## Author Notes

And that about wraps up Chapter 1.

Although I originally considered a short hiatus between chapters, I’ve come to the decision that, “Nah, that idea sucks. Nobody likes waiting. And since I’m doing so well with keeping up with pages, it’s not even like such a hiatus is necessary.” So be sure to stay tuned for Chapter 2, coming up this week via the normal update schedule! ^\_^

I’d like to make a special shoutout to a friend of mine for stating: *“Gavin made Rain cry. I'm sticking with calling him Jerky McJerkface until he apologizes.”* I was so amused by the name I actually changed Maria’s dialogue a little in the third panel to add it into canon… just like I told myself I wouldn’t. But you know what, it actually does suit her to say that somehow…

## Quotes

*A lot of bands' first singles, they're kindo of finding their feet. We hit the ground running with that one. It was written and recorded in one night in Liverpool. We went in to do a demo of Bring It on Down, and we couldn't get it right. And we had to have something. I went in to the back room and wrote Supersonic in about half an hour. Recorded it the rest of the night. That's the rough mix and it ws never remixed. Magical night.* - Noel Gallagher, 2006
Strange Thing

Strange Thing is a song written by Noel Gallagher best known for its appearance on the Live Demonstration tape handed in June 1993. It is the only song on the tape that did not see an official release on *Definitely Maybe* or as a b-side to the singles.

## Song History

The song was demoed by Oasis with The Real People in either 1992 or 1993, and makes an appearance in rough mix form on the 1992/93 demo compilation tape purchased by Live4ever forum member Noelsoasis with contributions from other members in February 2013. This version features, among other differences, double-tracking of Liam's vocals which would be removed in the mix featured on the Live Demonstration tape.

The song would appear on the Live Demonstration tape in a more polished mix:

The song was finally given an official release with the 2014 reissue of *Definitely Maybe*, 21 years after it was originally demoed.

## Official releases

Demo (5:14)

* Available on the 2014 *Definitely Maybe* reissue and the replica Live Demonstration tape.

## Lyrics

Here lives a pocket full of lives with no solution
Take it for what it is, it's only drunken lies
You should open up your mind, look to the future
You could be waiting for the ship that sails you home
I'm going home

What would you give me for the songs that I've been singing
How could you ever say that you've got more than me?
Mick say's that he can never get no satifaction
These day's I think I know exactly what he means
What does he mean?

You won't get
You don't get
What you need
Life is a strange thing

You won't get
You don't get
What you need
Life is a strange thing now

Here lives a pocket full of lives with no future
Take it for what it is, it's only drunken lies
You should open up you mind, look to the future
You could be waiting for the ship that sails you home
I'm going home

You won't get
You don't get
What you need
Life is a strange thing

You won't get
You don't get
What you need
Life is a strange thing now

## Live performances

Strange Thing has not yet been performed live by Oasis.

## Quotes

“The first song I wrote [for Oasis] was Columbia, then came Rock ‘n’ Roll Star, a song called Strange Thing, which is still knocking about, and Whatever.” – Noel Gallagher, The Times (UK), 26th August 2000

## Author Notes

Soooo… Heather’s deal, anyone? For pretty much the whole story, she’s been a bit of an enigma, but we’ve never come any closer to understanding her. Now we’re finally slowly learning *something*, except for the fact that we’re not. Whatever it is though, even Kylie is in the dark about it!

Thoughts? ^\_^

There we were now here we are
All this confusion nothings the same to me
There we were now here we are
All this confusion nothings the same to me

But I can't tell you the way I feel
Because the way I feel is oh so! new to me
No I can't sell you the way I feel
Because the way I feel is oh so! new to me

What I heard is not what I hear

What I heard is not what I hear
I can see the signs but they're not very clear

This is confusion am I confusing you?

## Lyrics

Maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
'Cause I just wanna fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I just wanna fly
Want to live I don't wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

I said, maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
'Cause I just wanna fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
Now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
'Cause I just wanna fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I just wanna fly
Want to live I don't wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Gonna live forever

## Author Notes

I’m sure to some people, it might sound a bit farfetched that someone could be less popular for having big boobs. I’ve heard this kind of story from more than one source though.

Highlight of the page: Panels 4 and 5 make me laugh. Hard. (Fun fact, as often as I copy/paste in this comic, those two panels were actually drawn separately. It’s subtle, but her head actually moves slightly.)

410:Identities

## Author Notes

My own therapy experience takes place in an establishment like this where everyone who practices there (as far as I’m aware) focuses on matters of gender, sex and the like. The therapist helping me had dealt with MANY trans patients before me. And honestly, I couldn’t have asked for better.

I wish places like this were everywhere. I know too many people who could benefit from something like this.

Slime

**Slime (Japanese Name: Suraimu)** is the sixth fastest racer. He places 6th and is rewarded without a trophy and instead applauses for the other five racers. He has okay speed 7 of 12, okay acceleration 7 of 12 and okay handling 7 of 12. His attack is the Giga Mushroom, growing four times his size, while Enderman grows twice his size. His love interest is Peach. He is a heavyweight racer.
106:Bi

## Author Notes

Enter Aunt Fara, who can apparently recover from hangovers simply by willing it to be! Or something…

Anyway, to answer many peoples’ questions from the previous page, Aunt Fara is bisexual. I think she’d normally have higher standards than to make out with someone she just met (and can barely tolerate), but as she’s said, “it’s been years”. And for what it’s worth, they were both under the influence of alcohol.

Heather’s sexuality however remains pretty unclear. We’re left with the impression that even Kylie can’t say for certain… but his “two-beer queer” theory seems like a safe bet.

Also, panel 6 may win the award for one of my favorite panels in the whole comic so far.

401:Case

## Author Notes

It’s been addressed many times throughout the story that Rain does not have a phone. Or a “FaceSpace” account. The introvert that she is, it was just never terribly important for someone like her to be able to connect. I used to be like that myself. Still am, really (except that I’ve opened up enough to have a phone and  Facebook).

Even if you’re not into something, a small personalizing feature like a case can be a powerful motivator.

## Author Notes

The truth about Rain’s parents - moreso her mother - finally comes out on this page. I feel there’s a good chance many people have suspected it for a while, though I am kind of relieved to finally be able to mention it in canon. I’m sure some people will rag on me about “how cliché it is that the main character’s mother is dead”, but I would kindly remind those same people to keep reading. ^\_^

134:Getting Ready

## Author Notes

Ah. A “Rain and Fara bickering” page. It’s been too long. ^\_^

In case you’d forgotten, you’ve seen “Halloween Princess Pandora” before here - 117:Long Hair
But you can see a better pic here - Halloween Princess Pandora

There are a couple other things to mention, and they primarily revolve around hair! First, Maria did indeed begin growing her hair out like she said she would in the last page of the last chapter. It’s hard to tell though. I was originally going to have it be noticeably longer, but after some research, it seems her hair would’ve realistically only grown maybe an inch (maybe an inch and a half tops) in that time between the end of the last chapter and right now, so it doesn’t as visible as I’d like it to be even though she IS growing it out.

Then, there’s the more obvious point, Rain outright changed her hair. We can see both eyes for once! And that’s going to be like that ALL CHAPTER LONG! Aaaaaaahhh!!!

## Author Notes

This is an actual dare that I witnessed while playing the game one time. I can’t vouch if it’s really that bad, but the person who was dared to do it, acted kinda like that. Maybe they were playing it up, but I can’t imagine it being terribly pleasant all the same. XD

Not my favorite page, but eh, I hope you guys like it.

Dialogue~!

Originally, I was thinking I’d cut back to the scene with Ryan and Aiken here. I decided to extend this scene with Gavin and Ruby though. These pages were going to come in either way, but I feel like there’s a better flow with showing it right now. Besides, a lot of people have been asking questions about why things are going in the direction that they are. Since this page addresses many of them, it’s probably better to get things in there a bit sooner. I hope this clarifies things, at least a little.

375:Devon

## Author Notes

Obviously, what Devon is saying is completely horrible, and yet in his mind, it’s all just friendly banter. These kinds of pages never really get easier to write. Rudy seems to be good at playing along with situations like this (I guess you could say he’s a good actor), but is it the right thing to do?

On a lighter note - just ‘cause I’ve been talking fashion lately - I wanted to draw attention to what the boys are wearing. Honestly, there’s little to report on Devon. I just seem him as the type to always be very casual, even on a date. I can imagine Holly giving him an earful about that, but it’s just not his style. Rudy finds himself in a blue button down. This particular design came to me on account of A FANART someone had drawn depicting him in a blue button down. I went with a darker shade, but I have the artist to thank for Rudy’s design in this chapter. ^\_^

287:Out-of-Character

## Author Notes

I know. Kind of a short page, but it’s a perfect way to open this chapter. And it includes a rare sighting of Liriel’s face too (first time outside of *Volume 1*, I think)!

Aiken’s point is one I’ve heard in real life far more often than I like. Many people (not ALL, but many) who do not understand transsexualism are quick to think we’re ready to drop everything and become a completely different person. The ironic thing, is that in 99% of cases, we really don’t change. We ALWAYS had these inclinations, but we couldn’t act on them because we were either hiding it or in denial.

I can tell you for my part, I hated getting clothes for Christmas or my birthday. I just wanted games! But in my eyes, of course I don’t care about yet another shirt and jeans. If my mom had gotten me a dress though, it probably would’ve been a different story. Do I still want the games? Hell, yes! But I can wear my pretty new dress WHILE playing them. ^\_^

399:Trans AND Gay

## Author Notes

Hey, look! Everyone we haven’t seen in a long time! :D

As Jessica says, it can be a nuisance to be trans and gay. There’s one question in particular that any of us in this situation have no doubt heard. And that’s something along the lines of: “What’s the point of transitioning if you’re just going to date girls?” (or vice versa for gay trans men). I’ve heard it more than a few times myself.

So, I actually wanted to include this nuisance of a question, but I felt like Rain’s friends wouldn’t really be the types dumb enough to say something like that. Some of their commentary or questions are still pretty asinine (in fairness, most of them are hardly experts on the subject of trans matters), but that particular question doesn’t normally come from the open-minded crowd.

271:Mopey

## Author Notes

Very frequently, when I have to present as a male, I get depressed. Over little things – stupid things – like being associated with masculine things or addressed as a guy. It seems so trivial, but that kind of thing just wrecks me.

To my understanding, a majority of transsexuals suffer the same issue should the situation come up. So I tried to reflect this scenario as well as I could, with a mopey and uncooperative Rain just ready for this day to end.

Thank goodness for a trying-but-failing Rudy. It’s got to be frustrating for him, but he’s trying really hard.

301:Letter

## Author Notes

I know, I know. This page is decidedly lacking in Fara vs. Aiken. We’ll get to it. I promise.

And yep. Even Emily gets her own segment in this chapter. I both really like and dislike this week’s arc. I mean, Emily’s development here is more crucial than you’d probably think, and there was just a lot that needed to be said about her… and proper timing required it to be in this chapter. But at the same time, this little arc feels very disjointed from the rest of the chapter. So, I apologize for not coming up with a smoother way to fit this in.

## Transcript

Dear Emily,

This business trip has just been one nightmare after another, so I'm sorry, but I probably won't be home in time for Christmas. You may want to spend the day with your boyfriend instead. Still, I'm always think of you, and I sent you some cute clothes I found that I thought you might like.

Love, Mom

PS - I should definitely be home no later than New Year's

## Author Notes

Odd thought crossed my mind when I started to write this blurb. I don’t think Gavin’s dad has ever been mentioned before (maybe in *Volume 1*?). I can’t even recall a time when any readers addressed, “hey, what ever happened to Gavin’s dad?” Well, there you go. The question no one ever asked now has an answer. Surprised?

102:See You Later

## Author Notes

I debated for a long time whether or not to make a double-header out of this one, or to simply release them as two completely separate pages on different days. I do think they can each stand alone well enough despite the second page’s general lack of dialogue. And as we all know, I can ALWAYS use a bit of extra time to stall for more time to do pages.

Still - perhaps against my better judgment - I went along with making it two pages. It felt right. What can I say.

To clarify what’s happened here, in case there’s any confusion, Gavin has not necessarily suddenly accepted Rain for who she is. He has not necessarily apologized for anything. Perhaps someday, he will; who can say for right now? But this isn’t the sort of thing someone like him can just get over in a single night. He has, however, shown a willingness to try. Even if he is deeply troubled by Rain’s predicament, he can’t deny that he had a good time staying up all night with her.

And that, I think, is a worthy first step.

Also, no, this still isn’t the end of the chapter… ^\_^

157:Creator

## Author Notes

The name Chiaki Koizumi actually has a lot of history for me. It originates from one of those silly name generator websites where you type in your name and it tells you what it’s (supposed) Japanese equivalent is. Mine was, as you see here. Truth be told, I really liked the name though and it grew on me quite a bit. So much so, I ended up later using the name as my character in a online role play.

My choosing the name again here as the name of the writer for “Black Wings, Kaminari” is significant though. Since it’s a manga, the writer had to be Japanese. Chiaki is a Japanese name, but I openly accept it as MY Japanese name. As such, in the alternate universe that *Rain* takes place in, I’m still writing and drawing, I’m just doing it another country. And thus, I am the creator of “Black Wings, Kaminari”. ^\_^

As an aside, I’ve teased that depending on how much buzz it gets, I may consider writing “Black Wings, Kaminari” when *Rain* is finished. That’d be years from now, of course, but we’ll see. Either way, if and when that happens, I will probably go the whole nine years and write it under that pseudonym. I’m a complete and total nerd like that, after all.

And I apologize for those who’ve taken the time to read this blurb as it was pretty largely tangential and went absolutely nowhere. ^\_^

173:Guilty Conscience

## Author Notes

I know. I know. There’s a startling lack of Rudy spilling the information we want to hear on this page. You didn’t think it was going to come that easy, did you? I promise it WILL be revealed soon…ish.

Anyway, this is like the laziest page ever. But god, was this fun to write. Rob and Drew are way more fun to work with than they have any right being. I bet you never thought these guys were going to be important enough to get their own page… well, pages. There’s more on them next time.

By the way, in case anyone was going to ask, they’re playing “Hyper Bash Kinsmen: Bludgeon”, an off-kilter fighting/action game featuring characters from various licensed Funtendo franchises. Why yes, I do have a lot of fun deciding on irrelevant factors like what imaginary parody video games my characters are playing at any given time. ^\_^

195:Chipper

## Author Notes

Kylie comes in again for the first time since Heather’s theory that Rain just might be physically male back in Chapter 7. And this just makes Rain’s casually stated remark in the last panel all the more shocking to him. Seriously, poor Kylie. Things are just continually making less and less sense to him as the story goes on.

Originally, I was going to include yet another spit take revelation gag (as I did a couple times back in Chapter 6), or at the very least have the soda can shoot right into his face upon hearing Rain’s words. What I did instead was have the pin just break off, trapping the soda within the can forever. I’m not sure if it’s hard to make that out though. Sorry, if it is.

194:The Bad Guy

## Author Notes

Okay, so Rudy is indeed being a bit apathetic towards his sister and his friends, but here’s the question: Is he really wrong?

Hypothetically speaking, if you have a crush on someone - and so do three of your best friends - do you back off in favor of making your friends happy or do you pursue your crush? If you said you’d back off, would you change your mind after a significant amount of time has passed with no one doing anything? Is there an okay amount of time to wait? And if your crush gets asked out and swept away by a third party that isn’t among you or your friends, wouldn’t that just be a thrown away chance for you and everyone you seeked to help?

Deep page. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. I feel like I haven’t proposed an “in their shoes” question in a long time.

38:A Real Couple

## Author Notes

I have mixed feelings about the third row of panels. It’s cute and funny watching her face change as each new thought enters her mind, but I do worry she may have gotten over being sad a little too fast. On the other hand, I hesitate to drag out sadness longer than necessary, or I could run the risk of making Rain annoying (which I obviously don’t want).

Rudy is of course chatty as always, and it seems like he wants to tell us a story. This should be interesting. ^\_^

## Author Notes

Hey! It’s Gavin! Remember him? How about the other guys? Because, you HAVE seen them before… mind you, it was a while ago.

10:High School in a Nutshell

I still haven’t formally named them in the story though, so just to make things easier for my commenters:
The African-American guy is Devon.
The chatty blonde guy is Drew (though technically, he is named).
And the short, plump, quiet guy is Rob.

But I bet most of you don’t even care. I bet you are still hung up on the word “girlfriend”, and were probably waiting for me to say something in this little comment section here.

Well, good luck with that. ^\_^

266:Gamer

## Author Notes

You all knew someone from the school would be there, but who really expected HIM?

Also, this page sort of addresses a bit of a pet peeve of mine; notably, in panels 2 and 3. Video games haven’t been a “boy’s only” hobby… um, ever. Yes, the average video game player is male, but not all of them. So, possibly because I AM a girl gamer, it rubs me the wrong way when guys act like it NEVER happens. Like, “Oh you’re a girl? You’d probably be bored by this then.” Believe it or not, I’ve even had people ask if I’d stop gaming after I transitioned! I guess, because girls don’t do that, so if I’m a girl, I have to stop. Sometimes, I just don’t know. -\_-

And yeah, the Yuu Us. Comes out in a couple days, you know. It’s December in *Rain* continuity though, so it’s already been out for a month there. That said, if the original Yuu’s launch was any indication, I doubt Yuu Us’ really THIS so accessible three days before Christmas. ;P

## Author Notes

Gavin’s got options, for sure. So why the January Girl, Ana? Well, I guess Maria really sold him on the idea.
363:Butter

And why might there be a problem with that? He’s not the only one crushing on her.
395:One Step at a Time
Well, a lot of people allegedly have a crush on Ana, but Rudy is only really concerned about one person. XD

After all, it just wouldn’t be *Rain* without overly complicated love triangles. XD

217:Have a Wonderful Day

## Author Notes

This MAY actually be my favorite chapter ending page to date. If you didn’t see this coming, it could be kind of a shocker. If you did predict this (as a few of you did), I think it’s still so out of left field in the way it actually happens, that it’s pretty funny.

And what does this mean for Maria’s immediate future? I mean, everyone heard that. Well, almost everyone. There’re a few significant characters absent from this page, aren’t there…?

Also, once again as a reminder, starting now there will be a hiatus. I don’t know how long it will be at this time. You may or may not know I’m experiencing some technical difficulties lately, rendering me incapable of drawing at the moment. I am working to resolve this as quickly as possible, but please bear with me until then. Best case scenario, Chapter 10 will start back up in June. Worst case scenario… well, I’ll keep you posted.

129:Tag Along

## Author Notes

Although Kylie’s true gender identity remains unknown (even to Kylie!), he very quickly and easily gets himself acquainted with “the guys”. It seems Gavin and Rudy both approve the idea of having another guy friend around.

And now… I guess Kylie’s going to the party too? The more, the merrier! XD

334:Amends

Rudy Strongwell
Gavin Kurz

## Author Notes

So, are you convinced yet, Maria? Everyone?

Can I just say I love these two pages. We learn quite a lot about Emily here, and just a dash about her prior experience with Maria. Of course the details are still a bit fuzzy, but you should kinda get the idea. As for everyone else though, much of what Emily references goes way back.

Chanel – Actually, this JUST happened. Page 330+331 - Complex Orientation

Kylie – This dates back to the Halloween party. Page 140 - Entry

Rudy – Before the Halloween party. Page 124 - That Sort of Person

Gavin – Actually, Gavin was the hard one, because they never really interacted much in canon. So we’ll just take her word for it here.

Rain – Emily DID hate her since day one. Page 10 - High School
But they became friends after Rain displayed kindness to her. Page 224 - Hellraiser

Oh, yeah. And the comment Emily makes about her mother has been referenced too. Page 301 - Letter

428:Lack of Morals

## Author Notes

I didn’t realize until now that it might not be entirely clear, this is all taking place on the same day as the previous chapter.  Rain is still off at her appointment, and everyone else is going about their day.  So Rudy is in Brother Arthur’s office due to what he’d said (or yelled, really) to Drew in the last chapter.  409:A Bit of a Moment

Originally, these were going to be two separate pages, but I think there’s a better flow in keeping them together.  So I did.  And no one complained, I’m sure.

Thoughts?  Is Rudy correct here, or is he being foolish?  And what of Brother Arthur’s cut off warning about Rudy’s dad?  What do we think Mr. Strongwell is really capable of?
