removed, everyone will see their bodies "lose all form of microbial lifeforms associated with them". For exemple, the digestive system flora will disappear, resulting in an incapacity of digesting food normally. If Pestilence is out, well all microbes and bacterias may as well die, even the most useful ones! # If Death ("Dwight") is the one removed, he will cause the opposite of War's effects. Everyone will see their self-protective instincts rise up and become sharper, to the point of hypochondria and paranoia, so strong and so debilitating that people refuse to do anything that might put them into danger, no matter how small or ridiculous this danger may be. After all, isn't the best way to prevent people from dying merely to make them perpetually conscious and perpetually afraid of their own mortality? In a very funny way, War reveals himself to be very old-fashionned, preferring elephants over all those "new trends" that he doesn't understand, such as drones, remotes and "electro-thingies". And Famine always asks the other if they will finish their orders. Always. Even though they have always finished their orders in sixty years. As Frederick says, he is an "optimist". In the Japanese webcomic adaptation "</i>Oversimplified SCP</i>", the Four Horsemen were interestingly re-interpreted. The Horseman that causes the lose of self-preservation and a debilitating lethargy is there Conquest, all dressed in white, with a crown drawn on his cap. As elderly as the others, he has a brown beard. Famine is still the same, represented as a chubby, dark-skinned, elderly man with grey hair and dressed in black and gray. His scale is drawn on his sweater, and he is kind of the meak, timid, almost cute one. The Horseman that kills the bacterias is reinterpreted as Death here, a bald man with a grey mustache, a blue bandana ornated with skulls, and dressed in a delinquant/biker kind of way. (And here he acts in a very violent and wrathful way). Finally, the Horseman that makes people fear any kind of danger is reinterpreted as War, a sharply-dressed and calm elderly man with white hair and a red suit, using a katana as a cane, ironically always calm and never angry or overtly emotional.
