Daww..

But but..why not?? :(

Star has a roommate.

Star wouldn't be caught dead by Elly wearing this outfit.

Exactly. If she took it home, she'd run the risk of Elly finding it

i'm sure elly wouldn't mind having a baby sister as a room mate. Star already liked the idea of Elly getting ready to change her.

I wouldn't mind what? I have no idea what you are on about. What has star been getting up to? :O ;P

Ahhh, Elly, we have a small surprise for you, dear.

:O Oh dear, has she been getting herself in trouble?

Only a little, Elly, only a little. But, I guarantee, she IS having a good time.

So, how are your maternal skills? Baking is a wonderful thing, owning your own shop is great, but have you ever considered being a Mother? You know, the joys of taking care of a little one (no matter how big she is) are boundless.

Don't worry, I'm sure Star won't be asking anything of you, but that 'change' you offered her (even though it was a breakfast cereal), you could have a lot of fun with that, you know?

But, I can't speak for Star, you'll just have to ask her when she gets home how her day was, and did she enjoy herself.

well soon your going to be having a big sister!

Lol

Liking an idea in fantasy is far different from liking it in reality. Star needs Elly to respect her as an adult roommate who can "pull her own weight", so to speak, not to mention the repercussions back on the base.

A couple of Presidential elections ago in the US, someone asked Bill Clinton, "Boxers or briefs?" in an MTV Q&A thing.
Imagine if he had answered "Attends" or "Molicare"... Even if he liked it, even if humiliation was his thing, the campaign would have ended in that moment. Sometimes, things you like need to stay private, either wholly to yourself or between you and your partner who understands discretion.

The first time we see Lure in the comic he is clearly dressed and "forced" to act like a toddler with his diaper's waistband intentionally exposed IIRC. This isn't set in the real world. That "bunting bag" is no worse then snuggies were other then maybe the lame seal puns. As for the whole diaper thing she could change in her room or the restroom like plenty of AB/DL's do.

That's fair. But what Lure is comfortable with or Manda makes him do has no bearing on Star's comfort level. She also fantasized about her coworkers forcing her into diapers and babying her. In fantasy, humiliation is a powerful stimulus. In reality, it can be pure hell. As for changing in the bathroom, sure... Right up until one of her superiors or subordinates on base finds out. As I read it, she's not comfortable having the whole world know about her baby side. To me, Star seems very well-balanced insofar as managing the two (or more!) sides of her life.

The dinosaurs are plotting to take over the world, just look at them! They must be stopped!

#StopTheDinosaursWithGiantRobots

Dinosaurs vs robots. That would be an awesome deathbattle.

Just seeing Star purring makes me relaxed... surely I'm not the only one who gets relaxed, am I?

yes you can, just keep it at manda's... it's not like she's gonna let you disappear on her now ._.

Yeah she could do that

she looks so glum i just want to holler this and flail my arms at her D;

That's what I was going to suggest.

Are you a cute purple cat???

No, I'm a cute red fox who is named for a cute purple cat. :3

Well red foxes are awesome and so is the reference. One of my favorite games of all time

Thank you! =^.^=

Alas.. An annoying speedbump provided by the reality of Star's life outside this..

Star would gladly visit every weekend if she could.

Awe but I don't wanna go yet!

Hmm.. Seems that she is letting possibilities get her down. There, there; you can just keep the outfit with Manda and Lure.. That is, if Lure doesn't chew it to bits

Something about the further you go down rabbit holes may be on Star's mind, as I'm not so sure it's not wanting to take more than you should even when offered it freely.

Also, where is Bella's natural hair; it has changed so often that it has become confusing.

I think Bella has mood hair o3o Like them mood rings we had as children x3

A mood ring? What's that?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mood_ring

Actually according to Bella's ref sheet she likes to change up her appearance with wigs.

Mood hair >3>

There are so many reasons why Star might turn down Bella, and I can understand all of them. However, I'm sure Bella will prevail in the end, and Star will have her bunting bag.

Really a great page, Sam. Wonderful job.

Hehe bob is gonna duck you up for nomming on his tail Star x3

Well she can keep it and just let Manda hold on to it for her.

gosh is a very wunnerful page love happy purring star :) *waves and hugs and hugs and waves* :)

Aww...playtime's over. There's always other times but those are perhaps best kept as rare or uncommon, (there's a difference).

dawww cant wait for the next page

The dino's are clearly reenacting the balcony scene from romeo and juliete.

Such a happy kitty! Wish I had some colorful keys to jingle over her ;)

awww poor star she worried

Just ask if you can keep it at her place. Or Manda's home. Not like you plan to padd up at your flat or apartment or whatever.

Dunno but for some reason I feel like the dinosaur's different story is Romeo and Juliet
the scene why are thou Romeo
And great page as always star, continue to shine

So relaxed, so cute :)

The dinosaurs are just going "We shall rule over this playpen and we shall call them....this playpen".

"I think we should call it your grave!"

"curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

"Mine is an evil laugh, now sleep!"....what, we can't say the d-word, that's a bad word!

d'aww lil kitty is enjoying herself alot too cute

can anyone explain to me what manda mean in the second panel?

They have a party/bbq to get to so they have to leave soon

oh she mean they have to get to the place where the party is being held wow did whe allready reach the party??

Wait, why can't you keep it?

because if anyone in her "normal life" found out that she owns that outfit she could never live the same way again.

Meh.

I agree

I know how she feels

embracing who you are is better then what people think about you

maybe she can keep it at lure/mandas place?

Oh my god i can relate to this so much my self. When someone is takeing care of u. And u has such a great time. And all of sudden...You has to go. BUT YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO!!! :c.

poor star. finding true happiness only to have reality smack her right in the face...she deserves a giant hug and all the cookies in the jar

I'd kill for a day like that. T_T been getting stress headaches lately. Some little space time would be a super life changer right about now...

I've never been little with others before *blush* maybe I should try it one day.

Thankfully I haven't been in a situation where I'd have to refuse that offer. I live at home, but my mother knows (that I'm gay and a transvestite) and she's understanding (we have a rule: What happens in your room is your business), but I feel for Star. That outfit is too damn cute! ;-;

Part of me still hopes that she will run into her room mate at this littles event and not have excuses to be big anymore...

Who else finds themselves clicking the "next" button, even knowing nothing will happen?

Aww, what a picture perfect time star is having. I'm glad everyone gets her not wanting it to be over; who would want to move on from that?

I like this picture its cute

They are all so cute 💗

Your comic is really great ! I'll wait next pages !

I wonder if Manda will give her no choice to wear it in the next page?

Well could keep it at Maranda's house possibly.

Thank u sooooo much I really needed that today. Work was sooooooooo hard the shine series It's just so good I can't not get enough of it fankyou sooo much heheheheheee I love to just laugh it's so fun hahaha (bad joke I know I'm trying so hard to be funny to my coworkers)

Ps can you reply I have a few questions about AB

Huh, I thought this playdate had Star meeting with a buncha other peoples.

No they were stopping off at bellas to pick up some ordered outfits then heading to the bbq/party

oooh

Sorry if this is getting annoying.but when's the new page of shine gonna come out a? It's been bugging me forever (forever being 24 hours😊

Theres 1 page per week really

Thanx it'll help to look forward to seeing it every week fankyou heps a wot

Awwh no, that "when it's over" feeling is the absolute worst...
Good luck Star~

I just finished a binge read from start to finish and this is my favorite comic on the site and probably of all time. Keep up the great work!

I highly respect that you bring in a very real aspect to this comic, I can understand how someone would feel bringing home something like that and having your roommate or family etc finding out. I don't currently have many things that I am scared of family or friends knowing about that I enjoy..

I am not into this myself - but I do love to learn about it and I love reading this comic. I can understand the controversy around this and how some people hide this aspect of their life from others because of the possibility of being discriminated against. I see it more and more now that I am learning more about it, which is weird how I never noticed it before..the amount of hate surrounding it. I find myself defending people more now then I have before when I didn't understand it.

I really appreciate this comic.

I want to see this continue. With Manda as a big sister. Like a 5 year old or something like that.
