aww man

Star can I hug you? You look like you need a hug

I will never turn down hugs :D EVER!

not the person you replied to, but gives hugs to you and anyone else that needs them anyway

*joins the hug party* yey hugs

Yea hugs😍🤗

that must be an amazing feeling

I may not be the first but I'm still in the top 10! Also I love that she doesn't have to hide anymore. I wish I didn't have to hide.

I guess Fiona got bored and wanted attention because Elly was too busy for her, so that is why she might have dug into Star's stash. I hope she hasn't chewed on the pacifier. Nobody wants pup spit on their paci.

He's the real question, is Fiona an infant or just a kinky small breed? (In an animal world, wouldn't pets be people too?) Hehehehe

I think she's just supposed to be a dog in this 'verse.

(Yeah, furry settings can be weird like that.)

She's just a puppy. Kinda like how Mickey mouse has a beat friend called goofy who is a sentient dog but also has a pet dog called Pluto. It's basically that

goofy is actually a type of cow, hes not a dog

No he isn't, he's a dog feel free to look at official Disney wiki for further info LOL

Nothing feels as calming as knowing you can be yourself and not have to wear a mask around people who care about you. This page gave me some real feels🥹

That realization when you understand you don't have to hide stuff anymore and you're not sure if you should cry from happiness or relief or both

oop someones about to have a breakdown again. thankfully its a good one.

Idk where this story is going next, but if I had to guess? This next little arc will be Star and Elly finding their "new normal". Stuff changed, for the better yes but it did change, so taking some time to show how they both adjust to things, how Star overcomes her fear of being more open about it, etc.

I don't know if I'm right, but that sounds really fun to me.

I actually really am hoping for that. There are so many stories about them discovering ABDL but very few about how a ABDL lives long term after the novelty has worn off. Like how does it interact with your job, other hobbies and relationships?

Plus, I think it'd just be cute in general.

But beyond the cute factor, seeing Elly learn about this, seeing Star adjust to not hiding, seeing them find their "new normal", all have the potential to be really fun things to play with an explore.

As an example: Elly says that Star doesn't need to hide this side of herself, and I truly believe that she means that, but there's a difference between saying it and experiencing it. The reality may look a bit different than what she expected, and sometimes she may have to say "oh, it's like that" when something happens.

On Star's side, she's been told she doesn't have to hide this. Sure, she knows that intellectually, but I can easily see her "wading in" as it were, going slowly, scared that Elly will suddenly pull back. Finding confidence to be who she is in her own space is important, but it can also be something that can be a real struggle.

Lot of good angles here to explore, and I look forward to seeing what happens, even if it's none of these ideas.

But I kind of hope you also go into the stress of how you combine your little and adult self.

What a powerful page. Love it!

I love this page.

So wholesome, Need moar hehehe..

Kinda got used to being spoiled with 2 pages the last few weeks 😊😊😊

This has helped massively as I'm coming to terms with a massive life and identity change and yeah... 👉🏻👈🏻

Whoa, there... While you don't have to hide from Elly, that doesn't mean you're completely in the clear. There is still the matter of your family, and especially your father. Don't get too relaxed just yet. Still, it is a good next step.

that is the thing but honestly she hates her dad if she never saw her dad again she be happy with that, I'm not saying Star wishes her Dad dead but its not too far fetched...

"Hate" might be too strong of a word. It's true he did some truly nasty things, one of which being the rejection of Star's brother, and she hasn't forgiven him of that. But, at the same time, there is a sort of respect towards him if her memories of being his assistant mechanic is anything to go by. If she truly hated him, I doubt she would have such fond memories of him, let alone remanence about them to her ABDL parents.

I wouldn't invite my family into my bedroom....that would be weird.

Who said anything about inviting them to your bedroom? Not me...

Well...in terms of star here she was talking about she doesnt have to hide her stuff in her bedroom anymore, she can be openly little in her own home... so as her stuff would be in her bedroom im not sure how her parents would see her stuff. She doesnt mean she can suddenly be baby 24/7 everywhere and anywhere. ut more she has space now to be herself safely at the house.

True, true. Still, though, be careful. A safe space is only safe so long as the locks hold. Don't take any unnecessary risks, especially when visiting your new family. You never know who may be watching or listening.

Yeah, I too would be reluctant to lighten up there. What if there's a house party? Or just friends over. Even your friend's friend, and the bedroom door is open for some reason. Keep it secret, keep it safe!

Awwww~

That's right Star. You don't have to hide it anymore.

How touching and sweet *hugs Star close*

At first I thought you had a refrigerator in you room, but now I realize it’s a closet. XD

I was looking for the refridgerator...then realised you were talking about the wardrobe and forgot that a lot of american fridges have 2 doors which is still kinda a newish thing here in the uk

Yea I get the confusion. Lol, I was thinking, wow, star keeps a lot of “cold ones” in there. (The term “cold ones” we use refers to alcoholic beverages cus we normally like to keep it cold. :P)

I actually had to tear up from this to, to not having to hide anymore is an interesting experience. It really feels like freedom.

Good Girl Fee! You made Star feel really good! Your such a good puppers!

That is such a mood; the freedom to be openly yourself. I love how you just show that little lightbulb just click.

Hmm that could be an interesting development. What if fee didn't "dog up the floor board" what if someone else did and fee just got into what was left open.

Not needing to hide such a big thing about yourself is honestly one of the most relieving things ever.

My guess is that her next order of business will be to place a bulk order of adult diapers to fill those shelves behind her, and whatever other adult baby paraphernalia she might want.

it is always relieving when you 'space' grows to more of the space you exist in. both in the physical and mental ways. I am glad Elly took it so well and that Star can be herself at home and relax and not have to always be on guard.

I look at others who live with family or friends who don't like or know about furry or ABDL stuff they are into and having to live with their happy life hiding except when they can go to a party or a con or something and FINALLY breath. It does not mean you need to wear a fursuit or tail and ears, or a diaper and lil girl dress 100% of your home time, but you CAN when you want to and that is the important feeling.

I know I rambled a bit, but I totally understand. *Caddie gives Star a big sissy lion hug* I am happy for you kitten, be you and be happy.

I really enjoyed reading this page because its exactly what I'm going through atm with my family, I no longer feel like I need to hide my little self any longer with them.

I live for those tail thumps dogs do when you first come home or walk in the room ;_;

I had a similar thing when I was worried about coming out you my partner as ab only to remember I ment them on an abdl site...

Love the look on her face when she makes the sudden realization

Feeling that liberty is priceless.😍😍😍😍

So who will get the first call or text? Martin? Kim? Manda?

I had the pleasure yesterday of explaining to an online friend why being ABDL is not "weird"... It's funny, she was the last person I'd have expected to be understanding of it.... And while it's not her thing, she was accepting of it as a part of me.

Good friends give me hope for this world.

Awwwhhhh! I just wanna give Star a hug now!

And, it clicked

The sweet relief of being able to be yourself without the haunting urge to hide. The best feelin there is

Here come the tears of relief, I know that feeling tbh

That’s how I felt when I moved out on my own. It was great.

This page holds so much emotion but in a positive light. I love it squiggle. 💜🥹

My girlfriend found my stash two days ago while going through my drawers after doing laundry....

She's been nothing but positive and supportive so I feel the same way as Star does in the last panel, when I got home and started putting things away. I was hiding my stash under some clothes then realized I didn't need to do that anymore.

Feels good :)

that must feel so good. Sadly many people such as myself dont have that kind of safe space

I wanna have this but with my trans side, my parents would never accept that I'm female now, and I'm still living with them. Well dad moved in and so did mom

I wish more people had family who could accept and protect them. Stay safe *hug*

I'll try

half t shirt half tank top?

this made me tear up, this is such a nice revelation ; A ;

What a great moment for her

One of the most beautiful moments you can go through: This feeling after coming out in combination with a positive reaction <3

only just noticed, the shirt Star is wearing only has one sleeve. Is this some kind of fashion trend I'm unaware of or is the shirt damaged or something?

It's fashion

It's for if you want a weird looking tan line.. well, unless you have fur.

God the ammount of relief she must feel now, this is the first time shes ever been able to be open about who she is. I can only imagine the amazing feeling that is.

Yeah, the feeling of not having to hide your true self is so very liberating...

It is a good thing to experience, it's one of the things I deeply appreciate showing a little.

Yay! I love shine day

It’s such a warm feeling. When my best friend learned of my little side it went so swimmingly well with no judgement, even telling me it was okay to call her Auntie, that I instantly broke down crying. It’s nice to have someone that I can still talk too while I’m regressing after a panic attack or something, and she’s even bought me stuffies and sweets before and is always willing to help me regress if she thinks it’ll help my various mental breakdowns. Having to not worry about hiding it is such a freeing feeling, even if it’s only to 1 extra person

Nobody should haveta hide, there are so many parts of being in this community and every part is valid! Love yoo all :3

Star. The way you depicted taking off all the weight in the last panel has to be the greatest thing I have ever saw. This page gave me a nice sigh of happiness. After her ordeal its good to see her relaxed and free in her own home. Thank you

aww.... star i'm going cry too

So much last panel!

I have a feeling Ella is going to enjoy babying Star

My feels...

Not hiding is the greatest feeling for sure.

This page is super sweet and refreshing. Glad Star’s found some peace.

As someone who was caught by their partner, I relate to this. I never would have had that conversation with someone if they hadn't found stuff first.

That last panel broke me. I've forgotten what not hiding feels like and I've experienced it before, so what happened? Something to examine in my private life

That last panel I can relate to, not having to hide anymore and accepting yourself it is quite the lifting feeling.

43 years old, and living with my very conservative parents. I will likely never feel this sort of relief. In fact, the only times I get to do anything are when they go away for a weekend or more, and then I have to be careful about what supplies I have on hand and how I dispose of them afterward.

Is Star a bit of a gamer? I see 2 computer screens on her desk.

The freedom to be yourself is not a luxury many of us are afforded. I remember how much flack I got for watching ponies in the early days of the fandom, but it eventually cooled down with several family members. It's nice to not have to hide.

I absolutely love this comic.
Tbh it could end here.
But i just dont want to see this end ever. Also i need to buy hard copies of this book. Would never forgive myself if i miss the chance

My heart, ah!!

Screeeee let it out star n_n it'll feel great! Big smiles!

aawww that cute diaper lynx~

this page makes me happy 💜

Aww

Maybe that day will come eventually

... oh gods that last line... oh gods... oh jeez oh gods... oh jeez man oh gods oh jeez oh gods... ;-;

So much same feels on both the description and those last two sentences of the comic.

Im someone who also luckily doesnt have to hide anymore and its incredible... Truly incredible and i wish every other little and big out there were able to be fully themselves without havin to hide.

Thank you for making Shine. This whole comic is amazing. ❤️

Awwww

This is a mood…this page is just a huge mood.
