Reintroducing Myself

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Raine. I’m an author based in the USA, and I primarily write speculative fiction. I was somewhat active before, and I wasn’t doing well at all. Think of this as me reinventing myself.

I used to be bitter and critical. I used to lash out in my pain. I don’t want to do that anymore, and I won’t. I’m archiving all my old content for now, so you won’t see it anymore. My life has gotten a lot better, and I can finally be the woman I am deep down, and I want to reflect that! If you’re one of my old followers, I hope you still like me ^_^!

Continued support from others really helps, so I really appreciate you commissioning me or buying me a coffee. I wouldn’t be where I am now without you; thank you.

I still plan to keep my tag list updated, so if you want to be added or removed from that, let me know!

I feel like every time I really get going on my art, something happens to stop me.

This is a post about being bedridden sick.

How far back in time can you understand English?

Nifty little language game here.

  • I can read back to 1500 with basically no difficulty
  • at 1400 I have to read slowly and carefully, but I can understand all of it save a couple words
  • at 1300 I can still comprehend most of it if I read slowly, but a much larger percentage of the words are unfamiliar to me, even with context
  • 1200 and earlier are almost totally unintelligible

  • I can read back to 1300 with almost no difficulty.
  • The 1200 section is a bit hard for me to parse through, and the lack of meter and rhyme that I’m used to makes it harder. I can still reason, use context clues, and sound things out to know what’s going on.
  • The 1100 section is where I start being unable to get the whole meaning of the passage, even with context clues and ample thinking time. I’d probably be able to do better if I were more awake, but not that much better.
  • 1000 is jabberish.

I’m working on a comic adaptation of “Sir Orfeo”, and it’s wild how perfect “Uncle John’s Band” feels at the top of my inspiration playlist.

A lot of bad things happened to me last year, and it’s the first year that I genuinely feel that the most impressive accomplishment of mine is that I survived.
