#admin rain

Just a heads up, there’s a good chance there won’t be any site updates over the next few days. We’ve actually for real started adding the new analytics tag to all of our pages and, given how many pages we have, it’s probably going to take a while.

We’ve been doing pretty constant work since Wednesday evening and we’ve only done 360. Which, on the one hand, is around 10% of our pages. On the other, it’s only 10%.

Here ya go hun. Your first kiss scenario with Josh. I’ll follow up with Dino if I can but I’m afraid I can’t promise anything 

Walking down the empty streets in the afternoon, rain pattered softly against your purple umbrella you surrendered to Joshua.

Really, you got the whole gentleman thing wasn’t just an act for the camera with him, being he was raised right, but you weren’t raised to be dependent on him or any one for that matter; it was just an umbrella, you didn’t get why Josh was so insistent.

“Josh, are you okay? You look tired, did you get some rest after that V-live last night?”

Joshua nodded “Of course.”

Bold-faced lie. He hand’t gotten a wink of sleep; he’d been up all night, going back and forth from his bed, to the living room with his guitar, to the kitchen. At some point Sungcheol came out telling Joshua he was being too loud and exiled him to his room where’d he’d been too loud there and got pillows thrown at him for it. He couldn’t help it, he had been too excited at the prospect of his first date with you but then he’d been nervous.

Ha. Nervous?

More like he was a complete wreck after realizing if he messed up he’d not only ruin his chances with you but ruin the friendship he’d built with you since you two even knew the concept of friendship and you would most likely hate his guts and never talk to him again and he would become nothing more than a bad memory, that guy who’d given her a horrible first date and ruined romance for her to the point where she would curse his name forever.

Was that exaggerating? Nah.

“Oh so I suppose the BB cream and concealer is just for me and not those gucci purses beneath your eyes. ” You give him a knowing look, making him feel guilty for lying in the first place. “I’ve known you since before either of us could walk Hong, you can’t lie to me” You click your tongue in disapproval; stopping  right in the middle of the sidewalk and step in front of him.

He tries to say something but you take his hand in yours and your touch sends electricity running up his arm, ties his stomach and tongue in knots a boy scout couldn’t figure out. You looked up at him with a glint in your eyes, the faintest hint of a smile playing on your lips behind the stern façade you were putting on. His heart pounds in his chest at how close you stood to him and he can’t tell if it’s because of the rain and limited area of protection the umbrella provides or if it’s because you want to be near to him. He hoped it was the latter.

“Honestly Josh.” You shook your head in mock disappointment but the corners of you mouth were twitching. “What do I have to do to convince you to take care of yourself?”

His breath catches in his throat.

“You know what.” You grin, taking a step closer. “I think I know.”

You kissed him.

He drops the umbrella, hands finding a better purpose in your hair  and cradling your chin. The rain around you goes from the light drizzle it’s been since the morning to a downpour but neither of you care. In the moment of your first kiss, nothing else mattered but each other

Hi. This is just a short-ish post saying that three of the four mods got our accounts terminated out of nowhere. None of us did anything that violated the guidelines, but it happened anyway. Luckily, Rain still has censor account, so we can all post through that and the blog didn’t disappear.

We all have support tickets open with Tumblr, but some people have reported it taking weeks to months to get their accounts back (the longest time we’ve come across is 8 months). Until we can get our accounts back, post on here are probably going to get a little spotty once the current queue runs out.

This also seems to’ve happened to Rando-Pride-Flags, MOGAI-Monarchs, and possibly mp721, and it for sure happened to Page-2IDs(post). At the moment, none of us are sure if we’ll get our accounts back, nor if anyone we mentioned will either.

Hopefully this will get resolved soon, but knowing the wait-times people have been having, that seems unlikely.

Luckily, most of us not really being able to be on Tumblr (we’ve opted to not make new accounts for the time being) means we’ll be able to dedicate that time to the website and there should be a lot more of those pages coming up soon.

Right now, we’re planning on covering:

the Redefinition Controversy

the Lesbian Controversy

the Trickster Drama

the issues with Kenochoric

the issues with Vincian

the lack of history sections and sourcing

new pages being used to coin terms

more in-depth on the Atmospheric System than we did on that page

There will likely be more sections added as time goes on (the Alex J page was only supposed to be on racism, the stuff with Oakrph, the stuff with Oxigenders, and the Discord thing), but this feels like a good list for now.

At some point later on, we might open up a blog just to get submissions for controversies and other problems with it, but that’s going to be after we finish this list if we do it at all.

I’m gonna do my best to keep y’all more updated on this than we did the Alex J page (we meant to be pretty open about that and just... forgott) because I know there are people interested.

Alright. The TGCE/Alex J. page is back up under a slightly new name.

This post was originally supposed to be a pretty longwinded rant about some things that came up in eir reblog from the new The-Gender-Collector-Emself, but I don’t have the energy for that and I think I can get my ideas across in way fewer words (but still kind of alot).

1. We will not be removing Alex’s blog names from any of our pages on terms that ey coined. Why? Because the point of Wikis and archives is to organize and archive information and history in regards to whatever that Wiki or archive is centered on. When it comes to terms like ours is, part of that information is who coined a term. Someone’s feelings or supposed noble goal to ‘not remind people of eir existence’ does not change that. Plus, removing eir name from things actively makes it harder for people who want to avoid flags (and even terms) that ey made to do so. They would have to go through every place online that might have that information to figure that out. It’s not fair to make people go through all that work because of someone else wanting to just kind of... fade away, or whatever.

2. We will not be changing any quotes or censoring any screenshots that do use eir last name. This is because, again, as a Wiki/archive, it’s our job to present the most and most accurate information in regards to our topic of focus. This includes not altering quotes or previously existing images to meet the requests of the person the page it focused on, because that changes the accuracy and integrity of our Wiki. Any times that we used it separately from quoting someone or using an image will be changed, because the name that we are now using is the most accurate information, in regards to Alex’s name. However, the name used in quotes and screenshots is what is most accurate to what’s being presented, where what people were using was Alex’s name, and the inclusion of the full name is accurate to the quotes.

We haven’t done one of these in a while, huh?

I know we said that the site should be up in April, but we didn’t realize how long the TGCE page was gonna take, plus we decided to change what we wanted to have done before the site went up.

We are getting closer to being done with the TGCE page, but that could still take up to another week and a half. We also decided to have at least 9 pages in every list page for umbrella terms done and to have all the links on those lists done. That should only take another week at max, too, then we’ll (hopefully) be done!
