Princess & The System, by bobapearlcomics (sci-fi comic, 2023?)
Submitted by erinptah !
A cool quote from the work: "Why does everyone call you princess anyways?" [Don't say it.] [SAYING ITTTTT.] [Don't say it.] "We sold our real name to the fae." [Oh my god, GOBBO WHY?!]
Blurb: It's about a cyborg with DID, also cool armor and magic powers from a deal with the Fae that they warn everyone else not to imitate, trying to become queen of the pirates. First step: rescue a future-Twitch celebrity who just livestreamed herself fighting cops by turning into a dragon.
Why is it worth your time?: Absolutely wild genre-blend with fast-paced action and immediately-appealing characters. The main character is a system of (at least) three, with a fun, affectionate dynamic. (We get a lot of their internal conversation in color-coded dialogue boxes, and when someone talks out loud, their armor lights up in those colors to help you track who's fronting.) No idea if they'll ever reach their Pirate Queen goal, but I'm excited to see how many adventures they get up to in the process.
Plural Tags: abuse not mentioned, cofronting, teamwork, mindsharing, setting-specific, switching
Content Warnings: Sci-fi violence? So far that's it
Accessibility Notes: images, no transcript. Some fast-moving animations
Misc. Notes (if any): The main character has a fictional cybernetics-induced condition in-universe, but the creator just calls it DID in the author's notes, and says it's influenced by their own experience: "The ways the characters navigate their personas, the difficulties they face, and their coping mechanisms, reflect aspects of how people, like myself, grapple with DID." Comic is currently ongoing.
Start reading it here! (EDITOR'S NOTE 2023/11/28 Deleted? WBM back-up here, but the images aren't in order and I have no way to know how complete it is or isn't.) (EDIT 2023/12/14: the archive is incomplete and not backed up. RIP Princess & The System. T_T)
