#scp abcs of death

[nonexistent-tales]

don't mind me, listing all the 2022 anthology hub/ABCs of Death stuff here for reference. [CURRENTLY UNFINISHED.]

Those listed in purple are my favorites. Those listed in red are ones I want to read next when I have the time. Those listed in green are ones I have finished reading.

Personal rating (which varies a lot and is kinda inconsistent) + comments for those i have read.

this can also be a suggestion list of sorts! i love this collection of work so much

also. this was originally posted dec 3 happy senior researcher richard battaglia disappearance day

pretty long so cut!

A is for Annihilation

good religious horror (buddhism edition) 👍

7.6/10

Æ is for Ærials - SCP-7034

HAPPY BATTAGLIA DISAPPEARANCE DATE! Good horror. This also hits me on a personal note having been through so much road trips as a kid, going through a lot of urban areas, and imagining scenarios the car would end up in while closing my eyes.

10/10. Did not feel like it dragged on too long for me.

B is for Blood-Borne

C is for Closure

D is for Dermatology - SCP-7160

I did not get through that mutilation log usncathed. I'm generally fine with body horror, but it definitely still affects me. The descriptiond of what John saw were so... vivid? Good horror, good horror.

9.9/10

E is for Eternity - SCP 7179

Hahahaha. Hahahahahhahahaha. Hahahahahahhahahahahhahahahaha. Oh the things I could say about this one...

I first read this fresh after figuring out I had apeirophobia.

∞/10.

F is for Fallout

G is for Grease

Ȝ is for Ȝesundheit

H is for Health - SCP-7303

I is for Incision - SCP-7340

Horrifying implications. Okay then. Okay

10/10. As in, the article does everything its trying to do perfectly.

I'm normal about the Fire Suppression Dep., okay?

The very concept of the anomaly is horrifying enough on its own. Its uses for the Fiundation's benefit reflects that well enough.

9/10.

J is for Jetsam

K is for Keystone

L is for Lamentations

Agent Lament? Body horror? Divine/eldritch horror? Count me in.

8.5/10

M is for Moonlight

I swear I've read this one at least 3 times before but I always come out confused AND forget everything about it. Will need to reread soon...

???/10

N is for Neon

O is for Organs

Ø is for Ørkesløs

P is for Pluto, Previously. Presently, Primrose. (<-posted on my birthday)

R is for Reshape

Okay. Okay then. Okay

Familial issues resulting in... okay then.

9.7/10

S is for Saintly

T is for Transmission

Ð is for Ðirteen - SCP-7795

Screw everything. Death loops/time loops are one of my favorite tropes in media, especially isolated ones and... poor Mia.

9.4/10

U is for Unstrung

V is for Violence

c:)

5.7/10

W is for Walls

( @nightwing-scp - Continued from here!)

It's been a long time since Stanley Aurelius has shared any files on himself with someone new and he's admittedly a little... nervous about it. Night might not be able to notice, but he's fidgeting behind the computer he is communicating through. His shadowy hands - which are tucked within the silhouette of himself, and therefore not visible at all - are twisting and wringing together. If he were alive, they'd look like a pair of mating fish, somehow also locked together in their death throes.

His eyes, ever the two perfectly round, glowing yellow spots, don't belie much in the way of his emotions either. And of course, being voiceless, there isn't much given away there either. The only way he can express himself is through the computer he is perched behind.

His initial reply is simple, if not a bit short.

Me.

The word sits there for a moment or two, like a stoic bird, refusing to move out of the way of a moving vehicle.

Then it fades away and is replaced by more words, marching across the screen in a green on black parade.

They are all files on Employee #427, Stanley Aurelius. Myself. Delivered to you as promised. ABC Corporation was obsessed with me for reasons beyond my comprehension. Sounds flattering, but I promise you it was not.

Inside the boxes, contained in the files, Night will find an enormously wide variety of data, all seemingly entirely random and full of so much information, it's difficult to make sense of any of it.

Information on Stanley's time's in and out for the day, for each and every day of his employment, beginning to end - that is, his first day of employment, to the very last day the company had these files filed away. His time spent on the phones before being transferred to the job position of Dedicated Pencil Sharpener. How many pencils he was given each day. How many pencils he sharpened. How many times he asked for a pencil sharpener. How many times he arrived to work with a pencil sharpener, what kind it was, what brand it was, and how many times he asked for it back after it was taken away. How many times he asked coworkers for their pencil sharpeners, only to be reminded that the company never had any pencils sharpeners on the premises. Time spent away from his desk exploring the building, looking for pencil sharpeners. How many pencils he chewed with his teeth in order to sharpen them. How many pencils he took home to sharpen them before bringing them back to work. How many pencils went missing and unaccounted for.

On and on and on and on and on like this the files go, with your standard information like paycheck stubs and HR complaints mixed in as well.

There are also files after files after files of coworker complaints about Stanley, detailing how his coworkers couldn't stand him, how tired they were of him asking them about the pencil sharpeners, how much they wanted to get away from him, how much they even hated things about him like his hair and smell, even though he arrived to work fully bathed and hair brushed every day.

Whatever was going on with Stanley Aurelius was... a bit of a mess.

Caity's 2023 Most Enjoyed List

This isn't a real reclist, but a list for me to squirrel away all the things I enjoyed this year before it's over. It's a little all over the place but this was a mess of a year so I suppose my most enjoyed list can be a mess as well. See you later 2023, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Media:

1 - "Lena" by qntm. This is a very short story in the format of a Wikipedia article that gives me so many delightful shivery feelings about consciousness and trans-humanism and who owns the rights to machine learning/AI datasets. Very topical this year.

2 - Dungeon Meshi finished its publication and the final chapter made me cry real tears. I've been following the series for 8+ years and it is everything good with comics - art, world building, the engagement and subversion of fantasy tropes, relationships, story, recipes, the casual cannibalism, the ending. All perfect. Ryoko Kui is a genius. I am very excited for the anime airing next week.

"I think the entire point of this journey we went on was about learning how to accept death."

"Meals are the special privilege of the living. In order to stay alive, we need to keep eating."

3 - I read a lot of questionable cnovels this year but I really enjoyed two. The first was The Villainous Shizun Is As Beautiful As A Flower which is a shorter BL Shizun fucker cultivation romance. The arc after the MC finds his father goes on for a little too long (and the timeskip is awkward) but the MC is engaging enough that I didn't mind. This was a very fun quick read that I want to talk more about.

The second was For Love of the Game which is an e-sports danmei where an former actor falls in love with the captain of his fake League of Legends team (lmao). Look. Okay. I was on a kick and actually read FOUR e-sports BL novels this year and this was the one I enjoyed the most. I loved that the MC and ML had an established relationship before ever meeting face to face. Some of the reviews are salty about the ML's sneaky plotting side but both I and the MC were into it! The MC was even into the terrible secondhand embarrassing singing confession scene. But beyond the main couple, I LOVED the side paring of their "old" player and the captain on the rival team. I even got into the stupid video game strategy stuff. I had a great time.

I also re-read Who Dares Slander My Senior Brother and Where is Our Agreement to be Each Other’s Arch-Rivals? now that the translations are finished and enjoyed both of them again free from the tortures of machine translated cultivation terms. I still think both suffer from 3rd act issues. But damn did I like both ships.

(As a note - this is a list of likes but my highest high to highest disappointment cnovel was Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn which I'm not even going to link because I'm still mad about it. The idol arc and the triple baby swap reveal made me so crazy invested I was literally telling my sisters the entire plot scene by scene as I read. But the last couple arcs ruined the romance/plot. I HATED the ML by the end. What haaaaappened.)

4 - I remained pretty into the SCP Foundation this year, but instead of the wiki itself, I spent a lot of time listening to the SCP Archives podcast and The Exploring Series podcast episodes. I really enjoyed the radio play aspect of the SPCA but I also enjoy how the Exploring series is just listening to some dude give you lore dumps. Its the ideal painting, journaling, chore, driving, etc. podcast for me. Check out Exploring the SCP Foundation: The ABCs of Death (Compilation) for TWELVE HOURS of great SCPs. Crazy stuff.

5 - Fire Emblem Engage and Fire Emblem Heroes. Not a ton to say on these but I enjoyed them! Ike/Soren continues to cook in FEH and I finished up merging/ascending my Eirika collection because she is the prettiest princess in the entire world.

6 - Among Us. I played..... a lot of Among Us this year with both my discord friends and new friends. Moving on.

7 - Silo on Apple TV. I'm a little burnt out on apocalypse media right now but I started watching Silo when I was also reading Red Rising and it got my brain working on all of these humanity is most human in the soil! the unfeeling earth feeds us! kinda thoughts. Rebecca Ferguson is the prettiest woman in the entire world.

8 - Speaking of digging, @Kala on Tiktok who is tunneling a "suburban mine" under her house, presumably in an HOA community the eastern United States. Kala is actually in the process of being cancelled right now and people are making very boring "I told you so" videos because someone finally snitched on her to authorities for not having a permit to dig, install electrical work, weld, reinforce, "mine", etc. under her property. Obviously this is bad! This is not how people engaging in the social contract/not experiencing some sort of mental illness do things! But I work in Construction/Engineering and am still fully obsessed with her. Hobby tunneling is so fascinating and here is someone who is documenting it for the internet. Let her dig!

Non-Media Related Likes:

1 - Volunteering once a month at my local hospital. I LOVED THIS. I got to hang out with friends and gossip for a couple hours every month, cook new giant recipes for families going through a hard time, and give back. Definitely going to continue this next year.

2 - Summer floating after work in my special "secret" river spot with a big floppy sunhat, a couple ciders, and someone to chat and watch the local birds (herons, turkey vultures, albatross, blackbirds) with. I brought 3 separate dates floating this year and it was the best idea. Will be happening again.

3 - Espresso martinis. I was actually sober for most of this year because I discovered I just like a fancy drink/excuse to go out and don't actually need the alcohol (and it's cheaper). But espresso martinis from this one tiny wood paneled bar in North Portland decorated like a hunting lodge where they make them extra frosted and sweet? Obsessed.

4 - Live music. Nothing as crazy as last year's 23 shows & 2 festivals (thank god) but shouting along to 'Batman' live at the perfect Front Bottoms show in late summer. The Michigander concert that I didn't even want to go to that felt like a house show. The Beaches on Christmas. Tons of local shows at Turn Turn (rip). So fun.

5 - Parasailing. I had never parasailed before my trip to Mexico this year. Who was gonna tell me it fucks! I want to go again right now.

6 - The weird local actor/play scene in Portland. I'm talking about a Cthulhu puppet show, publicly submitted one acts, a live acted Harry Potter rewrite where people shout along to Oppenheimer quotes, a horror fest in a theater so small they make you leave between acts and everyone in the lobby is talking about clown classes, and a one-man gay musical about ghosts. Where else except local theater will you spend $10 and a few hours watching someone pretend sprinkle themselves with seasonings and shove themselves in a large pot. This is the arts, babe. I am only going to attend more of these shows in 2024.

Last Halloween post!

See, I say that, but it might be a flat out lie. I don't know yet. Might get on here to gush about the new FNAF movie after me and the teenager go see it. We'll see!

Anyway, I've been binging on @scp-foundation-official goodness. Like, anything I can get my hands on. Ouroborus Cycle is still my absolute favorite, but the other ones are amazing. The Exploring Series is doing a huge, daily, SCP reading of the ABCs of Death. It's amazing.

I think my favorite, besides the aforementioned 001 proposal, is SCP-3989: The Bone Orchard.

There's something just so creepy about this one. Yes, it's got the intrigue and gory and horror you'd expect from a great SCP entry, but there's just something about this one. Maybe the possibility it could happen to any agent? Or to anyone really? If you managed to stumble into this weird, terrifying little pocket.

Or, you know what? It's the trees. At first glance, they look like a pale variety of apple trees. It's touching the cursed things that makes the situation go sideways. I shudder just thinking about it.
