Least Trustworthy Numbers in the SCP Foundationverse, Ranked

Seven. This one needs no explanation. Seven wants to eat a lot more than nine, and it will if the Lady of Black Thorns has her way. Also, it's a symbol of the Scarlet King.

Five. Frankly, I don't trust this one either. I'm pretty sure it's an aspect of the Starfish within our semiosphere, and who knows what that thing wants.

Bear. The SCP-1313 article notes that bears are a square of a prime number neither even nor odd, which is shifty as heck. Also, whenever the equation producing bear is solved, the bear is often ravenous and enraged.

Zero. It has a reality bending cult dedicated to its worship, as detailed in the Null Sum proposal. Further, this cult wants to destroy the world.

Θ-Prime. One. This also has a 001 proposal dedicḁ̷̎t̸̞͠e̵̲̽ḑ̴̕ ̸̺̓ẗ̸͇́ò̶̮ ̸͓̆i̸̬͝ṱ̸̍ ẅ̵̰́̽͗ā̵͖͈̋͌i̶̹̜̰̭̣̘̿̋t̷̡̧̮͎̱́̃̇͘͝ ̶̦̪͕͔͕͙͒̐̅͝ẃ̵̧͔̫͇͍̾̔͠ͅḩ̷̢͔͙͔̰̄̈́̔̍̈́ạ̵͎̥̗̳͑́͛̊͊t̵̛̞̭̼͋̓'̶̪͓͔̓́̀s̷̼͖͎͖̼̙̉̓ ̴̞̤̬̌̏́̓̅̕ḩ̸̖͉̬̗̋a̴̧̼͇͕͑̉̾̈́̕p̸̢̺̻̫̖̀p̷̦̲̭͐͝ë̶̻̤́̿́̄͘ň̸̟î̶͉̗̻͙̼̣̓͊̕̚n̸̢̞͖͉̞̐̊̋͌͜g̶̙̮̬̳͎͌͂͘̕ t̵͉̤̘̥̫͕̥͙̺̒̎̇̇́̾ȍ̴̯͇͕͔̺̲͂̈́̋̏̀̑ ̸͖͋̏͗̓̽̍̚̚̚͝ṫ̵̢̛͖͚̳̫͉̺̺͍̌̒̈́͛́͝ͅh̵̡̻͇͗̂̅̆̒̈́ě̶̠͙͕̤̮̝̱̀́͐̈́̽̿̌̈́̎ ̸̻̟̲̓̈͒̒̃̆p̶̛͓̎̃́̌̈́̄͊̏̍̚ơ̵̡̡̞̻̝͖̬̾͒̔̃̀́̑̏͜s̵̢̢͎̼̱̣͆̄̃t̶͑̅̀͆̉̎͋̈́͂͜͝

Series I, Part VII

SCP-033 - The Missing Number

Another one that’s just kinda weird!

I really like when the name of the page sums up the skip as nicely as this one does. I also really like the idea that the number isn’t actively “harmful,” rather, it’s trying to integrate itself into a system that doesn’t really account (heh) for it. It’s a fun concept.

8/10

SCP-034 - Obsidian Ritual Knife

I find the implications of this much more terrifying than the report actually lets on. The ability to change into someone by cutting off a portion of their skin, and gaining their physical appearance and even their DNA absolutely terrifies me. It’s another one of those that I find deeply upsetting. Like the Pipe Nightmare.

9/10

SCP-035 - Possessive Mask

I feel like this one tries to do too much?

The basic concept is fine. I like the evil mask and the possession bits. Those are great. Everything past that, though, just feels like it’s trying too hard, to the point of becoming almost silly. It’s the opposite problem of over-redacting. Instead of there being too little information to be scary, there’s too much. Oh, the mask is super smart and tries to manipulate people into letting it escape! And it can use telepathy to do that even without a host! And it can make the walls bleed, and turn the entire cell into a concentrated zone of hate and despair that makes everyone who enters it want to kill themself!

It’s just too much.

2/10

SCP-036 - The Reincarnation Pilgrimage of the Yazidi (Kiras Guhorîn)

I’m not really sure what to make of this one, mostly because it doesn’t feel like an SCP. It’s not something that can be “secured” or “contained.” Rather, it’s a religious ritual that the Foundation just apparently helps adherents perform. Which…yeah. Giving this a null score, because it just fundamentally doesn’t feel like an SCP.

-/10

SCP-037 - Dwarf Star

Another one that’s just kinda weird. It’s a tiny star that somehow made its way to Earth, and because it’s literally tiny, it had to be hidden. There’s little else to really say about it.

4/10

SCP-038 - The Everything Tree

Major Dune vibes from this one, although I’m pretty sure I’ve just revealed how terrible my taste as a twenty-something was, because I’m pretty sure the Tleilaxu cloning farms are from the awful novels not by Herbert. Otherwise it’s just a fun sort of concept.

7/10

[fake-dr-bright-list]

Dr. Bright is not allowed to use or ask anyone to use SCP-168 to try and find the value of SCP-033. The entire foundation is still recovering from the [Redacted] incident.

[attilathe-hunter]

I think if you fed the entire number line to the set of numbers that don't exist (the cannibal set, SCP-Y) the number five might still remain because its an intrusion of the Cosmic Starfish. Or maybe it was always part of our reality, but it would still survive, because the Starfish has claimed it, and would puppet its echo.

I have no idea if 7 would also continue to exist, and honestly I don't like to speak of her. Call it superstition.
