The Facets have it

Plural comics. Feel free to send asks. (If we reblog things that aren't plurality related it's unintentional lol) Endo-friendly.

Meet the facets

the fonts are what everyone uses when speaking. our earlier comics weren't consistent about this but we're gonna do that going forward!

to be updated if/when things change...

Colorblindness affects about 8% of men and 0.5% of women around the world, with red-green colorblindness being the most common. Around ~13 million people in USAmerica are colorblind.

This is why we& draw in black and white and differentiate with (still readable) fonts and pseudonyms :)

[thefacets]

I wanna be clear this isn't about any one blog and it isn't just about color-censoring pseudonyms! For example, I have seen blogs use colored speech bubbles or colored text to denote who's speaking or thinking at a given time with no other indicators. This can be especially confusing when a back and forth exchange occurs, there's no speech at all (symbols and feelings and such), or it's unexpected in context (say, one member's thoughts/feelings start "bleeding through" someone else's speech)

A comment pointed out that a lot of these comics are meant as semi-private diaries. But if your comic is not that, and you mean for it to be read and enjoyed by others (we& do!), consider accessibility!

After this got posted...even on a short scroll thru the #plural comics tag, I've already seen a few big system comics (more popular than mine) start adopting symbols/chibi-faces with text, written out names, and so on. Making sure that color isn't the only thing conveying information makes their comics more accessible! Thank you @orchardsys and @theweathersystem!!

(These were the two I stumbled upon in the first two pages of the tag, I'm sure there's more! Feel free to shout out if you've changed your comics to be more accessible in the comments if you want)

(more info on color accessibility here!)

seriously, the brain comes up with their appearance, demeanor, role, and name and hands it to me on a silver platter, and i wake up like. gdi. i realize i shouldn't complain compared to other systems' struggles but why does this keep happening (quoth my husband: trrrrauuuma???)

also i should have probably inked this to make things clearer but a friend's coming over soon so i don't want to. check the alt text if you need.

[thefacets]

if you can guess my source, i don't care. i didn't exactly make it subtle.

What would yall say the difference is between facets and alters in yalls experience?

There is none to us, we just like the term "facets" better than "alters" or "headmates" ^^

Sorry for not adding image descriptions before, I realized only a bit ago that I can save the images in drafts and add it before posting >_> I'm going to go back and add to the currently non-described ones later.

[thefacets]

the voice never spoke again btw

[thefacets]

hey, i just wanted to say that your comics have helped me start working through some things in my own mind and headspace. i see a lot of similarities between our systems, and its really nice to know that we're not alone. thank you. i hope you're all doing well

Thank you! The same goes for you.
