Ivantill - Tumblr Posts
I really, really hope that Ivan gets saved by Mizi. Just so Till gets left behind. So it mirrors that meteor shower scene with Ivan and Till where Till goes back for Mizi but this time it's Mizi and Ivan leaving Till. And Ivan can't go back because of how injured he is. With Ivan having that guilt but not regret over his "last" goodbye. Like how do you say "Hello" to someone you've already said your last "Goodbye" to??? I'd LOVE that outcome. If it doesn't happen, that's fine. most of this is to cope...
I also wanna see Till beat Ivan's ass when he comes back alive. Just like ol' times.
Reposting this from my twitter thread because it hasn't left my head (and adding a tiny bit more).
Seen so many questionable takes lately about the ivantill kiss, and I know everyone is allowed to have different opinions and interpretations but.
No, Ivan didn’t just pretend to kiss Till for the show. And no, he wasn't trying to make Till hate him either or trying to trigger him over his implied SA to snap him into action.
I think the whole point of the scene (confirmed by the creators) is Ivan finally breaking his mask of perfection and control and giving in to his messy, all consuming feelings, being selfish for once.
Yes, by the end before the strangling starts, he appears more clear headed and now focused on the objective of manipulating the score. But he doesn't really look at it until AFTER he starts strangling Till.
The kiss itself wasn't part of the strategy, or at least not entirely something calculated. Ivan could have skipped the kiss and strangled Till right away and gotten the same result.
The fact that he kissed him AGAIN after he started strangling him, more softly and 'personal', almost like a goodbye or an apology (whether for his selfishness or for their past), tells me he wanted it.
I think a last selfish act doesn't diminish the love he had for Till, it just shows the tragedy of ALNST. Ivan is only human after all. And no matter what kind of mask he built for himself and what illusion of control he had over his life, when faced with the real, imminent possibility of losing Till, he crumbled and did something unexpected.
I have more to say about the Ivan and Sua parallels and how he finally understands her in the Confession comic etc etc but I think I've yapped enough.
I just don't like it when people try to mold the narrative because they're uncomfortable with an unconsensual kiss. It's meant to be painful and heartwrenching, a reflection on Ivan's one sided-feelings and his desperation at the moment —to be seen for the first (and last) time, to not be left behind, to convey his emotions in the only way he could when being seconds away from death.
After all the team confirmed that Ivan is clumsy with emotions and only knows to convey them in 'childish' ways (the nuzzling against his face, the picking fights with Till and teasing him).
I think some people like to think of the kiss as something purely calculated and selfless because it makes it more 'palatable', but in my opinion this take washes out Ivan's character and the flaws that make him just as human, vulnerable and complex as the rest of the cast. He was willing to throw away his life and his perfect image because he wanted something that badly.
reposting some stuff from twitter bc i’m tired of people so grossly misinterpreting till’s character…. he doesn’t love ivan back the way ivan loves him and that’s just how things are sometimes, it’s not because mizi is “in the way”. that’s literally part of what makes ivan’s unreciprocated feelings so tragic like the entire POINT is that it’s one sided no matter what and ivan himself is well aware of that too
