Eeee!! Is it bad that bits like this make me squirm and make my heart melt?
its a sweet moment but that face manda is making in the last pannel feels like shes about t say
"now get on the floor little girl" and go super dommy mommy
"now get on the floor little girl" and go super dommy mommy
Hug junkie, huh? Well in that case, have a mermaid squish. *Hugs super tight*
Hug junkie? Hopefully this isn't something that requires rehab. :P
This is another great page of characterization that really shows how well your writing is. Star being hesitant to explain why she left the room. Manda feeling terrible about how she was unable to protect Star to the point that she feels a little hurt that star did not come to her. This is why I love your comics
That is the kind of relationship I want to have with someone, so much trust and love in it
Warms my...heart?
Warms my...heart?
"I am such a hug junkie" DUUUDE, SAAAME!!! I just feel like crawling in a little ball of depression and despair if I so much as go a day without hugs!
On another note, I'm glad this finally got resolved between Star and Manda. It's nice to have closure.

Well technically manda didn’t know anything at the start so it’s not her fault
Manda feels responsible for Star like a second mother. Very ironic that she has known Marrelis for long and turns out to be bad, while knowing Star for a short time is the exact opposite.
That thought: "And I didn't know if our friendship outweighed the friendship you had with Marellis."
Super mood and grounding besides. As outside observers who can see Star's thoughts, imagination, and literal dreams, we readers have gotten a feel for her and might project those feelings onto the rest of the cast.
But it is sadly quite possible that an otherwise good person could be entrenched in a relationship, blind to the actions of someone who is frankly dangerous and bad for others. It can be seen all the time in real life. "But they never did anything to ME, so why should I believe this accusation?"
That line in the context of your story, (both Shine and what you've shared about yourself) perfectly encapsulates this fear and this sadly too real experience.
Brava.

I thought about leaving that thought bubble out. I felt the bubble sorta...tainted the page a bit or gave a sort of bittersweet feeling to the sentiments being shared. I didnt want people to think Star was being suspicious of Manda, but I also felt it would be wrong to leave that bubble out because thats genuinely how Star's head works because that's how my head would work in that situation.
I don't think it taints the page. As a reader, I kinda "know" that Manda's a good egg and whatnot. It's okay for Star to not know that though. From her point of view, she's known Manda for like what...two weeks?
Plus the immediate next panel is an immediate counter to that feeling of insecurity. So it doesn't read as 'tainted' to me. It reads as Star is starting up an argument with herself, and Manda counters that argument and shuts it down, even if she doesn't have psychic powers to know that it's happening.
It reads as just Star being honest with herself about her own insecurities, and Manda showing that those insecurities weren't needed. It's good.

This is a case where putting in the thought helps. It's acknowledging part of reality, that even if the newcomer is really cute and a good person and you really would like to help her join the community, maybe your existing relationships could come under threat and they aren't on the negotiating table, or there is an arrangement already of some sort. It's completely natural, even as a secure and grown adult, to worry that your new friends won't value you unless you've been there for some period of time and had opportunities to make yourself valuable. I've had problems with Shine messaging-wise, but this is something that a lot of kinksters (mostly ones who've been in it less than 5 years) can relate to and can use a model for: how much support can / should you expect from a new friend?
Oh my gosh... After the week I've had, I wish I was in Star’s situation. Such a beautiful page.
So you get up at like 3:00 PST and post these? I'm wondering what your physician says about how much sleep you get.
Edit: Your health as well.
Edit: Your health as well.
errr..I live in the UK so it was like...9-10AM..ish my time
People live in many different countries and keep many different sleep schedules, I myself work an overnight job. Why would you assume somebody "gets up" at 3 your time to post this? Even if she was an American, that still puts it at 7am EST, considered a "normal person" wakeup time
I am assuming this because I did not know where she is located... until now.
I first thought that Manda is happy on the last panel, and then I noticed it isn't smile, but Star's hair 😅
Well there’s no way of me saying this without sounding like an ass...but I thought I missed a page because there was no transition shot from the last page to now.
I guess Star and Manda teleported

I assumed people would be clever enough after reading that first panel to put two and two together to suggest that Star had left the room. Ive already had her fleeing the nursery in one panel in a previous page a few pages ago so it felt oddly redundant to have her doing the same thing again
I get that but It was just a bit jarring that the last panel was “New Kink Acquired” to suddenly outside the nursery which made me check if I skipped a page
Omg just make a 60s batman-style transition and slap that in every time xD
Hugs are a great form of medicine. It can heal things that other synthetic crap cannot.
This is one of my fav pages at this point. Right here is for me why friendship is so important I get to nurture and worry about my friends. Wholesomeness is also one of the big parts about being a MD that drives me to do it, not the kink. In a sense you could say Wholesomeness/slice of life stuff is my kink.
Yeah not gonna lie. Kink stuff is fun but just everyday normal mundane stuff whilst being accepted as being a little is like the peak of my happiness levels, like it makes you feel super valid and normal and I love that stuff!
Same when I am in little space which is 99% of the time it means the world to me when my partner and friends are accepting of me. When I get to do that for others mostly my little it fills my heart to know they are feeling safe, happy, and content with everything in those moments. Even when I befriend other littles I like to show them its a safe place, and they can be themselves free of harsh words and scary on lookers.
Your character interactions always feel so real, especially on sweet moments like this, very well done.
"And didn't know if our friendship outweighed the friendship you had with Marellis" Oof, that one hits me deep
that is so touching... this is true friendship regardless of long friendships if someone does someone else wrong you stand up for the person wronged.
This is one of the best pages in the entire series so far. So much love <3
Here a interesting idea what if the hipness she underwent to talk like a baby suddenly pops up with a keyword was said that nobody knew didn’t get removed by accident?
I feel this page so much. The memories that are both good and bad. Trying to talk to people while not wanting to hurt them. Having half a conversation out loud but not being able to voice the other half. Damn.
The jist of shine and found, baby mode, adult mode, baby mode, adult mode. quite literally with found. we go to baby mode now
I feel like I've said this every other page but.... I need to meet a 'Manda'!
I think the brown hair with little braids is growing on me , it's a cute look for star.
Right, now that you're okay with it, it's time to change it LOL
It's nice to see a moment this wholesome after the last few chapters being so intense.
I like this page. (Not as funny as the last one but still XD)
I hope Manda can realize that Star really did enjoy herself. The good outweighed the bad and that's always good!

Yeah.
YEAH. This is my favorite page now.
Manda's a good lady, and the "wipe your bottom" line made me snicker

Never thought a page of Shine could be THIS wholesome!
I just found this comic today, read it all, and man, it’s so cute. The blackmail thing gave me some serious knots in my stomach and a few flashbacks to an ex, but I’m really happy about how they resolved it. I will definitely keep up with this, just because it makes me feel warm and happy on the inside..
and I think I just got that “new kink acquired” pop up...
