- There's no canon in SCP, my au is quite different to normal canon as it goes into themes reminiscent of gothic literature and delves into theories of mine own that when I develop them on this blog I'll link below the blinkies!

So one of my special interests is art history and I really wanted to apply this to my canon, Operation Theatre, and I was wondering how until I came to the idea; "What if all of the Lords of Alagadda were based off eras of painting?"
Black Lord ( 035 ) ~ Neoclassicism era
Yellow Lord ( Citrinitas) ~ Baroque era
White Lord ( Albedo ) ~ Renaissance era
Red Lord ( Rubedo ) ~ Romantic era
Below is some info, ideas and paintings examples I've done through research of my own!
First I will discuss the Black Lord ; I believe that they are based off of the era of 'Neoclassicism' (1760 - 1850).
The idea of Neoclassicism often challenged order, restraint and reason for everything that could be thought of while also remaining patriotic to a degree or some sort of alignment to a side during times of war, famine and disease etc. It really came after the Age of Enlightenment hence why ideas sparked off old ones and the world was in a time of huge change, especially post renaissance. It's why this era challenged the new world, but this era came after the Renaissance, as mentioned, and hence why there was even further development of these reimagined ancient classics. I believe these characteristics as a whole ties into how the Black Lord stands out from the rest of the Lords, due to them being banished for challenging the "natural order" of Alagadda as a whole due to wanting to rule it for themselves and how black stands out so drastically on a colour and tone scale compared to red, yellow and white.
It also brings me to my next point, as previously mentioned, of the central theme of the returning ideas of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, especially post renaissance. In my canon works, Operation Theatre, 035 is infact Ancient Greek and was created there yet came to Alagadda many many centuries later and rose up the ranks due to the Feudal system at the time: from Peasant to Jester to Lord to then being Banished. It would make sense therefore how Neo-Classicism applies, due to them still having the language and mask style of the Ancient Greeks compared to Renaissance styled masks the other Lords adorn, and how they wear wear and speak the language of Alagadda but still have their own spin on it due to being a foreigner.
Below are some paintings which are examples of Neo-Classicism;
~ The Death of Marat by Jacques-Louis David
~ Portrait of Juliette Récamier by François Gérard

Secondly is the Yellow Lord ; I believe that they are based off of the era of 'Baroque' (1600 – 1750).
The yellow lord themselves is the wearer of the Odius mask, with Odius in the dictionary meaning: "extremely unpleasant, repulsive, or deserving of intense hatred". To me this immedietely stands out as Baroque. The idea, and basic foundation, of Baroque art is to evoke intense emotion by captivating your gaze with bright colours and tones but then uses harsh and sharp contrast to disguise brutal and bloody displays in the same painting. I believe this fits Citrinitas within my canon as the yellow lord's royal duties are to perform the royal orchestra, be a leading musician to the court, tutor other musicians as well as command the ballet. Yet, atop of that they also run the guards of the palace in Alagadda. They distract you with this awe inspiring display yet behind the curtain are commiting brutality and are a lot harsher than the awe-inspiring humanities they display, which I believe is the exact goal of Baroque.
Baroque also features a lot of twisting poses and anatomy, often in negative emotions a lot like their face and disgust they display outwardly. I fear they also have a twisted personality of disgust and negativity. The human body can be beautiful yet disgusting, which Baroque sometimes portrays. It is consistent in sharp angular and diagonal lines, relating to the idea of one always being on edge around this lord due to their unpleasant attitude or demeanor and playing into the very theatrical nature of Baroque overall. Baroque often imitates theological scenes, especially those of dramatic nature, which I feel is indicative with how a lot of the scenes it portrays in the works are religious, like below the scene of Mary Magdelene, in the painting 'Madonna di Loreto', from Christian Theology with the infant, similar to how Alagadda has a lot of Christian imagery such as the Hanged King rising after 3 days in the tale 'And so the Crows laughed' like Jesus did from the tomb post crucifiction.
Below are some paintings which are examples of Baroque;
~ 'Judith with Her Maidservant' by Artemisia Gentileschi
~ 'Madonna di Loreto' by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio

Furthermore is the White Lord ; I believe that they are based off of the idea of 'The Renaissance' (1347 - 1650).
The white lord is the wearer of the Dillgent mask, with Dilligence in the dictionary meaning: "The quality of working carefully, persistently, and with a high degree of effort or attention", or in this case, "Careful, steady, and earnest effort in one's work or duties". This applies to the Renaissance well as during this era of art they often focused on the realism rather than imagination, unlike the previous era of Medieval art. This era often had dynamic poses, realistic and proportionate anatomy and precise expressions, with most artists going as far as dissecting cadavers to examine how the body moves and why it looks the way it does. I believe this adds to the 'effort' of diligence and the attention to detail during this era ties back to them almost entirely. Another key element of the Renaissance was the perspective, seen in almost every piece made during this era of art.
They used perspective so much, yet in particular used mathematics to create a realistic sense of depth by use of a "vanishing point", using straight lines on a flat surface to achieve this. I believe this applies to the White Lord as they are careful, steady and have no room for failure and thus merging into the idea of realism and balance. Their colour of white ties to the careful nature of the word diligence as, much like how white is often seen as 'pure', 'new' or 'pristine', realism is often linear and the colours in Renaissance art were often bright with shining lights being common in these work's giving it a reflective nature due to the excessive usage of white, like the clouds and robes of the man in 'Sistine Madonna' below. Albedo in alchemy is characterised by "washing away impurities" and "purification" which again ties to the realism factor of the Renaissance.
Below are some paintings which are examples of the Renaissance;
~ 'Martyrdom of St Sebastian' by Giovanni Antonio Bazzi
~ 'Sistine Madonna' by Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino
----
Lastly is the Red Lord ; I believe that they are based off of the idea of 'Romanticism' (1800 - 1850).
The Red lord is the wearer of the Mirthful mask, with Mirth in the dictionary meaning: "great merriment and laughter / amusement, happiness and joy". At first it is difficult to put an era to this but looking further into the red lord and some of the Alagga related tales and scps, specifically Rubedo Reserve: SCP-3573. This scp is essentially wine that turns the drinkers blood into red wine which I believe ties into the imagination and intense feelings of Romanticism, with these strong emotions often triumphing over intelligence and realism. I believe this is similar to one's state of mind when drunk, especially with how strong wine can be and how the world blends with imagination and how light and hazey one gets when in a drunken state of mind. With Rubedo in alchemy meaning "the creation of the elixir of eternal life" and I am tieing this into SCP-3573. The feelings and definition of Mirth also tie into this 'high on life' feeling of a drunkard and the intense emotions exhibited through romantic art.
The colour of red is often related to the feeling of passion, enthusiasm and desire which is displayed through romantic art displays. These displays are so intense they rival the realism of Renaissance art, aka the White lord. I believe this makes sense as while Black contrasts White the most ( Anguish and Diligence ), the colour Red against the tone of white is definitely the second strongest. It's violent and deeply stands out against one another. It's why so many displays of blood in violence displays are against the tone of white. The colour red in the medieval belief of 'the four humours' is infact correlated blood, again tying back to the Red lord, essentially: The idea of imagination in Romanticism with the Red lord versus the Realism of the Renaissance with the White lord.
Below are some paintings which are examples of Romanticism;
'Sur la montage' ( Partie de 'Poème de l’âme' ) by Louis Janm
'La Mélancolie' by Constance Marie Charpentier

Thank you for listening to my further canon establishment essay type device, I hope you enjoyed! This is all for my designs mostly of Operation Theatre, my canon, and is something to base them off which I will draw when I get a moment! This is a subject matter I'm extremely knowledgeable and passionate in so it means a lot that I've found a way to link it my other special interest!
Ive noticed you've liked a lot of posts from @drkoifish.. I would like to let you know that he is a terrible person who has abused and harassed a lot of people. Mostly disabled people and also drew revenge p*rn of a minor, a couple years ago.
OH I DID NOT KNOW THIS HELLO????? TYSM FOR TELLING ME ANON I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THAT
that's awful to hear eughh... I would've never liked their posts if i knew that, I hope the minor in question is doing alright
I really hope ppl realize that the sedition tape canon is slightly different from the stuff written in the articles and hope ppl get to realize that you're not obligated to follow through with the canon of the sedition tapes either..
SCP is a playground, you can take an article/SCP and make up whatever bs you want about it.. You can also follow whatever canon you want on the wiki and make your own spin on it to make it smth entirely new..
Go and be free dawg..
In both 049 and 035’s originally sedition, the topic of eachothers was brought up by referencing this specific addendum. READ THIS SHIT SO CAREFULLY.
SO THIS SITUATION RIGHT HERE IS CANNON TO THE FUCKING SEDITIONVERSE. If 049 in the new sedition hates 035 so bad because she killed Jolanda, WHY THE FUCK DID HE PURPOSEFULLY SEEK 035 OUT TO TALK DURING A BREACH AND THEN WAS SO MUCH HAPPIER AFTER TALKING TO HER?? This fuck ass sedition goes against so much of the lore that made these videos interesting in the first place.
also why would 049 hate god if he’s out here singing church hymns.
I have an opinion to share: I did not like the new SCP sedition.
Personally I think it was very poorly written, despite having 4 script writers mind you. It had some good funny moments, I agree on that, but I have a few points I want to bring up to just rant about.
First thing I want to address is how they entirely ruined the Jolanda storyline. The point of that story in 049's standalone sedition was to portray how bad his obsession with the pestilence is to the point he'd kill his own adoptive daughter who he practically raised. We also see it with Dr. Hamm in the og article but by having 035 kill Jolanda I fear it removes the drasticality of the original story and I fear they only added that for the shock factor, rather than the actual impact. That entire sedition felt like "how evil we can make 035 for no other reason than for people to feel sorry for 049 and angstslop" to make 049's own actions more forgettable and thus ruining the whole reason that story existed: again, to show how far his obsession went with the pestilence. This fandom has had a problem with babying 049 ever since he was written and I fear this does not help the cause.
The communal sedition we were promised was 049 and 035 alone, in the original trailer 3 years ago and then it was revealed they were adding 079 which I thought could've been an amusing trio.. But then they added 343? There I sort of got a bit mad. I feel they have nothing to do with one another. 049 and 035 obviously have a long long history, even in the original 049 article, but 079 and 343 paired with them? 343 just comes across as insufferable everytime he speaks and it was very hard to sit through his dialogue I found. I watched this with my girlfriend and 3 of my friends and we all nearly skipped through his dialogue
079 barely opened his mouth to speak unless if it was to talk about "Oh where's 682🥺" rather than ALL his other motives. Even his desire camera and greatest desire instead of the whole adapting into humanity it was "Was it 682?". I understand how deep their bond is, especially with their own communal sedition, but 079 is his own SCP also and I wanted to learn more about him but I fear all I got was information about 682 when he wasn't even there? The same goes for 343.
Speaking of dialogue before I get to more mischarcaterisation: It felt the entire sedition, again, was about how evil they can make 035 yet doing it poorly. Everybody in that communal sedition is morally gray in my eyes, but it felt like they just were attacking 035. Everytime they all yelled and attack 035 where was their comebacks like they had in the og 035 sedition? They just sat there and took it rather than giving some sassy and sarcastic comeback, it also felt like for a theatre mask they had no theatrics at all this time. Compare the og sedition 035 to this one and you'll see what I mean. The entire backstory of 035 was word for word a copy of the og 035 sedition, I learned literally nothing knew. Watch tries to "keep things civil" but its only for the others. Everybody is so mean to 035 but the second they opens their mouth they attack them, but for anybody else Watch says nothing at all.
Personally I feel they mostly villainslopped 035 because "Oh we need a villain so let's take it out on 035 ONLY to 049 so he can look so innocent" WHICH, AGAIN, FURTHERS INTO HOW THIS FANDOM BABYS 049. I personally, maybe, would've tolerated the Jolanda twist if they wrote it better but why, oh why wouldn't 049 in his og sedition say "Oh yeah 035 killed my daughter" if they actually did rather than saying to Jacobs "Oh yeah I killed my daughter for the disease I preach so dearly and how my actions are just so justified"? Once more repeating myself but it felt like they just threw it on for shock value rather than actual lore, plot and substance. That whole part of the video it just felt like "Oh I did this to 049 and I LOVEDDD IT, IM SO EVIL AND I LOVE IT, I DONT CARE AT ALL" despite the fact they show care for killing random people and all their victims in the og sedition which really gives 035 some more charcater I felt. They threw that out of the window entirely.
Plus the animation quality is so poor, they don't care anymore and I fear they only want the money from patreon, YouTube donations and views. The lipsyncing of 343 was rather poor, not to mention the 049 model changed where his beak is obnoxiously long and he is glossy? And the most obvious thing being how 035 doesn't even fit on their host's head and at times clips through.
My last point, maybe may add to this later, but the part where it's "Oh what scps should we interview next" and 049 picks the most random scps it makes me feel like it's AI generated? Maybe that's a me thing but while they are scps that speak it felt so out there. That's why I left that last point there, maybe a more personal gripe.
I like her quite a lot, she's based of lady justice because I thought the blindfold was smart, And instead of concrete and rebar she's copper and rebar.
She isn't too important to my canon I just like her..
I drew this back in September, but I'm trying to keep consistent posting so I don't fall into the hole of never posting again but it's so hard rn as I am neck deep in language finals so... RANDOM NONSENSE GO
