First .D. :D

What? .3. *gives plushie*

The whole "first" thing is just kind of stupid tbh. You added nothing along with it related to the picture making it worse...

I just had that feeling when being within minute of iit being posted. I'm sorry ;~;

Eh it's no big. At least you understood what you did wrong *hugs*

it was wrong D: *goes and hides in the baddie corner*

41st! ... Yeah that took a bit to count properly then refreshed the page to copy and paste but being 17 hour late I figured I was fine. That said ... 1 week paid break from Work! The fact she threw it away proves she needed it. Pills ... yeah Gem is throwing the wrong thing away.

[Please not this was intended purely as a joke being 41st and not intended to scold or belittle .. over belittle .. uh yeah... the OP of First as [inset proper gender pronoun] has already had that done]

looking good so far, keep it up, you've always been an excellent storyteller.

some one has a surprise for her ^w^

Well, that's good life advice. Simply have a bunch of bad nightmares and then take pills but not take the week off. Hard worker!

When all Gem has really had in her life is her work, and shes poured her whole life into getting where she is. I dont think she's going to take advice to have a week off work, Its stupid obviously, and Me personally if my doctor said take a week off, I would. But Gem is very professionally driven.

love the new icon btw :)
(still waiting for my cameo to show up :> )

Gem, you workaholic. Watch Paul try and get her to take time off too…

Wouldn't count on that.

Well, my advice would be the opposite of what Gemma's doing... don't take the pills, but do take the time off! Ah well, I'm sure it'll all work out in the end... ^.^

considering that the time off is so she can decompress and the pills are probably to keep her from dreaming
i would do both because the scary thing is not what she wants i do agree that the fun with rasile and zee-zee are nice the scary thing is not (i should know night terrors suck)

Right now I wanna tell Adult Jem; STOP WORKING OR ELSE I'LL GHGHIJTEGEIJTRI

Because she needs rest and relaxation, work is a big stress point for many people.

I yhink the best part of this series (aside from the story) is watching the transformation of the art. Its amazing to flip from the beginning of the series to the later parts and seeing the improvements. Not that the art wasn't good to begin with, just you can see a chronological improvement just by flipping some pages. Awesome story, really wondering what will happen next and how the cookie will finally crumble!

I don't know if those pills are actually going to work, but she's better off taking that week spending some quality time with Paul of course searching for her family and her beloved Gwen.

This comic never lets me down when it comes to the plot and the art made by toddlergirl but in this one I feel Gwen is making a really bad choice. She should not take the pills in the first place and should only take work off. The reason why is the fact dreams are an important function of your dream cycle and you need them to get a good nights sleep. Taking the pills will not help her at all it would just make things worse. On top of that on hows the pills work you can suspect some side effects that add on other problems Gwen just does not need. If they do not that will be the first drug from a physiologist I have ever herd of that has no side effects.

its is still a adorable comic ^w^

Gem needs lots of rest maybe if she rested well and slept well she wouldn't need those pills. Lol reminds me of matrix where they give you two option and two different pills

I believe she may be regretting her choices of action soon enough. She might just wanna give taking a much needed break from work a try and get to know those dreams a bit more. Pushing them away with those meds could have some dire consequences.

Hey, wouldn't it be cool if she took a red pill and found out that all her dreams were real and that the stuff in her "real life" was all a chemically induced fantasy? Of course, then she'd be chased around by a bunch of guys in suits and sunglasses, and would have to spend a lot of time talking to Cowboy Curtis from Pee-Wee's Playhouse...

LOL then Gem could beat up keanu reeves. I like that idea :)

Psst that's the matrix thing :P the blue and red pill offer one will make you continue living on the normal life you currently have the other will bring her to reality, the truth :) that's why I said matrix becuase she currently has pills in her hand :P

Ho hum... I guess that workaholic thing can be hard to resist...

But seriously, it did look like you put a lot of work into that Shine comic. Like, a whooooole lot of work.

SOOOOO many hours. I dont need sleep honest.

This is going to be intresting to see what the tablets will do to her dreams !!! ^^

I hope thay wont distought her memory to much ^^

30TH POST :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

gem your not sposed to take half the doctors instructions what if those meds make ur dreaming happen more often. an durring the day

nice comic so far

I think I'd have to agree with ZeeZee here. I'd take the time off and not take the pills. Not just because wanting the whole cubby dream experience but well it's not good to skip out on reaching REM sleep for too long. Go too long without it and it begins to mess with your brain's chemistry. Also I get the feeling that this will not end well. As skipping out on the dreaming and continuing to work might cause some things to manifest again. For example. An accident at a very in opportune time.

Still looks wonderful to me perhaps not as detailed as shine but it's seperate level of detailedness makes it easy to tell the two apart at a distance I quite like that and it's still pretty darn detailed itself

This isn't going to go well at all. I can tell.

same not going to end well

hmm interesting

Nooo Gem! You might need that note more than you think!!

She's going to forget to take them, isn't she?

uh oh, why does this spell disaster?

I just hope she won't regret her decisions =w=

if I was in Gem shoes I would take a week off

NOOO! Gemma!!
If you don't dream, where's the dream-within-a-dream supposed to sleep?

I wonder what will go wrong.

Wow, Gem is looking so pretty on this page! I'm really impressed.

What if someone sees that in the bin and knows it's from Gemmer even Paul seeing it would be rather embarrassing

Hometime initiated. ;)

Sounds like something I might say. :)
