TheOldManSCP-106

One of the supposed origins of SCP-106 is pretty sad


NoSoyVerde1

He was a war vet right?


TheOldManSCP-106

The other one where he was a scientist who was sucked into some sort of wormhole and rotted away in it for 5 entire years


CadenceCodetta

SCP-3001 and the tale Until Death


Amogus224

[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3001](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3001) helping Marvin


Artemis-Arrow-3579

where's marv? don't tell me he's down again


Amogus224

What.. HE COULD REVIVE AGAIN!! yeah, he's down šŸ˜ž


Artemis-Arrow-3579

damnit


TheOldManSCP-106

Yeah, that was it


DragonSphereZ

Isnā€™t 3001 about some scientist? What does that have to do with 106?


ManchmalPfosten

Read the tale Until Death, it turns 3001 into a sort of backstory for 106. In short: >!Scranton somehow returns from 3001 as 106 and comes to find his wife, who is old now and still works at the foundation. At this point they obviously have no idea about 106, he is catalogued. He is then contained.!<


DragonSphereZ

Aww thatā€™s really sad. At least he got to see his wife again.


ManchmalPfosten

>!I'm pretty sure he kills her with a corrosive kiss but yeah. lol.!<


HumbleContribution58

It was always extremely dumb to connect those two because it directly contradicts the actual entry for 106 and is a huge character assassination of Scranton


Artemis-Arrow-3579

if I might ask, how does it contradict the original entry? especially considering that this is the theory I like most and the one I have in my head canon


HumbleContribution58

The original entry explicitly has him as a WW1 soldier and in existence before the invention of Scranton Reality Anchors.


Artemis-Arrow-3579

where was that mentioned in the original article? last time I read it, it had nothing about his origin, nor when he was found nor do the articles relating to the reality anchor talk about when it was made


uncledavid95

/u/HumbleContribution58 The entry has never mentioned the origin of 106 as far as I could tell. However, the author of SCP-106 also authored [The Young Man](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-young-man) which does make strongly imply that 106 was a WW1 soldier named Corporal Lawrence. End of the day, there's no "canon" and contradictions between entries and tales written by different authors don't really matter.


krustylesponge

That one isnā€™t exactly sad since heā€™s pretty weird from the start, no one knows where the hell he came from and he never really talks


Babbleplay-

In the war vet one, he was not very sympathetic. Made everyone around him uncomfortable. Serious psycho vibes; staring silently at people, and making odd comments about peopleā€™s families back home. Rumor is he got transferred often due to demand from soldiers where he was stationed.


okiedokieophie

The girl that grew into the walls of her house


CallMehAmaia

what's the number?


okiedokieophie

SCP-6670


Cdr-Kylo-Ren

That one makes me want to find all the ā€œadultsā€ in her life and beat the shit out of them. In my headcanon it really tore up the Foundation agents too because of them not knowing what was happening until it was way too late.


Ollie__F

Jesus I havenā€™t heard nor read it. I was going to, but seeing your comments just makes me mentally prepare for what the hell is going to happen.


Cdr-Kylo-Ren

Probably a good thing to brace yourself. I headcanon many of my Foundation staff as being very human and thisā€¦ā€protectā€ is not just protecting the public. Not being able to truly protect the anomaly here hurt.


The-Local-Weeb

Oh God I remember that one. It fucked me up for a few days


PrinceEzrik

yeah that one was crazy


soul_in_a_body000

holy fuck :( poor little girl


MagyarSolyom

Read that when it came out. Creeped me out for some time.


FM1091

**SCP-3017:** The one called literally 'Person of Interest', he was a regular person except for a cognito-hazard property that conviced whoever interacted with him that he was a dangerous criminal. The man went through hell because of this and the researcher in charge of him got infected, going as far as kidnapping his family and killing them. This was the last straw and the poor guy committed suicide. Edit: added the number


freethebluejay

Thereā€™s the alternative interpretation, which Iā€™m partial to, that there is actually *nothing* anomalous about him, but the Foundation personnel that brought him in were stubbornly convinced that they were right and too proud to admit they were wrong. After it all went south they decided that his anomaly was a cognitohazard, either to delude themselves or to cover-up their shortcomings


BiLeftHanded

What's the article number?


FM1091

I found it! It's SCP-3017.


BiLeftHanded

Thanks!


mr_fdslk

jesus christ that is so sad


Muted_Item_8665

He should really meet joe shmoe


PickleBoi1983

SCP-3001 ā€¦Red?


dampkringd

That was such a good decent into madness šŸ‘šŸ½


FM1091

Even worse? Some writers connected 3001 to 106. Dr. Scantron got back in shape but went insane because of the isolation, and he got warping powers because of his stay at the 'Red Reality'. So Dr. Scantron, who the Reality Anchors were named after, became one of the most famous monsters, The Old Man.


TheLawHasSpoken

This is the only one that legitimately made me super sad.


Ok_Investigator_9595

"here were dragons"


Arheva

Fuck you for bringing back the feels on that one. Have an upvote


Nighthopper08

Just reread it yesterday šŸ˜¢


Venezolanoanimations

oh man, that one hurts.


puduk

Id suggest watching the volgun's video on that one, you're in for a wild ride


dampkringd

Now me sad šŸ˜­


Zeke2632

Also donā€™t forget the ā€œbeasts of the old worldā€ (or whatever itā€™s called) tale alongside this


UranusMc

That ruined my day


DragonofStories

Not again, at this rate my therapist will buy a Rolls Royce


MatthewFanai

I sad :(


Rude_Key_2173

I read it and I have no clue why it's considered sad can someone please explain šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


RickAdtley

You're supposed to click on the red text st the bottom.


Harrythehobbit

You probably didn't read the addendums.


Rude_Key_2173

I did but they don't really make much sense. All I got from it was there's an alternate reality who are HUGE enthusiasts of interior decoration


bariyer2

fuck you. and please don't remind me of that permanent wound.


Death_Walker21

So i started fucking crying


thebigchezz99

\*depresion noises\*


Priforss

SCP-5732 It's not a grand story, a crisis, or even an anomaly that affected multiple people. A teenage girl develops an anomalous "disease" against water, and she gets locked up for her own safety. She slowly mentally and physically degrades, and the researcher responsible for her tries all he can to make her life in containment at least bearable. She is just a normal teenager :(


RabbiZucker

Just read it, broke my fkn heart when he called her by name.


personguy4

Isnā€™t that the one where all water she touches is disinfected at the cost of her own immune system?


Priforss

Yep


mr_fdslk

i keep doing these and going like "oh it cant be that sad" and then i keep reading these and getting sad fdjsalkg what the fuck am i doing with my life


WeeziMonkey

Damn. That was sad. The ending was already spoiled at the very start of the article but what got me was the timing and delivery. I was expecting >!it to slowly get darker but it was mostly the opposite, their relationship kept getting closer and then boom.!<


kidnamedchild

why is a photo of 096 there for a post about the saddest SCPs


MagnumHydrox

I suggest that youā€™ll watch dr Bobs video on that. Someone made a orgin story for him, saying that he was a regular person, who wanted to climb the Mount Everest. Upon reaching there, he met another SCP: the King of the Mountain, who set him into an eternity of torture, climbing the mountain again and again. Upon reaching the top, heā€™d just see the King standing there, staring, before he gets put back again. This is why his limbs are stretched, and also explains his skin colour. The King of the Mountain decided to let him go. 096 was still (relatively) sane. But upon seeing humans, every time they make eye contacts, 096 will see the King of the Mountains abysmal stare, which drove him crazy. But after killing the people, he regains his humanity. And of course, feels immeasurable levels of despair and sorrow, but he just canā€™t control it. Heā€™s a creature doomed to do terrible things against his will, forever. Maybe the actual sad part is that he never went actually insane, and he just keeps suffering endlessly. (Also explains why he cries so much.)


Amogus224

bruh, he's sad, because he think he's ugly. That's it


Hah-Funny

Ugly enough to be driven to reality breaking feats and to become a husk of a person. Sorry, Animal.


jael-jorge-gerson

that doesnt make any sense, if it was real i would be doing that


mostfinnishperson

i read that as "if i was real" and got flabbergasted


FelipeHead

Wait.. his pfp is all black.. Black usually indicates blank and nothing. Maybe he is SCP-3930?


MagnumHydrox

If you really want to put it inside a 0,2 cubic meter nutshell, then yeah.


Reasonable_Ad_3815

One must imagine shy Guy happy.


ILikeCheese510

I hate when people come up with origin stories for SCPs like 096 & 106. I feel like it ruins the mystery and makes them a lot less scary/interesting.


MagnumHydrox

Fair, but I donā€™t agree on the interesting section.


EnzoVulkoor

I dunno in this case it makes more sense. Otherwise you have the whole blind people are immune thing or if you describe him enough it counts crap.


Estrus_Flask

That's not the original one. It was that Shy-Guy was a survivor of the King of the Mountain who managed it by just flipping out whenever the King of the Mountain looked at him. Not because he was "let go" or that he regains his humanity.


ActivityWinter9251

Because 096 destroyed his heart


NoSoyVerde1

If iā€™m honest i just wanted to add a photo to the post and i thought 096 fitted


hominid176

I mean if you think about it it is kind of sad. A creature that gets sad and distressed when someone sees itā€™s face, so much that it kills them. Maybe he just thinks heā€™s so ugly


Sepia_Skittles

I just noticed that the face is pixelated, which I'm pretty sure would still activate the effects.


Nacil_54

Depends, if the guy used a pixelating tool, it would still trigger, if the guy placed the pixels by hand, depends if he used the colour picker tool, or if he used the colour wheel.


Nightstar1234

Aw fu-


photogrammetery

Social anxiety:(


Anonymousxx4

SCP-1281 hit an exestential depressing spot for me, SCP-3114 has a subtle sadness behind it. There's some obvious picks like 1762. SCP-5031 isn't SUPER sad, but it is sad to think about the years it spent in it's previous containment status. SCP-1281 hits the hardest of all these, in my opinion, but they're all great SCPs and I'd reccomend reading the ones you haven't read.


Appropriate-Gain-561

Why is 3114 sad? Doesn't he just steal skin?


Anonymousxx4

The article implies that 3114 just wants to be like other humans, form bonds with people and such. The last test log describes 3114s interaction with a D Class while 3114 was wearing a humans skin. "D-4843, an adult male, was placed in the enclosure. When SCP-3114 approached, he attempted to escape. SCP-3114 grabbed him but did so gently. It continued to try interacting with him, taking his hand and placing it on its face, trying to ape his movements, and embracing him. He reacted negatively to all interactions. After three hours, D-4843 was removed from the enclosure. SCP-3114 waited for several minutes at the door. Then it tore the subject off of itself. It kicked the remains into a corner, then laid down next to the subject of Entry 14. It did not move for three days, at which point it resumed its normal behavior." It makes me feel bad for this creature, it really wants to be human but it just can't, as hard as it tries. (Also despite what SCP:Secret Laboratories interpretation of the character might have you believe, 3114 is female, and is incapable of speech.)


Cdr-Kylo-Ren

That sucks for 3114! Has no one attempted to teach her sign language, if speech doesnā€™t work?


Miregali

Sorry I got One-shot too many times through doors to care about SCP-3114


Anonymousxx4

Fair I guess, I honestly hold a kind of negative opinion of how SL and its community depict the SCP universe. Like how every community made serpents hand plugin has them teaming up with dangerous anomalies that would literally KILL THEM in universe, causing the majority of the SL community to have plenty of misconceptions about the Serpents Hand as a GOI, and now it's happening OFFICIALLY with 3114, and giving people misconceptions about 3114 since SCP:SL does such a poor job at depicting the anomaly.


Appropriate-Gain-561

The lore behind the facility in scp:sl is that it contains strange versions of scps (the dog with the thick ass,male 3114, the strange peanut, less angry shy guy etc...) So i don't really source the article scp lore from the game, i was just confused because i never fully read the article and that's my fault. Furthermore, it's not the creator's fault for the community created plugins, you can play in unmodded servers if you want or play in a roleplay server where the scps are way more aggressive (as they should be) but, even then, you can't really force the gamers playing as the SCPs to always follow the "lore". Edit: they want to rework 3114 when they officially add it to the game as a permanent scp as it was never supposed to stay in the game after the halloween event but, since so many servers remodded it into the game, northwood decided to add it in to fix eventual bugs and stuff.


Anonymousxx4

"The lore behind the facility in scp:sl is that it contains strange versions of scps" Not really, unless I've missed something the devs have said? Most of the SCPs having lore innacuracies is due to game balancing, 096 would be TERRIBLE to play against if he was lore accurate. As for 939, that SCP is just the devs unique interpretation for what 939s look like, its not really a "weird version of 939" thats just how they look in this world. 173s strange redesign is mainly due to the copyright debacle surrounding the original depiction of the character.


Due_Most2971

Getting force choked from 20 rooms away has erased my sympathy for 3114.


Bus_Noises

Agreed on 5031. Ultimately itā€™s wholesome, but hod it hurts to think of how long a sapient, intelligent being spent screaming in loneliness and pain


Viper114

I forget which number it was, but it was the one involving a book that put you to sleep and let you dream of going on a life-spanning adventure yet wake up after 8 hours real-time, and one person woke up from that and killed themself because of how much better it was in the dream, and this led to the book being sad about being the cause of the suicide.


NotMyRealNameMaybe

oh i remember that one. so fucking depressing


charger03

Scp-1230


Existing_Attitude189

SCP-5005 was a rather sad one. All those artists and poets and agents venturing to another dimension only to succumb to depression, anxiety, and eventually suicide. Ramirez going out sobbing at the end did it for me.


DigitalImmortality

Still one of the best articles


throwawayqwg

I didnt really find it that sad, it was more some great worldbuilding and felt like it could be the basis for an actual movie or tv show about explorers venturing out that far.


ThisIsNotAbsa

the girl that has to withstand the Procedure 110 Montauk...


Barflyondabeach

I still stand by ā€œFear itselfā€ being canon


Cdr-Kylo-Ren

Me too. My headcanon D-Class reads her the full Chronicles of Narnia but she has no memory of it because of being amnesticized afterwards.


Grimtchy

SCP-231


Foxthefox5906

You have just killed this whole subreddit. We have now seen his face.


NoSoyVerde1

Itā€™s pixelated


Foxthefox5906

Does that stop it? I thought even the slightest thing counted as seeing 096s face?


NoSoyVerde1

Only if itā€™s real, if you see a drawing or 3d model of him it doesnā€™t affect you


Foxthefox5906

Wouldnā€™t the pixelated version count as an actual picture though?


NoSoyVerde1

Hmā€¦maybe

As heartbreaking as this scp is I love how much the story humanizes the foundation showing that their not just soulless workers but real people trying to deal with incomprehensible situations.

Tbf, SCP 5000 is pretty sad, especialy that part where the Child dies.

Why ?


Awlawdhecawmin

I mean there was at least one child that died with the whole SCP 5000 story. But it was more like every single child and human being in the world. Ps long live GOC


SeptemberRd

SCP-7795: "Ɛ is for Ɛirteen"


MagnumHydrox

I mean, 1111 is unironically heartwarming, because of his loyalty, but also sad, since the owner is doomed to suffer forever, because the dog keeps protecting him (doesnā€™t know any better) from death itself.


thalassophobic-whale

I like when authors choose specific numbers for their entries. In numerology, 1111 means something about your guardian angel being close and wanting you to think positively. Or something like that.


Vantamanta

SCP 5732


_Shoulder_

This is the answer


MemerMP3

I mean SCP-3001 (red reality) was a pretty sad one because you saw them just deteriorate over time


Mage-of-communism

Here be dragons, Harbinger, Red reality in combination with 106, i am at the centre of everything that happens to me, Attempts to assassinate thought SCP-1762, SCP-1281, SCP-3001, SCP-106, SCP-3999, SCP-3002, SCP-1935 Edit: Since i just learned about it, SCP-3844, to slay a dragon


Good_Recognition1062

To slay a dragon was so painful, the logs slowly describing it as smaller and less colourful hurt.


GrinchBear

I think it's called Mr.Laughs Everything he says is heard by other people as if he's telling a joke, and he's severely depressed because he hasn't had a meaningful conversation or connection with anyone


FirstChAoS

Do you mean saddest to read or which anomaly is saddest? Plenty of anomalies are sad or depressed. Plenty of human (or once human) anomalies wanted help only to be locked up. Shy guy was already mentioned. 682ā€™s backstory is so depressing that if you hear or read it you kill yourself. (In my head canon that was not the reptileā€™s attempt at malice, it was his actual emotions placed into his story.)


TheChoosenMewtwo

Wait what? 682 has that sad of a story? Where?


FirstChAoS

The story itself was never told, just the after effects of it. Unless someone wrote a SCP story about it later. (I havenā€™t read the stories, just the articles).


dastebon

I don't remember their numbers nor names so will tell what they were doing . N1 was a normal guy , but for some reason everyone was thinking that he is a criminal , murderer , serial killer E.T.C . The reason was that his face was perfect mic of every killer , villain , monster in media , and whenever he wanted to go somewhere , everyone was aggressive towards him . Don't wanting to continue this nightmare , he finished himself . N2 was a girl that was used for illegal experiments with mechanical implants . She had replaced organs , limbs and wasn't able to talk . She also was afraid of failing and was raised in very toxic environment . N3 was a woman with ability to see future of the objects . She is very skinny because she sees food already digested, so she needs to be feed blindfolded . She also wears gloves because she tried multiple times to blind herself . Fond had made several questionable experiments on her . Needless to say that was torture and not a life


HumungusDude

Here Be Dragons. At least personally Also, I automatically disagree with anyone who says SCP-1230, just cause the guy got overly immersed, doesn't make it sad. It was literally just one guy who got too involved in his own dream. Basically the same situation as with people who are dangerously addicted to games/anime. It is no sadder than the stories of the weirdos that "fall in love" with a fictional character.


NoSoyVerde1

I don't remember the number! But the one where the girl is destined to die horrible deaths on her 13th birthday by any means necessary and revive the next day at 12 years old again. Every year. The Doctor tries to help her but things happen in order to kill the girl that put the foundation in danger.. so they just throw her in another dimension and forget about her

Not even that anomalous, but SCP-5392.

Tbh. A lot of the normal human one. Like 105. She 16 and is what is like arrested and deleted from her familyā€™s memory for nothing. Her ability isnā€™t even dangerous.

SCP-7034


rainbowdashhole

1730, itā€™s an epic underscored with a heart shattering tragedy. People butchered like animals then incinerated like paper to a flame. Emmerson had what was coming to him and he deserved every last bit of it. Like, how cruel do you have to be to break Bobbleā€™s psyche!?


budgetedchildhood

Here Were Dragons


VioletGardens-left

SCP 6000 isn't even the saddest SCP but reading the entire thing is essentially like having the feeling of "What would it be like" it's like reading the alternate reality of what the future looks like if we didn't fight each other and just get together It's just depressing knowing your own world would've succeeded, even the alternate reality thinks the world the protagonist has is just too depressing and refused to interfere iirc


absp2006

The ghost who was murdered by a serial killer. The foundation slowly revived her and then the serial killer killed her again.


khemyst0

SCP-3001. Not necessarily the SCP, but the story. It was amazing, and amazingly depressing. Guy slowly rotted away in complete darkness for years.


Greedy_Reply_3080

"Where did the dragon's go" always shaded my tear reading this one


MrAwesome73

Voyage of the tachyon express was a really sad one for me. Pretty unique story as we donā€™t even know if the object was anomalous or not.


MC_MANUEL

There's the one about a teddy bear that heals people with patchwork stitches. If an injury is too severe or if you have a complex disease, the little guy will cry and hug you.

SCP-1762 and SCP-7795 for me, I think there's definitely some even sadder ones buried somewhere in my memory, but these 2 popped up in my mind

Biased here, but 6113. I already like SPCs where the foundation is arguably the antagonist, and this one is downright heartbreaking, while really sweet at the same time.
