Exploring the SCP Foundation: SCP-2744 - Tattletale

How is this SCP related to 4000? Its 2 series before it like 2012-2014 edition.

Wait a second, white burlap sack, zipper mouth? Are we talking about Candleja

Good story, good twist, even better twist at the last min

Hey can someone just make a compilation of the first five seconds of each video where he says the scp name? Thanks

Honestly as a site director i get really sick of the goc asking for aid. Last time the only reply I gave was "wtf why do you guys want aids, like I get why a heroin addict would relapse while knowing that it's nothing but trouble, but just you guys asking to be infected with aids makes me really uncomfortable....like it's really indicative of some sort of mental fugue state or some sort of delusion at least or maybe you guys have just simply been lied to. We have a lot of psychiatrists on our payroll and I'll just be a lot happier if you just had a few sessions with them first before I gave the green light on that one, I mean we don't even really have any non-anomalous AIDS we have some of that Moon aids that we got from space where all those dragons were having unprotected gay butt sex but like since the invention of dragon condoms that's really slowed down the spread of that so even that's kind of iffy. Give it some thought and respond , thx 🙏" they never replied cause they all got eaten by zombie furries.

Crazy that even though it's a simulation, the faeries are somehow still able to recognize that the world seems fake

Bless you bro for bringing us so many SCP's in story format, been a 2? Years weekly fan, you do your works and the stories justice n have the insights to bring em to live

Love this scp, it has unexpected elements for scp standards, and throwbacks to certain scps like SCP-096 - Shy Guy, SCP-2521 - ○○|○○○○○|○○|○, and the Fae Entities from SCP-4000, along with sci-fi tech reminiscent of Black Mirror series and that smoke and mirror theme, a bit like Murphy law scp, but different.

day 6 of asking for backrooms coverage

murphy law vs this guy

Brutally murdered person, my name jeff joke, oh btw half the team is dead

This reminds me of a similar scp where it written like a choose your story

TLDR: An Simulation that aims to create the PERFECT agent, and if you fail the simulation, you are just erased.

neural training software is kinda sus killing agents

fuck. not this shit again. when i was a kid my stepfather handed me an article - one that he would later tell me he clipped out of some porn magazine, of all things - about 'The Goodbye Man.' it haunted me for most of my childhood. it was vaguely related to Ouija boards, which is how it got its name. players who failed to say 'goodbye' would be visited by The Goodbye Man, with his hound made of tongues and eyeballs. the hound grows larger every time he visits someone. what haunted me, though, was that this was just how he got his name. thinking of him in any way may result in his visitation.

information hazard. i couldn't fucking stop thinking about it, because thinking about not thinking about The Goodbye Man is still thinking about The Goodbye Man. fucked me up for years.

he gon' get me now. he gon' get you too.

Fun fact: “rubedo” is the last step in creating a philosopher stone and means redness

Man.. I miss when SCP entrys were just "throw d class at it"

.

"and he heads into to the bathroom finding blood sprayed across the tiles on the walls with many of them having been shattered" Ah yes someone had Chipotle for dinner.

If you're like me, you just reloaded the page when the timer got too close to zero.

I don't think the nuralinks are malfunctioning, I think they kill the uninspired grown protoagents

I knew it!

So I thought.

I never knew the "Grown your own sea monkeys and keep them as pets" fad in the scp universe was "Grow your own Dr Miller and keep him as a pet"

I'm going to start sobbing you shoved me in the body of my father for this one 😭

Thank you for the great (as usual) content.
Have a nice day :)

More lame zoomer scps.. no suspense, no vibes, just expanded universe wank

Pretty cool I'd love to go through that simulation.

Comment for statistics

Honestly scps like this leave me paranoid.

maybe by making a fake scp, they made a real scp

haha i got your nose 🧌👹👹🧟‍♂️

That's not Lisa Wilbourn...

I would like to think that the failure scenario is like a joke bad ending you'd get in a video game, like "you failed the test so hard that the machine fried your brain." Its the narrative equivalent of the game over screen telling you to get good.

One weird thing that always intrigued me about this article. How’d the fairy they interviewed know about “how fake this all seems”? This Simulacrum tech has some sentience issues those techs gotta work out as well!
Or maybe fae magic extends further than we think.
Or maybe i’m reading too much into a small plot point at 5AM.
Still interesting.

Something smelled fishy when it was brought up the GOC knew about a location full of annomalies and hadn't tried to neutralize it. After all, this should be the same GOC that not only successfully once infiltrate the Wanderer's Library but also tried to burn it down (reason why the Serpent's Hand to call them 'Book Burners'). And when you add the fact this location if full of Fairies that can steal names and trade places with the person they stole the name from, that makes it more suspicious that the GOC hadn't done anything to neutralize it. Even if the fairies had lived in that town in peace before Tattletale showed up, GOC been known for destroying or trying to destroy peaceful SCPs either with powers or connections that they deem as a threat before (SCP-1522 and SCP-1609 for example).

I forget the exact rules on how fairies take your name, and what exactly you lose, when they do (other than your name, obviously), but, as a trans individual, I wonder if I'd be able to give them my deadname, thus forcing anyone who knew me when I had it to only know me by my new name 🤔
This one seems to barely have to do with fae, I just thought of it, because I feel like I'd feel inclined to give them a name, since they like them so much, and I have one I don't use anymore.

I know I'm late to the party here, but despite the obvious reference to growing human replacements, I'd like to mention that the CIA calls their training facility at Camp Peary "The Farm" Perhaps the two at the end are being facetious when they mention that their so called Farm is growing Millers replacements.

An interesting thing to note, which might just be my interpretation here, is that in the 'fail' state, the error report notes that not only wast the testing candidate is dead, that the 'threat entity' was no longer present within the simulation. If it isn't there... Where did it go*? Perhaps then, this is one of those situations where there *wasn't actually an SCP... Until the Foundation accidentally *made one*. Might just be my interpretation of the wording, but interesting food for thought.

no dindus, keep them out of your videos

It should be a bannable offense on the wiki for authors to write action scenes into their articles because they always suck. That warehouse/safehouse scene was absolutely terrible, and the cliches just made it so much worse.

Edit: This article LITERALLY didn’t even have an actual SCP. I’m all about storytelling in articles, but this one should have been a tale on principle. It also wasn’t even a good story so yeah, terrible article. TES did the best he could with what he had, though, so credit to him for that as always.

This one kind of makes me wonder if Tattletale is a case of the Foundation bootstrapping a real anomaly into existence. Like, the reason why the program keeps killing anyone who can't finish the sim in time or who doesn't show the needed curiosity is because they are, to a degree, someone who already doesn't have an identity. They're just a body that has been procured for training. It's not until they pass that they truly have an existence via the Foundation. So every victim is, like within the simulation, just an unidentifiable body.

That was a good one. Reminded me of The Twilight Zone

What about the possibility that the first recruit to be killed by the sim gave Tattletale the power needed to become more real, and, by meeting death at the entity’s hands in the simulation, they are killed by it in the real world? It’s a simulated fae, after all, and part of the whole “stealing names” game they play is the idea that perception is, for them, all of reality, so if recruits perceive it as real, even giving it a name to exist by, they may have brought into existence, even if that existence is limited to the simulation.

The sense i get from this is yes it is a training program, but also a containment program. The entity in the simulation is real and kills the agent if they fail to meet certain conditions, such as attempting to name the target or guts as to its nature.

Sounds a lot like Boone's psychologists mask in Nightbreed/Cabal by Clive Barker. Difference's being bandages instead of burlap and buttons for eyes.

Thevolgun gets the bad ending in the VR remake of jojo's bizarre adventure: golden wind for the ps2 and is electrocuted as punishment
