The last storytime?
For the awesome anons asking about where I've been hosting the Kyle Saga comic I've been storytiming in past.BIG NEWS it's no longer Imgur! Yay!In the last month I officially moved all Kyle Saga chapters to another website and as such. The links to the chapters in the directory have been replaced!An index of with the chapters can be found in chronological order on Tumblr that I have also neatly curated better than the last.The new directory can be found here.https://www.tumblr.com/thekylesaga/688928833720745984/first-time-readers?source=shareDue to the move to Tapas, I've divided the chapters into "acts" as the ending of each can be seen as self-contained.AND YES I know Tapas is gonna shut down. I'm bummed about it but also working onto moving Kyle Saga to a new location. Act 1: Kyle in the Crimson WasteCheck out The Kyle Saga: Act 1 on Tapashttps://tapas.io/series/The-Kyle-Saga-Act-1
>>155878195Act 2: Kyle goes into Etheriahttps://tapas.io/series/The-Kyle-Saga-Act-2
>>155878225Act: Kyle Unearths Etheria (ongoing)https://tapas.io/series/The-Kyle-Saga-Act-3Finally updated it!
>>155878399Last storytime was back in...February *cries* this year, man...Sooo there will be a little recap. Small as it is
>>155878608
>>155878651Like I said back in...February*cries again*Mach chose to sneak into the Red Knight, and embraced it without any previous prejudices or knowledge of why. He wanted to help those who couldn't, nothing more.
we love you Kyleanon
>>155878727This is the story of a man, a wretch, a king, a memory, a dream. The story of a choice that led to all others.What came off Dreer and Darkney became fodder to the very spiders they sought to usurp. Now Null's children seek to lay waste to Etheria once more...
>>155878880"How dare they put me in this getup" "How dare they try to use me as their tool!"Like father like son
>>155878906Welcome back Mach...for the most part.He's coming to terms with what he is, but there is still shame.
>>155878933I chuddily complain about modern girlboss character from time to time but my biggest gripe with them is that are rarely ever allowed to be funny or the butt of the joke.Telzy is sorta my answer to that I guess
>>155879020Null may indeed have known the way
>>155879067No obe else but Jared
>>155879162
>>155879261
>>155879316One last sacrifice...
>>155879343
>>155879417A sword to help those who can't.
>>155879476Spiders molting have always been oddly fascinating I guess
>>155879515
>>155879587Loved drawing these
>>155879621
>>155879662The old troll king can rest in peace...
>>155879697Don't think you are getting away so easily, Arden...
>>155879738What was taken must be returned
>>155879758Sweet dreams, Nabob
>>155879826
Reminder that Catra and Adora are straight now.
>>155879926There is catch...
>>155880028A price was paid and Mach will have to live with it...
>>155880028>There is catch...
>>155880069The planet did not chose her, and still she will be remembered in sonvs and legends as the She-Ra who came to the troll's when they needed her more
>>155880178Perhaps Zed does feel the sting of jealousy. Unlike Null, Horde Prime never felt a hint of regret.
>>155880220
>>155880279I definitely wanted to make a callback to when Kyle and Mach met and embraced in the Fright Zone.Back then Mach seemed happy but scared, in shock. He had already met Dreer and made up his mind in destroying Etheria and then...There's none of that now.
>>155880387Nabob may be redeemed to some readers, maybe to Kyle, but most likely Etheria will always see him as a complete monster. He knows it. The bad casted a shadow on him long ago.
>>155880431Things will be different from now on. A second chance at life like the one Mach got should never be taken for granted
>>155880538The comet has come to pass, and the old cat has fulfilled his mission. But through Kyle he gained a new one worth dedicating his last live into.Arden was once a good sorcerer who fell on bad ways after losing his mentor to Shadow Weaver. Catillus is no saint, but the old cat's influence might set him off on a better path.
>>155880609Oh Telzy...
This looks neat. I do miss the She-Ra discussion threads when the show aired. I do remember they changed Kyle's gender to female in the Romanian dub for some reason. Probably to censor his gay relationship with Rogelio.
>>155880886Mach: you had to wrangle me for an entire act it's my turn to return the favor
>>155878077This is a dude? Pretty good at that annoyed cutie expression
>>155881217
>>155881355It's been a while Peeks!
>>155881473Sprit!
>>155881619Kyle gets the cozy Twigget family reunion and Mach gets the awkward one.
>>155881780To war once more!
>>155882011Kyle actually has some pretty strong fellas backing him up
>>155882222>"What, you those guys are gonna sit..."??
>>155882222
>>155882618What else did Mach/Nabob saw? How much did Mach/Nabob saw?
>>155882729
>>155882850"But you aren't just anyone"Kyle wanted to help those who couldn't. Nothing more.
>>155882889Just like Nabob, Mach is to become his man at arms. A wiser, fatherly version who has learned from his creator's mistakes
Hey Kyleanon I wish to stay to the end of the storytime, but I have to sleep and I worry the thread won't be active tomorrow. Also, sorry for interrupting the storytime.Just wanted to say I really enjoyed it. Both Kyle, you and us (readers) went a long way and a lot of happened since the very first chapter where Kyle was stuck on a couch.I feel like you were more passionate about the franchise and newest she-ra iteration than it's main author. I sometimes reread the story from the archives because they also include your side notes. In my opinion Kylesaga is on similar level of 4chan creativity as Snoot Game, Katawa Shoujo or 4 guardsmen party I really wish this wasn't the end but, based on your Xitter, you had quite a lot of on your plate so I understand you wanting to wrap up the story, which is still better than just dropping it or putting it on eternal hiatus.Once again thanks for the story and nonetheless I hope for more Kyle adventures in the future
>>155883295This is the story of a man who went on his way to find out his destiny. The story of a wretch who became a king...Aaannd this is where arc 4 comes to an end.
>>155883422On the comic's future.I mentioned on Xitter this would most likely be the last Kyle Saga storytimeI started Kyle Saga back in 2021 to help me work out A LOT of pandemic baggage at the time. 6 years later, a TON has changed since Kyle left that nasty sofa. Some good and some bad, but and my body and soul tells me it is time to move on.There is/was definitely an Arc 4 planned out which would go into some threads act 3 left hanging. The Star Sisters final downfall, Telzy's reunion with her parents, the story of Kyle's mother Deena, Mach patching things up with George, Glimmer learning the truth about Kyle, what became of Ayla, etc. But I unfortunately can't put in the work it deserves wothout burning myself out or further damage my wrist in the process.Just like Kyle, I'm quite proud of how far I went with this story, and it gave me newfound confidence in telling stories and I wish to continue with other tales. Kyle Saga will always hold a special place.While Kyle Saga isn't entirely finished. I've worked my butt to leave things on as much of high note as possible. So I wanted an epilogue with Kyle having a reunion with the folks at the Crimson Waste (where it all began) and a promise that Kyle will be alright. He's got A LOT of cool folks backing him up.Who knows, perhaps one day I may end up picking up from where I left off.
>>155881019>This looks neat. I do miss the She-Ra discussion threads when the show aired. Thanks! I wasn't around for those but I imagine they were engaging.She-Ra/MOTU does seem to get an odd thread from time to time but I'm not aeound often to catch them anymore.>I do remember they changed Kyle's gender to female in the Romanian dub for some reason. Probably to censor his gay relationship with Rogelio.lmao I have heard some countries made changes to censor stuff but now I'm curious how female Kyle sounds like.
Actual end of Kyle's timeLizardman Tomboy poly relationship
>>155883352>Hey Kyleanon. I wish to stay to the end of the storytime, but I have to sleep and I worry the thread won't be active tomorrow. Also, sorry for interrupting the storytime.No worries! Thanks for showing up!>Just wanted to say I really enjoyed it. Both Kyle, you and us (readers) went a long way and a lot of happened since the very first chapter where Kyle was stuck on a couch.It really was! I had to do some callbacks because of it. It is great to reread early KS and see how different Kyle was a character back then.>I really wish this wasn't the end but, based on your Xitter, you had quite a lot of on your plate.I definitely had more free time that kept Kyle Saga going steady. I have also been struggling with tendonitis from overworking myself in 2025.I used to be able to sketch around 4 pages per day, now that feels almost impossible without starting to feel sore. It really is a crutch and a lot of the delays boils down to it.>I understand you wanting to wrap up the story, which is still better than just dropping it or putting it on eternal hiatus.That was my plan. I wanted Kyle to save his Dad above all else. I'm not super fond of tense cliffhangers so I went out to make sure the Act 3 epilogue ending felt more positive, exciting, and uplifting for Kyle.
>>155878077What is it with western cartoons and giving men extremely heavy eyeliner eyelashes and effeminate cute faces, I already get enough of this shit in my animays
>>155885604The anime influence most likely
>>155884114I hope your wrist gets better, not only because that would mean a chance for Act 4 but also because I worked as a massage therapist for a while so I know how painful wrist pains can be. Still shame we will never see Kyle chewing Bow on his dick move on thatt ship or Brightie standing up for herself.Speaking of Star Sisters, every time Hunga said they would be vilified because of their looks reminded me of Arushale from Wrath of the Righteous. She looks similar (picrel) to the Sisters and she's a succubus that got redeemed and a romance option. If Crusaders, albeit saltly, accepted her then Star Sisters shouldn't have a problem with their harpy looks. Although she-ra world seem to be more superficial.I'm still glad you gave a good closure to Kyle and his dad. I was worried you would go for more bittersweet ending. After years of subversion and grey morality we should start going back to simple good endings 2021...damn... Really a lot of happened since then. For me it was finding a semi-decent job, buying a flat, moving in, changing body proportions from overweight at the cusp of 1st degree obese to normal, getting a PC so I can play more recent Vidya (checking out Elden Ring right now) and not killing myself.Are you going to post/check on your Xitter?
>I hope your wrist gets better, not only because that would mean a chance for Act 4 but also because I worked as a massage therapist for a while so I know how painful wrist pains can be.Yes I've had co-workers K.O'd out of animation careers because of CTS-inducing fast paced gigs. One was a top student in our class which seriously sucked although he got better, just not 100%My wrist pain does seem to go away duiring holidays or calmer work months which is my Dr thinks it's just tendonitis. However it does get sore when I write or scribble too fast which is how Kyle Saga rolls. I am developing more gentle drawing styles and workflows atm where I don't put so much stress on my arm since I do have all this drive and ideas for Act 4 as well as my other webcomics but it sucks my wrist can't keep up like it used to rn.
>>155888068>Are you going to post/check on your Xitter?Most likely yes I don't plan to delete it or anything. Though I am not sure how active I'm going to be going forward. I might share some hints about other works of mine. Maybe.I'm a bit busy atm so I'll try to post the chapter up on Tapas and make an update there and here (if the thread survives) as soon as I can.
Will read tommorow
>>155887266>I'm still glad you gave a good closure to Kyle and his dad. I was worried you would go for more bittersweet ending. I did try to add some bittersweet elements in Mach not being unable to rid himself of the virus and Nabob/Null's memories. A consecuence he has to live with as with the knowledge he is a clone with biomechanical biology like the Hordaks.
>>155889433>After years of subversion and grey morality we should start going back to simple good endingsI love good endings with bittersweet undertones (Lord of the Rings comes to mind) or fullblown tragedy that leaves you thinking at night (Greek/Norse mythology, and Sweeney Todd, I guess)I like writing the former and I dread to go for the later because it's too sad and I start trykng to find ways to "lessen the blow" Null's story is my closest attempt so far. The guy pushed everyone he cared for away and died alone without forgiveness and full of regret.
>>155883925This was his original VA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb35K00T8B4 but she sounded more boyish. Like a big girl who wanted to sound like a guy but didn't go all the way with a raspy voice and rough vocals.She also dubbed Spinnerella, Light Hope, and 2 other minor characters.Coca Zibilianu voiced Kyle for S2E4
>>155882262Yikes!Will fix it when I upload it to Tapas
>>155885604Why be an ugly average guy when you can be a pretty guy?Kyle took the pretty route.
>>155887266>Still shame we will never see Kyle chewing Bow on his dick move on thatt ship or Brightie standing up for herself.Aw man, I had that as part of the plot in Act 4. My idea is that the Star Sisters would maybe try to use that info to blackmail Bow at some point. Bow doesn't want to disappoint Glimmer nor his parents.>Speaking of Star Sisters, every time Hunga said they would be vilified because of their looks reminded me of Arushale from Wrath of the Righteous. She looks similar (picrel) to the Sisters and she's a succubus that got redeemed and a romance option. If Crusaders, albeit saltly, accepted her then Star Sisters shouldn't have a problem with their harpy looks. Although she-ra world seem to be more superficial.You can actually see one of the Harpy designs in the reboot behind Mermista's hand. My hc is that one harpy she is Gayla (wearing a wig) who was sent undercover by Hunga to find out if Peekablue was really there which contradicted their information. Maybe they would have been shunned outright back when Vultak's crimes and transformation was recent, but most Etherians outside of Angella (who is gone) do not remember.The irony is they would probably be more accepted now, but Hunga forces them to keep their forms secret due to her revenge plans.
Uploading to Tapas now...
UP on Tapas!Chapter 20 part 6: Kyle gets naked, loses his junk (complete):https://tapas.io/episode/3804369Chapter 20 part 7: Kyle becomes king, drags planet into warhttps://tapas.io/episode/4010095
Tapas shutting down is such a bummer; it wasn't perfect but I vastly prefer ut over webtoons. I'd recommend ComicFury as another potential home for KS.
ah fuck I have not kept up with this in a LONG time, thank god its on a better website than imgur though
>>155891703>I'd recommend ComicFury as another potential home for KS.Yes I will move it there! I already have a webcomic in there and really like it so far! With so many fancomics as well it feels like the right place.Posting almost +1000 pages is gonna take a while though, but I intend to make it happen before Tapas shuts down.
>>155892136>Posting almost +1000 pages is gonna take a while thoughSorry I meant almost 2000 pages.Hoo boy...
>>155892260Oof, good luck with that. At least you've got time til the end of the year when they're shutting down, which is... a few more months. Jesus, where does the time fly? Next you'll tell me Kyle Saga's been going on for 5 years!
Can you upload the whole Kylesaga into a single zip file?I would like to have it archived somewhere on a disk but I don't feel like saving almost 2k pages one by one
