"What if i told you that you just read that right now?"

I love these "scattered esoterica"-type SCPs.

agreed. i think the fact that they aren't that common makes that more special, especially since writing them well is a real challenge. glad to see another good one pop up on the site.

Yup, you really nailed the DoA vibe, this was amazing. I think I got most of the stuff, but even the parts I couldn't quite connect to anything were really cool.

Lots of classic and recent references. Here's the ones I picked up.

Id
Our best life: Iris (omega-7, not Dark)? She deals with photographs that can "move"
The black vault:
Tome of cosmic madness: freebie. 1425.
Money for nothing: Amos Marshall of MCD buying concepts from Envelope logistics

Ego
Notes on homunculi:
Anathema: Clef's reality bender seminar
Emojis: 2521
Bradbury: seems like AWCY but thats all I have

Mort
Babel:
Nameless: the whole antimemetics division
Seven wives: scarlet king and 231
Epitaph: end of death canon

Deus
Godhood: Swann's proposal?

I think "Our Best Life" is a reference to Alison Cho, AKA The Black Queen.

AwareWeb 25 Jul 2019 10:18

"Epitaph" connects to Tanhony's proposal: Dead Men; mentions the same GoI.

Not actually that well aware.

ProfessorCarvalho 25 Jul 2019 12:41

Nah, fam. It's a JoJo reference.

Uncle Nicolini 25 Jul 2019 12:48

Why not both?

hat on pat 26 Jul 2019 21:38

I think I the black vault is a reference to the Chicago Spirit.

While the snake hunting one seems like clef’s seminar, I think it is actually from his time as a GoC agent. (He was called agent Ukulele, so agent U)

notes on homonculi is wondertainment like with the misters and such. also theres the golden w for wondertainment

Tuice Tayna 21 Aug 2019 06:27

Late to the party but maybe Godhood and the how to write a story thing is meta for the author basically having made this crossover of stories like a god might?

Gabriel McQueen 18 Feb 2020 20:26

Re: Bradbury, isn't "Book-Burners" how the Hand refer to the GOC?

TheJonyMyster 12 Aug 2019 02:43

This feels akin to an 001 with how much it covers, but at the same time it's good to know we can have connective SCPs like this out of the 001 slot(s).

Connor MacWarren 17 Jun 2020 19:33

I'm pretty that last one is either meant to be a reference to Swann's or Ball's proposal.

I read this a long time ago, but yeah, this is always worth coming back to. Great microfiction; really gets the gears turning on the references and implications!
