Please reblog

Australian KOSA is occurring right now

They are banning anyone under the age of sixteen from almost all media sites, including YouTube now.

They are including sites they promised they wouldn’t include

They are using inaccurate face scanning tech that does not accurately know your age

The other option is using government IDs

Neither is wanted.

PAY ATTENTION TO THIS RIGHT NOW. PLEASE JUST FOR A MOMENT

Mizi and Ivan are truly the unreliable narrator duo of all time

On one hand, we have Mizi claiming "I did not love her enough"

On the other hand, we have Ivan claiming "He did not love me in the slightest"

And both of them were so wrong

what ppl defending kids on ipads don’t seem to understand is that there are other ways to keep kids occupied. my mom had a whole bag full of little toys and games for me to play with while waiting in lines at disney world. once your kid is like 7 or 8 they can read a book. they can color. or they can literally just sit there and imagine things. i did that a lot as a kid.

Thoughts on Scars (ALNST)

I was up tweaking until like 3am waiting for the translations for this comic to finally drop so now I just got to get my thoughts down lmao

As always this isn't meant to be a super deep analysis, just somewhere for me to lay out my personal thoughts and opinions and analyses

TW: self-harm and other trauma-related responses

~~~

The way that this is drawn out gives the idea that Till was reluctant to leave Ivan's body and had to be physically dragged away from it... vivimeng do you want me to jump

~~~

IVAN BEING THE FIRST THING THAT TILL SEES WHEN HE WAKES UP EUGH

But there's also a really interesting contradiction happening here, Till says that Ivan's the person he doesn't want to see and yet he's the one that's actively imagining him being there :O

~~~

Welcome to the unreliable narrator club, Till!!!!!!!

This fucks me up so bad bro omg </3 we know Ivan would never say anything like that to Till, we know he would never look at him with that sneer, and yet this is how Till imagines he would </3

This Ivan is a manifestation of Till’s grief and guilt

~~~

The fact that Ivan wholeheartedly believed Till would never see him, would never even spare him a glance, and yet here we see that after he's gone Till is unable to look away from him for days at a time

Sickening </3

~~~

Oh they make me so sick

This kiss is very obviously a reflection of Till's survivor's guilt, grief, and trauma. The way that Till doesn't actively initiate it and yet doesn't exactly fight back against it and kinda just lets it happen gives me the idea that he views this trauma as some kind of punishment that he deserves

Interestingly to me though is that despite both this kiss and the one from round 6 appearing forced, this Ivan that Till sees in his mind still asks for consent here :O

~~~

This was a very important part of the comic to me

Before this comic dropped I assumed Till became mute because of the injuries to his throat, and while I'm sure that's still part of the case (no way in hell are his vocal chords completely unscathed after getting shot in the neck) this shows that his mutism is also partly caused by his trauma :O

As someone who's selectively mute myself I find this bittersweet and conflicting because on one hand I see a lot of myself in Till and this makes me relate to him even more but at the same time I feel a lot of sympathy for him and his tragedy </3

His trauma weighs down on him so deeply to the point of silencing him

~~~

Here's a scene that I want to give a few clarifications for

Yes, Till is shown to be speaking here but I still think he's more-or-less entirely mute (shown through his speech bubbles being completely black and the fact that he's only shown speaking to his imaginary Ivan)

I also don't think this is an Ivan ghost per-se but rather a hallucination or otherwise only existing in Till's imagination

As for this, I fear the Ivan-assaulted-Till believers are going to run with this </3 I don't know Korean but I've spoken to a few people who say that the translations for this comic are a bit wonky here and there and that this particular dialogue translates closer to "it's touching to be thinking of the old times" or something along those lines

~~~

OH I'M GONNA BE SICK

I think this is Till finally acknowledging the feelings he's had for Ivan all along and feeling the guilt of not having been able to tell him sooner </3

And this is also the first instance we see of Till's self-harm

Before this I believed that the scars on Till's neck came from him being shot there or perhaps the removal of his brand but now we see that they were self-induced </3 the "here we go again" is especially heartbreaking to me

~~~

This moment is soooooo important to me

IvanTill's whole thing is that they're doomed by miscommunication, that perhaps their love could've bloomed if only they'd had the time to understand each other, and it appears to me that that's finally happening now after it's already too late

The surprise on Till's (and Ivan’s) face, the red in his pupil (and I think it's worth pointing out that the red pupils in both Ivan and Till are the only color in the entire comic)

It's sooooo tragic and I know there's no happy ending to this story but it gives me hope that we'll at least finish to see Ivan and Till finally understand each other (or at least Till understanding Ivan) and Till finally being able to accept and acknowledge his feelings and leave his past behind <3
