Changes² aka Changes to the Power of Two
Once again, there was a change to the title of this page between its publication on Patreon and uploading here. This is the modified version of the page, the so-called uncut version is on the $1 Patreon tier.
We’re trying our best to speed up the rate of publication of this upcoming sequence. The next page is on Monday, the 12th of April 2021.

This is the fourteenth of twenty rebooted pages with new ones being added with every new page update. You can see all twenty rebooted pages (and more!) at the $5 Patreon tier right now!
Okay, okay. We get it.
You love cliffhangers.
But enough is enough, okay? Give us that reveal!
Well, that’s why we went Mon/Thur instead of Mon/Mon with the updates!
You think that is a cliffhanger? No no no, this is a cliffha
No, this is a Cliffhanger.

Thanks for upping the rate of publication. Helps the comic flow better.
We figured in advance that this is especially something people would want to get to as soon as possible (I’ve only just learned where this is going myself when I needed to know about logistics).
This current increase in the pace is temporary but the plan has always been (and we’ve been working towards for a while now) to make it permanent – or at least long term as in for as many years as we can.
Wonderful. I’d be willing to up my membership cost if it meant publishing more often than once a week. And I agree… this reveal is driving me crazy.
Of course getting Exiern to break even is an ongoing project acutely speaking money isn’t the issue per se at the moment. The rate limiting step is how fast the artist can generate new pages and we’re basically hitting the limits at the moment (as part of the longer term laying down of foundations for the future, not everything can be dedicated just to the main storyline alone). We do hope to make two pages a week at least permanent one day. We’re not there yet but we’re getting increasingly closer by the day!
What’s happening? what’s happening!?
Tell us tell us tell us tell us tell us //NOWW!!//
I only recently learned what was going to happen as part of logistically planning ahead which is why I tried to see if we could increase the speed of the next few pages at least which it turns out we can do the reveal will be a couple of weeks sooner because of it.
I know this probably isn’t helping but what’s coming up is a doozy and I wasn’t expecting it at all! It’s got me really interested in what’s going to happen next which I admit may come across as something that’s a bit of an unusual thing to say given I’m now presently nominally in charge of everything now!
Will Typhnan-Knee be ginger after this, I wonder.
[Insert Captain America gif here – you know the one]
Calling it now: The magic is gonna be like “OK. Fair. This clothing belongs to a woman. But that woman has no boobs and a penis, so… here’s no boobs and a penis”
And it’s going to become a thing where he can physically become a man, but only while wearing Cap’s clothing (and apparently, the transformation is painful, for good measure)
Some people may ask “Why would it work that way” and at the end of the day, the spell is based entirely on two things: acceptance and perception.
Low acceptance? the effect strengthens.
Low perception of women? effect makes you meet those low standards
So, accepting that, despite being biologically male, that the Captain is indeed a woman? That very well might have some kind of effect on the spell.
Next page is up on the Exiern Patreon $1 tier as of right now for anyone who wants to see it!
And now the page after it is also on the Patreon! Just $1 not due until the 1st of May if you want to see the next 2 pages right now before they’re published on Monday April the 12th and Thursday April the 15th respectively!
Well crap… you just lost me. I have no interest in reading about this.
I’ve just very recently learned what happened next myself, I can say at least that all is not as it seems just yet! Give us a two more pages chance at least to change your mind (next Thur and Mon)?
I will re-subscribe if things change again no worries. But I’m a fan of the transgender issue with the comic and want to support that.
The money has never been the issue, on that note I always offer people who leave mid-month to come back so they can get the rest of the content posted on the Patreon for that month (since I consider them to have paid for it) and then leave at the end of it before that month’s charge. If there’s a worry about accidentally forgetting to cancel before the payment at the end of the moment, I always tell people to let me know if that happens, as long as you’re still an active patron I can refund that payment – and then they can cancel, there’s always that backup.
Now as I said, the money was not the issue behind me writing, as I have said before, Scott offered me the privilege to take over the writing and to take it any way I wanted since I was taking over the financial side of things. I guess kind of like the arrangement and power Disney had over Star Wars.
However, maybe I was smarter than Disney in the sense I’ve kept my hands off it as much as possible. I have the occasional idea around the edges but I always put it to Scott first and wouldn’t do anything if he wouldn’t agree to it.
All of the above is a roundabout way of saying that I rarely know what’s going to happen much ahead of the audience, if it all.
When I do know, it’s because I need to know for logistics reasons and even then, it’s not by much.
This is a roundabout way as well of saying that I only know what’s in the next two pages and I was genuinely surprised! There’s no way I would in know way have seen what’s coming next. Also, as surprises go, I really like it! I think it opens up a lot of future storytelling potential beyond it too which I never knew it wanted in a direction I never could have seen the story going – in a good way! In all these years, this story has yet to stop surprising me with its twists and turns, long may that continue!
So, all I’m asking here to yourself and everyone else, give the next two pages after the next one a chance when they’re published, I’m thinking (I’m hoping!) you might be pleasantly surprised!
I mean it is also why even though we’re not ready to go to 2/week every week yet (though hopefully people have noticed there hasn’t been much in the way of delays to weekly updates this year in terms of filler), I could see people would want to get to the reveals as fast as possible which is why I’ve been pushing for twice weekly updates to get the story through this part as quickly as possible and our artist has been working as hard as possible to make it happen.
TL;DR – We hope you stick around even just a little longer at least, we think it might be worth it – if we’ve guessed right, you won’t be disappointed!
I will stick around. Exiern has been by favorite comic. I am simply fearful the aspects I like it for aren’t now being overlooked is all. But sure.. 2 pages is not much to ask.
You people are PATHETIC!!!!
