This is a place where you can post your crazy and unusual headcanon about the SCP-verse. Please, feel free to express your theories and odd headcanon.

Myself, I'd like to start this thread with something a little more sinister. Most of us here are familiar with SCP-579, and most of us know it as the "half-assed SCP with it's entire description expunged". I thought so too, at first. While others might just downvote or scoff at it and be on there way, I had decided to take a second look at this SCP. First time I had read 579 was, maybe 2 months or so ago, maybe less. Then, I came back and really read into it... and found some unsettling parallels.

First, we have to take into consideration that 579's containment procedures aren't entirely true. I mean, the entire description has already been expunged, and it's not unlike the Foundation to falsify its containment procedures, it wouldn't be the first time they did it. But there are bits and pieces left to put together the puzzle.

The key words were:
* "state of suspension"
* "Point of origin"
* "instruments"

That was the most important one: "instruments".
I asked myself, "Why, of all the words they could've chosen to describe them, did they use 'instruments' ? Why not 'devices', or something more... professional?"

Then it hit me.

Between my first and second reading of 579's article, I'd been reading stuff. And I came across as to what 579 is, at least in my headcanon.
The Engine of Evil, the Demon Sultan, the Blind Idiot God, the All-Powerful; Azathoth.
Azathoth, in Lovecraftian lore, is an Outer God (beings infinitely more powerful than a Great Old One like Cthulhu) who is said to have been sealed by, guess what, an ensemble. Mostly drummers, but an ensemble nonetheless. This ensemble keeps it in an eternal slumber.

Like all Outer Gods and Great Old Ones, those who look at Azathoth are in danger of going insane or even dying.

In addition, Azathoth is an all-powerful (but not all-knowing) being that, if awoken, will destroy the mortal universe.

Even more worrying, according to the notes, 579's "point of origin" was destroyed while trying to terminate/re-contain the damn thing. Azathoth's original "containment" was the center of the universe.

Short version?
"State of suspension"=Sleeping for all of eternity
"instruments"=an actual ensemble
"In the event of an unsuccessful Action 10-Israfil-B, no further action will be necessary."=Goodbye universe
"Expunged description"=Safety for the new recruits, because maybe even knowing of Azathoth's existence may drive them insane, or kill them.

So, in my personal headcanon, SCP-579 is Azathoth, or at least the SCP-verse's of the thing.

And that's my crazy theory. You guys have any? Post 'em below, I'd love to hear.

In my head, I like to think that SCP-682 was made against the rest of all life on Earth. Don't know about anyone else, but I find the factors of 682 to be a bit questionable. Hatred of all life for who knows why, able to repair itself, would pretty much destroy everything without a second thought (save 053). All of these things make me think that 682 is more than just a random scip that just kills because it hates us. Maybe it kills us because it was made to by someone or something to hate us without any second thought and kill without any form of mercy whatsoever while being unable to be stopped... but that's just me being an idiot.

One of these days, I should talk to Dr. Gears about 682....

In my head, SCP-914 was made by someone, or possibly many people, with the intent of creating the perfect machine, the perfect improver and downgrader. A machine that would be able to convert objects into better, worse, or equal versions of themselves. After finally completing it, though, it didn't work as perfectly as they expected. He/they tried to find what was missing, but to no avail. He/they scrapped the project. Some time later, someone came across 914. He tried putting an object through it, possibly a machine part, on Very Fine. Though 914 didn't work perfectly, it worked well enough to create the one part it was missing. The man didn't even have to put it in the right place. Once he held it close to 914, the piece just went into it like a magnet, burying itself deep within the gears where no one could find it. The Foundation recovered it soon after.

Speaking of 914, anybody hear ever read Clockwork Time?

Yeah, I have. Fantastic Tale.

To me, SCP-106 is a human in 2 dimensions who can phase out into the other. He was made this as a child, so in 1 dimension his body aged, but his mind didn't. That explains his playing with victims. In this other dimension, the laws of physics could be completely different, as in, living organisms excrete a substance similar to 035's acid and of course, 106's tar shit.

173 is sentient and just wishes people would leave it alone. It wants to be COMPLETELY alone, so it stops the obstacles from seeing it. It doesn't feel empathy or sympathy for humans, seeing them as just bad things, but can think. Like an autistic child.

Holy shit. That pic...

I like to imagine that SCP-173 is alive, and much more capable then we assume. And that he can do a lot more than just snap necks and remain immobile but just doesn't for whatever reason. That's why 682 was so afraid of it, because he knows what it's capable of.

One of my favorite experiments regarding him is when a picture was taken with SCP-978 and the picture was 173 in the exact same location, because he is exactly where he wants to be, doing exactly what he wants to be doing.

I always thought that 579 was some sort of Eldritch horror that got stronger the more details a person knows about. It's horrifying because every time it moves, it partially shatters reality where it just was. That's why they keep it in place using the instruments, as well as why as little as 0.2% deviation is enough to lock down a whole site. They can't hold it if reality isn't there to realize that it should be held. Action-10-Israfil-B is used if it gets out because if something that shatters reality gets into a place where the space-time continuum is seemingly focused enmass...You get the idea. Not to mention all of the other things in SCP-004...Perhaps 004 is a jail for extremely powerful reality destroying/effecting monsters, which balances out the reality destroying effects by enmassing reality into 004. SCP-004-7-A (the large room thing), used to be 579's jail cell, and he wants to bust out his brothers. That's rather terrifying.
