The Boy King

My life summarized by a blog

[alanaisalive]

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.

“I’ll leave,” he says, and he turns back and leans in, “as soon as you tell me to leave.”

- Alex, Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

So March is the birthday month for both Alex and Henry, and rather than do separate art for each, I held a wee poll on Twitter to see what scene people wanted to see drawn out most in hopes I could combine my efforts and do a comic adaptation of it. When this moment of the book won by a landslide, I instantly knew I was going to pay for my folly. This scene was a beast to draw and took the entire month to paint thanks to a) royal bedroom, b) soaking wet Alex, c) nighttime lighting, and d) ANGST FACES.

But hey! I hunkered down and pulled it together right under the wire. I hope you enjoy how this came out. ❤️💙

getting older is all about getting weirder and sexier and more perverted and gluttonous and intelligent and blunt and eloquent and spontaneous and skilled. i love that for us.

“Rubber bullets were designed for ricochet fire” is a nice and convenient lie but it’s still a lie.

[transhuman-priestess]

Not to get all “the purpose of a system is what it does” on main but the purpose of a system is what it does and rubber bullets maim people while obfuscating the issue just enough to sound plausibly deniable to disengaged liberals.

[transhuman-priestess]

Nobody who was involved in designing, marketing, distributing, training, and using these things actually thinks they’re going to use them this way. It’s a legal fiction. You see shit like this all the time with police equipment. Like how the company that makes tasers fabricated an entire fake medical condition so they could say people were killed by “excited delirium” instead of having high voltage AC passed through their bodies repeatedly.

It’s the cop equivalent of “for tobacco use only.” Don’t do their PR for them.

I know gringos as usual are a bit unaware of the rest of the world, but this already happened in Chile in 2019-2020. The biggest spontaneous wave of protests of the last decades broke demandin for better conditions of living and the right wing government at the time replied by committing the most serious, generalised and systematic human rights violations since our CIA backed fascist dictatorship. And guess what, the police (or pacos as we called them) used rubber bullets to enact this repression. More than 400 people lost one or both eyes due to these things

United Healthcare getting sued by its investors, because it didn't warn them that the CEO getting murdered (by the tendrils of their unmitigated greed) was going to lead to them approving more claims (for covered services that they had no right to deny) is a cartoonish example of exactly why their CEO got murdered.

Their argument is essentially "You promised us a specific profit margin that is not possible to achieve under this increased public scrutiny of your unethical practices. We only agreed to invest because of those unethical practices. So we demand compensation because you didn't warn us that you'd be behaving more ethically"

And idk. Satire isn't just dead. We've pissed on its corpse and now it's dissolving in lye.

I will be 70 years old and I still will never have gotten over the time the Mythbusters used a rocket powered steel wall to - and I use this word as literally as possible - vaporize an entire car into red mist

If you haven’t seen this episode of Mythbusters I feel so bad for you because “What car?” remains to this day as a defining moment of my adolescence and my entire life
