[rustyboltzz]

Leora: You ever get water hungry?

Iris: Thirsty.

Leora: No, water hungry.

Stacy: Shh, Iris is making up words again.

(found an old incorrect quotes dump and this one made me think of them)

Them,real. I heard them say this.

The third and final part of this tale takes a bit of a more personal look at what years of containment can do to someone. Certain sections written by Kothardarastrix.

And a birthday present for Iris! She’s miserable here!

And with that I’m finally done. I can do something else now. I can write other articles. Good lord. What do I even do with myself?

broken feathers and bloody wings

Summary:

Humanoid anomalies grow wings after a certain stage of development in their powers.

Iris has always hated hers.

Iris knew she was screwed the minute she heard a long and disappointed sigh.

Which was ridiculous. She was an MTF commander, trained in hundreds of forms of combat, the sole survivor of Omega-7.

She could have just kept walking. Once she was in her cell there was nothing Jacqueline could do to follow her. But she knew it would just make future missions awkward and tense.

“Is there something you needed?” She asked with a raised eyebrow. Maybe if she just bluffed...

“You are aware it’s very obvious when you’re binding, right sir?”

She was, in fact, aware, but she blamed the foundation entirely for that. They denied her proper binds so she had to resort to other things. Like tying her wings together with rope and hiding them under her jacket.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Denial was great. It was her favourite thing. It got her through psych evals and awkward conversations about her feelings.

It wasn’t working.

Jacqueline sighed at her. Again. Iris was already over this ‘disappointed friend’ act. “Right, jacket off. Did you at least make the knot easy to untie?”

“You could just leave it alone and stop bothering me.”

“So no then. Let me do my job and be your medic.”

She reluctantly shrugged off her jacket, pulling out the knife she definitely wasn’t supposed to have to cut the ropes off herself. Most skips would hate having a weapon so close to their wings. Iris was long past caring.

Once she was done Jacqueline pulled the rest of the rope away and let bright red wings stretch and fill the hallway. “How many of us have told you to stop doing this now?”

Iris looked straight ahead at the wall. “They’re a hindrance on missions and reveal me immediately as an anomaly. That’s all.”

“Sure. That’s why you keep them bound and hidden for as long as you can get away with even after we’re back on site.”

She was starting to get annoyed and kept her wings tightly to herself. No use training herself out of expressing with them if one slip-up ruined everything.

“It’s none of your business.” She said with professional detachment. She was the commander, and Jacqueline was one of her soldiers. Nothing more than that. “My wings and my reasons for hating them are my business.”

“...Hating?” Her voice was filled with concern, so genuine it made Iris want to punch something. Or cry. Probably both. “Sir, that’s-”

“I said hiding. You misheard.”

That moment made for the perfect time to leave, so she turned and stormed away without another word. Her cell was silent, but it was safe from judgement and invasive questions.

At least until word of the incident got back to her foundation-mandated therapist.

Horary.

SCP-105 Iris Thompson was 15 years old. She hadn’t left her bed in weeks, but that was fine.

There were no missions anymore.

Her photos had been confiscated, but that was fine too. They only showed dead bodies now.

It hadn’t been long after the... disbandment of the team that her wings had started to grow in. The researchers had been ecstatic, saying she’d reached an important stage in the development both her life and powers.

They’d been less excited to explain what cardinal wings represented.

Grief and loss.

How fitting.

She couldn’t believe they expected her to be excited about it.

To her, they were just the final nail in the coffin proving she wasn’t normal.

Because otherwise she could pretend. She could look normal, act normal, and aside from outdated references, she spoke normally. Take her photos away and she was just as average as anyone else.

Wings weren’t average. And now there was no chance of her ever being let go. Even if she lost her powers, actually lost them with multiple tests to prove it, she was a risk to the veil.

And yet they still tried to offer her incentives based on them. Flight training if she engaged with the researchers. Time in a safe airspace if she ate full meals consistently.

It was shocking how they hadn’t realised that it made her far less likely to comply.

The door to her cell opened. She didn’t bother to move from her blanket lump.

“105, you need to get up. Learning to use your wings has now been made mandatory.”

She mentally weighed the pros and cons of being abrasive before deciding she was too tired to care.

“Fuck off.”

There was a long pause. Almost enough to make her regret her decision.

“You will be escorted by force if necessary.”

Slowly, ever so slowly, she sat up. Stretched out her wings. Ran a hand along the feathers.

Iris made eye contact with the researcher as she grabbed hold of one of her primaries and yanked. Then she did another. And another.

By the time they snapped out of their shock and called the guards, her wing was mangled beyond use. There was no way she could fly on the bloody mess, even if her other side was untouched.

She lost a lot of privileges for that stunt, but they’d got the message.

She would never use her wings.

~

Jacqueline had snitched.

Iris was now required to have her wings out at all times while not on missions, which included the cafeteria. She’d avoided it for a while before being told how worried Leora and Stacy were about her, and couldn’t she just come out for a little while to reassure them?

Dammit. She had gone soft.

The pair had swarmed on her immediately, asking questions about where she’d been and if she was hurt.

Usually they were satisfied with grunts and non-committal answers, however seemingly sprouting wings out of nowhere was much more interesting than her classified missions.

“Will we get them?”

“If you’re lucky, no.”

“Do they hurt you?”

“Not anymore.”

“Can you fly on them?”

“Never learned.”

“Can I touch them?”

Stacy’s question threw her and she paused, blinking slightly.

Wings were meant to be personal. They were fragile and much more painful than regular limbs when injured.

But... letting her do it would be an even bigger flip off to the researchers constantly trying to get her to accept them. Besides, she’d been shot before. What damage could one teenager do?

“Alright.”

Leora and Stacy both looked shocked at her response, though they quickly scrambled over to her side of the bench when she spread her wings wide.

There were a number of marks, crooked feathers that had never healed quite right, but they were gasping like it was the coolest thing they’d ever seen.

Stacy carefully reached out and ran a hand along it, frowning slightly at the dirt and dust she’d never bothered to clean out. She gently started trying to brush it out, only to freeze as Iris-

Well, Iris chirped.

She had never once made a bird noise. Not even in distress. But the minute someone is gentle with them-

“We are never talking about this again,” she hissed, standing and almost tripping over the table in her rush to leave. Everyone moved out of the way of a pissed Commander Thompson and she was back at her cell in record time.

A loud groan escaped her.

Everyone who talked about ‘self-care’ and ‘not neglecting an entire part of your body’ was going to be insufferable.

Though she had to admit she wouldn’t mind someone doing it again.

The Generally Uncomfortable Laboratory Adolescents Group

SCP-3009-C, formerly known as Stacey Lee, was not having a great day. Admittedly, she didn’t have a lot of good days in the past year. Finding out at the tender age of 15 that you had a sentient snapchat account claiming to be you (and who honestly seemed more like “you” than you were) before being locked up by a shadowy organization to protect “normalcy” puts a real damper on your sense of self and mental health.

They say you can't deprogram attack dogs.

List of SCP articles I actually like

title self explanatory. list will be out of order.

SCP-4558: one of my first favorites when I first visited the site. a good skip with an interesting story, including one of my favorite GoIs (Fifthism). while I recently started getting bored of format screws on the site, 4558 will allways have a special place in my heart.

SCP-4246: if a story portrays the ocean as an eldritch place, it's a good skip. helps that it actually has an academic feel to it, unlike more narrative skips lately. even the twist at the very end fits because ocean creatures are Like That. very beautiful very powerful.

SCP-4319: by girls for girls!! this skip is terrifying in a way more grounded in reality (group that pretends they're for "girl power" when they're actually trying to force girls into their own image). the format screw definitely helps convey the horrors of the site taking over the girls too.

SCP-6624: in general articles bout Alagadda are cool and at worst simply average, but 6624 is really good. helps that it kinda touches on the Four Lords of Alagadda through the music experiments. it also feels like historical documentation, just like 4246 (fun fact: they're both by the same author, called Metaphysician. recommend you check them out).

SCP-6007: ok i'll be honest, this one's on the list more from spite. as in, i dislike 6000, 6001, and 6500 so much that they automatically bumped up 6007 up in terms of liking it. weird i know. that said, 6007 had interesting characters and actually portrayed the horrors of nature pretty simple, yet it was pretty effective.

SCP-7027: surprise! another skip by Metaphysician! this one was made at the beginning of the anthology hub, and it was a strong start that made me hopeful that it would deliver all the way (it did not, but there were some good bits here and there). emptiness as horror is my favorite trope in horror, and the way it combined emptiness, nihilism, and buddhist ideas fucks pretty hard and reminds me of the HARBINGER II series (see below).

SCPs 6270 to 6279: HARBINGER II skips are all so good. while they're all considered separate from each other, they share one common theme: harbingers and holes, the latter either being literal or figurative, like a nothingness where surrounded by something...ness. because it reminds me of house of leaves, it automatically became one of my favorites. even some of the more weaker ones like 6273, 6277, and 6278 are still decent, if not my taste. notable favorites include 6270 (the description of the anomalous illness was interesting), 6272 (simple yet effective, especially the ending), 6274 (ending was eh, but everything else leading up to it was good, what with the idea of even ghosts not being safe from the entity), 6275 (surreal and terrifying, while also acting a bit as a commentary to ""funni"" skips), and 6276 (has a bit of technobabble, but it was interesting, especially the ending).

SCP-1302-JP: this one's simple: it's a ferris wheel that is so slow it takes triple-digit years for one revolution. the description of those trapped within the capsules are chilling, and there are Implications, for those with a good eye.

SCP-5485: i remember making a post where i said that unneeded [citation needed] in articles is one of my favorite types of humor, and this skip delivers on this while also being unsettling. combining HANSARP (a Dadaist version of AWCY) and the ocean is a brilliant idea.

SCP-3009: i already gushed about this skip in a previous post. no need to say more beyond it being a simple yet compelling story, especially with the companion tales.

SCP-7100: this skip has a format screw that's actually interesting AND makes sense- it acts as a tutorial for documenting an SCP (both in-universe and out) while also telling a good story within. the punchline also fits, which is a rare compliment these days for modern skips. i've said this before and i'll say it again: 7100 should have won 7k con.

SCP-6230: this skip documents how abandoned SCP facilities will suddenly generate new interior spaces, and if that doesn't remind you of House of Leaves, you clearly have not been on my blog long enough. juxtaposing the main clinical documentation with the more prose-y feel of SCP-001 helps create a sense of eerie suspense on wtf the skip is, something the backrooms wikis wishes they could accomplish. honestly the skip could've been just endless descriptions of the generated interior spaces and i would still put it on this list.

I found an old drawing of SCP-3009-C together with another char but I can't for the life of me remember who it's supposed to be 😭

[rustyboltzz]

Stacy: Hey Iris can you help me with my maths homework?

Iris: …

Iris: This isn’t maths.

Stacy: Yes? It is?

Iris: It has letters. Maths does not. Honestly, what is this place teaching you?

Stacy: Iris do you not know what algebra is

Iris: Sounds anomalous.

Stacey tries to explain it to her, and she covers her ears just in case it's memetic

“What if There was a Girl?” SCP Rec List

To understand the ‘what if there was a girl’ phenomenon, it might help to recognize that the question is incomplete for the sake of comedy. In truth, ‘what if there was a girl’ should be read as ‘what if there was a girl, but x’ because it refers to SCPs on the site that are literally just girls with something odd, fucked up, or weird about them that makes them an anomaly. 

Without further ado, here are some, but not all, of ‘what if there was a girl’ SCPs that I personally enjoy!

SCP-166: Just a Teenage Gaea - It would be remiss if I didn’t include my favorite rewritten reindeer girl, even though she is pushing the boundaries of whatifgirlism by having complex origins that might lead you to read several different SCPs and tales in a frenzy at 3 o clock in the morning. Or maybe that’s just me.

SCP-053: Young Girl - Another original! Hell, girl is in her classification. Short article but a classic that has led to multitudes of fanart, interpretations, and the like. 

(Series I is actually filled with these examples, but let’s move on bc this is not a complete list and you cannot force me to put 6 additional ones from there on here-)

SCP-2599: Not Good Enough - Next up on girls that need hugs. I’ve always been a fan of Ella Enchanted, so I think part of my love comes from that association, but she’s also... just really sad. I want the best for her... 

SCP-3009: Hi, I'm Your Snappelganger! - You wouldn’t think a Snapchat account SCP would be an emotional read! You’d be wrong! Still fits the category though (and I’m glad it does).

SCP-4818: I Need A Hero - One of those girls that might be the star of her own hub one day. I can see that. I am claiming it. I feel for her though.

SCP-4855: Mind Like a Steel Trap - Finally, we look to not a traditional one because she’s 74, but one that belongs here nonetheless bc she’s my meemaw and I like her. Sometimes, you just need someone immune to cognitohazards and memetic influence for no clear reason, and that is okay. It’s bound to happen eventually.

There are plenty more girls out there, all who explore this question of what it would be like to be a girl with strange abilities. Seek them out for yourself. Write your own. I will be here with popcorn and smiles.
