Okay, I hope this version is workable, then. I need food.

Fantastic. I'm really impressed how readable you made "coach gets possessed by demon so he can win at footbaw". +1
this is great.
where did you come up with "in my head theres a sick silk nail" ?!?
Things being possessed by demons is always fun. Especially when you incorporate sports.
Sports friends are the best friends.
Sports… sports… sports…
if your reading this your gay
I wonder if he happened upon an orang-utan while in the Library?
How did I not make that connection until reading this?
"Feathered eye" makes me think of Quetzalcoatl. And Aztecan sports were rather more… bloody than football. Perhaps the only way for the team to win is to play more to the god/spirit/demon's strengths.

(account deleted)The journal entries made this for me, but in this case I was kind of disappointed by that. The rest of the article is just really dry and seems too bare, with the only other part really standing out at me being the Moccasins necessities.
Can someone who knows current tag standards tag this, please? I'm out of practice.
Done and done. There were a few I contemplated but didn't include (entropic, extradimensional & religious), but since I don't know the whole backstory, I thought that decision should be left up to the author.

Thanks. Aren't visual and observational redundant? I'll add entropic, certainly, since the thing in the coach is basically an entropy demon. Extradimensional maybe, religious, no.
EDIT: Huh. It's in the tag guide, but this is now the only article with the "entropic" tag.
"Observational" is more general, and could include "visual", "auditory", "olfactory", etc. Basically, sensing the thing, with ANY of the senses, triggers it. Check out the Tag Guide for more/better detail. It's what I usually use if I'm iffy on whether to add a specific tag or not.
Edit: Weird. I could've sworn we had more. Maybe they got deleted or re-tagged as something else.

What I more mean is that I would think that having "visual" would render moot the need for "observational".
You can observe something without watching it — for example, observing parts of a song.
From what I can gather, "visual" is for SCPs that only work by being viewed, like SCP-099, whereas "observational" would be for SCPs like SCP-1663 — even if you learn of its existence by hearing about it (i.e., nonvisually) it still has an effect.
This is just an absolute joy to read. Awesome work.
