⌨️ for mr boba? or your poly if u wanna put em all in one !!! -mars :3

(hehe thank you hiii mars @kiss-alien :3 i'm doing all three individually as a treat)

[song rec for all three: "ride like the wind" - christopher cross]

i'm just a simple man making his way through the galaxy

boba's so space vaquero <3 i like to think he's a little old-style but also kind of laid back despite his cocky cowboy attitude? also the banthas because he's canonically a big sucker for those and i love that for him :) i also wanted this to feel a little retro and old because he feels so old man to me even when he's not an old man yet for most of the story i have for him

i hear you're looking for me

sintas is such an interesting character to me, specifically in the story i've written for her. she's been on the run for over 20 years trying to survive the past, and she finds herself eventually back in her old life. all she wanted to do was protect her daughter from the target boba had accidentally put on the family's back, but ironically now she finds herself safe in the arms of her past lover again after aimlessly running for so long (physically and emotionally)

the galaxy is a dangerous place to be on your own

fennec is driven by her sense of companionship and loyalty. after boba saved her life and essentially granted her a second chance, she never left his side since that moment. she's fearless, she's ruthless, and by god is she bold and brave. she's both the one in charge and the right hand man if that makes sense

i. can't remember your f/os... nu metal for whoever you're most fixated on rn? - @kiss-alien <3

nu metal: does f/o communicate more with words or actions? how about s/i?

Shi.shido is an actions guy. He's pretty mouthy and can lead a conversation when needed, but his actions do betray what how he really feels.

I think it's the same for my s/i. They have a loud persona that helps with dealing with their adversaries, and even even private they tend to never speak very seriously. So their actions have to show how they really feel.

Dear God, won't you look at me? Even for a moment, won't you let me pretend you're mine?

I want Luka to believe Till is absolutely broken and depressed but Till casually walks onto the scene and blows everyone up with the most heavy metal song ever

[walleeli]

Ivan is only allowed tenderness when Till isn’t conscious. Every other interaction between them is marked by violence (anything is better than nothing at all.)

Sua, watching Ivan actually walk up and kiss Till on stage before dying: man what the hell. fuck you.

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.

[OLD ART ALERT] A COLLECTION OF SCENES FROM THE GILLIONS CATSCRATCH ARC THAT BROUGHT ME GREAT JOY. i love fishy chips especially when its just gillion being delirious and violent and hostile

[frogayyyy]

nothing keeps me more motivated to stay alive than imagining the banger memes on actual first contact day

[crustyfloor]

their fucking expressions urghhhh the fact that Till doesn't even look grossed out- just upset, confused, looking as if on the verge of a breakdown and Ivan looks so determined but distant from it all....it seems so mechanical in the way Ivan is pulling Till back into the kiss, and his face looking so impassive during it all because there is no actual feel to it for him URGH
