humanisation of scp-3125 I drew…. But that’s not all!

minor spoilers for there is no antimemetics division, admonition and scp-6500 under the image

okay okay so I’ve had this design for a humanoid version of 3125 for a while now but I’ve also developed a few neat little ideas for why 3125 would be like this.

so in metagnostic/scp-6659, we learn that gods are noospheric constructs shaped by human worship and that scp-3125 is like a sort of limb protruding from an entity from outside the human noosphere into our own noosphere. a headcanon/interpretation ive developed out of this which may not necessarily be correct is that constants such as scp-3125 are not created by human worship but instead molded by it. so what does this have to do with the two other things I said there’d be spoilers for?

in the there is no antimemetics division series, 3125 is described as something that is repeatedly discovered by anyone pursuing the field of antimemetics before it either swallows them whole or an antimemetic bomb or something equivalent to it wipes out the team’s memory. in that series, 3125 is described as a problem that humans keep coming back to over and over again.

for one this means that 3125 has been plaguing humanity for all of history devouring or causing antimemeticists to blow themselves up metaphorically. but another thing I’d like to bring attention to is the way 3125 is portrayed. It’s associated with starfishes and the number 5, but why is it like that? why would this chaotic memeplex eldritch being be associated with those ideas? I believe it’s because of how humans have portrayed it throughout history, the same way humans create gods through worship as described in metagnostic, 3125 is molded by human perception of it. But it doesn’t just get molded, it straight up subsumes whatever concepts humans associate it with into itself.

so how does all of this relate to my humanoid design of it. well my headcanon is that there was in fact an antimemetics division equivalent in the ancient sherden civilisation (a civilisation described in scp-6500’s reliquarian story as having created several anti-impasse artifacts) and that they ended up discovering 3125 and portraying it as an aquatic-like starfish humanoid deity (a negative one though, like I could imagine that 3125 would be sorta like tartarus (the embodiment not the place) of sherden mythology) as opposed to their animal deities which they worshipped. I mainly just shoeroped in this connection because I really like what scp-6500 did with the idea of the “sea people” and I’m sad it isn’t elaborated more on in scps.

anyways yeah this humanoid design for 3125 I made is basically the Sherden mythology’s depiction of 3125
