Rain
Comic 1344 - Bright Future
Author Notes:
And again, no, this is not the ending. :P
Friendly reminder that starting today we'll be doing a [hopefully, rather short] hiatus. (Perfect timing, because I've gotten no work done in weeks thanks to some technical issues followed by getting pretty sick; still recovering too. But once I recover, it'll be time to play catch up!) I won't name any dates just yet, but I'm hoping I can start posting Chapter 42 some time in February (or worst case scenario, March). I'll try to sprinkle in some filler art or Rain Delays in the meantime, but the comic will come back before you know it. ^_^

It's really nice to see Rain's presence making a difference in others' live, like Emily and Ana opening up to her, Aiken improving his relationship with her and Jess, and helping Brother Arthur give the courage to talk with Will again.
Right now, I am questioning my romantic and sexual orientation. I know what my gender is, but I really don't know what gender my future love will be. Like you and Drew, figuring out my romantic/sexual orientation is something that doesn't happen overtime, and I should give it time.
This is one of my top favorite webcomics that I've read in my whole life. Thanks again, Jocelyn, and I look forward to the rest of the chapters in this comic! I also can't wait for Ryan to meet Rain! ^_^ Just take it easy and hope you feel better soon!
This comic helped me in so many ways, and it's helped so many others
Representation is important and Jocelyn has offered something that has touched the LGBTQ+ community in a powerful way
Is this the last time we see Brother Artur?
And now is the perfect time to begin the semifinals for the Rain Favorite Character Tournament! Vote here in the first semifinal, which, admittedly, I don't expect to be close. Voting will last for two weeks.
Thank you so much for this comic!
It's helped me alot with figuring myself out, and I've figured out that I definitely want to be a girl!
This comic has given me so much more confidence, and I hope that going into my last year of secondary school I will be able to find out more about myself and become more the person I want to be!
But in a good way.
As nerve-wracking as it is to be pulled aside, I've learned that we need to keep tabs on the kind of person each person we know is. What we know about them, what they do and how they know us.
And if they pull us aside, and they're someone we trust. Sure, it's nerve-wracking for a bit, but we can remind ourselves that they're a good person and it's probably going to be OK. Like this.
They do! Check them out here. ^_^

I was a bit surprised (but very happy) to find when I came back that Rain was still running, and I'm excited that I'll be able to follow along in the comments section for the finale (which sounds like it's likely to be sometime in this coming year, if I haven't missed something?), and even more excited to see Jocelyn's next project, whether it's her Nuzlocke comic or one of her other story ideas.
(On a side note, I'm slowly catching up with the Pokemon games, since the last main series game I played years ago was Diamond. I'm finishing up HeartGold now, and plan to go in order until I've gradually caught up to the current games. So if the next project *is* the Nuzlocke comic, there's a good chance I'll be going through that game for the first time at the same time the comic is starting. :D )
Oh well. All the best to him.
Definitely not me. I've been to Pennsylvania a few times, but I don't think I've ever been to Pittsburgh. That said, even if I was over there, you might still not see me. I'm very high risk, so let's just say I haven't gotten out much in the last year. XD
To be fair, though, I've been told I have a lot of doppelgangers. Perhaps you've just run into one of them. ^_^
it has directly played a part in the development of my identity. My name change certificate says "NEW GIVEN NAME: RAIN" for a reason.
I wish to say that this is indeed a fitting end to Rain's school arc, and while I am saddened to see it conclude (what may one say but that it is a time of seishun), I am excited to see what changes are in store for her, Emily, and the rest of the cast. Thank you for continuing to tell her story over the years, Ms Samara, and I look forward to seeing what dreams may come.
