I love how the Scarlet King worshippers are basically like “Welp, the world already ended, and the Children came and died, now what?” xD
Well now they start worshiping the Scarlet Emperor who will bathe the starways in the blood of the unworthy and then SCP001 retroactively becomes the Scarlet Emperor because it's one of those stupid memetic SCP's that is whatever you believe it is.
Ooh~ Likes are at 231! xD

SCP-4547 Special Containment Procedures: Don't go there Well I mean if it works, it works.
If it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid
*Reverse psychology would beg to differ.*
*Also, Streisand Effects.*
Simple, but effective
😂 sounds like someone and actually many are saying the same here. Besides, not all of us are from Gaia in this incarnation. Reverse phycological standards may apply here. Would be a more subtle way of putting it. 😆 Don't be so straight forward or you'll attract from whatever fear based message these are. But what do I know.....😁👌Love and light
It was actually pretty wholesome to see the Foundation checking up on the Taronyu when they could. Fellas, find yourselves homies like this.
Agreed, especially since this allowed them to save what’s left of the species, which allowed them to rebuild and expand on new homes in our solar system.
Make sure the bug aliens hadn't gotten to them yet...
Aww, how sweet, they actually rescued the remnants of the formerly doomed alternate world and made them live alongside them in their own universe... very wholesome, coming from this Foundation.
I guess it goes to show that The Foundation can show compassion and support to even other humanoid species.
The foundation don’t usually do evil for no reason. Generally, if they can do good they do. It’s just that usually they don’t have the chance to do good
@@emilybarclay8831 Sometimes the ends justifies the means.
@@AngelsCreed-jo5fp that’s pretty much their motto. Secure Contain Protect isn’t just their name it’s also their code of conduct, securing comes before containing and protecting, and containing comes before protecting
@@emilybarclay8831 I agree.
tes lists off all the issues with the planet "huh, sounds like scp earth" tes: "this planet is screwed" "oh."
That’s a good name I approve
Wow! A Foundation tale where they don't do the most evil things imaginable to a innocent group of people, instead the opposite of it! It was a really wholesome listen!
I much prefer cannons like this one, some of the grimdark ones start to stray into grimderp depending how hard the author pushes the "foundation is evil" trope.
“some of the canons” It’s okay, you can say “Site-17 Deepwell”, we understand.
@@electrotoxins Those are the universes where the Serpent's Hand are the good guys instead
@@christopherhale3140I HATE SITE-17 DIRECTOR THOMAS GRAHAM I HATE SITE-17 DIRECTOR THOMAS GRAHAM
Honestly considering how many parallels their society has with Earth's I'm confused that a search was not conducted to find a scp-2000 equivalent
Well considering all the stuff that’s now on the planet, it was probably too risky. Besides, if they did have their own 2000, it was most likely destroyed.
@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 I agree. After all, the AI in the bunker said that was the last bunker online.
This planet needs a god, or more likely several to fix it, not a cloning machine. O5: Can we fix it? SCP-2000: No.
I think that the bunker where they found the last survivors probably is their scp-2000 equivalent. Instead of cloning they put people in stasis, and instead of having just one site they had several (of which all except one got destroyed) but other than that it is pretty similar.
@@TheMegaOne1000 Never in my entire life did I think I'd see a person with a pfp from AWSW
"The AI explains that they aren't exactly zombies...... They open fire on the zombies." Love it. Screw that "achtually"ing AI.
“Don’t go there”, well at least it’s easy to understand.
I think this is actually a beautiful SCP. It serves as a warning to the Foundation about the consequences of failure but offers a moment of hope should something happen. As they say, what goes around will come back around. 10/10
It also shows that even when it seems like all hope is lost, there’s also a small chance of saving the remnants of a world and giving them a second chance.
I actually hate that saying, what goes around comes around because it's only ever applied towards other people that are doing bad things or ourselves when we're doing something good. But if you take the idea to its logical conclusion, when someone suffers a terrible fate like domestic violence or r*pe, this idea would have us blame the victim is it's just something bad they did coming back around. The much scarier ideas that good things happen to good people but also bad things happen to good people, it's all kind of random, and you can go ahead and do all the good you want but it won't necessarily come back to you. Personally I don't do good things cuz I think it's going to come back to me, I do them because humans are more likely to do good things when they see other humans doing good things, it's like a meme that I'm helping to propagate
@@cryptofacts4u “Memes! The DNA of the soul.” - Some Red Cyborg Ninja
I fucking love this one. It doesn't shy away from the horror aspect but it ultimately goes on to show a reminder. That for all the terrible things The Foundation does to preserve both normalcy and the human race, they have not surrendered all that it is to BE human.
Scp 5000 be like
Glad that at least in one cannon Foundation didn't close the doors on the hand of basically dying species in the vein attempt to keep "normalcy"
Well considering that “normalcy” is pretty much dead in this canon, it would be understandable that they would decide to help. However, there have been instances where The Foundation did help non-human sapient species while keeping them a secret from the rest of the world.
I'm more curious as to how the species would Breathe on our planet and the others... unless there're all given their original plants oxygen 🤔
Meanwhile, over in Star Trek - "SoRrY bUt PrImE dIrEkTiV mEaN wE hAf Ta LeT U dIe!!"
The 40k fan in me is disgusted by this heresy. The SCP fan in me is happy this turned out wholesome.
Bolters at the ready brothers! No mercy for you alien! FOR THE EMPEROR!
"We at the Ordo Xenos welcome you with open arms to set foot on Holy Terra! Now if you would step into this room we have a...routine medical exam to attend to, the arm and leg restraints are just a formality I assure you."
Don't worry, I'm assuming about 50% of Humanity's population is racist towards the aliens.
@@chucklytell tau ptsd from dark eldar "cultural exchange"
The title fits "Exterminans" Your brain expects for it to say "Exterminatus" but its cut off. Thats the doubt in you, the SCP fan.
Interesting to see how the Foundation takes to finding a world that's essentially a look into what would happen if the Foundation ultimately failed and anomalies had overrun the planet. And refreshing to see that this story has at least somewhat of a happy ending.
Say what you will of Multiverse Theory's b********s, at least it still gives of a lot of hope and longing for far better times.
I hope we get to see more of the Taronyu in future entries in the Ad Astra Per Aspera canon
@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 I would like to see more of them too. More so the further expansion of the ad astra per aspera lore!
This feels more like a story of its own rather than an actual SCP
That's pretty common with a lot of newer scps. I honestly think it's a bit of a shame
The planet is a SCP itself. At least this one didn't overstay its welcome, like some other entries -cough- SCP-6500.
Agreed. The more recent SCP entries have very much blended themselves with tales, which is a pretty big departure from the older SCPs. That's not to say that it's bad, though. While I do miss the more old style of "Thing that does a thing" SCP and having the horror (or otherwise) peak through the gaps in the official and dry writing, having a story in every article is still cool. The world of SCP is entirely controlled by the will of the fanbase and its writers. This is really just how something so spontaneous and decentralized like the wiki likely tends to occur.
That's probably just because of the way The Exploring Series writes his SCP videos. He summarizes & explains the articles to make it make more sense. If he has to do it in a story format to do that, he will.
This IS an SCP. It says so in the title. There's nothing wrong with wanting to tell a story through an SCP article.
Just after seeing Amphibia's final,I see another wholesome story about humanity saving aliens and I click it.
*squees* I'm not alone in all this!
It's good to know I am not the only person in this fandom coping with the end of that amazing show!
Yeah, true... but no rest for the wicked and the just yet, in case we're also The Owl House fans.
@@michaelandreipalon359 and Gravity Falls fans
That Fight is probably Finished... though some of us suspect *he* is still alive, statue or not. *checks calendar* And it looks like we're nearing May 19... does anyone remember what happened on that day three years ago?
If there's other extended lore of the scp foundation mythos to cover I recommend the Brothers Death. Also very interesting/good entry to cover.
I don't think there's enough content to dedicate a whole video to them
I think I can see that, in that case covering stories by thomas ligotti would be even better.
I have found the Ad Astra canon interesting and would love a more in depth exploration of it (which may require going over the ED-K storyline, but I don’t mind). Also, it has the Scarlet King in it, which is one of my favorite “groups”/topics.
I really love Ad Astra Aspera. Going full on hardcore sci-fi with the SCPverse is such an obvious banger.
Mom can we have the Seven Children of Scarlet King? Mom: No we have the Seven Children of Scarlet King at home Seven Children of the Scarlet King: *s e v e n s p a w n s o f t h e r e d r u l e r*
I read this as "exterminatus" and thought that the imperium finally found this lost colony
Yes. More hopeful SCP content please. The edgy grimdark stuff can be fun, but it gets super tiring when the world and the Foundation are depicted as cartoonishly evil and pessimistic all the time.
I want more fun SCP's like 999 :)
Grimdark stuff makes the Serpent's Hand look like the good guys
You should take a look at the Conspiracy Series featuring a Tim Harper as the protagonist
I remember reading through this and my sense of dread growing and growing only to get to the end, and...this is unironically one of the most uplifting and heartwarming articles on the wiki, I think.
*TES mentions the bunker is designed to hold survivors* The survivor count is gonna be zero. *TES mentions the thousands of occupied stasis pods* Oh crap, they're gonna be all infected with that zombie plague *TES mentions evac'ing to the Sol System* Something is going to go wrong! I ain't buying this species is surviving. *TES finishes reading* Erm, well, good!
Had to be him. Somebody else could have gotten it wrong.
One of my favorites!
Im still a big fan of the evil and irreverent renditions of the Foundation, but this is a nice change of pace.
I like it when the foundation is cold not cruel.
I like it when the foundation are the good guys
The fact that the Foundation here has the Ethics Committee probably on equal grounds with the O5 Council says a lot.
The virgin “this might cause bad things, let’s not risk it” Foundation versus the Chad “Let’s save this species from extinction and integrate them in our own society” Foundation.
Was listening to this on a cross 2 state drive, def helped pass the time, just didn't get to comment. I loved this story! The horror elements, the SCP's unchecked (that scarlet king spawn was down right scary), and the hopeful happy ending. Overall a great tale. I'd love to see this expanded, more tales that go into detail how it got to this point.
This one left such a good taste in my mouth, love wholesome foundation tales like this
My favorite SCP ever. I read this one about a year ago and love that you covered it! Thank you TSE :)
Best SCP channel hands down! Thank you for all the content, you do an excellent job on each video!
I'm a massive fan of your channel and have been following you for just over a year now. Your channel is one of the only ones where I watch every video and I always love your work man. Thank you for keeping us entertained and an extra thank you for diving into the ad astra canon, it's one of my favourites
Another absolutely beautiful article brought to us by such an amazing individual! Thank you so much for making every Monday morning worth waiting for ❤️
Thanks for all the great videos in the last few years! Love you buddy
Excellent SCP, fantastic presentation, and a breath of fresh air; all without sacrificing what makes the SCP universe so unique.
I specially love the spc stories where the foundations not a bunch of assholes but genuinely try to do good when given the oppertunity
Yeah it's more fun that way
The Shark Punching Center just wanna punch some sharks
@@arvinroidoatienza7082 no one can hate that goal :¬)
Much love from Alaska man, you help make the days go by at work.
SCP: “It Gets Better (in a completely different solar system)”
I chuckle every time I hear your sarcasm. Makes the story better. Much better.
I don’t know why but I love post apocalyptic foundation tales.
This has got to be one of the best SCPs I have ever seen and heard of, it reminds me a bit of warhammer 40k.
Was almost worried it wouldn’t come out :) thanks for the great work
Another banger. You choose great stories for this format
Awesome, more Multiverse Theory stuff. Just in time after finishing up on Amphibia, waiting for the Day of Unity, and simply eavesdropping on Multiverse of Madness audience talk.
This is some peak scp here. I'm not a huge fan of alternate canons, but this one utilizes it well without needing to know a ton about the canon
Incredible amount of creativity in this one. Impressive.
I like when the Foundation is wholesome and helpful. It's good to see. Nice.
My guy! Love these “short” ones I can listen to in a setting and not need an index. Thank you!
The name of the canon this article is in is "Per aspara ad astra" or "To the Stars Through Hardship". :) This actually seems to connect to the Taronyu and the escape from their dead planet, mirroring humanity's own dispersal.
Love all your videos hope you’re always well
I got some real Lamplight vibes especially from the end of the video. Always a great part of every Sunday night to listen to these
Never stop doing these 😃👍❤. Respect and keep up the epic work.
I love the whole hopeful part of this scp but the nuclear zombies lying in a pile bit has me in stitches
This was my lunch number in school not watching it rn but because of that I need to give it a listen love your content keep it up 👍
Ahh, classic Church of the Broken God, splitting off to create a whole new sect.
27:51 made me tear up, it would be really beautiful for humanity to be a part of that.
I'd really like to see more from this canon, this one was interesting
Ad astera per aspera - to the stars through difficulty. That’s the Kansas state motto. I love when there are Kansas references in things because my state is usually overlooked by everyone lol
It's more accurately translated as to the starts through hardship.
I can't say that I loved this SCiP. It's just, like, an alien civilization. It seems more plain sci-fi than the atmosphere that I've come to expect from the SCP universe.
Yeah this is definitely more of the foundation I like to envision when delving into this world
This was a really hopeful and pleasant story. This SCP sounds like it would make for an incredible mod for the game Stellaris. The idea of alien refugees terraforming a celestial body in our Solar system after the destruction of their homeworld sounds like it would make for some interesting gameplay. The only other example I can think of that has something like this happening is the movie District 9.
Haven't played that in awhile. I think there is a Mod that let you start off as a post apocalyptic race, though.
25:02 oh yeah, good idea not telling them about scp:1000 Imagine how pissed they’d be, knowing we let in complete aliens before our cousins lol
Props to the mbt captains quote, strangely motivational
Super wholesome that the taronyu named the first of the new generation after that task force member
I got a joke. What's the SCP universe's best running gag? The Ethics Committee!
Saved my night, ty
this article is really interesting because almost every anomaly on this planet has a similar equivalent on earth. the nanite virus is 008, the lizard the found is obviously a 682 equivalent, the 500 meter tall beings are 231, the intelligent plants can be seen as a 1000 equivalent, and the bunker with the members of the species is similar to scp 2000
One of the best entries in recent times!
I really liked this one, thanks!
4:30 In programming, demons are background tasks that are always running in the background.
Came to say this lol. Daemon processes are very decidedly normal and non-anomalous
4:40 as a Linux user I don't see anything out of ordinary with "SSD with daemon in it"
Yeah, all *Nix systems have d(a)emons. We demonize processes all the time.
I use arch BTW!
@@mihajlo_-fo7ud How's that neckbeard coming along?
How neat! I’m an hour late but I’m still hear to listen while I go to sleep
ExterminATUS GET EM EMPEROR
Holy shit this is the most hopeful story I've seen from the SCP universe, but then again after reading about any dragon SCPs this is a welcome change.
SCP-4547: What happens when the Foundation fails, and what good it can do when it succeeds.
Hype as fuck that I get the video less than a week after it releases lmao. Usually it takes a while for your videos to hit my feed, but NOT THIS TIME BAYYYBAYYYYY! WOOOOOOOOO!
I frickin love Sci fi and aliens. And scp, this is frickin awesome
Always just in time for me to sleep, amazing reading as usual!
I love the content of stories as always explorer. But before I finish listening to this one if there is other content you wish to cover or look for I recommend something from Thomas Ligotti.
What a wholesome ending to what I thought would be a bleak story. So glad that atleast one of these 'ruined alien planet' SCP articles actually have survivors and the Foundation does the right thing in resettling them.
“ Stop, stop! they’re already dead! “ Simpsons did it first. 😆 wow this is some overkill.
Obviously, just like the narration, I’m referring to how hopeless the start is compared to how hopeful the ending is.
I had no idea about this timeline, thanks.
Hey man, huge fan of your content. Been here since you covered Morgoth way back when. I love the SCP content too, what other things are thinking of covering. I think Fallout or Witcher could be interesting.
I thought you were going to cover the new ADMONITION article this week. But I do really like this one.
thanks
Awesome as always. Ty
This has probably been mentioned a lot, but daemon is an actual computer science term, and a lot of daemons run both linux and windows PCs by default.
am early love the channel and your narrations. thank you
What a surprisingly wholesome story. I’d love to Lear more about this point in time of this SCP universe. Especially about the Venusians. We can also be thankful that Russia doesn’t use demons in its Dead Hand launch system.
Awwww yea, one of my favorite Skips from the Aspera canon.
This is one of my favorites. Love your work! I always watch your videos on 1.75x speed and you have such clear diction that it’s perfectly understandable. Have you considered voice acting?
It’s really funny with what Taronyu’s Scarlet king cult is “We desire the end of the world and bringing of our cruel king... But the ship is already sailed and sank so we are really chill”
Awww, a happy ending!!! I love it!!
Im a sucker for these sort of SCPs with hopeful endings.
Thanks for this.
this is about as wholesome as SCP-6001, a glimpse on what the foundation could have been if they pulled all their resources to create coexistence with anomalies possible. only this time that the foundation pull all their resources to save a species from their total annihilation
So who’s the genius that put a demon in charge of all the nukes
It's less a Demon in the evil red devil archetype, and more like Maxwell's Demon, or Daemons. It's a spiritual entity that runs on contracts.
you need to make more videos on this canon, the mention of Martians and venusians has me curious
