SCP Foundation/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

** Also terrifying are the effing ''pictures'' on the thing's page. Especially the first one. It's like one of those "when you see it, you'll shit bricks" demotivators.

** And that's not all. If you try to upload the first image to a imagehoster (you know, to avoid hotlinking), the face in the uploaded picture is ''gone''.

* It's one thing to read about the Foundation personnel doing horrible, ruthless things to contain dangerous or even "potentially dangerous" SCPs. It's not even so bad to read about Foundation personnel doing cruel and messed-up things for kicks—after all, it must take a strange, not conventionally moral person to survive working there for very long, right? But then there's examples like SCP-042 and SCP-948, where there's a very strong implication that the Foundation is containing not merely harmless but good, benevolent, mystical creatures against their will, and ''possibly even endangering the world by doing so.'' [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-042 SCP-042] in particular seems to be written specifically to highlight the cruelty of the Foundation, {{spoiler|particularly since for SOME REASON they won't allow the poor thing to die.}}

** Knowing the Foundation, that "reason" can probably be summed up as [[For Science!]].

** What's even worse is how the Foundation takes advantage of its abilities. The victims are used as ''reusable organ donors''. Since anesthetic isn't an option thanks to the SCP's powers, the Foundation used to resort to decapitating the victim in order to temporarily incapacitate them during the harvesting. Now they just empty their skulls to keep them from screaming.

* Not as horrifying or deadly as the other SCPs, but [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-613 SCP-613] ability to make contaminated organisms lose all color and become black and white over the course of a few days and leaving the carriers unable to perceive or remember what colors are, brought shivers to me. Luckily any healed former carriers can develop immunities to the disease.

* [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-204 SCP-204.] 204 comes in two parts: 204-1 is a colony of nano-machines that follows around 204-2, protecting him/her from harm. 204-2 is a child aged from 4 to 14, with a history of being abused, who can control 204-1. When 204-2 turns fourteen, 204-1 finds a new child to protect, and, if the former 204-2 is mentally stable, the former 204-2 is given a Class-A amnesiac and put into a foster care program. That's not the [[Nightmare Fuel]]. The real NF comes from an addendum that explains that due to 204-1 freaking out if there isn't another suitable child to imprint on if needed, the Foundation have a group of suitable candidates. However, if they really need candidates quickly, they can enlist some more candidates who don't fit the protocol- i.e., they are of a suitable age (preferably under ten), but they don't have a history of abuse. The Foundation will then '''turn them over to 'caretakers' which will consist of D-class personnel convicted of violent crimes, child abuse, and pedophilia'''. It also says that the procedure for hiring the 'caretakers' is the same one for finding people to perform Procedure 110-Montauk on SCP-231. Jesus Christ.

** Oh, and as an aside? SCP-204 will psychically manipulate whatever it's guarding into taking dangerous actions so it is forced protect what it is guarding, and thus allowed to feed. The SCP literally forces the child into danger so it can feed.

{{spoiler|let us back in}} }}

* [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-517 SCP-517] I became paranoid after having seen one of the pictures move (having been a .gif), so I have a tendency to quickly copy and paste the link to a picture to check if it'll spaz out in any way. The picture with the glass is a .gif, so I didn't stick around long enough to see if it would move.

** Although that could become [[Nightmare Retardant]] when you remember that that was the premise of one of [[Calvin and Hobbes|Calvin's father's]] [[Little-Known Facts]].

* [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-993 SCP-993.] It's like [[Candle Cove]] as done by a [[Monster Clown]] - except Candle Cove didn't [[Brown Note|brainwash children]]. In one episode the clown just stares at you. [[Nothing Is Scarier|For the entire episode.]] What makes it worse is at in that next episode you can tell who he's really staring at: {{spoiler|''The SCP Foundation''. '''''[[It Can Think|It can think.]]''''' It is a sentient, evil ''television program'' and it knows who's watching. Even it's ''archived copies'' are aware. It knows the Foundation is blocking it's broadcasts and ''[[Villainous Breakdown|it's pissed]]''. It's copies are kept on the Foundation, so he could easily learn about a memetic hazard and ''get creative...''.}}
