I'm so glad the Scongo meme is finally dead. It was never funny. Rip in piss for crimes against humor.

i actually completely dodged the scongo hype train by dipping out of the fandom for a few years in college, but i know vaguely of him - i’ve only heard the legends of @scongo through his fandom wiki entry, which left me with more questions than answers. i think i saw scongo on one of those doctor who lore icebergs, but i can’t remember what level…. i want to watch a Down-The-Rabbit-Hole-style docufilm about the origins, impact, and legacy of-

BY GOD, ITS SCONGO WITH A STEEL CHAIR !!!!!

#okay but forreal i know nothing about scongo lol #but in my research i discovered that a few of my treasured mutuals were scongo stans in 2020 #scongo stans? scongolians? anyway. your sins are forgiven i guess #scongo #doctor who

Goncharov (1973) is just Scongo for people that don’t watch Doctor Who tbh

tbh you can really see the goncharov references in scongo’s writing. you can tell that the dr who writers were really influenced by the film at the time

surprised to see a movie like Goncharov getting so popular on the website that found the moral nuance of into the scongoverse to be unmanageable

Okay, officially my favorite part of Goncharov mania is the discovery that the doctor who fanbase made their own Goncharov years ago

Scongo truly is the best villain

it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...

i haven’t seen a scongo post in months #justiceforscongo

you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...

is there anyone that’s considered “bad” to like? i don’t think I feel this way about any characters

ship you've unwillingly come around to

gotta be whoffaldi. i used to want nothing to do with it and now i must admit they are in love. not in the way that you can write sweet fanfic about but in the “die with whoever comes after me” way

topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

the obvious answer is showrunner discourse bc it has been exactly the same for over ten years. as for a non-obvious answer… honestly i don’t engage with discourse enough to have a better answer

common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

“tHe wRiTinG iS baD” as the most common critique of any particular era or showrunner. that literally means nothing. use your words and explain what you don’t like

#asks #where did all the scongo fans go

[scongos-for-chongo]

shadow dub was so great that i’m breaking my 4 year hiatus to shout “FUCK YEAH RYAN” to the heavens and then return to my cave

#scongo blogs #real time fandub games #such an amazing dub and amazing va work from everyone involved #released on iggy friday no less! #not to be sentimental on my abandoned sillyguy bit blog #but been going through a prolonged rough patch #and rtfgames has been such a source of comfort for me #so if anyone in the gang sees this thank you so much for the work you do #:) <3

I want extensive Scongo lore, I realize that I probably won't understand much bc I'm not intumately familiar with classic who or EU stuff, but Scongo sounds too iconic

Omg you're in for a wild ride and I am the perfect person to ask. This post probably won't be 100% complete tho bc its 6am and I am omw to work but I'll include some sources so you can become a real Scongler (Scongo scholar, not a real term I just made that up)

So Scongo (the best villain) is a fake, made up Dr Who character that was made up by the members of the TARDISposting Facebook group in 2017. The image is admin Joe Brennans friend Lenny but his face is made all weird:

The gig was basically to troll people of the main Dr Who Facebook group, many of which were elitist and kept calling people who didn't know every single classic who episode "fake fans", by claiming they are fake fans for not knowing about the iconic 60s villain Scongo.

Similar to tumblrs new Goncharov meme, TARDISposters were making up fake stories to go along with this fake villain to more successfully gaslight normal fans into thinking he is real. Quick side note in case you are wondering why hes called Scongo. It's just a silly name that they came up with that sounds Dr Whoey, it's not deep.

Sometime, I don't know when, they also made up Scongos brother/lover (no doubt a reference to the master, who writers tried to make the doctor's brother some time) the Wibbler, using a different picture of Lenny and a different effect on his face:

Now therere few iconic details about Scongo that no Scongo fan should be ignorant about, like his powerful Bongos, for example.

During Scongos Genesis (referring to both the creation period of Scongo as well as the iconic 80s episode) people were making fan art and shit, and the TARDISposting admins even recorded an audio drama called the Age of Scongo.

Another iconic thing to be aware about is the amount of Doctor Wbo actors who were asked to say Scongo is the best villain at cons, of which Colin Baker was the most enthusiastic imo. You can see all of the actors up to 2020 in Joes Scongo Video, which is a good resource to just watch entirely too.

Around spring 2018, I believe, TARDISposters got tired of the joke and it kinda faded and lay dormant for a while.

Fast forward to 2020, Scongo is suddenly back again. Many new memes are coming out (you gotta understand that lot of Scongo stuff is tied to the kinds of memes that were also going on in TARDISposting at the time, which is why someone asked Salad Man from The Woman Who Fell To Earth to say Scongo is the best villain, for example), there was even talks of an Age of Scongo sequel, which would turn out to be kinda hard since one of the admins who played i think Nardole in the first part? got kicked for being a weird pervert who sends gross messages to female members (something that got memed endlessly as well at his expense and was pretty funny).

Me, a member of Facebook and TARDISposting since just after the Scongo meme died and who was aware of him for a long time by then, I was thrilled by this and immediately introduced Scongo to my Discord server "looms".

This would be the start of the best era for the then only about 3 months old looms Discord server, as well as a pretty funny era for TARDISposting, with a few big problems for them which are also pretty funny to me.

So lets start with the new stuff on the Facebook side of things. A Scongo redbubble shop was opened, including breathtaking Scongle merch such as a bedsheet and a coffe to-go cup. There was also a TARDISposting Discord without rules that got, iirc, immediately spammed with scat porn so that rules were instated and memes were made about the ban of said material. Joe Brennan even joined the looms discord and is still there but hasn't written since 2020.

Simultaniously looms was taking the idea of Scongo and going crazy with it. We thought it unacceptable that the AO3 tag for Scongo was empty so we filled it. We made our own contributions to the Scongoverse which TARDISposting doesn't even know about, using a member of the server and turning them into Chad, a being of ant-time (as a parody of Zagreus, a real Dr Who character and being of anti-time) and the CEO of Chad Books, the publisher of Longbooby (Lungbarrow). There's a lot of silly stuff connected to this, lots of lore in the confines of the looms discord and it was a big time for looms social media but this is about Scongo, not looms.

There are 2 things that resulted from looms' contribution that you need to know about. The first is the Scongo era coming to Tumblr, something which we back then called the Scongo Renaissance. The second is the downfall of the TARDISposting Facebook group.

See, 2020 was a big year for transphobia, especially in Britain. TARDISposting was handling it as well as they could, kicking all the tories for example, which lead to a knock off tory TARDISposting and it's all very funny and pathetic. But this destableized TARDISposting. The critical hit would be served by my good bestie @factkinparadoxx posting the following meme:

It immediately sparked discussions, a lot of people reported one another leading finally to the banning of TARDISposting and Joe Brennan for terrorism (? Yeah.)

I personally was asleep through the whole ordeal, waking to only this post at the top of my facebook timeline and a broken link to the TARDISposting group, as it was no longer there. Here's a message from the admin to Clem that I found while looking for the meme that killed TARDISposting just now:

So following the death of TARDISposting a new group was made and there were some Scongo memes but after it died a lot of people didn't find the new group and after a while I stopped using Facebook so I can't give you any updates on Scongle Facebook.

The recent Goncharov meme, however, is opening a door to what I'd like to describe as the Scongo Enlightenment, a perfect time for Scongo to make a comeback on tumblr.

If you would like to know more about Scongo you may consult the Scongo page on TARDISposting wiki or the only archived version of TARDISposting before the disaster that i could find rn. There is also probably a live and active TARDISposting on Facebook right now if you look for it. But don't feel like you need to know any Scongo "canon" to participate. Just make shit up.

Any other true Sconglers can reblog this with additions or iconic Scongo memes that I didn't care to look for atm. Sconge on.
