* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Rain on the Boiling Isles is quite literally boiling, so Earth's non-hostile rain is spoken of in an almost mystic context whenever it comes up. [[spoiler:Unsurprisingly, one of the things that Luz is shown doing when she and her friends end up getting stuck on Earth for several months is introduce them to normal Earth rainfall, leading Gus, Hunter, and Vee to all happily play in the mud [[RomanticRain while Luz and Amity share a moment together]]. Notably, this was actually the second time the were introduced to Earth rain, but considering the first time was mere seconds after they barely escaped from a BizarroApocalypse, they probably weren't in any condition to properly register it.]]

* This trope is actually discussed briefly in VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance. In the chapter “Battle Reunion,” Geoffrey expresses dismay that such a happy occasion such as a reunion with Princess Elincia is accompanied by rain, but Bastian responds by saying, “Calm rain is like a kiss upon the face. A scent and feel unparalleled in kind. Reunions in the rain are most heartfelt.” While things do take a grim turn soon thereafter, if the player is careful and keeps everyone alive, the chapter will end on a happy reunion.
