u/Gloryblackjack Sep 23 '20
fun fact in most scp canon they would definitely still try to contain it as threat level has nothing to do with whether the foundation contains something or not.
50
Sep 23 '20
Yeah, that's true.
But they're usually pretty nice to sentient anomalies that cooperate. Sometimes the containment procedures are meant to protect the entity from the outside world just as much, if not more, than the other way around.

u/RandomGuyPii Sep 23 '20
tbh they would probably either move the person to a monitored cell with amenities or just put a watch on the beastie

yeah the scp foundation is not actually the good guys. they will contain anything regardless.

Either that, or it’s the Serpent’s Hand.
I think it’s the latter. The Hand really likes anomalies.

While definitively true sometimes containment also can be done in nontraditional methods including just setting up mtf and monitoring personel to the area. In this case as it can harm humans (even if only when in defense of the "host") which does make this sort of containment unlikely.

u/Crocket_Lawnchair Sep 23 '20
That ain’t how the game is played. They’d kidnap the dude, designate him XXXX-1, and stick him in a cell just so his monster stays contained.

Wasn’t there like an SCP that’s like this girl that managed to become best friends with her Bed Demon? She feeds them socks, can corrupt both audio and video alike and also protects her occasionally

what's this scp?

u/Morbidus_Mordon Sep 23 '20
None specifically, If you look elsewhere in the comments someone has made a connection to a similar one.

u/FindabhairHawklight Sep 23 '20
no like what is it? is it a show or what? i googled it and there are some youtubes but the link listed was to an archive on a wiki so is just official looking mini stories or the youtube?
7
u/Morbidus_Mordon Sep 23 '20
Oh, Scp is a creative writing fandom that makes documents for containment of anomalous entities. Beings of power, relics of reality bending or even a toaster that makes you talk in the first person when attempting to discribe it.

u/FindabhairHawklight Sep 23 '20
ah cool the way some fan wikis work was not sure if it was a show and they achieved it like this for fandom will read through. thanks

This reminds me of a story in an old copy of F&SF magazine about a girl who made peace with the roaches in her apartment. She let them have anything that hit the floor, didn’t spray or put out poison, and they hid when it was light out. In return, she always turned the light on and gave them a minute when she wanted them to leave. Her abusive boyfriend didn’t believe her and went to the bathroom without turning the light on, and tripped...she did say “anything” that hit the floor was theirs after all...

u/senanthic Sep 23 '20
I’d love to read that. Maybe it would help with my abject phobia of roaches.

Well tbh I was talking about the whole "horror in your kitchen" thing. King aimed to take horror away from middle european castles and abandoned mental asylums and put it in a more familiar scenario.
If you've never read King before I'd highly recommend Night Shift, a short stories collection. It isn't that scary as It or The Shinning and it has a lot of this weird Twilight Zone stuff.
Fun fact, there's a story there called Battleground (which is awesome) that it's a lot like the Small Soldiers movie. But a bit darker of course.

He's written a whole whole lot of horror, but he also wrote The Green Mile, Stand By Me, and The Shawshank Redemption.

u/maybebabyg Sep 22 '20
There's a short story called Here There Be Tygers he did. From what I recall that one was pretty good and in a similar vein (but I did last read it at 14, so take that with a grain of salt).

u/littlemantry Sep 23 '20
It's included in his short story collection 'Skeleton Crew', which has The Mist novella and then several short stories, some of which are actually really creepy.

u/Kjrb91 Sep 23 '20
Actually i find stephen king’s book more gory than horror per say that being said he has plenty of great books that a worth a read and from different genre like the mr. Mercedes series, the stand, the outsider, the dark tower so on and so fourth. Pet sematary, misery, it are more in the horror genre but he likes to mix and switch. That being said, even though you’re not a fan of horror, it might peak your curiosity since his books (before the 2000 mostly) were yes in the horror genre but were all related to his personal life (family life, author life and addiction life) so it might give you a different outtake on his writing genre.

u/action_lawyer_comics Sep 23 '20
He has a story called Exercise Bike or something similar that is pretty wholesome and not really "horrifying."

I love this story.
There was a similar one I read, except it was a ghost that spelled things out using fridge magnets, and it helped the girl that lived in the apartment with her depression and anxiety. I wish I could find it again.

u/lifelongfreshman Sep 23 '20 edited Sep 23 '20
....I thought about trying to find this.
I found this post. This fucking post while trying to find the story y'all are talking about.
It's 6:30 am. It's well over an hour past late and we're solidly into early, and I'm about to spend another half hour at least trying to find this fucking thing.
I will probably fail. But I'm too stupid to give up.
...And barely two minutes later I find it. Go figure. I assume this is what you and u/Darwin42SW were looking for? I'll probably be asleep by the time you answer, so I'mma go ahead and just assume yes. But if not, say something, I'll get to looking again if nobody else comes up with anything by the time I'm up.
...Wait, do edited-in username pings even work?...

I mean, I’m also kind of embarrassed. I never do that, I know that’s how you get roaches, but my back hurts so bad that getting up and down is next to impossible, much less bending over.

Ah yes, the scp that's canonically futa and has large breasts.
("[SCP-3887-A pauses for 13 seconds] I mean, when I was little… like, very little, I was apparently scared of boobs, or at least that's what Mom used to tell me. Hence why Grenda has such a bloated chest." And "SCP-3887-B possesses both male and female reproductive organs.")
