TES: This is SCP-1762 Me: Dear god... TES: There's more. Me: _NO._
Best team fortress meme
Wtf it says this comment was posted two days ago but it says the video was posted today? Are you a time traveler?
@@SiIIster Patreon supporters get videos early. I mean...... magic.
It contains a bucket
Been on a TF2 meme binge and now YOU meme this. I applaud you good sir.
"Do you remember the story of paper dragons?" "...Yea, I do." "The story didn't end.'
It just got sadder.....
@@fuzzytransmissionman :(
yet
@Th3FatKat BC YES
Me: Literally cried my eyes out twice over To Slay A Dragon SCP Wiki: You want to hear more about what you've lost in the dead fantasy worlds? Me: Yes but please dear God no
I want to like this comment. I know what I have to do but I don't have the strength to do it
How much did it cost to have your eyes replaced with new ones, then? The advances in medical science must truly be staggering that they can do that now.
Goddammit it was at 69
The creatures on this planet is ffffffff while imagination world:DO U WISH FOR EVERTHING IN THIS WORLD.... MY THIRSTY MIND:CAN I HAVE A ELF WIFEY.......
OH FUCK NO
TES: SCP-1762? *_But wait, there's MORE!_* Me: _I can't. Not again. I'm not...strong enough._ * _hysterical wailing_ *
Remembered that one meme where its a with her wrist cut saying "you will never feel my pain" then that one dude who has like 100 swords, knifes, and blades n' stuff?
"...I am. It'll hurt, but I can handle the pain."
What if I Resurrect the dragons but as monster girls will you be strong enough then?
I just thought of something. What would happen if a whole bunch of people with proactive imagination were to touch 1762? Is it possible that 1762 could be revived? I liked playing with the origami dragons
We believe in dragons. We believe in Dragons. We Believe in Dragons.
We believe in Dragons. We believe in Dragons. We believe in Dragons.
Ziira'lasps: I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a Dragon. Dragon: What about side by side with a friend? Ziira'lasps: Aye, i could do that.
Agh! It hurts! My heart...
Yeah, I feel that too. "Dragons were here" is one of the best stories
@@Citizen_JQP yeah
Casual scp fans, and scp animations watchers would never know this kind of scp tales and other articles exist. Thanks for bringing it into the spotlight.
No need to gate-keep brother.
@@joeyjoseph6033 I think he’s saying that casual fans would never dig deep enough to find it, so he’s thank TES for bringing it to those casual fans
Why do they call it a foundation
@@TicklesTroutbecause it's a group of humans from all walks of life, races etc "foundation" It's not a business even though it makes money and does business moves, it's not a cult, it's not a church it's a group of people together doing things to quote unquote better society rather you think so or not and keep society as it is. Ie "foundation"
It breaks my heart at the idea that the survival of a realm and its majestic creatures hinges upon the belief that they exist. It would be nice that after they are created from imagination that they can live idependently without it
It's an exploration into an idea: can a shared imaginative idea exist when those who shared it no longer remember it? Do we die again when the last person thinks of us for the last time? I played a video game, asherons call, an MMORPG like world of warcraft, back in the 2000s. It doesn't exist anymore, but plenty of people played it and love it to this day. Does it still exist because we have fond memories, or is it gone because we all stopped believing enough to play it?
Welcome to the setting of Gensokyo of Touhou. Where the monsters and gods really did exist because of human faith/fear but as humans grew in knowledge, the magic of the setting slowly died out. So they had to create a hidden space where they could live.
does that mean there's a anime dimension tho, because as you said, imaginations helped them to exist.
Could the 0-5 console save them if they told the whole world about them and show them giving the billions om ear the imagination of all these creatures
@@brightplaysgames8760 Why do you think they released this video? I mean gotta get it out somehow.
Feel like this alone has enough material to make a rpg.
Agreed, very great video
I mean these are crazy monsters if it's like dnd there are easily DC 25 or 30 you'd need lvl 20 adventurers
It does
There totally is. I love this kind of alternate world biology.
A pretty nuts rpg lol
Dear God. There's something like this? Why didn't I ever hear of this?
The volgun did this on before but I’ve been waiting for this channel, it’s like a bedtime story. XD
You are actually a survivor from the Fantasy Lands though the Foundation n G.O.C. find you as anomalous defector Heavey aninestetics and 26 hour day 9 days a week and 742 days a year surveillance from the point the Card Board Box was found with the Book & Crystal held in your hands which many suggest that u are the Beast Watcher who documented the Book or at least it was giving to as a final escape from the Massive Calamity that Befell the Fantasy Land other say that by u waking up to this Fact would actually release a World Ending Catosphree n this current time line...
Titania SCP-6666: *laughters* Fantasy is dead so so long
Volgun also have a video on this but there’s also illustrations of the beasts, highly recommend
@@kaphasibad8369 | This... _this is an edited reply._
I'm just gonna pretend this is Lord Blackwood... Tales of the fantastic lands...
Yea, love the guy, and would love to hear more about him told by The Exploring Series
Totally could be
What's this... imagination... HERESY
To be honest Lord Blackwood isn't my cup of tea but he's a realy nice part of the scp multiverse
Lord Blackwood would shout "heresy!" And beat imagination back into our heads shoud he know what majestic lands we destroyed.
I can’t…. please, have mercy! *Sobs in the corner*
Fuck, I need an an artist representation of these creatures.
Check the volguns video
Charm changers more like chao from sonic lmao
Damn fam, just admitted youre part of why the dragons died :( no imagination
This is my new project
Pretty sure the thumbnail is from a magic card lol
I love having these to look forward to every weekend. Thank you for your work dude.
SAME!
I second this statement 😼
yooo my man watches these too
same
You should make an scp themed track somehow! That would be dope
I feel like this entry alone has the kindling to start blazing novels, movies, and graphic novels for years. I want to fall asleep to this. I want this in my dreams.
Same
I've fallen asleep to this for the last week, and return to this narration every couple of months to do the same. I want to give all of these creatures a home in my imagination, if I can.
Now with the 6000 contest over when can we expect a 6000 entry being covered here?
@Nobody who's 4812 again? I don't remember?
@@e.t.1947 4812 is the one with the 3 ancient creatures called "profanities" that destroyed the kingdom of old europe
Just want him to cover SCP- 6969 to see if he finally breaks character
@@carloslasso4370 the joke is sex is just too perfect man.
What’s scp 6000?
Show of hands. Who wants to hear this guy cover SCP-6666: The Demon Hector and the Dread Titania? ✋️
Sounds interesting
Please. I read it yesterday and now I can't wait for Demon Ogier and whatever djkaktus has in stock for us. And I would love is TES covered it.
@@riwankapakyntein8703 indeed, and to be honest since the ouroboros cycle I'm in for anything from djkaktus
I asked him on twitter if he’s gonna cover it and he said yes!!
@@selenesantaniello1526 *happy noises*
This guy should do a reading of All Tomorrow's, I feel like he would do the story justice!
Good idea
Shout-out to you putting the links to the SCP pages at the top of the description. It's a minor thing, but ya miss the convenience when you want to read-along or view the pictures. Thanks
Hope he also does this to his previous SCP vids.
Honestly man, listening to your videos while eating ramen at my favorite place in Japan has become a tradition of mine. I'm gonna be super depressed when I have to leave this place
I remember these creatures from a fever dream, but it’s just because I fell asleep during a volgun video
Good times
This is one of the best channels on KZhead, giving voice to the SCP universe.
I 100% agree with you
I agree too
This living mountain looks so gosh darn cool
Let's all imagine as vividly as we can, and just maybe, we can bring it back.
I do believe in fairies!
Yes! This is what we should do, after all, the “beasts of the old letters” is the key to fantasy.
n o . get destroyed by facts and logic and science and atheism
@@fuzzytransmissionman 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@droidicadd417 :(
"A new SCP dead fantasy world biology video is Out, it's still sad" Oh my God that's horrible! where?
Literally moments before I shut my phone to go to bed, I get a notification from Exploring Series. And it’s a 1 hour video. I’m so happy. I’m gonna sleep so fucking good to this you have no idea.
So nice. I love this channel.
I mean, you could have titled this "epic ideas for your next DnD game" and I still would have watched it.
Glad to have SCP this obscure being narrated by you. Hope you also cover other lesser known fantasy world like the stormlight archive.
Stormlight archive would be amazing from TES
Damn you Halo!
I feel like something from one of the biggest current fantasy authors is probably fairly well known. Would be neat, but I don't think novels, already neatly packaged into an easy to explore and read format, would lend themselves as well to TES's content style. Not as much to explore, not as much to gain by exploring them.
The imagination and creativity to come up with all these different creatures is astounding!
I was mad my neighbors kept me awake, now I see i was meant to be awake for this.
as epic as this is, the word 'Bumpkle' makes me giggle like a little girl
Being the first time I heard about this, I started listening with interest and losing myself in the great stories and creatures, but as time passed and the video got closer and closer to the end I started getting this heartach as I understood more and more that this world is no more... That it had already disappeared...
30 seconds in and I'm having a Pavlovian response of tears because a man said 4 numbers
I immediately knew what this was about from the Thumbnail alone, this SCP is what got me into SCPs
You guys forgetting, you need only to believe. The book itself is “the key to fantasy”. All we need to do is believe and the be back.
Lies their species will be back but they won't ! ಥ╭╮ಥ
Not here were dragons... HERE BE DRAGONS!!!
Most of the foundation believes. I wonder why it isn't enough.
@@madkirk7431 it’s because they actually don’t. They are “men of science”. That’s not to say that they actually don’t, more over, it’s they subconsciously don’t. There for, no matter if they say that they in fact do deep down they don’t because in order for men like them to believe something they require understanding. So in reality it’s more so that it requires faith that they exist for them to actually exist. And faith is something the members of the foundation utterly lack. It goes absolutely counter to everything the foundation is cause it quite literally IS the foundation (take that how you will). Tho this is something of a touchy topic…
@@Needs_Tzel are you on something? None of that is even English, you're just shoving words together hoping to make me look stupid, and I might be stupid, but you are making no sense at all.
If just 1 person believes in these creatures and this beautiful realm, will they still exist, or do millions need to believe in it?
Remember that scene from Peter Pan? I do believe in faeries.
This feels like someone's dnd setting doc. I love it
I’m not sure if everyone is aware, but they also upload most of these as a podcast! I love listening to them when I’m out walking. 💙
Beast of the Old Letters? Sounds menacing. I'll have to see what they are.
L E T T E R S
Sounds menacing, but in the end its depressing.
Dead. They're dead.
@@fuzzytransmissionman unless someone like you believes a whole awful lot, things won't get better, it will not.
@@matthewk2780 "One last time....."
I liked the Trimble Weiss because they could be a really cool Pokemon.
Dude, this is an hour and 16 minutes, I'm so excited!
What if almost every other SCP really came from Fantasy somehow?
Many scps come from similar things actually. The scarlet king is a good example of this. He came from our beliefs
Some are aliens tho.
1762 is my favorite scp, so the fact youre covering this tale makes me happy
*fuck, it's 1am and this video is 1 hour long* *I have to choose between 8 hours of sleep or a good TES video*
I love Beastdiaries! They are always so fascinating.
It's gonna be a long one, but since it's something from 1762, I'm ready to be all down, on the floor, weeping and crying.
This is by one of the most intricate and imaginative SCP entries I have heard of. The detail and creativity clearly has the makings of a potential D&D campaign or a fantasy book.
Dont have many scp readers anymore that actually hold up the atmosphere of horror. So dissapointed at what you get when you do a search on youtube, most of the first ones are bunch of jokers and kiddy animations. You sir are doing a splendid job!
Been waiting for this since the Vulgan did his.
Loving the somber delivery on this piece.
One of the best SCPs, finally
genuinely one of the most beautiful things I have ever read from the foundation
Top tier content my dude. Thank you for always finding the best SCP content!
You're literally my personal hero. Keep up the amazing work
Just like dark souls on how nothing last forever.
Things do not truely end either. Darkness sets in for now, but in a distant time the flames will flicker once again.
@@zaifir8119 in terms of who links it or does not link it. The lands, the only land to survive is catarina because of their joyness and merriment.
@@zaifir8119 And will dance across the darkness....
I absolutely mean this as a compliment but dude has helped me fall asleep nights than I can count! The most soothing voice on KZhead hands down
Every time an scp video drops, so does whatever I'm doing at the time. Please keep up the good work
Ahh yes. Over an hour from my favorite series ever.
54:30 so thats where the peripheral jumpers are from
Just got up to a huge wasp in my room and nearly got stung about 8 times trying to get it out. This video could not have come at a better time
do In Memoria, Adytum
"...began to leak poison into the streets" You guys have streets?
Man, I’ve watched every single one of your videos and it's always nice to see you show strange and not very covered scps and tales rather than just containment breach scps over and over again.
So one of the best things about these is that they come out right when I take my break on my Thursday. I've come to look forward to them. The WORM gave me nightmares that were better than the normal ones I have. The Ouroboros cycle is one of my favorite stories, and the in depth looks at the stories make my nights so much more fun. Thanks man.
nothin better than doin my overnight job and seeing a nice long exploring series upload
I like to imagine this is where Garfunkel is from.
Thank you so much for making these videos. Really, you don't know how much I appreciate and look forward to every one of them. They have and continue to help me get through life especially in hard times whether emotional or physical. Both therapeutic and entertaining when and how it need be with regard to how I feel or what I need at any given time. Thank you bruh, please don't stop what you are doing.
AN HOUR VIDEO?! YES! Must be some kind of special occasion. I love it.
That has to be one of my favorite story’s great job on who ever created it really good
Just made my morning. Hour +, With the day off. Great start to July 5
I can imagine a game based off all of these.. it would be amazing
Hearing both this and SCP-1762 just makes me feel more sad about how a fantastical world with such fascinating creatures were gone. 😢😭
Oh man, clicked on this just so it's in my history for the evening, and to leave a like. 76 minutes of quality SCP content needs my undivided attention, can't waste such a blessing at work.
Welcome to the OTHER continent of the Dreamlands . . . .
Yeah, reminds me of the dreamlands and the silver key too.
@@whitemagus2000 HA HA! Those are actually my FAVORITE Lovecraft stories! U R A Man of Culture . . . .
puff the magic dragon seems to be a very appropriate song for this scp not only is it about a dragon dying but also about lost innocents and growing up and losing the beliefs in dragon and magic
So many SCP Channels but This One Is Different... The way He Describes Everything and Has the Perfect Voice for Narration ❤️💯📚🖋️🕒
One of my favorites, I was hoping you would complete this one!
These are the absolute highlight of my life. I am so thankful for what you do and I can’t wait for the next ones!
YES BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TOO DO THIS ONE THANK YOU!!
Thank you for making every weekend even better.
I’m on acid rn and I can’t sleep thank you I listen to you every night -this girls boyfriend Acid man
Good on ya
Acid man what a chad
thank you for another long one. i listen to these ritually.
Thank god, I just finished the previous 160 or so in the series, and your Cthulhu and 40K series. These are a godsend for giving me something to distract me while i try to fall asleep. I always pause it before I do so I don't miss any.
When the gods bless us. An hour long video...
Literally just what I was looking for at the perfect time
Thank you for these, I absolutely love this channel, where I can stay for hours listening to great stories with your great voice and way of presenting information, thank for this!
The best way to end the weekend! Love your work in bringing SCP to life!
never ceases to amaze the imagination, such an inspiration!
This could defo be a dnd campaign trying to save the world from dieing out
I think that basically the plot of The Neverending Story. Or H.P. Lovecraft's Silver Key
Genuinely one of the main things I look forward to each week, thanks
I cried with the first video about the dragons. I feel like this is going to destroy me
Yeeeeeah boy, can't wait to listen to this when I wake up later
We are once again asking for gamers against weed
I love this universe in particular out of all the SCP
Huge nostalgia for me when i saw the thumbnail, this used to be my wallpaper on my old pc about 8 years ago. Time sure flies
Somebody please just tell me the dragon is okay.
The dragons will be ok if people continue to believe that they are ok, i think
@@lawindacera7219 Yes, that is supposed to be how it works.
@@unoriginalegg9899 then dragons are pretty much safe because of the furry and scalie communities
Hell yeah an hour long video!!!
Seriously one of my favorite you tubers! Thank you for putting in the hard work and effort for us all!!
Bro, your videos are always a homerun man. I remember listening to you when you covered Celtic mythology and I knew I was hooked from then on.
You really do upload at 3:00 AM exact, huh.
He uploads a couple of days before, it's just set to be public at this hour as his Patreons have early access.
