So! The view has definitely improved from Spooky’s little trip to Hell. So nice to get our guys back together! But now we’ve come to it: does Spooky tell Kyle the truth about what happened and ask for his help? Or does he keep it all to himself, and try to handle it alone? Y’all know Spooky well at this point. What do you think he’s going to do?

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

Patreon crumbles in heartbreak for the upcoming page

G’Day everyone. I’d say “Happy Australia Day”, but that phrase has been shown to be in poor taste.

I haven’t camped or really commented in ages, but I find myself with some rare spare time today. What’s news?

Hi Michael welcome back……..I hear it’s been hot down under…..hope you are staying cool.

Spooky seems to have had a conversation with the Demon Velliok who is probably responsible for his stay in the hell dimension

“Spooky! It’s been only been two minutes,but it feels like months!”

– Hotshot Abridged. >:)

I’m really looking forward to this next page and what Spooky says about his past times in the hell dimension

Hi everyone (waves @ Dave)

Hello Campers,
I’m hoping Spooky tells Kyle the truth.

Where is everybody?

Hi Dave, made it in before the new episode came up …..back to abby -normal.

Googling for images of Roger Stone in dark glasses (for example: this one), I can’t help but wonder if he in any way inspired Velliok’s look.

I was thinking of Leonard Cohen.

Not sure why ,David, but this reminds me of Mr. Magoo!

I did send Adam some images for inspiration, but Roger Stone was not one of them. 🙂

please leave Mr Stone in the real world and not with the Young Protectors

Ya’ know? I am not going to want favorite panel page on this one. It is in it’s own way a great representation of emotion, joy, worry, relief, angst, etc in a unique comic fashion. Well rendered by the artists and the writer I might add.

Thank you, William. 🙂

i love them so much i could cry
whatcha going tell him, Spooky mah boy???

I hope Spooky is going to tell Kyle because of this: Spooky said himself that to go back to hell he’ll have to use Kyle powers, if he isn’t telling him, that means he will use him without telling him and that’s horrible knowing Kyle’s past. So I hope he’ll tell him everything :/.

That’s a very good point, Concerto.

He in his own way I think has a very high value when it comes to honor. After tales and explanations I think Kyle will (1) doubt that he is good enough for Spooks (2) offer any and all help for his friend, lover even at the cost he may face because he truly does love the first person he CAN love physically and emotionally.

Yeah, what happened?! I thought *my* world was crazily complicated.

Ha!

I’m hoping Spooky tells Kyle everything. And I hope Kyle is understanding about it.

“Quick question, totally random, but have you ever considered polyamory?”

“I don’t need any armor, I’m bullet-proof!”

I am not sure many folks know what it means or could practice it safely! LMAO!

It’s stupid but I hope Kyle and Spooky are still going to be a thing because they look like they love each other a lot and even if there is still Anaado I’m not that attached to him for the moment even if he looks like a good buddy.

Kyle and Spooky will still be a thing. You can love more than one person. Maybe not in the same fashion but with the same intensity. Kyle and Spook’s will maintain a relationship and go through hell ( literally, is this the first time that’s happened?” To save Anaado for how he saved Spooks and became more than as he was a demon of hell. They grew each other so to speak but, Anaado may not exactly be Anaado anymore. Hell in any form would be endless torture and Mr Butler had too much of a self satisfying smirk for it to be anything but pleasant for when Spooks and Anaado meet up again (they will).

I know polyamory is a thing and that it can, and is most of the time healthy relationships, but in the firsts pages Kyle say something like ” I will break my heart into a million pieces to just be with you ” and I know that if he had to make a choice where he was incomfortable with polyamory he will still choose to be with Spooky because he is in love with him. I identify a lot with Kyle and a lot of his insecurities, and I know that I have too many insecurities to even consider it. And it’s just me reflecting and the poor Kyle it’s just my feeling about it really 🙂 (I’m really sorry for my english, it must be horrible, so sorry, it’s not my first language I tried my best :'( )

I think you expressed yourself quite well, Concerto. And I would have similar concerns about Kyle in that situation. If that’s what Spooky wants, how do you think he should handle it?

Too wordy?

No, not at all it’s OK 🙂

I sure hope Spooky will tell him and everyone else, too. If anything he was the one hearing out Kyle about Duncan so he should open up in return but obviously also just because it is the right thing to do >//////<

I think so too. 🙂

Oh Spooky, I wish I could stay mad at you for what you’re about to do (keep this all from Kyle and deal with it yourself), but you’re naked and being emotional with a naked Kyle, and right now I wish the two of you could stay like that for the rest of the story.

Hard to stay mad at a naked Spooky.

Won’t happen. I hope. Spooks has grown a lot and must know what would happen down that road. The bricks would be anything but gold.

Maybe Spooky could start with a comment something like: “We both have pasts, Kyle. Some of it’s unfinished business that you can’t solve alone. But now that I have family like you, and the team, that can change. It all started when . . .”

I like this, Ulysses. It sounds like something Spooky would say. 🙂

Family?

Both Kyle and Spooky are without family except for their chosen family — each other and the team.

Pages like this…….make me long for the old days….I just feel lonely.

As do I at times. Then I pet the cat and talk to the snake.

There’s a man in Eastern Pennsylvania who keeps a “Emotional Support Alligator” in a plastic pond in his living room.

Saw that. I don’t think that animal is good for me. Too many teeth~

I know I would get a lot of emotional support out of feeding it people I hate.

I think the next page should be a splash page featuring the entire team suited up in their HQ, listening to Spooky saying “…and that’s what happened”, with a kaleidoscopic visual summary of Spooky’s encounter with Aanado/Velliok occupying the upper half of the page. Feel free to give us our first peek of the sphere celestiale in that summary.

I like the way you think, David. 🙂

Interesting concept. It would have to include Kyle holding him tightly to support him as well I think.

I like that image too, William.

Can’t wait to find out how mad at Spooky I’m about to be!

LOL. Let me know on a scale of 1 to 10. 🙂

So far we’re hovering at a 1, but my hand is waiting on the dial just in case!

Let us hope not at all!

Yes, that would be ideal!

oh kyle, sweetie, it’s not your fault
honestly? knowing spooky, this could go either way
spooky is very private with certain things, and mostly for a good reason, considering his previous trip to hell. but him and kyle did have a serious discussion beforehand, and they both know to more open with each other about things, i just don’t think spooky thought him opening up about his past would end up happening so soon lol
but things are pretty serious right now, he probably knows it’s not a good idea to keep some secrets at this point

We can hope so, Shiny. 🙂

It’s not you, it’s me

In this case, it’s true.

One comment, ok two. “EEEEEEEKKKK”, no!

I hope he does tell. He will need all the help he can get.

Against Velliok? Agreed.

So happy to see the boys back together, and on the same plain of existence (at least for now). Even glad to see the concern on Kyle’s face, even though it’s not his fault at all. Hoping that Spooky will be honest with him and yet – protective.

Even though these experiences with Spooky have been very healing, Kyle will always be Kyle. And your demons are always there when you need them.

But I think it’s a safe bet to hope that Spooky will be protective. Honest? We shall see. 🙂

“THIS is where I belong.”

Yes. 🙂

Love this page. It’s just so great seeing them together. How caring Spooky is about Kyle.

I was about to say that it was great to see Spooky away from hell, but it hit me. He isn’t, is he?
He’s just a bit more away, but not gone. Velliok just had Spooky go through several levels of hell, even if only in his mind, and he/this just added another level to Spooky’s new emotional hell.
Past meeting his present.

Tell Kyle everything or not? Spooky being his typical and caring self, this can actually go both ways next. He is also very direct and honest when he’s opening up, but he clearly keeps his secrets and privacy too.
I hope Spooky tells, but in a way I can see Spooky feel that it’s (initially at least) protecting Kyle not to tell.

Is this the time for him to open fully up about his past?

I’m glad you like the page, Danish. Feels good to get them back together.

And you’re right. What Velliok has done and what he’s said brings him closer to Hell than he’s been in a long time.

How he handles it…? Well, we’re about to see. 🙂

Now the dilemma! If Spooky tells him the truth, then this could take ten pages or so. If he doesn’t, he’s being dishonest.

Solution: tell him in the form of a wordless flashback illustration.

Yay, several months worth of this nightmare is done! Kyle is back, and they can get back to being boyfriends and kicking ass at work!

I love this thought

A aww…these two are so sweet

They are.
My first reaction to the look of worry on Kyle’s face in panel 4 was that he still has hangups about hurting people with his powers – which may be true – but then I remembered that Spooky described him as one of the gentlest people he knew. Whatever the exact path he took to get there, Kyle is just sweet.

He is that. For sure. 🙂

He will need serious love and support to get through the fear of hurting people bit. Remember the first time he masturbated?

Possibly not enough hugs for DaveFragments, but it looks like the start of explanations.
(How will Spooky handle giving explanations? Stay tuned.)

Hugs are like having two desserts at one of those big family meals — a reward for being good

Hugs because you are a great guy?

PS. Wouldn’t want to be a moderator. Kudos to you sir.

yeah, being good deserves a reward
