Rain
Comic 1429 - Hazy
Author Notes:
This is deliberately hard to read in my attempt to emulate that. But because this may actually be too hard for some folks to decipher (and preventing people from reading it all isn't necessarily the goal), I'm gonna just include it down here too.
"I'm sorry if I was too harsh, princess. Never forget that I love you and that I will always accept you. I... I truly hope you get what you want someday."
Anyway, that seems a very different tone than "only girls can be mommies" or "it's a phase". Is it possible Liriel actually did say this and potentially knew what little Rain was trying to say more than we thought? Or is Rain's mind playing tricks on her again?

My next round of dental work is currently slated for November, but as I've discussed, I've still got a lot to save. If you can help, I will be very grateful. If not, no hard feelings. Thank you, either way.

Rain’s mom at first though rain was only talking about being a “stay at home parent”, and associated that with the term mommy. When rain stormed off (pun intentional), rain’s mom realized what she actually meant and went to comfort her
It sounds like Liriel unfortunately fell in love with a truly terrible person, and she let that influence how she acted, at least around him.
I agree with the terrible person statement too- it seems Liriel fell in love with someone similar to her own parents, even though she held different beliefs personally. I love she's a really interesting character, even though she's been dead for this whole comic!
good quote though
And it's a perfect encapsulation of that feeling of remembering something you feel like you wouldn't have forgotten. The fact that new information opened up an extension of a memory is actually how most old memories are recalled.
So for anyone wondering if their suddenly recalled memories from new information are real, the chance is certainly in favor of that.
I hope Rain's memory is real, she deserves it to be.
I want her to have that memory be real
Oh, she's gonna cry.
Let the tears rain!!
Really hope Liriel left something that proves she figured it out and accepts Rain, which with likely pre-memory hints and finding out about the "Take it off" scene and seeing its likely effects wouldn't be too hard.
However seeing as she didn't remember until this moment it could potentially be real because that moment itself wasn't mulled over but nothing with the human mind is ever clear.
what if one of them is her old wedding dress.
In the best way
If it helps Rain deal with life, no harm and no foul. I just hope nothing bursts her bubble.
My praises go here because this page actually has my deadname on it. Top contender for Worst Deadname Ever imho, but I can usually tune it out. It’s not the only instance of the word in the comic, nor the only page that brought me to tears. But the combination of getting Ryaned with words I’ll likely never get to hear from a parent made this beautiful moment hit all the harder. I’ll be alright - I have a loving wife and accepting friends. But still. Even though it’s by coincidence: thank you for giving a sad little Princess a few cathartic seconds of a kinder life.
I got laughed out of the kitchen and felt super sad...
Over twenty years later just when I'm coming out in looking through my memories wondering if there were signs I missed, and I remembered that, buried really deep and couldn't tell if I was just making it up or not, I contacted my mom's friends and describing it in as little detail as possible my mom's friends filled in the blanks, it was real... I felt... Relieved
I had repressed so many memories, becoming such a good actress I fooled myself, knowing there were pieces of the real me shining through all along in little hints did wonders for my own mental health
