    I still have the vague expectation from years ago that SCPs should be scary, or at the very least, vague and unsettling.

      It started off that way but for years and years it’s been an openly queer-inclusive Tales of the Weird community. Many, if not most, are still horror, but there’s also space for things like Site-333, Site-43, and Sloth’s Pit, all revolving around the people that have to interact with this world. There’s also the Antimemetics Department and End of Death as canons focused on the horror that emerges from the anomalous, and Deepwell Catalogue and ADMONITION which invoke the horror of the Foundation as a clandestine secret society with unlimited resources, reach, power, and arrogance.

      im pretty sure humor scps have been around for ages. either way i like them. scary stuff existing alongside weird and funny stuff makes it feel more real and less like a contrived horror setting
