Tell her you got a new fetish, she might be alright with it "a little".

A fetish For marshmallows and lemon drizzle cake....Elly already knows :D

Star does also love those things too hahaha, anything sweet really, like you can def win her over with baked goods or chocolate.

Maybe she found the false board or heard ya when you were hitting the punching bag :p

No the fetish where you hug Bob, suck on a pacifier, and wear baby clothes~

Oh. Yeah. no. Elly doesnt need to know, that'll only complicate the good thing the two friends have going on

Why would it complicate it? I mean as long as Star doesn't try to drag Elly into it her fetish wouldn't really change anything. I do wonder how she would react exactly. I can't imagine she would just shrug it off and be totally uninterested like what happened with me but I don't see her making a huge deal of it either.

Elly is very good at trying to ask things though. Not coming on too aggressively and doing something for Star and reminding her of their friendship. She really knows Star and if Star feels interrogated and she'll get defensive and won't say anything useful from then on.

Ive known entire marriages crumble, families seperated over discovering one of the two like abdl stuff. Some folk cant get past the hurrhurrr diapers=pedos, and we all know ab/dl stuff isnt the same as pedo stuff yes we know that, but some folk dont want to listen. some folk have already made up their minds and refuse to listen to reason. True it can be a positive experience and you can find acceptance, but equally things can go very badly very quickly and when you're renting a room from someone or living in someone elses house I would be VERY hesitant to share something that they dont realistically need to know because you could suddenly find yourself homeless.
Life isnt a fairytail.

I wasn't really met with acceptance rather with indifference. They didn't want me mentioning it to them and to keep it away from them.

I would think if it causes such breakages there was already a lot of tension there to begin with. With Star's family I can see it doing that since there already is quite a bit of hostility and accusation there. But Elly and Star seem extremely relaxed and comfortable around each other.
When Star showed up at home in pigtails Elly wasn't offended, or perturbed or anything. She just giggled and lightly teased Star.

Maybe it could be best to wait a little while. That Star has already been doing it for several weeks by the time she tells Elly. That way Elly already knows it's not going to violently escalate in any way or change her.
Star already is a weird Lynx with her hair, her tomboy attitude and her violent tendencies. Yet Elly seems completely open and completely comfortable with her.

If they were often nagging on each other, or accusing each other, or trying to one-up each other or Elly was really concerned about having a good impression of her home or have a lot of high class entitled friends. But none of that seems to be the case. She is totally fine with having a thickly diapered dog with no manners running around or having Star come home, raid her fridge and looking like a 6 year old.
Whenever they are interacting they are completely relaxed and they take jabs at each other with no offense taken in the slightest by either of them.
With just how open minded they both are and how comfortable they are around each other I don't see it leading to anything negative. I think the worst is what happened with me where Elly tolerates it as long as Star doesn't involve her in it in any way.
Elly just doesn't strike me at all like a very accusatory type or one who get's fixed ideas on people. I haven't seen her complain about or accuse anyone.

this hits me way to close to home. i came out to my mother and she we got into a huge argument about it and we basically stopped speaking to each other only suffering each others existence because i was like 14 when i did this. when i moved out we borderline stopped speaking to each other and only see each other on holidays and family gatherings. and because of the hate i got then i got very depressed and just hated myself. i have overcome that but i still am very scared of telling anyone else due to that experience.

*hugs* I'm so sorry. I always worry for folk still.living at home and buying in packs of diapers and stuff. It can get really problematic really fast. I'm glad you've moved on and become a stronger person but I'm sorry you went thru that in the first place

And then there's me, I met my friends room mate, they got really interested fast and asked questions about secrets stuff and I caved, told them about ABDL things and they were SUPER interested.
Buuut they were a little crazy, and told her other guy friends I was her "gay friend" because "they liked her too and didn't want to have drama" and a few other things that made me not want a relationship with that kinda person, haha. She was pretty awesome though, did quite a few things with her. ^^;

I wish I had a Star to give the candy I don't want to. I can't eat candy, the way I used to.

I think they are talking about your fetish for well placed bubbles

Tbf who could hate marshmallows?

I dont hate marshmellows but i deffinitly dont like them :c

HOLD THE MOBILE PHONE Elly knows star is a smol????

Oh nvm I saw the explanation

nope nope She doesnt. Panic over

HAHAHA not quite quick enough

I don't really want to see them, but I DO want to hear the word 'badonkadonks' as much as possible, please. ^.^

Haven't seen you in Shine's comments for quite a big while :D
Also I kinda do want to hear it too :3
But there are better names for them :P

Badonkadonks Badonkadonks Badonkadonks Badonkadonks Badonkadonks Badonkadonks Badonkadonks.

How's that for ya see? XD

Eh, baby Star needs someone to wipe her mouth clean~

nah it's way better to imagine what they look like than actually see them.

Didnt realized I was early.

So you say Elly knows~~
Interesting, interesting. *nods nods.*

Elly knows about my fetish for lemon drizzle cake yup hahaha

:'D Fair enough.

Aww, Elly is so sweet. <3

Elly's spoiling Star. Something tells me she would be very understanding of Star's love of wearing diapers.

I actually have something to say about the last panel but it's a little depressing so I will say sometimes it's ok to say you're not ok.

It's not only ok...its actually kinda important. Some times those barriers have to come down or you just end up destroying yourself trying to put on a brave face.

Well, I think Elly needs to wipe your face, since you have chocolate all over it.
You know, IRL, we all say 'Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry about it.' when in fact we're far from fine, and we're going sixteen different directions inside. I imagine Star must be going semi crazy with this weekend, first the intense highs of being at the party, and then the extreme anxiety of being with her Dad.
When we say that to our friends, they know we're not okay, but a true friend will back off and wait, and it comes out eventually. I get the feeling Elly knows how to wait and is willing to wait Star out. She seems that kind of person.

Parlaying that into real life I wish I could be that friend for you, to be the one you can talk to, but I don't think I am. Besides Paul, I hope there are others that you can open up to, and that they can listen and relate to you.

Sometimes, it's okay to take the mask off and let others see what you're hiding.

HUGS

If you wear it long enough it becomes hard to take that mask off. You feel safe behind those emotional barriers you've set up and want so bad to not get hurt again that you'd rather push everyone away. Not saying it's a good thing, in fact it's far from good, just saying I understand.

I know that all to well. Mine has cracked once or twice, and it sometimes slips for my p-shrink, but not often.

Take it from someone who's been there. It will eat away at you until it completely destroys you. If you constantly put on that brave face and you never take down those walls it will ruin your life and has the possibility to cause permanent psychological damage.

Now on a brighter note. Badonkadonks. XD

A nice little bit of fluff before returning to the heavy stuff, I like it :3

I also love that little dollop of hot chocolate on Star's muzzle in the last panel, that's adorable :3

I'm disappointed that star doesn't have a foam mustache, and Elly is a best friend.

After Elly saying this with friends at the end, I have thins song stuck in my head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHFy3YWpRx8

I think it's kinda fitting.

I also could see Elly joking (without knowing about Stars fetish) and saying something like: "Maybe I should just make you a bottle when you keep drinking so messy."

or be like "If you keep eating like that, I'm gonna have to give you a bib"

That could also happen. And maybe offering to feed her^^

You know I wasn't expecting that when I clicked the link lol

What did you expect?

I actually don't know lol I guess I have a habit of just doing this without precaution

Bob's somewhere in her room or in her bag grumbling. "WHERE'S MY HOT CHOCOLATE!!! STAR YOU BETTER NOT EAT ALL THE MARSHMALLOWS AGAIN!!"

Star you either work out 5 times a day or have one hell of a metabolism to stay in shape with all the sweets Elly feeds you.

She literally just built a shed today. She's had quite the workout XD

Star does work out quite a bit and does quite a bit of judo and kickboxing, but also yeah her metabolism is through the roof. inspired by a guy at my work who eats like a million things a day (and not healthy stuff either its all pies and cakes and crisps etc etc ) and he's like as thin as a rake. like...how...how is that possible HAHAHA

it'll catch up to her one day and then she'll get a job as a pusheen

Can confirm. I used to be like that guy you work with. I had trouble keeping a healthy weight. Had to eat something crazy like 2500-3000 calories a day and my mom still accused me of being anorexic.

Now I'm 32, my metabolism has slowed way down, and I've spent the last several years trying (and failing) to convince my stomach it shouldn't need 3000 calories to feel full. Though thanks to all the rationing I'm doing now, I'm finally seeing me weight go back down... Maybe once it gets there I can keep it there now.

I adore the chocolate on her face in the last panel, such a cute extra detail :3

The word badonkadonk makes me giggle and I dont know why

Hot choccy moustache and lemon drizzle stains... the universal signs of at least the beginnings of recovery/actually being alright (lemon drizzle can be interchangeable with other flavours but it's certainly the most common).

if Elly ever does find out about the false board and Stars "Little" personality I would hope she remembers friends care for eachother. If Elly found out Stars secret i would hope she would keep an open mind, remeber no 2 people are exactly alike, and even though if something confuses you, its a reason to sit down, talk and learn about said confusion. If something confuses you, you should try your best to understand it. Not shove it away, thatll just make things worse. Trust me, i know. Especially when it came to being introduced to the AD/DL world i was confused, but that was years ago, and look at me now, here i am reading an entire comic based on ABDL stuff.

So if Elly does find out Stars secret side, im sure the two will work things out like good friends would. Afterall whats a few diapers, and a pacifier between friends?

I can somewhat relate to you with this, I fell into the same world as you, (digitally looking at Shine), I encountered it by accident when I was looking up 'images of funny pet faces' when I think my browser identified a pet as a furry and at first I clicked on the first page of Shine, and I thought "Nah, it should be safe." but when I looked at the story's gallery, I backed out as soon as possible, the next day I went back, which I instantly regretted, because now I can't look at a baby or a child again without getting those images flashing in my head. (This was all a year ago) I still can't look at them the same, but the content that included Manda and Tessa and their "sensitive and how the frick is that even possible?!" things immediantly killed my eyes, *R.I.P. Lure's sanity and soul* had made me freak out even more. I never did it physically, and never will. I've been keeping all this a secret from those I know and love, and I hope I go to the grave with the secret, so no one knows. I may be looking at this now, but I'm slowly recovering in these pages, but in my experience of reading stories about one person's secret lifestyle, sadly, the truth will come out at some point sooner or later... But a positive in all of this, I can't get enough of that fursona Star and her strength in all of this crazyness called "the secret life". And FYI, if Star's boss or Manda and Tessa's "dark deeds and/or intensions" or anyone else that has done harm to Star in non-canon to Shine pictures...once my fursona and fursona's non-fursona roomate/friend are finally released onto my profile, THEY WILL (verbally) END THEM!!! (And by 'end' I mean duct tape their fursonas' mouths and bodies to the walls of my fursona and fursona's non-fursona roomate/friend's attic of their house). ; ) I would hurt them in any other way.

I don´t see why she would take it heavily. I find it most likely she would just be mildly curious. Like "Oh, you're into this? I see. What do you like about it?" Not in a mocking way but just out of curiosity.
With you it was YOU being introduced into it. Elly is not being introduced into it, she just finds out her friend is into it. With me most people seem uninterested in it. They all shrug it off like "Well, if it makes you happy" though they also don't like me talking about it.

I don't see there is anything to really work out. I mean it's not as if Star is trying to drag Elly into it. I think it would be convenient that Elly knows so that if she finds a pacifier she knows what's up but other than that nothing would really change. Elly would want to keep it private so no diapers if there are guests and things like that but Star already wouldn't really do that.

As someone who has been "fine" most of the time: "fine" is not the same as "well".
I hope Elly gives Star a hug.

I remember being raised to not do that. That if I don't want to talk about something I can say so and they will stop asking.

Mmm!! Elly is so nice to Star!! I hope they give hugs and I can't wait for Friday!!! Ahh! I wish I could do Patreon. But I'm broke oof. I hope you are doing alright and I was wondering, how do you draw so well? what app do you use?

I see that spot on Stars face in the last panel and all I can think is, that Elly will clean it up for the baby

It's good to know when a friend cares. I would offer cake though, a nice baked lemon cake

I have some strange impression about Elly's words

Suck a heart warming page that Elly cares so much I feel like she knows something

without Elly would star still punching Stuff . Elly is a good friend ( I guess ) : )

Well the again star came up then they talked but ether way she is still a good friend

Now would be a good time to cuddle on the couch and watch sumthin humorous together~ ☕☕💝

Gratuitous shower panels and chocolate mustaches

“No one wants to see Star's badonkadonks anyway...right?”

WRONG!

Bring us the tities!

That's a friend right there. Senses your unease and is there with some of your favorite comforts.

Not a great afternoon, but what a nice way to round out an otherwise rich, full weekend.

Yes. That's what every entity should have got.

Elly giving of major mommy vibes over here..

Fax

Well, no wonder she gets a little worried when a punching bag is also being used for verbal punches.
(No offense!)

This is a sweet page, and that last panel is cute. You know if Elly knew about Star being a baby I can see her in that last panel getting napkin wetting it and cleaning Star's cheek and mouth.

Ooo I think ellie knows about the loose floorboard and looked and found the diapers

Whats a flake? Also love well placed bubbles! Also maybe Ellie heard stars yelling as she was working out.....

its a cadburies thing...sort of just a stick of choclate thats well...flakey

Def will try at some point, sounds yummy!

One thing i like is a small layer of whip cream then a big Marshmellow roast the top of it with a kitchen torch more whip cream ground a hint of cinnamon on top with a cherry

My cousin who is way older than me used to make me those before he make me love the coffee they made

Star, we want to see whatever you're comfortable sharing. you are a 'gem' ;)

Lemon drizzle and hot cocoa? Sounds like an amazing pick me up. ^^

Elly in the first panel is ADORABLE!!!! =^w^=

Why thank you! ☺️☺️

I, for one, don't want to see those.

I always wondered how you keep hot chocolate out of a furry face

Hey...did you see what I tried to show you?

gosh having a friend that knows me that well would be grate

That description made me laugh XD

Friendship is awesome and weird. This person doesn't know everything, doesn't need to know everything, but damn they know you. I've both been the person pouring tea or making dinner for someone and also has been the person getting comforted. I've also 10/10 been Star getting all of the blasted sugar fluff across my mouth without noticing.

Starrrr o:, ya got a lil som'n som'n on yer face der >,>

Haven't read the other comments yet, but I have a feeling Elly knows of Star's fetish to be a little. How? I'm not entirely sure, but I have a hunch, though, I will wait to see how things progress.

Times that Star had close calls with Elly:
1. Pg 15
2. Pg 43
3. Pg 59-61
4. Pg 277-279
Let's hope that 289 isn't added to the list.

See 2:56 in the video

Sorry it made me think of that

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Y'naww dah taim givenn is dee end of duh video 😐😥😄

I still wonder what's going to happen between Marellis and star

I’m fine is code for please help me I am having a problem and want help

Soap bubbles are so convenient, sometimes. Elly seems to be a good friend.

15 pages of no abdl theme, where are you going with this story?

Have you read the comic from the beginning...if you're expecting padding every page you're gonna be disappointed

Pretty sure "badonkadonks" refers to something lower down on and on the other side.
And no, people would rather see that covered by something fluffy and crinkly.

honestly why is it so hard to open up to people you trust most or anyone for that matter

I think it's because if they are close to you and you tell them something that they might not like they might not want to be around you anyone and then that means you jut lost a close friend or family member

Umm Star? you have a... a little on your...your face there

I mean its a small thing "I hate my Dad hes a horrible being" its not hard to say to a good friend

I get the feeling that one day while your out Elly will be going some home cleaning and accidentally find out about your secret. She seems like the understanding type of friend though so she might not mind.

If i ever got the chance I'd make you my nana's chocolate cake with home made frosting and all I'd want is for Star to say, "I am bab hear me crinkle."

...she knows!


that or she overheard her venting.

In this scenario I really don't want to see them actually. Sex should go in moments where it fits and this is not one of them.

What's in the hot chocolate and cake? They both look like they regressed into little tots at the end.

I love this story/comic thing i just red it start to finish and loved every second of it and cant wait to see what happens next and I wish stuff like this happened in the real world i would love this to happen thanks for the amazing comic

I do hope she'll tell soon. Elly really seems like she would be understanding. After all why wouldn't she be? She doesn't seem like she has a fragile ego and she legitimately cares for Star.
I don't see her willing to participate and be Star's mommy but she would tolerate it as long as it doesn't get out of control.

regarding stars badonkadonks, it's just nature, nothing to be ashamed of! use European rules that if it's not sexual, nudity is fine :P

The only reason I know what a flake even is is because of a video I recently watched of a youtuber eating british candy XD

I wonder if Star's father has fears of Star being lesbian. We know she isn't but she hasn't had an official boyfriend yet and she's 26 in addition she lives with a female friend who she is obviously very close to. Elly seems more like a mother/big sister for Star though than anything else.

Elly has Pulse(her boyfriend) he appears in the comic quite early on. :) Star's just renting the spare room.

Does Pulse live in that house? I mean the only time he appears is when he's gaming with Elly. I haven't seen him at the breakfast table or anything. Nor has Star talked to him which she most certainly would if he was living with them.

no he doesnt live there yet, just stays over with Elly

What is his relationship with Star?

"I'm fine."

...yeah that's a mood i know all too well..

I thought we all agreed on the term "funbags"

I olmost 4got! >:o
Ye, let's alternate those names

Elly has big mommy vibes, very cute~

I am kinda hoping thar Ellie is a CG now, maybe to make Star happy. Just an idea ^w^

she is so cute

i have just finised reading all the exsisting chapters of shine IN 3 HOURS I SHOLD HAVE SAVORD IT

This is a super cute page. It really helps lift up the feelings after some really heavy pages.

The fox saves the day. <3

i wish i never font out about this till it was finished so i could do it in 1 run

Servicesu servicesu

What nooo.... pssshhh not like I'm a tit man or anything....🙃

I mean, I wouldn't mind seeing her funbags. >_>;;;;

Oh-I mean-ahhh-

Elly is so sweet here. Such a good friend to Star, letting her know she cares but not forcing her to talk about it. <3

im not really into babyfur stuff but, this has been a wild ride and i absolutely love this comic!
the last page was heartbreakingly relatable, my dad is just like that but enough with the sad stuff!
i love this comic and i hope for it to continue!

Good lord look at those humungous hungolomghnonoloughongous!!

Butttt i wanna see fun bags *sniffles* i wanna see ittttt *cry*

I'm excited to see more. Wish I could afford patreon, hope everything with the current pandemic isn't causing you too much stress. Best of luck to you

Hey Start, are you doing alright during the world pandemic?

great story cant wait for the next parts to show up

ah sorry 289 and 290 are already uploaded i just seem to have missed adding the link in thats fixed now and im about to upload 291
