I think this round might be my favorite one from the whole series. Ivan's pain, the lyrics, the animation, colours, instruments and just everything. The singer did an amazing job at portraying Ivan's emotions so well. This actually hurts to listen to, yet I can't stop because it's so good

[@catchthesedreams92]

2:46 In that moment, when Ivan saw Til running back to their alien captors, all because he couldn’t leave Mizi behind, all because he chose Mizi over him and _freedom_ itself, his face looks like he’s thinking, “Yeah. You would do that.” Because that kind of tenacity and stubborn devotion despite all the odds stacked against Til is why he fell in love with the boy. It just hurts because it will never be for him.

[@kudasel]

But also Mizi loved the girl from her video so she’d never love Til either which also hurts. I just want all of them to be happy but unfortunately that won’t be the case T3T

[@peachbunnii]

aw man... just realized that one of the ways the alien oppressors kept control over their human pet contestants was to have them form genuine bonds and friendships in childhood so that they would be reluctant to escape without them... because it's easier to escape on your own VS the much more impossible task of saving your friends. Such an effective but insidious method of control..

Ivan's face when he watches Till running back to their captors is so heartbreaking. Like he expected this from Till, and worse yet, he knows he himself will run after him. Adoration and frustration culminating in a sad, resigned longing.

[@flamingaish]

fav moment

[@chuckiechil]

*proceeds to sob*

[@uwu-chan]

this lore is literally tearing me apart 😭

[@99bottlesofwine]

Ivan's backstory as I understand it is: - he was owned by an abusive merchant (the alien who held him over the edge of the roof) - you can see them auction him off when there's that blue square behind him (you can see the other kids next in line, as well as an alien holding a mic), -he gets bought and pampered by a rich alien (we see rich alien at 2:12; the hand matches the hand that was on our boy at 1:12, he just doesn't look as big because he's next to other big aliens) - he gets shown off to the rich alien's other rich friends (he's holding what looks like an award or maybe that's the invitation to join the singing camp/boarding school) - he was put by rich alien in Anakt Garden, a singing boarding school (which seems to be a required prerequisite to joining the ALIEN STAGE contest. Can't join the contest otherwise) -Till and Mizi accidentally run towards an exit(?)/forbidden area when they were chasing a flower crown that got blown by the wind--a guard dog alien beats Till up. - he's amazed as Till FIGHTS BACK against the alien (compared to himself whose always been passive), and probably continued to be amazed by Till's continued rebellion beyond this point. - inspired by Till, he later tries to escape and run away with him during a meteor shower as his first act of rebellion, but Till presumably doesn't wanna leave Mizi behind and goes back. - our boy laughs bittersweetly and heads back as well since his inspiration + love + reason for trying to escape in the first place just went back.

[@omumafu6346]

[@egg8924]

OOO WOW and what if he was inspired by till and thus fought back for the first time (rebelling and letting till free) but it didnt go as planned 😰

[@Stonepeb]

Omg I love you for noticing the auction, I completely missed it

[@Stonepeb]

Also I would like to point out something at 2:28 when till woke up he saw the screen of Ivan winning and then a flashback the lyrics went like this: “Such black, black sorrow And you, you are always for me Black sorrow To me you are Black sorrow To me you are Black sorrow” => the entire time during these lines Ivan was pointing at most likely Till. He also let his emotions slip when it comes to directly confronting Till at 2:47 and then tried to composed himself

[@denesserazalo1776]

your interpretation seems very spot on!

[@cookiemuch4]

I love how this video actually confirms a previous theory! During this song, Ivan allows another person to sing, meaning the whole time the songs are meant to be sung by sections by each person. This means the white hair dude (2nd video) took up all the song time. Whilst the 2 girls sung their song together as a duet to try and trick the system into getting the same score (and failed), which makes me wanna cry more :((

[@nightmareflame101]

Also the fact that like... He sounds like he's already planning to die. He's literally hanging on for Till, but knows it's either going to end with him dying to save Till if he is pitted against him, or dying in grief because Till lost to someone else. The minute Till turned back in that field of meteors, Ivan was on borrowed time.

[@Jocelyn-wx6zp]

tbh i didnt expect myself to be this attached to ivan. When he was first introduced in the alien stage trailer i thought that he's the smooth and manipulative type of character. But looking at his round i somehow find him quite relatable. He might seems quite apathetic but he's actually just bottling up his feelings, his love and admiration for till, and his sorrow...

[@SCP-2295]

this exactly. this is also why i kinda hope he doesn't become smooth/manipulative during the stage with till the way some people are theorizing in the comments. i think it would be more heartbreaking and more accurate to what we can glean of him from this video to not want to battle till.

[@anamariamalo]

Yes, I also had the first impression that he was some sort of antagonist. But on the contrary, he seems to be the most talented and smart. His poker face is more of a survival skill than anything.

[@Gaylanwangji]

Ivan is so precious. He deserves more love and attention

[@effera]

I like how Till's song ends with drums whereas Ivan's starts with them, as if one was meant to be a continuation of the other, like Till's rebellion could only naturally result in Ivan's yearning. I think the power of this song comes from the bitter-sweet irony of their dynamic. At first, we see that Ivan, despite his situation, still longed for freedom, even if it meant the end of everything, symbolised by the shooting stars that may shine brightly and beautifully while they run through the dark sky, but are still fated to crash in the most destructive way. Yet, his will seemed to disappear slowly as time went by, he became numb, years of use and abuse turned him into a singing puppet traded and paraded by his masters. Until he crossed path with Till, who unapologetically kept his free spirit and fighting will despite the punishments and the risks for his very life (though we can easily guess that his only saving grace is his value as a singer). Ivan could only fall for him, the embodiment of his repressed desires, to the point of trying to save him and run away together. And we can see that both of them seem truly happy, maybe for the first time since a long time, while a rain of meteors crashes around them, the culmination of this freedom they were after, knowing that could cost them their life if they are found out before managing to leave. But then a realisation hits Till, most likely the fact that he can't stand leaving Mizi behind even if it means giving up his only chance of realising his dream of freedom. And Ivan, understanding that the person he saw as his symbol of hope not only loved someone else enough to stay in a place he hated, but also turned out to be a willing prisoner because of the very feelings that gave him the will to fight, can only smile bitterly yet longingly: it didn't change how he felt for Till, and he too found himself unable to run away without him. The tenderness and resignation of his gaze at this moment is such a masterpiece of artistry that every time I watch it my stomach is tied in knots and I have a lump in my throat 😭 In the end the shooting star rain he dreamt about all his life only resulted in a black sorrow for him,and the fact that he knows he will have to compete against Till in the next round makes everything even more heartbreaking This one is definitely my favourite in the series so far. While "My Clematis" was the last love song of two lovers who wanted to share this final moment and "Unknown - 'til the end" was a declaration of both love and war no matter the consequences, Ivan's song is the pinnacle of everything that makes Alien Stage so fascinating, it's a tale of tragedy, of an unrequited love, an unattainable dream and a fate none of them can fight against. Yet they all give their best, to give a meaning to their performances, to take this chance to express the things they could never express before... I think I'm gonna cry lmao

[@hel2727]

bro... you made me cry even more 😭 how did I only now realise Ivan, just like Till, also came back to the place he hated to be with the one he can't leave behind? damn... also I wonder what heartbreaking story the character at the end is going to have 😀

1:27 Till was chasing the flower Head band Mizi gave to Sua or Sua gave to Mizi (I dont remember), he is chasing it just cuz its somehow related to Mizi. GAWWD IM CRYING

[@katwillow6364]

its fascinating how all of them are just kind of... unaware of each other. like, in round one, we're only shown the girls and their friendship and how much they mean to one another. in Till's song, all of the memories he's focusing on to sing are about Mizi and i don't think we even see Ivan. which is weird considering Ivan literally broke them both out of whatever prison they were in and tried to *free* them both from captivity. and in Ivan's song, he sees Till and Mizi, but in the beginning, he didn't take an interest in Till until he saw him rebel. Ivan was more or less just going through the motions, resigned to his imprisonment. he only took notice of Mizi at all because Till liked her it's just so interesting how it appears like they were all raised/imprisoned together but all of their stories hardly intertwine, only focusing on one other person at most despite the fact that there are so many other kids around them

[@effera]

If you take into account the fact that they most likely know from the begining that they will have to fight against each other in a competition where the losers will die, it's quite obvious they either weren't encouraged to form deep relationships or they ended up by themselves avoiding getting too close to people who could potentially become their opponent. That makes the only person they can't help gravitating towards (reciprocally or not) even more so special, I guess

Ivans facial expressions are also very sad you can tell how much emotion he has bottled up when it comes to Till. Everything is so bittersweet 😭 People might be like what if Ivan dies for Till but what if its the other way around, Ivan has become so obsessed with not being able to control him and have him so he ends up taking Tills life into his own hands since he feels he can gain a sense of control and longing over Till… their characters are so chiefs kiss….

At 1:35, Ivan has to wait until his opponent is done singing for himself to start, so the competition is probably set so that each person gets their own spotlight singing before the voting is done. This is intresting because if this is the case, then both Mizi and Til technically broke the rules of the Alien Stage competition. Mizi singing at the same time as Sua (not taking separate turns), and Til not giving his opponent a chance to sing at all.

[@xin0206]

it confirms everyone's speculation from the last two videos! Mizi and Sua wanted to win together and break the system somehow, so they sang in duo. which is why Mizi was so shocked when Sua died; she wasnt expecting to be the sole winner. and Till didn't let his opponent sing, not just because Til sang the whole thing, but because he wasnt singing the song that they were supposed to sing, so his opponent didnt know how to join in

[@dandanthedandan7558]

I was wondering why Til's song was only 2 minutes long. That was cause he literally only sang half his song before killing his opponent. That also explained why his opponent was surprised when he walked forward first, cause he was supposed to sing second but he's not allowing any chances from the beginning. What a nice attention to detail

[@gaarakag]

@@dandanthedandan7558 i think it was confirmed that rather than killing his opponent himself (altho since he won the other dude probably got killed regardless) the guitar was another ailen hence the guts and blood - imo tils goal was probably just to get the other dude to shut up so he wouldnt have the chance to start singing

I think the shooting stars show up as imagery to symbolize ivan realizing how beautiful and special life is/when he feels alive (when he nearly dies (0:34), when he sees Till for the first time fighting (1:53 - 2:03 ) vs when he's showed in adoration and rewards but feels nothing (1:11 - 1:15)) but when Till pulls away from him, we see shooting stars for what they really are. Burning hunks of rock that rain destruction down upon where they hit. And maybe that shift in visuals is meant to represent Ivan realizing the brutality of the life he's stuck in and feeling sorrow (when Till rejects him) compared to the apathy he usually feels for everything. And maybe the shooting stars represent him as a whole. From a distance, they are cool, otherworldly and beautiful, but in truth they are fire-ensconced destruction just like how Ivan looks so serene and alien from the outside but he's really burning up inside and for Till EDIT: okay subtitles are on now so I have additions. I guess from the lyrics, Ivan sees himself as the inky darkness and Till as the shining light and that Till's brightness and liveliness further highlights how empty Ivan is, especially since Ivan cannot reach out to him (0:50-1:00). Ivan is aware that he and Till can never have a happy ending, that there is NO happy ending for this story. So alternative interpretation: the meteor showers represent Till to Ivan. Till is the shiny light in in the darkness of Ivan's existence. The more Ivan sees Till, the greater the emptiness of Ivan's life deepens in contrast. Furthermore--going with the Till is the meteor shower theory--that's why there can be no happy ending, why there is only "a cold spot stained in blood", because while meteors are beautiful while they burn, they eventually burn out. Till cannot burn forever; he is fated to burn out into a cold husk. His life, his fight, is beautiful and shocking but ephemeral at best. The traits that Ivan loves Till for are the very same traits that will ensure their story's tragic ending. For at that Till makes Ivan feel alive, Ivan seems certain that he will be the only one alive at the end. also just the fact that Ivan only seems to feel emotion when he faces death is something notable (0:50 over the edge, 1:53-2:01 witnessing the monster dog, 2:08 on the stage singing to live)

i like how ivan seeing till run back after they escape directly parallels their first meeting, where ivan follows till from curiosity and inevitably later on as he follows from his newfound love and attachment towards him. like he's forever destined to follow till, now more than ever as he immediately turns around after noticing till's ran back the constant flickering from ivan witnessing till fight back and thinking back to the meteor shower, is honestly so nicely done. ivan's constant focus on the meteor shower symbolizes his yearning for freedom, and alike the desire for the meteors is his infatuation with till. unfortunately, even if he did escape, ivan would've had no means of surviving in that world as a kid against aliens, ultimately his yearning fot freedom is simply an unlikely dream just like how his desire for till is too - seeing till run back presumably because he couldn't leave mizi (pink hair girl) made him realize that. he yearns for till like he yearns for meteors/freedom, these are two things he knows he cannot have.

So far, we can tell that Ivan loves the stars, and I think that was made clear in the teaser I suppose. Ivan most prolly likes Till bc of Till's rebellious nature and his curious mind, and I think that's bc Ivan never really had that chance....he never had that chance to rebel due to the way he was treated by the aliens. In Ivan's video, we do learn more about the nature of the aliens and other "members." I think in the part where Ivan and Till run away, Till's infatuation with Mizi stopped him from running away, (I also believe that the meteor shower was supposed to be a distraction).

I cannot express how much i love the way vivinos represent feelings, it hits really different from a simple "I'm sad", ivan appreciating life and the world he lives in, then realizing how harsh and brutal it is, and that the stars he grew to love were nothing but burning meteors, how everything clicked when till rejected him, till knew how fucked up their world is, so he fights against it, and that made ivan admire him considering ivan never fought against it, he even was ok with dying as we saw, he was like a puppet that played nice, and although not necessarily showing appreciation for being showered with attention, but also didn't protest against it, this is truly a masterpiece as usual vivinos!

So from this, we can definitely say that the girls and Till rebelled. In the first video, the girls sang together to try and get the same score and live while Till stole the show. It seems like Ivan is more passive and he knows he's going to win, so he plays by the rules.

[@yoonspiano2515]

2:45 - 2:46 that expression on Ivan's face changed something on my brain chemistry.. like it hurts so much that Till is not looking at his way ever but he is also expecting that attitude from him since that Till is the one he is in love with and this fact somehow gives a joy to him, in this essay i will -

Okay I gotta comment too- I’ve been rewatching it so many times. The amount of emotions there is in the voices of each singer is incredible. It rips my heart open when Ivan sings the last part of the song, basically screaming “Black Sorrow”. The same goes for Round 6 where Till’s voice has this shake in it the whole time. I’m really on my knees, jaw on the floor as I listen to these. 🧎‍♂️

저렇게 활짝웃는 틸은 처음이라 뭐랄까.. 이반 시선의 틸은 저렇게 강인하고 사랑스럽구나.. 마지막에 손을 놓고 다시 돌아가는 장면에서도 배신당했다는 감정보다는 그저 슬플뿐이라.. 얼마나 틸을 사랑하는지 느껴짐

미지에게 수아가 신이었듯이 이반에게 틸은 사랑 그 이상의 신 같은 존재가 아닐까라는 생각이 드네요ㅠ 커뮤에 올라온 강연자가 참가를 거부하고 있다는 공지 때문에 이반과 틸의 대전이 어떻게 될지 아직은 잘 모르겠지만 만약에 둘이 붙게 된다면 이반은 틸과 함께 무대에 설 수 있다는 것만으로 행복해하며 틸이 우승하도록 일부러 져줄 것 같아서 눈물만 질질..

everything from the design of ivan is really amazing like you can see how his despair turns to astonishment upon seeing the night sky in the outer galaxy which gradually turns to hope and while being with till as well, i just love this and hope some miracle happen in their showdown and no one dies even tho i know that's just wishful thinking

[@lxy4451]

(Cried*) 😭

[@Alicapy]

Okay whoa, it's finally here! I'm sure other people dissected the video better than me. Still, I would like to mention the overwhelming emotions in Ivan from 2:45 -2:51 . That was SO gorgeous and really proved that Ivan has the control to switch back to apathy, regardless of the circumstance. This makes me a bit worried, though, because his eventual battle against Till could very likely end up with him dying for Till because of his strong emotions towards Till and his seemingly smooth "switch" from emotional to apathetic. Not to mention, he has even more incentive to die in regards to rebellion against the expectations of his supposed abusive "owner." And not to further mention, It's even more heartbreaking when you realize that Ivan has such a deep, unrequited love for Till, conveyed PERFECTLY by the bittersweet/bitter tone. The interpersonal relationships between the characters make me scared for the ending at this point, I just KNOW that I'm gonna cry lol. And hi to that little peek of Luka towards the end

[@robozams]

😨 I never considered that Ivan could die as an act of rebellion!!! He could even die to keep his owner from reaping the benefits of winning the competition D: omg

I can't help but think that's exactly why it'll be Ivan that wins the round instead. The only thing worse than sacrificing yourself like that for someone you love, is for it to fail.

[@etcetera5605]

Manifesting myself an Ivan villain arc 🙏🛐 I'm hoping that "at the end of this story there is only a cold spot stained with blood and such black, black sorrow…to me you are black sorrow" means this song is a twisted eulogy to Till, who he has every intention of defeating. Like, that lightless empty glare at the end? I'm putting money down that that's him giving up on Till. Ivan would PEAK as a petty seductive villain. Distracting Till, stealing his and the audiences attention, and undermining Till's previous domination of the stage. Even if he loses, I will be so satisfied if it's an actual struggle, and he finally gains Till's acknowledgement.

[@MarineSelena]

Omg I would love that too, I could also be happy if Ivan is submissive in the stage at first accepting defeat for Till but Till starts struggling remembering his friend and gets weak, Ivan then starts to get frustrated and mad by this since it isn't like Till and ends up destroying Till almost in destructive way leaving him empty or something like that idk I just feel that Till vs Mizi is way too predictable 😓 Plus I feel something weird is bound to happen because there's also that tan girl who was shown as a character in here yet it hasn't appeared a single time, meaning that blonde girl/guy will probably be against someone else, which opens to the possibility of more things, imagine another case were both Till and Ivan die together? idk It's so fun to speculate

[@thuyBui-ot3vi]

I dont think he will give up Till, maybe that was just a look because maybe he knows Till might never love him the same way Ivan loves him but i think Till will realize that ivan loves him

[@liben5052]

@@MarineSelena there was a post by vivinos saying "one of the competitors refuses to participate" which could be hyuna(?) or luca, but likely hyuna since luca looks like he's in a waiting room (we saw in the opening she was distracted by something in a hallway and might have run off/generally seems apathetic to the situation). i also wonder if till will come up with a plan to handicap ivan so if he goes up against mizi, he'll be at a disadvantage at the very least. it's very fun going back and forth from ivan and till's performances and comparing just how different they are- till is completely burning up with only one destination in mind, but ivan is like a dirge obsessed with the past. i wonder if they really could escape, or if they would have died another way albeit free for just a moment.
