Rain's pinned post

Name: Rain

Pronouns: they/them

Age: early 40s

Other stuff: non-binary / agender, aroace

I'm taking over from Winter who started this blog - Winter and Rain are the same person, just different... perspectives? facets? points of view? I don't know how to put it. Anyway I'm still me, as in I have all my memories and everything, but at the same time I don't really feel like the same me, and I need to acknowledge that otherwise I feel I'm pretending to be Winter and it feels wrong. (Also, I'm not nearly as obsessed with Conclave as I was as Winter. Sorry.)

I have no idea how long I'm going to be around, but even if it doesn't last long it feels important to note that this happened. So.

I'm doing a Skulduggery Pleasant liveblog at the moment, we'll see how long I keep it up but it's happening here.

This is my profile picture (with ID in alt):

My username is inspired by lyrics from the song “Sisyphus” by Andrew Bird (“See my house down there but I lost it long ago”).

My blog title is something I think about a lot but in this specific case it is a line from Pet Shop Boys’ song “The Pop Kids” (on YouTube - flashing lights warning).

Winter's past pinned posts are here.

Check in tag!

Thanks for tagging me, @druidx! :)

1. Why did you choose your url?

Well, Rain is my online name, and I write so... tada!

2. Any sideblogs? If you have them name them and why you have them?

Yes! This is my main blog but I also have a personal sideblog (random reblogs for funsies and interests and whatnot) and a music side blog that I am not so active on anymore. I do miss it sometimes. I made it when I was in high school and entering college as a music major.

Personal: @cm-mas

Music: @sopranoandthealtoclef

3. How long have you’ve been on tumblr?

Since 2010, so about 11 years, now... which is still hard to believe sometimes.

4. Do you have a queue tag?

Nah, I either hit reblog now or go radio silent later.

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I joined Tumblr back when I was a teenager. Initially I actually did join to genuinely blog and write about life, but obviously my experience of Tumblr and the intent behind my blogs has morphed over time with the growth of both my personal life and the platform itself.

6. Why did you choose your icon?

Because I love the Miraculous fandom and who doesn’t stan Marinette with her hair down?

7. Why did you choose your header?

It’s a photo of a sunset I took right before I left my last town. Honestly, I just thought it was lovely, so why not, right?

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

Definitely something from my music blog, and not this one!

9. How many mutuals do you have?

I have... no idea. Is there even a place to check that number?

10. How many followers do you have?

That’s classified information.

11. How many people do you follow?

[REDACTED]

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

Every post could be a shit post with the wrong right attitude

13. How often do you use tumblr each day?

Oh God, I don’t even know lol. Multiple times a day every day, but I don’t time myself when I just open the app here and there while at work.

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?

I think when I was a teen I tried to call somebody out for a personal story of theirs about an interaction manatee that sounded fake, based on how they’re protected in my state. But then they contacted me and I felt like a huge jerk (which I was) and I apologized because who am I to say what did or didn’t happen?

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

There’s no need to senselessly pressure those around you.

16. Do you like tag games?

Oh, I do! I can sometimes be genuinely terrible about following through with them but I love the friendship and fun behind them.

17. Do you like ask games?

I like those, as well!

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

I genuinely have no idea. But whether or not someone is Tumblr famous doesn’t matter to me, so long as we’re nice to each other.

19. Do I have a crush on a mutual?

No, though I do have mutuals who are such wonderful, wonderful people and deserve all the love in the world!

20. Tags?

Sure! How about @inimoo @coccinelle-et-chaton @fleur-de-jasmin-fdj @holst-note @odysseywritings @sweaters-and-rainy-days  @ayzrules and whoever else would like to join in!

alright since i’m “formally” in the tolkien community now i thought i’d share this (whether ppl love or hate the hobbit idc BUT) i met Graham McTavish (Dwalin) in 2016 or 2015 i believe.. and I just think you guys should know, not only was he incredibly kind and reminded me of a teddy bear (he was super tall and smelled really good, super cuddly and called me sweetheart multiple times), BUT. 

 Whatever Peter Jackson puts in the casts food that makes them all act like toddlers-- it absolutely sticks around. He was fucking hilarious and I’m sure the same could be said about every one else. 

I do have a photo maybe I’ll share at some point but just a fun fact abt me for now :D

CERITA SANG HUJAN

Seandainya saya boleh memilih, saya tidak ingin menjadi hujan. Saya ingin terlahir sebagai matahari yang terlihat perkasa, yang oleh sebagian manusia dijadikan Tuhan. Katanya, matahari adalah sumber peradaban. Tanpa matahari, bumi kehilangan sumber daya yang amat besar. Bahkan, saya ada karena sang matahari pula. Sedangkan saya, hanya sebuah hujan yang sering disalahkan jika ada pemukiman manusia yang hancur atau rusak. “Hujan lebat membuat sebuah kampung di daerah Jawa Timur kebanjiran”, begitulah yang saya dengar dari seorang warta berita ketika saya mengintip di balik jendela rumah seseorang. Pernah juga saya melihat judul berita di koran, bunyinya begini : Hujan Lebat dan Angin Kencang Sebabkan Longsor di Daerah Sukabumi.

Sebenarnya sudah lama saya jenuh dikambing hitamkan sebagai perusak dan penghancur. Padahal setelah saya amati, ternyata memang manusianya saja yang tidak becus mengelola tata ruang mereka. Coba kalau mereka menyisakan lahan untuk resapan air yang saya keluarkan, tentu tidak akan banjir. Atau kalau mereka tidak membangun rumah di lereng yang curam atau struktur batuan yang lemah, tentu tidak akan longsor. Tapi mana mau mereka mengerti. Pokoknya kalau ada bencana seperti itu, pasti ulah Sang Hujan.

Dulu, ketika saya masih menjadi air di sebuah sungai, saya bercita-cita untuk menjadi hujan yang banyak membawa manfaat. Mimpi tersebut saya dapatkan ketika sungai tempat saya mengalir melewati belakang sebuah surau yang sedang mengadakan pengajian. Saya mendengar bahwa hujan adalah rahmat dari Yang Maha Kuasa. Lantas saya mendengar sang Kyai membacakan sebuah ayat yang bunyinya begini, “Dan Dialah yang menurunkan hujan sesudah mereka berputus asa, dan menyebarkan rahmat-Nya ......” Setelah itu, saya langsung menggebu-gebu ingin cepat-cepat menjadi hujan.

Makanya, ketika saya menjadi hujan dan ternyata justru dituduh seperti itu, saya merasa kecewa. Tapi mau bagaimana lagi, saya hanya bisa memendam kekecewaan tersebut dan melaksanakan rutinitas seperti biasa. Hingga entah bagaimana ceritanya, saya sampai di sebuah samudera luas. Di sana saya bertemu berbagai jenis air dari berbagai daerah. Mereka saling bertukar cerita. Sedangkan saya cukup mendengarkan saja karena tak mau ribet berhubungan dengan sesama air.

“Saya pernah dibawa jauh oleh awan ke puncak gunung, dan turun di sana. Karena suhunya dingin sekali, saya berubah menjadi salju,” kata air yang berasal dari sebuah daerah yang suhunya sangat dingin. “Kalau saya, dulu sekali pernah menjadi hujan di sebuah kota yang baru saja terkena bom. Lalu saya berubah menjadi hujan hitam. Jika diingat ingat, itu saat paling tragis dalam pengalaman saya.” kata air yang berasal dari daerah yang sekarang adalah daerah maju. Saya menjadi semakin tertarik dengan percakapan tersebut.

Ternyata menjadi hujan memiliki banyak cerita. Ada yang pernah melewati sebuah daerah yang sangat kering namun subur dan makmur, ada yang menemani seorang gadis patah hati setelah ditolak seorang lelaki, ada pula yang menemani seorang nenek tua menikmati sisa sore di beranda rumahnya. Bermacam-macam cerita saya dengar dari mereka.

Pada intinya, menjadi hujan tidak buruk juga. Terbukti saya sedang menuju sebuah daerah yang terkena kemarau panjang. Hujan sudah lama tidak turun di sana. Akibatnya padi tidak bisa dipanen, tanaman menjadi layu, dan manusia susah mencari air. Ketika saya turun menjadi hujan, mereka keluar rumah dan menyambut saya dengan suka cita. Anak kecil basah kuyup sambil menari-nari di jalanan. Para orang tua mengucap syukur kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa karena mengabulkan doa-doa mereka. Sedangkan tetumbuhan meliuk-liuk tertanda bahagia. Dan hewan-hewan menadahkan kepala ke atas ingin merasakan segarnya air hujan.

Saya teringat pengajian dan ayat yang dibacakan Pak Kyai saat dulu. Ternyata benar, hujan adalah rahmat bagi semesta. Adapun bencana hadir sebagai peringatan kepada manusia untuk memperbaiki pola hidupnya. Maka, saya tidak lagi iri kepada matahari. Sekarang saya bangga menjadi hujan, asal bukan hujan di pipimu ^^

Thank you for the tag @shimmersing​!!<3 Are you named after someone? I'm named after a character in a movie that my Mom thought was really beautiful. My middle name is a name that a lot of girls in my family have been given over the generations, but it's not after anyone in particular. When was the last time you cried? Today. I cry a lot. Do you have kids? No, I'm childfree. :) Do you use sarcasm a lot? Not very much.  What’s the first thing you notice about people? Their energy. Sometimes when I meet someone I immediately get very good or very bad vibes from them, and that's usually correct. What’s your eye color? Blue. Scary Movies or Happy Endings? Happy endings. Any special talents? Writing, dancing and photography. Where were you born? Western Europe. What are your hobbies? Writing, dancing, painting, reading, playing SWTOR, collecting pins and photography. Do you have any pets? Two cats. How tall are you? 4'11". I always wanted to be really tall, which is why Viri is! :) What sports do you play/have you played? I know how to cross-country ski, I can ice skate and roller skate, and I was on a gymnastics team as a kid. Right now the only sporty things I do are 5Ks from time to time.  Favourite subject at school? Art and languages. I was lucky enough to have some really good language teachers. I was into science but didn't enjoy it in school because the classes weren’t very much fun, so I just read a lot of biology and medical texts on my own. In college I loved science and had some really amazing professors there. Dream job? Working for NASA. Being part of their Dawn, Cassini or New Horizons projects would have been the dream of dreams for me.
