This week we breakdown chapter 4 of This Inevitable Ruin. Carl and Donut’s loot box bonanza continues, stacking them with wildly overpowered upgrades, unhinged gifts, and one truly terrifying celestial potion. We break down Donut’s coping mechanisms, Carl’s growing arsenal, and Mordecai's potion obsession. Plus: Samantha tries to kill Tish, we finally get to talk about other characters, and we end with Donut learning about Carl's secret pet.

It’s loot box o’clock, and Princess Donut is cleaning up. Carl and Donut crack open a ridiculous amount of loot boxes that includes trench-building scrolls, cursed spellbooks, and the wildly overpowered Tiara of a Thousand Lights. As Donut starts turning ugly hats into raw magical firepower, things quickly get dark with the "You're Not Done Yet" spell.

We also break down the mechanics of Quan’s Cloak of the Benevolent Champion, how it turns Donut into a god-tier tank, and how the AI might have nudged Quan to become a villain.

Add in exploding space chickens and Mongo getting potion balls broken on his butt, and this chapter becomes pure setup for absolute chaos.

In this episode of The Apocalypse Will Be Podcasted, we dive into Chapter 2 of This Inevitable Ruin, where Carl, Donut, and Mordecai hide hang out in the safe room and sift through an absolutely unhinged pile of achievements, spells, and loot.

We break down Donut’s growing arsenal (ghillie suit, boonie hat, anti-air spells, and more), how her power curve is quietly getting terrifying, and why some of these abilities feel less flashy but way more dangerous. Mordecai finally gets the potion upgrade of his dreams, Mongo is still tragically one-winged, and the ceasefire continues to feel ominous.

Carl racks up a parade of bizarre achievements, including demon-related milestones, cursed food box “upgrades,” sentient weapon warnings, and some of the wildest AI flavor text in the series so far. We also get a brand-new quest from Emberus that will eventually derail everything in the best possible way.

It’s a quieter chapter on the surface — but it’s packed with foreshadowing, trauma, and deeply unsettling soup.
