Thesis: there's something inherently scary about humor. It's a refuge, a desperate charade, a coping mechanism in the face of a meaningless unjust cold universe and a life full of daily discomfort and hardships. Antithesis: there's something inherently epic about memes. This is my humble synthesis.

Thanks to TheMightyMcB who helped so much in all stages he's practically a co-author, to Waxwing-one for their great insights (notably coming up with the idea of a compilation of doodles), and to DarkStuff for his very helpful critique!

I'm the author of all images.

You spoil me 440, but the writing and the memes are all yours (except that one line).

This is excellent, so take my updoot. +1

Your core concept’s brilliant, and I think you nailed the execution.

You take the tonal screw far enough to be effective, without overdoing it; I admire how well you judged the balance. Great work 440!

Glad you liked the development! It was tough deciding whether to do a "two levels of clearance" reveal, but in the end I really liked the feeling of a deliberate controlled cognitive dissonance. Like in the ConProcs with the "factual accuracy is optional (for instance, the entity was keter but we changed our mind since it's a lame doodoohead)" thing.

Lmao, look at this idiot anomaly. What a stupid, bumbling fool.

(Very well done with this. The level to which you take the concept seriously in spite of its inherently humorous nature is honestly impressive. Upvote with gusto, and I might have to contribute to the drawing log later :P)

Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed it! I just looked at your artwork page and your stuff is really slick and creatively weird, I love it, a contribution from you would be awesome!

This anomaly is so utterly useless that it could be contained by freaking DURBAL, of all things.

Article’s nice tho. +1

The only issue I have with this SCP is that it hardly warrants containing for something so trivial and easily defeated. +1

Just got this thing to a rating of +69, which is exactly what it deserves

I absolutely love the concept, and the way you play it makes it seem like a normal, clerical foundation writer was trying to efficiently and concisely make fun of it, and it works PERFECTLY. This is a favorite. +1
