#Species of Interest

[dzthenerd490]

File: Scary Godmother

SCP#: AJO

Code Name: Guardian of Halloween

Object Class: Archon

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-AJO cannot be contained as doing so will be a declaration of war Against Species of Interest: The Fae. Granted there are only suspected to be [data expunged] still alive today, the O5 Council have declared that it is not worth the risk to fight all the survivors at once. Until all members of the Fae species have been located and confirmed the last of their kind, no extreme decision will be made. Regardless until the O5 Council and the Ethics Committee unanimously agree on another decision, SCP-AJO will be left alone.

Instead in the rare occasions SCP-AJO gives an SCP-AJO-3 instance to a child they are to be found and given Class A or Class B amnestics as the SCP-AJO-3 instance is taken. They are then to be taken to the nearest Foundation Area and simply placed in an observation tank where the SCP-AJO-3 instance will dissolve. No SCP-AJO-3 instance has remained in Foundation custody for more than 24 hours but if one somehow does, they are to be transported to Site-AA immediately for extensive testing.

Description: SCP-AJO is a spirit that takes the form of a very slender witch and calls herself Scary Godmother. She is a spirit class anomaly with her aspect being the holiday of Halloween. She devotes herself to protecting children who are too scared, too sad, or simply don’t enjoy celebrating Halloween at all. Whether it be that they don’t know how to celebrate Halloween or have other factors that make them unhappy, SCP-AJO will seek them out and make them feel better. Normally SCP-AJO will fly them around their local area and help them trick-or-treat and overall have a good time. But for children that have overwhelming fear and/ or depression she will take them to her home dimension where common Halloween monsters and spirits live.

This new reality is known as SCP-AJO-1 and the fellow spirits and monstrous entities are known as SCP-AJO-2 instances. SCP-AJO-1 is a world that expands as the belief and joy in Halloween does, so long Halloween is considered a grand holiday, SCP-AJO-1 will exist without worry. However, if children start losing faith in SCP-AJO-1 will fall apart piece by piece and slowly be filled with chaos. 

Each SCP-AJO-2 are spirit class entities that each represents a different traditional Halloween monster such as the skeleton, vampires, werewolf, and the monster under the bed. Each of these entities represent something different and naturally have jobs that correlate with these aspects that they fulfill as spirits. Despite their scary and often grotesque forms they are not hostile and actually are extremely friendly to all children they encounter. Though they do enjoy getting a scare out of children they mostly only desire to rekindle or introduce them to the joys of Halloween as a holiday. 

Once the child has learned or relearned to love Halloween again SCP-AJO will return them home and sometimes give them an anomalous key. This key can be used to enter SCP-AJO-1 any time the child desires so long as they have access to a door with a keyhole. This key has naturally been labeled as SCP-AJO-3 and is considered a hazard for children. As a result, should this particular scenario happen, the SCP-AJO-3 instance is to be taken into Foundation custody and the child given the proper amnestics. Unfortunately, SCP-AJO-3 instances cannot be used by anyone other than the children it is given too. Furthermore, it dissolves after being taken from the child after 24 hours. It is unknown if this is a defense mechanism of some kind or if SCP-AJO knows of the Foundation's interference and does all of this from a distance. 

SCP-AJO was first discovered in 2003 after she was detected by Foundation satellites when she was teleporting [data expunged] into SCP-AJO-1. It wasn’t until midnight that SCP-AJO returned and helped [data expunged] scare her cousin who was bullying her and later saving him and his friends from the SCP-AJO-2 instances who were pretending to be evil. Once she was given an SCP-AJO-3 instance she was allowed to walk home. The Foundation took the key without her knowledge and placed Class G amnestics in her breakfast the next day. This unfortunately is how the Foundation learned that using SCP-AJO-3 without its intended owner doesn't work and typically dissolved the next day.

Since discovery SCP-AJO seems to know of the Foundation and deeply despises the organization though she does nothing to stop us or interfere. The O5 have ordered all agents monitoring SCP-AJO activity to keep their distance. Though she should be easy to subdue, it could lead to a war with Species of Interest: The Fae due to their close connections to spirit class entities. Though currently the Foundation does enough to ensure knowledge of the anomalous world does not spread, so perhaps the current containment procedures will never change.

It's almost 3 am i can't remember so many projects namees (and much of spec bio stuff i like is just earth many years from now so idk if it counts)

[kedreeva]

In case you haven't heard yet, Colossal, the biotech company that earlier this year showed off their "woolly mouse," has announced that they de-extincted "dire wolves." I put this in quotes, because just like with the mice, they didn't truly bring them back (nothing can actually do that, yet) or even really make them.

What they actually did was kind of neat; they copied genes sequenced from dire wolf DNA and inserted them into the grey wolf genome (replacing grey wolf DNA, as they said gray wolves shared a significant percentage of their genome (which isn't saying a TON considering how much the human and chimp genome have in common without being nearly the same animals, but it's better than taking, say, a turtle's genome or something else super unrelated), to create a wolf with genes that dire wolves had.

And while that's not really the same thing as building a dire wolf completely from scratch, so to speak, and it's not really "cloning" them either, it's still pretty cool science, and just like with the woolly mouse, the work (ie, altering/editing multiple genes at once from sequenced DNA of deceased individuals) COULD apply to conservation of actual species (for example, having the ability to widen the genome of remaining breeding individuals of an endangered species, with DNA from deceased individuals). I'm not sure if it IS applying to other species right now (at least not through this company, despite their stated claims to want to), but it is one of their stated goals and it would work.

Also, they're pretty cute

As they were born in October 2024, they now have their own 2,000 acre reserve where Colossal is monitoring them closely. There are two males and one female, but as they've stated they do not have plans to breed them, I'm not sure where the female is being kept in relation to the males, but I suspect she's the solo-wolf pictured, vs the pics of the pair.

Anyway, that's all happening.

Part four :)

<<FIRST<< <PREVIOUS< Update I finally did the thing! Oh and cami and fishlegs will show up pretty soon so you can look forward to that.

bruce and danny being fuckign nerds together,,,, they are being the BIGGEST nerds. geeks. if you will

these losers are color-coding the most inane bullshit. they are making diagrams for things you've never even thought of. they are having the time of their lives

"what are you two doing?"

Danny, sitting criss-cross on a table, hunched over a spread of papers and a bunch of different jello cups, his back is gonna hurt SO much: color-coding jello

Bruce, sitting in a nearby chair, also criss-cross, scribbling on a graph paper: hm [agreeing]

Alfred, already exasperated and SO fond: may i ask why? and on what parameters?

Danny: we're basing it off which flavors are the most mentally stimulating and for which subjects :}

Alfred, SO fond: ah. i see.

Danny, snapping his head over to Bruce and leaning over: wh- no-- no. Buzz, I told you: lemon-flavored jello stays strictly in the 'smelling salts' category--

Bruce, still writing on the graph paper: mn. no.

Danny, nearly sprawled across his back, faux-outraged: strawberry is NOT good for math-- you fucken HEATHEN--! Give me that pen!

Bruce, did that solely to rile up Danny, now trying not to smile: hnm.

Anteater Weevil. Smaller than a great anteater and more arboreal, the species combo would eat more termites and sap from trees than ants on the ground.

@weevilsdaily Hope you don't mind me tagging you. Your blog is what got me to get down and fully design an idea I've had for a while.

I love both great anteaters and weevils so so much.

Leo skeletal anatomy! Click for better quality :)

The way most turtles actually fit into their shells is because their arms and legs are shaped to fit into the loose skin around the openings for their limbs, but on account of their human proportions, I just suspend my disbelief as to how mutant turtles could fit in their shells without the odd configuration to their organs that real turtles have. Real turtles have flat lungs that sit widely along their carapace, which is weird but cool. Turtles shed their scutes (the large flat scales on their shells and plastron) about once a year or if the scutes are damaged. The scutes have barely any skin between them and the bone, which is why turtle skeletons usually have the scutes on still, though they can pop off. The rest of the skin sheds regularly though, instead of in large patches.

For the brothers’, their respiration is much more human than turtle. Therefore, their lungs need to expand and contract with their diaphragm rather than just with their movement, so therefore they must have some flexibility to their chest. Some turtles, like box turtles, already have hinged plastrons, and softshell shells are mostly cartilage, so it’s not too far off to assume that there’s a bit of cartilage just to the upper plastral bones of the hard shelled brothers to give their humanoid lungs room to breathe.

Poor Leo. After the movie, one could assume he’s got a couple broken bones. It kind of made me morbidly curious as to how to describe injuries on a character whose skeletal structure is quite different from a human’s for my own writing!

Feel free to use as reference or disregard, these are just my own little speculations :)

When the Time Lords kept their eye on everything, you could hop between realities, home in time for tea. Then they died, took it all with them. The walls of reality closed, the worlds were sealed. Everything became that bit less kind.

SCP#: AHL

Code Name: The Ancient Fragment

Object Class: Keter Homager

Special Containment Procedures: The perimeter of SCP-AHL is blocked off from the rest of the world by a common restricted area fence. Unfortunately, this is the best that can be done as SCP-AHQ instances keep attacking Foundation staff and any AFA units that are sent to seal up SCP-AHL's cavern system. Instead, containment is devoted to preventing more living beings form entering SCP-AHL's area of effect to prevent more SCP-[data expunged] instances form being born. 

Description: SCP-AHL is a mountain filled with a cavern system that is filled with all sorts of mystic, traditional, and ancient glyphs, ruins, and markings created from quite literally every single culture and civilization in the entire world throughout history. This includes Species of Interest: The ISU, the Fae, Atlanteans, Ancient [data expunged], the Davites, and even the [data expunged] which should be impossible since they only existed in [data expunged].

It seems that one way or another each of these civilizations, species, and cultures came to SCP-AHL in order to either appease or help seal an entity that resides within. The exact nature of this entity inside SCP-AHL is unknown so there is no proper label or classification for it. What is known is that recently by unknown means the ritual to appease this entity has stopped and now its influence has been leaking out into the world. 

This unfortunately led to the discovery of SCP-AHL in [data expunged] through a series of horrific events that took place. Please see Addendum X-52 for details. 

***

Addendum X-52

The following is a short list of anomalous incidents that occurred and are

Incident AHL.498 - Suddenly a large number of bodies started dropping in [data expunged]. None of the bodies could be identified to any person during life. The bodies were quickly found an incinerated and the whole incident was regarded as a local Creepypasta that would eventually be chalked up to an urban legend.

Incident AHL.303 - Suddenly a large number of pregnant women in [data expunged] had lost their children out of nowhere despite nothing else about them changing biologically. After about a day their bodies turned to normal to fully confirm their babies were just gone. Furthermore, they were all testing and shown to be biologically unable to become pregnant again. The incident couldn't not be explained but was left alone as it was believed that to try to interfere at this point would only raise more suspicion.

Incident AHL.767 - Possibly the worst incident yet, a construction crew went to SCP-AHL under the orders of [data expunged] to build a new facility. They all either ended up dying eventually or transforming into anomalous undead monsters. Each one retained a unique effect and a few even gained anomalous abilities that allowed them to kill or curse other people around them easily. Furthermore, this was also the first sightings of SCP-AHQ instances. They unfortunately became aware of the Foundation and have been slaughtering MTF units and agents in [data expunged]. It was this incident that changed SCP-AHL's object class form Keter to Homager.

***

Efforts to contain SCP-AHL have been stagnant as the Foundation has unfortunately been forced to focus more on the concerning grown of SCP-AHQ instances. These instances have killed hundreds of civilians and Persons of Interest in the area. This is assumed to be all related to Group of Interest: SimioDyn. A powerful technology company providing at the time top of the line security technology and computer systems. It is believed that this company is a front for a cult that worships the entity within SCP-AHL and is trying to create more SCP-AHQ instances. Though why they are doing this is unknown.

Hermit-A-Day May day 11: CUB!

I found some new fun brushes for drawing paint splatters :D

[zaccharine-vulture]

Lichen appreciation post! These were found on my walk around the creek this morning. Apothecia are so damn beautiful. The t e x t u r e s, omfg.

Also! This little green lacewing larva was hard at work collecting lichen fragments on a hackberry tree. I'd never heard of them until I searched this gal up after finding her, and I learned that the larva collect small bits of lichen to make a packet on their back that functions as camouflage and is used to create their cacoon when they are ready to pupate. So cool!

I like to think that a while or years later while living with Cait, Vi starts to get smile lines. And that their decently prominent and that she gains some happy fat like in the last scene where she looks fed for once. Because my bbg deserves all the happiness in the world after all she’s been through and even if she hadn’t been through all that.

I like to think of little inconveniences she’d have, like her neck prolly hurts a little in the mornings from the difference in pillow quality. Since Cait prolly has soft large pillows or just good quality ones unlike prison or every establishment vi has lived in. But she eventually gets used to them or she just sleeps with her head on Cait.

Something funny would be vi slowly adopting the posh accent Cait has but only on certain words, not entirely and ekko mocking her whenever it slips. Even better if she gets interested in the books the kiramman’s have. Like her vocabulary would switch up like crazy and since those books are probably generational it’s possible she’s pick up (ancient slang lol) old pompous words and weird sayings that even Cait wouldn’t be able to understand. It’d be cute to think about Cait working at her desk or on the couch while vi sits by the fireplace reading for her and pointing out funny or weird parts and mocking them. Or her reading in silence and randomly speaking up to tell her a random fact she just learned and Cait just smiling to herself.

I wonder if vi would take to tea, or maybe just certain tea’s. I can imagine she and Cait testing out a new type of tea every day and rating them all, pretending to host tea parties. Bonus points if Caits hunting dogs join them and get a biscuit and pet from time to time. I feel like vi would take well to the dogs and play with them. Cait would tell her to leave them alone due to their training and needing to be on guard only for her to dote on them too.

Cait prolly takes vi hunting with her and tries teaching her the ways to track prey, how to aim a rifle and such. I’d say vi might be a bit into foraging and maybe in the mansion she’d find a book on the shrubs and such the Kirammans have on their land and in turn point them out and teach Cait about them. They then start carrying baskets when they go out and come back with berries and game to make dinner and dessert out of for later.

lol all this just from looking at vi smile once.

how the hell do you find so many frogs

This is a photo I took of Miguel Vences, one of my two doctoral supervisors, and I believe the most prolific living frog taxonomist, demonstrating how one finds so many frogs: looking carefully in the right place, and knowing what one is looking for/at. Here, we were at the top of Marojejy, a mountain in northeastern Madagascar. On this trip we discovered several new frog and lizard species.

You can also watch a film where I talk a bit about some of the work that goes into discovery, from my trip to the Bealanana district in northern Madagascar.

This expedition yielded MANY new species.
