Episode 3; Dawn of the Poseurs; exploratory notes

This one is the most Goth Kids of all the Goth Kids episodes so far, and is precisely why I am certain the Goth Kids are Hollow Ones, instead of Euthanatos or Verbena.

The episode begins with the Goth Kids hanging out in Henrietta's Bedroom sanctuary, meditating upon poetry to recharge their mana. Soon, Henrietta is summoned by her parents and dictated to attend a 'camp for troubled kids who need structure' because they falsely identify her as emo. They also demonstrate an absolute distain for their own daughter by disregarding her self-asserted titles. She attempts a shock-and-awe spell to mind-control them into not sending her, but the parents are adamant that she will go. Two weeks later, the Goth Kids await their fellow coven member's return; the majority of their spells are group rituals, and they want to be sure their friend is alright, or whatever. They are horrified to learn she has changed to be an Emo kid during her stay at the camp. She no longer casts spells with them, having joined the new Emo coven. Seeing another massive wave of arcane change pouring through their quiet mountain town, the Goths decide to try and make a Truce with the Vamp Kids, whom are far smaller in number than they were before, but still maintain their Clan's presence. Mike 'Vampyr' is the most hostile, naturally, since they stopped him from becoming the ultimate leader of the town, but it is revealed that even Vampires can be converted into Emo Cultists. seeing a threat to both of their ways of life, they spy upon the emos in a bedroom lair, seeing that indeed, vamp kids have been transmuted into emos through some foul manner. It is decided an exploration of the camp is necessary, to ascertain the true scope of the threat to their world. Upon breaking into the camp, one of them is captured while the others are exploring. The group eventually learns that the emos are plant cultists, as a sort of new-old green man cult, believing themselves to have swapped souls with a unique breed of fichus plants, which require pain and acknowledgement. (If you've seen season 3 of that new Sabrina Netflix show, you know the vibe.) The group is about to be consumed, even learning Urkle is a double-agent who was converted earlier, when, of all things, a technocracy MiB crew bursts in, disenchanting the plants as merely common fichus plants in vibrating pots. The entire event is covered up using the 'New Prank Show' strategy, claiming to be a new show called 'Yes, I was Scared!'; after the cameras stop rolling, the plants are burned. The Goth Kids deliver the news to Henrietta, who is then able to resist the mind-control spores that burrowed into her brain and regain her Goth freedom. That's the major notes of the main three tv episodes through this lens, I'll probably try to re-watch the episodes, as well as double-checking the wiki to be certain I'm recalling all the useful bits. I know for certain there are things I'm leaving out, like how Henrietta has a seemingly legitimate copy of the true necronomicon, or other minor appearances of the Goth Kids throughout the show. Eventually, I'll probably make actual character sheets for each goth kid.

OUGH so i just typed out a bunch of fun facts about leeches....

tw for discussion of blood, disease transmission, & animal defecation!

most species of leech dont feed on humans, they tend to be very specialized to feed on a specific animal (often fish and amphibians!)

some leeches dont drink blood at all & instead are carnivores eating things like earthworms or slugs!!

its not very likely to get a serious illness from a leech even in the wild because of the way their mouthparts work, the most likely way to get a bloodborne disease from a leech is actually to grab it and yank it off bc that may make it regurgitate the blood in its tummy out of stress!! it is however entirely possible for the bite itself to get infected bc wild leeches tend to live in pond or swamp water which isnt known for being sanitary lol, so if you are bitten by a wild leech definitely clean the wound as best you can, apply pressure, and seek medical assistance just in case!!

the best way to remove a leech is to run your fingernail (or a credit card or similar thin sturdy water-resistant material) under the edge of its face, bc it latches on using a suction cup (like an octopus! there's a suction cup on its face & one on the end of its tail! the face is on the narrower end btw, the fat end is its big ol butt <3) so if you gently break the suction seal it'll just fall off!

leech "bites" can bleed a lot bc their saliva has anticoagulant properties, so leeches are the most dangerous to ppl who have hemophilia or another bleeding disorder!!

leeches dont really have fangs, they have a tiny Y-shaped jaw with microscopic "teeth", almost like a weird little saw, and they use that to break the skin & use their suction cup to latch onto the tiny wound and just sort of free-feed as the blood flows out!!

they also dont drink a huge amount of blood tbh, especially if its just one of them (though they do tend to live in large groups), but the anticoagulant can cause you to bleed (not gushing, more like a steady leak?) for hours after the leech lets go, so its good to apply pressure with clean bandages after being bit!!

leeches are used in medicine to this day!!

you can also keep them as pets, theyre one of the few truly low-maintenance animals, they just need dechlorinated water, some gravel (for rubbing against to help shed their skin), a hidey hole or two, & for their water to be cleaned every so often!! they can live in surprisingly small enclosures, but it definitely doesnt hurt to give them space to explore :) they do also prefer darkness though, so its best to make sure they're shaded from any bright lights or windows!!

leeches like to live with other leeches!!! they will actually curl up together and at least one study has shown that they release oxytocin when "cuddling" with each other (the same brain chemical that's released when, for example, a mother cuddles her baby!!)

its generally ok to keep leeches of the same species together, they arent likely to attack each other unless one of them is full of warm blood & another is hungry!! this is why its best to feed your leeches around the same time & if one refuses to eat, keep it in a separate tank from the ones that have eaten until the full ones defecate and/or the empty one eats!!

adult Hirudo verbana (the modern "medicinal leech" bc the similar, historically used Hirudo medicinalis is endangered) can feed as infrequently as once or twice a year!! they'll digest their meal over a long period of time and (if i recall correctly?) tend to defecate it all at once!! it'll be pretty obvious when your leech does a poop (they'll release dark fluid into the water, this is just whats left of the blood once it nutrients have been absorbed) so clean their water as soon as you notice that xP

some leech owners feed them their own blood, but others will buy unsalted (important!! salt can kill them!!) pork blood from butchers or some deli markets, put that blood in a plastic bag or sausage casing, and warm it up in a bowl of warm water & let the leeches feed on that!!

Hirudo verbana are more colorful than you might think! they have patterns along their back in varying shades of orange, dark green, and brown, while their bellies are a lighter tan color!!

ok ill stop now hehe >w<

#tl;dr leeches are SO cool and underrated <3 <3 <3 #leeches #leech husbandry #hirudo verbana #hirudo medicinalis

btw since the constipation tips r getting shared, if anyone also has insomnia tips they swear by i really need some...... every night for the past two weeks Ive been waking up every hour, so ive been forced to take Xanax, Valium, and klonipin which reduce my waking up from like hourly to 3-4 times instead., but that’s crazy to me cuz I’ve not had to do that since I was addicted to benzos more than a year ago. and I do not want to get re-addicted. I go to bed btwn 11pm-1am and I fall asleep quickly, and I get up between 8am-10am (even if im awake earlier than that I just lie in bed and rest while i wait till it’s 8am), and I have a comfy eye mask and ear plugs. I feel like that’s good sleep hygiene no? but ive been unable to sleep thru a whole night even one time in two weeks :/

#a mutual here recommended valerian root which I will try once I get back home in a week (I didn’t bring it w me) #I’ve heard lemongrass or verbana are good? #or I could be making those up... #note to self

We should work together or something. We do kinda the same thing, Necromancer

-Verbana Knight

Necromancer: hmph, while i'm not sure our goals truly align, but i shall think about it. You seem like a worthy partner to cooperate with me. I'll make you my royal advisor once we CONQUER THE ENTIRE GALAXY-

Limos: okay let's actually talk about that. you're aiming to banish light from the galaxy but you've only conquered like, 5 planets.

Necromancer: what? n-no i conquered like, OVER A THOUSAND! look can we do this far away from the radio so no one can hear this-?

Limos: the first 4, you just stuck a flag on them and left a bunch of zombies there. most of your undead army are stuck on planets which don't even have inhabitants.

Necromancer: that was calling DIBS on them in case some other overlord wants to steal it! Also i DID conquer a planet with intelligent life at some point!

Limos: a planet which had no ruler and conveniently took you as the queen doesn't count, you were lucky. also compared to the other planets, this one has the least amount of soldiers compared to the others which baffles me.

Necromancer: I- YOU'RE MOCKING ME. YOU ARE MOCKING ME AND HUMILIATING ME I CANNOT- BELIEVE YOU.

Limos: i dunno man i'm just telling the truth. you need a solid plan.

Necromancer: why in fact, i do. A plan so exqusite that your puny insect brain won't be able to comprehend it! It's just not

time yet....heheheh...HAHAHAHAHA

MUUUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH!!

Limos, laughing along: heehehehehehehehehehheehhe why are we laughing?

Necromancer, smirking: for....my victory.
