Elly is
You probably don't remember Jess, but she's Star's brothers wife we meet her once back when Star is building the shed for her Dad(the one who had the twin girls and is pregnant with a third)
I kinda chickened out with this page. I was going to make the flashback basically reflect a thing that happened to me a bit more closely but it would have dragged the flashback on for like a dozen pages so I bailed on that idea and summerised it in a page or two so it def has less emotional impact I guess. But that's the trade off. It would have just been overly self indulgent anyway....
So here's the real story....
As a kid growing up in the army you kinda get shifted around a lot. by the time I was 7 I'd already lived in 6 different places. But when I was 6 I made a friend. Her name was Emma. Emma and me we're inseperable until it came to the day my dad was posted elsewhere and suddenly we upped and moved.
I hadnt been told about this so at school we were getting ready to celebrate Bastille day. Me and emma were in house pegasus at school so we had certain duties to perform at the celebration including singing various french songs and doing certain arts and crafts and there was going to be a biiig bonfire and fireworks and it was all going to be super exciting. We were told we needed to bring a torch with tissue paper over the top of our particular house colour (pegasus was blue) to the evening celebration. So like weeks of prep went into this and I got super excited for fireworks and getting to be with my friend at this big bonfire party thing so I say goodbye to her at the school gate expecting to see her in a couple of hours....
That was the night we moved. I have no idea why they made me go through all the learning of the various french songs and working on all the arts projects and doing all this cool stuff...I dont know why they couldnt just...like not move for an hour so I would be able to go to the celebration take part sing my songs and have time to say goodbye. But instead Im sat in the car thinking we're going to this thing...and suddenly we're driving in the opposite direction...It's then explained that we're moving away. but by that point It's too late. No goodbyes no nothing...and then....as if orchestrated just to hammer the nail in harder, the fireworrks start going off. Like Bye ...This is what you could have won. and im just sat there with my blue tissue paper torch feeling like my whole heart had just been ripped out.
I found it really hard to make friends after that. Stars not like me in that aspect she's very personable, she can pretty much get along with anyone and has confidence to chat to strangers and stuff. Sadly me...Not so much..

I believe that 
FlunkyDave is specifically referring to how Star's braided hair is positioned in the final panel makes it look like it is originating from her chin.

That's so messed up cos once you're in regular infant like schooling wherever in world you might be, you do what you did, form relationships with others and often do things in groups so to just pull you with no explanation and no knowledge at the point of leaving is just inhuman. We do this at 4+.
We all know people need to move and the Army is probably the worst for it but to process it you need to talk about what you did, get contact stuff like an address and say your goodbyes.
It leaves you with issues around losing people which leads into fear of forming new relationships which I can understand because for other reasons I went though it and yes you certainly have my understanding.
It may be for you a component of the wholes littles thing.

Great page as always <3
That small irl anecdote at the end hit me hard. I know how it feels, moving places constantly and being unable to say goodbye when jumping states. Not just moving towns or states, also schools too. Each time I moved from school to school when growing up, the more difficult it got when making new friends or relations. Thankfully we settled in one place for once and I finally got to rebuild those skills, but I still feel those emotions when moving. ^^ Never knew that I would relate to a single comic page lots, great job!

It's not that the brown is "bad", there is nothing wrong with Star having brown hair. It's just that A) Star has colourful hair in literally every other piece of art, and B) the brown hair is a constant reminder that she's being blackmailed by a sexual predator/abuser.
So it's a combination of "This isn't what Star normally looks like" and "This is something terrible that's been done to her". If that makes sense? She looks fine with the brown hair, I just don't like it for personal reasons.

Sorry to hear about that, but at least things worked out in the end. Even if what happened in Shine didn't happen to you, your story seems to be going... not perfectly, if the last thing you posted is any indication at least, but reasonably well.
You have a wonderful husband, you make fantastic art that is adored by many, you've introduced people to the world of ABDL in a way that makes it more than "that fetish thing" (speaking from experience on that, so thanks), those same people that love your work genuinely care about you and your well being, you have a coping mechanism that (while you may not be able to take part in it as much as you'd like) clearly helps you.
I don't say this to undermine your struggles or your problems, but to highlight that despite how bad it gets, you do have lots of good things in your life, probably tons more that I either don't know about or totally forgot.

Life is tough, so I'm glad to know that you're working things out.
And it was mentioned in your update piece the other day, but don't be afraid to take a few days off to just be little. We won't begrudge you some time if you need to "reset". Your mental health is more important than a comic.

My dad was serving in the army, he then got married and had 4 kids and basically whenever he was posted somewhere new, the family would also go wherever he was, so whilst I wasnt in the army in terms of serving, I was in the army in terms of living on base going to army run schools and generally being part of the system
eh you're a pure bean and we live in the virtual world, you can be whatever you picture yourself as here xP
If anything though it should be sort of encouraging to others to have your troubles come out like this, because you still are on the road to recovery; people take time to heal. People are so enraptured by the breakneck pace of the world these days that they expect to get over things in no time at all, but that's just not realistic, especially for deeper scars; people get too hard on themselves when they feel they aren't "progressing" fast enough. Wounds take time and treatment to heal. Sometimes that road is a long one, but all you can do is follow it, and with time and care for yourself, things will start to come together some day.

Bastille day is indeed a french holiday, but being the UK we have pretty close ties to France including a lot of the monarchy over the centuries had French ties and I think at one point we had a king....Henry 6th? Who was actually king of France AND England. We have a lot of different races/religions and Ethnicities in the UK so just because its not a british celebration day doesnt mean we dont celebrate it I mean from London you can get to France in like...an hour or two so it's really not far away at all
Because it gives them time to start processing what is happening and dealing with it in some fashion. Sure the child is going to be upset, but at least they would have the ability to ask questions and talk about why it’s happening.
Just moving without telling the child can be pretty traumatic both emotionally and psychologically for someone at such a young age.

Agreed, it's actually really important to include children in these decisions even if the child doesn't have a choice in the matter. It can create a lot of trauma and (like was mentioned) can cause a child to actually have problems later on creating new relationships. It also breaks a lot of the parent/child trust to do this to a child, children are very sensitive and they are able to process through things with the right guidance and support from their parents/caregivers and just because conversations are difficult doesnt mean those conversations shouldn't be had. What if a close family member dies? Same thing applies, you wouldn't just never talk about it with the child and those conversations can be really hard but they are important.
Yes. By 6 a child starts really developing socially and peer connections become very important. This is also a time when morality starts forming and the idea of "if you do good, you get rewards and if you do bad, you get punished" solidifies in their heads. Yanking them away suddenly can cause distress and may cause the child to believe they had done some great wrong to be punished like this.
I'm not saying to tell them weeks in advance. But at least the day of! That was just cruel to do. And yes, the child would be upset. But I think an older child or even an adult would be too. But at least they would get a chance to express themselves and say goodbye, perhaps even getting parents involved to get a mailing address or something.

Below 6 can vary a ton in how well they'd adapt and understand things. Kids at that age are pretty rapidly growing and shifting. They also are not as strongly depending on friends so that may have been a more appropriate move at the time for you.
There's also a matter of individual situations and such, of course. Each situation is different.

This is very rough,
Saying "I'm sorry for you" won't do much, but i feel like this story should be shared a lot.
Like outside of our (not so )private club of big baby.
People need to realise how much it can hurt a kid, create permanent mistrust and fear ... so that when they get kid's, they don't do stuff like that.
With the number of time you made me want to comfort/hug you... if we ever meet someday (which is unlikely but still), i will have such a huge stock of hug I might never release you :°

We all have stories like that I feel I remember back in the beginning of fifth grade a kid named Ivan he said how he was lonely and I figured hey I'll be his friend forever and I'll never leave him and I was so excited then a week later I just suddenly had to change schools because too many and I just felt bad for him. Or the time when my friend Edgar moved. To me personally they feel like mallots to the face but who knows in the future you might see them again. Also one last thing to Molly whom I doubt is in this corner of the internet but nonetheless if you're out there I miss ya bud
The sad thing is this actually happened to me in school. My best friend Abi just didn’t turn up at school one day and we knew each other from the day I was born as our mums met in hospital. It wrecked me. I was utterly devastated.
Worst part is she told no one, not even my mum and my mum was furious.

I didn't go through all the comments, but first time for blonde hair in a much younger Star. Next, we need to add the 'purple pink!'
Sammy, did you see the response to the Journal you posted the other day?
Please, for your own sake and because I care about you, follow my advice.

Oooof. Working so hard to make something special when you're a kid, and then not getting to see the final prodcut... That's... Jeez. I don't mean to talk ill of your parents, but that's pretty effed up to leave, not only on the day of that big celebration, but DURING it. Like... wtf... I can see why that would hit so hard, especially never getting to say goodbye to a close friend :/
My dad was military, and we moved about every 2-3 years when I was a kid (early 80's-mid 90's). However, my parents NEVER pulled the old "Surprise! We're Moving!" bit on me. I always knew we would be moving soon, even if I didn't know exactly when.
But, holy crap! Not telling your kids that you're moving away until the last minute?! That's the biggest Dick Move I've seen since the Lorena Bobbitt incident!

Thats great to hear.
I picked up this comic up years ago and think i did the typical thing of first finding this community and backed away thinking i was doing something wrong. However i recently wanted to come back to it as i never got it out of my head and thought F it.
Ive loved every panel and page. Along with Found (which i cried at the end) you're work is amazing and to hear that its helping with things in your past...amazing!
I really want to thank you for putting such great stories out there.
