Hi guys! I have returned for something very important- explaining how Switch’s story was gonna continue. Because at first I thought maybe I’d continue it one day, so I shouldn’t spoil it, but honestly if I ever work on it again it’s gonna be completely different lol so I’ll just tell you guys everything! A final feast for all the Switch fans, I suppose :] Oh btw you can click to see unfinished panels and concept art and stuff, I would recommend you read this main description first though, and refer to certain slides when mentioned! Descriptions of the images are in Notes and Credits. Okay, so after the events of the last chapter, both Xin and Evan would have to go to each other’s houses until they switch back, which neither of them are happy about. However, neither of them want to worry their parents- Xin thinks his mom is gonna make him move schools or something if she finds out his power was revealed, and Evan’s parents hate demons and would be very hard to explain the situation to. So basically they’d both learn what each other’s situations are; Xin would find out how controlling and strict Evan’s parents are (btw, his parents call him by his full name, Evangeline) and Evan would have a bit of a change of heart realizing that demons aren’t actually evil and terrible and his change of heart would actually be what makes them switch back. At some point soon after this Xin would decide to set off on his own to go find the seal, but Roz and Jay both realize he’s missing somehow and each go off on their own to find him, eventually bumping into each other on the way there. Roz talks to Xin, saying she was worried about him, I guess, but she keeps fighting with Jayvien the whole time and eventually I think Xin would be fed up and ask why they’re fighting so much anyways and then the juicy backstory begins!! Roz and Jayvien used to be friends in elementary school (or some equivalent of that), until one day Jay started only hanging out with the popular kids and seemingly ignoring her. She tried to make friends after that, but most people found her weird and she had a really hard time. But the real reason was that people suddenly held a weird admiration for Jay, and he couldn’t shake off all the people. (But it is also kinda his fault, he could have tried harder) This part was gonna be explained later, but the reason Jayvien had/has the “cool kid aura” (that is not what it’s called) was cuz his family has a secret source of magic that gave them all that through necklaces they wore. Jayvien wore his necklace because it was like important to him, I think I was gonna make it belong to a dead brother or something who his parents constantly compared him to, but then when he figures out the truth, he rips it off, and maybe Roz gives him a friendship necklace or something as a replacement :> (Before you read this next part, go to slides 10-14!) Eventually they’d arrive at the city, and it’s all in ruins. Xin remarks that it was called Peredine, even though he has no idea how he knows that. They find the seal, and it needs to be touched by a cat, an angel, and a demon to break, and so they do. I don’t remember what immediate effects this has though, but it was bad, even if they didn’t realize it, because little did they know they released the Absolution. But I thought the whole point was that some of the Absolution (the darkness) escaped the seal anyways?? Idk, what was I even writing man… After this I thought it would be fun if the three had a sleepover together, it would be a bit silly but I think something would go wrong at the end?? Idk- One of the last things that was gonna happen was that the three would find out that there’s actually a lot more people with secret powers than they thought. Though, most of them are fairly weak compared to Xin’s. I think there was gonna be someone who could teleport through water, her name was Petri, this character called Almira was gonna be in it (maybe some of you know her already!), and I was kind of on the fence about this one but maybe someone who could read minds, but only when the thoughts are about them- And the club was gonna have a fake name to avoid suspicion, Trash Picker Uppers, but the real name is True Powers Unite lol And then, one time at the club, one of the members is weirdly pushy about wanting to try Xin’s power. He says no, but they forcefully remove his eyepatch or something and switch. Turns out that they weren’t even a person, they were a part of the Absolution disguising themselves, and then they run off and try to like- kill Xin by doing something terrible while in his body. Gosh, that’s kinda dark, actually… And Xin would be in a body of like pure darkness and that would be interesting idk what the effects of that would be- Idk when, but the prologue you read earlier would be revealed to actually be the fake version of history that everyone believes is true. (cont. in notes and credits, I ran out of room)
(cont.) It would’ve been so fun to actually get to all the reveals i was planning… at least I got to one lol Xin actually had another, subtler power; the ability to see into other people’s lives through dreams and memories. I didn’t really get a chance to show this cuz he only slept once but there was gonna be more! The reason Jayvien looked familiar to him was because he had a dream about him- and that was (kinda) what the prologue of Switch was, actually; his dream. Mind blown!1!1! And yes I know this doesn’t make that much sense because the prologue wasn’t real, but I dunno- Also I have no clue when I was gonna work this in but at some point I was gonna develop Iyzel’s backstory and why Xin’s dad is missing but I don’t even know the answer to that help I didn’t actually have the ending that figured out, but I think it was gonna be something like the Absolution breaking free and them all having to fight against it, and Xin actually has control over his powers and does cool stuff yay 1. Very old placeholder cover art, actually one of the first things I drew for it loll 2-4. Unfinished panels for the next chapter 5. Silly little interaction I wrote because I needed a way to refer to them as a group 6-7. A future side character, Petri! 8. Another side character, Almira 9. Woah! It’s Xin’s dad!?!? (He does not have a name) 10-14. The very first thing I wrote for Switch, and the entire basis of the story, as well as some additional notes. I think it does shed a light on how quickly I started the comic because basically all of this information is still accurate, while my new comic, Fallen Luminary, only has a few core concepts that are the same as what I first wrote about it. Though, Switch is a plot-first story, while the story about my moth guys was character based, so I guess it’s not a /completely/ fair comparison… whatever Anyways I hope it’s readable cuz this is like the most important writing here- I would type it out but that would take forever and also my description space is limited. 15. Yeah Estrell is actually evil lol, good job to those of you who guessed that! And to all of you who had correct theories, for that matter :] 16. A scene that would have happened later on probably 17. It’s super hard to tell what’s going on, but this is Jay and Roz’s backstory of why she hates him!! 18-20. The first draft of the body switching scene that I completely scrapped and redid- idk if I really like the new version more though?? 21. This was drawn before Switch was even a concept, I was making a character to go along with a DTA entry I did, didn’t end up winning the character though so I was just left with her lol 22. Creepy guy named Fester that I was considering having them meet in the ruins, he’d somehow stayed alive for a thousand years or something 23. Silly little Christmas comic! I didn’t post it tho because they weren’t friends at that point in the story… 24. Ancient angel and demon concepts 25. General Artemis, an old OC of mine was gonna be an important part of the past! He would have been the leader in a war against the angels after everything in the true prologue happened, and this was kinda how all the cities fell into ruin I guess. 26-27. More concepts, not really a fan of any of them tho 28. More of the first stuff I ever drew for Switch! I hope this all made sense, with it being split between this description and the pictures, apologies if it’s confusing! Okay time for some final notes I didn’t mention this in my leaving project initially, but I wasn’t actually that happy with how the story was going, somewhat of a result of not planning enough and me realizing I didn’t actually like the body-switching power that much (and that’s uh, kinda a problem considering it’s a major plot point and also the story title) as well as… most of the story I had planned. I didn’t even really like the character’s names. Oof. Being dissatisfied with the storyline is also why i stopped working on it, kinda like THE main reason, in fact. Can’t believe I forgot to write that in my leaving project honestly lol I’m still not gonna be active on Scratch, I just really wanted to post this because the cliffhanger did feel kind of mean to leave off on and I wanna give some kind of closure! If I do post anything else it’ll probably be an announcement of when I start posting my new comic. But hey wait! I’m very active on ArtFight rn, as well as Toyhouse, where I am trying to upload ALL my characters! >:D And somewhat on DeviantArt and Instagram! YouTube exists as well! (PeriluneStar for all of those) If you have any unanswered questions about the story or want more specifics about certain scenes, go ahead and ask! I might not answer everyone depending on how many people comment though. Also if you want to ask questions about my new comic, PLEASE do!! :D (if you forgot, it’s the one with the moth characters: Altair, Sarin, and Astrid) Okay byeeee :3
