aww poor gem he be good to you

awwss.Paul is an awesome guy Gem,trust him =)

He may have lied on one insistence but he is a caring guy

Trust him Gem! he truely loves you!

Likewise...

Same here

AGH..
All my feels Gem.. all of them..

I can relate to this page..

I was once like this before Sila
It has taken Sila the last 2 years to finally break me of my paranoia that she will leave me and desert me like the others..
and even still today I have panic attacks thinking something will happen...

But even now.. now with friends and caretakers like a mommy or daddy
I can't trust anyone anymore... I can no longer trust anyone to be my mommy or daddy because of all the let down..

I have come to accept that Bobkitty will forever be a lil orphan.. and just freelances around hoping somebody will offer a friendly hug and not hurt him =(

You have done soo well with this comic Gem, thank you for doing this ^_^

*hugs* it's difficult isn't it. don't ever give up hope though. time does heal things albeit slowly

you know bobkitty you always have a friend in me..

Thank you <3
It's hard now a days for me to trust anyone
with people changing and leaving the community
and now all the kids joining the community
I some how lose interest and hide away from everyone =P

GO! TRUST HIIIM! TRUST HIM YOU NUTJOB!

I think throughout life, every single person asks this question. It's always a hard obstacle to overcome and after trust issues are misplaced, it makes it even harder. I am kinda going through that right now and I keep asking myself the same question. What if things just end up how they always do? But I guess with life, if something isn't worth fighting for then nothing ever will be. I guess this panel means a lot to me because it's what I am literally going through, it's nice not to feel so alone in the world ^_^

Keep up the good work sis *Big fluffy hugs*

*hugs yoo quietly*

YES gem...trust him

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt...

*huggles Gemmy* there are never any easy answers

yay back to the juicy stuff! i can't wait! :D

Trust that blue lion he won't bite. ^^

I'm getting the impression that the story arc will be wrapped up soon, regardless of the outcome.

I don't want it to end, but yea. It would be a good option to end it off. But I still want to have a kind of ending with adult Zeezee and Rasile.

I've still got about 100 pages left of the overall project, mebbe a little bit more as i seem to be constantly underestimating how long each section is going to take :)

BBY HE LOVES YOO.

I would say go for it girl :)

Awwwwwwwwwwww... *hugs gem* it'll be OK ^^ I promise, plus our the main character, you'll be fine ^^

Paul is a good guy, trust him gem

poor Gem. you've been through so much heartbreak and disappointment. Paul is sincere and loves you for you so go get em tiger!

I do hope Gem chooses to be with Paul... but then there was that nightmare she had about him... I wonder what she's going to say.

I love how all the comments are like people watching a movie as if they yell at it it will change the outcome. "DO IT! DO IT!"

*giggles* I made the mistake back in the 170's pages where there was one page that I gave the watchers a 50/50 vote on the outcome. it had no impact on the plot so I thought it would be a fun little experiment. never again. the controversy and drama that page caused was a headache for days lol lol. I seriously learnt my lesson

If you ever read or follow the Batman comics, there was also that one time where they had readers phone in to decide if Robin lived or died... it sounds like a repeat of that event XD

sadly that little event didn't really turn out to be much at all when the other guy took over the batman comics and brought that Robin back (spoiler, he died in the comic) and made him the Red Hood... but I should say the Red Hood became one of my favorite villians

so much emotion and so well shown in those eyes

Yes yes Gem there is always hope

Gemma, take a chance on him! He is the one, but you will never get another chance like this in years.

I am loving this comic, Gem. :)

I know its your comic Gem, but I just see Gem saying "Paul, I feel... I mean, before... There's some things you should know about me..." Hehe, it hints that Gem might tell Paul why she is diapered, but moreso gives Gem a chance to explain her story to Paul [Skipping over what we just saw] So that Paul can understand some of Gems emotions....

Hehe, sorry but puppy just had to butt in :P

Awww, just tell him. I'm sure he'll understand. ^^

she's gonna say "ah crud....i gone and wet mah self." all in a heavy but cute british accent

such a powerful flashback I am truly moved by it

hope is powerful. If hope is crushed, we truely are left with nothing but despair. A feeling that nothing good will change our lives.

STR: Hope is the key ffrom good and evil; win or loss. It's a powerful thing that truely can decide the victor.

Esti: Hope is like a cuddle. You cant go on without it. It brings a happier day; adds an extra smile; and creates more love to anyone.

There's some really troubled past...

Hope is fleeting, but it always finds a way to spark back to life.

As my writing partner always tells me, "life is hard, but it's worth suffering through." Frankly, I agree with him. If I didn't take a chances in life then I'd never experience what great happiness that I have now and have had in the past. No matter what happened in both of our lives, the Good was always worth facing all the Bad in our lives. I guess, that Hope is like a Diamond in that sense.

Tell Paul,he'll understand.

Wow! This and the last few pages are arguably the most powerful pages of the whole comic because it really helps defines her background and why she has trouble with making friends and getting involved in relationships.

I must say she can and should trust Paul because he would get great for her but that is my opinion because it could really help her but she defiantly has one depressing past so I really feel sorry for gem.

I say go for it and trust Paul... I really like him, way more than those other bastard kids who threw ya down a well!!! Sooo... KISS HIM ALREADY!!! LOL

(btw off topic, this comment I typed is the very first thing I typed using my new XBox controller keypad... squee)

Come to think of it, what kind of expression is Gem probably wearing in the real world? I imagine it looks something like the "thousand yard stare" right now.



I wonder if Paul's freaking out about Gem's unresponsiveness?

"Love does exist."
"Whatever happened to you in your life, you can't let your past dictate your future."

Don't let Paul have gotten his mane and tail all soaked for nothing :p

Of course there's no reason why she can't ask for more time to decide. It's not really fair for him to demand an answer right now if her feelings are mixed -- not because of him, but because of her past. Why not "let's keep going out for lunch and dinner, only maybe we should avoid the alcohol, and see what happens?"

Anyway, the index is updated, and I'm anxious to see what happens myself. The way this page is laid out works well for its being all introspection, just Gemma thinking to herself. No lines, no panels, just words and pictures from present and past.

Trust Paul. He's your friend after all.

Paul might be clumsy at times ... but he's one good soul. I think Gem could not wish for a better guy than him.

woah this made me shudder

Paul is not Nev.

Much is the pity...

Enjoying the tale and your artwork and story telling is astounding!

Thanks for sharing!

Paul is standing by a rather menacing looking pond http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9124164 >.>

Yeah? So what!? <.<

She reminds me a bit of a character named Geo from the Megaman Star Force games. The reason being because after his father went missing while on a space mission, Geo became afraid to go to school, make friends or get close to others because he was afraid that if he did meet people and came to care about them that he would end up losing them as well. But after meeting a girl named Sonia (the character my username is based on), he got the courage to allow himself to become close to others, make friends, and even go to school again. Right now, Gemma reminds me of Geo because she had made friends in the orphanage as a child only to watch them be adopted and never see them again, so she became afraid to even try anymore. Not just that, but she's met someone who really cares about her, and she wants to care about him too, but she's afraid of what might happen if she does. Hopefully that makes sense.

so many comments o_o not even sure if mine will be read, but here goes! Gemma, the story you have going is AMAZING totally first rate. Most of the time when I get on here now, the first thing I check for in my new posts submissions is the next page. I know you only wanted this to be a short comic, but it seems you can't help but get engrossed in the story. Perhaps you should write some too, since both of those skills of yours seem to be top-notch! Can't wait to see where it goes, and thank you for the wonderful story you're slowly writing here :D

*hugs* I always read all my comments I dont nesscarily get chance to respond to everyone but i do honestly read everyfing *hugs* I do actually write stories too although none of them are furry related (most are age regression or AB stories) so I dont post my stories here, although once ive finished drawing found I have an AB related sci fi novel im very close to finishing that I abandonned, Im thinking about ressurecting it turning it into furry and turning it into a new comic. So should be good

Alot of us like paul but all of us want you happy some times you need to take a chance for love.
.

I tested up when she starts saying "what if he is just like everyone else? What if he isn't?"

I know what it like to not trust someone.... Or people in general.... :(

*d'oh!! That was supposed to say "teared up" not tested.... >_> oopsies...!! XD

this comic has such a great story. I am loving it, and you tell that story very well

So I'm weird. I favorite things for a reason... I don't favorite ALL of your Found pages because I like them all and it's hard to pick a favorite, if that makes sense. I like to reserve the "favorite" status for something that moves me.

+Favorite

Keep up the awesome work Gem. :)

Nice, though ya might need to connect this page to the newest one sweetie.

I could trust Paul above all. I know her dark past must have built a lot of pressure on her. She had no power to make decisions and she must protest.

That's got to be tough, growing up in foster homes or an orphanage. I was lucky that I was a direct transfer, birth mother to adoptive mother.

be honest with Paul gem
