One thing about getting recs from your dash is you never really know what you're getting into! So Malevolent podcast, let's go.
My dude how are you not tripping on *everything* I would be all over the place
Jesus I hope you guys don't try and drive how are you going to handle that? Oh. Okay.
I'm here for the eldritch entities, yeah, sure, but HOW ARE THERE THIS MANY CABS, GODDAMN
Arthur buddy you are averaging a kill an hour here-- I kind of hope you were an asshole so that I don't feel bad for your obvious impending doom (and body count)
VA you may theoretically be in MA but you are still obviously British XD
This is like listening to two people play Amnesia the Dark Descent where one can see the screen and the other with the controller can't, which is . . . so far so obvious because Cthulhu times.
This is extremely streamlined, so that means literally EVERYONE has a finger in eldritch bullshit
I would actually kind of like more time skips, make it less obvious This is a Speedrun
Time to commit some spectacularly bad ideas!
"I can't read that language but I CAN read the eldritch horror glyphs"
Arthur all "Yes that seems legitimate and exactly like how my day is going, why not."
I'm shocked that the fully expected car crash was not their fault (Also if this is 1934 the car probably had fuck all safety features he would be THROUGH THE WINDOW)
Surprise accidental baby acquisition! PUT IT BACK PUT IT BACK
. . . Baby crying noises make my kitten very interested/concerned, huh
"The black goat comes *CRASH*" "What was that?!" I'm going to take a wild guess that it's the black goat, my dude.
When the eldritch entity thinks things are bad ideas PLEASE LISTEN YOU ASSHAT
OH LORD STRANGER DANGER STRANGER DANGER
What the actual fuck, dude. (Unasked for exposition) . . . No now you do see how that's worse?
I'm chanting along with the eldritch entity all "GO GO GO GET OUT"
My dude your self-preservation skills are *lamentable*
The eldritch entity all "Holy shit I am literally Satan Take the Wheel and I have the better ideas *how* are you this much a mess"
That was legitimately alarming thank you for the horror!
Eldritch entity giving its meat puppet pep talks and "You can do this, c'mon, go, buddy go!"
Time for dismemberment agogo!
Less flying limbs than expected but made up for it with pyromania
Thank you for actually having some suspicion even if you have no self-preservation
Is it really a horror podcast if there wasn't trauma-induced coma?
"And did you remember that murder we committed, yeah, yeah"
"So I can see how I can get more control but how about you NOT DO THAT"
Long and thin, would you perhaps say, SLENDER
"WHAT DID I JUST SAY"
Oh those are not good sounds they are not good sounds at all
HELLO NEW FRIEND
Those were some really fun NOT GOOD sounds
All right, hit the end of episode 5, time to stop for the evening~
Don't ask questions you don't want answers to, Arthur. Delicious.
Oh, it correlated because Arthur just got monched on
"Why are we naked" NOT A GOOD QUESTION TO HAVE
Oh the floor is screaming that's casual
I mean, at least you're in nice digs?
Mmm. *side-eyes* You're wearing a bow-tie, I can't trust you
Why does he know your name?
Arthur all "do I look like I can buy the place"
Okay, good, Arthur also skeptical AF
"If we stay here we die" 8 ball says "Most likely yes"
I can absolutely see this as a video game sequence with the lightning and blackness
"What made you like him?" Yellow, you bein' transparent
Welcome to being the voice of reason, Yellow!
You think he's not going to notice the cold and the rain from the window opening? But better than being found!
"NOT HELPING"
Yellow "MAYBE IF YOU WERE AFRAID YOU WOULDN'T DO THIS BS"
Time for Yellow to be all ". . . I cannot believe you are doing this and not dying"
Y'all want to take a minute to get the star-footed bestiary deets?
Heart to hearts in a storage room~ aww, Yellow trying hard
"A levitating massive black stone" - thaaaat's the mountain guys
And a secret door!
Oh you guys gonna walk straight back into this guy
Who is Older Than He Looks, of course
Toot toot magic flute~ to control the invisible monster I'm guessing
And you have now activated the magic security alarm system
Ah we meet the owner of the femur?
Larson absolutely follows the Classic Villain playbook
WELP you took longer to get the point of the game, Arthur
"Wasn't" - I am going to guess that didn't hold super long
Cord is going to be a garrotte, I bet
OH but not the way I expected, yikes
Ohhhhh okay that's fucked
And then he was dinner. . . but not without some EYAGH
"Did I interrupt something?"
"I didn't peg you for a Catholic" *wheeze* that's a hilarious way of saying "I thought you were a cultist."
Yeah this guy is a creep
Arthur you are slow to get what I thought was your opening line
Okay that's . . . *grimace face*
Ohhh boy
And we hit Arthur's berserk button / breaking point, Arthur is going to fucking kill you
Ding ding ding, I am a winner
Yellow, you are being a dick and Arthur is breaking down apparently
And now we have an elegy for John
OH OH That is a Development!!
"Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?!"
And now back to your regularly scheduled shit show! Petition for Arthur to have an hour or two of breaking down crying before passing out in exhaustion.
"You have your hand back!" Arthur, alarmingly happy to lose autonomy for company
Please remember the magic flute if you still have it
"You look like shit" Thanks, buddy, glad to see you too
"It was you without the -you-"
Arthur all "I have a man to kill."
You found the cultist's temple!
Are you sure you didn't just hit another mirror
Time for panic attack!
And John gets to be the moral voice
*side-eyes* Wow that honey moon period was short
"I guess" . . . Mmm that was not super positive
Box puzzle!
How many people have the Larsons chucked down here?
. . . Or they live here now
"We never actually tried waiting"
Time to talk~~~
You are doing whatever the opposite of back-handed compliments are
Arthur, my dude you are not good at this, but that is probably because you need ALL THE THERAPY
And you are realizing it, that's something
Oh okay he is accruing scars
AND NOW YOU REMEMBER THE FLUTE
One of them, one of them~ Introduce yourself to your new neighbors
Dinner bell has been rung!
At least that's relatively quick???
Time to hide in the pantry~
Oh we're back to this again
I get the parallel they're making here but I'm also sort of like . . . how are we expected to believe they completely swapped morals?
*eyes Arthur* ALL the therapy
"I'm not angry I'm disappointed"
Arthur I would also like you get your shit together
Go back into the estate to find your bag and the flute?
You are definitely getting your cardio in today
That's not quiet, John
The lighter is definitely Arthur's own talisman - which does explain why Killing it With Fire worked so well. I do kinda wonder if the other magic objects are also coming from individual people
Time for your colonial bullshit to be questioned, Arthur
*pokes Arthur* You need to get your head around the fact you killed someone. Not accidental manslaughter this time, but very deliberately. It wasn't necessarily premeditated murder but you sure as fuck don't have a high ground. And you may very well have caused other people to die.
"Nothing that doesn't come with experience" Or PTSD
"I've only done this to survive" not ALL of it
And that's your problem, Arthur, you need to own that if you're going to kill people or cause them to die by your inaction you need a reason for it, and you need to decide if the reasons are good enough for your morals. And the demon in your head is your Jimminy Cricket right now
~~~Cuuuuuult~~~
Yellow King knows them, that's not great
"Things military" gives you deja vu, hmmm
Arthur, you are not doing a great job of being forthcoming
Yikes that is a way to go
Yeah, John is getting all the psychic damage
"We can go home!" - What do you think is still there four months later?
"I'm okay, are you okay?"
Open the goddamn door Arthur
"Yet" that's worrying
. . . Cain? You be playin?
OPEN THE DOOR, ARTHUR
It's a temple, you idiot
John you are NOT HELPING
. . . And his head exploded, didn't it.
I scream at the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"
"Blackstone" = the floating mountain that people were worshiping and/or the mountain you're literally in right now
. . . That was a switch, Arthur
Yiiiiiiikes, that's a note to end on.
So clearly we've got more story coming, and I am Invested to see where it goes.
I am still frustrated at the see-saw of characterizations, like it's getting fast-forwarded too much to really explain or feel why. Telling not showing, I guess? It does make me think as a writer what's working and what isn't. The creator's getting better at the medium as they go, so I think it's been a really good learning experience.
I was not expecting the update and just saw some frantic screaming in the tag so HOO BOY I am filled with foreboding.
Ohhh dear. Still in divorce mode, and the music is ominous AF. I was kind of betting that John would stop talking, too.
Arthur actually being sneaky, huh, shocking, (Hang on a second, does he class as a bard?!?! He does, doesn't he.)
"Larson isn't worth my humanity." DAMN good line.
Oh this is VERY good characterization, especially after the last ep being so chaotic. Arthur you goddamned hot mess.
Ooh that was squishy noises. And John are you *just* realizing that Arthur is suicidal? YES, YES I GUESS YOU ARE.
And Parker met him when he was in deep deep depression and alcoholism. Oh no. "Not about my. . ." *side-eyes* that did not sound like past, that sounded like present.
"Only a few months ago?" WOOF.
Ohhhh sorry, John, this is your first go at the Short Cut. And Arthur is actually being alarmingly competent.
Malevolent Podcast Screamalong, Part 5??? Eps 15-17
Ooooh hints at traumatic backstory time!
I've got different theories on the back burner for Arthur's kid and/or wife. Would be interesting if Arthur's wife is the one who shoved John in the book and that's part of what changed him
The psuedopod named John can't quite separate from the whole colony huh
Arthur has a bit of trouble with victimization and priorities here
"I miss your method of emotional expression" "I don't."
John all "Maybe you wouldn't be so emotionally constipated if you just had a piano and could compose"
The meatsuit is taking some significant damage so far this ep
I hope you're up to date on your tetanus shots
John we talked about underestimating other eldritch entities
"Oh fuuuuck" "Yes"
Many problems, one solution. *flicks lighter*
Meatsuit really be going through it this time
"That was not a very well thought-out plan" No shit Sherlock
I've been through too many games where ANY resources are useful so watching them bypass loot is like "Noooooooo what are you doing"
BRING ANY WATER YOU HAVE Noooo
"Foolproof" ahahaha no
"What do we do" "Die horribly."
John all ". . . Uh how about not"
Lovely is exactly the right word for it. WORMS WORMS WORMS and that's totally what was on the desk in the boat because eyaaaagh
Arthur trying for the charisma roll!
That did . . . not really work
Each of you guys keep swinging wildly between kill everything-forgive things - and I can't really keep track of any logic behind it
Did y'all not remember your plot quest marker
"I wasn't enough." and John immediately up in arms like "who said that?!"
And you keep swinging between the "Do things / don't do things"
Always always going down
Arthur's turn to do the "Here's some existential terror"
"Can you give me more poems, please?"
Chirpy-thing had better not be evil *hard stare*
Or die horribly. We like chirpy salamander.
Seeing eye-demon is leaving out vital details
Plot points~~~
You guys really could have avoided a lot of that drama if you just threw dignity to the wind and flat-belly-squiggled to reach that
Aaaaand then things continue downward
At least when you're at the bottom there's nowhere to go but up???
It's one of your old friends, a chute!
Meat puppet is really taking a beating lately; you need another Wraith refresh
I would be bitching so bad about the "Quietly!" "You do this quietly!"
100% on Arthur's side of Read The Damn Book. Knowledge!
And that's how we're both going to die in Forbidden Fucked Up Fantasyland
"We're going to do this if it kills us" Mmmmmm not the best thing to say
Oh now you're on team Murder, you guys really do keep swapping
Many problems, one solution!
insert Jason Good Place Bortles gif
And then we get the traumatic backstory!
"I failed, that day" "You won't fail again"
Aw, John taking ownership/protectorship of this sad fucked up human
ohhhhh that doesn't sound good
Every time John does a "no that way" I imagine his left hand hauling Arthur to one side or the other
For once, upwards!
Arthur sorta waivers between low-key suicidal ideation and high key and with that poem reference. . . oof.
When last we left off, I felt like I was watching a talk show where they pulled out the paternity test in front of the audience and then the screaming started.
Just. maybe more Ai Ai Ftaghn screaming here than high-octave outrage
Maybe.
Oh hey we're still hand in unlovable hand in the hell vacation world. "We"
Deeply fraught conversation time! On the black shore of a lake lit by violet like an off-color sunset. Where's my fanart at. You can put John in the reflection of the water, even!
"You found humanity" "I found the absence of you"
"I've changed, baby, you've got to believe me"
backed up by a "LET HIM TRY" *applauds* All right, that's compelling!
"Only the blood is still wet" "NEVERMIND THEN I'll be going!" "Yes that's probably for the best"
Huh, I guess Goth!Shelob fits in here, her camo isn't that bad after all
Arthur was a boyscout!
Is that, perhaps, an eye in the sky. Many different eyes in the sky.
And more of the visual fucking with John's perception
"Two appear before me" *That* is interesting~
"Here take this King in Yellow's egg surely it wouldn't be a bad thing"
Would you consider NOT pissing off the Angry Ent?
Arthur buddy you do not know when to shut up
Oooh skittery legs- rest of the Goth Shelobs?
Oh not Shelobs, Nightstalkers, cool cool cool
"Only when I'm out of options, same as anyone else" XD XD XD
Ohhh hey it was a duet on the piano
Awwww co-dependency
OH OKAY that changed topics rapidly
Has anyone considered using the MacGuffin y'know instead?!
Ohhhhhh please please please don't Not A Fan Of This
NOPE NOPE NOPE
bonding through sharing a little self-mutilation What the Actuuuual Fuck
NOPE NOPE NOPE
"I am here"
Ohhhhh that's a nope nope nope nope nope
That definitely uh, puts a spin on what the fuck the trader did. It traded.
Time to shift realms!
And now you remember the MacGuffin!
Arthur are you now wondering if you're being narcissistic "Is it you or just more of . . . me"
Arthur all "This is just temporary we're still going to split eventually" and John all "Mrrrrrrrrr" Sorry, John, you've had longer to get attached.
Are y'all gonna jump down the chute/hole just because it's in front of you, again
"Wonderful, let's leave" I am with you on that one!
"You know we don't HAVE to kill everything" *side-eyes*
*eyebrow raised* Y'all can't get five minutes without drama
This is part of why I would appreciate time-skips, because it would give time for things to marinate so it feels more natural
Are you sure that's a person and not a scarecrow
Or a kite???
Your charisma score is abysmal isn't it
Arthur my dude you are DEEPLY emotionally unbalanced
I like these guys, lichs are a lot less perturbing than anything else we've hit
Black Goat's minions are more polite than most
Okay Arthur made one charisma save, amazing!
"Are you ready?" "Unrelentingly" *SNORT*
Ahh plot threads at last
"You still need mortal things, right. Right?" ". . . Maybe"
I love that it's unsure if Arthur is just being a stubborn driven little shit or if he might actually be sliding even more sideways from human
And break before episode 15, because I should actually accomplish things today in addition to backseat driving this man's eldritch trashfire romance.
Roll out of hospital bed, defeat a demon, stagger out into the morning streets with a complete lack of medical discharge-- yep this fits the genre
Ep title: "The Hill." Could it, perhaps, be a Silent Hill?
Let's just assume John-the-Passenger is providing some convenient CON boosts
And either John gave him control of the hand back or this impromptu jam session is a lot more impressive than it first seems
This hits me every time but you guys did not look into the currency value for the supposed time period and I'm just all ". . . well it's already an AU anyways"
(Otherwise SOMEONE lost a hat with like several years' wages in it and I hope those were smaller bills or Arthur is going to be one even-more-conspicuous MFer)
Speaking of: did you really just waltz into a store and ask for a big ass gun, ammo, flashlights, and a crowbar. Did you. Really.
WITH NO ID AND NO STORY
Could you *at least* have presented that in a less suspicious way!
Jon from TMA and Arthur solidarity in being absolute shit at telling lies
Actually they probably had f' all ID requirements in the time period
And then *everyone* is shady/eldritch as fuck! Woo!
You might mention the murder as a reason to be buying a gun?!
Writer nitpick: this is just personal opinion but I like my bullshit to feel grounded, so there's a solid baseline of reality vs Everything Else. . . but it could also be an entirely valid approach to have the narrator being increasingly unreliable and detached from reality because: Cthulhu.
OH delightful it's Creepy Old Lady, round two
*sounds of distant death* Arthur, "Time to be a good Samaritan and die horribly!"
This clearly is going to end well!
"Everyone is *wrong*" YOU DON'T SAY, JOHN
I am waiting for the partner to Come Back Wrong and for that to be why he's not being charged with murder yet because there was not actually a corpse - aside from the possibly-possessed janitor
Arthur: "This is not fast-forwarding fast enough for me!"
John: "You can only trust me, Arthur."
Time to go find your boat with a head in it!
Okay, fine, any boat can have a severed head in it, just give it time. I believe in you, boys
Just two bros. In a boat. Singing love tunes. Chilling 0 ft apart, because one's possessing the other.
John. Eldritch Buddy. You want to sound a little less like a sociopath there, dude
"This is fucked up, clearly we're in the right place."
*squints* ancient graveyard . . . in the US. . . there for centuries . . . why is it European. . .
did you just get suckered into being the new lighthouse keeper
Rude to go tearing up someone's floorboards!
*facepalm* you are not final girl material, Arthur
just got the job and quit again that quickly, for shame
I hope you're prepared for a long swim
Eldritch entity you swing wildly between anger management issues and "Deep breaths, try not to panic"
"Ohhhh Arthur" that's alarmingly sensual
"No part of you is lost to me" *side-eyes*
One thing that's noteworthy to me is that they're not comfortable with silence, that everything has to happen back-to-back, no pauses. Be more confident, linger uncomfortably in your
"I wonder if the voice he heard is this" OR JOHN YOU DIPSHIT
Time for the next cult hideout!
So the mansion was the Black Goat's, who's in residence here?
Oh that's who, howdy, ma'am
and then they find the homemade porn!
Is no one else concerned with the quantity of A names
. . . are you about to become a triple occupancy?
Tentacles! For everyone!
Good times when your eldritch beastie bestie has a mental time out
"Or we could kill her"
You actually took a surprisingly long time to get to the murder plan, you okay?
Uh, eldritch bestie, you should have raised your alarm earlier if you had concerns
Trading off murder sociopath duties, good times
My dude you are definitely not coming across as the most hinged of individuals
. . . this would be an interesting time to just panic and let Satan take the wheel now that Satan doesn't want to drive
exactly 0 people surprised who was responsible for the first death
"Oh this is going to end well" Glad we're on the same page again, bestie
"You must be this much bitch to get admittance" "WELL I GUESS WE'RE BOTH GOING AREN'T WE"
I will be more surprised if any of these people live than the obvious alternative
*looks up from filing nails* Oh, they're dead? Smeared across every surface in the room? You don't say
"Maybe someone's still alive" Do we need to go through this again? Not genre savvy, are we?
Eldritch bestie you are extremely inconsistent, which I suppose ties in well to insanity and gaslighting
"This is our life now" look at that, commitment!
Meat puppet does not enjoy the meaty aspect v much
. . . Why was it so heavy if it was only half?
Ewwwwwww. That will be all.
"did you see it" "DID YOU FORGET I AM BLIND"
Oh, we're doing this again are we
Eldritch bestie you better be paying your rent
Hand in unlovable hand~~~
No really, Lovecraft, what was with all the tentacles
Oh, someone else paid their rent!
I am somewhat amused that everything swears by Christianity aside from the favored F bombs
Right, so this is definitely someone else's playground, eldritch #. . .4?
"We lose guns more than anything else" XD
"It sounded like you" *waving lighter*
And that's Eldritch #5 on the horizon
Time for a screaming head or leviathan maggots?
Eeeeeeey old friend!
Why you lying, why you always be lying
. . . Okay I was worried that was going to be even worse than it was
Aw bestie with domestic daydreams
What's some B&E after a spot of murder?
John did you just make Arthur piss himself over an opossum
A mole-faced possum, you act like you haven't seen one before!
Why you gotta be running from snuffles, what did snuffles ever do to you but SCREEEEEEE
Oh it's you again! Great unhinged minds think alike
And then we're done with ep 10 and time to stop again~
When last we left off, we had done something . . . wild. Something momentous. Something . . . nigh unnatural.
They went up a chute.
Into . . . fuck if we know what.
"We need to be CLOSE and TRUTHFUL!"
(See also: ways to ensure that is not what is going to happen)
And then there's THIS homewrecker
Hrrmmmmm.
Well that escalated quickly.
"You were just the first one dumb enough to read when I asked"
So he DID ask, and Arthur opened the door
Uhh. Uhhhhh.
John. Buddy. You sounding a little Dark Sider over there.
Do y'all really need to drama llama this much all the time???
Is this supposed to be some side-effect of nightmare land or possession?
Oh our homewrecker is a ghost
A sanity restore potion!
If it says someone's out to get you, someone is in fact probably out to get you.
Run, boy, run!
Yeah, John, you really should stop negging Arthur, it's a bad habit.
Frank all "C'mon depressed boy, keep going."
Oh, hey, Arthur, making your own decision!
And then you gotta disappoint me straightaway
Is it just me or is "You want me to give up" the exact opposite vibe from what was happening? They want him to dance to their own tunes, not self-destruct and leave them with nothing.
Arthur, get some sleep or get your shit together.
Yeah that's not a good sign
And not a great sound, either!
This is going swimmingly
There’s probably rewatch value when you know which side is actually lying but not a huge fan of this blatant manipulation. There doesn’t NEED to be conflict and tension every single second. I really kind of want to know if this is a deliberate choice for an effect or just weak writing.
John, you are a classic abuser in this relationship and you need to work on that.
Or this is just Arthur's mind vs himself, which is . . . probably also accurate
Ah, you are in a depression slump
"There is always time for God" *squints* Is this a father or a Father?
"You're going to Hell either way" is NOT a super motivating pep talk, fuck you too, buddy
"Daniel" so not father with a small f, anyways
Welcome to ~~the whirlpool~~
Also known as trauma.
We've got to the "GET OUT, GET OUT" stage, that's . . . good?
Okay so now we get to the trauma processing. Yay?
Do kinda wonder what this bit looked like from John's side of the fence, if he isn't getting a front row seat to the crazy hallucination times, if he's just had Arthur suddenly freeze on him somewhere and stop responding while Shit Descended
Onwards!
Oh hey we've finally got a time skip, 85 days!
"Mr. Faust" XD i just . . . want to imagine that as the item name in inventory
This sounds like very inefficient use of water
I see the time hasn't bonded you much further
"That was one time!" XD
So the progress is that they have established arguments???
*chanting* Go Arthur, Go Arthur, Go Arthur, go, go!
If my life depended on my ability to do one, singular pull up, then . . . I am both deceased and shamed.
Can you spare a sip for a parched soul?
SOMEONE DECENT doing DECENT THINGS, amazing!
jfc you really need those as breaths of fresh air in these things
So a kanna (however you spell that) is possibly a frog-person or possibly a job title. I kinda like the latter myself
Fare thee well, Loric, you progressed the plot and planted a Chekhov rifle
"I can't remember the last time I felt things"
John, you do realize you are riding along a guy who has massively untreated major depression?
"You know I can offer more" . . . Uh. John?
Arthur, have you been bullying the eldritch demon
"No, no I'm not."
You know what that is, that's ~growth~ gif
"Don't PET it, Arthur!" The disgusted sigh XD
Dream truffle pig! XD XD XD
Lily! <3
Oh, Arthur did want to free it, thank god - the "leave it alone" bit worried me
You guys . . . might be making progress?
Three decent things in a row, I feel like we're getting the medpack and save point before the boss battle
"Would you like a waxy vegetable?" XD
Boarpuff! <3 <3 <3
Arthur please don't piss off the ent again
Oh, he was exaggerating for haggling *sets down large rock*
Plot! Significant! Object!!!
Arthur, dude, your guilt is going to kill you quite literally
John all ". . . . . . fuck. Fine."
The next episode title is “The King” so I am going to take a wild guess that’s indeed a boss battle imminent, so that’s all for now. I do kinda wish they'd dig more into how John feels incomplete, have other demon-things treat him as a non-entity. Don't just make them argue, make me FEEL it!
Maybe it's just me being cold and analytical, but I'm not getting the emotional gut punches? Maybe there's more room for emotional attachment in the long form game instead of this condensed highlight reel.
(What does it say about me as a person that I'm like, "The problem with this is that it doesn't hurt enough.")
Yes let's just ambush this eldritch hit man while he's naked out of the shower.
John you are not the best at narrating through fight scenes how is he supposed to move based on this?!
"No time for panic attacks, keep moving. BTW you're covered in blood" "Not. Helping."
Lovely. Okay so not so much hitman as rank and file who is really shit at shaving?
I kinda thought that was where this was going but euuugh. You could at least hop in the shower first!
So you guys just crashed the convention without even knowing how many people were in there?
John for an eldritch entity you are not respecting the possibility of other eldritch forces very well. You are not alone, buddy
*Pauses and walks away from Cult Lie Detector Test* because ohhh this is a BAD IDEA
It is kind of funny to hear John sweat audibly
This is just the worst plan imaginable! You have no plan!
Read ahead, read ahead! GET THE SPOILERS
John, surprisingly devoted to the thought of Free Will and Non Determinism!
"It sounds like . . ." confused bears!
Oh is it a really big snuffles?! Having cultist for lunch?
OH TIME FOR SHELOB :D
"You're Not Helping!"
This is a super Goth Shelob, huh
Slip'n'slide number two! Clearly they make the best decisions
Heartwarming talks with the eldritch bestie
Arthur this is not the first time you've arbitrarily chose left, the sinister direction. I am not sure this bodes well for you~
"Hungry for flesh" absolutely a great place to go, great vacation destination!
"Pain, madness, and sufferin'" GREAT cult sales pitch
Ah I see where this is going
Down, apparently! What's with these cultists and caves, man
it is interesting that they're splitting the difference on the sanity-bending, that Arthur is insulated from the trippy visual bullshit
Why are you guys so inconsistent and decidedly not genre-savvy?!
"I'm happy to be paranoid" as you just were a dick and called the other paranoid and refused to listen
You goddamn idiots how were you NOT expecting this
*cringe* Parasites, I hate parasites.
And hey finally a change of clothes even though I would definitely not call that swim an improvement on hygiene
Large yellow egg from the King in Yellow that's not ominous at all
Mmm my social anxiety says NOTHING good can come of this
My social anxiety is often right.
WELL THEN That's a Development
That would definitely explain why the cultists were in close orbit
All right so we need to start laying bets on Arthur's missing daughter being the second girl that was at the summoning ritual for the Black Goat that went to shit. (if there is indeed a missing daughter) I thought the second girl was the sister-of-the-screaming-head but Sister Screamer would probably have a different patron than Sr Amarillo
And that's enough to chew on for tonight XD Next time: ep 13, couples therapy!
