Wanna know what I find fascinating about SCPs?
It tells me the zeitgeist of post 2000 CE horror storytelling in the west. A sort of extension on the X-Files formula, really.
Despite all the supernatural and the paranormal, it’s all wrapped up in the narrative of SCIENCE. In all of the despair, impending doom or cosmic horror that comes with SCPs, it reminds us that science above all else, above morality or human rights, is what keeps us from them, is what comes between the semblance of normalcy and reality-bending powers.
Sometimes I see it as a “Man vs gods” narrative. A mankind-first fable.

That looks so cute.

100 bux if someone was to make Beauty and the Beast islamic version and Belle is a hijabi, the narrative would be that she really has stockholm syndrome and doesn’t have any agency and is actually needs to be rescued preferably by a strong-minded enlightened man. The man being white is optional. Also Beast is probably her actual muslim-looking (by that I mean bearded) husband whom she was married to, through an arranged marriage.
