My first SCP! A homage/love letter to the edutainment genre of youtube videos, and even more so those parodying them. The idea of a world without a broken veil, but where little bits of the anomalous manage to slip through the gaps despite the Foundation's best efforts always interested me, so I decided to take a look at how that might go down.

Thanks to the late night #thecritters crowd and anyone else who took a look at this. If I missed you on this list, shoot me a dm and I'll happily add you:

I liked this when I read it as a draft and I like it now that it's on the site. Easy upvote for a cool concept executed well.

I really liked this!

this is good stuff. something a lot of first SCPs get wrong is character dialogue — even if it's just one character. you really made this person feel human; specifically a human going too far down a rabbit hole and losing everything because of it.

keep at it because this one was good. +1.

Thank you for the kind words :D

I was very worried about Flagg coming across as shallow or flat, so that's really encouraging to hear that it wasn't the case. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece.

I really liked this! You've nailed those types of videos in the dialogue, and the dramatic irony of knowing this is going to go bad for Flagg is a great motivator to keep reading!

Oh hey, I remember reading this as a draft! It was really neat back then, and it still is now. +1

I really enjoyed this! I love SCPs that involve unaware, average people coming into contact with anomalous entities or knowledge. Great depiction of Flagg's response to his discovery — felt very real!

Are we missing the antimemetic tag?

Damn this dude just Fifth'd himself out of existence!

Great job — genuinely terrifying progression.

Welp. Play dumb games, win dumb prizes. This guy really did this to himself, huh? Anyhow, really liked this one: The progression was gold, honestly; loved seeing this guy fall apart at the discovery of antimemes and the like.

Easy +1~
