Just because people have been asking, the thing on Lydia's shirt is, of course, a bunny. Specifically, it's actually a My Impossible Soulmate reference (it doesn't make sense now, but someday it will). ^_^
Anyway, this week's pages aren't going to be the most thrilling, but they may be emotional for some of you (at least, they are for me). We're almost there, so please pace yourself and keep some tissues nearby if you think you might need them. :)
Rain, all characters and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to me.
I have a question about your post-Rain projects. When do you see yourself releasing Magical? After IMS is finished or after both MW and IMS are complete?
Honestly, it's hard to say. If you'd asked me in November 2010 when I thought I'd finish Rain, I probably would've said something like 4-5 years, tops. And yet, 11 and a half years later, my life took some weird turns before I finally got to the end. I'm nothing if not committed, but woof, I suck at giving estimates. XD
So the truth is I don't know exactly when Magical is happening. After My Impossible Soulmate, at the very least, but it's hard to say what that really means at this time. Sorry I can't give you anything more than that right now.
ah, I was wondering what Lydia's shirt was a nod to. it'll be interesting to see how the reference gets completed in My Impossible Soulmate. (also ngl I thought it was like Monokuma at first lol)
We don't know, and I probably won't ever say. The nature of transition is that everyone who goes through it has different goals, with varying degrees of value placed on each goal, and sometimes goal posts move further or closer (or outright change) over time for any number of reasons. And in most cases, no one else will ever really know if others reached their goal or not because it's usually kind of a private affair.
So, this much, I'm more or less leaving up to reader interpretation. :)
just commented on a recent page , because you wouldn't read old ones comment i think , it's just to thank you a lot for you did and do, you literally started this comic when i was about 1 , i wanted to write you a big message but i don't think you would've read it , and even tho , you don't even have messages , so just thank you , i'm only on chapter 28 , i started with the start of the year 2022 , i literally read the 4 first chapter in some hours of a sleepless night then , 10 in some hours taken from a week ( 1hours per day) and in about the 15th chapter i slowed a bit the speed x) , so i just wanted to thank you, to thank you because you didn't made my day, you made my life x) , everytime i read a chapter all my fears go away , so be happy you literally made the life of someone , you're my koizumi !!! thanks you , i wanna be your puddle !!! love you Jocelyn Samara DiDomineck where will you do a convention evenn tho america is really far from my country , i'll come swimming , love you ( i know i said it two times x))
as much as i'm looking forward to everything to come, this comic will always hold a special place with me. it helped me come to terms with who i am, helped me open up to my friends, and showed me that, despite my current area trying to prove otherwise, not everyone is going to want me to pretend to be something i'm not. thank you Jocelyn for everything you've done with this comic.
"Hi Lydia's moms!" See, kids just get it, it's great.
But I feel Rain and Colin will recognize each other soon. And it will go really well
You should read the whole page then, 'cause there's a lot more than one sentence here. ;P

No worries there. I'll probably post it here several times so people can't miss it! XD
(also ngl I thought it was like Monokuma at first lol)Oh, god. I didn't even think of Monokuma. XD
That said, nah, Lydia might be a tad young for Danganronpa (or whatever the Rainverse equivalent would be). XD
This is so cute and precious and awesome.
Thank you for bringing this beauty of an adorable comic into my life.
And I love this page but I have a question for Jocelyn before it ends
@Jocelyn
Has Rain accomplished everything she's wanted to in her transition?
We don't know, and I probably won't ever say. The nature of transition is that everyone who goes through it has different goals, with varying degrees of value placed on each goal, and sometimes goal posts move further or closer (or outright change) over time for any number of reasons. And in most cases, no one else will ever really know if others reached their goal or not because it's usually kind of a private affair.

I'm guessing we're going to see more Fara soon.
I've been reading 'This Time For Me; a Memoir' by Alexandra Billings.
While my life hasn't been perfect and has had some pretty low spots
at times, I am also rather glad that I never went through some of the
experiences she went through. I am sure there are folks here who
would also appreciate this book. I know when I was growing up there
were very few books that addressed my feelings ( our 'situation' ) and
the one blurb for this book saying there were NO books in her time was
clearly an overstatement. Still, while there still isn't a LOT of books that address
the issue as well as many of us might like, I know I found it reassuring to know
I wasn't alone. For anyone starting this out, be ready for descriptions of some
really horrid times and events. I am still working toward what has been
promised to be a more satisfying and uplifting ending. This does seem
a very legit narration of a life lived toward better self realization.
From a time when the only available examples were Christine Jorgensen,
Renée Richards and Lili Elbe, we have come a long way. I had
never even heard of Roberta Cowell until recently.
