SCP#: AGY

Code Name: The Kaiju and the Robot destroy the sandcastle of Korea.

Object Class: Euclid Neutralized

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-AGY-A and SCP-AGY-B seem to manifest at random and perform random acts that seem to make no consistent sense. All attempts to contain both instances has proven impossible as they keep disappearing when Foundation or GOC forces engage. Currently the only method of Containment is censorship. Joint Task Force Poseidon-7 "Blind Spot in the South" made from both MTF Gamma-5 and MTF Dionysus-1 is tasked with ensuring this.

Update (same year) - SCP-AGY's origin of anomalous activity was located thanks to SCP-AGY-A's avatar and was destroyed at once. SCP-AGY-A and SCP-AGY-B are now declaimed Neutralized, and the avatar has been left in peace. Thanks to her cooperation to the Foundation and her assistance with its neutralization she has been allowed to keep her memories as per her request. All previous containment procedures will be disregarded.

Description: SCP-AGY appears to be the random manifestations of a giant kaiju and a giant robot both of unknown origin. SCP-AGY-A is the Kaiju and SCP-AGY-B is the robot both of which are about 30 meters tall. They are indestructible on all aspects and typically can recover from any attack that comes at them. on any other aspect they are completely unremarkable except for the fact that they manifest out of nowhere and always act unusually. 

SCP-AGY was discovered in 2017 when SCP-AGY-A manifested out of nowhere and walked through the city causing damage. Most curiously the next day the SCP-AGY-A instance manifested again and suddenly started dancing. Then after a few days SCP-AGY-B manifested and the two faced one another for a short while and SCP-AGY-A slapped it, causing SCP-AGY-B to walk off. This left the Foundation to believe this was some kind of prank perhaps caused by a chaos god or Group of Interest: Are We Cool Yet? However, that was proven false when the avatars were revealed. 

After a few manifestations SCP-AGY-B showed up one day only to be lifted up by an invisible force and thrown into the air. Foundation satellites showed that SCP-AGY-A manifested in another part of the world and grabbed a random human making him act the same way the SCP-AGY-B did. At the same time there was a woman who was standing in front of the SCP-AGY-B and doing what the SCP-AGY-A did. After SCP-AGY-B was destroyed along with its avatar the SCP-AGY-A stop manifesting as well seemingly destroying its anomalous area of origin thus ceasing the anomaly for good. Soon after the avatar of SCP-AGY-A was found and captured by the Foundation she was originally supposed to be contained but after the interview with her she was released once it was clear of the true nature of the anomaly. Please see Addendum X-44 for details

Addendum X-44

The following is a recording between Dr. Geun and Gloria after she was captured and sent to the nearest Foundation Area in South Korea. For the interview Gloria was given a translation collar forcefully so that she and Dr. Geun could talk as he had not yet learned English at the time. 

Begin Recording

Dr. Geun: Can you hear me ma'am?

Gloria: Oh! Uh yeah, your English is great by the way.

Dr. Geun: I'm not speaking English, its only because of that collar you can hear me so don't take it off. 

Gloria: Oh... but uh, can't you just wear it?

Dr. Geun: No, now please tell me your first name only. 

Gloria: Uh, right my name is Gloria.

Dr. Geun: I see and what is your connection to the two giant entities that have appeared recently in South Korea. 

Gloria: Oh, right uh... well I know this sounds crazy but that fish monster uh...

Dr. Geun: Kaiju

Gloria: Right! Kaiju uh, well... it's me! I was the Kaiju.

Dr. Geun: ...

Gloria: Look I know it's hard to believe but uh, crazy story. When I was young me and my uh... ex were working on a school project I had a monster in my set, and he had the robot. He was the robot by the way, anyways we got into a fight which started our bad relationship should have seen it as bad in the first place but- surprise! We got hit by lightning directly on our heads! I don't know how it happened but that caused the monsters to manifest whenever we entered this park back in our home. I think the reason it kept manifesting in South Korea because that's where our sets were based off of remember the project thing. Anyways yeah after I finally came back home it started manifesting again and I accidently started all of this. But I already got rid of Tim my abusive ex and because of that the robot is gone. So... I think that's everything.

Dr. Geun: ...

Gloria: Uh, okay look I know it sounds crazy but trust me it's all-

Dr. Geun: Miss Gloria, we believe you. If anything, your explanation is the most plausible. 

Gloria: I... wait seriously? 

Dr. Geun: You say it manifests every time you went to a park? Well, we should inform you SCP-AGY-A disappeared the moment it destroyed the sand lot there. With this we believe that SCP-AGY in general has been destroyed. 

Gloria: SCP-AGY?

Dr. Geun: It's what we called this phenomenon. 

Gloria: Oh... cool name. Not exactly creative but whatever.

Dr. Geun: ... Your input is not needed nor appreciated. 

Gloria: Oh, sorry. I just... Sorry.

Dr. Geun: *sigh* Look the point is SCP-AGY is gone. And it's gone thanks to you, normally this would warrant punishment but with that story of yours we now know more about the anomaly that we couldn't have known otherwise. As such the Foundation wants to give you two options under protocol "Sole Survivor".

Gloria: Uh... Okay?

Dr. Geun: Now Miss Gloria. Do you want to work for the Foundation and help us contain or possibly defeat more anomalies like this one or do you wish to have your memories erased and be given compensation money for your troubles.

Gloria: You- You want me to work for you? Wait who even are you people? 

Dr. Geun: You know once you give an answer. Please decide now, quickly.

Gloria: Uh... Well I... No, I- I just can't.

Dr. Geun: I see, I expected that but-

Gloria: Uh but wait, I don't want my memories erased either. I mean... This whole experienced changed me I can't let go of that. If I forget all of this, I'll just go back to being an alcoholic that feels she's nothing without her boyfriend. Tim was an asshole who had no problem killing all those people... I'm glad he's gone; I don't want to go back to wanting him. Especially now that he's dead. 

Dr. Geun: ... Well, you did get rid of SCP-AGY and thanks to the efforts of MTF Poseidon-7 no one in the world will ever know about SCP-AGY.

Gloria: Wha? What do you mean it was all over the news?

Dr. Geun: Starting next week everyone will think it was nothing more than promotional material for a new video game. A week after that our Foundation will use CGI to remake SCP-AGY-A and SCP-AGY-B to make a new energy drink commercial to help sell this. 

Gloria: Wait really? ... Huh. But still, I swear I won't tell anyone so-

Dr. Geun: Understood Miss Gloria, we will not erase your memories besides, even if you tried to tell anyone it's all real, everyone will just think you're crazy so it's no loss to us regardless. We will still be rewarding you with $2,000,000 dollars in Foundation compensation money for telling us about SCP-AGY, neutralizing the anomaly, and achieving where the Foundation has failed several times. 

Gloria: ... Oh my god, are you serious?!

Dr. Geun: Enjoy your early retirement, Miss Gloria. 

Gloria: Holy shit... Normally I would use that money to get waisted but... I think this is the start of something better. But wait, what about the people of Seoul?

Dr. Geun: Their buildings will be repaired, the deaths will be explained, and overall, it will be fixed as if it never happened. Those who witnessed the events today will forget it all by tomorrow. The only one in the public who will know the truth, is you.

Gloria: ... That's kinda dark.

Dr. Geun: We have to keep it all a secret. You'd be surprised how often phenomena like this happens. 

Gloria: Woah...

Dr. Geun: Anyways an agent will meet with you outside where you will have to sigh to an agreement of secrecy and give you a briefcase where your money will be in cash. 

Gloria: Uh, got it, thank you! 

Dr. Geun: Thank you, Miss Gloria.

SCP-AGY is a prime example of the randomness and chaotic nature of anomalies. They can manifest anywhere at any time and for any reason, nothing can predict their nature or the laws each one abides by if they abide by any at all. As such, the Foundation is essential for both the survival of humanity and its sense of normalcy. Without normalcy there is only insanity and survival during insanity is impossible. We work in the Dark so humanity can live in the Light.

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

[novelconcepts]

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.

And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.

The Ken dance is so magnificent because it’s reminiscent of the Golden Age of Musicals when there would just be artful dance sequences for no reason other than the director wanted to have one.

I think depictions of Anya being cruel to Curly or drawing out his suffering are artful and chilling but completely miss the point of the story and her character.

I'm not saying she doesn't deserve to have that "I told you so" moment with him but not in something callous or cold. Even if that is how it happened, she'd immediately feel guilty cause at that point she's not tormenting her tormenter or even the person truly at fault. She's doing something cathartic, similar to how Jimmy likely hits Curly to release rage he can't against the rest of the crew. She'd see herself as no different when she'd come back from the moment and see Curly cowering at her. She wants someone to take responsibility but how does being cruel to the defenseless help? Why would she want the power Jimmy has over her over Curly?

The idea of her extending someone else's pain is just so against the struggles she already faces and how she can't even bring herself to cause someone pain even to help them. Her very desire is to release herself from her own suffering and I doubt she'd even fine some sort of guilty release in being cruel to another.

thinking about how people who watch the emperor's new groove and somehow come out of it shipping pacha and kuzco, or thinking yzma only became evil when kuzco fired her and that she would've been a better ruler than him, are both so wrong in so many different ways and are also missing one of the things that i absolutely love about the movie. which is that, the way i see it, pacha and yzma are counterparts. as parental figures to kuzco.

like, just to get this out of the way first, yzma was a dismissive asshole to a peasant whose family was starving. and yeah, if kuzco had been in her place he definitely would've also done that, which... is why she would not be a better ruler than him. she'd just be the same because they're both horrible people in the exact same ways. her reaction to being fired is to plot murder, and as soon as his funeral is over she sets everyone to work on replacing paintings of kuzco with paintings of herself and covering the palace with imagery that makes it clear that it's all about her now. i'm not even sure why this is a discussion tbh.

and also, kuzco is literally a teenager. he's barely 18 years old. source: in the movie, yzma says at his funeral that kuzco was "taken from us so tragically on the very eve of his eighteenth birthday." she also claims in the movie to have "practically raised" him, to which kronk replies "yeah, you'd think he would've turned out better". and sure, she could be exaggerating, but what evidence do we have that she is? we learn absolutely nothing of his parents, who are never mentioned even once in the movie, or of anyone else who could've raised him, and she's his advisor who for some reason sees no problem with attending to royal duties in his place. most likely because she's his regent. also, i'm not exactly a fan of the sequel tv series "the emperor's new school" but it does have something that backs up my point: kuzco is revealed to be an orphan and just before his father went and got lost at sea, he asked yzma (who was also his advisor) to take care of kuzco if anything happened to him. so, yeah, the writers who worked on the series clearly thought that yzma genuinely did raise kuzco, and nothing in the movie contradicts this.

and i find the idea of her being his only parental figure for pretty much his whole childhood incredibly interesting because, and this also goes back into why she wouldn't be a better ruler than him--she mirrors him as a reflection of what would've become of him if he'd never met pacha. they're both incredibly arrogant, power-hungry, selfish, and cruel, with a tendency to blame their problems on everyone but themselves. yzma was even originally going to have her own reprise of kuzco's theme song "perfect world", which i really wish had been kept:

[ID: Lyrics that read:

I'Il be the sovereign queen of the nation And the chicest chick in creation I'm the cat with all the cream and ooh-la-la This deadly concentration Will put an end to my frustration Now this perfect world begins and ends with moi

What's my name? Yzma, Yzma, Yzma Yzma (what's my name?) Yzma, Yzma (What'd you say?) Yzma (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) Yzma. End ID]

(this song can be fully heard in "the sweatbox", the documentary about the making of the movie, and is also on youtube btw)

anyway, i'm sure yzma would not exactly have been the most nurturing or hands-on guardian, especially given that she and kuzco don't exactly treat each other like family. but it makes a lot of sense to think that her behavior influened kuzco's throughout the years. and for the entire movie, she remains determined to kill him. when he tries to reason with her and admits that he should've been nicer, she says the same thing to him that he originally said when he fired her. she never grows or changes and in the end, she hurts the one person who was willing to stand by her (and even then, kronk had never fully been on board with her plan) and he ends up trying to crush her with a chandelier. kuzco on the other hand is able to realize the error of his ways, come to regret who he was in the past, and start taking steps toward being a better person. his theme song gets a reprise where it's changed from a song about one person being the center of the world to a Power Of Friendship song. why? because, as i've already mentioned, he has pacha.

pacha, who similarly to both yzma and kuzco is in a position of authority as the leader of the village but unlike either of them is gentle and humble. who isn't afraid to stand up to kuzco and be honest with him even though he's the emperor, who agrees to take him back to the palace but has no obligation to be so helpful, kind, and caring toward him--and just about every reason not to be--and still chooses to be anyway. pacha who is 45 years old (also stated in the sweatbox documentary) and can see that kuzco is practically still a kid, not a single day over 18, who has time to grow and change. pacha, who already has a wife and two kids with another on the way, but practically treats kuzco like one of his own. who acknowledges that if kuzco dies all his problems will be gone and then still worries about him and goes out of his way to rescue him after he wanders into the jungle. who sees kuzco shivering at night and covers him with his poncho, who carries him when he's genuinely too weak to keep walking, who refuses to give up on him even after repeatedly being betrayed by him because he believes there's good in everyone.

also, while yzma ends up repeating kuzco's harsh words of dismissal as she tells him of her plans to kill him, kuzco had previously repeated pacha's words that "nobody's that heartless" after he saved pacha's life. and as the movie progresses kuzco and pacha's relationship becomes more and more equal and is constantly contrasted by moments of yzma being cruel and unappreciative of kronk's kindness. a good example of this is how kronk is constantly being forced to carry yzma everywhere on his back while yzma literally walks all over him and steps on his hands when she gets down, whereas when pacha briefly carries kuzco after the latter collapses he tells him he'll have to walk the rest of the way later and kuzco doesn't even protest.

idk if i'm even explaining well what i'm trying to say here. but basically, if yzma actually raised kuzco and contributed to his current behavior, then she and pacha both are figures who guided him and helped him grow. only yzma helped him become the tyrant that he was at the start of the movie, who was selfish and callous and saw everyone else as beneath him. whereas pacha helped him see the value in being selfless and considerate of others. and in the end, yzma is stuck as a cat and nobody is concerned about her. kronk has found a new job that makes him genuinely happy, while kuzco has decided to build a hut on the hill next to pacha's and effectively joined his family. in the sweatbox documentary it's even mentioned that chicha and the kids were at risk of being removed from the film, but it was decided that they needed to be there because having just pacha as a single guy who lived alone wasn't interesting enough--kuzco needed to go from having basically an empty world where he had nobody to being able to come together with pacha's whole family. and i just think that's incredibly satisfying and beautiful. it also leads up to one of the few things i really do enjoy about the emperor's new school, which is the fact that during the show kuzco moves in with pacha and chicha and pretty explicitly thinks of them as basically his parents while he's like a son to them.

idk. i feel like my mind went in a million different directions while i was writing all this. but i guess i just think that for all of the praise the emperor's new groove gets for its comedy and for how hilarious yzma and kronk in particular are as a duo, the movie also has a lot of genuine heart that gets overlooked. kuzco's character growth and his unique dynamic with pacha is, for me, really what elevates the movie from just a funny movie that i like to one of my favorite disney movies. and i wish more people appreciated that aspect of it and saw it as a found family story in the same way that treasure planet, brother bear, and lilo and stitch are all found family stories.

One of the best things about Disco Elysium by far is that it does not fear ugly women. The world is full of ugly men, but ugly women are so hard to come by.

Small Things Can Make Big Differences 🩷

Hi, Fans Of Amy Rose!

This is my opinion and we don’t know what could happen between now and Sonic Movie 3. Anyone can disagree. I’m 100% fine with that and this isn’t going to tarnish my enjoyment of the film at all, but I’ve got to get this off my chest. I’d love to see Amy Rose in Sonic Movie 3 and would be disappointed if she wasn’t in it. Yeah, she’d probably not have a HUGE role or time to develop as much. I get it, but at the same time, I personally don’t think we should shy away from characters having small arcs.

Tails had one in Sonic Movie 2 and I wouldn’t say the movie would’ve been better without him. I don’t think we should have to justify a main character like Amy who’s existed before KNUCKLES (and debatably Tails) being in a movie about her own franchise. We shouldn’t have to wait a whole year for it either. Stuff takes time sure, but other movies with Pokémon, the Avengers, Mario, My Little Pony G4, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and many others did it and did it well for the most part. Most of these have tons of characters that they wasn’t afraid to show in one movie. Characters with smaller roles still impacted the movies and in a memorable way too. We shouldn’t be so timid in bringing Sonic characters in Sonic movies. They’re just as marketable as these other franchises. The successes of the Sonic trilogies proved that.

Without Amy or other characters it doesn’t feel as full as it could be. Not saying we should’ve got all of them from the get go but a little more would be nice.

I’m saying this respectfully but that doesn’t make sense especially if we have enough time to flesh out the human core characters/side characters who aren’t even part of the main franchise and not the ones most audiences came to see in the first place. I’m neutral and understand both critiques and defenses so you can decide where to go to on that.

Back to before, you don’t need long drawn out character development in order to be written well. Tails turned out fine despite his small role. Heck, Amy’s roles in the GAMES were usually small but not less impactful because of it. Amy practically helped save the entire world with her “small roles” and one for an emotional and impactful moment with Shadow. Even small things can make big differences and that’s one lesson you can learn from Amy.

Amy’s interactions with Gamma in SA1 impacted the robot to the point of him sacrificing himself to free a Bird he needed to stay alive.

Amy believed in Sonic when the whole world (or Silver) was against him in Sonic 06.

Amy showed kindness to Sonic as the Werehog and gave her closest friend encouragement. She still loved him regardless of how he looked.

There’s more examples, but these are the most well known. Do you notice how most of them were small actions or small moments of development in small roles. And still managed to make Amy a wonderful character while impacting the stories?

I’ll also just show this too.

Also, don’t worry about her stealing time from Shadow. The film’s called Sonic Movie 3 not Shadow The Hedgehog. He can share the spotlight. Knuckles did in SM2. There’s no excuse in my opinion.

The movie doesn’t have to have Amy and wouldn’t be worse without her, but I think we shouldn’t overlook her importance to the franchise even if what she does is small. Or feel bad for being more aware of what little we get in these movies. It’s okay to admit certain flaws. Nothing’s perfect and not above criticism as long as we’re respectful about it. And for the kiddies who would like to see a cartoony animal girl character for the first time in these films, Amy would be a fantastic way to start.

Amy debuting in Sonic 3 and interacting with the boys would be a lovely way of establishing that close connection between the core four of the franchise. They’d literally have the definition of love at their sides. Again, small changes can make big differences. That’s all I have to say. Now I’m going to continue to be excited for the 3rd Sonic movie.
