i don't like that lion trying to force alcohol upon someone who, very clearly, said he doesn't imbibe — speaking as an abstainer, myself

i don't find anything even remotely entertaining about drinking myself silly: and, even less, waking up with a hangover the next day

---

what i wanted to touch upon, a few pages back was..

..i don't mean to cause you offense, fratello, but i'm kinda not seeing why people make such a big deal over snow — in the realm of an Adult Entertainer, anyway

i mean.. ..snow is alright, but i know i (probably) wouldn't be fawning over hi[s human equivalent]

(if snow's human proxy were to offer me his company, i'd likely accept
{i'd not go out of my way for it, though})

even alan catches my eye (slightly-)more


yet, never-the-less: snow seems to be getting regaled with something of a Royal—(if superficial)—Treatment

enough to warrant a fanbase



which is fine and good...
...i know that being attractive tends to come with perks — i just feel sorry for all the people who didn't get to win the genetic lottery, in that regard

i'm one such [loser], WTC:
my lottery result is such that, on so many levels, do i feel like my very own body (and mind) fights against itself

each.
and every.
Single.
Day.

some people get to just be themselves, and be adored by the world, with little or no effort.


it sucks..
..it sucks, knowing that for all intents-and-purposes, i am more \ less disposable trash

---

yet, here we have snow

snow: who's adored by the world...
...and even he "goes through it."

his own heart, long-rent asunder

an apt demonstration, that even gods are not above enduring Tribulations & Trials

Do take note...

What we see throughout the comic is that Snow is being adored for his work as a 'model' and a '(porn)star'. Snow has even showcased that he is not able to be himself. It is how the STUDIO portrays him forward.
And as White, he can showcase emotions, be more sturdy with his own inner self.

Snow is not as assertive, he is a product due to his good looks.
White is assertive, but is being overlooked due to 'his looks'.

And where Alan sees past this, sees White as more over time, as a person he can relate to. It will be interesting to see how Alan reacts to Snow.

Being beautiful has its perks and its demons. And for Snow it is being a commodity. A symbol, two of his coworkers would fuck him no doubt if given the chance. Yet with White they show not a disgust, but a disinterest. Eventhough in terms of inner, both Snow and White are the same. White just is able to show it more than Snow.

You both did a nice analysis and, for this, I thank you and I am honoured.

However: let's not forget that this is ONLY a comic. It is an invented story, which takes place in a world with its own laws of physics, which shares nothing with the real world, except the elements that place it on Earth and not on an alien world.

This for me is very important to keep my feet on the ground and not let the standards of beauty and the vision of the gay world as they are represented in this comic (and I would say in all comics) interfere in real life.

^__^

oh.

trust me.

i am too grounded in reality to ever forget where i am or what i am consuming.


you need not fear for me in that regard mon'fratello.

you're welcome


i wasn't sure how well you'd receive my analysis

(which, for me, was important to get off of my chest)

(i mixed white and snow up

i know snow and white are distinct entities {or "personas," if you will}..

..i just...

...didn't "bother" to commit whom? was which?


{i tried, though!}


i blame my traumatic brain injury for it

hopefully, the skeleton of what i wanted to convey, was conveyed?)


i wonder how, exactly, did white get hooked into this business, anyway?
(i forget..)

Of course! And I enjoyed responding to it.

It is interesting to theorise on an artist their world and view!

don't go there...it's a FREAKING TRAP SINCE THE BEGINING!!!

Nobody escapes lion traps, right? XD

unless I throw him in the trash outside...LOL
