You just wait till I get my grubby mitts on some ink buster 😂
While I'm an average 40k enjoyer, I confess that SCPs generally bang and slap on a much grander scale.
This is one of the benefits of the there is no Canon aspect of the universe. So many different authors on so many different scales. From creepy happenings in an old house in a small town to the conceptual destruction of physics throughout the universe.
@Grandman122 yes, and some wannabe 05 Council can't break it cuz monies.
Heresy detected.
Totally not into the 40k stuff. But we've been exploring the scp foundation for quite a bit.

Sarkisism and these anthology based stories in the scp universe is why I still love it as an adult
Who wouldn't love extreme flesh sculpting lol . 😂
@@mattparker1078 yeah lol, but at least it has creativity and good writing. Unlike when the popularity of the scp wiki peaked
I am also a fan of Sarkisism. As well as Daevites, and the Wandering Library.
@@Peter_Muskrats_void yeah maybe . But as a whole ...the whole draw of scp is just the most random semi edgy goofy crap lol
@@mattparker1078 yep, like 99% of creepypastas in the 2010s
Thank you for covering my entry to the 8000 contest. This article is easily the best SCP I’ve made, I think Was a constant struggle to come up with a narrative that was both entertaining and embodied the insane tragedy of the loss i experienced (for those interested, the author post in the discussion of the article goes into detail) The way this article was written was meant to evoke the blind panic and dreamlike existence when you’ve lost someone in a traumatic way. Interesting fact, all three perspectives (Lindqvist, the Daevites, and the SCP-1000 entities) are all coming to the events with the same mentality: denial of the trauma/loss, and refusing to accept things, raging against the futility of trying to change something terrible that’s happened to them.
Thank you for your service, my friend. I greatly appreciate this story. I personally may have never suffered that way, but I can understand through sympathy and empathy. I'm also a fan of Daevite culture, so your story tickled all the right spots for me.
@@magnolia1253 glad you liked it, I’ve actually got a whole series on the Daeva and also I wrote the hub, which has a lot of lore that I created… (to be clear I was not the original author who wrote the first Daeva)
@@grigorikarpin did you write the one where it turned out that the Daeva weren't real, and SCP-140 was just bad fan fiction about the history of Daevastan?
@@magnolia1253 no I didn’t, that was two other authors but I do love that article
really crafted in a genuinely good story from your own experiences. excellent work!
We've gotten lore on the Fae, the Mechanites, the Children of the Night, the Sky Kings, and the Daevites. We NEED Sarkite lore!
You should check out the in memoria aditum cannon
Don’t we have like...12 videos about them by now?
Depending on your canon, the Sarkites and Daevites come from the same civilization. The Sarkites led a slave revolt against the Daevite empire and then founded adytum. Rounderhouse's Jade Proposal focuses on the Mekhanites, Daevites, and Sarkites, and the final video of that should be coming out on this channel at some point soon since the article was posted recently. You can also check out Project Paragon from the Kaktusverse (my favorite scp canon). If you want videos just focused on Sarkites, tes has 2 compilation videos dedicated to just them, as well as other full stories like Orok's Fall and the classic The Flesh That Hates.
I was definitely waiting for there to be a "turns out, those Daevic sigils _were_ a version of 2140, and now Lindqvist is a more-subtly-converted Daevite agent who's gonna be using retrocausal mojo to mess with things"
How'd that go?
@@michaelandreipalon359 Well, nothing that directly contradicts the idea, but it wasn't confirmed either, right?
This was my favorite entry for 8kCon, not just for the story but because it was written from such a deeply personal place that I relate to so much. I won't give specific details out of respect for Grigori (but he tells about it in the discussion forum for the article) but he lost someone he deeply loved a decade ago, and this article was a way to convey that trauma of struggling to accept such an immense loss. I lost my father almost a decade ago as well, when I was just a teenager. It took me years to try and come to terms with it and find a way to move on. When I first read this story, it drove me to tears as I was reminded of the pain I suffered during that time. But it was good to feel that, because it allowed me to look back on all the things I loved about him and the part of him I still carry with me. You can't change the past, no matter how much you want to. But the pain of it doesn't have to last.
I can agree with you on this. This is also one of my favorite 8K entries, as SCP-1000, one of my all time favorite concepts on the wiki is involved. But I also agree with you on the feels it can make you feel. I too lost my father more than a decade ago, and I too had trouble moving on from his death. But while I still miss him, I was able to move on and ensure I could go through life in a way that would’ve made him proud.
Thank you, I’m glad that part of the story came through (as it was murder trying to get it out)
@@grigorikarpinThank you.
@@grigorikarpinI see what you did there. But seriously. I'm there with you. Sometimes we feel regret and guilt for just for having been as we were.
@@1LLog1K thank you, but just to clarify my feeling behind the writing of this article had more to do with having trouble accepting a traumatic loss and getting over the PTSD it caused Mostly my regrets are irrational, because nothing I could’ve done would have changed anything, but the brain plays tricks
As an aside, I love the feeling of hearing you read the character’s vague description of entities, and suddenly a lightbulb goes on and “WAIT THAT’S CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT” 😆
Lol, maybe it was a little more obvious to me. I don't usually get lightbulbs. I get rising moons.
@@magnolia1253 but what color are those moons? and, follow up question, do they howl?
@@elizathegamer413Murphy, is that you?
@@ashleg8350 hahaha
@@elizathegamer413 it's classified
My god, everything related to Daevites is so interesting, it's incredible. If you take these comments into consideration, please consider covering more of these!
Having a narrative of "It wasn't actually some weird anomaly influencing Children of the Night history, we were just wrong in our assumptions" take place around Göbekli Tepe is nicely symbolic.
I thought I knew what the twist would be, but I was double twisted!
What did you think the twist was gonna be?
@@grigorikarpinThat he would suceed in changing history
@@EspeonMistress00 well, that was definitely intentional misdirection :)
*OH BOY! IT’S 3AM!!*
😃 It sure is!
3AM is a good burial time
Nah it's 1 am
Welcome people of taste.😎 -☕️
Comes through at midnight for me. This time of year at least.
While my favorite story about the Daevites is the one where the book catches up to modern day they turn into just a normal country, this is now a close second.
Same!
Even without 140 the Deava are the least “normal” society in the SCP universe.
SCP-Foundation: Let's rewrite history Time: How many times do we have to teach you this old man?!
They turned @burialgoods into an SCP, as if he wasn't already.
My thought too.
Fr
I saw the notification for this video and had to double take as I was watching a Burial Goods video xD
fr that what i thought
bruh thats the first thing I thought
a thought: What if the Child of the Night that was advocating for them to go to war with the daeva wasn't being entirely honest? What if they also knew of the Daevite propensity for meddling with time, and hoped to undo humanity's victory over the CotN? It would make for a nice bit of symmetry with the modern-day narrative.
It'd be hard to see how he _could_ know about that, given CoN isolation. And I wouldn't understand him not telling that truth, since undoing their species' dominance shift scenario would probably appeal to many there.
So, the Child of the Night isn’t aware of the Daevites’ time shenanigans because this is sorta before all that (something the foundation knows only in hindsight) BUT the children of the night are intended to evoke a similar emotional state of mind as the researcher: desperation and denial of trauma. The Daevites, The SCP-1000 and the researcher are all meant to mirror each other in their futile desperation to change what happened
@@grigorikarpin Ah, so the part where the researcher says they'd never before seen sections of 140 relating to this battle indicates they just didn't do a good enough job copying information down? Not that these objects had impacted reality in the re-living of the memories?
@@abydosianchulac2 that’s left intentionally vague as no one really knows how SCP-140 works - does it act on its own? Or does the person expanding it provide some direction? All they know is that these artifacts weren’t there before, and 140 has been expanded, but they don’t know how (important to note that the Foundation does not have every copy of 140)
I thought I was getting a collaboration with BurialGoods the KZheadr!
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING, he'd have such a great entry reading voice
Broooo but that would be sick
9th series already? I remember when everyone was excited we'd reached 1000 😅
An ancient one is among us respect the elders
What is your wisdom, esteemed eldest among Explorers?
So this is like Artifact VR. I'm down with it👍
I am so happy you did a Grigori Karpin article, hoping you do more!!
so stoked this is my new bed time
Listen for the smile in his voice as he reads the last dozen words of the story.
The Deva and the Children of the Night? Yes please.
I freaking LOVE Daevic skips!! Thanks for keeping the awesome content flowing, love ya Mang!
lindqvist 🤝 deering messing with time to save a sibling (or at least attempting to)
The last time I was this early, there was an anti-memetics division. (Check out the short film series)
HAHAHA why did i get it
The exploring series coming in hot with another 2 am banger.
Was finna sleep now i can
Daevites are my all time favorite subject in all of SCP verse Literally endless storytelling potential
I love the scp readings, thank you for making them!
I love when KZhead doesn't notify me when my favorite creators upload.
The 1am post I needed
This might just be the first time I hear the phrase "arboreal entity" I love this channel
Just wanna drop a thank you for all your work with the scp stuff. I really enjoy it and think you do an awesome job.
I love using your SCP videos as a sleep aid, it help me eventually fall asleep and dream nightmares.....
Your channel is amazing and I really love the way you tell stories c: keep it up my friend
A truly awesome scp and excellent reading I always appreciate the wrap up.
Ooh, I was hoping you'd do this one! Thank you!
WOOHOO, thank you for adding to my sleepytime playlist for bedtime listening.
Sheyiit, just what i needed to fall asleep. Nice!
Keep up the great work! You're the reason I sleep well at night xD Been using these vids as my lullaby for the past 5 years and they work everytime. Bless
Exploring is basically my safe space. No exaggerating I had a bad shroom trip couple months back, got into bed put the Playlist on, and all became well with time.
I do think at the end the Foundation did him a bit of mercy tho. Since they couldn't amnestisize the memories from the anomalies, they couldn't kick him out the Foundation and report his sister's death as a normal work related accident. This was the only way to keep him stabe with how this anomaly worked.
Thank you!!!!!! I literally live for your voice and the adventure it promises.
These sorts of comments may have lost some of their impact on you as you receive so many of them, but I still just wanted to let you know that I like your scp content more than anyone else doing similar stuff on the platform. Not only that but you have been my number one go to channel for bedtime stories for at least three years now, possibly longer. And by a long way too. I must have listen to your scp series through about five times, more times than that for certain articles. I really appreciate what you do, mate. Am yet to find anyone else who scratches that particular itch. You have my gratitude, sir. ❤
I can only imagine how brutal that battle was between SCP 1000 and the Daevites. Imagine brutal strength and guerilla warfare of the Children of the night vs the magic and blood sorcery of the Daevites That would have been such a spectacular battle
I get so happy whenever I see an upload >. 20 minutes.
You are the only SCP content narrator I listen to over the years. A lot of people simply read out what's written in the articles as it is, but you really put in the hard work and introduce these stories in a way that's very comfortable to listen to and immerse. I will always adore these series because they bring back memories of listening to horror stories when I was a kid, it's another world, a magical feeling.... thank you!
I enjoy Exploring, but Eastside Steve's the one who got me hooked on SCP.
What a great and tragic tale. Thank you for covering it 😁
New exploring series SCP video: another reason to live
An interesting exception to the history by the victors thing is that most direct footage of the nazi army we have is from a film deliberately made to make their army seem more fit that it was, camera tricks to make it seem like there were more tanks than actually existed and such. Still widely used to this day I’m afraid.
Your videos help me sleep in the nicest way possible
It’s interesting that the Daevites had the magic to rewrite history but where nearly wiped out completely. If it wasn’t for their artifacts retaining their memories and abilities, they would have been left to the forgotten past. I am a solid believer in the idea that one should never try and change the past as the result is often worse off then before. I think this was what the ritual here was trying to prevent. In their increasingly dangerous attempt to preserve themselves they nearly wiped out their own existence. I think the researcher should have seen this, but of course was effectively blinded by the potential of what he discovered
Good stuff. Many thanks.
To call perspective a contaminant is to reject that we are human. Rather, it is a gem keeping the wisdom and silloette of a person, a time, and a culture alive and communing with those who come after who draw from the well of those who came before them. Not all of Truth and not all truth worth knowing, is scientific truth.
Foundation has big "Do as I say not as I do" vibes lol
Caught the vid 15 secs after posting :D never been this early lol
5pm in Australia 🎉
Love me some fresh SCP, thanks m8
“Giant Humaniods covered in fur” OH BOY More scp Bigfoot lore! “Children of the Night” OH NO More scp Bigfoot lore!
memories are as much a part of your personal reality as your current perception. without them, there is no past, and the present can become anything someone else wants it to be. one of the most terrifying and insidious forms of control imaginable. is it better to know you are being controlled but have no way to stop it, or to be controlled because you have no idea that its even happening?
Plot twist, they find his sister alive in the facility, she really was transferred retrocausually by the amnestics and the anomaly.
IT'S TIIIIIIIME! 🎉 TY TES!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
oh boy! 45 minutes of goodies?
History is SOMETIMES written by the victors, but more frequently it's written by people 50-200 years after any given conflict, who are either trying to legitimise themselves and their actions by tagging them on to some perceived golden age of the past, or delegitimising their enemies by tagging them to some terrible dark age.
A 45 MINUTE VIDEO LETS GOOO!!!
this may have actually got me interested in the daevites! i never found them very intriguing before, but this scp story was too good.
Oh nice! I love hearing that, I wrote this and I also wrote the Daevite Hub, which further explores their culture
@@grigorikarpin wtf, that's so cool! i'll definitely check that out !!
these are my fav kinda scp's
This SCP kind of reminds me of The Next Generation episode "The Inner Light," even in the way Picard is kind of confused and doesn't understand what's happening when he's pulled out of his hallucination in which he lived the entire adult lifetime of a member of a species whose planet was rendered unliveable by the sun turning into a red giant like, 1,000 years prior to the episode.
So epic theas vids get posted at 2 am
There's a yt channel called burial goods which is pretty cool
LETSGOOO NEW SCP VID
Babe wake up, exploring series posted.
sooo not related to this video in essence but still does i guess. erhm do you know how much one enjoy just listening to your vids. the stills add to it as one listen but also just listening when doing other things taking it passivly (my prefered way to take things in so they stick.) started with spc uroburos cycle wich was for me the first one of yours i found but ive done my best to work my way through the uploads since i found it. (as a fin living in sweden with a nack for mythology the norse mythology series is very nice to re-listen to. a solid "simplified" version of the lore and mythology that has evolved and split innumeral times as first 800-500 years of it was by mouth alone and never written down. (i say simplified as its a run down without having all the conflicting and variations included. a telling of the mostly known and verified mythology as we know it :) )
this is latest vid hence i commented here as to just say thank you :)
Great thing to listen to at 2:58
Ive been listening to this every night for the past week and i have yet to finish it. My record is about 15 minutes.
Thats.... An unsatisfying end to a great article. But hey, Ive never had an article approved, so.
all my homies hate Daevites
The researcher not writing more about the various scenes of violence is a coward. I want to read more about bigfoot vs magic women.
I love this channel
Damn I know I’ve stayed up too late if I’m this quick to one of these videos
Greatest narator ever😮.
Gonna have to disagree with the "it's probably a good thing he didn't find a way to rewrite history" bit. I know stuff like that tends to have unpredictable effects in this universe but that doesn't mean a guy can't hope.
Thanks
I needed this this morning.......having it rough and its nice to turn off the real life scps i can listen to some fictional ones
"zis is a flammenwerfer, it werfs flammens"
He is I and I am him. Slim with a tiled brim, what's my motherfucking name?
Danke!
THX
This 1 was good 🎉
Me half way thru listening: . . . Uh oh! He’s Anakin-ing!
splendid
Another great video, thank you for continuing to do SCP stories. Also, there's a new live action SCP series I've been watching, it's called "There Is No Antimemetics Division". I'm sure anyone who enjoys these vids will love that series
He could've just filled out a standard I-7301N form for amnestics
My body is ready
Could've sworn the title was Burial Gods
Gonna sleep good at 2 am here
Charl.... I MEAN, the font provides
I love this newer genre of SCP storytelling. I think it shows growth in a really promising direction. It's a shame more folks aren't seeing these great videos of yours.
