Wait. If there’s a chance Spooky can be with Anaado again, does that mean that Velliok just told us that Spooky’s friend is still…?

We’re now at $6,171/month on our Patreon page — only $20 away from where we were before the monthly changeover, less than $850/month away from me breaking even again, and just $330 away from unlocking the sexy and fully nude pin-up of Kyle and Anaado by Travis Moore!

So, I’d like to send out a very special thank you and welcome to all our new Patrons this week!

Inidis, Edward B., Erik B., Jeffrey E., Cabot I., Cotina S., Gabrielle S., and Hotaru T.

And I’d also like to thank the three totally awesome folks who were already Patrons, but who upped their pledge this week:

joancotilla, KendallPB, and Bruno C.

(Thank you, Joan, Kendall, and Bruno!)

Thank you all so much for helping to start get things back on track. The Young Protectors is my full-time job. The only way I’m able to pay our artists (and, y’know, eat and pay rent) is due to the incredibly generous and consistent support of readers like you through Patreon. You’re all the real superheroes!

(Want to make sure this comic continues? Would you like to have access to special benefits like extra-sexy pages and behind-the-scenes scripts and art? Please take a look at my Patreon page and consider supporting this comic through Patreon!)

So! Spooky’s ready to end Velliok once and for all. But is that even possible? And is his ancient enemy going to make him a better offer? And if Velliok does make him an offer — should Spooky take it?

Tune in this Wednesday to find out! Hope to see you there! 😀

Plot twist: killing him will release Anaado! (I can hope.)

That sounds suspiciously too easy, though…!

Maybe that is exactly why Velliok tries to hide that option.

release him to where? Certainly not to earth, and I don’t imagine many places in Hell are friendly to traitors

Actually, if he is a traitor in hell, I think we can pretty confidently place him in the middle of a great frozen lake, being chewed up by Lucifer himself in pure darkness

I dunno……arsehole is already a card carrying resident of Hadies…….therefore not “alive”…..so “killing” some “THING” that is undead……might be a touch tough

It’s not actually a form of afterlife in this universe, though, so Velliok is effectively just an inhabitant of that parallel dimension, mostly as much “alive” as any human on Earth!

I guess I misinterpreted the whole “Demon” chapter then.

At least as far as I’ve understood it so far, in this world humans have embedded their pre-separation experiences with demons from the hell dimensions and the more sporadic encounters since then into their myths, but those myths may not actually be entirely correct…

eeeekkk! Too deep, drowning in consciousness!

This seems like Velliok’s second attempt at the same goal: to recapture Spooky, heart, body, and soul. It seems highly unlikely that Spooky should trust anything Velliok says.

Even this “shard” business could be a lie. Perhaps destroying this part of Velliok would be like losing a toenail, painful at first, but it would grow back. Or maybe all of Velliok is vulnerable to, say, a swarm of magical flesh-eating nanobots even if there’s just a shard of him in Spooky’s mind.

I doubt Velliok’s death would make Anaado’s situation any worse than it already is. Even listening to Velliok seems dangerous. But Spooky knows Velliok and I don’t. Maybe Spooky knows a way to tell if he’s ever telling the truth.

You’re probably right, but not knowing where Anaado even is makes a rescue difficult!

Really nice speculation, David. Fun for me to read. 🙂

Psssh, Velliok,like you’re so unique. There are other demons Spooks can interrogate.

I wouldn’t trust him! But Spooky may feel he has no choice!

Spooky, don’t.

It’s a spark of hope but atm we have no way to say if he’s just bluffing and playing for time ;___;

Options: Velliok is telling the truth and Anaado is alive, and although Velliok will try to trick Spooky, Spooky will outwit him and win back Anaado. Velliok may or may not be lying about Anaado being alive, but Spooky will not be able to win back Anaado (possibly, ‘this time’). Something completely out of left field that earns the dreadful title ‘The Death Of Spooky Jones’.

Remember — “Spooky Jones” is the name he gave himself when he made it back from hell years ago, after he first met Amanda. She said then that he didn’t think he would ever or could ever remember his name.

What if through this, Spooky learns his real name and that his real name has some way been kept by Anaado, almost as a talisman, which has kept Anaado alive all this time?!?

When and if he learns his real name, that would be the “Death of Spooky Jones.” And could be the way to be reunited with Anaado, even if it was the last thing Anaado could do for Spooky. Lots of emotional drama if that was the case.

Unless — UNLESS — Alex can do a phoenix scenario of death and rebirth for both Anaado and Spooky.

That’s a lot of thinking for one Saturday morning!!!! Tune in next time!

OK. For the last time. Stop! Schrodinger’s cat has died so many times he is invulnerable and has made my brain explode repeatedly to the point of forming calluses. WAY too many possibilities you have given or have thought of that may be in that evil mind of Alex!

I’ve been hoping all along that the “death” would be remembering his original identity, yes.

All good thinking, though, Ulysses. 🙂

Nicely laid out, Saxon. 🙂

Thwarted? Don’t listen to him Spooks. It’s a tarp.

PS– Stab him again.

Ha!

But if Velliok’s essence (it certainly can’t be a soul, since he’s a demon and a piece of shit to boot) is hanging out in Spooky’s mind, can’t he not simply dismantle it (painfully, I hope) until he can access that information to a) determine its veracity and b) use it without having to deal with Velliok’s pugnaciousness? Take advantage of this Inception scenario Spooks, just like this demon tried to with you!

Good idea, but it sounds pretty advanced; Maybe too advanced for Spooky’s current knowledge!

That’s some good thinking there, fujoshifanatic. I wonder what Spooky would say if he could hear you?

To rephrase as little, but this smell six ways from sunday. Yup, another attempt on a trap. This mind fight is still going strong.

It could be the use of of angles, and this is totally nothing, but I noticed that all the happy people in Spooky’s imaginative Waterworld went *poof* as Velliok started taunting Spooky, about Anaado’s pain and torture.
The whole ‘mood’ on the last two pages of ‘Spooky’s mind’ has (logically) been a lot more omnious, angry and creepy. I wonder if another angle will bring people back, or if the surroundings will look even more hell-ish as their talk progresses.

I’m not sure who should be most worried about the surroundings possibly changing to something darker again, Spooky or Velliok? Guess it depends on whether it reflects Spooky’s mood, or Velliok slowly gaining more mind power, as Spooky loses emotional control.

Good observations and good questions, Danish. 🙂

How can you tell when Velliok is lying? His lips are moving, he’s writing, he’s using sign language, etc.

u r wise.

Hopefully this will work…(eh sorta. Link to pic.)

But, why Aliens guy?

why not?

LMBO!

Don’t cross the memes.

Ha!

I’m confused…is he really using Kyle’s body or is it all in Spooky’s head? Because if he’s really in Kyle’s body why is Spooky not wanting to punish Velliok for Anaado AND Kyle? Why is there no freaking out and worrying for Kyle at least a little bit?

Sorry, even after all the revelations I just still feel really bad for Kyle.

It’s all in his head. Kyle is probably still sleeping after all that bedroom action.

Velliok was never in Kyle’s body. He is in Spooky’s mind.

Thanks for the clarification!

So an offer from Velliok? Uh, that’s like a political promise right? The short answer? “no”.

……………………………heck.
I’m pretty sure, if this is just a “shard” of Velliok’s essence, that he’s just trying the same tactic again because he doesn’t have the brain(?) to do anything else, and therefore it’s a lie. But I don’t knooooowww and I’m worried agaiiiinnnnn DDD:

Oh shut up, you Ethan Rayne wannabe!

The thing is: does he actually have anything to bargain with, or is this just typical villainous villaining?

And thank you, Jason, for sending me to the Buffy wiki to look up Ethan Rayne! 🙂

No rest for the wiki-ed. 🙂

Ha!

Ooo! Ooo! The obvious Spooky comeback suddenly occurred to me:

“You’re assuming that I won’t be killing you by slowly taking your mind and soul apart piece by piece as I search for the information I want. I can do subtle, you know. And if by some chance you’ve kept the details of Anaado’s whereabouts away from this particular instantation of yourself, well, you wouldn’t have been able to give me those details if we’d been bargaining anyway.”

Nice. I like it.

What is that thing on Spooky’s cap… is that another Spooky? Then, does that mean there’s also a Spooky on the cap of Spooky’s cap Spooky?

I own one – – http://store.yaoi911.com/the-spooky-cap/

Yup. We haven’t seen that side in the comic, but was told outside of comics, in the early comment and such. Spooky is kinda famous, as in outside of TYP he saves/help people on his own + he’s been on tv. There’s merch with him in TYP-verse (and for us readers too).

On Patreon there’s a prose short-story that gives a little insight, to why this partiular cap means so much to Spooky.

Another look. http://webcomics.yaoi911.com/typ/ete-int1-page-4/

Yes, Velliok is hinting that Anaado is alive. But even so, it is not impossible that he actually is alive.

If he does save Anaado…maybe Spooky, Kyle, and Anaado can come to an…agreement…and share Spooky? Heck, maybe Kyle will even come to love the other demon. Let’s hope real Anaado doesn’t share the hate of demon royals like fake Anaado did, or meeting Kyle will be pretty bad for him.

Hmmm. Well we know Velliok can’t b trusted. I don’t see how Anaado can possibly b rescued. Looking forward to Wednesday, Alex.

Glad to hear it, DG! 🙂

he is a rat

I find it very probable that Anaado is still alive – why kill him? It pays off to keep him alive. He is Spooky’s liability, doesn’t know anything that would hurt Veliok, and is not an escape artist. All bonuses, no threats.

Very good points, Vaira. 🙂

AS the famous alien from Star Wars said (and I can’t remember his name which tells you 1. how early it is and 2. how bad I feel), “IT’S A TRAP!”

Actually… no. Velliok didnt say that he is alive. Just “you will never find out how to be with him again”. I must really give him credit for such bureaucratical pearl, because the answer could be literally anything: up to “you would find out that its impossible”, and Velliok still be FORMALLY right.

Ok, here’s a crazy plan. Kill Veliock, or this shard of him or whatever. This will make him kill Anaado. But Anaado is a good person now so when he does he goes to heaven, and Kyle and Spooky go pick him up there. It’s perfect! xD

Too many assumption, I’m afraid. And Velliok didn’t seems to be the type, that kill hostages out of rage.

Hi everyone!

The New page is Up:
http://webcomics.yaoi911.com/typ2/legendary-ch3-page-60/

Hello Campers,
It’s two weeks until Christmas, which prompts the burning question – what are plans for the holidays. Will Spooky and Anaado be reunited? Can Spooky and Anaado even be reunited? Will Velliok and his ugly face get out of our lives?
Questions, all I got are questions…

With regards to the comic, there are too many possibilities and I’m too tired to try to sort through them all. In general: IIRC Alex has tended to write stories that ultimately have a happy ending, so I’m hopeful but by no means certain that Spooky will get Anaado back.

For real life: I will do my usual trip 500 km up the coast to stay at Goanna Manor (my sister’s place at the beach), doing summer things with the family.

I’ve been wondering when Spooky and Velliok part ways, does Spooky tell Kyle what happened or will he be silent about this intrusion and adventure?

As for real life — I don’t know yet.

The Spooky telling Kyle thing is a very good question. He does have a history of going off and doing whatever he thinks best and not necessarily telling anyone else. It could go either way.

I have a feeling that Spooky hides lots of stuff from everyone

I think you’re correct.

Since this all *appears* to be happening in Spooky’s mind, then it may be a way to resolve Anaado’s situation apart from his relationship with Kyle. He’s a multi-tasker it seems.

And he’s been a certified hero for some time now, so he has probably had to make hero-sacrifices of one kind or another in line with “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one (himself).”

Real life — spending time with my brother’s family probably.

That might be the case. I quit trying to second-guess Alex somewhere in the middle of Engaging the Enemy.

Second-guessing Alex is like playing Scrabble blindfolded with the board upside down. 😉

I’m not sure where this is going anymore…..I do hope that Velliok pays dearly…….as for Christmas…..on Christmas Eve I will be over at my Bro’s place to do gift exchange….then home alone (with the dog)
on Christmas Day.

I’m still in the planning and thinking of it all…
(Maybe like Harold Hill – think about it and you can play that instrument)

Whatever you decide….I hope it is peaceful and enjoyable. As for my plans…..this is the last of anything that resembles a family tradition. I am certain I will be relieved to get home.

Thanks and you have a good holiday, too

oops

As creepy as he is and as smart as Velliok thinks he is — here he’s so sure he’s dropping his big hairy-ass bombshell about Anaado on Spook. However, look at Spooky’s body language. My guess is he’s not surprised and has been waiting for some variation on this for pages. Lovely juxtaposition. Just smart character writing.

Thank you all again. Alex just wonderful character writing that stays out of all the typical ruts, but sits just right in this genre. Adam and Vero, my ubiquitous bravo for the staging. The relationship between Spooky’s vs Velliok’s positioning and posturing is interesting and fresh. That last panel with Velliok’s face directly seeming to almost come out of camera as he drops his supposed “bombshell” is awesome. And finally Vero, I defy anyone to have come up with a more vile skin tone for this “King of Hell.” He’s perfectly vile, inside and out. So, well done!
