Forgetmenauts Intro Post

Heya y’all! Since there have been a few posts/asks about the Forgetmenauts, I figured I’d make a introductory masterpost! If you think anything should be added, just lmk (ask, dm, in the replies, whatever ur comfortable with). All helpful links are attached to the end of the post <3

FAQ

Is there a right way to start listening? Nope! You can jump in anywhere and anyway you want. If you really want advice on where to start, the general consensus seems to be a) listen to Gay Werewolf Murder Ballad or The Marriage of Bigfoot and Mothman first to get the vibes, then listen to the songs in album order, or b) go straight to listening to the songs in order. The main reason this is recommended is because some songs are explicitly connected to each other, so listening to them out of order first may be a bit confusing. Still, if that isn’t your speed, let me reiterate that there is no wrong way to listen.

Why are we called the Coven? Back in September 2022, the fmns found our little fandom here on Tumblr. In the notes of this post, mountaingnomes (one of the fmns) called us a “tiny coven” and the name stuck! I’ll link some other posts from that very eventful day bc it was quite a fun time.

I heard of two songs called Rusalka and the Shepherd Girl and Cottonwood but can’t find them, where can I listen? The fmns did a radio show which you can watch here where they played those two songs, along with some others! Cottonwood is the first song they play and Rusalka is at [27:00].

Miscellaneous Info

There’s a Dancing Plague music video on their youtube channel!

Also on their YouTube channel is a new song called “I Took a Zombie to Prom and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt”

They have a segment in volume 3 of the queer horror zine The Quiet Ones. It starts on page 47, but I highly recommend reading the short stories and poems before and after! There’s also a mini interview with each member that includes their pronouns <3

The fmns have an insta where they post announcements/updates. If you have insta, go follow and support them!

They also have a song called Daphne available on YouTube which I will link below

streetlight-halo:

A digital drawing of Arthur Lester and John Doe, done in orange, blue, and black. Arthur is sitting, curled in on himself, on a pile of miscellaneous objects, mostly comprised of books. A lantern is the only light source, sitting beside him. John, an empty robe, is drawn only in line next to him on the other side. Arthur looks hopeless, scared, and very tired. Writing above them reads, “miles to go before I sleep.”ALT

I hate you and I love you and I need you to live and you’re the only home I’ve ever known and I despise you and I want you to suffer and you’re my friend and you’re my friend and you’re my friend

i think the worst thing to come out of this site are the ‘NAZIS ARE TERRIBLE. they WILL KILL ALL JEWS in COLD BLOOD, LET THEIR FAMILIES DIE IN FRONT OF THEM, and start the HOLOCAUST 2.0!! also reblog to make a jew feel safe.’ formatted type posts

ways to make a jew feel safe and comfortable:

-let them celebrate their holidays openly around you and encourage them to express themselves religiously. if they invite you over for a holiday, go!! they’re making an effort to let you learn more about them.

-consider any different diets they might be on (ex. kosher or even if it’s passover) when you have them over at your house. a little goes a long way with this one

-if christmas is around חנוכה that year, feel free to send them a חנוכה card!! it’s not really as big of a holiday for us but we do appreciate the effort put into making us feel included :)

-educate any of your friends that might make antisemitic jokes. even ‘grammar nazi’ jokes. standing up for jewish people goes further than when theyre just around. antisemitism isnt something that only exists when a jew is in the room.

-understand that, if they practice judaism, their beliefs arent like yours, and that that’s ok! a lot of people forget that not everyone is either a christian or an atheist whenever the topic of religion comes up. (but also remember not every jew practices or believes in judaism!!)

-if they tell you to warn them before you talk about nazis, do it. It’s really easy just to give someone a heads up before you talk about people who want them dead, especially if they’re openly jewish or a holocaust survivor descendent.

ways NOT to make a jew feel safe and comfortable:

“NAZIS are EVIL. they will KILL ALL THE JEWS. that’s just BAD. they will MURDER EVERY SINGLE JEWISH FAMILY. NO JEW IS SAFE. anyway reblog to make a jewish person feel safe and loved 🤗”

also if you can goyim reblog. and if you’re jewish and want to add on feel free!

hey by ‘if you are a goy reblog if you can’ i meant ‘i highly encourage you to reblog this because i have seen too many posts that make me and other jewish people very uncomfortable and they are, to be honest, entirely surface level and exhausting to see over and over again. not only that, but they are also annoying to us because they dont make us feel safe at all, and reblogging posts about how bad nazis are isnt actual activism or showing real, substantial support for jews. if youre serious about being there for your jewish siblings actually take part in their lives. make sure they’re comfortable. make sure you make casual antisemitists uncomfortable. dont just reblog posts about hating nazis, your posts dont do shit. supporting your jewish friends by even doing something as simple as what i listed above does have an affect of us. your posts about you hating nazis mean absolutely nothing unless you care for and acknowledge Actual Jewish People’s problems and challenges. otherwise, they’re surface level bullshit and do not contribute whatsoever to improve our safety.’ :) :) :)

but why. does a skate park exist. if the city doesn’t want skateboarders. this is not a walmart parking lot we’re talking about. this is not a thing that was designed for a purpose other than skateboarding that skateboarders encroached on like an invasive species. you are trying to deter loitering in a place where it should not be possible to loiter. it’s not like the sand was put there to stop homeless people from sleeping there. which is awful but I can at least comprehend cities doing it to benches and shit. the sand was specifically meant to deter skateboarders

you built a skate park. with money. presumably taxpayers paid for there to be a place specifically made for skateboarding. and then those same taxpayers paid to get those nasty skateboarders out of the big concrete bowls that are just there for show I guess

dogs are not allowed in the dog park

Oh I know the answer to this: skaters used to be mostly white. Now there are a lot of Black skaters.
