This is the discussion related to the wiki page LTE-8686-Yellow-Kewpie.
This is a picture of a business woman from Belgium. I think its funny that her photo is being used to represent an scp the destroys money.
I'm not really seeing much going on here — I like the little world-building of the Foundation redesignating slots1, but everything here just comes off as kind of predictable. There's no larger twist or subversion, I guess.
And I don't want to be abrasive, but the inclusion of references to the Decom. Department beyond a name drop seem superfluous. They don't add anything to the article in my mind. There's a sort of horror that can be derived here, of the line between Foundation and GOC dogma being blurred, but it's not really… executed in this article. I think.
Always nice to see GoI stuff and I think this is one that made especially good use of it's format. There was a lot of good world building here and I appreciated the insight into the decommission/termination approval process. I also enjoyed seeing the Foundation and GOC work together even if the termination of LTE-8686 is pretty tragic. Definitely an upvote for me.
It is currently estimated that over twelve million dollars have been lost to deconceptualization.
And upvoted. I also like how the GOC had to fill out a form before proceeding. Insights on how negotiations work between the two are always fun for me.

Making this connection between the GOC and the Decomm department is a nice little development, but like those above I can't say that there's really much else to recommend here. The anomaly is pretty bland, and I never really feel anything for any of the characters involved.
-1 I guess.
like, i get that the scp slot was redesignated so it's sorta make sense that scp-3992 has nothing to do with this story. but "Type-Yellow entity, rather than a Type-Purple"? i don't get it.
Type Yellow: Shapeshifter.
Type Purple: Astral Projector.
(from here)
so what those types was intended to mean? because i'm pretty sure that astral projections and shapeshifting wasn't what the author intended.
before the change in April, Type Yellows were to stand for psychics.
So she knows the future a few days ahead, but she also destroys currency value. Now her codes need to be changed.
Yeah, gotta agree with its detractors: This piece is just too straightforward. What's gonna happen is told in the first fifth of the piece, and this doesn't change at any point, making everything else on the article feel like filler. It's competently written, yes, but the plot progression is just not really exciting at all. The ending produces no sort of impact because a) we've known this all already, and b) the main anomaly just isn't explored enough to make the impact be felt.
