Rain (webcomic)/YMMV


 * Angst? What Angst?: Even though Rudy's parents sent him to a Catholic school to "cure" his orientation, he seems very cheery., on the other hand...
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Out of the secondary student characters that appeared in Chapter Two, Holly was the most popular. This was lampshaded in Rain Delay.
 * Vincent, Rain's therapist and Fara's old boyfriend, is adored by many, especially trans people.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Everyone, In-Universe and out, thinks irrevocably crossed the line when
 * Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Gavin and Aiken were at first very hated for not accepting Rain (and in the latter's case, ), but Character Development hit both of them and became likable and sympathetic characters in their own right.
 * The Scrappy: Gavin and Aiken started out as this, but tons of Character Development made them Rescued from the Scrappy Heap big time.
 * Kellen has proven herself to be a far worse Scrappy than Gavin and Aiken could've ever been. Not only she actively denies Rain's transgenderism, she even goes as far as and calling her transgender identity as a "disgusting hobby". Needless to say, nobody, In-Universe and out, likes Kellen.
 * Almost all the parents in this series are considered this, due to not accepting their LGTB children and making things worse for them.
 * Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: Mostly regarding LGTB issues.
 * The Woobie: Rain. Whenever things go wrong for her, you just want to hug her tightly and tell her it's okay.
 * Almost everyone has Woobie moments, but Jessica and Emily stand out. Jessica has several problems about her transition, as her family and fiancée abandoned her for this. As for Emily, her mother doesn't give a crap about her, leading her to become desperate for her approval, driving away a girlfriend in the process . And if that wasn't enough, she got pregnant and possibly will have to drop out of the school to take care of the kid.
