Rain
Comic 1242 - Chill
Author Notes:
Anyway! Today, we have Rudy and Colette meet up! The page is pretty straight forward on its own, but in case you forgot what was going on with Colette, here's a quick rundown.
Colette attended prom with Aidyn. Aidyn definitely likes Colette, and he seems to like Aidyn back well enough. But Colette hasn't told anyone other than Rudy that he's trans. (That said, Gavin also put the pieces together.) Anyway, Colette turned down offers to trade outfits with Rudy because he didn't want to have to come out yet. But after Rudy ended up trading with Ky instead, Colette got hit with dysphoria. Gavin noticed and offered his blazer, framing it as "you looked cold", and it helped Colette deal much better. Aidyn didn't take it well.
That brings us to now with a lot more links than I expected to have to pull up. I hope that helps, at least. XD

It's not like I felt a need to change my name (technically a nickname I picked up) just cuz I came out as a trans nonbinary woman. Still have a deadname; it's just not cuz I came out as trans.
I stopped using That name bcuz it connected me to my birth father and his family; and I didn't want that connection.
Honestly, I had strongly considered a scenario where Colette would decide to keep his name despite everything. And then everyone - characters and readers alike - would just have to accept he's a man named Colette. XD
But I admit that idea was more because I was a little salty about readers imposing other names he didn't pick, or refusing to address him by name by Colette as he'd asked for the time being. It wasn't really what I actually thought he'd pick, though, so I didn't go that route. I think it'd potentially be a good lesson about how different people view their name and transition differently. That said, I still think the route I did decide on also has important and valuable connotations. Maybe I'll save the "trans character keeps their decidedly gendered name through transition" arc for another time. ^_^
That reminds me. I started reading Sister Claire ages ago, and always meant to go back to it. I really should. Thanks for the reminder. :)
Damn. Come out or not? Betting starts now!
