That is SCP-173

A terrifying nope.

[–]rawrc 9 points10 points ago

I love that site.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

[–]pichulove 5 points6 points ago

Omg SCP. No no no no. A whole lot of nope.

[–]afroserty 5 points6 points ago

It's a sculpture from a japanese artist I believe, but it's more commonly known as the image of SCP 173 on the SCP foundation website.

[–]kjh242 5 points6 points ago

if you know the name of this japanese artist, I wish to go punch him in the face for creating this thing. Weeping Angels aren't terrifying. This thing is.

[–]flaggfox 2 points3 points ago

Weeping angels go into your EYE! But this thing can take on SCP-682, so that is pretty bad ass.

[–]kjh242 1 point2 points ago

weeping angels can be temporarily immobilized by mirrors and kill to feed. 173 breaks necks for the lulz and can only be stopped by human observation. I've always wondered though, what would happen if they put 682 in 001's "event horizon"?

[–]flaggfox 1 point2 points ago

Not just human observation. They had to shoot out 682's eyes for 173 to do his thing. As far as 001. There is no designated Scp-001.

[–]kjh242 2 points3 points ago

001 as under Dr. Clef's Proposal, then.

[–]flaggfox 0 points1 point ago

After 076's experience I can only assume we'd be tempting an apocalypse by throwing something that hostile at the gatekeeper.

[–]kjh242 1 point2 points ago

presumably that's why that particular test is banned. Maybe it's what incites that transmission from the future they receive at the end of that report.

[–]DZEEx 0 points1 point ago

dont want to go digging in that scp site, not just before bed now. Whats so amazing about scp-682 and 001? what are they and why is it amazing that this guy can take on 682?

[–]SamuraiStormtrooper 0 points1 point ago

I don't have the attention span to read as much of that site as you three have.

[–]LemurianLemurLad 0 points1 point ago

682 is "hard to kill." This is a wee bit of an understatement as the SCP society throws pretty much anything they can at it and it always goes berserk and kills. Every once in a while, something will slow it down, but it "adapts" and is no longer bothered by that thing any more. If you're familiar with the DC comics character "Doomsday", 682 is pretty much an exact copy of his powers.

If you're interested in the SCP site, 682 is one of the most linked articles because pretty much any Euclid or Keter class object that isn't horrifically dangerous to interact with gets thrown at it to see if it's actually more dangerous than him. Spoiler: nothing is ever tougher than 682.

[–]kjh242 0 points1 point ago

001 has several different SCP's listed under it, this particular one is, I believe, Adam or something (part of the report has a transmission from the future reading, in part "Cain and Abel, my two sons..."), and he guards a rift into what is presumably the garden of Eden/heaven. Anything that approaches or attacks it is destroyed by his sword. 682 is a giant monster. It cannot be killed by any means we have insofar, and has incredible powers of adaptation and regrowth. It was put in a room with 173 and the lights were shut off for like a minute, after which the two stayed in opposite corners of the room, while 682 grew dozens of extra eyes to watch 173 after healing extensive head and neck damage. Other than that, it can kill pretty much anything, and hates humans with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. That's the condensed version, 682's file is ENORMOUS.

[–]endon40 0 points1 point ago

I remember reading a test about 173. It may have involved the tree that clones things (I don't remember which SCP it is. r/scp might dig it up for you). Anyway, basically... the "direct observation" thing is wrong. According to the test log I read, 173 CAN move while under direct observation.

It just doesn't.

[–]NDWolfwood5268 0 points1 point ago

I thought this too, but per the document on 001, they were 'told' by the entity to not use it for disposal of other SCP's. 001, being what it is, everyone is basically 'forced' to comply.

My guess is if they tried it, it'd treat the people who ordered 682's release as the source of the 'threat' and destroy them like the Indian Ocean sub experiment.

[–]CrimsonLoyalty 3 points4 points ago

So...what is SCP?

Is that a real thing, or some awesome sci-fi/horror website?

[–]DEMON_OF_WAR 4 points5 points ago

SCP, Secure Contain Protect, website: http://www.scp-wiki.net/ ,my favorite SCP-127

[–]TheVig 1 point2 points ago

I'd suggest checking it out. http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/

It's quite entertaining.

[–]stormbeta 1 point2 points ago

Consider it the bastard offspring of creepypasta and fanfiction that's fond of breaking the fourth wall.

[–]LemurianLemurLad 1 point2 points ago

Not a real thing. It's basically a wiki of made up thingies that are being "Studied, Contained or Protected." It's a fun, collaborative but ultimately fictional website vaguely similar to the premise of the show Warehouse 13.

I'm slowly reading my way through it. Usually a few hours a week. It's mostly sci-fi with a few spooky things here and there.

http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-series is the main page you're going to want to hit. Just pick a few random articles from anywhre on the list. My two favorites are 087 (which is one of the rare scary ones, imho) and 682 which is a true fan-favorite. You will encounter some in-universe jargon that won't intially mean anything to you, but don't bother to read the faqs until you've read a few random articles to see if learning the jargon is worth your time.

[–]Waitwho 2 points3 points ago

Ya'know, it kinda looks like a human version of that cat with no face.

[–]CarolineJohnson 2 points3 points ago
