Rachel Joy Scott @racheljoyscott - Tumblr Blog

April 19, 2026 | Tom Mauser speaks on Daniel, gun control, and copy cats.

I remember him as this really shy kid, great smile, kind of a funny sense of humor, understated, piano player, boy scout. I just see him as a really sweet kid that took on his weaknesses.

I have a fun question! Which of today's trends (kawaiicore, fairycore, grunge, dark academia, clean girl aesthetic and probably others I haven't mentioned) do you think Rachel would like more? I know that she'd probably just enjoy being her own self but which one do you think she'd get inspiration from? 🌼

I think she'd have her own style! Rachel was never one to follow the trends. Anything unique and funky to make her stand out from the crowd. I personally loved her style, but I am biased. 90's fashion has always been my favorite.

Hey there! I found this video of Rachel (in which I turned into a gif) getting ready to bungee jump and Ive never seen it before, I figured I would share it!!

i found it in Instagram haha

Thanks for sharing x

how have you been managing with finding posts about rachel now that her official tag (# rachel joy scott) has been censored after the ban wave? finding new stuff about her has become so hard... do you know any active accounts?

I don't know much about the ban wave. I don't scroll much to begin with on here, for the same reason I presume the censorship has been rightfully put in place. With that being said, I don't know of any active accounts. I mostly just try to keep up with news articles about Rachel. There are some great Rachel accounts that always interact with my posts! As far as new content, it's slim to none. Mostly at the hands of her friends and family at this point. But I don't wish for more. I'm thankful to come across what they choose to share. It's a blessing to continue to learn more about her and the lives she's impacted after all these years.

I know this is a weird question, but do you think Rachel preferred nice, kind guys or more "bad"/"less nice" guys? Because there's this myth that girls like "bad boys" more than nice guys.

From what I've seen, nice boys! The few boys she was linked to were very kind from all reports.

Do you think any of Rachel's family members look at your Tumblr posts sometimes?

For their sake, I hope not. I hope they don't even know what Tumblr is. There is a very dark and distasteful side to this platform.

I'd really like to write a nice message to Rachel's sister, Bethanee...do you know how I could do that? Do you have any advice?

I don't know honestly. I think I tried 7-8 years ago to send an email to one that was listed on her website. I can't remember if I actually sent it or not.

Just checked, listed as for event booking:

Rachel Joy Scott Memorial

6166 South Ponds Way

Littleton, CO 80123

[email protected]

If I did send it, I didn't get an answer.

hey! where were you able to find the covers of rachel's journals with the flowers? (the purple and yellow ones)

closest i could find was 'hobby lobby floral expressions vol (volume) 3' from 1997 (added both vol and volume in case that helps someone's search in the future idk)

Oh boy, no clue... that was quite a long time ago. Is there something in particular you'd like me to look for?

do you ever listen to any type of late 90s music and think "did Rachel ever listen to this?". I get those thoughts all the time!😆

Oh everyday! Movies too. Trends. I will never hear Bittersweet Symphony and not think of her. :)

i know you get this alot but thank you so much for all you do. your posts are incredible and your ability to keep everyone, especially rachel’s, memories alive is so beautiful! thank you

Thank you! I thank you as well. This community, the great people such as anons like yourself, always bring me back. Thank you for honoring Rachel and keeping her legacy alive x

A very simple question: how are you? I hope you're doing well, and don't forget that this community is truly special. Thanks to you. Never stop. A big hug from Italy ❤️🫂

Wow Italy! A big warm hello from New York!

I'm so thankful for your note and for you to be on my blog. I am doing good, and I hope you are doing well too. It was our first warm day of the year today and I'm so excited for spring, and Easter! A dream of mine is to visit Italy, you'll have to share some recs.

Hope you continue to bring light here into the community x

Hey! So, I was looking at some of your older posts (as I do every time I come back to Tumblr...), and I saw one about another backpack Rachel owned, and I thought "why not try and find the exact model?", and so I did! With just a single search, too!

Anyways, here is the model I am 99% sure Rachel owned, all patterns match :-)

For those without an idea of how Rachel's backpack was:

Well, I hope this can be some cool info for your blog! I really appreciate you still being here after the ban wave <3

This is an AWESOME find! Thanks for looking and thanks for sharing. I hope you were able to grab it :)

I thought I would share a bit of soon to be demolished local history, that played a vital role in Rachel's life. The abandond, derelict building in these photos is the former Orchard Road Christian Center. For those of you familiar with Rachel's life story, this is where her Christian youth group called "Breakthrough " was based. It's about a 20 minute drive from the part of Litttleton Rachel lived in. On some nights the group met at members homes, but they all met here at least once per week. This youth group was absolutely pivotal in shaping who Rachel was, and it was here that she had some of her most profound spiritual growth. It has been abandoned now for almost a decade. If you're thinking it looks more like a mall than a church, you're right. It was originally built as the Beaumond Mall, lasted a few years, then tanked. It was purchased buy a church organization who then turned it into a kind of mega church. In 2017 the church and a few other remaining sub-tennants moved on, and sold it to a development group which was unable to do anything with it. The only thing it's used for now is as an occasional training area for local law enforcement. As I said it is scheduled for demolition, and plans are to convert it into a shopping plaza anchored by Whole Foods. I've driven past it every day to and from work for years and thought nothing of it whatsoever, until I recently found Rachel's story. I wanted to share it here before it's gone for good.

Thanks for reaching out, MSW. I was 15/16 when I first heard her story. What a great age, impressionable too. I often reflect on how the trajectory of my development was completely dependent on Rachel's story. It was my first week of high school. It is truly a blessing to grow up and battle teenage years and young adulthood with her as a North Star, a role model, instilling a moral system on kindness. It's such a gift. Share her story! Stay in touch.

One of the first things I learned about Rachel was that she had some insecurities about her appearance—and I always ask myself, "How is that possible?" She was objectively beautiful, one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen—but this reminds us that everyone who seems perfect on the outside actually hides a lot of fragility inside. But she still remains perhaps the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Rachel, even if you can't receive these messages directly, know that you are truly gorgeous (inside and out).

I get this quite often! No one can believe it. But like many teenage girls, this is very common. Even supermodels are insecure. It's almost a rite of passage.

With Rachel, she broke her nose when she was younger on the side walk in front of her house. I know she didn't like the bump it left.

What matters most is the beauty within, and she knew that.

Rachel loved exploring the world and often spoke of her desire to travel. I know it's a complicated question because none of us knew Rachel personally—but where do you think she would have traveled the most? (Europe, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, South America, Asia...)

I try not to imagine beyond limits, but I know she wanted to move to NYC. I can totally see here. I live and work in the city, and sometimes when I'm walking I think to myself I can only imagine what she would accomplish here, how much she'd blossom. Her dreams of being an actress, how vibrant the city was back then too. But it hurts to think about the what ifs, so I stick to all the great she accomplished.
