God I remember when I had this chat with someone before, it feels surreal hearing it again ngl. Well done Star, and I hope we get to some a little bit more of this tale you've woven, it's a beautiful story in it's own right. :)

You had that chat with someone before?

Something along those lines, yeah. Not necessarily bab stuff related though.

It really is! TToTT

Awwww, poor little Star. At least Manda is there to help with a hug.

Yeah, I think we all go through this a few times early on, and even once you've gotten used to it it never quite goes away, does it?

yeah it kinda gets easier but it def leaves you feeling...muted a bit afterwards

Sorry for being a Capt. Obvious, but you made an error in the title.

you named it shin and not shine
but still so true.

hide this comment it is nsfw bigtime

Ive been hiding them all morning on all sorts of submissions. so yeah dont click on dodgy looking links people, but I assume most of you know that already.

I SAW IT ON MY POST AS WELL
IT IS MY NEW FURSONA

sorry caps lock

awe

Just this so much. The feeling of having to go back to the grown up world after getting to be little is such a hard thing to do.

Awwwww Offers Star a Hug

Comforting when Manda's here. She makes a great Mentor to Star. Star's probably going to need more of those lessons when harsh reality conflicts with her baby fantasy.

This page
Omg
The feels ,, wish I had that type of support system where I live :(

Can totally relate to this. You did a wonderful job capturing and presenting this moment Star. I feel this way everytime I part ways with my boyfriend.

As someone who's had friends remark that I'm low energy when I get back from conventions, I feel this, haha.

Poor Star.

Thank you for telling people that they have to be adults too. Part of being ABDL is being an adult. Nobody wants to go back to reality, but we all have to at some point.

That exchange between the 2 is so realistic!

my biggest fear isnt that shes stopped playtime, but what awaits her in adult land, and the consequences...

I can't say I've experienced most of this - I haven't ever found a time to really BE little - but I can definitely see how hard it might be...

On the flip side of things, your comic has helped me a lot in accepting that part of myself. The least I can do is try to get your nomination in the awards.

*reads what Manda says in the last panel*
Yeah there's some truths to that... While being eager to get to that regressive side and enjoy being little again is fun and all, most times we don't even realize about our physical health and sociability and how important it is.
The fun may be over, but there will be other chances.

That happened to me at my first meet... I was a late arrival and had to leave early but I had such a sensory overload that I got really sick when I tried to leave

beautifully said <3

Play date over

Just sad I want to know what happened to the brother of star that dream in page 114

I have my theories NOT SUICIDE LoL but other theories

the playdate is over but the story isnt

Im not crying ;~; im not crying, your crying

Fantastically written. Excellent characterization all around. <3 <3 <3

For some one this page making me cry... I dunna know my because I never had what star, maybe I know stars pain to well, may I just want warm safe place to go like she go now... maybe I just want a hug..

Don't worry Star. It's not goodbye forever, just til next time.

Dawwww~

Poor widdle star her feels are all over the place and she just can't processs easily. It's alright to be sad kitten it happens to all of us just take it a little at a time and remember the friends you made during your weekend with manda and know that they are there for you should you need a pick me up.

Y'know. I can relate to this so hard. It mirrors the first time I ever went to Pick'N'Mix in Birmingham. Finally a chance to be with others. To express ones inner self. Discovering how hard it was to get into the "little" headspace on the first time. Having it end and feeling an overwhelming sense of loss but knowing that it would happen again soon. The indescribable feeling of completeness and camaraderie. Just....wow. Well done.

I never ended up at picknmix in the end. I went to lbl a couple of times and it was farfar far too busy for my little side to come out. She's super shy and quiet so it needs a similar event to help coax her out from hiding. Luckily I found ngm and that's way more my cup of tea. But I'm always sad when I have to go home

I'm not familliar with NGM. What be that exactly cuz I'm always on the lookout for more places to play. As for PnM. Its...well. Changed significantly, feels a lot more chill now as the venue has moved to within the same area but a lot more "welcoming" if that makes sense cuz I'm the same. Quiet and "soft" is the best, unwind and fall down into sweet gooey bliss hehe. Also, if yer interested, the gang who run PnM have snagged something awesome. Through some extraordinary luck they got the OK to book out a whole hotel for a 3 day ABDL con with stalls and events and mushy stuff all around!

mood...

This is why I have little respect for Stanley Thornton.

This. Totally this. Its been many many years since Tavi and I have had an experience sort of like that. The thing to do is enjoy every minute of it and never forget. Let it be a happy memory to retreat to in times of stress. Or just whenever. ^^

Please don't be ending this

I have never decided to respond, but here's one. Spiden, I have a good feeling this ain't over yet, she still has to face Matt at work, I'm Xited to see that showdown.

No, believe me it isn't. It's only Sunday morning, and she has to go to a family picnic and help out her brother. That is, unless Star changed the story.

According to the author herself, we're eventually going to see Star in her toddler years being babysat by young Teen Gem.

I'm not sure, although I believe Start and Gem crossed paths in Found.

First, when is it you believe they crossed paths in Found? Second, the author herself said so. I told her I had an idea for a comic where Adult Gem meets Star and reacts to her AB lifestyle, which would be built much like a classic cartoon, and Sammy herself replied to that saying that Teen Gem babysat Toddler Star, and that that's going to appear in Shine, though much later on.

I guess I was wrong. I couldn't find it. It's okay, I'm old, I forget stuff, get confused. It'll be interesting to see Gem babysitting Star.

Hmm...about Gem crossing paths with Star, maybe you're thinking of Kammy's Regressive Tendencies. I know Star appears there as her two-year-old self.

i Wonder will star tell manda her boss was there?

Nomination sent to the Ursa Major Awards. I also included Kammy's Regressive Tendencies, but I put hers second and yours first. She didn't ask, but it would be nice if she got at least some recognition.

Hugs.

Thank you so much for this!

am scared to see what will happen with star when she goes back to work with mr.asshole.
I unfortunately have to deal with that at my work place and it sucks so I feel for star.

I’m guessing this is gonna have 300 pages?Lets hope it’s a good ride until the end

Wow, got to experience this, except my BF is the military one, no bab stuff, and didn't get a hug after I started crying.

Wow, this hits me right in the feels. I've been in Stars place before and it does suck. Unfortunately I was forced to quit playing for an entire month because that stuff wasn't allowed into my parents home. My stress was off the charts.

You're right. I don't want this story to end either. 😭😥😢😨😰😓 Please keep this story going. There has to be something that you haven't tried, but always wanted to do. Isn't there?




I mean if there isn't, you could just try some of your watcher's requests. Like 1 of my choices:

1.) Shine celebrates her 2nd to last day of baby life by drinking a purple fruit smoothie, when she didn't know it had prunes in it.

2.) At the midnight hour, Shine suddenly gets the atomic runs, then she crawls like a caterpillar with her diaper on & tries to reach the door, but it was too late.

3.) Suddenly Shine feels a sudden urge pushing under her tail harder than a rock early the next morning, then she releases the big load into her night time diaper while out of public.
4.) A commission scene or a censored omoani scene for Shine on the last few pages. (Sorry. Was that a grim ending?
5.) Shine gets hit by a car, ends up in the hospital (Still having her diaper on) & holds in the atomic run for 6 weeks, & let's it all out (Creating a huge hypermess)

Hint: You don't have to do all of them. Just 1.

theres still plenty of story to go, none of those scenarios are happening.

😫Aw c'mon!!!

When will you upload another commic/ diaper thing these are really grippy and really good!!

When will you upload another commic/ diaper thing these are really grippy and really good!!

It's the world I'm in having to deal with a batch of serious grown up stuff early next month as much as i'd rather play but we have to make this work the best we can for ourselves.

Love this so much!

When Will we be able to buy the book ? I really want it

I am not a er.....whats the correct erm? Little? but I think the moral here applies to anyone who uses any means to get away from "reality" for a little while.

So very true. It can't be all play every day. But that makes the moments when you can be little all the more special.

No

i know it's been 2 days but i'm just now reading the page and i didn't read the comments but. . . am i the only one worrying that her boss is going to make her life hell just for seeing her there? i mean i think i got that vibe due to how he reacted but still. . . .

My heart! That was so so sweet. This is the cutest story I've ever had the privilege to read 😊

It's not over yet hehehe but thankyou

My issue is going little. I adult way too much. To the point I break.

Yeah I crash and burn if I do t get a decent little fix after a while. But I barely have free time anymore so yeah I do the crash thing instead

Good luck on Ursa major awards! =^w^=

Ah, beautiful.

If only I could have that happen to me.

It's a sad truth that we all have to face. As much as we don't want to grow up but time stand still for no one.

This comic has helped me and while I found it too late to vote on it I’ve been thinking about it a lot these past few days

Your words are bang on. Grow up they say -- stop growing they mean.
I would like to be little as a way to get away from it all, even if only for a few hours.
