Notes for chapter 4 of Flock Together.

Chapter 4- This is not enough, this is not enough to prove it yet, no I need to hit the bottom

@crawlingcarcass @raineisinkless @katslitterbox @possum-quesadilla

Chapter title is from “Hand Me My Shovel, I’m Going In!” by Will Wood and the Tapeworms.

“Well, I am worried. There was nothing else around us that could’ve looked like that. My flash was off, so it couldn’t have been something caused by the light,”

This was inspired by a photo I took in The Conjuring House. The first photo had nothing out of the ordinary, the second one taken right after the first had a human-like silhouette.

“I wanted to go back to you, but it was like somethin’ was tryin’ to keep me movin’ forward.”

Hey guys. Remember in chapter 3 when Lydia saw some mushrooms that reminded her of fly agaric. The same mushrooms that attract and kill flies. Those ones.

“I dunno, I just got this really strange feelin’. It was kinda… familiar? In a way? Like somethin’ I’ve felt before.”

I wonder what that could be :)

“I think you’re pickin’ stuff up from your therapist,” Beetlejuice chuckled.

“That’s the point of therapy, isn’t it?”

Shilo is finally in therapy! She needs it. Her therapist, Wendy, is very aware of Beetlejuice’s existence and the fact that he’s a real harpy. She thinks it’s rad.

“it was like somethin’ was callin’ to me, callin’ to my soul, almost. God, that sounds really stupid when I say it out loud, but I dunno how else to say it.”

Live footage of me trying to sound poetic.

“So, now that that’s over with,” Beetlejuice said, his ears twitching, “the birds sound pretty damn hungry.”

He can hear the birds gathering around outside.

“Shilo whistled as she tossed birdseed on the lawn to attract the attention of the crows. Every day, she whistled the same tune and sprinkled the same food in the same spot. After months of doing this, the crows recognized that the song meant feeding time, and Shilo beamed as they flocked to her like she was some morbid Disney princess.”

She started doing this in chapter 10 of Birds of a Feather, and now she’s befriended her local corvids! They leave her trinkets sometimes. Makes Beetlejuice just a wee bit jealous.

“Fireworks?”

“Yeah, you know, the colorful explosions? They happen every year.”

“That’s what those were!? For years, I thought Juno was fuckin’ attackin’ me! I hate those things.”

Once he made it to America, the poor guy had to deal with the sounds of rockets exploding every single year. He always kept his distance from busy places, but he couldn’t hide from the noises.

“However, any foraging sites gave no information and WebMD just said Beetlejuice was either stressed or dying of every ailment known to man (and then some).”

Sorry girl, your monster boyfriend had a brain aneurysm /j

“She also found that it was located in the middle of the fairy ring of doom.”

What an interesting detail.

Notes for chapter 3 of Flock Together.

Warning!! There are several descriptions of injuries in this chapter!!

Chapter 3- And brother for a moment there / the world came back to life

@possum-quesadilla @crawlingcarcass @raineisinkless @katslitterbox

Chapter title is from “Livin’ it Up on Top” from Hadestown.

“I’m obsessed with this camera because was the last birthday gift Dead Mom ever gave me,” Lydia said.”

Emily is also the one who got Lydia into photography! She has a lot of attachment to that camera.

“She shivered and hugged her red and black spider web poncho close to her body.”

A reference to what she wears in the cartoon.

“At one point, she found the skeleton of a squirrel lying on a rock, which she took a selfie with.”

Perhaps this will come up again…

“It was a line of mushrooms, all black with bright blue spots, like an inverted fly agaric.”

Fly agarics are those mushrooms with red caps and white spots. Probably what you imagine when you think of a mushroom. They are also poisonous! They’re called fly agarics because they have ibotenic acid, which draws in and kills flies. Perhaps this is foreshadowing!

“A woman appeared in her view. She had split dyed black and green hair. She wore a light pink tshirt with a white long sleeve top underneath. She wore jeans and black combat boots. She was talking to someone Lydia couldn’t quite see.”

Shilo!!

“Nah, that fucker’s still lurkin’. I can smell its fear.”

Beetlejuice can, in fact, smell the fear on the squirrel.

“It was covered in pink feathers that trailed down its arms, legs, and chest. Like a flamingo.”

Little reference to chapter 14 of Birds of a Feather. He still does not enjoy being called a flamingo.

“She hoped that whatever it was wouldn’t hear the camera. A click. A turn of its head. Its inhuman eyes staring into hers through the tree branches.”

He heard the sound especially well due to his sensitive hearing.

“What tea is that?”

He was drinking green tea if anyone was curious.

“Lydia did notice Delia eyeing her scrapes and bandaged wounds. Lydia also caught Delia cleaning her blood-stained poncho that she left in the laundry room.”

Delia is worried about her. Even though they’re at each other’s throats all the time, Delia does still care about Lydia.

“When she came around to the staircase, she pushed her arms against the walls and swung her legs up.”

I tried so hard to find an image to describe this but I couldn’t. I’ll draw it eventually. I don’t even know how to properly describe it. I don’t know if the way she did it is possible. But I’ve got a vision.

“She would never get out. She was stuck like this, stuck in this basement until the end of time.”

Maybe a bit dramatic, but she’s a terrified kid. She’s probably not going to be thinking rationally.

“Come on, Adam. Let’s give her some space, she looks like she’s seen a ghost.���

Do you get it. Do you get the joke. Because they’re ghosts. It’s a ghost joke. Do you get it. Do you get the ghost jo

“really the only off putting thing about her appearance was the giant gash in her right arm that went from shoulder to wrist. It was deep, going all the way down to bone. There was another deep wound that circled around her other wrist.”

Barbara’s death wounds.

“Yes! We’re scaAaAry ghoOosts!” Adam waved his arms around, oohing and ahhing.”

Dorky Adam Maitland my beloved.

“We tried to scare away people with possession and simple tricks, but when that didn’t work, we had to up our game.”

Unlike the other iterations of the Maitlands, these guys actually became scary.

“so she decided to rent it to others at a very low price.”

It’s like $50 a night to stay there.

“Would you and your family mind leaving and never coming back?” Adam said.”

Musical reference.
