that's what we're supposed to do with the pumpkins?!

any sources on it you've got lying around would be appreciated! I've found lots but investigating in the occult + historically marginalized culture section is uhhhhh kinda difficult!

fucking tweets aren't really the format for this but i want to say:

I've also heard good things about this paper but have not yet read it so as to not spoil myself. LMK if you need access to it.

It's S2E9, a killer uses a cave bear skull fossil as part of this whole contraption to kill. the show talks about him having an identity disorder, believing himself to be an animal, uses the words "species dysphoria", ultimately cites basically therianthropy as his motive for murder
