*MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR THE SCP TALE The Scarlet Truth! IF YOU HAVE NOT READ IT YET, PLEASE DO SO! ITS AMAZING!*
HOLY SHIT
THIS TALE FUCKING SLAPS!!!
YES GST PISSED AT THE FOUNDATION DAD, TELL THEM WHATS FOR
I LOVE how the Scarlet King is characterized in this tale!
HE'S AS EVERY BIT AS PISSED AS HE SHOULD AND WOULD BE!
THIS LINE ESPECIALLY GOES HARD:
‘Do you know how many children the Foundation sacrifices each year? I do. The fact that the number is greater than one is all that it should take for each of you to turn those guns on your masters back at your Sites. But you won’t, I know this. I know these things because I also know there is one thing about my nature that you have never understood.’
The boy placed his bleeding hand over his eyes and chuckled softly.
‘All of your sacrifices are also in my name, whether any of you intend them to be.’
ALSO THE FACT THAT THE SCARLET KING IS A KID IN THIS TALE ALSO FITS MY AU
BECAUSE HE CAN SHAPESHIFT
SO HE MOST LIKELY TOOK THE FORM A BOY TO GET HIS POINT ACROSS
The Scarlet King isn't Scarlet because he painted himself in the blood of the innocent.
He's Scarlet because others painted him in the blood of the innocent.
He's covered in blood because that is what brought him to life. The spilling of the blood of the innocent.
And he just wants it to stop.
