Rain
Comic 1321 - Ryan
Author Notes:
So, it's been a while since we've seen these two. Some of you may be fuzzy on details and struggling to remember what's going on here. And some of you may remember and feel like this doesn't quite add up. Let's address both of these! :)
The last time we saw them was towards the end of Chapter 39, where Ryan here - a trans boy - indeed picked the name "Ryan" for himself. Coincidence? Not really. He indirectly got the idea from Rain (but the two have never actually met).
Just before the name reveal, Rudy offered to introduce Ryan to the main cast, but he seemed hesitant. Now, it's been a a little over a week in canon, but Ryan's exclaiming that he's "never said that before" and that "only Rudy and his mom know now". I hope it's clear that this is meant to imply he hasn't actually met with the main cast yet (I mean, that's probably not something that should be happening off-screen, right?).
Catching up to now, Rudy's mom still struggles to understand her son but the two are getting along better with his dad out of the picture. She's still completely blindsided by this little development, though. Poor lady probably won't ever understand Rudy or his friends. XD
But I hope that clarifies things. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need any further elaboration or refreshers. Other than that, I hope you all enjoy the page!

I'm glad to see Rudy and Ryan having fun. i SHIP IT. Here's to hoping Ryan sticks to Centerville U and gets to see Rudy very often.
Also I am glad to see Rudy's mom being non-threatening at the very least. Her surprise is kind of funny.
Cheers ^_^
Seeing him made my day
Not trying to be rude, just trying to understand
Okay, I actually sort of did do that. Not about my gender, but about my orientation. The first two people I told were my parents, and I got a bad reaction, somewhat softened by the fact that my mom then outed me to my sibling, who reacted really well. After that I decided I would avoid telling anyone unless I expected them to react well. Which, now that I think about it, is probably why I'm so hesitant to fully socially transition: I know there will be some bad reactions.
Addendum:
But my parents even at their worst weren't as bad as the median of what we've seen from Donna. What Ryan does here is more dangerous than anything I've done, both for himself and for Rudy.
EDIT: Somehow I messed up the order of paragraphs on my previous edit. Hopefully I got it right this time.
And yay for Ryan seeming to have some newfound confidence in being himself. :)
I figure they just came over straight from school. No time to change.
Then Donna says "Your new... Wait what..?"
Even if he didn't mean to come out, he's still letting people know.
but like i'm sure they'll meet eventually, so: looking forward to it!! ^_^
