Umineko is one of my favorite pieces of media atm because it takes the age old question of "what lies beyond the layers of metanarrative" and bravely answers with "lesbians spitting in each others' mouths"

If only Ivan had ever been honest with Till, like, fucking hell. Then again, it isn’t as if Till was completely forthright with Ivan either but he wears his emotions on his face, he’s so much easier to read. Now, I cant help but read Till’s revulsion in Round 6 (to Ivan kissing him) as instinct, Till is flinching away, he’s surprised, he doesn’t know what’s happening, what is Ivan doing? Ivan reads that as hatred, as anger, because of course he does but if anything, it’s confusion, desperation to get free and demand an answer.
Till’s immediate reaction to most things is shock/confusion, and he defaults to fight over flight or freeze. He has a slow reaction time, it takes him a minute to fully understand something (which I can relate to) and so he’s not the fastest on his feet even if he’s fucking smart. Ivan reads that lack of immediacy as hesitation because for him, it is, he’s quick witted and it doesn’t take him very long to formulate any kind of plan.
In today’s comic, Till’s immediate reaction to Ivan's question is confusion and horror. Then, as he processes the information, he calms and placates Ivan with the concept of a birthday kiss, likely because they both know that Ivan doesn’t have a birthday. Ultimately, he’s distracted, annoyed by Ivan for being unwilling to give it up, and he doesn’t give much weight to Ivan’s words. But oh my fucking god, he isn’t opposed. To be honest, I think Till just assumes Ivan is joking because “oh that’s just how Ivan is, it doesn’t mean anything” but it does because Ivan is a fucking moron.
I can’t read Ivan and Till’s love as anything other than mutual, now. I mean, of course, Ivan is romantically, head over heels hopeless in love with Till but, Till loves Ivan too, and I don’t think it’s familial or even fully platonic. I think Till could have loved Ivan in the way Ivan wanted, if Ivan had given him the chance. If Ivan actually talked to him about it like a normal person, they could’ve actually had something. Can you imagine? If Ivan had said something instead of just dancing around it for infinity, they could’ve been happy.
But they never got that chance. Because Ivan didn’t think that was in the cards for him, because Till was too blind to see what was right in front of him, they are both doomed to die alone.
