Wake up coven, new Forgetmenauts EP just dropped <3

Sometimes as a spoonie life knocks you over with just a gentle breeze.... So it's been a while since I've made any silly projects for myself (which often makes me more depressed!! Yay!!). Tried sitting down last week and painting whatever doodle came to mind on a t shirt to get back into a small swing of things, and of course it was The Forgetmenauts again..... <3

"i took a zombie to prom and all i got was this lousy t-shirt" and some very simplistic forget-me-nots flowers on the shirt!!!! I did originally picture painting more (like aged tombstones and maybe mushrooms) but I think I like the simpler design atm.

(Just realized you can still see ugly yellow the chalk lines on the shirt in the pics lol)

Trick or treat?

I Took a Zombie to Prom and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt!

Happy Halloween!!!

since one of my most obscure favorite bands just put out new music, it seems like a great time to either let you all know or remind you of the existence of The Forgetmenauts, a fantasy folk punk band (their words) who write songs that play with myth and folklore and fairy tales, with titles including such bangers as:

The Marriage of Bigfoot and Mothman

I Took a Zombie to Prom and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt

Gay Werewolf Murder Ballad

Everybody Loves You When You Can Turn Into a Bat

and songs with less prepossessing titles that still slap, including "Jack," "The Summer King," and my personal favorite version of "Tam Lin." they've got two albums and an EP. you can listen to their entire discography in less than two hours. do it. go.

me putting songs by The Forgetmenauts in almost all of my Just Roll With It playlists: i WILL drag you all into my favorite band and you WILL like it and i will accomplish this if it KILLS ME

> ID below and in alt text -

[Image Description: A traditional pencil sketch of Percy Reed and Diggory Graves from Hello from the Hallowoods. The sketch is cut off where Percy's shirt ends, and where Diggory's arm cuts off the rest of their body.

Percy is in a metallic, robot body that has lines connected across his face, arms and hands, shaded a light grey. His hair is light, short and fluffy. He is wearing a shirt with the text, " I took a zombie to prom and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. The Forgetmenauts." In all capitals. The words "prom" and "lousy t-shirt" are underlined. It is a piece of merchandise for the song by The Forgetmenauts with the same name. In the middle of his shirt, splitting the text, is a rose. He is doing a thumbs up sign, with an unimpressed, blank look on his face, staring at the camera.

Diggory has multiple shades of skin sewn over their face and hand. Their forhead, nose, mouth and lower part of their hand is dark, and their eyes, cheeks and knuckles are light. They have a black, messy mullet. They are wearing a leather jacket with spikes on the shoulders and collar, and a shirt underneath. They have black claws for fingers, which fade into their light knuckles. They are bending forward slightly behind Percy, smiling at the camera with their hand rested on Percy's shoulder.

End ID.]

Battle of the Fear Bands B2R2: The Corruption

BlackBoxWarrior:

“A song about a man struggling with his health (be it mental or physical). The song makes the treatment seem inhumane and just as terrifying as the initial problem. It’s almost like he’s getting sicker and sicker but just won’t die.”

I Took a Zombie to Prom and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt:

“The love going on far longer than it should, to the point where it is consuming, most specifically "And we stumble ever forward - Our love is gone but we keep walking on - Arms outstretched we’re grasping for it - Wish that we had just stayed dead and gone"”

Lyrics below the line!

BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA:

Well he collapsed with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome on the E.R. floor Panic attacked, anaphylactic and ataxic The way he spun his butterfly risked all six his phalanges Roman candles at both ends in his synapses And the method with which he recycled his humors Trojan Horse'd his Blood-Brain Barrier and raised the LD-50, yes, yes And through flight-or-fight revelation shame the Black Box Warrior He skipped this town and headed straight down history Shields himself from reason in a Kevlar baby-blue Tuxedo Quilted from the finest fibers, flesh, and fiberglass, and flowers His ego a mosquito, evil incarnate good incognito Pops placebos for libido, screaming, "Bless the torpedoes" For what? For what? For what it's worth If it was going to kill you boy, it would have by now For what? For what? For what it's worth There's no more looking back, it's looking up or looking down Well, he was wearing stolen rubber shoes and wrapped a poison ivy noose Around his Lotus jugular when they came Well, they found him with a map to every victim of his love And a tattoo of a blue jay on his face And they waited for his vital signs to lie and let a flatline cry A hymn out in Hungarian Harmonic But he cocked his noggin, through his stoma sang, "For auld lang syne" "Happy birthday to the succulents, I'll die your hydroponics" His rib cage was a hornet's nest, palpitations set the beat His vagus nerve a turk's head knot, an axel hitch, a carrick bend He wondered if Christ Consciousness would charge a cancellation fee Auf wiedersehn, au revoir, he gripped his wits right by their ends

For what? For what? For what it's worth If it was going to kill you boy, it would have by now For what? For what? For what it's worth There's no more looking back, it's looking up or looking down Hello, welcome, why don't you take a seat? Get comfortable, relax, take a second if you need to Now what's bothering you? Well, why don't we start at the beginning Growing up, how was your relationship with the fundamentals of conscious existence? Did you have xenon orchid sinews spilling down the outer center of your Blooming Escher/Mandelbrot head? And how about claustrophilic tendrils clapping caskets closed on seven-knuckle thumbs Did you get along well with the Gideon Bugler pineal glands? Your projector eyes casting sci-fi's on your STR'd strands? Tell me about your nerve to steal nerves of steel from under Bacchus' bloody nose Did Namibian Himbas tie-dye you, your ears pierced with a Phineas Gage flagpole Did you die before your day? Thursday traction, Tuesday titration My hope is to assess through my objective report of Your subjective conjecture Whether this proprietary bled of expertise and seasoning works as well as this Transorbital ice pick

Holistic ballistics, you got a better idea? It's about the best we could come up with, what, you think ideas spread because they're good? No, they spread because people like them So now here we are once again, holding As it were, a mirror up to your mirror I guess it's just something people do A bloody knife to split your infrastructure, wine to rev your motor function Coital machinations of the dead Well, you mainline your animus, karate chop your abacus And learn to be an animal instead But I never did think you better than this, your modus operandi causes Nazi/Skoptzyism and suicide Why to thine own self be true when it is you who are the problem Not the things you do but something sick inside Lithium and Dialectics, boy you really is defective CBT don't seem effective for that Cluster B, accept it Offer up your innocence, please ignore the side effects You've lost your mind and almost lost your life before So you'll be fine For what? For what? For what it's worth If it was going to kill you boy, it would have by now For what? For what? For what it's worth There's no more looking back, and why would you want to look back? I mean, it's no good looking back, so try to look forward now For what? For what? For what it's worth If they were going to get you boy, they would have by now For what? For what? For what it's worth There's no more looking back, it's looking up or looking down...

I Took a Zombie to Prom and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt:

One breath But everything just tastes like grave dirt One look But darkness surrounds me One touch These walls of pinewood press so closely But, love, I'm alive I claw my way toward you Broken limbs and stitched together smile Sunday best in rags and tatters Love, why do you run? Don't run I'm coming for you And I stumble ever forward My grace is gone but I keep walking on My arms outstretched, I'm reaching for you You can't bury me; I'm never gone Come now There's nowhere else for you to run to Love, now We will be together One bite Is all it takes to bind me to you Now you're in my arms and, dear, you're never leaving And I stumble ever forward My grace is gone but I keep walking on My arms outstretched, I'm reaching for you You can't bury me; I'm never gone And I stumble ever forward Our love is gone but we keep coming on Arms outstretched; we're grasping for it Wish that we had just stayed dead and gone
