This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-035.
How do we know if it changes records, or if it affects a persons memory to think it was in the other state?
Wrong page ops. Please delete
9 years and still no delete, p.s which article were you talking about, it sounds good.
who uses this feature anyway?
(account deleted)You just answered a thing from 9 years ago

Staff only delete comments that contain severe rulebreaking material.
Also, replies to older comments are fine if the comment furthers the conversation in a meaningful way, and the conversation is still ongoing (e.g., not a question or critique thread that hasn't been active in years).
In that case, hello from 13 years after the original comment, oh how time flies.
Wow, SCP has been around for so long.
I really like this SCP, it's really interesting and cool, but why hasn't anything been done to get rid of this one? It's causing most of it's research staff to commit suicide before 148 and after 148 gets put up it eats through it in two months or so. I know i'm a new guy and I'm probably gonna be told to shut up and stand in the corner but why keep this thing around if all it does is chew through 148 and kill off researchers.
Actually, I've been meaning to add an addendum to that nature, mainly saying that it's been theorized that considering the way it acts the mask may be keeping it in check, or that bad shit could happen if the mask was destroyed.
I'm not sure what you mean. The mask is keeping the corrosive liquid in check, with the liquid being the entity responsible for the telepathy and suicides? At any rate, yeah, I like the SCP as well, but it seems like it should be at least slated for destruction.
No, the liquid is just a side effect, or a physical manifestation. The consciousness inside is the entity responsible for all the bad stuff.
Considering it's able to possess anything it's placed on the face of, it's possible it could be only "held" inside the mask.
But yeah, I should give it a couple destruction attempts, or at least an explanation why not.
I had the same question, was rereading for an 'invulnerable', but you make a good argument- EXCEPT, kinda: we could toss the entire mask into SCP 101, couldn't we? It's not harmed by the liquid, and being extradimensional, even if the consciousness escaped, it might be contained.
Yeah, that's the problem. Might be contained is too much risk for something like this.
I Noticed Time By Time That SCP-035’s Picture Changes Time by Time. Rather To Smile Or To Show Tragedy. Is The Page Being Constantly Changed So SCP-035’s Face Is Different? It Makes Me Wonder Mr Kain
Doctor Ranen Kim, as per the rest of the discussion thread, the image itself changes because it's a .gif (animated) file.
Additionally, you're replying to a post that is from 2009, and thus almost 9 years old. Please do not necropost in the future.
Furthermore, if you want to be taken seriously on a writing site that specializes in professional-level tone, please use proper capitalization when making discussion posts.
A bit of love for the newcomer, darling. Elsewise, those butterflies of yours won't listen anymore.
Alainpbat, this is a contentless reply to a post over a month old; please don't necropost.
Much more importantly, making discussion posts that personally antagonize other users is against the rules. Don't do this again.
What would really be scary is if the writer randomly changed the face from comedy to tragedy.
It actually does change. It just changed right in front of me. O_O
The Foundation is not Destroy Destroy Destroy, but Secure Contain Protect.
It's okay, i'm weirded out too.
You could use the masks' persuasive power as a reason for it not having been destroyed. The motion to destroy it could have come up, but it's tied up in debate due to strong resistance from everyone connected with the SCP.
It seems more like the persuasive powers is the SCP demoralizing people and leading them to suicide. Also, it doesn't seem to influence people directly unless it can speak through a host. The way I read it is that it brings about negative feelings in everyone near it.
Or at least, a picture of what it would look like if it weren't constantly oozing acidic glop…. I figure it looks sinister enough to be SCP-035, but there's no way I could make it look like it's really secreting its stuff, so I hope the "artist's depiction" is an acceptable compromise.
Since the mask secretes goo that turns everything into more goo, how was it contained in a "sealed crypt in Venice"? If it sat anywhere for long, it would eat straight through whatever surface it laid on, and eventually straight down into the ground.
Even disregarding the acidic effect, why hasn't the goo filled up the box (and then the room, and then the whole facility)? If it's being removed by personnel, they have to be doing something with it. No matter how slow the seepage is, it will have produced a whole hell of a lot of the stuff over the last hundred-plus years.
For the thing in Venice, it may have been positioned over a seepage vent and discharging directly into the Venetian sewage canals (which may explain the crumbling structural integrity of some districts in Venice…).
As the box is regularly changed with another after its filled after a certain point and gotten rid of via SCP-101, which is explained early on in the entry.
On the subject of why it has not been destroyed. How about this?
"Translations of the passages generated by SCP-035 are incoherent, consistent of the speech patterns of a type 9 existentially compromised psychological make-up. Decryption and interpretation of these passages is ongoing but preliminary analysis indicates that SCP-035 may have been created to seal or restrain an unknown force. Destruction is not advised."
Also, why is the telekill alloy being eaten through? Why isn't it imbedded in the walls and those walls repaired as the corrosion progresses? There is no need to even let the alloy get touched by the slime.
It says that its appearance changes to a tragedy mask every now and then, and any depictions of it also change. Should someone do a photoshop of the image to make it a tragedy mask, so we can change the image every so often?
Yes. Very Yes. Get right on it.
I tried, but I've only had one digital art class in my entire life, so it ended up looking ridiculous and I had to scrap it.
If only I could get someone with more experience…
or an actual tragedy mask.
A google image search for tragedy mask led me to this picture of a comedy and accompanying tragedy that I believe to be the source of the pic currently being used.

I've always liked this one, as it was the one that got me to the site in the first place. It's a bit messy, and more from the site as it used to be than as it is now, but it's still pretty nice.
You know what you should do? Include the occasionally switches to a tragedy mask bit in a way that affects all images of it by having a random element in the page image. Kind of like SCP-228, but with weighted probabilities between only two options.
EDIT: Hey, didn't read the stuff above me. Yeah, just like that. I bet we could automate that process.
