Rainbow:Dragon Rain 9: Q&A

Synopsis

Rain does a Q&A about Dragon HRT!

Author Notes

Continuing immediately where the previous page left off, Rain takes some questions from her viewers on stream.

- Did Rain get to keep the removed scales?
She kept one. For her daughter who likes the way her mom's scales feel.

- Why is half of Rain growing in faster than the other half?
Although no direct answer is given, it could just be the luck of the draw. In the same way a ten trans women who started Estrogen at the same age, height, and weight, and on the same day might experience transition ten very different ways.

The accompanying panel shows Rain observing others' transitions. Much like the last page, these are references to the works of other artists. Flying in the background is Tresenella from her dragon HRT, while in the foreground, we have Kayla undergoing bat HRT.

- Why haven't you ever brought up wanting to be a dragon before?
Kind of a common actual question I've heard on Rain's behalf through this whole comic, so far. She insists she's felt this way for a while, referencing several big moments from the original comic where she may or may not have been thinking about wanting to be a dragon all along.

But whether she was or not, it's all valid. Someone who just realized they're trans last week isn't any less trans than someone who's known for the last twenty years. Everyone discovers themselves at their own pace and is free to share that information when or if they're ready!

- Why a dragon? Why not [x creature] or [y animal]?
Can't help who you are? If Rain's a dragon deep down, then she's a dragon. ^_^

Transcript

Rain is livestreaming. Her stream is titled "4 MONTHS!! SOMEHOW RAIN RETURNED", and she has 5162 followers and 206 viewers.

Anyway, while I'm much better, I am still recovering and very tired, so let's keep it simple today. So if you've got questions, ask away!

Chat:

Strawbs18: ooh! q&a time! SassySam: heck! now I gotta think up questions! I Am Become Beth: I always forget everything I wanted to say the second I'm asked if I have any questions. Rat Senpai: Mood. OwOItsSeffiwoff: how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? TheShookLilim: asking the tough questions i see. OwOItsSeffiwoff: someone's got to. if not me then who?

TheShookLilim: Out of curiosity, did you get to keep the removed scales?

I had to ask - and whine a little - but yes. I was allowed to keep one.
I wanted it for Lydia. She really likes the texture of my scales, but it's been too sensitive for me to let her touch mine much so far. So we made a necklace for her, so she can rub it whenever she wants.
It made her so happy.

Strawbs18: Did you ever find out why this happened in the first place? Like, why is half of you developing so much slower than the other half?

Not specifically, but the doctor did say everyone develops differently.
Most other people I see on animal HRT seem to be developing more evenly, so maybe I just got bad luck in the genetic lottery on this one.
You know me. Wouldn't be the first time.

OnajimiApologist: Forgive me if this is out of line, but why do you want this? You've been open about being transgender since you started the channel. But you never once mentioned wanting to be a dragon before you suddenly started.

Didn't I, though?

Rain thinks to when she first said that she wanted to be a mommy

No, maybe I didn't say it when I talked about that...

Rain thinks to when her hair was cut by Kellen

Not there either.

Rain thinks to when she was announced as Prom King

Hmm... Well, maybe I didn't say it, but I was definitely thinking it!
Either way, even if it wasn't something I knew I wanted my whole life, and I just figured it out the day before I started dragon HRT, it wouldn't be any less valid.

WingHaver: Speaking of which, I'm just surprised you went with a dragon. I thought for sure, if you could be anything, it'd be a skyfolk or something with wings. Like Kaminari.

I mean, I'll have wings as a dragon too!
There're little bumps on my back as we speak!
But I'm not sure what to say otherwise. I don't remember when or if I said it, but I know I've wanted this a long time.
I guess you'll just have to trust me.
