Rain
Comic 1267 - Just a Zelda
Author Notes:
But yeah, my plan was to post this when said Direct was announced as a prediction they'd talk about it. But then they sprung the Mini Direct without warning (and didn't talk about this game), and I was left with no idea when to post this. With rumors that it could be as late as the end of Summer before another Direct happens, I guess I'm just gonna dial back on the predictions and cleverly timed posts here.
I don't know when that Breath of the Wild sequel is happening or even getting more news. If it takes a while, so be it. But I still have this Zelda drawing I've been sitting on for like four months now and I just don't feel like holding it back anymore. Especially since I'm not posting anything else these days, it might be time to dig up some things I never got around to posting. So, there's no timing and no attempts to call anything here. It's just... Zelda. XD

Anyway, this was really fun to draw, because as much as I think BotW Zelda is my favorite iteration of the character, I've just never drawn her before (drew a lady Link once, but not this Zelda). Got really experimental with light and shadows for once too. It's probably not great, but I'm pretty proud of it.
Not too much else to say unless I start unloading about what I want to see in that sequel. I don't know if anyone wants to hear more rambling out of me now, though. Either way, you can probably guess what one of my hopes for the game is from this pic. ;)
And, I hope you like it~!
Here you go. :)

Also just wanted to say that I first found Rain last year when I was stuck with my rather unpleasant family, and it brought me a desperately needed sense of validation and hope. It's probably the best trans media of any kind I've ever seen; something my lonely questioning self really needed to see. Thank you :)
Try this one! :D

Thanks again for this amazing comic it is a light in the dark cave of trying to work out my gender =/ .
=)
As far as I can recall, the online comic hasn't given any indication that Brother Arthur is asexual. He sort of hints that he might be aromantic in his conversation with Rudy during "Sunny," but his words are far from an explicit confirmation. (The cast page doesn't say he's aro, but IIRC Jocelyn made a comment on DeviantArt that he is.)
Yeah, it's never specifically stated in the story. It's always been planned as part of his character, but I basically never came up with a reasonable way to have it mentioned. But yes, to confirm, Brother Arthur is ace aro.
And there's still time for things to get brought up. Anything can happen. :)
He would have taken a vow of celibacy, yes, but that's really independent of him being asexual. Being ace and abstaining from sex for your faith are two very different things. You can celibate without being asexual, and you can be asexual and still have sex. The two actually have nothing to do with each other.
I have been thinking and I want to write a fanfic on this. (It would be a fancomic but I cannot draw anywhere near as well as you)
It would be either a gender swapped version, a magical version or just a more novelic version.
Would that be okay with you?
I have huge respect for you and I know your work is copyright so I wanted to ask.
Like a Rain fanfic? Yeah, I'm open to it. :)
*Urge to write fanfics intensifies*
I'm a trans girl too, and I'm still sort of in the first stages of my transition. What kind of falsies did Rain have/has (like in the first real chapter)? I've been trying to look for something similar but I can only find really expensive things that I'm not sure are even relevant to me.
I know what you're talking about with the super expensive falsies one might see online, because back in my early stages, I remember being very discouraged by that too. The good news is there's a much simpler, much cheaper option! I ended up getting mine (aka, the ones that inspired what Rain has) at my local Walmart right in the bra section for like $13. They're just simple soft foam pads you slip into a bra that add to the bust and feel comfortable and mostly unobtrusive. You can wash them or replace them if need be and all is good.
They might also have adhesive silicone padding available, which probably costs a little more but should still be under $20. I personally preferred the foam ones in general (more comfortable to wear for long sessions, easier to work with), but the adhesive ones probably looked a bit better.
I can't name brands or anything, unfortunately. I know I had to replace mine a couple time over they years, but they always seemed to be in different boxes when I'd get them again (and it's been a while since I've even needed them). But the different brands always worked the same, so whatever they have should work. :)
Anyway, this was long-winded, but I hope it helps. If you have any further questions, I'm always happy to help if I can. ^_^
Thank you so much for replying! I'm sorry if it's too much to ask, but even if you don't know the exact brand names, do you know the general type of name I should be searching for? I don't know if searching for "falsies" would turn up the results I want, so maybe there is a more technical term for what they are?
I'm sorry if that's a stupid question. Thanks a ton for responding and the detailed message.
Not a stupid question at all. :)
I believe the more technical term would be "bra inserts" or "breast forms" or something along those lines. Falsies are more of an informal term that just sounds more fun, so I default to saying that. XD
