HELP// Weak Connection with my deity!

I work with Athena(4 years) and Áine(6 months) and recently (after a big brake from witchcraft) I started again my craft and I feel Athena and receive signs and I speak to her normally but Áine's energy seems a little weak. I don't recieve signs, her candle is always dull, It's almost like I lost inspiration towards her. I asked her what could I do to strength our connection and I did not understand very well what she told me trough tarot. It's kinda wierd. What do I do? Have anyone been through this?

@disneyanddisneyships Mal alter ego lore???

As far as we know.. Venice is the "What if" character of mine. What if she never encoumtered Lilly again? What it she had nothing to live for? What it the Mal we know turned into a different person? Completely?

But.. if I had gone with Venice.. what would her life in hell be like? We know Mal, she worked for Val before Aponi took over, she owns a small bar, the overlord of luck. She owns selfish greedy souls. She makes deals for the people who want things that satisfies them but will never make them truly happy. She also has a basement hideout in case of extermination.

But Venice. What do we know about HER?? Just the evil version of Mal?

I'd like to make a difference. (Ehe)

Venice. When she first got to hell as Mal, deal-making wasn't easy. She decided to use the things she was good at in her advantage. Singing and killing. So she gained power by it, inly a few, though. Owning souls by deal-making with the promise of everything they want from her. That, or hypnotizing people with her snake into selling their souls, which occurs at small bar concerts.

Then she saw the Vee's. She dreamt big. She ained for the top. So, as her talent, her fanbase, her popularity grew, it caught the eye of a certain rectangle headed demon.

She's a trickster out for chaos. Many people don't know why her songs and her in general is very addictive. The reason why is because they sold their souls, and they didn't know.

She met Vox, who snuck in her dressing room to praise her for her work.

The bitch was ready to get more power and influence with the Vee's since the leader approached her directly.

She became an overlord.. finally owning millions of souls as the years went by and the population of hell grew even more.

I think her personality is more like Velvet from Trolls 3. Exclude the "fake talent" because I think Ven is very talented. She's a greedy, selfish, fake popstar idol who only does things for applause and fame. When someone finds something out about her that she doesn't tell the public, she'll have the vee's back her up by hiding evidence of her killings.

I think my voice claim for her (and mal) fits very well because I'm looking for an "ear candy" type of voice.

As for her rs with Vox.. with Mal, it's enemies to lovers slow burn, but with Ven, it's buisness partners to friends to lovers slow-burn because although there could be chemistry, there is also distrust and manipulation going on between the two.

Idk I just feel like the "worshipping celebrities/idols" thing would fit Venice's concept very well. Like the obsessive behavior, the stalking, the fans defending their idols at everything they do wrong because they lose morals over their favorite singers.. I just feel like she'd gain souls that way.

So we have the Vee's now, who cater to everyone's obsessions/addictions.

Velvette - social media

Vox - gadgets

Val - p^rn

Venice - idolism/fame

I love villains

Let's open our wings and fly as high as the eye can see. Let's dive into the white fluffy clouds. Let's relax on the flower meadows and mossy stones. This kingdom steals the hearts of travelers with its beauty and ease. It overshadows the featureless dunes of Isle of Dawn. Welcome to the world where the ancestors achieved harmony with the beings of light. Welcome to the Daylight Prairie.

This place greets us right after we have recieved our cape. The Daylight Prairie seems to be an ideal realm, an ideal habitat for creatures of light. And I can't disagree with that. This place, unlike all other kingdoms, literally screams harmony with light. It is on the Prairie that we see butterfly catchers, bird nests and bells leading us. It is in the Prairie that Days of Nature are held, which are entirely dedicated to unity with the beings of light. In addition, the Prairie contains a large number of symbols of the Megabird herself. Gold, flowers, birds and bells. It's probably surprising to hear this from me, but the Daylight Prairie was the capital of Megabird worship. The spiritual center of her entire cult. And I was ready to believe it.

There was not a single evidence of the presence of another entity or another type of energy in this realm. The Daylight Prairie is perfect in its own... "lightnessness".

A mysterious altar, closed with 8 locks. This is a very strange, paranormal place. Skykids run through it in a hurry every day, not considering it necessary to enjoy the atmosphere of this place. But there is something fascinating about this location. It's magical. Maybe it's the isolation of this place, or maybe it's the difficulty of getting there. Anyway, all my life I considered this place to be an altar for Megabird. Eight pedestals, displayed in a circle and decorated with gold ornaments. Well, that's clearly Megabird. Everything was working out. Until two curious spirits came to this place with the intention of holding a festival here. And what happened next turned everything around.

The sounds of laughter and bells ringing. They have awakened this place from a long slumber. The empty altars lit up with new colors, releasing a column of energy unprecedented up to that moment into the sky. It wasn't a Megabird. We are too familiar with her handwriting to confuse it with someone else's. In the days of Color, we were dealing with something else. Someone else.

Prismix. Their name is Prismix. They are a little spirit of love and fun. A nymph or a satyr, if you transfer it to Greek mythology. They are active only during their holiday - Days of Color. This festival is held at the very beginning of summer, when nature is at its peak and the sun shines brightest in the sky. This is a celebration of love. Love for family, soulmate, friends and, of course, for yourself. The Primix awakens once a year for this celebration. They sow joy throughout the festival, and when people leave their altar, they peacefully falls asleep in it. Until next year.

The cults of Megabird and Prismix did not conflict with each other. Because the cult of Prismix did not exist as such. Prismix didn't need anything like that. They were never a full-fledged deity. They can't even leave their altar. All this spirit wanted was to bring smiles to the faces of the people of the Prairie. What a naive wish.

When Alef arrived on the Prairie with the desire to get rid of all the other gods, Ayin thought about it. Is it worth killing Prismix? He has done nothing to deserve such a fate. Instead of killing them, like the Four of the isle, Ain suggested a more peaceful way to get rid of this creature. There is no need to try to forcibly lock them in the altar if you can just not wake them up. It was a very neat decision. All the symbols of Prismix were removed from their altar and safely hidden. And the altar itself was closed with 8 locks and forgotten forever.

But now Prismix has awakened. And they hasn't changed. They are still cheerful, naive and happy. It doesn't matter to them who stands in front: a living person, a dead spirit or a child of light. Everyone deserves to be happy. I don't think Prismix's little head is designed to understand the horror of what happened in this world. 

 

After all these years, they finally had friends. The two spirits that had accidentally awakened them. Now they have become their prophets, and year after year they return to this place with new ideas to make the Days of Color unforgettable. And the elder of the Daylight Prairie, through his slumber, hears the laughter of little Prismix, and thinks how things could have turned out differently.

अभी "ऐन" लिखूं तू सोचे मुझे

फिर "शीन" लिखूं तेरी नींद उड़े

जब "काफ़" लिखूं तुझे कुछ कुछ हो

मैं "इश्क़" लिखूं तुझे हो जाए..

the word "Ishq" is made up of three letters, "Ain, sheen and qaaf" these three letters stand for three stages of love. Ain:- Ain is for "ibadat" which means worship. When love gets purity, it takes you to the place where love equals worship. Sheen:- Sheen is for "shaq" which means doubt. The lover starts doubting his love. Qaaf:- Qaaf is for "Qurbaan" which means sacrifice.

Heliopolis Starship Portal Ain Shams "Eye of the Sun" Talon Abraxas

Atum created the so-called Ennead, the group of nine gods that embodied the creative source and chief forces of the universe. Though the Ennead is quite well-know within the alternative field (if only through such books as The Stargate Conspiracy), it is less-known within the world at large. Still, the Ennead, the Nine Principles through which the Pharaoh ruled and ordered the forces of the universe, dominated Egyptian thought from the Old Kingdom onwards, for no less than three thousand years. It is therefore the longest living theology that ever existed.

Atum was worshipped in the site’s primary temple, which was known by the names Per-Aat, “Great House” and Per-Atum, “the House of Atum”. Another temple in Heliopolis was the “Mansion of the Benben”, also known as the “Mansion of the Phoenix”, which is believed to have been a sacred precinct in which in the middle of an open courtyard, stood a stone pillar, on top of which sat the “benben stone”. It was seen as the solidified seed of Atum, the Stone of Creation, a magical stone, and some have concluded that it was of meteoric origin, “shining” in the sky, but when fallen on earth, black. Alas, the stone itself has at one point in time – no-one is quite sure when precisely – disappeared and is hence impossible to study. It was on this stone that the phoenix – the Greek rendition of the Egypt benu bird – was said to return periodically, whereby he was reborn from his ashes – heralding a new era.

Hello everyone 🌑🦌🌿 I hope you all had a wonderful day♡. Today I felt very connected to the magic and made some stones with symbols of the deities I worship or have worshiped because, why not? Even though they look a bit dhitty (I can’t draw a straight line), I’m happy to honor my deities. The one I’m most proud of is the dragon sigil, which I obviously didn’t make myself—my mom did it for me :)). For the goddess Aine, with whom I haven’t worked much but whom I admire greatly, I couldn’t find a specific seal or symbol, unlike the well-known ones of other deities or their astrological signs/asteroids, so I invented one myself, which represents the duality of the moon and the sun, as well as faerie signs. Also, I just finished reading The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker and I highly recommend it—5 STARS OUT OF 5. It’s a book that’s both sad and beautiful, showing the reality of women’s lives during the Trojan War. And that’s about it. I hope you have a lovely night 🍓🌾🌕🌱

Legacy of kain Fourge of Nosgoth.

Canceled fun fiction part three.

Afterword.

And so I would like to start the third part by describing only the concepts. The narration part is over.

And so, as I wrote above, the chronology of Legacy of Kain series , due to many circumstances, resembles Frankenstein. Many games are too different in style and plot, and there are also big differences between the lore of the series. In order to connect most of the plot, I had to leave only the events from the games blood omen 1 and soul reaver 1. At the same time, I partially rewrote the plot to fit the new chronology.

Soul reaver 1 era.

And so I'll start with the first soul reaver . First of all, the narrative had many blank spots that I want to fill in now.

I'll start with the empire of Kain ain and its religion.

And so Kain divided his empire into the territories of people and vampires, separating it with a wall. Six brothers kept watch over people and were also responsible for various branches of their empire. Because of this, people were forced to treat them as gods who were responsible for various aspects of existence.

In the early period, when people led an organic lifestyle, they had three cults. The cult of the three younger brothers, the cult of the three older brothers and the cult of Kain ain himself. Next is the history of the development of the empire and the cults themselves.

There were three large cults. The cult of the younger brothers, the cult of the older brothers and the cult of Kain. At an early stage, these were shepherds over a flock of people. With the passage of time, the shepherds acquired divine status, which over time played a cruel joke. The brothers, as gods, were assigned roles and responsibilities. As a result, people revered some brothers more than others, ignoring the hierarchy within the cult.

Such inequality fueled unrest within the brothers themselves. Which inevitably led to an internal struggle for power. While Raziel was alive, he tried to contain this conflict by participating in the affairs of the people and teaching them to love all brothers equally. However, his efforts yielded completely different results. After Raziel went into hibernation for two hundred years, he himself was recognized as part of the cult of Kain. Thus, excluding the deity from the cult of the elders, adding him as a descendant of a single one. Making the rest of the gods just creatures and not heirs of the empire.

This event led to a hundred years of war not only between humans but also between brothers. The bridges that towered over the lake of the dead were destroyed, leaving only one, in the sanctuary of the clans. As the war progressed, the brothers' roles constantly shifted. Raziel himself, with the blessing of his master, for his services to the empire, slept inside the sanctuary of the clans. Two hundred years later, Kain returned to the war-torn empire and executed his first son. He also gave complete independence to the clans and left the empire.

After the execution of Raziel and the departure of Kain, the biggest changes happened. Having destroyed part of the Raziel clan, the older brothers realized that they were in the minority. To maintain control over the humans in the coming war, they included themselves as part of the cult of Kain and his empire. The younger brothers were still his creations, but not part of his legacy. Which led to a thousand-year war of attrition. As a result, the younger brothers emerged victorious. The kingdoms of men that worshiped Kain were destroyed. However, the younger brothers were also rapidly losing their status as gods among people. However, their tactic was to increase diplomatic relations with new kingdoms. Thus, by the end of the first soul reaver, the remnants of the cults were small sects with a bunch of crazy fanatics.

Now about the alternative plot.

The beginning of this branch starts from the ending of the first soul reaver , where the Hylden device scattered Raziel and Kain in time. Kain found himself in the era of ancient vampires and Raziel in Nosgoth who was enslaved by the Hylden.

I'll start with Raziel. Once in the future, he sees that Nosgoth has turned into a pile of asteroids surrounded by storms that hover in the form of several rings, between which there are large buildings resembling cities. Also between the asteroids there are magnetic green rays that maintain stability between objects. There are also glyphs resembling seals hanging between them. The asteroids themselves are also populated, many of them are huge in size and some of the old buildings have been converted for new needs. The architecture of the new owners also had different designs. Somewhere these were black monoliths with a green glow. Other buildings resembled piles of flesh, which were given a square shape. Some of the flesh grew into the surroundings or grew between the buildings like vines. Moreover, some buildings had protective fields.

Plot.

First, Raziel will find himself on a huge piece of the continent, where the sanctuary of the clans is located. He also did not feel the presence of an elder god who could help him with advice. After exploring the ruins, he will encounter Vorador, who will first test his combat skills. Having made sure that Raziel is useful, he will invite him to join the resistance and will further initiate him into the history of this world, as well as ancient vampires. During his travels, Raziel will have to visit the distorted Avenus Cathedral, in which the Hylden are holding the evolved, mindless Turel captive, and finish him off. He also learns that there are Hylden who became vampires and joined the resistance. In addition, he will meet the mysterious seer hylden, who has become a vampire and learns that Mobius is still alive. Raziel's main conflict will be deciding whether to help the resistance or find Mobius and go back in time to set things right.

The conflict between Vorador and the seer.

Basically, these characters pursue common goals, although they have different points of view on what is happening. Vodor clarifies to Raziel the history of the ancient vampires and also the role of Kain in all this. Vorador acts as Kain's mentor and also calls him his protégé. Unlike Kain, Vorador has much greater access to a time machine. He, like Kain, is a traveler between eras. However, he had differences with Kain. Therefore, he allowed him to build his empire and sealed away some of his offspring so that they would play a key role in the events to come. Vorador urges Raziel not to try to kill Kain, since he is part of Nosgoth's unified destiny. Hearing the name Janos Audron from Raziel, Vorador only reports that this is one of the great ancients who is no longer alive.

The Seer agrees that Kain is very important to the flow of fate, but suggests finding Janos Audron for clearer answers. For which the main goal is to search for Mobius, as the most experienced time traveler.

About ancient prophecies and the history of vampires. There are several differences from the original. First of all, most people don't see the connection between the blue-skinned winged creatures and the vampires they encounter. Secondly, the ancients were very similar to the Seraphan order. Therefore, the human order portrayed them as angels and adopted a similar style. Plus, the citadel of ancient vampires was built for people and human vampires reigned there, not ancient ones. The uprising of the keepers of the balance happened against the new vampires, whom they mistook for the ancients. The Guardians appropriated the style of the old masters of the fortress and established a new rule, completely ignoring the history of the vampires. Which was confirmed to Raziel by Vorador and the seer.

In search of Mobius.

The world of Hylden finally absorbed Nosgoth, mixing the peoples and subordinating them to the new government. This power was the supreme Hylden overlord , who had absolute control over all his servants. Before he came to power, the Hylden had already tried to enslave Nosgoth, but it was an Alliance of different nations that the ancient vampires had once driven out. These peoples were united by a single system, which prevented their souls from completely dissolving and brought them back to life. This system was called Hylden. This Hylden system gave conditional immortality to those who were connected to it. But the new ruler was able to completely subjugate this network, turning the Alliance into powerless slaves. The goal of the resistance was to destroy the ruler and free his slaves, hoping for peaceful coexistence. Of which Raziel was not sure. However, he blamed himself for not helping the descendants of Vorador in their pursuit of Kain. Using Hylden’s device, he may have created this future with his own hands.

In search of Mobius, Raziel increasingly doubted his new allies; he had already begun to miss his former master, who, with his advice, instilled at least some confidence in what was happening. He had to help both the rebels and the seer. Which ultimately brought results. After freeing some Hylden engineers from captivity, he heard the history of their people. Which opened up for him from a new side.

Later history of Hylden.

A small digression, I will not describe all the details of how Raziel was able to study it. Sources should be different characters and places. It won't be limited to just engineers .

Firstly, Hylden is the name of the network that unites the souls of creatures, preventing them from completely dying. The people themselves were once an Alliance of different types of creatures that opposed the ancient vampires and their wheel of fate. When the vampires erected the pillars of Nosgoth, they cut off this network from their world and transferred it to another dimension. All beings whose souls were connected to this system were torn out of their bodies and transferred to this dimension.

This event completely changed society. From conditionally immortal, the Hylden turned into soul eaters. They captured the bodies of local aborigines and, with the help of their techno-magic, were able to rebuild cities in a new place and grow new bodies for themselves. The world in which they lived was almost devoid of habitual life and resembled drifting rocks in the flow of a whirlwind. However, despite the conditions, technoholic experience and knowledge of biology helped the Hyldens to master the new place. From now on they were no longer alive or dead. Their society was also divided into castes, and over time, subspecies appeared. It all resembled a distorted version of the old alliance. Over time, they were able to open corridors to Nosgoth and send their agents, many of whom looked more like demons than intelligent beings.

Having found out the situation with Nosgoth, the Hylden began to prepare the world for their return. Many castes pre-divided territories as well as creatures that would be used as raw materials. For the invasion, the Supreme Council of the castes created a special military council that united everyone. At the top of which stood the highest members as well as the general who led the invasion of Nosgoth. However, their plans were destroyed not only by external forces, but also by internal strife. The council deliberately constrained the general's actions so that he would not gain too much power. Which ultimately played a key role in the death of their society.

Late in the invasion of Nosgoth, the Hylden began to practice mind melds to create superior entities that could control their society. The general was one of these creatures; he created a special network for himself, with the help of which he could mentally control his servants. This really scared the council. When the war was almost over, the Supreme Council, fearing a new war, secretly began to establish a new network that could control creatures, subordinating them to the will of the council . At the same time, the supreme members of the council were united by their own network, on behalf of which one creature controlled by them was supposed to speak. However, the marionette betrayed the council and personally seized most of the entire network, subjugating almost their entire species to her will.

As a result of this event, the remaining creatures went deep underground. These were both members of the upper castes, whose consciousness turned out to be quite strong, and experimental creatures and mutants who had previously been prisoners of the old masters. Part of the caste that was considered a demon in Nosgoth also survived, but it could do little to oppose the technical development of the new hosts.

It was then that the resistance had the idea to contact the vampires of Nosgoth to repel such a large-scale threat. They were able to contact some of the descendants of Vorador, who were already studying the Hylden culture and trying to contact them. But their enemy took advantage of this. Having intercepted the channel, he entered into an alliance with these vampires. He promised them a new type of immortality and an alliance in exchange for help in opening the passage to Nosgoth. Hylden overlord did not seek to enslave new allies until he could conquer Nosgoth. These vampires became known as Hylden worshipers.

By that time there were very few rebels left. Unexpectedly for them, Vorador himself came to the rescue from a temporary portal, with some of his allies. Among them were hybrids of the ancient Hylden and vampires, led by a seer. They offered their help, but it was necessary to move to a time when Nosgoth and the world of Hylden merged. Only there will they have enough strength to overthrow the new ruler.

The puppeteer.

In search of Mobius, Raziel will find his sanctuary, as well as several broken rooms for time travel. However, there was a time travel device that could be used without these rooms. Parts of which were in the ruins of these sanctuaries. The goal of the search will be to assemble a device that will move Raziel back to the past. In the end, he will miss one part that is located at Mobius himself. At this point, Vorador will inform him that they have found a way to get into the lord's sanctuary, which will require a device that Raziel has been collecting all this time.

Having moved to his chambers, Raziel was waiting for a terrible revelation. The master of their main enemies was none other than Mobius himself. Or what was left of him.

A long time ago, even before the fall of the pillars, Mobius doubted the power of the wheel of fate. Secretly, he began communicating with the Hyldens, who promised him freedom and power in exchange for help with their release. When the pillars were destroyed, Mobius as a time traveler was very useful, eventually becoming one of the supreme members of the Hylden Council. After the defeat in the war, he personally took the blame and offered the Supreme Council to use his body as a puppet, as payback for his mistakes during the war. The council accepted his offer, but he did not know that Mobius was using the nexus stone, which was used to close the passage to Nosgoth. Mobius found it and used it to switch the streams of the shared network under his control. Thus his consciousness and the supreme council merged together, creating a new being. With the power of the council and the ability to see through time, Mobius quickly seized control of the entire Hilden Civilization, subjugating them to a single consciousness.

Mobius told Raziel all this as a winner in a big game. Explaining to him about his influence on the brotherhood of Seraphan and the creation of a false religion within the circle of nine. And also mocking Raziel's contradictory role and his goals that argue with his own beliefs. Making the main emphasis on the fact that he still sees the future and knows his every step.

The only chance to destroy Mobius was the device he created. It protected Raziel from his attacks and some of his magic. Mobius himself flew along a spherical structure in the center of the universe and sent destructive charges of rays and walls of magic. Having closed part of the system, Raziel was able to hit him with the help of the soul reaver. However, the victory turned into a defeat. Before his death, Mobius warned that the whole world would die with him. Since they are connected together. Through a mental connection, Vorador and the seer suggest to Raziel that the last part of the device is inside Mobius himself. After that, they disappear into the temporary portal. Raziel manages to assemble and use the device before the universe was destroyed. After passing through the time vortex, he finds himself in a familiar room and hears the voice of Mobius, who greets him calling him the redeemer and destroyer.

Afterword. It is quite difficult to describe everything that could happen in this period of time. Raziel had armor with live chains, and also found new upgrades. The style would be a mixture of shifter and blood omen 2. A huge part was given to the action as well as the internal conflict of the character. A lot came down to his description as well as telepathic dialogues with other allies. Raziel 's main goal was to understand the correctness of his judgments as well as the history of his order . Which influenced his formation as a human.

End of the third part.

Describing every single fricking SCP Object Class

Aether: Some people claim it exists. If you find out it does, then you'll put it in a box.

Aicalë: You put it in a box, with the knowledge that it’s not staying there. Ain: You put it in a box. Eventually it will cause the end of the world.

Ain-Soph-Aur: You don’t put it in a box. It manages itself, and the continued existence of normal humans that don’t need to be put in boxes. Aisna: It makes more stuff that you might need to put in boxes. But you can use it. And it might be part god.

Boltzmann: You cannot put it in a box. Which is good, since it's necessary for your continued existence.

Cartel: You were going to put it into a box, but then your managers (Regional and Overwatch Command) told you to make it Uncontained instead (see below). Cernunnos: You could theoretically put it in a box, but you don't have the ability to do so right now.

Contained: You put it in a box. Which is all you'd THINK it would mean, but *nooooo* it's one of THOSE ones-

Containment: You put it in a box, then train it to put stuff in boxes. Then it goes AWOL. Continua: You put it in a box, but part of it's missing, so you're not sure if the box is actually working.

Cor: You put it in a box, then actively do everything in your power to avoid thinking about what it is and does, to the point that you change its Object Class to something meaningless. Da'as Elyon: Identical to Conscientia, except somehow Jewish.

Daath: Instead of putting it in a box you let it wander around parts of your workplace.

Dagdagiel: CHEER UP SLEEEEEEEPY JEEEEEEEEAAAAAAN

Damballah: It's in a box, but you aren't sure how or why.

Dark Keter: You cannot put it in a box or destroy it. The file for this likely came from an untrustworthy source.

[DATA EXPUNGED]: You put it in a box (maybe). The exact details are something you don’t have the clearance for.

Debated: Whether or not it actually needs to go in a box (and how or why) is currently under dispute.

Decidium: You use it to destroy other stuff. Also it might be a god? And you might worship it? But like, also while keeping it in a box?

Dependent: You put it in a box, and everything's fine, but you also have a legal and/or moral obligation to maintain it.

Dishwasher: sighs Let’s put a pin in that for now, please.

Downy: You put it in a box. Duck-related things occur.

Draugr: It itself doesn't need a box (maybe it's destroyed) but weird box-worthy stuff keeps happening and it's responsible somehow.

Drygioni: Your bosses are looking into it.

Echelon: It (and likely the box you have put it in) is currently you and your organization’s highest priority. In theory. This Object Class has never actually been used in practice, if any documents have it you can probably ignore them as being altered by something that should be in a box.

Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy: Ecophagy:… 

Efla: You or one of your coworkers made the dang thing.

Ein Sof: You put it in a box designed to keep it exactly the way it is. And this was intentionally designed, by a god, maybe.

Ellipsis: You have a box. There is nothing in the box worth talking about or otherwise referring to. Trust me, it’s *really* not worth it.

Embla: You put it in a box, then use it to create more stuff that can be put in boxes.

Endeminis: It's technically part of the way your job functions, so instead of putting it in a box you just kind of keep track of it.

Enochian: You can't really put it in a box on account of it being a fundamental part of reality.

Entos: You wrote a file on it. The file is the box.

Eparch: You put it in a box, not because it needs to be in a box, but because it's connected to other stuff that might need to be in a box.

ERROR: Something’s wrong with your file. Check to make sure you entered the URL correctly.

Esoteric: Er, wait, that's what I'm already listing, can't you be more specific? The people who came up with all these other terms certainly didn't seem to have any trouble. Ether: Same meaning as Aether. It's been thousands of years and humans still can't agree how this word is spelled.

Ethical: You put it in a box. Then you let the Ethics Committee handle it. LET THEM HANDLE IT.

Exist: It’s everything, so you can’t put it in a box. Hopefully.

Finis: Nothing will need to be put in boxes anymore, which means you will no longer need boxes. (Well, like, you still need them NOW, we'll get there when we get there)

Flor Galana: It partially puts itself and other stuff in boxes, but you can't completely put it in a box.

Former: Regardless of whether or not you are trying to put it into a box, you and others will be memetically compelled to claim that it was something previously (the claims themselves are what matter here, regardless of whether it was and/or still is what is being claimed).

Foundation: It almost doesn’t need to be put into a box.

F***: Either you or someone else put something in a box (or tried to) and now circumstances have caused you to throw aside decorum and professionalism while filling the report.

Galileo: You can’t put it into a box… but you CAN destroy it!

Gevurah: It hurts the infrastructure of your job, and impedes various stuff your job is trying to do.

GOD: Calm down and check to see if there are any other versions of the file for it.

Gleipnir: You keep needing to put it in different types of boxes.

Glorious: Identical to Beautiful, except instead of putting it in a box you wear it on your head.

Gӧdel: It WOULD be Explained, but you need other things in boxes to explain it.

Hazardous: I thought this applied to all of these? Uh. It hurty, no touchy.

HANDLE_NOT_FOUND: Essentially the same as ERROR. Though you might want to read whatever file comes up VERY carefully.

Hariti: It’s one of your coworkers which means (at least in this instance) that it doesn’t need to go in a box.

Hera: It really doesn’t like you. But if you can, you will put it in a box and use it.

Hiemal: You put it in a box. Then you looked closer and realized it was multiple things keeping each other in boxes.

Hod: Instead of getting a new job, why not get your old one, but different? …Using a process kept in a box.

Ignosi: You cannot put it in a box because you don’t know it exists. In fact, nobody can know it exists. (wait, how does that work, if nobody knows they exist why is there a classification for them? did they like make it under the assumption that SOMETHING fit the criteria? like i know it’s for the readers’ benefit but all of this exists in universe right? or is this another “there is no canon” thing? goshdangit)

In Doubt: You put it in a box, and you would use one of the three main Object Classes (Safe, Euclid, Keter) but you can’t use the letter E for some reason.

Infohazardous Predator: Exactly what it says on the tin. You need to put it in a box.

Inimical: You put it in a box. In doing so you make it worse. Destroy it ASAP.

Instrumentum: You put it in a box, and then you and your organization (which, as you might have gathered, specializes in putting stuff in boxes) put it to use. So basically it’s Prodest but better. We’ll get to Prodest. Oh, we’ll GET to Prodest.

Integrated: You put it in a box. The box is called “being part of the company that puts stuff in boxes”. Also possibly therapy.

Irrelevant: You might be able to put it in a box but trust me when I say you don’t need to worry about it. Probably.

Israfil: You put it in a box. Then- wait, it’s what? Due to what? Okay so the thing it it’s… umm… sigh just look up Action 10-Israfil-A, it’s a result of that.

Interferelessed: In order to keep it in a box, you and everyone else at your job must have access to at least a partial file on it at all times.

Jerusalem: Regardless of if it’s in a box or not, you can go see it at any time. Something about this feels ironic.

Joke: You put it in a box. Exact details beyond that are extremely context-specific, so treat with caution.

Juggernaut: You put it in a box. It can cause the end of the world. Yes I know that applies to like everything, I didn’t make this object class!

Karl June: You put it in a box, because it is under the effects of SCP-6727.

Khonsu: You put it in a box and now you’re studying the heck out of it before it stops being something you can study.

Kronecker: In theory, it means that you don’t need to put it in a box. In practice, however, this only applies to one specific example, every other SCP labeled Kronecker has been altered from its original (more accurate) classification.

Kušum: You’ve given up for now on trying to put it in a box.

Legally Uncontainable: You cannot legally put it in a box, either due to your own governing authority or another. Or a… fast spreading burger company?

Maksur: You’ve separated it into parts, and put those parts into different boxes.

Malchut: Identical to Keter, and used in scenarios when using Keter outright isn’t an option. Not to be confused with Malkuth.

Malkuth: Advanced Non-Humans are putting it in a box. Hopefully. Not to be confused with Malchut (seriously, why do they DO this???)

Megiddo: Basically the same thing as Apollyon except the whole Doom thing has already happened.

Memet: It’s keeping itself in its own box.

Mendax: You put it in a box. Then determining exactly what occurs next is tricky as it alters information about itself. As such, this Classification doesn’t really get used. Not to be confused with Mendax. Mendax: Identical to Enochian, except you have to monitor it carefully because it’s still capable of causing the apocalypse. Not to be confused with Mendax. (If it helps, this one is originally written in the Cyrillic Alphabet as opposed to the Latin one.)

Moiety: You put it in a box. The United Kingdom depends on this.

Multiple: You put it in a box. There are differing reactions from different parts of it at differing times, so you’re gonna need to go into greater detail over which parts qualify as which Object Class.

Multiplex: You put multiple things in multiple boxes, but if you’re gonna go into detail about one of them you have to talk about ALL of them.

Mumar: You put it in a box. You cannot tell your bosses about it.

Mushrik: I’ve read this file like 5 times and I have NO idea what makes this SCP worthy of a unique Object Class, or what this Object Class is even supposed to indicate. I don’t understand.

Mutually Dependent: You put it in a box. It’s actually multiple things that, if separated, would no longer need to be in a box.

N/A: No, I am NOT going to describe even more weird exceptions than I already am! If it doesn’t have an Object Class, it doesn’t have an Object Class. MOVING ON!

Nagi: You put it in a box, but then it stopped needing to be in a box. You’re keeping it in the box anyway, just in case.

Necrospar: There’s no evidence it exists. But if it does, you’ll put it in a box.

Nehemoth: Instead of putting it into a box, you do your best to destroy it due to it being your enemy. …This isn’t one that the Foundation actually uses.

Nepenthe: ‘CAUSE WE COULD BE IMMORTALS, IMMO-ORTALS… 

Netzach: You put it in a box, if necessary. It’s used to ensure the indefinite survival of the human race. Technically it’s more complicated than that and I wish people would stop turning planets into SCPs.

Nightfall_Meteor: No need to put it in a box, just observe. It’s capable of causing an apocalypse, but such an effect won’t last long so just make sure you’re prepared for it.

Non-Anomalous: You don’t need to put it in a box. Well, unless you’re trying to protect it from all the stuff around it that DOES need to put in boxes.

None: Oh for crying out loud what did I just say in the N/A section?

Null: You cannot put it in a box because it cannot exist, so don’t view it as something that exists.

Oblique: You might have put it in a box, it’s hard to tell right now since the general narrative structure that the SCP Foundation usually operates on is being altered.

Ogiel: You currently cannot put it in a box, and no efforts will be made now or in the future to put it in a box. Instead you’re just going to guard it and watch it to ensure nothing changes about it.

Olympus: You aren’t putting it in a box, because only your bosses know it exists. Assuming this Object Class actually exists in this reality.

Omnehet: Identical to Nehemoth, just run through the same infohazard that produced the latter.

Other: You put it in a box, and selected its Object Class from a drop-down menu.

Pagnum: It put itself in its own box. So now you’re watching to make sure that the box is satisfactory.

Pantokratōr: You can’t put it in a box because it’s too big. Guess you’ll have to wait until the next Smash Bros game, sorry.

Pausa: You’re no longer trying to keep it in a box because it doesn’t need to be in one, but it might need to be put in a box again in the future.

Petrus: You can’t prove it needs to be in a box, but you’re putting it in a box anyway because it’s too risky not to.

Principalis: You don’t put it in a box because you don’t know it exists. Your bosses do, though, and it’s their mission statement.

Prodest: You put it in a box. It’s useful. (WHY IS THIS AN OBJECT CLASS? NONE OF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH CONTAINMENT?? SO WHAT IF IT’S USEFUL, IS THE FOUNDATION EVEN USING IT??? LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE OBJECT CLASS HAS GREATER REASON TO EXIST THAN THIS DOES. SCREW YOU PRODEST, YOU’RE THE WORST.)

Pudicitia: You put it in a box. While doing so you ended up hurting, damaging, or otherwise negatively affecting it. So now you’re helping it get better.

Radix: You put it in a box. Now it’s part of the chain of command.

[REDACTED]: Essentially the same as [DATA EXPUNGED]. Like. Obviously they’re different terms. But effectively they have the same result on what you’re able to do about it.

Rigoletto: It may or may not be difficult for you to put it in a box and keep it there. Depends on how people feel about it.

Robertson-Jackal: You put it in a box, and everything about that box is randomly generated (including the Object Class) to prevent its escape.

Saoshyant: You don’t put it in a box because it acts as your organization’s Patron Deity. Though considering the lore there might be multiple contenders for the title at this point.

Sapientia: Identical to Chhokmah, except not Jewish.

See Below: You attempted to put it in a box and what happened was pretty complicated so you’re just gonna talk about it in the bulk portion of the file for it. Somehow I can’t tell if this is better or worse than a lot of the other ones on this list.

Semel: Technically speaking this one doesn’t actually mean anything.

Sfae: You put it in a box, accompanied by a person or persons (possibly you) that must also stay in the box.

“Shadow’s Crown” Phenomenon: Fancy way of saying Thaumiel while avoiding certain effects.

Shrӧdinger: You put it in a box. In order to keep it in the box, you must record everything about it and connected to it. I can’t tell if this is funny or fitting.

Sistema: You put it in a box, but it’s made of a lot of smaller things, so putting it in a box will only work if all the things are together.

Simpatico: You have NO idea what is up with this thing or how to put it in a box, but it’s probably fine.

Skӧll: You put it in a box. Soon it will no longer need to be in a box. That, or it’s going to cause a lot of stuff (including itself) to escape their boxes with no end in sight. Or both!

Skótos: You put it in a box. You still don’t know a significant amount of things about it and how it works, but hey, at least it’s in a box!

Sofa: Analogous to Keter, approximately.

Spiritual: You can’t put it in a box because it transcends- okay, you know what NO. Stop with the metaphysical bullcrap we already have more specific Object Classes for all of this. And you, 4487, can shut up and die.

Spiteful Motherf*****: You put it in a box. It makes you really, REALLY angry at it.

Standard: The same thing as Safe, except it’s a robot who put it in a box and classified it.

Starveling: The Department of Surrealistics is probably on drugs.

Sunrays, Muted: Despite being sandwiched between Starveling and Super Keter, this one actually kinda makes sense in context.

Super Keter: You put it in a box while at Site-333. It probably still fits the definition of a “regular” Keter. Not that you’ll have any luck telling Site-333 that.

Symbolic: You only figuratively put it in a box. Also sorry did I say the Surrealistics Department was probably on drugs? I meant definitely.

TBD: Identical to Pending or Debated, but apparently used when ALL pertinent info is to be determined at a later time. Or to put it another way, you’re still in the process of putting it in a box, but you won’t be able to make any progress in that until later due to a complete lack of info.

Tempus: You put it in a box, but it messes with time, so you need to ensure that it has ALWAYS been in a box.

Tenebrarius: You cannot put it in a box because you are not allowed to know it exists. The same applies to your coworkers and bosses. Just you guys though, other people can learn about it.

Terminal: You put it in a box. You die. Now you’re in the box too.

Test: Doesn’t need to be put in a box as it doesn’t exist. This Object Class is reserved for dummy files used by bot testers.

the simpsons farting: I hope you guys understand how much making this list has broken me.

Thorleyan: You put two separate-but-identical things in identical boxes and ensure that they both stay identical and that they are aware that they are still identical.

Tiamat: It could become a huge threat to humanity. Buuuuut you can put it in a “box” by telling the world about all the other stuff you’ve put in boxes. No way that would go wrong.

Ticonderoga: You can’t put it in a box, but it doesn’t have to be put in a box.

Tiphereth: You put it in a box with something, and in order to keep it in the box you must routinely swap the other thing for another thing identical to the previous thing without it noticing.

Umbra: You may or may not be able to put it in a box. It has a direct effect on the appearance of other stuff that you’ll want to put in boxes.

Unclassed: You put it in a box (or at least attempt to), then deliberately avoid classifying it by the results.

Unconfirmed: Didn’t we already do this song and dance with Necrospar?

Uncontainable: Surprise surprise, you cannot put it in a box.

Uncontained: It is currently not in a box.

Undefined: You put it in a box, and you know how well that went down. You just can’t actually refer to it in any way for some reason, so you use this placeholder Object Class instead.

Unknown: Neither you or anyone else seems to know what is up with this, or how to put it in a box. But it probably needs one.

Urgent Reclassification Required: Another placeholder. Kind of exactly what it says. Don’t you wish they were ALL clear like this sometimes?

Uya: You can’t put it in a box YET because you haven’t found it, but you’re pretty sure if it doesn’t already exist it will eventually.

Yesod: Identical to Radix, but Jewish. I swear the SCP Foundation doesn’t have some weird antisemitic segregation going on, they just have so many Skips connected to Judaism that they have to clarify sometimes.

Youklid: Identical to Euclid, but you can’t document it properly so you have to verbalize it to a child to fill out the forms. Be very careful about these ones, they don’t usually end well.

World Ending?: You’re preparing to try and put it in a box, and you think it might be capable of, well, ending the world. Kind of a Placeholder Classification, not a real one. Pending before Pending for what might be really bad stuff.

Zeno: It took you a bit of effort to put it in a box, but it was never that much of a threat.

Zenzizenzizenzic: Remember what I said about the Surrealistics Department? If you see this Object Class, you are probably currently on their drugs. This applies to the Dishwasher Class too.

Zurvan: Similar to Enochian, except that it’s less that you *can’t* put it in a box because it’s a fundamental part of reality, and more that you shouldn’t.

53: You attempt to put it in a box, but this is difficult due to being unable to to gain much information about it, as well as the fact that it is actively trying to have an effect on you and your organization, among others. This may include trying to put you in a box.

Ѻмѐга-Титло: You put it in a box. You know it will inevitably escape the box, so you’ve constructed a convoluted pseudo-religion to manipulate the probability of its escape at any given moment to be later rather than sooner, in the hopes that you will be able to procrastinate said escape into never happening.

SubclassesNO I am NOT doing all the subclasses right now. I might do them if this is well received after I publish this online, but only after doing the Risk Classes and Disruption Classes first. Those seem more relevant as of late.

Now, the Fun Part:

WHICH ONE DID I MAKE UP?

[eretzyisrael]

BY ROBERT SATLOFF

The 1973 Arab-Israeli war may be known to Jews as the Yom Kippur War, but it is widely known in the Arab world as “Harb Ramadan” — the Ramadan War — given that Anwar Sadat dispatched Egyptian forces to cross the Suez Canal during the holy month. But it is only a relatively recent example of Arab or Muslim armies waging war during this month. 

The Saudi newspaper Arab News provided a helpful primer on the topic in 2014: “While much literature has been written on Islamic conquests focusing on strategy, many victories occurred during Ramadan due to the focus of the Ummah on Allah Almighty and this removed fear from the hearts of the Muslims. This is why some of the greatest victories in Islam occurred during Ramadan …”

Starting with the seminal battle of Badr in Year 2 on the Islamic hijri calendar, corresponding to the year 624 A.D., the list of historic victories in Ramadan cited in this article includes “the conquest of Makkah (8 Hijri), the conquest of Rhodes (53 Hijri), the successful landing of Muslims on the coast of Spain (91 Hijri), the victory by Tarik Ibn Zayed against the King of Spain (92 Hijri), the victory of Salahuddin against invading crusaders (584 Hijri), and Mamluk’s victory versus invading Tatars in the battle of Ain Jiloot (650 Hijri).”

More recently, take a look at the bloodthirsty Ramadan record of the Islamic State. As a Washington Post reporter noted, a spokesman for the terrorist group exhorted followers in 2016 “to make it a month of calamity everywhere for nonbelievers” — and indeed they did, with gruesome Ramadan attacks against civilians from Kuwait to Syria to France to a nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

And, as my Washington Institute colleague Patrick Clawson pointed out in 2004, naive non-Muslim governments have been disappointed when they appealed to their Muslim foes for ceasefires during Ramadan: “Modern proposals for Ramadan ceasefires by secular governments — the Soviets in Afghanistan, Saddam Hussein when fighting the Islamic Republic of Iran — were uniformly rejected by the Islamist side, which usually intensified fighting during Ramadan.”
