So wait, is that actually how it went down for Kellen and Heather or not? Eh, probably not. But it sounds like they've been keeping things between mostly just themselves (for a long time!). Outside of Aiken "catching them being cute" - and now Rain being told - I wonder how many people actually know about this yet. Maybe Kellen will actually divulge what really happened herself... if she ever stops being so bashful about it. XD
And then Rain's finally addressing the elephant in the room on the second page here (without specifically addressing it). It's been six years, and she has intentionally kept her hair short by her own will. And yet, Rain still has some feelings regarding what happened between them back then; I think that's natural. A betrayal of trust absolutely occurred, and Rain has every right (and intention, it seems) of making sure her sister doesn't forget it.
But that doesn't change the fact Rain wants to move past it, and that she is genuinely excited for Kellen. This is sweet news, after all! It turns out we're allowed to have more than one feeling about people and things. We can be excited and critical at the same time!
Then there's Rain's ring, which people have been noticing asking about since the chapter began...
...Aaaanyway, I hope you liked the pages, and I'll see you next week. XD
I bet that ring when we get a close up is gonna be like from an anime or manga and this whole time was just to make people think that Rain and Emily were married.
On the one hand, I really like this development for Kellen, and I'm feeling so in love with her being all so cute and shy about it. But ye. Rain is right about not being able to forgive and forget everything, but it's a really nice thing for Rain to wish her well. I don't know if I'd be able to do that.
On the other hand, NNOOOOOOO! Scene change! And knowing the chapter flow, we'll know about Rain's ring on Feb 21th 😭
You know the funny part is, if Kellen had never cut her hair, Rain probably never would have found out how much she likes having short hair. It's a fashion she's consistently used for 6 years now... >.>
so... beyond Kellen being ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE about her and Heather's relationship, its worth noting that she's been using the right pronouns for Rain this entire time. i really do think she's grown and changed.
I mean it might very well be different from what you recall, but LGBTQ+ spaces have a huge number of poly people in them currently. Obviously they aren’t fully over lapping communities, but they overlap quite a bit.
When I first saw that this was a two-pager, my first thought was, "Yay, we're going to get a second page with Kellen detailing how she and Heather got together. Given how we've cut away every other week, I was starting to worry we might have a cliffhanger!".
EEEEE Kellen's so cute. And the second panel with Kellen and Heather in it is adorable (the one where their both blushing) I can't wait for another page Monday!
Well Ky did first describe Heather as a "two beer queer" if I remember correctly, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's how things started between her and Kellen. Glad she's embraced her attraction to women now!
Last we saw Heather she said Kellan was a lot like her. So Aiken’s maybe onto something there.
And panel 4 should be the cover image for a page on tvtropes. Probably “Belligerent Sexual Tension”. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BelligerentSexualTension
Her hair was always brown. However, because I felt like I had to change everyone up at least a little bit post timeskip, Heather's hair is slightly shorter than when we last saw it (and curls up at the end instead of curling down). It's subtle, but if she looks different, that's why. ^_^ https://rain.thecomicseries.com/comics/1225
Oh gooddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd cliffhanger
Honestly though, @Jocelyn i love your comic
Has Rain gotten her GRS in the intervening 6 years? I was supposed to have gotten mine in 2020 but the covid pandemic threw a bucket full of monkey wrenches into those plans... now looks like late 2022/ early 2023 will be the earliest possible time for me.... which will put me right over the 6 year mark since I first began my transition.
It was adorable to see Kellen so bashful about her relationship with Heather, though. Worth the wait.
I bet Monday's page is going to be a cutaway to someone else, too. Just to mess with us. XD you torture us with cuteness.
Just Bryer things. It runs in the family. XD
On the other hand, NNOOOOOOO! Scene change! And knowing the chapter flow, we'll know about Rain's ring on Feb 21th 😭

and i'm sure Heather probably helped with that.
I just feel like that’s a lifestyle that I typically don’t associate LGBT with. It’s different, somehow.
Don’t know why this came to mind, but just did.
I know at least several personally
Besides myself and my partner 😉

I really appreciate this discovery it shows that (I’m not excusing this) but that sometimes acting transphobic and homophonic is just a mask.
Though I do not forgive Hellen for what she did but people do mask up these feelings
I personally pretended that I was clueless about the LGBTQIA2S+ community even though the opposite was true😅)
So thank you for creating this world we’re I could see myself threw it.🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
