Y'all can't see me rn but I'm punching the air rn

I just realized something.

During his interview, Ivan talks a LOT about doing photoshoots and filming a commercial, as well as all the deals with different brands he has signed and is collaborating with.

So, supposing that all those photos and commercials take time to edit, and therefore wouldn't be published until after Round 6...

Guys, Till is going to walk around and see images of Ivan at every corner, looking at him- but unable to tell that he, at last, is looking back

:(

Edit: I FOUND THE FANART

So. Ivantill.

The sillies

Highschool au ya :D!

[aetheriumstardust]

Honestly?

I hope Till is angry. Angry Ivan didn't kill him. That Ivan left him alive in the world that has shown him nothing but cruelty, abuse and humiliation. A world without Mizi (or so he thinks). Angry Ivan didn't explain himself.

I hope he snaps in the Final Round. I hope he releases his anger and anguish, whether it be on Luka or the aliens themselves. I hope we get to see at least a glimpse of his former, fiery self, one last time, if he is destined to die.

NOOOOO 😭

Luka - deciding on what to wear on round 7 to face Till

I know i say this another but holy shit I think this show really is going to be my 13th reason

uhmm i haven't been seeing a lot of discussion about till aside from his relationships with other competitors and i think it's something that must be addressed because i think among the competitors he's the anomaly.

unlike his peers, Till is nothing special. Ivan is beautiful and talented and so is Mizi, and they're both treated as valuable things by their alien owners because of it. You can see this in the way Ivan's constantly surrounded by attention and food and Mizi's pampered lifestyle pre-alien stage.

but then you get to Till and he's literally just strapped to a medical table. Mizi and Ivan's "foster family" treat them with some degree of humanity, even if it's in the way that humans now treat their beloved house cats. If that's the case, Till's treated as a mildly interesting lab rat.

His owners go lengths to further dehumanize him, and you can see that from the way he's so often muzzled when no one else is. They also quite literally brand him !!

This type of dehumanization in my opinion is also something that contributes to Till's aggressive behavior, because he is constantly in the circumstances that force him to do so.

Till is neither too attractive or too talented at singing, and I'm pretty sure he knows this --- that's why he relied so heavily on the element of gruesome surprise during his first round.

It's also worth mentioning that his unhealthy attachment to the idea of Mizi as some kind of saving grace also reflects on his own perception of himself, as some sinner in need of saving. Whenever he imagines Mizi in the Round 6 video, he is someone tainted in the colors of his captors (red) and sweaty, whereas Mizi is bright and glowing.

He didn't expect to live past round 6, I think that's made pretty clear. His expression isn't one of someone who expects to live (especially when Mizi is now either dead or gone). His expression is of someone defeated.

Another thing about Till is that he felt alone. Ivan loves him, we knows this, but Till doesn't. The few instances we see through Ivan's eyes, his kindness towards Till is either from somewhere Till can't see or when he's unconscious. The only time we see them interact where Till is aware of what's going on is when they're fighting as kids, and their one escape attempt.

As far as I know, Till has nothing to go off of in recent times. The only time that he's touched is by alien captors and scientists, both who see him as less than human. It's easy to be beat down and dehumanized when there is no one around you to humanize you.

No other competitor, from what we've seen, is treated as awfully as Till is treated. His idealization of Mizi stems from delusion, and there is no indication to him now that his ex-best friend Ivan still gives a shit about him.

That changes after the 6th Round though, and Till is so well set up to be a character who gets his entire worldview shattered, with Ivan's final show of affection and Mizi's disconnect from the one he has in his head (symbolized by her cut hair).

Till, a hotheaded human who is nothing special but lived on until the final round through the idealization of one competitor and the sacrifice of another ... the silliest of all time

I can't stand another day in this fandom! All yall do is make me cry!

i don’t recommend rewatching alien stage because you just notice more things like the fact that ivan wiped away till’s tears after the karaoke fiasco

[aetheriumstardust]

An unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

[aetheriumstardust]

I hate these gay mofos. They broke my heart, stole my money and shit on my grave!

losing my shit on how till literally never looks at ivan unless theyre actively fighting, like even in the flashback

and then during the song its the same thing

all ivan wants is for till to acknowledge him, just to look at him for even one second, give him a second thought- but he cant even do that

so then ivan does the fucking makout/choking sacrifice thing- "oh isnt he a hypocrite for getting mad at sua for doing the same thing?" no, because he was mad at sua because she knew what she would do would hurt mizi because she loved her.

ivan doesnt think sacrificing himself will hurt till, because till will never love him. HE KNOWS THIS AND YET HE STILL SACRIFICES HIMSELF FOR SOMEONE HE THINKS WILL NEVER LOVE HIM

AND EVEN NOW TILL WONT LOOK AT HIM

and then once he's certain till is safe, he gives him one last, real, selfish kiss

a last ditch admission of his love before

till finally looks at him, just too late

IM LOSING MY GODDAMN MIND GUYS ISTG

13th.... reason... lord please I can't do this anymore these gays are destroying me

GUYS GUYS

DO YOU THINK THE REASON TILL DOESN'T LOOK AT IVAN IS BECAUSE HE'S ASHAMED OF HIMSELF?

BECAUSE HE RAN AWAY THAT NIGHT? Was he shocked to see Ivan back at Anakt Garden? Did he think he'd just leave without him? Did he put two and two together and realized Ivan gave up his freedom for him?

Does he feel guilt every time he sees Ivan? Does he know how miserable Ivan is? Does he think he's the source of his torment? That Ivan deserves someone who actually loves him? All the while never even thinking of applying said notion to himself?

GUYS DO YOU THINK-

[aetheriumstardust]

You know what's the most amazing thing about all that alnst triangle stuff?

Ivan is on good terms with Mizi

He isn't jealous. He doesn't dislike her. He doesn't try to hurt her or do smth bad for her.

Because he knows she has nothing to do with that.

I adore him sm

[aetheriumstardust]

These two are my 13th reason

I can't stop thinking about the scene where Ivan finds Till and nuzzles his head against his. He was on that banquet for the same reason as Till, most likely went through the same treatment with the only difference being that he doesn't fight it so it will be less painful (but it isn't really)

So i think he not only felt bad about Till but for both of them. I've seen a lot of takes that say he didn't kiss Till because Till was unconscious and he knew that it was wrong after what Till went through, but i think a kiss didn't even occur to him.

He got out of that banquet and immediately looked for Till, perhaps out of just worry but i think he needs that human comfort as well.

His eyes were glassy the moment he looked at Till, he was keeping it together until he saw him.

And then he just... holds him close
