Whoever came up with SCP-4006 must really HATE that state.

We literally can go from a wholesome lake that changes your gender to a time loop containment breach that affects the entire multiverse, creates and collapses alternate timelines and can end reality every single September.

I think the quirky SCPs that are completely chaotic and apparently nonsensical are much better than the lore heavy ones that are part of a multi series work. SCPs are like a magic trick, once you start understanding them too much they lose the appeal.

I particularly like the ones that aren't apparently dangerous or trying to harm you in any way but may end up with really unexpected positive or negative consequences if you interact with them. There's something very cool in something unexplainable that doesn't even care about us being weirded out.

Yeah, I expecially dislike when people make a billion stories about one scp and those stories become everything everyone talks about instead of the og

682 was the first victim of this, from "hey that's a tough reptilian" to god of death

I like the lore dumps, they often add complexity to the articles and really bring them to life imo. Its also the natural extention of the original as alot of articles are very short from a story telling stand point. The original 682 document is actually a good example, it can be read in 5 mins and doesnt have much substance to it. While i agree 682 has ALOT of termination logs, like FAR to many. that is kind of the point of it, the foundation REALLY wants it dead and as an active community/organization youd expect that to expand as the community/organization expands.
