damn it Star

i'm going guess this her is a boy

is Martin into dude?

Or we're going for the widow trope. Would explain the ring on a necklace.

yikes never thought of that

then again Star likes going dark on us

What's the window trope?

widow trope: means his partner passed away

*widow
Essentially it means his spouse died, they never legitimately broke up but one is just physically not there anymore so things are complicated

These jokes are best said among close friends in private.

thats what i was thinking

that was my first thought could be both though

Yep, he's in a relationship with Jesus, and that's his promise ring. No kissing until he's married ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

.....

I'm not religious

I'm not either, it was a joke :p

oh

Shhhhhh dont tell!

XD

Fuck religion.

Agreed lol

naw its not worth fucking lol

You know what I meant! XD

What's wrong with social work? Donating to society? Or are you talking about the Creationism cult?

Pretty much everyone who beats people down with any religious work of their religion deserve to just go. Preachers who say harmful things because the bible says so are the same people who spread unneeded hatred.

Luckily, said people often buy the Creationist garbage, so they're easy enough to spot. It stems from the idea that Evil has no rights, but it has a side effect that people sometimes see those who do evil in their eyes as people who have no rights. The Christian needs to recognize that the chain of command goes God, then the believer, then no one else. Unless they work in law, military, or have some sort of government authority, they need to mind their business. The Message has been delivered, hang out the Mission Accomplished banners.

Those who are not those asses are okay by my book.

Im religious but I'd never push that on anyone, it's your life not mine.

What's wrong with creationism? It's not too different from being a little to take comfort in being loved by a heavenly Father, is it?

Creationism makes demonstrably false claims about the earth. It's age, for example. And all for protecting a literal, infallible interpretation of the bible. But if one cannot be trusted to report the truth about something we can indeed check, how can anyone think such a person has anything to say about the afterlife? But thankfully, there are far more in depth understandings of Christianity that denounce Creationism as a man made cult. So there's actually no problem between science and religion, at least as far as the common understanding of the conflict between them goes. And answering the question of whether miracles happen or not is one that humans don't need to worry about answering right now.

Lol

Interesting :3. Took an odd defensive/aggressive turn in the 5th panel. Curious to see how it continues ^_^

The more I see of him the more I like Martin. I can't wait to find out what he has to tell Star.

Hmmm. I think that a certain kitten should stop talking and listen to what Martin has to say.

Yes; and me too.

oh no Star would you just listen to what Martin has to say?
it could be really important.

Amazing work, as always!! <3 I love this comic

THESE LAST 2 PAGES THEY ARE TUGGING AT MY HEART (amazing comic star I hope you continue your work its amazing)

I don't think, it is a She.
And when he say this.

Why would he be bisexual if he represents her actual irl husband

cuz her husband could be bi? do we know for sure hes not?

Im so excited to hear what he has to say!!

The artist’s cliffhanger skill are improving more and more

Wait.... dont tell me his together with a mommy and tha they like taking care of littles together

Oh come on star, don't leave on a bad note. Remember what situation yer in and what he's doing for you!

Blunt as always, Bryce. $5 says he's polyamorous.

Okay I know it's not the point of this page but... mannnnn theres something about the lighting in this page I really like.

*Frustrated noises continue and the neighbours have phoned the police*

Can't wait for more. I'm loving Martin and Star's relationship

I have toatally fibbed like that after an okward situation.

I cant wait for his explanation

Damn, well this just made the whole affair feel so real.
Perfect hook-ups are near non-existent and a lot of the time, guys/gals/thems with great structure in their life, good confidence and nice personality, are usually unavailable in one way or another :P

"I work in intelligence".
And yet, she's not aware of the "military intelligence" oxymoron.
Silly, silly kitten. X3

Oof yeah I mean,,,there's some embarrassment but it doesn't have to be humiliating for someone to simply be interested in another so I hope Star doesn't get TOO worked up.

But also Martin, pal, she ain't gonna take a whole bag of MORE diapers and other kid stuff. Better give it to this mystery lover

Maybe has some aftercare in there is very important to do aftercare when doing heavy kinky stuff or any type of sexual intercourse is not a bad idea to have yourself set with an aftercare kit something to bring you back from the emotions if you're into bondage some cream is always nice and water and a cookie because is energy consuming this things so you better have some kind of snack

I suppose, but we've seen that Star typically doesn't enjoy having baby stuff apeund her house in case it gets found out and it would be most likely seen as too forward by Martin if he were to assume that Star is open about her life and to hand her somehting like that when they've barely talked about or even done that level of age play or kink together.

It is true! What do you think it has in it? Particularly.

Well Martin told Star in the previous pages that it has diapers and drawing stuff, all of which she might wanna not keep since she can't lie to her roommate about them.

Yes but there was a special thing in there

Special thing? All Martin has said is diapers and colouring stuff from what I've seen tbh

Great stuff when is the stream of your first and unkink account

Can we talk about aftercare in any of the kink scenarios even in vanilla sex you should totally have an aftercare kit prepared. This should be things that you have to have with you at all times if you are doing any sexual activities.
1. A cookie or snack, you can be very exhausted and the cookie or snack with sugar helps bring you back
2. Water, like when you are exercising you should have water with you same as number 1
3. Something to calm you down bring you back to your regular self could be a Binky some dices or a toy
4. Cream for burns and vitamin A, we all have sometimes do heavy kink stuff that's why is so important the aftercare have some good quality cream on you to apply where the bondage was or where you are hurt.

Remember this is very important and it will make your life easier anyone reading can agree that this is somewhat important try and have this anytime you are doing grown up stuff and a good condom but that is not aftercare so have this at all times with you when you think you could get some.

True, though aftercare needs (for both sides of the slash) can vary from person to person or even play time to play time including not needing aftercare.

Hoping that he's poly and he's just trying to be upfront about it, but that's probably not the case </3

That was my thought.

Or he and his partner are going to both be parental types who'd be happy to care for a cute baby lynx.

Yeah I think truthfully if he hadnt just helped her out a bunch and been nothing but a gentleman to her, he would have suddenly found himself flipped upside down a bit :D

Star your spraling stop it and I think how it’s really wholesome of what’s Matt doing since what happened to his partner

*cough*

there's a reason he wears the ring on a necklace.

I looked it up and that just means its a promise ring and apparently doesn't necessarily mean his wife's dead. I've seen it can be also used as a proposal gesture.

I was seriously thrown off for a few moments, the car is obvious a EU modle, like the story told in the UK (I'm assuming); but my dumb american self was wondering why both had switch car spots for a full 10 mins. XD

Star in the first panel:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=3U3WOmfNuH8

I kinda have the feeling this story is going into the direction of "I have a significant other, but we wanna adopt you as our little" Im getting a little bit of that vibe.

Star seems to be thinking that this girl Martin is with is an obstacle to their friendship. She still has yet to meet her and I'm sure she'll be just as nice.

I think Star is going to be in for a shock or three in the next two pages.

Drama Queen.

Please be polyyy

uh-oh drama, star might come down with trauma (please don't judge me for rhyming please)

I’m guessing the relationship that Martin is in is of the remembrance relationship. His bf/gf was tragically taken from him. He’s had a hard time getting over the loss of the person and wasn’t willing or ready to seek a new relationship in fear of replacing the one that he had and continues to treasure.

cant breath XC this is a critical hit in the feelings watching this.

Oh dear god PLEASE don't let this end in heartbreak.. I want them to be happy together.

This whole story has been a big emotional rollercoaster, and I'm just hoping that it'll have a happy end when the ride is over. Your work is amazing, and I'm legit on the edge of shedding tears sometimes when I read some of the sadder pages.

Plot twist he and his partner want to watch over star and her friends to gain access to the military base wha ha ha ha I digress truthfully I hope for adlest 4 panels to explain. Also I'm surprised he was up front from the start about stuff or after some time after the littles party he talked about having star in there lives somehow???

You'll be in for a shock when ya realize stars comics have a tendency to take sudden dark turns. Many here speculate and the most likely reason. Is cause his wife is dead. And he's a widower

Sorry if I'm annoying anybody by posting 3 comments in a row on here, it's just that this page legit has me on the edge of tears and I'm desperately hoping that Star and Martin will be able to be happy together and actually talk about this peacefully and not have it end in heartbreak for both of them. The shipper in me desperately doesn't want this ship to sink.

Star, just be quiet and listen daddy Martin! I'm sure you'll be really surprise.

Gosh Star, shut up for two seconds and let the man speak! XD

Star with the big Harley Quinn season 2 energy in the first panel :P

just let him take the black mail public

Either a Martin WAS in a relationship, or he is in a poly relationship. Those are the two possibilities I see.

I'm going to go with he's either in a relationship current that's poly, or he used to be in a relationship, or he's gay, Oooooorrrrr, he's in a dom/sub relationship that doesn't mean he can't be with Star, but he has to clear it with his Dom and/or Sub? The ring on the necklace could be a deceased partner, or it could mean he's like a dom to multiple or part of some kind of poly group?

Oof, big NiceGuy™ vibes from Star in that last panel.

OwO i think the situation is complicated

Usually when someone wears a ring around their neck it is because their husband/wife passed away... Or just cause you don't like wearing it on your finger

Oh Star, you're so naive. Relationships aren't always monogamous, and BDSM relationships aren't always conflated with romantic relationships anyway. Get the full story before you run away!

Maybe he is bisexual just maybe

Awww star 😢

Ahhh. I think i get it. Hes probably in a marriage but getting a divorce. And he has moral codes/Beliefs that make him unable to be in any other relationship until the divorce and such are finalized. Thats my prediction anyway

Wow. My theory is the most different but knowing star and reading all the comments. I highly doubt Martin is In a Poly-relationship, if that were the case he would've either talked about them or at the very least we would've had it hinted at previously. And the only thing "hinted" has been a necklace ring. Which usually means, deceased partner.
Edit:
What I WILL say is wtf was Martin thinking? Star getting the wrong idea, she fell for you. Obvious she's been falling for you and you hadn't warned her. She finally falls deep enough to kiss you and you scream no at her and THEN say your in a relationship??? Do you not see how that can be misunderstood really easily? And she already felt embarrassed about the kiss??? Ya really think she'd be willing to listen to what ya had to say? She feels humiliated and heart broken. Chances are if he hadn't stopped her she would've locked the doors and cried, watching a soap Oprah, eating ice cream.

If he's anything like me, he didn't realize at all just how into him she was or overworried about how to handle it.

Damn it star stop running away

uh oh

Ohunh I also peck my friends on the cheek as a greeting

Yeah I think he is in dudes

Just let Daddy speak and make things a better-ish... I'm sure once Martin says what they wanna say things will be more hopeful.

Maybe Martin is gay.

Is he gay?
