Dr. Dafydd's Personnel File
What we were, our former names
We aren't quite sure from where we came.
- Gregory J. Holgate
Name: Dr. Zachary Taliesin Dafydd
Security Clearance Level: 3
Department: Department of Anomalous Humanoid Psychology, Formerly Department of Oneirology Studies
Occupation: Psychoanalysis, Oneirologist, Field Researcher
Location: Site-12, Formerly Site-59
Profile: A steel hand in a cotton glove and an example of the benefits of the Dartmoor Agreement, Dr. Dafydd is one of the Foundation's greatest assets in anomalous behaviour management and has made significant improvements, resulting in personnel-anomaly cooperation reaching an all-time high in a number of sites. Stationed at Site-12, the good doctor is usually seen either drinking rum spiked tea, studying the latest papers on oneiric therapy, monitoring SCPs' behaviour, or drawing crude pictures of Sidhe in painful positions. Addressing the Sidhe or related topics around Dr. Dafydd is not recommended.
A number of rumours surround Dr. Dafydd. These include his past with the Serpent's Hand, his ability to speak Purple, his affair with the Mayor of Three Portland and his grand collection of stuffed toys, his favourite being a rabbit called Blackberry. The one rumour that is circulated the most, however, is the origin of his theriomorphism. Many a time has Dr. Dafydd been asked the reason for his rabbit form and many a time has he provided a possible answer. The most popular answer being, "I really like carrots", followed by a twitch of the nose.
SCP-6879: Mr. Kaboom
[11 Aug 2022 12:17] [+38] (10 comments)
Whilst at Site-██, SCP-6879 continued to behave erratically. On top of sleep deprivation, they also began talking in their sleep, resumed thumb sucking and showed signs of isolation and dissociation.
This wasn't my first SCP idea. I went through about 10 before I finally succeed with this one. Originally, it was supposed to focus solely on 6879 and the Lighthouse. However, as I wrote, I listen to the following song. This made me rethink my approach and shift focus. One which showed us that Dr. Wondertainment wasn't the all-loving, toymaker we all believe him/her/them/it to be. I also wanted the Foundation to be the good guys for once. It is nice to have a story once in a while with a happy ending.
SCP-6475:
Playtime's Over, Charlie
[30 Aug 2022 20:34] [+22] (7 comments)
Siwan Caradog was impacted more than any other specialist and suffered from a nervous breakdown a few days later. Caradog was given two weeks of immediate leave in order to recover.
This only took me about a month to develop. As this was my second go, I was able to write and format it much faster. I got the idea after reading SCP-6999 and the Spectral Affairs article, a result of departmentcon2022. As a Sandman fan, I've always liked works where death is depicted as sad, but not depressive. I wanted to do my own spin on that.
SCP-6916:
Hiraeth and the Land of My Fathers
[14 Nov 2022 13:46] [+31] (4 comments)
A World Full of Weeping - Part 1
Subject finds themselves walking along a beach during a thunderstorm. The beach's composition and size vary but the presents of the storm is consistent. In the background, the faint sound of bells can be heard.
If it's not obvious, I am Welsh.
A proud Welshman. Reading a lot of F120 and All Fronts, I saw a lot of stuff involving Irish and semi-Celtic mythology and I wanted to do something like that. One of the most important stories of Welsh heritage, and a favourite of mine, are the tales of the Mabinogi, a four-part story that involves magical afterlives, proud kings and monsters like giants, fairies and dragons. Some scholars believe that prior to Britain's Christianisation, the characters in the stories were considered gods.
Mixed with a sense of pride and admiration, I decided to try and write something both close to my heritage and something that could provide influential material to the wiki. Who knows, maybe I'll continue this story in the future.
SCP-6505:
The Church Grims
[29 Dec 2022 23:24] [+25] (4 comments)
On 09/05/1999, an SCP-6505 event was activated in the St Illtyd's Church's graveyard in Bro Morgannwg, Wales. The activator, Cadi Iolo, was visiting her father's grave at the time.
This took some time. Not only because it was over Christmas but also because I struggled with writing in a style found from another period. Luckily, I had help from a very capable writer. This came to me after looking into SCP-023 and how the UK appears to be obsessed with ghost doggies. Not all of them are the ooky spooky Hound of the Baskerville kind of dogs but the all do share the death omen air and black coat so I decided to try and tie things together.
SCP-6796:
Come away, O human child…
[19 May 2023 08:26] [+22] (12 comments)
A World Full of Weeping - Part 3
Personnel attempted to detain Mr. Quince but were unsuccessful, with many of the personnel being killed in the brawl. Mr. Quince then breached containment and managed to escape Site-24, killing 2 and injuring 6 members of personnel while escaping.
My first contest entry ever, this was done for Goblin Con for the 6467 entry (Fantasy Goblin). I wanted to do something a little different than what was obvious, and I took inspiration from the myth of the changelings. I had also just finished DC vs. Vampires and Torchwood, so I also took inspiration from the concept of sleeper agents. Adding in some 4000 lore and I was done. Am I proud of it? A little. In hindsight, I think I could've done better.
SCP-7669:
It's Hard to Comprehend
[10 Jul 2023 20:55] [+50] (15 comments)
As expected, D-7787 could not remember what had occurred during the experiment but made several requests to witness SCP-7669 again. All requests were denied. D-7787's [DATA EXPUNGED] was removed from the SCP-7669 instance by personnel with Class-3 Memetic Resistance training.
My tied winning entry for The Mighty Lore and Aesthetics Contest, where I was given the Constraints of Abstract and Caldeira. This is by far the weirdest SCP I've ever done. Not just because it involves a sex-focused GoI, but because this all started when someone said, "Pattern Moaners". I am rather pleased with this one, simply because of how inventive I think it is.
Site-12: Secure Facility Dossier: Site-12
[11 Dec 2022 22:52] [+21] (1 comments)
Overseen by the Department of History and Archival Department, Site-12's library houses the largest collection of anomalous history within the Foundation and continues to grow.
Site-12 has been in the back of my mind ever since I read Site-44's Dossier. I've always like the idea of a site underground but not like the ones found in America. All concrete and dust. I want one with class. So, I made of with history, with mystery and a lovely library.
Nx-02: Annwn
[09 May 2023 13:17] [+19] (5 comments)
A World Full of Weeping - Part 2
Currently, due to differences in goals, relations between the Foundation and Arawn ap Carnonos are strained, with the latter revoking all access to Nx-02 from Foundation personnel.
Nx-02 came about after I finished 6916 and War On All Fronts. I decided I wanted to continue expanding on the stories involving Celtic and Irish mythology and fairy folklore. Also, lets expand on why exactly the Fae left their comfy little home.
History of Behemoths
[27 Jul 2023 13:28] [+15] (5 comments)
A World Full of Weeping - Prequel
As the Flame began again, Nahash joined in their gesturing and movements. The fires in the shield grew and towered the two, filling the air with several dancing figures of fire, each accompanied by a small, white entity with green eyes. They swarmed around the two figures. The Behemoth and the Flame.
I am a huge fan of the War On All Fronts Canon. And after reading them again and again, I decided to kind of write an origin story for the Behemoths and the Serpent, and also give a reason why the Serpent became the guardian of the Wanderer's Library and how the Tree actually became a Library in the first place. This also may come into play in my own little series coming soon.
A Brief Introduction to Thaumaturgical Engineering
[21 Aug 2023 14:51] [+15] (3 comments)
"In the anomalous world, Akiva Radiation is also known as Divine Grace, Yǐncáng shéngzi and Sruth. Here, in The Foundation, we use the term Akiva Radiation or, in a rush, just Akiva. What is it? Putting it simply, it's a subatomic particle that gravitates towards and coalesces around matter with thaumaturgical capabilities or properties. Just like a moth to a flame."
Inspired by all the orientations and thing I've read since I came here. Monologue is a fun way of telling a story I think, as it's kind of up to the listener/reader to figure out the reason of the goings on around the speaker. Allows for a great deal of creative room. Also, I like the works of Terry Pratchett and Joyce Grenfell, who'd often write and perform using monologue. I also wanted to put my own spin on Akiva Radiation as - not to insult anyone - I find the way magic is written in
some skips and tales to be a bit - overcomplicated.

Shwmae.
Real me talking here. The real 
arthcymro. You can refer to me as Arth.
Been here since Nov 2020, but started making monsters and myths in 2022. Note to newbies, start small. You can thank The Exploring Series for my presents here. What do I like to write about? Hmmmmm. Not really sure. I guess I prefer the lighter side of things. No world-ending abominations or metaphysical nonsense. I more about the history and the adventures, with maybe some tears shed here and there.
What do I do outside of this?
…
None of your business.
Noswaith dda.
