I think SCP is more of a diversity thing rather than straight creepypasta. And SCP isn't meant to be scary in the sense of say, like Aliens, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc. It's more to make you unsettled at how very little you know about them and when you think you've seen everything, you end up wrong and what it does unsettles you.I'm the same way about the SCP Foundation. I mean, I'm older, but I'm also insanely jumpy and cry at the drop of a hat.
SCP Foundation. . .isn't really scary. I mean, I like the sweet, innocent SCPs that they're deliberately trying to curb because SRS BSNS better [No Fun Allowed Sign goes here], but I mean. . .even the "scary" stuff isn't scary. It's just more fascinating than anything. I don't get what's so unsettling about it that people consider it horror. I mean OK there's world ending monstrosities here and text descriptions of viscera there and things that can kill you if you look at them wrong (or don't), but honestly? I've seen video game creepypasta about a freaking Godzilla game that made my skin crawl more.
SCP Foundation ain't creepy, it's SCIENCE!
Think back. I actually want to see if you can describe so I can identify it and possibly agree with your notion.I remember reading the TVTropes page on SCP, and read that it was all free to use except for one photo of one of the SCPs. Out of curiosity I clicked it.
I can't even describe what the photo even was, but something about it unsettled me enough to not delve further into it...
You heard him, ma'am.Excuse me!?
I know, but it is just....Well not you, I presume.
But other folks.
Red described it well. Pink, vaguely humanoid, draped against a wall.I think SCP is more of a diversity thing rather than straight creepypasta.

Like SCP-096. You're not supposed to creep out at simply the idea that seeing it's face will make it kill you and that it's capable of swimming to the bottom of the ocean and ripping through submarine walls just to kill one person who saw it's face. Rather, it's when you find out that all you need for it to even remotely hunt you down is to see "Four ******* Pixels" on a picture.
Seriously, doesn't the idea unsettle you that you could look at one of your old family backyard photos and you wouldn't even know that you just triggered a monstrosity and you need to ask yourself Why he was activated as he wasn't in the photo, but he actually was because his face was literally only Four Pixels on your photo? And that you not only just doomed yourself, but potentially everybody in your town and that even the soldiers would have to kill everybody to ensure that no one who has seen it's face is living?
That being said, I like to think of SCP as a mix between mystery and creepypasta. As some of the profiles show, not even the Foundation knows everything until they find out by accident, like what happened with SCPs like 093 or 1048. So you have a combination of both mystery and unsettling nature simply because you don't know everything about them and you don't know what they can do. And it's fascinating to learn about what they can do and what they show.
Than you have some that are really awe-inspiring, especially the worldly SCPs. I highly recommend 093, as that is an amazing combination of mystery, awe-inspiring, unsettling and adventure and it actually got my heart pumping.

The stories are in the "Tests".

I think I remember this from the time I watched Cr1tikal play it.Red described it well. Pink, vaguely humanoid, draped against a wall.
D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW look at youuuuuuuu~ such a KYOOT little bebehI have a question for all, what is the thing you hate being called?
For example, mine is cute.
When someone calls me cute, I give them a mad response of saying why I am not cute.
Do not even.D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW look at youuuuuuuu~ such a KYOOT little bebeh
*Pinches cheeks*
Yeah, but at least Shiny actually sticks with a Mafia game for more than a few hours without ragequitting.D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW look at youuuuuuuu~ such a KYOOT little bebeh

You just misgendered the self-proclaimed Trap King.You heard him, ma'am.
I said their voting base had left wing ideas, I said nothing about them being a communist party...What are you suggesting? The Republican party should return to a glorious Communist form?
You say that, but most of Karl Marx books were actually proper criticism of Captialism, its just some of his suggestion don't nessarily play out to well, cause humans are assholes.Look where Capitalism has got us.
You do remember Britain owned Canada, right? And not to mention we burned down your precious white house after you tried to invade Canada.Nay! We stay a democracy, that is usually how it is supposed to be? We warded off those darn Great Britians from owning the continent of North America. I heard Napoleon actually was a reason why America got a lot of territory, because he sold Louisiana to America.
So what is the Mafia game I keep hearing about?Yeah, but at least Shiny actually sticks with a Mafia game for more than a few hours without ragequitting.
I'm not so sure about that.You just misgendered the self-proclaimed Trap King.
I am not feeling unsettled of "I Feel Fantastic".I grew up being subjected to my older brothers and countless horror movies, there's not a lot that rattles me in the internet these days. I'm more or less numb now. And as is the circle of life, I in turn helped corrupt, or at least disturb, my good friends Holder of the Heel and Opossum .
There's some stuff out there that's made me feel sick to my stomach, mad, and uneasy, but scared? Not for a while. So if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
In that spirit, if anyone wants to feel super unsettled, go watch I Feel Fantastic. I'd say that's a step up from DHMIS.
I swear, half the site's fallen for the Trap King anymore.You just misgendered the self-proclaimed Trap King.
Basically most of the folks from the thread are playing a simplified Role-Playing-ish game.So what is the Mafia game I keep hearing about?
Hey cute stuff.Why would anyone hate being called cute? I'd die for someone who called me cute.
I should keep better track of custom titles next time.I'm not so sure about that.
Oh god I legitimately can't work up the nerve to watch I Feel Fantastic. It's one of those things that sounds so innocuous and insanely unsettling at the same time.I grew up being subjected to my older brothers and countless horror movies, there's not a lot that rattles me in the internet these days.

So we can't call you cute; how about kawaii?Dr. James Rustles Seriously, no calling me cute bud.
I am not tiny and cute. Enough said.So we can't call you cute; how about kawaii?
Sorry couldn't resist, the joke was there and I had to take it.
Being called cute is embarrassing for me, I do not know why. I would rather be called a cringey person that cute. I want to be called a genius, not cute. GOT THAT?Why would anyone hate being called cute? I'd die for someone who called me cute.
I watched it quite some times actually, and it is not unsettling at all. It is just a girl signing to me that changes her head once in a while. Man this thread is wimpy. I watched "I Feel Fantastic" a few minutes ago, and it is a dark night for me. Not even unsettling at all. Watch it Opo, I know you have the strength to.Oh god I legitimately can't work up the nerve to watch I Feel Fantastic. It's one of those things that sounds so innocuous and insanely unsettling at the same time.
Since you keep mentioning it, sounds an awful lot like you want to be called cute...I have a question for all, what is the thing you hate being called?
For example, mine is cute.
When someone calls me cute, I give them a mad response of saying why I am not cute.
I hate being called by my second name, since it is a Italian variation of a really common name used in Mexico, people always get it wrong, written or spoken.I have a question for all, what is the thing you hate being called?
So can you give an example of a normal game of this?I swear, half the site's fallen for the Trap King anymore.
Praline themselves don't actually care either way, but it's disorienting to watch on my end. Like I'm being gaslighted LOL
Basically most of the folks from the thread are playing a simplified Role-Playing-ish game.
A certain number of players (seems to be four so far on average) are selected to be mafiosos (or the equivalent in whatever setting has been currently chosen) and are attempting to kill non-mafioso players until there are more mafiosos than non-mafiosos. The non-mafiosos are called townies and are trying to kill all the mafiosos. Whichever group succeeds in the end wins. There's also other roles that can have win conditions outside of that.
I basically oopsed into helping utterly destroy the mafia the first time I played, LOL. Currently I'm starting my second.
I DO NOT WANT TO BE CALLED CUTE YOU HEAR ME? I AM ACTUALLY SERIOUS.Since you keep mentioning it, sounds an awful lot like you want to be called cute...
You better not.Which directly goes against the quality of cuteness! So congratulations, I won’t say it.
Why must you hurt me this way?He is pretty cute though, isn't he?
I ain't a-scared a-nuffin!!

Swamp, boobs aren't scary.I think the most disturbing SCP I've ever read involved ...
Mammary glands...
That's all I'm gonna say. It was chilling.
You are the cutest person in the entire world.Why would anyone hate being called cute? I'd die for someone who called me cute.
Cringey is not a compliment though why would anyone like being called thatBeing called cute is embarrassing for me, I do not know why. I would rather be called a cringey person that cute. I want to be called a genius, not cute. GOT THAT?
Hey cute stuff.

Sweet, now I have a bodyguard!
Huh, what?!I think the most disturbing SCP I've ever read involved ...
Mammary glands...
That's all I'm gonna say. It was chilling.
-Uses Command Seal-I cannot be loyal to two masters at once! What should I do!?
