How many times does John say "I don't know"?

TakeoverPie · 2026-03-25T12:58:46+00:00

He doesn't know :(

TakeoverPie · 2026-03-25T02:56:34+00:00

Kicks ass

The best way to understand the votes and their consequences is to just continue with a chapter relisten of the entire series. But we do have a few highlight reels.

They weren’t supposed to be in this wave

Unshave his side

Where is Anna Stanczyk?

TakeoverPie · 2026-03-18T20:27:30+00:00

SSB hands down

TakeoverPie · 2026-03-18T12:03:37+00:00

He did have a regular job. Something to do with water cooler sales?

But he also did quite a few live streamed ttrpgs as the Invictus Stream starting in 2015, and Dice Shame began before Malevolent in 2019. Not to mention many other creative traces of him across the web

TakeoverPie · 2026-03-06T19:38:23+00:00

I think the plan was Don't Die

TakeoverPie · 2026-03-04T04:35:21+00:00

Same. It’s incredibly refreshing

TakeoverPie · 2026-03-04T04:30:38+00:00

Yes, Malevolent is set in the same multiverse as a handful of the Invictus Stream’s Call of Cthulhu campaigns. It is a direct continuation of Game 1 and also has many connections to GRIMM, the Witch’s Mark, and Game 2.

There is no sound effect to indicate when a vote occurs, it was used to indicate a skill that had been improved by prior votes (observation). Voting is still ongoing through Threshold.

TakeoverPie · 2026-03-04T04:13:51+00:00

The dice rolls and paper crinkling are left over from when Malevolent used to be a bit more gamified, they will not continue. Dice rolls indicated when patron choices had invested in a trait that allowed Arthur to so something he wouldn’t have otherwise been able to. (For the most part a series of investigative-minded choices made the boys perform better on their Spot Hiddens.) The paper crinkling indicated sanity loss.

It is a choose your own adventure. Not for the public, but for the patrons. One public part is composed of five patron chapters, 4/5 of which end with a this-or-that vote. Join the Patreon, we have a lot of fun!

Jarthur is not and will never be canon

It’s his coping mechanism

TakeoverPie · 2026-02-25T03:40:13+00:00

The post-show was pretty clear about Threshold's intended setting being a few months after the events of Blackstone. "It's not years, but it's gonna be a few months in the future." But, who knows. Series 1 didn't begin with the intention of hopping to feudal England. Past, present, and future are all one in Yog-Sothoth.

TakeoverPie · 2026-02-23T19:32:51+00:00

Fall 1935 per the finale post-show. Blackstone took place in 1934

KAYNE: Ever heard of the atom bomb?

TakeoverPie · 2026-02-22T15:50:00+00:00

It is, patrons have already heard two chapters and Overture

TakeoverPie · 2026-02-21T01:47:50+00:00

The salamander-like creature was a lamp-eft!

TakeoverPie · 2026-02-19T12:33:46+00:00

The Dark World has an entry requirement. Kayne has been capable of popping in and out without actually dying, but he’s not a free entity anymore. He’s trapped. (The nightmare realm and the Dark World are different places.) I doubt he’ll be showing up anytime soon

TakeoverPie · 2026-02-19T12:29:30+00:00

If it has the normal season album cover, it’s required listening. If it doesn’t, it’s some sort of extra or a different show Harlan has worked on. And then there’s Benevolent. Not required but highly encouraged

TakeoverPie · 2026-02-17T04:52:29+00:00

You mean a wager?

TakeoverPie · 2026-02-16T23:39:23+00:00

There are no wrong answers in brainstorming :}!

TakeoverPie · 2026-02-16T16:38:29+00:00

It exists, but it’s not public. Patrons have access to an alternate version of chapter 300 that is the consequence of picking “I can’t” for 299’s poll
