Hi! rentherainbringer is a bit of a mouthful, so please feel free to call me Rayne. I'm 18 & a student.

This blog is a mix of whatever tags I have followed on this (hell)site, but my current (likely, undiagnosed) ADHD hyperfixation is 1980s-1990s metal/rock culture.

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

People in my notes of my youth liberation post keep asking me if I think kids should be allowed in bars, and it's driving me up the wall for two main reasons:

1. My original post was talking about the ways I watched my mother get harassed for bringing toddlers to *the grocery store.* Jumping to "omg so you think kids should be allowed in BARS?!" is a hell of a stretch.

2. If you have to be 18 or 21 to get into a bar/club, duh, that's not a place for kids. They check ID at the door for a reason. But not every bar is like that. My favorite local bar is actually a brewery and family pub with board games and big tables for game nights. They host food trucks and have a nice outdoor seating area. I have been up there for multiple community events that welcome kids and families. I have literally held a toddler at the pub while their mama got herself a glass of cider from the bar as an "I just stopped breastfeeding and can have a drink again" treat. Family-friendly establishments that also serve alcohol are, like, 100% a thing. Hell, *Applebee's* has both a kids' menu and an alcohol menu.

”Explain yourself” followed by “stop making excuses” has always baffled me because the fuck you think explaining myself is????

"mothers day" this "fathers day" that

how about a childrens day. how about we have a day where we acknowledge the fact that minors are treated like the property of their parents and lack rights. how about a day where we acknowledge they're an oppressed group too

im sick of everything being centered on parents

What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?

When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.

Bedtime should work like in computer games where I lie down and click "yes" on a menu and then there's an eight hour timeskip and I can get up again all refreshed.

you should care about kids because they’re people, btw. not because they’re “future adults” but because they are people right now and they deserve to be treated like people.

over a week ago, I decided to do a little experiment and post two new oneshots on an entirely new blog that I created with the sole purpose to be anonymous and separate from this blog.

honestly, I thought my best chance would be to write smut, so I did, twice. I made nice graphics and headers etc, used all the right tags. between the two fics, I garnered an average of 203 likes and 8 reblogs. 8.

thirteen people followed me despite knowing that at least 200 had interacted with it.

I watched the numbers (likes only) go up and down a lot and i’m assuming that was down to people liking to “save” and then unliking once they’d read. because so many people still do not know how this platform works.

so all I really took from this was that the fandom is well and truly dying. I don’t get nearly the same interactions on this blog as I used to (reblogs, reviews, asks etc) but my god, it must be so disheartening for new writers to come onto the scene with their fics.

anyway. I guess I just wanted to rant a little. godspeed to those who still write, I admire your passion and dedication and fuck the people who join this site and use it like tiktok x

this is part of why i have so much trouble getting motivated to write. i know i should be doing it for me and that comparison is the thief of joy, but it doesn't make things any easier. people don't actually interact anymore, for the most part, unless they want something from you.

i want to be a writer more than anything and i feel like my shit never gets seen because people bury it in their likes and never look at it.

This is what happens when fandom shifts from community to consumption.

Reblogging not only spreads fandom works across a platform, it also offers the opportunity to comment and share your own thoughts, even if it’s just a silly gif. Sharing fan creations is the foundation of fandom. Without it, we’re only creating for ourselves—which isn’t inherently bad, except we’re all here because we want to share our work with others.

I understand “liking” a fic to read and reblog later. I personally don’t want anything on my blog that I haven’t read; what’s on my blog is a reflection of me. But “liking” a fic to read later and then “unliking” it after reading without reblogging doesn’t build community.

Authors aren’t begging you to enjoy every fic of theirs that you read. They’re begging you to engage with the content you enjoy because that preserves the community.

Guess what? Stranger Things is over. And if people continue to eschew the community that fans have built, that will soon be over, too.
