Awww so cute

LOL ^^ I wish I was in their place

Lol busted xD

Ha! Ha! Manda you dark horse...er cat. I should have known you'd plant a Baby Monitor nearby.

Well, she did say she placed a baby monitor nearby a couple pages ago. Can't trust babies to stay quiet, after all. =P

I have to say Lure has a really good point.

wonder what the "But" was she was going to say. and is very cute, Lure almost looks like an older brother that is enjoying it a lil too much hehe

You completely nailed it in the second panel. I've been there and I've only now started to recover from it.

I'm really loving these moments to reflect and take a breath in this comic. The pacing of Shine just feels so... mature at times and I really, really find it welcome.

It's funny, while reading through the last 2 pages I completely forgot about the 2-way. I'm just as surprised believe me. XD

Man, just as we're getting to the juicy parts...

I too find it odd that she interrupts them now. I was seen her as taking mental notes on Star to understand her better and see how she can play with this informations.

I've never really understood the whole self-loathing thing. Possibly I just don't take things as seriously as most people... possibly I should be worried about that... ^.^

Mebbe its cause you're a little bit older in ageplay age zee? I dunno maybe you're just super clever enough to know when is a good time to worry and when isnt eheh

I think the second part, Zee-Zee is super clever.

yeah its easyer to accept if your older in age play age i have found and eayer for people to except around you because they see you as a childminder not as an ABDL. for girls people just think is cute alot of times wich does not help my disphoria because everyone sees cute tomboy not little boy

i have not told my mom about some of my kinks, mostly because i know what her reaction would be, i did tell my dad though

never seen a baby monitor with a speaker for both way comunication before

I thought most baby monitors these days were two way, that way you dont hafta get outta bed to reassure your baby. :D heheh

maby they are, but last time i saw one, it was over 10 years ago

There's some two way ones :3 I used one a while back to communicate easily between house floors with my disabled mother ^^

They have even newer ones that have sound both ways and video monitoring and a sensor for the crib that can sense baby's breathing and heart beat and sounds an alarm if anything odd happens and you can share it with family who live out side the house and they can tune in from the internet. Things keep changing :)

This speaks to me quite a bit. Self-loathing is something some of us deal with more or less often. I've certainly done my share of sobbing in the corner of the shower feeling disgusted. Fortunately I've had terrific friends supporting me and nowadays that black dog shows up much less frequently so that I can actually enjoy and have fun. And that's the most important thing after all :)

INdeed, my previous relationship had bouts of being utterly fantastic and utterly devastating in terms of making me feel good or making me feel like a freak. It was not good. But these days, with a few more years under my belt to understand myself an with a fantasic husband and a collection of amazing friends, that loathing part of me really doesnt pop up very frequently at all

You're way awesome, you. ;) I must learn from you. ;)

Hih! Then just stick around and you'll learn :P

I don't think star is a big enough perv to wake up in the middle of the night and try to get off next to Lure...right? But now I remember she hasn't gone potty all evening. I hope she wakes up soaked and has to explain to Manda during changies why she has big girl panties on underneath.

Aaaaand babysitter interruptus!

Can't wait what happens next.

The lighting you are doing on these pages is incredible. <:

Busted! Also, I cannot wait to purchase this as an actual book. I hope you get some printed and not publish strictly as an eBook.

Those smiles in the last panel! They're so awkward yet so... them.

sooo awesome and i love how the hair came out!!! Oh my gosh so pretty!

Oooo busted xD i so want a physical copy of this comic, its so cute

Now imagine this playing throughout their conversation.

If this were published into a small graphic novel, it would go right into my play room with the other comics and kid books I have. I totally support that.
As for the whole binge-purge cycle. I've been there. I think for the most part, we all have. My amazing husband and I found the support we needed this year to be more comfortable with who we are. He's really gotten into the daddy role. The best part is that my family and friends all know, and it changed nothing. I still have caring family and great friends. I don't see another purge cycle in the future with the support I have from everyone these days. And I have to thank you as well Star. You're journals and comics have spoken to my husband and I in ways that have really helped us both realize where we fit into this crazy thing. You have made an impact in this little ones life in so many ways, all from across the pond via internet journals and drawings.
Keep up the great work. You're awesome ^.=.^

Awww! I just started following this and it's over? I hope its not too long before the next part! <3

next friday :D not too long away :D

so sweet and cute but they were naughty little cubs not going beddy bye when they were told. I know it is hard when ya got a million billion trillion things running through your head but bedtime is bedtime. *shaves the finger of shame at the naughty kittens.*

Hug him Star. Hug your new diaperbutt friend. ._.

And yeah, I'm a transvestite myself and I sure as heck went through the loathing/purging cycle when I was a teenager. Looking back it feels so... stupid now. I mean, when you get right down to it, all I was doing was dressing up in different clothing than I normally would. I did it in private and nobody outside of my circle of friends knows about it.

Great page. been loving this dialog!

*hugs and waves* :)

I love these last two pages dealing with the strong, long held thoughts about being an AB/DL. It's something I think all of us can relate to. At least I know I can relate to both of their experiences.

It's nice to see Lure and Star open up to each other like that. Especially after what happened to Grimlock.

It's taken me many years to come to terms with who I am and learn to accept it; I'm very happy I did! ^^

With the support of my Daddy, my husband (Daddy-in-training) and so many other wonderful friends and surrogate family members, I've become a much happier person! ^^

Uh oh babies got busted :) I certainly know I've had my share of the loathing train. It'd not fun but I've finally reached a point where my kinks are a part of me and j shouldn't be embarrassed by something that makes me happy

Busted!

Geez. Binge/purge cycle...That was me about exactly 2 years ago. I did that several times. Then I started reading this comic, and I was like "Hey! I'm not alone! YAY!!!". And then I just relaxed and let it become a part of me. I even told my mother right before I left the house. Nothing really changed. (I'm glad that my folks are pretty open minded in a "Don't judge" sort of way)

That entire crib scene TuT just.. all of the feelings.. oh gosh..

I NEW IT!!! hehe

sweet way to end book 1

OHMYGAWSH the FEEEELS!

Busted :D

Am I the only one who finds lure's smile in the last panel goofy af?

Arma wise dinolionsauwr! Rawr

many years of knowledge... such knowledge that even most baby buttts wish they had your baby butt level of know-how...

you're also very cute with long hair not tied up in a ponytail

Very sweet way to end book one~

Ha, caught. I can understand as I had gone through a self-loathing stage with a different kink.

Well, i mean, I don't really tell anyone about my babyfur-ness. There is a sense of separation there. hm.

*smiles* that actually makes me feel better... I have been kinda... dealing with the whole self loathing as well, and this... really put things into perspectives. ^.^ I want to thank you, so very much.

I agree! I've pretty much gotten over the self loathing thing, but I still have anxiety about people finding out. I try to keep in mind how absurd it would be if friends and family think less of me because of this, as true love and friendship are unconditional. I have a feeling that the whole friends finding out scenario will come into play soon.

Unrelated to the content. Jeepers you've gotten REALLY good since your early days Star! Like, dang, yo go girl! (Not an artist, so I'm not able to articulate much beyond that :D)

Lol I kinda want to see Manda's expression when she hears them talking!!! XD and her expression as she scolds them through the baby monitor!! XD



Wise words Lure!!! Very wise!!! ^,..,^

Oh, possibly an evil, evil smirk.

XD yeah!!! XD

I think this is a powerful message, good for any kink really, not just the AB/DL community.

I'm still waiting for the time when Amanda discovers that she has her big girl undies on under her diaper (she does still, right?).

I'm almost curious what the trouble would be... but Lauren's too much of a good girl to find out. ;)

I know that I've had the self loathing now and then, but mostly in a 'maybe that's why I like it' sort of way if that makes sense. I know most of my kid side isn't really shared, not even with my mate, but I'm more comfortable with it than I used to be.

lovely interruption manda XD

Semicolons are great aren't they?

this is another really fantastic page star, really...

In what universe does a baby monitor work two ways?

Google 2 way baby monitor. They exist I thought most new baby monitors were 2 way.

That night light is awesome!

Seriously, I want that in my life.

Me too!

Does this mean the rest will only be in the book and not here? D: U GOT ME HOOKED THO >///> Can I pay you in cookies? ;~;

No. Not at all. I was just mentioning wverything thats been in the comic so far will be whats in book one. Thats all. Next friday the new book starts.

YAY! ^.^~ *gathers popcorn and soda for friday* :3

The atmosphere in this pic is so, so wonderful :>

Aww, what a touching moment and quite the truth about this crazy desire. I loathe it quite often, but in the end I remind myself that I could be into something that could be a lot worse.

One last thing: Manda is a big meanie for that interruption even if it was hilariously well-timed ^_^;.

I knew this talk had to be stopped somewhere, Star, but then again—smart kitten, but even smarter Manda.

Great line from Lure on second panel. Really solid work star

Lure Iooks pretty sexy in that second panel. He should wear his hair down more often.

Star, I just wanna say this comic is absolutely GORGEOUS. I mean, WOW. I love how you drew the pillow-talk stare-at-the-ceiling faces and the frustration on Star and the relaxation on Lure and how you made the soft lighting from the nightlight make me feel like I'm actually THERE and... wow.

I also, gotta comment on how absolutely bang on point Lure is about self-acceptance, or how I've had these feels too - more often than I'd like to these days. Thank you for your help.

busted lol

my lil bro and sister have these big ladybug plushies that send out night light stars just like how you drew sthis.

that aside, good book one

i know you will have to move on, but i dont want her visit to their house to end omg..

How will you publish it? I recommend lulu

that top right panel. i think its true, every one has probably gone through that self loathing fase

Just wanted to compliment on how much detail and work you put in your comic! I am not a baby or diaperfur really (all tough I do enjoy drawing them and I want to be a mom!), but I still enjoy your work and it rlly inspires me as an artist and as an person. Great work ♥ I can see allot of improvement! Keep it up! :D

Wow. This page speaks to me. I feel like I'm going through a self loathing state.

The faces are really well done here. I can even see lures cheekbones. :)

I forgotted about da baby monitor so it kinda startled me XD

Why did Manda have to interfere? Moments like these are more important than anything else. That they are both too tired to feel awkward or nervous and can just talk.

For me that self-loathing stage pushed me towards things I don't want to be into. It half-succeeded unfortunately.

This is beautiful. I wish I had had someone to tell me these things so many years ago when I was first learning to accept myself.

This has helped me so much since its been posted. Apart from the SO I'm in a very similar state as lure these days including a complete crib.

I would love to go to bed with a baby monitor

Lure is absolutely speaking FACTS!!!
