Howdy! Could we get a member introduction? I’d love to get to know y’all’s names and pronouns ^^

We actually did an essay and interview for the queer horror zine The Quiet Ones last year where we shared some fun intros! I've included screenshots of our intros here, but if you have a chance, you should check out the zine as well: it's run by a delightful group of queer authors and editors.

Here's the link to the issue with the Forgetmenauts feature: our bit starts on page 47.

(Fun fact: Kit is also an author and has had a couple of their short stories published in other issues of the zine, under their full name of Katharine Gripp. They're here and here if you want to check them out!)

Image text below the cut:

Walker Staples (they/them) Instrument(s): Guitar/Banjo/Vocals

Favorite scary movie or book: Let the Right One In.

Favorite cryptid: Jackalope. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: I think it's gonna be Tyler; most resources, best equipped for building booby traps.

Tyler Gary (he/him) Instrument(s): Clarinet, Saxophone, Trombone, Keys. Favorite scary movie or book: Recently I read Mexican Gothic and while it wasn't my all time favorite, it definitely captured some good haunting creepy vibes. Would recommend for the mushroom horror.

Favorite cryptid: The chupacabra. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: I'd be the second or third to die. “Quick everybody, I have a plan! All we have to do is...“ *Dies in a horrible dramatic way*. I think Abe would be last to die. He would disappear early on and we would think he's dead but he actually just went on a hike and came back at the end.

Abe Finkelstein (he/him) Instrument(s): Cello, un-mic'd backup vocals and banter, howling. Favorite scary movie or book: Oryx and Crake. And I listened to a great podcast about Midsommar but will probably never have the guts to watch it.

Favorite cryptid: The Baba Yaga house. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: Definitely Emma. She lives on a sailboat and is a great problem solver, and good at engineering. You might think I was on a hike but I was actually dead the WHOLE time.

Danielle (she/her) Instrument(s): Drums!

Favorite scary movie or book: I am scared easily and don't really watch horror movies! You

didn't ask about this, but my favorite scary-ish video games are The Last of Us and Dead Space.

Favorite cryptid: Loveland frog. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: Walker, they would out-maneuver the attacker/swarm/ pathogen/whatever the horror of the horror movie is.

Kit Gripp (they/she) Instrument(s): Mandolin, vocals.

Favorite scary movie or book: Sunshine by Robin McKinley (ok so it’s not that scary but there’s lots of blood and vampires, so it counts).

Favorite cryptid: Nessie. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: Probably Collin. If it were something corporeal, he'd knock it out with a baseball bat. If it were an angry ghost, he'd talk to it and de-escalate the situation.

Emma Williams Instrument(s): Bass.

Favorite scary movie or book: House of Leaves.

Favorite cryptid: Selkie. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: I think Walker would be the most likely to survive because they are very nimble and quick.

Collin (he/him) Instrument(s): Drums!

Favorite scary movie or book: Hard to pick a favorite scary movie! Maybe Let the Right One In (the original one). It's rare that horror films are at once so beautiful, disturbing, and sympathetic to the villain.

Favorite cryptid: Michigan Dogman. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: Kit survives the horror movie, for sure. Zombie flick? Kit decapitates the shambling hordes with lethal pirouettes. Teen slasher film? Kit distracts the villain with some concocted-on-the- spot YA fiction just long enough that he doesn't even notice he's walking right into his own poetic and ironic death. Vampire horror show? Please. Kit was the vampire. Kit was always the vampire.

i'm bored so here are some random facts about ian mckinley but they're all off the top of my head

- on his villains wiki page, one of his nicknames is listed as "dracula" despite there being no evidence in either the book or the movie he was ever called this

- his name was originally "logan greene" and his cause of death was going to be blown up by fireworks

- there was a period of time one either the final destination fadom wiki or the villains wiki (i can't remember which one) where his full name was displayed as "ianthony mckinley"

- in the book, it is stated that he dyed his hair black and is possibly a brunette (""What's the matter, Zip?" she asked, touching the sharp angle of his jaw and then pushing back. the hair from his frowning forehead. She could see nearly an inch of pale brown root beneath the coal black dye." -faust, page 212)

- also in the book, he is a canonical nine inch nails fan, and so is kevin ("The back panel and window of the car were covered with hundreds of band stickers, mostly weird, creepy names Kevin had never heard of, except for the familiar NIN logo that stood for Nine Inch Nails. Kevin wondered for a passing moment if Ian would be impressed to find out that Kevin liked Nine Inch Nails too, or would he just sneer and say that of course the dumb jock would like the most obvious and commercial of all the bands." -faust, page 155)

my mutual posted its headcanons for ian so i'm doing the same! :33

- autistic. LOVES everything to do with vampires and bats

- HATES being touched by everyone else but erin

- worst eyesight known to man, has to wear glasses (hates it)

- one of his stims is biting, but he has to wear one of those chewlery necklaces or he'll bite/chew on things he probably shouldn't be biting and chewing on (example: people)

- gets frustrated easily, especially when people don't respect his boundaries and/or infantilize him

- EXTREMELY sensitive to bright lights

- (in my au/interpretation) VAMPIRE!!!! fun fact: when he first got his fangs, he had a lisp for quite a while (he still does, but you'd have to be listening pretty closely to hear it)

- has a weighted blanket that he's emotionally attached to

- also has this bat plush he's emotionally attached to (he's had it since he was a little kid and refuses to let it go)

- (modern au) iPad kid but not in a bad way. he mostly watches his favorite movies or shows on it to keep himself occupied if he's at a social event

- resting bitch face but has the sweetest smile ever

- insomniac, has fallen asleep in places he probably shouldn't be sleeping in
