Rain
Comic 1209 - Chapter 38 - Supportive
Author Notes:
It's been a weird few months on my end, with me getting a lot done, but not always the stuff I meant to get done. Looking back, it feels somehow very productive, and also like I don't have a lot to show for it. But thank you for indulging me this time to work on some other things so I don't burn out. Now I'm starting to get that itchy feeling from not posting for a while, so I better get back on that! XD
Last chapter, as you might recall, was prom. We got to see the kids looking all dapper and cute (in their tuxes/dresses/monocles/etc), while they chat and dance and character develop. I dare not try to write up a recap because it was the longest chapter in the story by a lot, and quite a bit happened with over a dozen characters. There was so much even, that I had to leave some stuff out.
Particularly, I wanted Jessica to finally approach Aiken. But this arc felt so disjointed from everything going on at prom; there was just never a good time for it. So, I decided the prom chapter would only be prom. If it wasn't happening at prom itself, it'd just have to come later.
And later is now! This chapter runs parallel to prom. Same night, just somewhere else. There will be no cutaways to new scenes at prom, though. There were over eighty pages of prom, so there doesn't need to be any more of it. However, there's more to say for the night itself, so that's what we're going to focus on this time.
Once again, I'm happy to be posting again, and I'm happy to see you all back here. I hope you're looking forward to more laughs, more drama, and more of that Rain experience. If you already have some thoughts to share, please feel free. I'd love to hear! ^_^

On the other hand, aww just a Chapter splash page T.T
totally kidding. I feel like I've checked for updates every week even though I knew it would be a while. Glad to see that you're back
Welcome back!
For me . . . I was on vacation for southern decadence (sorta pride thing but different) and the people I went with knew, but I wasn’t really out yet. I only brought femme clothes, because I wanted to stop being a coward and it was a low risk situation, but when I got there I was afraid to leave the hotel room.
I found Rain, read for about 8 hours straight, got dressed and went outside and everything was better. It’s kept getting better ever since.
Rain is more than a fun story. It’s, like, pixelated therapy somehow.
I think Jocelyn has really helped a lot of people.
I’m 57 now, will turn 58 this spring. But I still feel young in my heart.
Thanks to Jocelyn, not only did I find the push I needed to start my own transition, but also got my new name, which is actually Ruby because my birth first name was Rudy.
This webcomic was also my primary education into learning all the lingo, etiquette, do’s and don’t stuff about being and interacting with other transfolk in the modern times, because everything is very different from when I first tried to transtion myself..... when I was 18, in the year 1980. Literally a lifetime ago, but I’m here now, doing this now, and there’s no turning back. I’ve been on HRT for over 3 years now, just got breast augmentation surgery 6 weeks ago, and definitely look like a completely different person. But I’m not completely different.... I’m just (more) complete now.
Rain is Back!
Jocelyn, I feel like this is a good time to say thank you for writing this comic. It's helped me to both understand trans people and my own sexuality (hetero/demiromantic asexual), and I'm confident enough in it now to gladly wear it on my clothes and as my profile picture.
I look forward to the coming chapter, even though it seems I'll have to wait until the following one to see Rain herself again.
I've been checking every few days despite knowing it wasn't the date yet. Aaaaaaa I am so excited! Also pretty intrigued because that looks like Kellen on the cover...
Someone's doing some bad acid over there.
Its been with me for a few years as I discovered things about myself, and while I have no hopes of ever being out of the closet to one or two people, Ky has become my hero in my bigender quest.
I know its not over, and I intend to keep checking, but I wanted to say thank you, as Rain kept me company on another dark, lonely night and helped chase away the bad thoughts.
