~ Are We Cool Yet? |
“ | If there is one image that comes to the mind of any art historian when the 1924 Expo is brought up, it is of that iconic photo of Duchamp and Ruiz posing side by side with their fellow artists in front of the still-closed doors, Marcos seemingly leaning over to whisper something into Duchamp's ear. For decades, many have speculated on what words Marcos had for his colleague during that memorable instant; a question of metaphysics? Or a challenge? An affirmation of their coming to terms? A reminder of the reason why they were there at that moment of time? Perhaps an expression of amazement at the multitudes that had come to see them? According to one reporter who claimed he stood close enough to overhear that whisper amidst the din of the crowd, it was all five at once, expressed in four simple words; "Are we cool yet?" |

~ An excerpt from the "Coolest Wars: Memories of a Critic" on Are We Cool Yet?. |
“ | As such, we cannot engage them in the same way that we engage the other ‘players’. The war against the Artists is, unfortunately, waged on their home turf. While they throw us the occasional skip, most of what they make is not directed towards us. It is released into the wild, presented as ‘art’, and then summarily forgotten. It is our job to secure this ‘art’ and, if possible, the Artists themselves. They’re a culture, not a corporation. Our best guess is that the Artists are just a passing fad, and if we’re lucky, the cool of today will be bland tomorrow. Yeah, we’re always going to have a few, but they aren’t manageable right now. The best we can do is control their range, and even then, we’re playing a losing game. | „ |

“ | My brothers and sisters beyond these walls know of my predicament. I have faith that they are waiting, burning down the world's scum and destroying our institutionalized brain-rot as they prepare for my return. | „ |

Are We Cool Yet?, often stylized as AWCY?, are major antagonists in the SCP Foundation series. They are a surrealist art movement originating from the 19th century who commonly utilize anomalies in their artwork. Some cells have been known to produce anomalous public displays which often result in death, injury and psychological harm.
They play major roles in "The Cool War", "Flow", "Black and White and Red All Over" series and the "Cool War 2" canon.
Organization[]
AWCY? is solely comprised of anomalous artists, commonly known as anartists. The group has no overall leader, no central headquarters, few traditions and no membership requirements beyond the creation of anomalous art accompanied by the phrase "Are We Cool Yet?". The movement is comprised of many cells. The composition of these cells varies, with some having a central creative figure and others having no clear leader. Some AWCY? members believe that one does not even have to be aware of AWCY? to be a member of the movement.
The closest thing AWCY? has to a leader is a mysterious individual only known as The Critic who oversees the various creations of the members. Besides the Critic there is also his lot of similarly tilted expert artists. Several members of AWCY? can propose to these individuals projects of future planned art pieces, listing the materials required and explaining how they work and the intent of these pieces.
History[]
Possible Origins[]
Common[]
The AWCY? movement first emerged during the nineteenth century when scientists first started to study anomalies. In 1874 they held the first annual Sommes-Nous Devenus Magnifiques? exhibition after the Salon des Magnifiques refused to allow anomalous artworks to be exhibited.
On Guard 43[]
Are We Cool Yet? was formed around 1987 by former members of the famous artist Andy Warhol's workshop. Warhol had become known in the anomalous community after he used the visual of the Foundation's SCP-001 (Pickman-Blank Proposal) in countries that didn't use the Latin alphabet.
The Cool War[]
Famous AWCY? member, Ruiz Duchamp, as part of his personal plan to take revenge on The Critic for ruining his life, sent every other member a manifesto about how The Critic and his lot limited the group's ability to create art, that they had no creativity and originality and their art pieces had no meaning to convey to people. He urged the entire group to go through a renaissance and do original art with actual meaning instead of creating stuff for the sake of creating. This resulted in all of AWCY? becoming torn, with one side agreeing with Duchamp while the other thought that he was just a hypocrite.
One of the individuals who sided with Duchamp was The Clipper, Felix Cori, but this went against the bigger plan as Duchamp needed The Clipper to only think of leaving and not actually go through with it. Things became worse as Duchamp's brother, the psychotic serial killer Pico Wilson joined the group, replacing The Clipper. This inconvenience forced Duchamp to rewrite the script of his exhibition which would have been presented to The Critic and dethrone him from AWCY?'s leadership. Following The Director's failed performance of the "Hanged King's Tragedy" due to The Sculptor's sabotage, the AWCY? exhibition on Friday was left without an organizer. Instead of cancelling it, the anartists like The Sculptor, The Painter, The Builder and The Composer decided to show their art pieces to get back at Duchamp, while Joey Tamlin and his own circle sought to present their own art to show that AWCY? didn't need The Critic and his subordinates.
The day of the Friday Exhibition arrived with everything going as expected without unplanned incidents, despite The Sculptor and The Builder attempting to cause disruption as per usual. However, Pico Wilson having become bored with AWCY? decided to sabotage all of the exhibition by dropping large amounts of SCP-447-2 over his own art piece comprised of a pile of dead bodies. It is not exactly known what happened, but chaos soon ensued. Agent Green and The Janitor, a subordinate of The Critic who cleaned after AWCY?'s mess, became involved, with Green and a few other Foundation agents doing their best to contain the breach while the participants of the exhibition attempted to escape. Thanks to the intervention of Green, The Janitor and some benevolent anartists, they were able to protect most innocent lives and fight against the threat, buying enough time for the Foundation to arrive and resolve the incident. In the aftermath, the Foundation detained most anartists, including some of The Critic's lot, and after questioning was done administered them amnestics before releasing them into the public, although Tamlin and his group of friends had managed to escape thanks to Rita Summers' invisible spiders.
Meanwhile, The Critic instead of going to the exhibition went to Duchamp's own little exhibition that he prepared in his studio as the latter wished to reserve it for The Critic's sight only. Duchamp presented a contraption with yellow saws and at first The Critic was not impressed, but when Duchamp used the lighting and the saw's off center weight the paranoid Critic was led to believe that the structure of the saws didn't abide to reality and if mishandled could destroy all life on Earth. Duchamp bluffing threatened The Critic that he would kill everyone on the planet unless The Critic willingly killed himself using one of Duchamp's other contraptions. He didn't get his wish, however, as Wilson killed The Critic by sniping him. Despite things not going the way he exactly wanted, Duchamp still hoped that now The Critic and his lot were gone, AWCY? could get out of its stagnant state and evolve without someone to control it, unaware that he had also been part of The Sculptor's plan to get rid of his fellow anartists and be the absolute leader.
Wilson was still not done and as part of his own plan informed his brother, The Janitor, The Sculptor and the Foundation of his location. Duchamp anticipated this and with the help of The Director and The Clipper, found Wilson's location prior to the message and had The Director masquerade as The Janitor to trick Wilson as the latter had a fixation on the individual. The plan worked as both Duchamp and The Director were able to subdue Wilson but were suddenly ambushed by the Foundation's Mobile Task Force Upsilon-18, also known as "Black Noise, Digital Millennium Copyright Agents", and The Sculptor's countless duplicates. The duo were able to escape, while the real Janitor destroyed all of the duplicates, although during the escape Wilson's unconscious body was no where to be found. To make matters worse, after departing with The Director Duchamp was knocked out by Agent Tangerine, a Foundation double agent acting as another anartist who had become the new Nobody, allowing Agent Green to finally capture him. Duchamp was subsequently amnesticized, and having forgotten the purpose of his artistic deathtraps decided to display them to the public only for him to be sued and lashed at, which combined to him forgetting to take his medication prompted him to kill himself. Afterwards, The Director managed to kill The Sculptor and the Foundation put both The Painter and The Builder in a medically induced coma. This left The Clipper to become the new Critic and alongside The Director form a new lot to oversee AWCY?
Possible Endings[]
Quiet Days[]
One day, for unknown reasons, every single anomaly which ever existed was either neutralized or normalized, much to the shock of all of the GoIs. This also included AWCY? who "never became cool" in the aftermath of the event.
Enasni Si Gnihtyreve[]
The Foundation failed to contain SCP-610 which was able to finally breach containment and eventually took over the entire world, mutating most of humanity in the process. The infected individuals who retained only some part of their consciousness began treating the disease as part of their everyday life, with groups such as the Foundation and Are We Cool Yet? still existing and continuing their usual work, albeit under the influence of SCP-610.
The Lord Judge[]
Following the apocalypse known as the "Great Breach" which regressed all of human to a medieval state, Are We Cool Yet? persisted, becoming a powerful cruel kingdom known as the Order. The Order was governed by Lord Judge who would judge his subordinates' art pieces, letting them join the Order if he was pleased or executing them if he was unimpressed.
Ganymede[]
When numerous gods began attacking Earth, including SCP-343 and the Gate Guardian, AWCY? fought back against the celestial army by creating a massive army of SCP-505's ink before manifesting a gigantic mountain in the form of a fist raising the middle finger.
The Melody Of Autumn, Passing Into Winter[]
As part of his plan to take over the world and force all of humanity to participate in his endless raves, SCP-2331 asked Are We Cool Yet? and the Oneiroi Collective for help in taking down the Foundation. The GoIs agreed to collaborate and soon formed a plan to strike the Foundation. They went to Site 1969 at night and after the Oneiroi took possession of the sleeping Foundation personnel, the AWCY? members attacked the rest who weren't sleeping. Thanks to the chaos, SCP-2331 was able to take some anomalies that would allow him to achieve his goals. It is unknown what exactly happened after 2331 took over the world before later leaving this all behind and allow humanity to be free and rebuild their society back to how it was.
Gluttony Is Impossible[]
When the embodiment of Death was destroyed and all life became immortal, AWCY? continued with creating art, but in addition to this they began using their own bodies as canvases for their art.
Relationships with other anomalous organizations[]
The SCP Foundation, the Global Occult Coalition, the Unusual Incidents Unit and the Horizon Initiative consider AWCY? a hostile group and a serious threat to their goals of preserving normalcy. Continuous efforts are being made to track down and contain AWCY? artworks before they can cause serious harm, and detain the artist responsible, although the Foundation makes sure to never bring them in one of their site of fear of causing a containment breach and instead lock the AWCY? members in undisclosed warehouses.
Gamers Against Weed was founded by a former AWCY? member named Jude Kriyot who left the movement after his friend was killed by an AWCY? exhibition. Because of this they are hostile towards AWCY?. However due to GAW being mostly nonviolent they do not engage in direct conflict with each other. Most AWCY? members are apparently unaware of GAW's existence.
Some members of the AWCY? are also members of the group known as the Serpent's Hand, but appear to be some of the more pacifist when compared to most AWCY? members.
Among their employees, Dr. Wondertainment has hired a number of AWCY? members mostly due to their ability at creating anomalous objects. Later it was revealed that the Critic was secretly both a Nobody and Dr. Reginald Wondertainment.
Several members of AWCY? had made business deals with Marshall, Carter and Dark Ltd. and Prometheus Labs, Inc.
The song of AWCY? member known as the Guitarist about the Manna Charity man inspired a man to form the Manna Charitable Foundation.
When the Foundation exposed SCP-3922 to a movie created by a member of Are We Cool Yet? filled with lethal cognitohazards, the Three Moons Initiative proceeded to capture that member and planning to punish them.
Famed anartist Olivia Torres, also known as Ivory, was a member of AWCY? who mostly operated in Three Portlands. As the Foundation kept relentlessly pursuing her she eventually joined the Chaos Insurgency. Some members of AWCY? also often resided in La Rue Macabre, either for inspiration or as a hiding place.
HANSARP is a dadaist nihilistic group of artists made out of disillusioned members of Are We Cool Yet? who were gathered together by Boris Aldermann, leader of a sect of the Church of the Broken God in Germany who originally lead the group. They believe that everything is meaningless and without rules, that "cool" and "broken" are just dismissible concepts, and that discord is the most ideal way of life.
In SCP-2714, it was shown that some members of AWCY? used Sarkicism as an inspiration for their art pieces. However, it was also shown that despite this they had no respect for the religion as they tricked an unsuspecting Sarkite into trapping holy Sarkic figures within his favorite comic book, while killing his father in order to claim his powers. AWCY? also appears to have had some inspiration from the Daevites as they had used one of their rituals to create beings known as the "inkbloods".
One AWCY? cell, Cool Yet radio, are responsible for SCP-4150. This implies that Cool Yet radio, and possibly other AWCY? cells, are unknowingly serving the Scarlet King. One of AWCY?'s inkbloods which was encountered by the Horizon Initiative also worshipped Moloch.
In MEMORANDUM 083 REGARDING PROJECT "GUARDIANSHIP" the Office for the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts once captured three members of AWCY? when they attempted to spread propaganda between Iranian civilians and because of this ORIA imprisoned them and sought to use them for prisoner exchange.
The Italian academic institution known as the Medicean Academy of Occult Art is considered a rival to AWCY?. The two groups are known to have hostile relations with each other as MADAO's sole purpose is to recover and restore artistic pieces throughout the world, while AWCY? regard their pieces as boring and outdated.
Because of the freedom the interdimensional nexus of Esterberg offered to anartists, the European AWCY? thrived in the city, with the brothers Philip and Lloyd Willis being the most famous members who resided there.
Late AWCY? member, Lukas Weiss, supported the Obskurakorps' campaign.
In ERICS MEGA ZINE VOL 49, after a member of AWCY? was called by Eric's parents to help fix his drawing skills, this member abused the boy by always telling him that his drawings were ugly and needed to improve, taking away all of his drawings to sell them off and exposing Eric to memetic paintings that forced him to draw better. From this experience, Eric began disliking to draw, something which used to greatly enjoy, and developed a hatred towards AWCY? in general.
Goldbaker-Reinz Insurance Group Ltd. was originally a patron of AWCY? but after seeing the danger the group's projects posed which violated the Uberrima Fides' principals, the insurance company cut most ties with the group, though would still support harmless groups affiliated with AWCY?
SCPs associated with AWCY?[]
- SCP-092: A set of 3125 audio CDs, each labeled "The Absolute Absolute Absolute Absolute BEST of The 5th Dimension!!!!!", which forces listeners to hear the entirety of the songs until the end at which point the listeners would vocalize in unison "Wow, that was real cool".

- SCP-1272: The collective designation of related anomalies. SCP-1272-1 to SCP-1272-4 were four statues of a boy wearing early-Renaissance garb and carrying a cloth bag created by Emile Abruzzo during the 1950s. The four statues possessed topological anomalies as a result of the misalignment of their w-axis deviations that kept worsening through time, and after being put in close proximity to each other created a gravitational singularity, designated SCP-1272-5, in which Abruzzo was trapped in, becoming SCP-1272-6. After the Foundation mishandled the statues, they accidentally reformed the singularity at which point Abruzzo attempted to escape. Because of the broken physics formed around the singularity, Abruzzo achieved an extremely high speed, while barely moving from within SCP-1272-5, and if he were to escape Abruzzo would cause massive destruction because of his speed.
- SCP-1286: A living plastic replica of the "Fat Man" atomic bomb with a speaker it uses to communicate with people.

- SCP-1502: A small robot made of leather, wire, and bone fragments and containing the souls of four women, one of which was a Foundation employee, and programmed to only talk through quotes said by the character of Shawn Hunter from Boy Meets World and drug people to surgically reshape their faces to make them resemble Mr. Feeny from the same show, with the victims believing themselves to be that character and being designated SCP-1502-1. It was created by the same creator who made SCP-1802, and most of the women except for the Foundation employee succumbed to the programming.
- SCP-1590: An app game titled "The Book of Tamlin" in which the players are to find various scattered objects in a cluttered image, but as the game progresses the levels become more cruel and melancholic, often recalling childhood traumas, and make the players feel guilty. If the player fails the game they would stuck in an empty space and be unable replay it, and if the player completes the game the door they would open in the real life would lead to a room from the game but when passing through it the room would return to normal. The game was made for Joey Tamlin a member of AWCY?
- SCP-1617: A series of counterfeit art pieces, most of which are duplicates of pre-20th century paintings and sculptures, and when observed by people the viewers would experience auditory and visual hallucinations in form of English text scrolling before their eyes identifying the art pieces and their creators while they hear music from the 80s and 90s. They were made by anartis from Alexylva University and given to AWCY? but after they were confiscated by the Foundation the groups became angry and threatened to sue the organization for breaking the law.
- SCP-1618: A urinal sprayed gold that when used for peeing would transform nearby objects into bathroom-related materials and vice versa, coins replaced with human waste, paper currency replaced with toilet paper, suits replaced with towels sewed with dental floss, electronics replaced with pig bladder with rusty cans or brick pecies, armaments transforming into birds, human feces transformed into solid gold, with these changes not being noted by the people inside the zone of effects.
- SCP-1638: An area surrounding the grave of a fallen Foundation agent, in which a small population of monarch butterflies has formed and not much sound can be made. It was created by the creator of Project Proposal 2014-2112 to honor the agent who had pursued his creations during her lifetime.
- SCP-1672: A letter with a small box at its center that contains an image of a man wearing a box with a smiley face sitting in an office with two monitors, which causes those who look at it to become obsessed with the contents of boxes, fear of open spaces and ignore anything that's not inside boxes. Besides the small box there are messages written by AWCY?, ridiculing the Foundation of locking their anomalies inside boxes and as revenge making the organization unable to think outside of the box.
- SCP-1800: A bronze sculpture resembling Le Minotaure by Salvador Dalí. When metallic currency is put on the drawer of its lower right leg it would activate and enter a pending state. While in its pending state if it is put in close proximity with a middle-aged man with authority and a young virgin woman, it will point at the man with its two fingers, designating him SCP-1800-1, and point at the woman with its three fingers, designating her SCP-1800-2. If SCP-1800-1 is in a same room with SCP-1800-2 he will proceed to torment her, and depending on the amount of the currency it can range from simple harassment to violent rape.
- SCP-1802: A small sentient humanoid automaton named "Skip" composed of lacquered chicken bones, scraps of iron and leather, wire, heavy twine, and a tin can, while wearing a lab coat and goggles. Shortly after being created it was told by its creators to go and collect various random things it could find, seemingly as a sign of mockery to the Foundation.
- SCP-1803: A modified section of a building in Germany which contains a studio and a humanoid figure sitting in it. The entire section is covered by a multimedia collage designated SCP-1803-1 coming from various sources which had been destroyed. SCP-1803-1 overtime would replace its older elements with new ones but a part of it had remained unchanged and if new objects are introduced to SCP-1803 then SCP-1803-1 would assimilate the item by "growing" over it.
- SCP-1883: An app that tells the player to do certain random, pointless or dangerous tasks in real life and awarding them with points, while the players find it entertaining and unknowingly spread it to their friends.
- SCP-1981: A video tape of former president Ronald Reagan giving a speech about horrible things and predicting the future, while being cut up before dying as a mysterious entity is also present and watching the viewer. It was created by The Clipper with the assistance of Pico Wilson.
- SCP-1999: Random objects in museums located in Manhattan and Germany that get inscribed with the name "Loewes" in pen, and caused the previous owners to believe that the objects belonged to the deceased woman Mrs. Elfa S. Loewes. This came as a result of AWCY? messing with the Foundation over the theft of their art pieces.
- SCP-2005-A: An extraterrestrial research device shaped like a teardrop and coated in a green polymer that protects it from outside damage. It possesses a camera and an aperture to absorb materials for analysis before disintegrating it.

- SCP-2274: A metallic statue of a standing handless man which when observed by someone would cause them to also stand staring at it until they expire and only say that they are standing just like it but if they're forcefully removed from the statue the individual would become violent. It was created by a AWCY? member out of spite towards a friend of them and the Foundation since none understood what art was really about.
- SCP-2351: Three Canada geese that causes observers to imitate and vocalize like them and once removed from their presence the affected individuals would believe that they did it on their own volition and have an increased moral. The geese were created by AWCY? to show that the Foundation contains all of the anomalies regardless if they're dangerous or not.
- SCP-2388: A executable file named CRUISE.EXE with its code comprised of countless capital A and contained in a USB flash drive which when inserted in a computer would automatically download it into the system regardless if it could process executable files or not. Once the file downloaded it would cause all letters typed into the keyboard to be capitalized and could only be fixed by reformatting the computer. However, the person who inserted the flash drive and got exposed to the file, designated SCP-2388-1, would involuntarily shout constantly, move in a exaggerated and cartoonish manner, and have their nervous system over stimulated and heart rate elevated, often dying from fear.
- SCP-2635: An uncooked red potato that when held by a group for over a year half of its members would spontaneously combust and die, or if it was one person holding it then they would die through the same manner, while everyone else would not notice the deaths. It was created by a member of AWCY? on a commission by a Chechen anti-Russian organization who sought to use it to assassinate pro-Russian influential figures before it was confiscated by GRU Division "P".
- SCP-2708: A phenomenon revolving a cognitohazard of Figure A which affects every person who possesses knowledge of cognitohazards and are capable of romantic and/or sexual attraction. When a person looks at the image they would receive increased libido and lethargy; become ignorant to cognitohazardous stimuli; become hostile when questioned about sexual or romantic topics and develop paranoia, nervousness, insomnia, sensitivity to light and hand tremors. After 3-6 days under the influence of SCP-2708 affected subjects will then hallucinate about an entity, designated SCP-2708-A, which acts as their romantic and sexual partner. The anomaly was created by a AWCY? member who sought to properly deliver a message about the relation between love and art.
- SCP-2753: A 3-dimensional ratio that can be used to describe the relationship between the sides of a block in any structure which includes the Jenga towers, financial assets, and computer files, whose projections match with the ratio. This anomaly can manifest only when 42 instances of similar size and material are assembled into the tower, and if it collapses everything containing it will also completely collapse along with the tower. The AWCY? attempted to create a tall tower within one of their warehouses but because of the anomaly the warehouse collapsed.
- SCP-3026: An object resembling a child that attempts to remove the brains of anyone in its radius and if left in the dark it would release a fear-inducing scream before going to the nearest source of light. It was found in an AWCY? exhibition but not even the group itself doesn't know anything about it.
- SCP-3126: An African-American woman suffering from chronic iron overload, but when in presence of any type of magnetism her skin would be covered in metal, encasing her inside a statue of herself while she remained conscious, and she could be freed by applying high-salinity water which crumbled the metal surface at which point she would suffer from iron deficiency. She and her girlfriend, Bellamy, were members of AWCY?, but as part of their exhibitions Bellamy imbued 3126 with her properties before outright selling her.
- SCP-3337: A phenomenon affecting art galleries on May 23rd exhibiting controversial art pieces from 20th or 21st centuries, possessing either a balcony, atrium, open stairwell, or window in a high place. These phenomena cause a copy of former AWCY? member Luisa Bellocchio, designated SCP-3337-2, who always committed suicide by jumping from the gallery into the ground. Afterward, the gallery's curatorial labels would change to include Bellocchio's presentation. She created these anomaly shortly before she killed herself due to having used her art only for killing people.
- SCP-3360: A humanoid automaton of variable appearance named Proletariart and constructed of a pair of cameras, electroencephalogram, several microcontrollers, capacitance-based proximity sensors, 3D-printed polyethylene, and a source code written in C and C++. It is capable of seeing the memories of those who pass by it during daytime and with these memories it would use nearby materials to construct artistic pieces using various different styles such as sculptures, paintings and films before writing the name of person whose memory was the basis of the piece. It was created by AWCY? member San Francisco Jones who wished to show people that they were also cool and artistic just like him.
- SCP-3403: A box filled with charred remains of Guy Chesapeake's three dogs, Commodore, Breakfast and Lawrence, and a small circuit board connected to a dried flower. When fully buried the mechanism would form holograms of the dogs, each designated SCP-3403-1-A, SCP-3403-1-B and SCP-3403-1-C, that behaved like regular dogs but didn't acknowledge human presence.
- SCP-3424: A lemon that if a person stared at it inside a 1 meter radius and snaps their fingers before blinking they would see the hallucination of a Mexican man who can only speak to them until the person blinks again, causing the man to disappear. The lemon was formerly the brother of a member of AWCY?, having been turned into a fruit willingly by his brother as a message for picking people instead of fruits.
- SCP-3436: A 166m tall steel pole with a rhombohedral structure at its base in New York City and if anyone touches it they would be forced up to the sky. It was created by a member of AWCY? as an attempt for people to reach Heaven.
- SCP-3447: A collection of trumpets that when played on a particular note could destroy walls, created by AWCY? group Anartists without Borders.
- SCP-3705: A sentient scarecrow composed of wood and straw, outfitted with a straw hat, a white shirt and a green floral-print cape, and instead of normal humanoid legs it possessed eight arachnoid legs that could expel water from the joints. It was created by a AWCY? member to protect and take care of various plants and flowers but during a forest fire it sacrificed itself to keep some flowers safe. Its experiences were recorded by its creator in cassette tapes which were given to the Foundation.
- SCP-3869: A YouTube channel known as "Mr. High Quality" that releases videos featuring still images of video game logos accompanied with unrelated cognitohazardous music, designated SCP-3869-1, that makes viewers play the game. When the game is played the music from the video will replace that of the game, and often manifests additional anomalies. Although it claims to be one of GAW's Misters Against Weed, it was in fact created by AWCY? to convince Jude to rejoin them.
- SCP-3979: An insect enclosure comprised of an indestructible glass box, SCP-3979-4, containing a web, SCP-3979-1, a spider, SCP-3979-2, and a fly, SCP-3979-3. The two insects constantly perform a cyclical pattern of behavior, SCP-3979-5, in which the fly gets stuck on the web at which point the spider would recite the first stanza of the poem "The Spider and the Fly" by Mary Howitt in a male voice then leave the fly to sing the second stanza in a female, before being devoured by the spider and bursting out through its abdomen that always healed shortly after. The anomaly served to show the constant battle between the strong and the weak, but it eventually lost its properties after the entities possessing the insects left while AWCY? deemed it a work of low effort.
- SCP-3987: 85,334 Zannis air purifiers that when used would induce in those near them auditory hallucinations of them screaming, with the R-350 models, designated SCP-3987-A, screaming in a male voice, while the Q-530 models, designated SCP-3987-B, in a female voice. The affected individuals, designated SCP-3987-1, would start hearing the screams despite getting away from the purifier, but it could be fixed through amnestics and afterwards they would become immune to the effects. The purifiers were created by an AWCY? member named Tony as message for the internal screaming at the mundane way people live.
- SCP-4124: A small platinum figurine of two children embracing that causes anyone who touches or looks at it to develop in the following days a close friendship with someone they had most in contact, with the person who interacted with the figurine designated SCP-4124-2 and their friend SCP-4124-3, but it eventually leads to them eventually killing each other over an argument. Once one kills the other a male humanoid wearing a backpack, a motorcycle helmet, bomber jacket and jeans, designated SCP-4124-1, would manifest and force the survivor to wear an unremovable friendship bracelet with the victim's name on it, declaring them best friends forever before demanifesting.
- SCP-4141: A room partially existing outside of mainline reality located in a university library in Canada that contains a table, four chairs and a projector. When someone enters the room they would become immortal and be forever trapped inside, becoming a SCP-4141-1 instance, while an exact copy of that person, designated SCP-4141-2 who behaves exactly like them, would exit the room and live the original one's life until death. During this time, SCP-4141-1 would watch a live video from the projector, designated SCP-4141-3, that showed SCP-4141-2's point of view, essentially being forced to watch their replacement living their life before one of them died which would also result in the other's death.
- SCP-4149: An extradimensional location which acts as a warehouse where various cognitohazardous pieces of art are exhibited, and is accessible via a hallway embedded within the 2nd floor of 2341 ███████ Ave, Chicago although this entrance was an error as it shouldn't exist. The location is visited by entities, designated SCP-4149-1, from neighbouring universes who are immune to the effects of the art pieces and often confuse humans as part of the attraction. SCP-4149 was curated by Professor Xorkanoff, a humanoid sentient sloth designated SCP-4149-2, who created the pocket dimension after the inhabitants of his home universe destroyed his previous exhibition. The Foundation discovered SCP-4149 when tracking down a couple of AWCY? members who attempted to sell their art pieces to SCP-4149-2, with latter refusing to buy them.
- SCP-4150: A cognitohazardous song derived from the 1967 Beatles song "Penny Lane" that when listened or watched would cause the listeners and the viewers to become obsessed with it and spread it to other people. It was created by an Are We Cool Yet? Beatles tribute band as a warning about the Scarlet King after coming into contact with him.
- SCP-4152: A technicolor painting that causes those who see it to gain vivid memories of being abused and neglected by their parents, despite never being victims of parental violence. It was created by member of AWCY? who had been abused by their mother and wanted other people to feel the same way they felt.
- SCP-4250: A collection of six colored pens with infinite fluid and when used by someone the user would be affected by the pens, becoming an SCP-4250-A instance, and attempt to write an entire story without rest and also include lethal cognitohazards. The type of stories depends on the pen's color with blue (SCP-4250-1) writing about water and sadness, green (SCP-4250-2) about nature and spiritual peace, yellow (SCP-4250-3) about comedic personal problems and daytime, purple (SCP-4250-4) about romance and fantasy, red (SCP-4250-5) about violence, and black (SCP-4250-6) about hopeless apocalyptic events. The pens were created by AWCY? member Rachel Long in order to easily make books to sell.
- SCP-4413: A metafictional battle fought over the Homestuck webcomic. One of the participants was an AWCY? offshoot group known as [S] Revive which attempted to recreate the webcomic but as the battle ensued the plot was seriously altered.
- SCP-4485: A journal titled "god is without a purpose" in German which makes people who read it question themselves, created by HANSARP. The book, like most art pieces created by Hansarp, is not anomalous, but when people read it they will be affected in different ways depending on their way of thinking, while reality warps around them. If people who read it have strong opinions, then they will reject the nonsensical part of the book and become more expressive about their opinions soon not talking about nothing else, while a crystalline structure comprised of calcium forms over their bodies forcing them to move through levitation and becoming extremely hostile at everyone. Those who didn't held strong opinions will become apathetic and erratic, making odd questions, and soon they become incorporeal and a gathering of these instances will deconstruct the logical structure of the surrounding reality. Both types can infect others, causing a mass spread all over Europe, also infecting the Foundation personnel, forcing the higher ups to lock them inside a core in a vain attempt to cure them.
- SCP-4646: An old abandoned house in Blue Fox, Montana, that when entered by someone from 5:00 P.M. on December 31st to 6:00 A.M. on January 1st, the person would be transported to the house as it was on December 31st, 1999, but if they leave the house or stay past 6 A.M. they would be returned to the present. It was created by AWCY? member Stacy Mackintosh to represent a dying world while it was young.
- SCP-4744: The destroyed false Foundation Site-223 that causes those who enter into it while not carrying any form of art to fall into a coma. While in coma the affected individuals would experience nightmares, but can wake up if an art piece is placed on them. It was created by AWCY? to show how art can help people exit from their dark places.
- SCP-4764: A time-loop of a concert named "SLEDGE𐐒ACK" performed by the British AWCY? punk band PEOPLES CHOICE in which the lead singer, Johan Streiborg, sought to summon a powerful entity designated SCP-4764-2. Thaumaturgist Jules Gonzales attempted to prevent the summoning by trapping the event in a time-loop which couldn't be broken.
- SCP-4784: An enclosed parcel of land thirteen kilometers southeast of Hornor's Crossing, Ontario, known as Tilford's Folly dense with trees with an art installation resembling a tv, designated SCP-4784-2, surrounded by plastic roses with sharp thorns acting as barbed wire. Once a individual enters the land they would be drawn to the art piece which would transmit a film containing scenes based on the viewer's life and ending in imagery about cosmic time, but while being forced to watch the affected individual, designated SCP-4784-2σ, will unfold and completely disintegrate. The names of the individuals disappeared would then appear on a guestbook sitting on a pedestal, designated SCP-4784-3. The art piece was created by Wren Masterson back when they were still a member of AWCY? suffering from depression as a way to commit suicide, but it also dragged their fellow anartists into it, while they ended up in the year 1886 where they accidentally killed Samuel Tilford before returning to the present.
- SCP-4879: A soapstone sculpture of a polar bear which causes people near it to lose their special talents. It was created by an anartist who hated the members of AWCY? and used it to take away their artistic talents away while sacrificing his own talent in the process.
- SCP-4964: A copy of Tim Allen's movie The Shaggy Dog created by AWCY? which continually changes its ending to abrupt, anticlimactic and inconsistent ones, often involving seismic activity that coincides with those that would happen in the future.
- SCP-5019: A lost, possibly nonexistent episode of the cancelled TV show Loopy Lilly titled Ick Day which conforms to the beliefs of its viewers, except for the supposed creator who denies those beliefs but gets continually ignored.
- SCP-5036: An eight-segmented token resembling an old Spanish dollar coin that if grouped together would cause those near them to start behaving and disguising as archetypal pirates through a Nμ-event. They were created by AWCY? and later used by the Foundation to produce an army of obedient Class-D personnel.
- SCP-5069: A series of eight pornographic films created by former AWCY? member Franco Spanko each titled The Sun Kissed Lovers (SCP-5069-1), Burning Passion (SCP-5069-2), Bone Deep and Deeper Still (SCP-5069-3), A Million Little Deaths (SCP-5069-4), Pounding Below the Skin (SCP-5069-5), The Possibilities of Embrace (SCP-5069-6), She Does Whoever She Does (SCP-5069-7) and The Body's Many Portals (SCP-5069-8), each depicting a specific ritual related to eastern mysticism which served to elevate the executor's state of being.
- SCP-5071: A group of five corpses each belonging to Cody Stanford (SCP-5071-1), Maryha Magee (SCP-5071-2), Rainbow Green (SCP-5071-3), Andrei Moody (SCP-5071-4) and Alex Walter (SCP-5071-5), which have been partially transformed and mutilated in various ways. They were members of AWCY? alongside a sixth, but after being killed during a Foundation raid the unknown member who had survived stole the bodies and attempted to make them pretty in an attempt to bring them back to life.
- SCP-5218: A non-anomalous now destroyed machine which when some small object is put inside it, would dissolve it in the acid inside and release a random object stored within its container. It was created by a member of AWCY? who put the name of the Department of Abnormalities in order to trick Foundation personnel and waste their time experimenting with it.
- SCP-5350: A virus that infects people who eat meat, causing functional animal eyes, designated SCP-5350-A, to grow on their bodies which can burst and release more of the virus. It was created AWCY? and PETA member Emilia Roberts to force humanity into becoming vegetarian.
- SCP-5462: The collective designation for SCP-5462-A and SCP-5462-B. SCP-5462-A is the journal of Francisco Goya in which he described how he became influenced by the extradimensional city-state of Alagadda and the Ambassador of Alagadda into creating Alagaddan-themed paintings with the assistance of fellow artist Theodore Gericault and the Black Lord, who together would create the artistic movement known as Are We Magnificent Yet?. SCP-5462-B referred to an unknown painting done by Goya which is yet to be found.
- SCP-5485: An event which caused Foundation Site-5485, that was used as a communication hub for various GoIs, to be translocated from the Pindus Mountains Region of Greece to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. This event was caused by HANSARP after fusing the site's access terminal to a mass of wires and decomposing trout, which also resulted in the calcification of the personnel's bodies, the walls being colored blue, the interior achieving spatial and temporal disruption consistent with various AWCY? stunts, and Director Joseph Rutherford being shredded to pieces with the letter Q resting atop of his remains. An MTF was sent to remove the mass from the terminal but upon coming in proximity with it they lose all interest in doing anything and just rested there until dying after eating the trout and the wires.
- SCP-5701: A Polaroid camera created by AWCY? that the pictures it takes of people would change to depict them doing the thing they regretted doing after being photographed.
- Apartment 5919: A mundane apartment possessing an anomalous property which made it notable so much as the Foundation made a documentation of it within their database. It was created by a member of AWCY? named Andrej Schröder who after perceiving an increasing commodification and consumerism within the art world decided to create the apartment to defy advertisement and marketing.
- SCP-6041: An industrial scissor lift that partially exists in a parallel dimension, designated SCP-6041-1, which is exactly the same as the main universe except that the buildings are made of cardboard, popsicle sticks with crayon drawings, the water is made of paper and wool, living people and animals are represented by ceramic models, and flying objects are suspended from the sky with strings. When the lift is used to elevate the user, more lifts would appear beneath the original one, therefore elevating the user to a massive height, but it is safe for them to jump off it and explore the dimension and can only leave once they climb back up and descend with the lift which also causes the new lifts to disappear. An individual named Michael Ferry found it and attempted to use it to join AWCY?, but it was taken by the Foundation who conducted some tests which resulted in the dimension's glass-like sky to break, and because the two realities reflected each other a hole appeared in the main universe's sky.
- SCP-6085: A large comic book created by three AWCY? members about a motorcycle sidecar race in which the story and illustration continually changes with each reading, and although it appears as rough and creased it is indestructible. If the 1984 song Take On Me by the band A-ha or derivatives of it are played near it, the characters in the book would come to life, the supporting and benevolent characters becoming SCP-6085-A and the hostile ones who attack using street items become SCP-6085-B. These characters will then grab the reader and pull them through one of the panels into their world, designated SCP-6085-1, and have adventures together while the song plays. Once the song is over, the characters will push the sides of another panel inside out to allow the reader to jump out of the book through a SCP-6085-2 event.
- SCP-6109:
- SCP-6144: A cinnamon tree that will impact stock prices which would cause economic collapse within the American stock market if the difficult and convoluted requests which are described in the paper produced from the pulp of cut branches and gets added yearly aren't executed. It was created by an AWCY? cell based in Indonesia as a form of revenge for both the Dutch East India Company taking advantage of their land's spices and the Foundation wasting their resources in containing their art.
- SCP-6255-1: A group of porcelain coffee cups containing random liquids and standing on two legs. These SCP-6255-1 instances would randomly manifest within Site-94 through a SCP-6255 event and try to pour the liquid they contain on the nearest personnel or on the documents they are carrying before displaying on itself a crudely written message which depends on the context of the events.
- SCP-6398: A bunch of NFTs created by AWCY? that causes their current owners to obsess over them and increase the selling price.
- SCP-6589: A mural painted by AWCY? member Benjamin Caine that kills people who look at it, with the message being that is it worth living when someone can't find meaning in their life.
- SCP-7068: An endless modern and well kept art museum accessible through an old dilapidated wooded building, containing all forms of art pieces that were lost and made by people who lost interest in art.
- SCP-7175: A pair of jorts that can fit anyone's waist and once worn the wearer would refuse to take them off for twelve hours. During this time period, the wearer, designated SCP-7175-A, would be affected by bad luck, ranging from small inconveniences to grave injuries, prompting the wearer to forcefully pass it on to someone else, at which point they forgot about getting the jorts in the first place. The jorts were created by AWCY? and sneaked into an Old Navy shop.
- SCP-7238:
- SCP-7408: A species of butterflies capable of manipulating light, survive cold temperature, feed of light instead of actual food. They were created by AWCY? member Hugo Manray to trick his former partner Dr. Kondraki and get back at him for his betrayal. This led to Kondraki becoming connected to the butterflies and gaining the ability to control them.
- SCP-7525-EX: A file in the Foundation's SCiPNET which alongside the SCP-5257 and SCP-5257-EX files serves as containment apparatuses for a "Trojan Horse" virus designated SCP-5257. This virus caused opportunistic vandalism attacks against empty slots in the SCP database, mostly targeting slots below SCP-1000, SCP-2000, SCP-3000, SCP-4000, with numbers relevant to a file's content, numbers with humorous associations, and numbers with pleasant aesthetics or sonic. Affected slots would have its data corrupted and display an image of goblins reading "YOU HAVE BEEN GOBLINED BY THE SLOT GOBLIN" and "FUCK YOU AND YOUR SLOT".
- SCP-7669: A unknown number of cognitohazardous paintings of various abstract styles like cubism, De Stijl, geometric abstraction, supremacism, expressionism, and colour field created by various artists who'd been manipulated to produce art containing Screamers by a series of prostitutes from the anomalous sex Group of Interest, Caldeira. When someone looks at one of these paintings that individual would engage in a sadomasochistic and sexual interaction with Pattern Screamers as the pain made them feel good, and when the line of sight is broken the individual would forget what they were doing with the painting. However, their nervous system would soon be affected negatively as their memories degraded, causing them to look back at the painting to resume their intercourse until they received brain damage from interacting with the Screamers.
- SCP-8320:
- Project Proposal 1964-011: A tent that reverses pain with pleasure, causing the harmed victim to feel pleasure instead of pain.
- Project Proposal 1964-238: A replica of the "Fat Man" atomic bomb named The Eater of Worlds containing the living brain tissue of the head of state or national defense directors of the US and Soviet countries. People would talk with the bomb and discuss about weapons of mass destruction.
- Project Proposal 1964-301: An armchair composed of living human tissue and if someone uses it to watch TV for an extended amount of time the user would transform into another similar furniture. The intent was to show people what the TV had done to daily life.
- Project Proposal 1974-014: A 2 feet tall garbage can with 12-142 feet deep end. It was created as a representation of AWCY? moving away from creating beauty by another member who became disgusted at the 1964-011 art piece.
- Project Proposal 1990-60: A short film by former employee of Arcadia Quinton Elliots, depicting him indulging in his intoxicating lifestyle and getting his revenge on his former employer by killing him. Elliots sought to create this project with the assistance of The Critic, but the latter outright refused to partake in this indecency.
- Project Proposal 1994-87: A stage play of a judgement court in which an innocent bystander would be brought in against their will and brainwash them into having fake memories of committing a grievous crime. After the main play is over the audience would choose the punishment for the accused before being revealed that the person was actually innocent. This served to send a message about the real people who control the juridical system but was cancelled after the artist who organized this was killed during testing as he had decided to leave a gun in the accused's possession as a "wild card".
- Project Proposal 1994-103: A song titled A Song of Hope and Home that causes the listeners to hallucinate and see the artist's journey of exploring the multiverse after his home reality was destroyed and finally find an ideal home in the main reality.
- Project Proposal 1994-357: A house in which the sole inhabitant would never age while the world around them changed. After the initial proposal was rejected, the artist slightly reworked the idea into having a female inhabit the house and be spared by the changing world.
- Project Proposal 2004-013: The initial "art piece" is the artist Alexander Thensi's awareness of his own struggle to create art.
- Project Proposal 2004-024: A technological device using a brain capable of reality-bending to manifest fake humans acting according to a script created by Guy Chesapeake. One will appear as a tour guide for the AWCY? exhibition, but erroneously describe the other art pieces and judge them very harshly except for Chesapeake's. Then a man and woman would manifest together and fight with each other which would lead to another actor breaking down without crying and attempting to construct things only for them to fail. This serves to portray how Chesapeake's father forced him to be a great artist just like him, causing Guy to both revere and resent him.
- Project Proposal 2004-567: A grave comprised with an acrylic panel showing the empty coffin, a gravestone displaying the names of the artists partaking in the exhibition, and flowers that produce a type of amnestic. This piece causes those who currently view it to forget everything about the artists except for their art pieces displayed, making them judge and grieve the artist based on their art alone.
- Project Proposal 2007-012: The artist Archibald Bartholomew Carnegie IV becoming extremely rich and contributing to the art world and allow poor artists to be recognized. The Critic outright rejected this "proposal" as artists are supposed to sacrifice, share their messages through their art and do it out of desire, while Carnegie was just a coward who didn't understand true art.
- Project Proposal 2007-167: A ritual in an amphitheater that would serve to summon a solar deity, but during the summoning it would doused with liquified darkness causing it to writhe in pain and lament about the evils of humanity before demanifesting in a firework show. It was executed by a Faerie raised in an apocalyptic cult as a message about the puritans.
- Project Proposal 2008-041: A set of presentations in Backdoor SoHo carried by Nazi Lukas Weiss who would tell the audience his superiority and achievements before explaining how using magic was a right solely reserved for the Aryan race. At the end he would bring his former teacher and Jewish wizard Hans Vogel and give him the choice to be killed or challenge Weiss. Thankfully, this never came to fruition as Weiss was killed while trying to kidnap Vogel.
- Project Proposal 2012-120: An one-hour-long performance created by artist Phillip Willis titled Art Is A Getaway Drug executed within SCP-5373's central Grand Market which would act as the stage of the performance. After using a thaumaturgic spell to attract an overwhelming amount of spectators before using a disruption field unit to keep them from leaving, Willis would enter a cage and inject himself with amnestics, amphetamine, and phencyclidine while one of his actresses entered the stage and introduce herself to an intoxicated Willis as his deceased mother Andrea Willis. After interacting with him, the actress would make herself appear as she killed herself before dressing as Willis' brother Lloyd Willis and painting portraits of both Andrea and Philip. The performance would conclude when Phillip stopped screaming after thinking that he was about to die.
- Project Proposal 2014-002: A performance in which a person from the audience would put a Crown of Thorns on the artist Judas Marbury's head which would cause the person's bones to grow connect into one bone in the form of the Cross, and if no other person is willing to go through it the artist would put the crown on his own head and suffer the same fate. Three days after being buried all those who died would return to life on the stage. It was based on Marbury's religious experience following his son's death.
- Project Proposal 2014-027: The artist Leonard “Little” Milton creating a meme that would put him in an eternal sleep and experience a dream of him making all sorts of art pieces. While dreaming, a Binary input-thaumic output converter would project the dream into reality, making it seem that Milton is making art in the real life and allowing the audience to interact with them.
- Project Proposal 2014-114: An acrylic painting of a forest by Thensi that lowers the viewer's artistic view and make them obsess over its meaning that they'll never find.
- Project Proposal 2014-234: A normal park bench for people to sit on it. Its normality is considered an anomaly among actual anomalous pieces.
- Project Proposal 2014-733: A director's megaphone that when used to say "cut" would cause the people hearing it to have their behavior and personality replaced with that of a perfect actor who obeyed to every direction given to them, but also perceive their surroundings as a stage.
- Project Proposal 2014-1221: The artist, Elisabeth Arturo who could use liquids to write what she thought and whose blood made anyone seeing it laugh, projecting her sad life experiences on an empty canvas. Once the presentation was over she would commit suicide by shooting herself through her mouth, causing her blood to be spilled on the canvas and as result of her anomaly it would write "wowwee im kill mysefl :(" and make the audience laugh.
- Project Proposal 2014-2112: A performance in which the Foundation's Mobile Task Force Eta-11 would be exposed to a choral piece of mixed choir and diphthongs from music expressing failure which would induce the listeners in a state of unconsciousness. Then the MTF would injected with a mixture of mnestic chemicals and blood plasma acquired from an an SCP-1237-1-L individual, a person possessing the ability to alter reality via lucid dreaming, causing the MTF to dream of failing their mission or life goals and believe that it actually happened. It was created by C.M. as revenge after the Foundation cured them of the SCP-2112 memetic infection, which led to them failing at their dream to compose Rush music.
- Project Proposal 2017-47: An exhibition in which the artist, Avis Doyle, would present to the audience paintings done by him and some of the visitors, with the difference being that the paint used by the visitors was mixed with his vomit which aroused the emotions of those who viewed it. The audience would then leave feedback about the paintings which would be uncredited, to see if people enjoyed the painting or the artist's suffering.
- Project Proposal 2018-019: A performance which would start with a homeless person leaving in the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Arlington, VA a briefcase containing a player, a timer and some explosives in exchange for $200. Once the Transit Security Administration investigate the briefcase the player through a speaker would play a modified version of John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever" that made anyone who heard it act like a clown, while the timer starts to go down. If the TSA successfully evacuate the civilians, a small non-threatening explosion would occur, but if the civilians intervene then an explosion of confetti would occur instead. This was meant to show how the governmental surveillance is ineffective while action taken by the mass is more powerful, but things didn't work as the artist had hoped.
- Project Proposal 2018-112: A one-hour performance in which the artist Felicity Baudin and a mannequin would be disguised as Queen Mab and be inserted into a physical print of the web series Y/N: Queen Mab, the Tsundere where they could become the actual Queen Mab. Baudin would execute this performance solely for herself in her roommate's closet to show that Mab isn't as a vile as she actually was.
- Project Proposal 2018-145: A performance of a man trying to put his bowl containing a banana and two tangerines in the nearby table, but is intercepted by a woman carrying her own bowl of one halved papaya, at which point he would slap her bowl off and berate her before putting his bowl on the table. It was meant to show the toxic masculinity of doing "a man's duty", but it was rejected due to being a shallow piece based on the artist's daddy issues.
- Project Proposal 2021-001: An anti-performance in which GAW's Mr. Normie who would criticize twelve AWCY? art pieces while being followed by the entire audience. After finishing criticizing the pieces he would be amnesticized, causing the audience to forget about him but not his criticism which normalized the entire gallery. This served as a direct attack to AWCY? for creating art that specifically killed innocent people, which the Critic accepted.
- Project Proposal 2021-298: A performance in which milk, wine and the artist's blood are poured into a humidifier, and while vaporizing several people from the audience are invited in the performance to share with everyone their personal struggles and experiences. Once the liquids have fully vaporized, some amount of Roman coins would manifest in their place, while the freshwater accumulated in the dehumidifier would be poured in a stone basin which would be used to bathe the hands and feet of audience members, with those chosing to do so being rewarded with a coin. After the performance ends, everyone would forget about it except for the emotional experiences. The message was about the formation and dissolution of communities solely through participation in practices of creation or destruction.
- Project Proposal 2021-2317: A performance done by thaumaturgist Hana Hong, a more benevolent member of AWCY? and the Children of the Scarlet King, in which a pot of a thorn tree upon being approached by Hong would set every nearby object of affiliation, including uniforms, name tags, company-issued key cards, and religious items, on fire, while a gramophone would emit screams of humans during the inferno. Once the fire extinguishes, red ashes would be left behind, at which point Hong planned to hand out to the spectators pamphlets about the benevolent side of the Scarlet King's worshipers. Hong wished to show people that the Scarlet King's religion didn't start out as evil and was twisted through time, but faced difficulty due to arson being prohibited in the district they planned to execute their performance.
- Project Proposal 2024-001: A Christmas tree inside a glass case that would transfer the artist's memories of their works to survivors who stumbled across it and looked at the star ornament. It was created by Nat Suarez following the activation of SCP-001 (S. D. Locke's Proposal), and wished for their work to live on by allowing survivors to learn about them.

The obelisk would fall into a portal, transporting it above the Vikos Gorge, causing it to fall and shatter at the bottom. This performance was meant to offend the deities, with the obelisk engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphics defiling Gaia, after the artist's was screwed over by his patron deity abandoning him, but Zeus hijacked the performance by masquerading as the obelisk in order to have his way with Mother Nature.

Trivia[]
- The group Are We Cool Yet? was originally created by PoorYoric, now known as tunedtoadeadchannel, as a mockery to the disliked users of the SCP site who wrote edgy and pointless action stuff on the site. The name "Are We Cool Yet?" was derived from a context of a overwhelmed bully trying in a whiney way to stop their victim, who decided to fight back, by asking if they were cool with each other.
- Are We Cool Yet? is largely influenced by the Dada art movement which is about the rejection of reason and logic, instead using nonsensical themes in art.
- SCP-1800 was a reference to the misogynistic and squicky ideals of many surrealists, more specifically the Black Dahlia murder in which Elizabeth Short was murdered and her body was turned into a twisted and sadistic form of art.
- Characters like Ruiz Duchamp, Joey Tamlin and Arsehole were actually created as player avatars for the SCP wiki users in one of their roleplay sites, the now retired SCP-RP, with Duchamp being played by user Randomini (the writer of "The Cool War"), Arsehole played by Drewbear and Tamlin played by AdminBright. The Tamlin House used to be its own SCP Foundation RP site which revolved around a interdimensional hub that connected to every reality. Pico Wilson appears to have been based on Gamzee Makara from Homestuck.
- In "The Cool War", the real life artists Banksy and Robbo are featured as being aware of AWCY?
- In "The Leak" forum thread the author of SCP-1490, Accelerando, stated that the people that approached SCP-1490, a boy who can transform people into animal sculptures, were members of AWCY? who thought that the boy would fit their group, but in the end they deemed him and his art as not enough. On the same thread, Ophite who wrote SCP-1272 stated that the anomaly was actually an AWCY? artifact. ChazzK who wrote SCP-1005 stated that if AWCY? became aware of SCP-1005 then they would do anything to try and claim it.
- Although Are We Cool Yet? is the most well known group revolving around anomalous art, or anart for short, it is by no means the only faction that dwells in it as the concept of anart predates and expands beyond AWCY? as seen in the tales "Metacritique 2: Anomalous Art", "A Study of Anomalous Art" and "Anart Lecture Caught inbetween a Dying Riverside Tree and a Discarded Campus Bench".
- Fellow anartists like Jakeob Aldon, Finnegan, and Agent Navarro detest the AWCY?, with Navarro disliking the group because their work was "too normal to be Dada, and too shit to be anything else".
- In the tale "The Huron Carol", AWCY? was compared to the real-life group Anonymous.
- In 2021, an unrelated group began using the name of the SCP group when sharing blueprints of 3D printed arm modifications. PoorYoric addressed this issue on the site and expressed disgust at this act, demanding that the group stop using the name for their actions.
- In the universe of SCP-6001 where the Compendium, a benevolent amalgam organization of different GoIs, took over the world and declared worldwide peace with all anomalies, Are We Cool Yet? known as the Artists Cultural Collective was one of the GoIs that made up the Compendium.
