Oh my, I was looking at the page for the third time and I just realized that the look of Adrian in the fifth panel is EXTREMELY captivating-sexy-seme.

Oh Canada
Our home and native laaand (Celine Dion trill)
True yaoi love in all our sons’ command
With glowing hearts we see thee rise
The true North strong and free
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits
Et ta valeur (this is for you Carter Brooks), de foi trempée
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
O Caaanaaada we stand on guard for thee!
Hopsphie

some of these comments are kinda hard to look at
- rain
  
  Why that ?
  - Kal
    
    Rude and obviously impatient fans. And then the comments that cause extreme second hand embarrassment
    - JuneoftheMearkat
      
      Yeah :(… Everyone should just have fun blabbing in the comments instead of complaining XD.
Rachel

Why do you take so long I’m just dying hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Someone save me ;u;

Lydia Romo

Hey can anyone recommend me good yaoi/bl anime :) ? The ones I’ve watched so far are Love stage!!, No.6, Sekaiichi hatsukoi, Junjou romantica and Gravitation (dmmd too but idk if that counts). THANKS!!
- AaronJagger
  
  There’s Sex Pistols, Antique Bakery, Hey Class President!, The Tyrant Who Fell in Love. There’s also This Boy Found a Merman and in the next month Hybrid Child comes out.(which is done by the same guy as Junjou and Sekaii)
- M
  
  Hyakujitsu no Bara is pretty good; the manga too. Though they’re kinda explicit.
- Connor
  
  I recently watched Love Stage!! and really liked it. c:
- JuneoftheMearkat
  
  Are you interested at all in manga, or only anime?
  - Lydia Romo
    
    I was asking for anime not manga ovoU, thanks a lot though!! <3
- Candle
  
  Ten Count, Seven Days, and Hana no Mizu Shiro all where really good. Especially the artwork.
  - JuneoftheMearkat
    
    Seven Days is amazing :D. I’d also say Rutta to Kodama (this is my absolute favorite), Sorenari ni Shinken Nandesu, Mr. Mini Mart/Konbini-kun, FAKE (actual plot! but old art), and Samejima-kun to Sasahara-kun (can’t find this one online, only buy, unfortunately :/)
- Misu Kaze
  
  Ameiro Paradox & everything Natsume-sensei ever made
  Also Honto Yajuu
- K
  
  A really good one is called tripping over you
Asstiel

When when will the waiting end
(?)

Will the update be today??? i mean the note says “probably”, but we havent got any news
- JuneoftheMearkat
  
  We just have to be patient, this is around the time school starts to get hectic for everyone, and with a webcomic Bell and Hazel are superwomen. Also, it’s only 5:42 in they’re time zone (I’m 3 hours ahead), so it might be a bit.
  - (?)
    
    I have the same timezone as them, and I am patient. I’m not asking to give us an exact hour, just calmly asking if it will be today, they can tell us that
    - JuneoftheMearkat
      
      Ah agreed. Hopefully we will know :D.
      - (?)
        
        Yeah :>

Kal

- Otaku Espurr
  
  The ponies are life… It appears XD
- ikr
  
  I KNOW RIGHT
- iCookiie
  
  Its 8:56 so I don’t know how long its going to be intill the next pages comes out I am so tired but I must stay up and I have school tomorrow p-p
  - Kal
    
    what does this have to do with the horse situation exactly?
Rachel

It’s almost midnight here, and I’m checking this page everytime, someone save me I need a new update
ugh

MY BODY IS READY FOR PAGE 149!
Otaku Espurr

Yessss so closeeee
SSF

It’s getting a little “ARH is love, ARH is life” up in here. LOL
Refri

People, PLEASE, be a little more patient and comprehensive. Avoid pressuring the artists, you have no idea how hard is to handle tons of comments demanding something immediately. It’s for fun, not some life emergency!
- Jake
  
  this so much though
iCookiie

Me right now -my friend text me- why are you still up and I say BECAUSE ARH NEEDS ME
- magicmau5
  
  Yes. Yes it does.
Pota

MY BODY IS READY BUT MY MIND, MY MIND… I’M NOT REALLY SURE
So take your time girls
JuneoftheMearkat

COMMENT 700 WOOO!
http://cutieyama.tumblr.com/ Baka

OKay but can we show Hazel and Bell how thankful we are for them? LIke they have to deal with the stress of school just like everyone else, but imagine having to do a webcomic as well. Like i dunno how they do it. So let’s all be patient for them cuz they work their asses off making this for us.
magicmau5

Lurking on 3 different websites is hard work but somebody’s gotta do it.
vic

SHADES OF A JUST UPDATED!
iCookiie

Ya we sould show love to Hazel and Bell I mean like we would’t be looking at this page right now if it was not for them so THANK YOU Hazel&Bell from:Me&and my guy friend
Jake

hello friends bell just posted this on her tumblr, so those who are up late/should be sleeping might want to go to sleep
Seriously?

Honestly if your comment is “waiting for new update” or “I keep refreshing the page” or “I’m staying up all night” or “i need the new update I may die”

c h i l l

o u t

Please keep in mind that there are probably 600 other comments that say the exact same thing and it really gets annoying when an author is spammed like this

like there is literally no one benefiting from your comment
Carolina Pacheco

sending all my love from Chile! I love you both Hazel and Bell! <3 And I'm waiting for the fanpage in Instagram!
- Cas
  
  follow alwaysraininghere or cartersenpai and adrian_is_spooky! ARH fanpages!
  - Carolina Pacheco
    
    I’m following adrian_is_spooky! I’ll search for cartersenpai! thnks!
~TooTles~

Can I just say this? I love this. This is just such a good web comic and is the very first yaoi I’ve ever read, and I LOVE IT. I enjoy all the little details and characters. You two, Bell and Hazel, make a great team.
- Kk
  
  If your looking for another great yaoi comic tripping over you is a really good one
- SSF
  
  Also, potential yaoi with a main gay character:

- fdss

  - yas
    
    thats not weird, thats what we all expect to happen someday
    - fdss
      
      i know its not weird just wanted to share the porn :P
- JuneoftheMearkat
  
  I left for 10-15 minutes, came back, and this was on my tumblr dashboard XD.
- Jake
  
  same though. what even is the egg war
  - JuneoftheMearkat
    
    All of the ovaries were slain by hot men banging.
    - Jake
      
      My lack of ovaries explains my lack of understanding. Thank you
- sarah
  
  fascinating,
Cene

the site is back up, I was panicking for a bit there
- FeloniousCatlord
  
  Yeah you almost broke it :P
shoe

anyone have good ARH song recs?
- JuneoftheMearkat
  
  I personally tend to imagine a lot of Owl City songs, especially Saltwater Room. There were like two tumblr posts I saw on this topic, wonder if I can find them…
  - poppo
    
    i imagine ABBA’s ‘take a chance on me’ because carter was singing it ahaha
    or ‘one in a million’ by breathe electric because there was an ARH amv
    - JuneoftheMearkat
      
      That amv is awesome, whoever it was put a lot of effort into it.
      - bubbi
        
        crush by david archuleta is a good ARH song too :D
- Jake
  
  i have two pop playlists, one for david and adrian that is basically a break up playlist, and a carter and adrian playlist that is the progression of their relationship

      - dsf
        
        an hour away? have you met them? :3
      - Nate
        
        Nope! I just happen to know their approximate location (Read: City)
      - dsf
        
        i know where they live /nervous laughter/ bc they leave it on their envelopes when they mail their merch lmao
      - Nate
        
        Oh dear >.>
      - dsf
        
        ive been refreshing their twitter every few minutess *sobs* what are ur predictions for the next page? i reckon theyre gonna take their shirts off O__o
      - Nate
        
        Oh damn, I hope so. Though my guess is that someone’s going to walk in on them
      - Cid Highwind
        
        …OR both?
      - Guest
        
        ahaha ive seen that ‘walk in on them’ guess like 20 times, im assuming people want them to stop before it gets too heated?
      - Nate
        
        Nah, just being realistic.
        I’d totally be down for things progressing
      - dsf
        
        they need to be boyfriends already ugh and do cute shit LIKE HOLD HANDSS IN THE RAIN OMGOGMOG /FAINTS
        (its funny how excited i get over that and not adrian kneeing carter’s boner in the page above)
      - Jake
        
        I’m down for things progressing, but i wouldn’t mind if they slowed it down and didnt rush into things
      - Nate
        
        I agree!
      - Cid Highwind
        
        We wish xD
      - dsf
        
        so you didnt go to yaoicon? if i lived so close i’d be there in an instant ;__;
      - Nate
        
        It’s a wee bit of a road trip
    - JuneoftheMearkat
      
      Still awake and chugging along.
- magicmau5
  
  Yes. I’ve been catching up on Technicolor London, Prince of Cats, and occasionally letting my cat out to kill some mice. Or snakes *shudders*.
whatuppp

how did everyone here discover ARH and what was your first impression ? :D
- Jake
  
  my friend told me about it, i caught up in like an hour and fell in love with it :D
  - uuuu
    
    same, my friend kept going on about it so i read all of it and ive been following it for a year or so (when adrian and carter were in the park with a frisbee)
    ugh i love this webcomic so much carter is my life
- magicmau5
  
  I found it on Smack Jeeves. My first impression…just that it was so sweet and funny at the same time. I think Carter is my favorite character. Also…it’s always raining where I live too! It has that Pacific Northwest vibe that I can relate to :)
- JuneoftheMearkat
  
  I just randomly found it on Smackjeeves one day XD. Funnily enough, I’d never been into webcomics before that (wasn’t even exposed to them until I came to college a few years ago (was more into manga or books), and I go to a super nerdy school where everyone reads like, at least 5 different webcomics at once). Thought it was hilarious and really liked the simplistic art style with the emphasis on color, especially as it improved so rapidly. Not to mention I’m a sucker for BL with heavy UST. Sometimes its the simple ones that snag you by the heartstrings. Because seriously, as much as I adore a good yaoi manga or shipping fanfiction, its nice to read a story that takes place in a setting I’m familiar with and can completely relate to (american/canadian pop culture and humor, etc.)
- Nate
  
  I THINK I found it on deviantart maybe?
  Or through the recommendation page of another comic… I’m not sure.
  And I instantly fell in love with it!
- Rachel
  
  It was recent, my friend posted on facebook a few pages with the name of the comic and the art was so cute I couldn’t stop reading~
  I’m in love with this comic ;u;

Always Raining Here
