''Rainbow Skies Forever'' is a webcomic by Doctor Glasgow (''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'', ''Webcomic/BlackHole2019'') that was originally posted to their Platform/DeviantArt and Website/{{Tumblr}} accounts between 2014 and 2015. The full comic (as well as some extras) was later [[https://rainbowskiesforever.thecomicseries.com/comics/first/ uploaded]] to Platform/ComicFury in 2020.

''Rainbow Skies Forever'' is a webcomic by Doctor Glasgow (''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'', ''Webcomic/BlackHole2019'') that was originally posted to their Platform/DeviantArt and Website/{{Tumblr}} accounts between 2014 and 2015. The full comic (as well as some extras) was later [[https://rainbowskiesforever.thecomicseries.com/comics/first/ uploaded]] to Platform/ComicFury in 2020.
The comic centers on Ashley Lockheart, a young martial artist who lives a fairly average life with her family and friends. One day, her scientist father ends up assigned to a new project: study a mysterious substance brought in by an ambitious new employee. It quickly becomes apparent that there's more to the substance and the employee than there initially seems to be, though...and the more he delves into the substance, the more Ashley's life ends up [[FromBadToWorse going downhill]].
While a second part was planned and teased, Doc ultimately [[https://doctorglasgowart.tumblr.com/post/139335693020/are-you-ever-going-to-update-rainbow-skies put it on the backburner]]; per their words, while the Kickstarter to help fund the series was a success, it wasn't enough of one to warrant continuing. However, that doesn't mean ''Rainbow Skies Forever'' was gone for good; past versions of Ashley's parents have made appearances in ''Ennui GO!'', and the ninth volume ended up picking up where ''RSF'' left off. As such, tropes regarding how the ''RSF'' characters act in ''Ennui GO!'' can be found on that comic's trope page.

!! ''Rainbow Skies Forever'' contains examples of:
* ABirthdayNotABreak: Ashley ends up [[spoiler:losing her mom and being forced to kill her dad]] on her birthday.
* AbusiveParents: As Lucian's sanity goes on a downwards spiral, he becomes this to his daughters, denigrating them [[spoiler:and beating them]] over trivial things.
* AdaptationalNameChange: In the [=ComicFury=] re-uploads, Ketsuo's name is changed to K'''a'''tsuo; on his reference sheet, he's referred to as Akihiro (though that could be his surname).
* AdultsAreUseless: Kirsty never seems to realize how much her husband’s changed, and is subsequently unable to do anything to help her daughters [[spoiler:before her death]].
* AffectionateNickname: Lucian calls Ashley "Blackbird". [[spoiler:It turns into TermsOfEndangerment after the corruption really takes hold of him.]]
* AlcoholicParent: Alex's dad is one, which Ashley uses as a comparison point when discussing how Lucian's changed for the worse.
* AmbiguousSituation: When we first meet Ketsuo, he seems perfectly innocent; it isn't until his second appearance that he starts acting creepy. It's not confirmed whether he was a BitchInSheepsClothing all along or if the black substance he found corrupted him like he corrupted Lucian.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Ketsuo gets his arm ripped off by a corrupted Soleil.]]
* ArchnemesisDad: Ultimately, [[spoiler:Lucian becomes this to Ashley]].
* ArtifactOfDoom: The black substance Ketsuo found; it was hidden at the bottom of a temple, it apparently "seemed to suck all light and warmth from the room", and it has a corrupting influence on those around it.
* BigBad: Ketsuo, whose corruption of Lucian ends up triggering everything else that happens in the plot.
* BookEnds: The comic begins and ends on Ashley's birthday, one year apart.
* CoolBigSis: Gabrielle is supportive of Ashley's love of martial arts, gives her advice on her crush on Bastian, and later on [[spoiler:tries to hide how bad their father's become in order to protect her]].
* TheCorruptor: Ketsuo ends up becoming this to Lucian, tempting him into experimenting with magic and infusing him with more and more power.
* CutHimselfShaving: After [[spoiler:Lucian beats her]], Gabrielle tries to explain away the bruises by claiming she tripped and fell. Ashley doesn't buy it.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Lucian's magic-induced corruption and how it affects his personality is pretty similar to watching a parent fall into substance abuse and start mistreating their family because of it. Ashley even draws parallels between Lucian's behavior and that of Alex's alcoholic father.
* DeathByChildbirth: [[spoiler:Kirsty dies giving birth to her third child.]]
* DownerEnding: The comic ends with [[spoiler:both of Ashley's parents dead and her sobbing on the ground, traumatized by everything that's happened to her]].
* ForcedTransformation: [[spoiler:Ketsuo forcibly turns Ketsuo into a nigh-mindless beast at the end.]]
* GoodParents: The latter's concerns about Ashley's hobbies aside, Lucian and Kirsty are good parents to both their daughters. Sadly, this doesn't last.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Ketsuo turns Soleil into a mindless beast...which promptly rips his arm off and forces him to run.]]
* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:Lucian seems to turn back to his old self when Ashley tells him that Kirsty died...only for him to snarl and claim she was weak, the corruption fully taking hold.]]
* LittleMissBadass: Ashley is skilled enough in martial arts to take out older men [[spoiler:and fight on relatively equal ground with her corrupted father]].
* NightmareFace: Those corrupted by Ketsuo's magic are able to pull off some pretty scary, BodyHorror-induced facial expressions.
* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler:A fully corrupted Lucian tries to kill Ashley during the climax. She ends up killing him instead.]]
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Lucian takes on a dark, monstrous form during the climax.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Soleil is the only scientist shown who has reservations about the kinds of research Ketsuo is proposing.
* ParentalNeglect: Bastian's parents are always busy, and are never around for him or his sister.
* {{Patricide}}: [[spoiler:Ashley is ultimately forced to kill her father in the end.]]
* ShipTease: Ashley and Bastian clearly have crushes on each other; aside from one potential date, it doesn't get much focus.
* TookALevelInJerkass: As he does further research with the black substance, Lucian's personality becomes much darker, eventually culminating in him [[spoiler:beating Gabrielle for being out past curfew]].
* TrueCompanions: No matter how bad their respective home lives get, Ashley, Bastian, and Alex all have each other to lean on.
* WantedAGenderConformingChild: Kirsty wishes that Ashley would enjoy more feminine hobbies as opposed to martial arts, though she slowly grows to appreciate her daughter's interests as the comic progresses.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Ashley ends up vomiting after [[spoiler:killing her father]].
* YouAreGrounded: Lucian ends up grounding Ashley until she gets a passing grade in math. The fact that this is his immediate response considering he was a reasonable parent beforehand is the first sign of how badly the corruption's affecting him.
