Malevolent terrifies me in a way that Night Vale and TMA do not have for me personally. Malevolent genuinely feels like a horror movie.
(That isn't to say that WTNV and TMA are lacking because of it btw I love those two.)

You know these really weird moments when you don't know whether reality glitched, you're brain wired something wrong or the internet is just gaslighting you?
I was convinced that rusty quill had a podcast called "the mechanisms". At the same time, random videos about a band with the same name popped up on my tiktok fyp, so my brain somehow assumed that rusty quill created a fictional band for one of their podcasts.
Now i googled "the mechanisms" to check if i was right. Turns out there used to be a band with that name who had fictional personas or something like that. And who told stories through their albums. But i found nothing remotely related to podcasts.
I feel really dumb but... has my brain just made a wrong connection, maybe because some horror podcast fans are also fan of this band? Or... what's going on?
Update: I think this might be related to Tim Stoker from tma being compared to a certain Gunpowder Tim - and i think someone even said the... voice? Actor? Whatever, the real person behind Gunpowder Tim voiced someone in tma. Also there's apparently a Jonny in that band too, and i thought they were talking about Jonny Sims. And posts about "listening to the mechs" popped up between posts about listening to podcasts, so... i guess i just assumed it was a podcast too.

Day 3 of Podcast Girls Week: Angst or Fluff. Pick your poison.
I.M.O.G.E.N. helping Hartro with important presentation as any AI definitely would
Hartro took a deep breath. She had to do a vey important presentation in front of Managers Committee and her preparations weren’t going as good as she wanted. Durek, one of her supervisors, told her recently that even though her 3D designs and creative drawn boards are very unique, it’s not necessarily what Managers Committee might want to see. So she decided to try and do simple digital presentation. Of course it wasn’t going as smoothly as she hoped and now she had barely started presentation and only few more hours to finish it.
“Everything is going to be alright.” She muttered to herself trying not to fall into despair.
She saw out of the corner of her eye her art supplies. Oh, she could see in her mind the colourful board she could make for this occasion. She could even use colour changing glitter she haven’t had chance to use yet.
“No. I will do this.” She stated firmly focusing on screen in front of her. Empty slide stared at her mockingly and she stared back at it with anger.
“Your order has arrived.” I.M.O.G.E.N. said suddenly and delivery tube opened with a quiet ping.
“I haven’t ordered anything.” Hartro said confused.
She walked to the delivery tube and took out a big package. She carefully opened the box worrying if Trexel didn’t finally decide to take revenge on her for restricting him from Cosmic Lounge. She found inside colourful markers, glue, tapes in different patterns (including one with little charts), feathers, Stellar Firma logo confetti and much more.
“I.M.O.G.E.N. I don’t remember ordering this.” She said looking further into the package and seeing more and more art supplies. “Also I thought I already used all my cards for- Oh my Board, is it limited edition Stellar Firma kit for making charts? Oh, I always dreamed about it.”
She picked up a small box and looked at it with complete adoration on her face.
“It will perfect for my presentation! The Committee has never seen a chart so perfect!”
Hartro moved towards her desk with new found energy. However her enthusiasm disappeared as soon as she saw screen of her computer.
“Ah, yes, no chart drawing for this one.” She could feel bitter taste of disappointment in her mouths.
She sat down on the chair with a heavy sigh and put chart making kit on the side.
“Employees of Stellar Firma are required to use ordered supplies in order to not waste company’s assets. Why are you not using them?” I.M.O.G.E.N. asked.
“First, I didn’t order them. And second, I have to make this presentation in digital format like everyone else.” Hartro sighed and send a longing look at art supplies.
“Managers Committee always complains how every presentation is exactly the same. It happens so often they actually created a game to check how many times they see the same thing. It is very entertaining to change their game and see if they notice anything. So far no one did.”
Hartro raised her head interested. Art supplies looked more and more tempting.
“But Durek said they won’t like colourful board.” She said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
“Durek got a lowest rate in his time. Twice. I would advise any aspiring Line Manager not to trust him about this presentation.”
Hartro looked at the screen and plain boring slides. Then she turned to chart making kit on her desk and box of art supplies. She could feel fresh motivation running through her. Her mind was bursting with new ideas incorporating new supplies.
“Okay, it’s time to do it Hartro style!” She exclaimed and left computer behind.
“Playing Hartro Straight To The Top Playlist.” I.M.O.G.E.N. spoke one last time and office was filled with sound of paper, markers, glitter and energetic music.
