July 26 - Evil Worm

"You haven't been working, you've been doing your stupid memes and just f'ing around."

~ Satan (South Park S27E01)

Item #: SCP-4547-Ω - Evil Worm
Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-4547-Ω is believed to have left the surface of SCP-4547 during early colonization attempts.  All personnel are instructed to monitor arid and politically unstable regions for abnormal behavioral shifts in high-ranking officials.

Description:
SCP-4547-Ω is a parasitic annelid approximately 4.2 cm in length, pale in coloration, with rudimentary oral structures. The entity exhibits a preference for hosts with plentiful fat reserves, like a bloated cow.

Upon infection, SCP-4547-Ω fuses with the host's brainstem, erasing ethical reasoning and initiating a feedback loop of stupidity.  Autopsies confirm total erasure of moral frameworks within 48 hours. SCP-4547-Ω does not kill its host; it hollows them. 

Migratory patterns indicate that SCP-4547-Ω can survive in arid terrestrial environments and easily move between hosts undetected.  Correlation between SCP-4547-Ω sightings and rapid sociopolitical collapse events is >92%.  Confirmed infection requires immediate site sterilization.

Addendum 4547-Ω-A:
"There's only one rule: if you hear it speak, you're already too late. Burn it all." – Field Commander ███

April 22 - Earthworm

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

I can't see the official release date of when the worm instructions were posted in the Isopresso members channel, but I have a sneaking suspicion it might have been April 1.

That said, rosewood certainly makes for a great earthworm color and looking at these as actual worms in the image, they're kind of spot on.

Some facts I learn feel a bit dirty to share, so I'll just say I had no idea that's what you called the "face" of an earthworm.

April 20 - Wörmungandr

“It’s the end of the day, but it feels like dawn, and a new beginning. It comes to me that both twilight periods are, in fact, symmetrical events on opposite sides of midnight, a cycle of endless creation and destruction, an Ouroboros.”

~ Florian Armas, The Shamans at the End of Time

This is another one of those balloons that I had to build to get out of my brain, a blind worm eating it's tail, and really what better day to post it? 

This idea centered on the idea that Jormungandr doesn't particularly do anything significant before Ragnarok other than hold on and then let go of his tail.  He is not a catalyst, waking him doesn't start the event, he is nothing more than a meeting alert message.  So why does he have to be big enough to circle the world - was that to spice up a rather bland myth?   Wouldn't it be more convenient to have him centrally located?  How close to his head and tail on the Earth would you have to be to even notice it was time?

January 18 - Worms

Last night was another Steve Klein webinar (link) - this one featuring one of my favorite balloon artists (even though I say that a lot!) - Eric Weinstein.  Eric has a few PDFs that quickly became my favorite "give away" balloons, like Gabrielle Hodge - he works primarily from a heart base, so lets call him the King of Hearts. 

This face has a great neck attachment, I can see it used for a bunch of other things...
