To understand SCP-38 12, you need to understand the realistic model of "recursive stack" proposed by Dr. scranton in his article. This model says that reality has different levels, and each level is a multiverse. What does this mean? In a sense, this means that scranton assumes that no universe is really "real". Because the SCP Foundation knew that this was just a fictional story in another universe, they began to wonder, "How can we say that the universe above us is not a fictional universe in another larger universe?"

So the recursive model was born. It believes that every fictional narrative is completely true, and this narrative exists under the "mother narrative". It's more like a pyramid than a pile, really.

I am not good at explaining things. Let's take the TV series Friends as an example. Between us and our "friends", there are three observable stacked universes. First, the baseline, our universe, and then the stack below us, that is, the universe of friends. In Friends (if you forget), the role of Joey is an actor in the fictional TV series Our Days. This program is also a bunch of friends in the universe.

So SCP-38 12 is a realistic bender created by djKaktus, which can "top" these stacks. This is not a meta-comment, this is the real SCP. SCP was founded by Kaktus, and his goal is to be an all-powerful reality bender, who can climb these stacks. This kind of knowledge makes 38 12 insane, and makes him confused between reality and fiction, because for him, they are the same thing. Literally.

In appendix 38 12.5, Kaktus tried to destroy 38 12, but failed. He left a note to the foundation to apologize.

In a word, 38 12 is beyond our own reality, so it is more "real" than anything in our reality. In addition, there is no way to know how many layers 38 12 has in our reality, and there is no way to know whether it will continue to rise further and further in our reality. Therefore, for 38 12, any other existence, whether fictional or real, is no more dangerous to a person in the real world than the role of Ross in Friends.

DjKaktus has written many SCPs, most of which involve more profound or existential topics than your usual articles. But 38 12, as a very interesting way of looking at reality, occupies a special position in my heart.
