#I supposed I hoped that Unsha and Ivan would be similar to Shine and Mizi? Less compassionate of course

Ohhh my god. I love this comparison actually.. I guess I'm thinking about this from a human perspective with human dynamics.. When in reality they are just basically show-dogs to the aliens right?

And I love the comparisons to different dog breeds.. Ivan being the perfect ideal dog, basically a dog with all bark and no bite, until he did. Till being compared to a pitbull.. aughhh.

I suppose I naturally try to see every character I'm introduced to in a good light, unless I can't in some cases (like Urak and Heperu. Those two are horrible. I guess I see Unsha as a lesser evil to those two? Still awful, but he could be worse). I guess it's only natural for me to be grasping at straws of positivity in the kind of story that Alien Stage is. Every shadow has a silver lining, or however that saying goes.

Thank you for your add-on, and don't worry! You didn't come off aggressive, I love hearing other people's thoughts and perspectives <3

Okay it might be just me but does Unsha kind of sound like a disappointed father figure in the interview? Like he sounds almost fond of Ivan?

Like?? He doesn't even pick out Ivan because of his talent, he focused on how different and extraordinary his eyes looked? Could just be because he wanted to impress his wife but you'd want an entertaining pet no? (Also side note Ivan being a Valentine's Day present..)

He was only disappointed? If it were Urak or Herperu who had their pets give up on stage I'd say they'd be pissed. Reminds me of the phrase commonly used by parental figures: "I'm not mad. Just disappointed." Calling Ivan an "ambitious kid" comes off almost endearing?

Something something parents learning from their children. A mentor learning from their student. Or something.

Do you guys think. He's moving on from human pets because. Because he knows there will never be another one like Ivan. Like Ivan is special (to him) in a way?

Then again, you can also take the interview as Unsha talking about Ivan like a business partner. Because that's how they viewed their relationship. But it'd be kind of unheard of having a pet human as an (almost) equal?

(Let me be delusional okay Ivan Unsha father-son relationship PLEASE-)

Edit: Should probably add that I'm not saying Unsha is a GOOD father figure. He reminds me more of a neglectful father. Probably not as abusive as Urak and Heperu, but he definitely pushed Ivan and had high expectations for him (I don't think Ivan would willingly have that daily schedule if it weren't for Unsha's gain).
