Friendly reminder that Rain is now available in French (courtesy of the translation of my friend, Mia)! We're up to eight chapters now live as of this weekend, and more will go up every Saturday. ^_^
While I know most of you can and probably do already read in English, the option is there if you're bilingual, or if you know anyone who is more comfortable reading in French that you think might enjoy the story. I invite you to share this with anyone you think this might benefit. ^_^
Actually, it seems to me that this is of benefit for Rain. There's now a "real" Ryan in her circle, so if someone deadnames her, her friends can just assume they're talking about Ryan-2 (i.e., the trans boy named Ryan, not the trans girl whose real name is Rain.) They can even compliment the would-be deadnamer for getting _his_ name right.
He took her deadname and her ex-boyfriend. What else will Ryan take? Her siblings? Her aunt? WHAT ELSE, I ASK?!
But seriously: Sweet page. :D Expected nothing less from Rain.
I'm pretty sure Rudy is into Ryan, and I wouldn't be surprised if that went both ways, so I would definitely say it isn't outside the realm of possibility. ;)
Honestly that was about my reaction when I found myself in this situation, albeit in my case it was him and my parents both drawing from the same source material rather than any prior contact.
Still funny though, especially when your deadname's already one in a million :'D
Pretty much how I thought it would go. Rain has gone through too much character development for her to have gotten mad or sad from this. I figured that yeah she'd be a bit happy that someone has a use for that name.
I think it started earlier than that. I might be wrong but I swore I read the term online when I was still living in my parents house in 2011. And I was not particularly plugged into the LGBT community. This comic introduced trans as a labeled thing to me.
that's super interesting!! the earliest reference i could find to it online was from january 11th 2012 and it claimed to be the origin of "deadname" as a term...but people must have been using it before that because the reference was making fun of cis people not knowing what it meant!
Mawwww trop chou ! Je suis contente que Rain l'est bien pris !! Ca me rappelle les deux persos principaix de Hourou Musuko , une fille et un garcon trans qui ont echanger leur prenoms !
Yay! This is so cute <3 I'm glad Rain feels comfortable in her body to share the fact she's trans. It's very difficult to share such a personal thing. But it feels so incredible to finally share it with someone when you meet someone you trust <3
Hey I wanted to leave this comment. I really do enjoy your comic and its helped me a lot figure out who I am. It's even helped showed me how much of a monster I was.
Even though I had a feeling it would play out like this, I was still anxiously awaiting to see how the situation would pan out. Glad to see it went well! Rain has come so far.
I'm french but I read the whole comic in English. I might re-read it in french when there are more chapters out !
But seriously: Sweet page. :D Expected nothing less from Rain.
Rain and Gavin: ".........................."
Still funny though, especially when your deadname's already one in a million :'D
No reason to be so tense anymore, right?
This is super cute and pretty much what I expected. I was guessing either a giggle or a hug for this page.
