 Hoi hoi and welcome to a new feature. I'm trying out. You may have remembered last week I did an interview with the art director of SCP secret laboratory today I am doing an interview with Tanhoni author of Bobble the Clown and perhaps more recently and more recognizable even SCP-5000 I was listening to some of the comments from the last video about my rather impassive nature whilst the Interviewee was answering questions and I thought I would test out a variety of different formats So this is actually more of a conversational interview It's not like me talking to somebody about you know a particular thing They want to promote necessarily although Tanhoni has an SCP YouTube channel Which I will provide you a link to in the description below to a specific video I think something about how to write SCPs and What I'll do is I'll link you to that so you can go to his channel and you can watch that video and subscribe if you'd like But in the meantime, I'm going to give you a kind of condensed version of the Discussion that we had and then probably on Thursday. I will just release a mostly unedited full interview. So if you like this kind of content, let me know and Let's get started So now we're sitting down with Tanhoni author of SCP 5000 Bobble the Clown and Approve I think it's approximately a hundred and twenty eight other articles on the SCP wiki Near that. I think I'm not I might be like a hundred and twenty four of the ones Yeah, hundred twenty eight. Yeah, you recently moved up to fourth place on the total articles list Which is the only list that really matters Quantity of quality I guess but hopefully there's a bit of quality Well to be fair, that's really quantity over recency, right? Cuz like the quality of work is not necessarily reflected in its in its rating. It's just how old is it? Yeah, there's Yeah So first of all, I'd like to say Welcome to the Channel Second of all, I'd like to say how dare you and what gives you the right? You have to be more specific So I Was I've been chasing after the top five of the by total article count for a little while now and here you are just blowing right past it I just oh It's so annoying so annoying to watch At the same time, I mean at least you're creating mostly good works You know, there's actually a mean because you I don't know if you know this But I do dank memes recite videos from time to time. Yeah, I've seen a few. Yeah There's this meme going around every once in a while and a lot of people have said this this has happened with various videos I've done like people think that I care a lot about the D-class terminations thing Hmm. One of the memes going around is that they think I hate SCP 5,000 I have because I keep saying because you know because I believe my exact line was who the fuck cares But Why you know why who the fuck cares? But let's talk a little bit about SCP 5000 I think that's a good starting point since I believe that's your most popular word. Uh, currently it is right now Yeah, which is a bit of surreal As you said, yeah, you thought I thought it'd be bubble forever pretty much Well, you thought it'd be Bob. I was about to say you thought Bob all the clown would be your legacy for the SCP wiki didn't you I did So let's talk a little bit about SCP 5000. Well, what went into what was the idea the genesis? Of that article well, it was thought it was sort of just that very general concept all started from my wife The Foundation turned against humanity and then I just sort of bill added on to that sort of build on sort of I'm not being the most eloquent here, but it was all about there's a few ideas mainly So it was the Foundation turned against humanity and it's also the mystery theme I wanted to sort of do a mystery from the point of view of someone who never had a chance of solving it late But like it's better than near the end the victim in the murder mystery I also wanted to make a mystery that the origins could maybe solve even if the characters in it couldn't And I don't know how successful I was with all of that, but people liked it. I guess so It's a CP 5000 now Yeah, you hid shit in the fine I think somewhere near the bottom of the article and every time I'm like I don't really because I mean I do have an Opinion on it. I think my opinion is that it's a good art. It's an okay article, but I don't really I Don't I don't I was surprised to find it made it as the SCP 5000 that Not that it was a bad article, but I'm surprised that it was the most popular of all of the possible It took me by surprise as well because it was it was weirdly ahead by quite a big lead I don't know what really contributes to that because I think 501 was second place. That's really good as well. So I'm not sure what which one was five thousand that one's sacrosanth by a Yossi Posse But I just like I'm saying I'm not sure exactly what separated why from the other articles that it was Gave it to that large metric It was definitely Memier and I'm not saying that it's a bad thing. Oh, it's easier to share, right? Fucking me. There's on time me from side 19 flat a week. Yeah, this is a communication from your five counsel Well, I mean and that's not necessarily a bad thing But the the a lot of people a lot of authors don't get this I think and like they'll be Confused the us not on the outside looking in not necessarily like you where you're confused Why your thing is doing so well, but they'll be on the outside going Why is this doing so much better than my stuff? And I'm like, well if it's more easily shareable Yeah, it's more likely to get popular because the quality is you mean a minimum level of quality and then after that It's how easily can you get people to read it with the latch on to? It's all about attention really I guess because they can't vote unless they read it Yep, I Mean I'm not and that's not to say that you know a certain high quality isn't necessary for things to get high rated But it's not the only factor. It's the best way to put it. Yeah Yeah, a lot of authors don't get that but after you've written a hundred and twenty articles or so Starts to become pretty apparent and I say that if somebody else is written a hundred twenty articles I haven't written as many as you. Yeah, so it's like with the Garfield scp as well Oh, yeah, despite how much I may not want it to it has become the gore field scp at this point. Hmm. I Have yet to read it, but I've definitely seen it on the internet many many times a giant spider Garfield I imagine That's not what it is That's the image that's been attached to it because people want to write gore field means and there's an scp That's Garfield. So it's very convenient. I imagine But it isn't a joint spider gore field monster. It's just a guy a Garfield suit Yeah Well, you've done More than just that at this point. You're starting a YouTube channel, aren't you? Yes, very recently I've been giving it going for a while just put this podcast been doing on it I've started to do a few more shorter videos outside the podcast as well Is it still just a podcast? I mean, you know, you're saying do another videos But is it still like the primary purpose of your channel just podcasting? Mostly from the moment. Yeah, I'm gonna try and sort of do more diverse content there See what people like, but the podcast is something I enjoy doing so that's always gonna be there. I think Because yeah, what's the topic of the podcast? So the podcast called discovering scp It's me and one of my friends named on now and Darnell doesn't know that much about scp So I've basically been going through the articles chronologically So in sort of the order that I think best shows off the universe Just sort of get his reactions his opinions on Articles there's sort of really old now, but he's reading them for the first time What's actually is an interesting way to look at it because it you know Introducing new people to the scp wiki is like the whole purpose of secondary media for me Right. Yeah, like hey, look at this look at this. It's the scp. Yeah, and it's not it's not what everyone tells you it is The data expunge the censoring means there's more to it You know what that's that's related to another concept and we'll get back to your channel in just a second But do you think of the scp wiki as more horror or science fiction or? Contemporary fantasy Well, I think in any given article it can be any of the three or maybe a combination I think sort of the underlying genre just shift over time We started off as horror of course and there was a bit of weird sort of comedy in there Then all a lot of fancy elements sci-fi elements got started and in and at this point We can pretty much do anything with an scp article within reason I should say But it's a lot broader than series one for example Yeah, I feel like series two is when things started going taking more of a sci-fi bent There's there's a little bit of it in series one series two really started to Like take it in a sci-fi direction. Yeah, especially scp 2000. I think if that's not series That's the sort of either end of series two or beginning of series three That's sort of the zenith of the sci-fi. I can personally sort of oh, yeah Series three did it too. Yeah by a lot. There's a lot of science fiction in series three Probably why it's my favorite, but yeah Thank you very much for watching if you enjoyed the video Please hit the subscribe button and then hit the notification bell next to that So you're notified when I upload new videos And if you really want to support the channel head on over to patreon.com Ford slash D Sumerian and pledge at any level like everybody here on the screen already has including scp 6277 who has pledged it 50 dollars a month VV who has pledged it 40 dollars a month lawful evil who has pledged it 40 dollars a month And probably a wizard and definitely not a scientist who has also pledged at 40 dollars a month It's nice to know that i'm not alone out here, and i'll see you all again on thursday
