Peppy: Really? Sorry, I got distracted, I guess. Kids, pay close attention. I’ll teach you how to make candles out of whoever you find lying around!

Yes, I wanted to ask. You know, ████████ █████ died recently. [audience sighs, sadly] How has it affected you? Whether it pertains a mysterious dark staircase which descends to physically impossible depths or a benign figure who offers a last cigarette to the ones who have been left alone on their deathbed, the foundation must document, study, secure, contain these strange phenomenons. SCP-3464 - Olive Garden regularly communes with DEMONIC ENTITIES to summon their SATANIC sempiternal garlic bread I’ve taken to reading more and more Asian light novels as I love the slice of life nature they have to their narratives. Following a character as they explore a new world is what I want to do for the rest of my life (since being an explorer isn’t really an option nowadays). Star Focus: Find your night spot and begin to focus on your star. [ Prologue, Section 3: “Star Focus Calendar”: “April ██: Epsilon Sagittarii. If you can’t find it in your star chart, it’s the base of the hunter’s bow and the brightest star in the constellation.”] As you stare up into it, use your mind-clearing word. Your meditation is: “████, ████. Now is our time. Here is our space. We take your star. We hold your bonds. Repay your debt. ████, ████, ████.” Don’t worry about memorization; any time you use your mind-clearing word, you’ll remember them, even if you only read them once. If you do it right, your star will disappear. You’ll feel it resonating with the others in your void.

With the best-selling novel Star Signals, sold in four countries and translated into hundreds of languages, you too can tune in to the celestial frequencies, and then become like the stars! This is good. It’s a blank slot waiting for you to fill it up with your deepest desire until your deepest desire is pushing up into your throat. You will gag on your need. And until you do, it is a resonation space, for you to build your will like organ music in a cathedral. Hear the music now. This is not a metaphor. If your will is strong enough, there will be music now. Remember now that nothing in this book is a metaphor. I have mixed feelings about this book. I love the SCP Foundation, but I feel like the setting was horribly underutilized. The events of the book take place before and during the SCP-1048 incident, but it's completely glossed over. I think that could have made for a good overarching plot. In early chapters, these exercises are focused on two things: the exact goals that the reader has in mind, and the concentration on certain stars in the sky. This activity is connected to the titular “star signals”: SCP-1425 claims that the light emitted by stars carries a “phenomenological frequency”, which is unique to each star and which is connected to the “phenomenological frequency” of each human’s mind. Each of the book’s ten chapters ends with a “Star Focus” ritual: this is a meditation performed each night, with the central focus being a celestial body. The celestial body used is determined by a calendar given in the prologue; this ensures that all readers at any given time are focusing on the same place, no matter which section of the book they are reading. The tenth chapter is an exception. See Document 1425-A. The SCP Foundation is about collecting supernatural objects that could or couldn’t be dangerous to the public and keeping them out of harms way. This boy is considered one of these objects. Intriguing, right?

Dr. Bright is included as a sexy older woman (oft remarked on), seemingly for the sole purpose of increasing the attractive female count. Day 13 (Saturday, 5/4): Foundation agents investigate the case of the Boyars and determine a possible link between their outburst and the book titled Star Signals. The Boyars’ copy is confiscated for examination, as well as a new copy from a local bookstore. Character relationships and actions - The main character develops an attachment almost immediately. I don't know if this is supposed to indicate some sort of connection he has but it felt forced. He also doesn't give any thought or concern to his family until late in the story. For any normal person that would be their first thought if they have a normal life (as the main character does). He immediately assimilates into his new life and gives us no reason to sympathize or even care that he has been torn away from his family. A number of times he even says the people he meets at the SCP are his family. I should add that that [FURTHER ACTION REDACTED] covers a lot of messy business. (Most of it was taken out in case the Fifth Church got their hands on the information—but I’m getting ahead of myself.) One such point is the full cooperation of the FCC and Ofcom in allowing us to kill broadcasts whenever we required. The favor we did them to make them owe us like that is beyond even my clearance. the writing is mediocre at best most times, but theres practically no character development! well, it’s not like any could be made in the first place because the main character doesn’t have any /character/ to him.when i heard the book was coming out, i was so excited! the scp foundation is one of my most major hyperfixations and i love it to death. and when i saw it at my bookstore i was absolutely over the moon and so happy to be able to finally read it. Day 1 (Monday, 4/22): The second print run of SCP-1425 is completed simultaneously at three locations: the [REDACTED] publishing house main printing facility, then located in [REDACTED], Texas; a smaller facility located in [REDACTED], Maine; and a third branch in [REDACTED], England. The first two factories ship SCP-1425 to bookstores across America; the third is distributed throughout the British Isles. The first print run was, according to recovered documentation, a private distribution amongst members of the Fifth Church, to be passed to friends and family. SCP-3880 - ILLEST RAIN SOUNDS ∞ Hours No Looping - White Noise, Nature/Healing/Ambient, Meditation/Insomnia/Study ASMR [ORIGINAL]

The poor main character has both his name (literally) and his personality (figuratively) redacted- he takes tabula rasa to the extreme. Broadcast intercepted by Protocol Ophiuchus: The May 9th episode of popular talent show American Idol is removed from air in its entirety. After approximately ten minutes of advertisements and preliminary introduction, the host, Ryan Seacrest, stops when introducing the first contestant. Transcript follows. Dr. Bright is put on here too because he can choose and posses whatever body he wants. He chose to go with a Japanese woman because the main character was Japanese and I think he tried flirting with this kid. Every time they mentioned Dr Bright and their movement as a woman they would always mention breasts, legs, or the “pretty face” that they had. It was unnecessary. Even for as insane Dr. Bright is those parts didn’t have to be added especially when something serious or important is going on and when it cuts to Bright this is what I will be reading from the main character. And I don’t really like how Dr. Bright even tried to flirt with the main character or Iris they’re literally teenagers who would still be in high school. The amount of times I read Dr Bright trying to kiss or touch Iris or the main character was disturbing. Mankind in its present state has been around for a quarter of a million years, yet only the last 4,000 have been of any significance. In your current society, you are encouraged to “be yourself”, as if this is the key to making your desires real. What does that mean? It doesn’t mean anything. You can’t be anyone other than yourself. If you were to be someone else, you would still be “you”, and “you” would be someone who is someone else. There is no getting out from under existence. Because you can’t be anyone else, it stands to reason that, if you want change in your reality, it is the world that must change to suit you. You must mold your phenomenological landscape into one where all your goals are achieved.MP: It works both ways, you know. I find my own assistants unable to tell me whether Gandhi ever committed public suicide. They honestly can’t remember. And this isn’t a matter of poor education. In university, they were completely aware of what had happened at the time. The premise of the book intrigued me so I went into it with high hopes and did enjoy the beginning. I found the redacted names a bit distracting but understand the feel the author is going for and why it was done. Interviewer: You know, there are some people out there who believe that, if we wish something didn’t happen hard enough, it really didn’t happen. If you’re learning of Event 1425 for the first time, the details reported here may come as a surprise. It’s a hard notion to swallow, even for a Foundation researcher, that we could cut three weeks of Western culture from memory and history. That doubt is justified. The [REDACTED] publishing company is determined to be a front for the Fifth Church, and is seized. MTF Theta-11 “Wranglers”, MTF Gamma-4 “Money Lenders”, and MTF Lambda-21 “Cave-Dwellers” are sent to the Texas, Maine, and England printing facilities, respectively. All MTFs are met with armed resistance, and engage with no friendly casualties. Publication of SCP-1425 is ended. The publisher’s headquarters in [REDACTED], California is commandeered by MTF Phi-1 “Hostile Takeover”.

I really did want to like this but I can't. About the only good thing I can say is that it made me aware of the SCP Foundation. I've enjoyed reading the files and watching some short films. Do you feel a void in your life? Everyone does, whether they know it or not. Think about it. You can feel it inside you right now: a heavy emptiness in the middle of your chest. It’s a reflection of the one in your existence, like particles in quantum entanglement. Do you remember how we talked about quantum entanglement? Nod “yes”. Yes, you do. Yes, you feel the emptiness. Errors - I'm going to chalk this up to poor proofing. I found a number of writing errors that took me out of the story. Yes, sort of. Asian writers love to appropriate culture and refer to works from other lands. And, of course, like many authors Alice in Wonderland is a favorite in Asia too. Our boy coming through the photograph is much like Alice through the mirror. And many of the odd characters and creepy situations refer to things from the book too. It isn’t so obvious that you feel you know what’s going to happen but it’s fun when you see a parallel. Broadcast intercepted by Protocol Ophiuchus: ███ 24-hour news network, an interview between pundit ████████ ██████ and Parliament member [REDACTED] began to cover events which have never actually occurred. The MP, for example, considers the consequences of a revolution in India in 1921, which he describes as “shorter than the Boston Massacre and ten times as bloody”. A transcript of the end of the interview is provided here.

Peppy: Alright, kids, I think you’ll be surprised by our next guest. He’s a clown that teaches as well as he learns, and dishes it out as well as he takes it! Because nobody hates…! the protagonist is one of those blank slate vessels for the reader to project onto. he’s super uncompelling as a character and very difficult for me to sympathize with. theres no motivations for him or a semblance of a personality outside of being a generic, non-descript high school boy. like come on, i know the author is trying to make him average, but like average people have personalities. they have wants and desires. they’re not boring grey boxes, they’re funky colorful shapes!
