This is an SCP about not being sure where you stand with your online friends. It's also about more stuff, but that's what I keep coming back to.

Edit: Thanks to Communism Will Win, Scarhaver, and Monkeysky for reading this thing and helping me out.

Edit 2: My authorial canon is that MTF G-42 call themselves "Buzzkills" 'cuz their job mostly consists of terrifying teens getting stoned in "haunted houses" and beneath bridges.

Edit 3: Picture taken by me of ILLEGAL GRAFFITI underneath a bridge in the Cleveland Metroparks.

I just realized that there is a Little Mister in 3 scp series, but there can't be a Little Mister in 4 because they're all gone now. Now, all we need to do is put a GAW mister in Series 2 somehow…

I'm working on making one but it's tough stuff.

Decibelles 03 May 2017 19:51

This hits me pretty hard; I feel like I can relate to 3012 to a fair degree.

Similarly. My feelings are a bit too complicated for me to just dump them all out here, but all of the ones that pertain to this article are positive.

I also do like how this continues the 'horror' theme from the other contest entries — future generations could be forgiven for thinking it was part of the 3000 contest.

Man. This was really fucking well done, to the point where I couldn't tell it was supposed to be part of that series until a good chunk of the way into the article, which was a cool surprise. It subverts and plays around with a lot of creepy pasta and horror tropes quite nicely, and I'm happy to give it my +1.

IDEA : Once we are done filling in all the GAW characters, we make a sequal to dr. wondertainment's little misters.

Heh, this is a good GAW skip. Also the first skip in general to make me smile and feel sad at the same time, like a subdued sort of joy mixed with… Pity? Sympathy? Grief doesn't seem right.

Good work.

Vole Friend 03 May 2017 23:56

I'm sort of confused about the chain of events here, unless I'm missing something. It seems from the last interview that 3012 died or faded out somehow, but now they're just uncontained? Maybe add some more clarification.

Other than that, +1- this is such a real and relatable character, which is what I love about GAW.

VioletWeavile 04 May 2017 02:15

From what I can gather, 3012's physical body is gone, but his consciousness still exists and can cause the Dybbuk events. However with no physical body to communicate with, it's not possible to conduct more interviews, and since previous containment relied on the physical body those methods no longer work

DolphinSlugchugger 04 May 2017 02:28

its the mother fuckin babadybbuk

anyway. damn. the string coming out of the fingers got me for some reason, and the character cuts me right where it counts. makes me want to write again.

GAW is at its best when it steps away from the memes and focuses on the people who make the memes. If this trend continues I may re-evaluate my position on the group as a whole.

Decibelles 04 May 2017 03:58

I also recommend (if you're looking for GAW stuff in this vein) SCP-2726, Different Kinds of Nihilism, SCP-1168, What Passes as Normal in the Digital Age, The Assassination of Beleaguered Normalcy by the Coward Gamers Against Weed, and Shocking Ignorance Regarding Anything Resembling a Structured Set of Rules to be Applied Fairly.

kinchtheknifeblade 04 May 2017 04:02

Those two tales are my best GAW pieces next to this, imo.

Buttfranklin 04 May 2017 22:07

I'm with you here. I'm even willing to switch my level of hatred for this GOI from 'unbridled' to 'bridled'.

But, speaking to my personal enjoyment of the articles, I think the novelty of GAW is going to run dry before it has a chance to drive a continued trend away from its lolmemes origin. My emotional mileage on internet chatroom sociology was limited to begin with, given that I'm not one of those folks who really identifies with GAW's IRC characters.

kinchtheknifeblade 04 May 2017 22:11

I honestly don't think any GAW article I've written is "lolmemes" so I've been really confused as to why people keep bringing this up here.

Decibelles 04 May 2017 22:15

I feel that people think it's "lolmemes" because they're so tunnel-visioned on the group name, a Bernie Sanders article that the creators of the GoI didn't even write, and the fact that the group is made up of young adults/teenagers who hang out on IRC, that they don't really realize that there's surprisingly few GAW articles that are "lolmemes".

kinchtheknifeblade 04 May 2017 22:17

Maybe 2293 is a meme? It's one made up for the article, tho. Different Kind of Nihilism is about suicide and political depression. What Passes As Normal is about being trans. There's nothing lolmemes about those two, and it's really fucking ignorant when it keeps getting thrown around in reference to my works.

Buttfranklin 04 May 2017 22:40

I'm sorry that I'm making an association that you feel is unfair and not fitting the gravity of your work. But I've never read those two tales of yours, and I have read the Misters Against Weed and that Bernie Sanders, and it's the articles I've read rather than the ones I haven't read that formed my opinion of this GOI, unsurprisingly!

I don't think you should expect folks to read absolutely all of your oeuvre and everything under a GOI tag before they're allowed to have an opinion on one of your articles.

Buttfranklin 04 May 2017 22:26

I suppose I'm using 'lolmemes' as an emotional shorthand for how I see basis and tone of GAW. The whole concept of having "Misters Against Weed" feels very tongue-in-cheek, meta and overly humour-focused to me - 'lolmemes', in other words.

Taffeta 04 May 2017 04:02

It's viscerally uncomfortable having to read this guy's dialogue: the childish little repetition of "dorko", the swears almost compulsively thrown into his speech, the sentences crushed into stilted rhythms that sit uncomfortably on the ear like so much broken glass… for such a hollow man, maybe ending it with not a bang but a whimper was an appropriate choice.

+1 as someone who's had to sit on both sides of this.
