My idea for a MFP movie goes like that: typical suburban family decides to go to a trip on there. While the trip they go camping and the typical rebellious teen that has a ton of sense more than her parents nope the fuck out of that and says nope nuh huh I am staying in the surface. Maybe the small kid is also (understandably) scared of "going into the monster" and the parents lecture the teen but then let her on the surface facility with the kid while they go walking in the entrails of that beast. Teen says they're crazy but stays there. Parents cry about her ruining a perfectly good July 4th holiday.

Cue to montage of parents being deep there when tremors start to shake everything and teen and kid having to withstand fleeing the surface facility when the tremors begun and maybe even lost each other. Teen calls parents and parents keep trying to call the kids but no luck until they find one of those scary blue phones. They have a few words before all eletric energy is cut and teen is all cut from parents.

The rest of the movie is simply playing people going crazy due to contact to gastric ejecta and teen trying to find the younger siblings amidst chaos+ the three intrapit creatures wrecking havoc after being rudely thrown up into the hostile world. The end is just the teen and the sibling meeting again, but tremors continue. After that it's just the news of that thing waking up and causing chaos and about the park closong down. It closes with Trevor (creator) asking this now grown up teen about what happened to try to put together how this place worked. His room is full of stuff from the park. The teen hands him a shirt that's in perfect state of the 2007 july 4th disaster. Trevor thanks and tries to say sorry for her parents but she stosp him because anyone that was dumb enough to climb into hell shouldn't be pitied. Trevor nods and they part ways. Film closes with trevor overseeing a collection of stuff to ve ready to descend into the flesh pit again because this gives a nice cliffhanger and I mean, what would complete a special interest better than visiting the site it all happened

You know I actually messaged the creator of the mysterious flesh pit when I first saw stuff from the blog. It was like “This is some of the most intricately detailed, thoroughly thought out, and absolutely riveting things I’ve ever seen. I am on awe of your dedication and skill. Unfortunately it is also the most horrible thing I have ever seen. Fantastic job.” And they responded “Yes that was the intended effect. Thank you.” Also: there is a Chilis in the park because they were inspired by the mini chilis you see in airports and stuff. They were pretty cool. Btw have they released some new stuff I haven’t seen yet?

The creator accepts questions from fans, and every few months he answers a bunch at a time. I prefer the QNAs over the rest of the blog because they go into much more detail than the regular posts of old park signs and company memos and material salvaged from the 2007 incident.

I'm also a big fan of the maps

Gumption is a fictional county that encompasses parts of the real world counties of Sterling and Tom Green (no relation to the actor)

The very nature of the permian basin superorganism means that it has never been seen above the surface, but my absolute favorite addition to the entire canon is from the most recent QNA where the author finally reveals what the damn thing looks like

This image is described in universe as an artists impression of what it might look like if it woke up and breached, but I'm willing to bet this is more or less accurate. The superorganism is in its own fictional phylum, but you can see that it's clearly designed to resemble echinoderms and mollusks; it's a big ass starfish with a clamlike mantle on top, lots of tubed feet and radial eyespots, and there's evidence it may be extraterrestrial because the fossilized remains of a similar superorganism were discovered by a Venus probe.

I've submitted a couple questions to the creator in the hopes he'll pick mine for the next QNA

Did the protrusions that burst from the surface in 2007 ever sink back below, or do they remain exposed to this day?

If the superorganism spans hundreds of miles outside the borders of Gumption and the defunct national park, what would stop anyone in the surrounding counties from digging down disturbing it themselves? I guess digging through hundreds of meters of rock is difficult, but surely there would be more than one company in the region that would want to take advantage of the superorganism.

We know roughly what shape it is from seismological data (as seen from the earthquake warning in the second map), and we know roughly how deep it extends from boreholes

Assuming I've read this image correctly, the superorganism is about 30km at its thickest point near the center, and tapers out as you travel further down its arms, though the second and third boreholes from the right show that there are deepers layers of tissue below the main body. From the surface, it goes rock, organism, rock, organism, rock, so there are limbs below the main limbs, or maybe the main limb is actually just the mantle and the lower tissue is the limb itself. I don't know, and that's what I love about it; we still have so much to learn!

The Permian Basin Superorganism waking up after a lil nap and finding out all the shit Anodyne left inside its guts:

The Permian Basin Superorganism is ground meat

Mystery Flesh Pit Zoobiology My Beloved

Mystery Flesh Pit store gives us Abyssal Copepod plushies challenge

But yes I was thinking about the *very* real possibility of MFPNP's gift shop selling plushies of the fauna found within the superorganism and then I. Sketched a cute looking plushie of the Abyssal Copepod and now I need one

went to the mystery meat cave to get some T and all i got was T (as previously mentioned)

still going with the thought that floory is somehow connected to the mystery flesh pit

July 4th 2007: *rains*

The Permian Basin Superorganism:

In the early 1970s, prior to the involvement of either the Anodyne Corporation or the National Park Service, exploration of the Mystery Flesh Pit was a crude and arduous exercise undertaken by local agriculture & oil field workers. These young men, many of whom possessed no formal training in caving, improvised a variety of methods to aid in these early missions of discovery. An early attempt to mechanize the task of crawling through the viscera of the fleshscape took the form of field modified work trucks. Like the surviving GMC C/K truck shown here (formerly on display within the Upper Visitor Center), these jury-rigged vehicles lacked standardized designs and were highly experimental in nature. Though lacking the safety and articulation features common to later purpose-built machines such as the Grumman-produced Internal Anatomy Vehicle, these simple trucks were relatively instrumental in early exploration efforts to survey the Permian Basin Superorganism, with two or three surviving in service well into the 1980s.

I notice that there's a sudden insurgence of statements from... Elsewhere, for the lack of a better word. Not from this universe, but, thanks to the crack in reality, other universes. I managed to fish out some more of these statements. The main color should indicate which entity is the most present at that statement.

Shut In - Statement of Sunny, surname not given, regarding four years spent in isolation (OMORI - Sunny; Lonely, Spiral, Dark (a bit))

Devil’s Footprints - Statement of Shinra Kusakabe, regarding the supposed loss of his family (Fire Force - White Clads; Desolation)

Big Boo’s Haunt - Statement of Luigi Martinetti, regarding a mansion that he won from a lottery (Luigi's Mansion - The Mansion in general; Dark, End)

Meat Grinder - Statement of Yuji Itadori, regarding one of several events in Shibuya, Tokyo on October 31st, 2018, and the demon residing within him (Jujutsu Kaisen - Ryomen Sukuna; Slaughter, Desolation)

Earth is Blue - Statement of the entity calling himself ‘Major Tom’, regarding his experience as an astronaut and outer space itself (David Bowie - Major Tom; Vast)

Tighter and Tighter - Statement of Owaki, surname not given, regarding the geographical features of Mount Amigara (The Enigma of Amigara Fault - Mount Amigara; Buried)

Impostor - Statement of R.J. MacReady, regarding his time on a research lab in the Antarctic (The Thing - The Thing; Stranger, Flesh)

Black Blood - Statement of Maka Albarn, regarding the increasingly concerning behavior of her ex-classmate (Soul Eater - Crona Gorgon; Spiral, Web)

Immanis Colosseus - Anonymous statement, regarding a national park that was closed down and its contents (Mystery Flesh Pit National Park - Permian Basin Superorganism; Flesh)

Refraction - Anonymous statement, regarding evolution and mutation (Annihilation - The Shimmer; Extinction)

Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's simply the Mother of Puppets spinning a thread onto the story's fabric, as spiders are meant to. I hope these may be of interest, archivist

Happy Fourth of July everypony! On this day in 2007 the Permian Basin Superorganism Natural Preserve experienced a catastrophic disaster which resulted in over 700 casualties! Stay safe out there!

ok so since the mystery flesh pit national park is in texas, and cowboys are also in Texas probably, at least one cowboy has visited the permian basin superorganism (sorry, my various hyperfixations are colliding in my brain and there’s nothing i can do to stop it)

Mystery Flesh Pit National Park but instead of The Permian Basin Superorganism it's SCP 7376-B.

OP's blorbos round 1 poll 12: The Mystery Flesh Pit from Texas vs Hermes from Greek Mythology!

Details under cut:

Mystery flesh pit:

The Permian Basin Superorganism, AKA the Mystery Flesh Pit, is a massive (like basically city sized) animal underneath the permian basin area of Texas. It used to be a national park, until the disaster in 2007. Ive been trying and failing to find collectable merch, since in 2007 I was in kindergarten hundreds of miles away. and like, im not like, a militant animal rights guy but it makes me deranged to think about the way the park operated and the containment stuff they've done to make it safe now. Like, could it feel the mining operations? Was it aware that there were people in there? Was it in pain? Is it now? I wish I could bring it 324723489234 tanker trucks of chicken soup and a very big tylenol. It's my humungo blorbo beneath the sands. It's also fictional.Psych!

Hermes the greek god:

Saw statue of twink in fruity little wingèd sandals at art museum on school trip, promptly became Abnormal. Dressed up as him one halloween.

I'm concerned about the animal welfare at Mystery Flesh Pit National Park tbh. Treating the Permian Basin Superorganism like a tourist attraction and building infrastructure inside it just isn't good for the animal. Just let it sleep in peace
