Polyamory is a very good thing. My fiance is open to me having a wife as well as him since he knows I am bisexual the hard part of being in a relationship that is open to the concept is FINDING that missing wheel to the relationship. You can't just find someone that will only work FOR YOU you have to make sure that they will work with the other side of your life or at the very least not muk up that side of it for you.
This is why he didnt mean to mention it yet. He needs Star to at least meet his SO and for the three of them to chat and get to know each other. This is no where near a done deal but he has put it out there now so cant really be undone. Life gets pretty messy sometimes :)
Yeah, polyamory isn't something that would work for myself but, in the few times that I've seen polyamory work well in the wild they had communication similar to how Martin is handling it. Communication is big in relationships especially with polyamory because jealousy can just ruin things if you don't keep open lines of communication.
Stops Star to say he's in a relationship, then explains the relationship is poly, because he was hoping to bring Star in with his SO? I get it, but it seems kinda predatory of Martin now. Star doesn't have to agree, and she might enjoy a different daddy/mommy set up, but still feels like Star won't have an SO for herself.
Not the end of the world I suppose, but I'm a monogamous kinda guy.

This is true. Star could easily be like "whoa sorry dude thats not what im looking for" But she kissed him and he wanted to be upfront with her about, why thats a problem but also why it could also not be a problem, he's just messing up the conversation a bit. If anyone has stepped out of bounds here, technically it was Star with the kiss in the first place.
For sure. I just felt it was odd that Martin's reaction felt more like "WHOA SLOW DOWN!" but then was more ".......well we were looking.....". Sorry that it seems I'm on a Martin hunting shtick here XD. I just happened to be browsing FA recently for this bit of the comic. Been enjoying the entire story, but when there's 100 comments, someone's likely said what you wanted to.
Star wouldnt NOT have an SO, she could potentially have TWO SO's. Polyamory can work in multiple different ways, I have happily been in poly arrangements where I am very involved with two partners (so its a group of 3), or i am only involved with one partner, with separate partners on the side. though personally I preferer to be involved in groups where everyone is involved with each other. Many people get confused and think polyamory is simply finding a playmate to ad to an existing relationship, and that playmate is called on when needed, and while in some cases that could be the definition, it is not the only definition. At the end of the day, Polyamory is a trust thing, its not sneaky, its being open and informed with all people involved, to create a rich more functional relationship for different facets of a persons wants and needs.
For reference, I am 35 and have been part of this community for about 12 years. :)

Yeah its not like a Carved in stone situation, each group functions in slightly different ways depending on their needs and wants, but ultimately its as you say, being open and honest with one another, trusting and keeping communication flowing and generally being mindful of each others needs and feelings. It def takes more work than a conventional relationship and has more potential for disaster should things start unravelling. Gosh, my life has been an adventure HAHAH
Ooh okay I didn't see it coming but it all makes sense now.
"Anyone who knows me personally and knows of my past probably saw this cominga mile off" in the years I've been following this comic you've been a pretty open person but I've never caught a personal detail that stated or even hinted you are/have been in a poly relationship, but cool, that's interesting :3

ah yes the "AH NO I MEAN YES I MEAN AH FAWWWWWWWWWWK" stumble of needing to explain poly to your crush before you are ready. Nowadays I've gotten a better hang of it but still get super afraid of the aftermath. Like, do they want to try? Will they think i'm disgusting? What if they politely decline and now i have to go through all that heartbreak without ruining the friendship i just built up? What if we can't even be friends now? (currently fretting that last question with my current crush. He started ignoring me when the day before he had been going out of his way to small talk)
But mostly.. huh. Somehow didn't know you/he .. were/are poly. Musta missed that. Didn't think it was an option in the comic.

That would work too, if it's something Star's OK with. I can see why Martin'd want other things to be in order first, it can be a delicate subject so with everything else going on this could feel like another hurdle coming fast rather than just another subject to be gently broached.
That said, if it is something one is accepting of then it can be very fulfilling; just because the love is being shared doesn't mean there's any less for anyone.
(Edit: I also kinda want the opportunity to come up now to convince someone that polyamory is just being really into parrots.)

I've been in a number of polyamorous relationships, or... in throuples? Phew, unsanctioned words. Ah well, language naturally changes, eh?
Poly and mono and being single is great, so long as the person/persons wants the arrangement. Some poly relationships I couldn't participate in because they both wanted to sleep with me (I was usually the third party). I would only be interested in casual relations with one of them. This kinda sounds like what Martin and his partner are looking for. That's great...! That is, if Star is genuinely interested. I dunno, I think when she kissed Martin, she was imagining a monogamous arrangement. Who knows, though, maybe she'll learn that poly also works for her. I think that's how most of us learn about ourselves any, through some experimentation.

Tecnicly you can have a "contract" with several people for different things, but it would be a relationship, regardless.
Polyphilia is a hard topic to discuss, tbh.
My boy have another boyfreind, im the 3rd party, its hard to put into words.
As lomg everyone is in an agreement, its all right

Woot for poly! The poor lion is trying to multitasked so hard XD "I like you somewhat, but I want you safe, comfortable, and well informed of who I am and whats my deal before I tell you." Its all a mess and that's kinda the raw truth. As long as you communicate over the long haul things'll work out.
"Don't say Parrots" is something I need to t-shirted ASAP :D

Oh wow, so going the poly route! I have to say, I'm excited by that! You don't see that in stories very often and it's nice to see.
I didn't realize you were poly as well. That's so cool! I've been poly for 5 years now, after having been monogamous for 7 previously. So now I have my hubby/mate, my bf/Daddy, and my metamour of his other girlfriend and a friend we've adopted into our little group and we all meetup almost every Sunday for games and stuff. ^_^

I should probably keep my mouth shut because this is essentially more of a "private" thought/opinion, but i feel like i'm the only commenter here who is DEEPLY uncomfortable with this development as well as Poly in general. Maybe my worldview is just too narrow to comprehend that type of dynamic in any way but negatively, but ultimately i am genuinely curious as to how to think of polyamory in any other context. Sorry in advance if this is at all inflammatory. Just feeling very conflicted.
I don't even have much an intellectual reason behind disliking it. It's just a strong and immediate negative emotional reaction at the thought of being in love with and being devoted to more than one person. I honestly can't even conceptualize it. And I suppose seeing the prevalance of positivity surrounding this story development has me feeling like a bit of an outsider. Especially seeing as i typically consider myself a much more progressive person.
You always seem to throw a curveball in there somehow. I wasn't expecting this, actually. I thought Martin might have a boyfriend, but polyamory, nope, didn't see that coming.
Martin, you aren't ballsing it up, but you did find yourself in a place you weren't expecting to be.

Truthfully he really kinda panicked. I don't think I drew this page right like he never normally would have grabbed her or blurted anything out but he could see she was trying to leave with only a partial story that was kinda wrong so he didn't want to be the cause of her upset
Ohhhhh. That makes so much sense now. Was really worried and was gonna be real ashamed of him and really mad if he had been leading her on this whole time with no intent or awareness of another's feelings. But he had a plan all along and wasn't just leading her on.... Well at least wasn't leading her on. Good! The existence of a plan seems questionable, definitely no back up plan XD. Got me there lol.
Also does this mean star is gonna have a daddy AND a mommy? I know some poly is like that, while others are not. I've been poly and dear God you gotta be careful who you do it with. Be careful star

Oh my goodness, Star. Actually, gosh darn bless your soul. Thank you so [i]so[\i] much for including polyamorous representation in your comic. As a polyamorous person myself, seeing this represented in a story that is rightfully beloved, it just. It means more than I can say. Bless your cotton socks and thank you for writing/drawing such a wonderful story.
