in retrospect it is SO obvious that till was always projecting ivan onto mizi but i just wanna point out some of the discrepancies USING ONLY MV SCREENSHOTS.
in round 2 we get this sequence when he sings "my feelings are Error: no better options" which, i don't think you say that about someone you have a hopeless crush on. what do you mean "no better options," that sounds like you're settling or something. also error??? so you were focused on the wrong person, till??? hmm i wonder what this could be about...
and this one is when he sings "(you'll never know) i don't wanna stop" which... idk! maybe that ivan was never able to know how much he meant to till in his lifetime
anyways this is him fantasizing about mizi, right?? or at least it seems that way. however if you actually look closer, there are some… rather obvious issues…
her hair is wrong. mizi doesn’t have bangs like that. her bangs are more off to the side and not as straight cut across her forehead. also she just has more hair in general?? screenshots from r1
you know who DOES have bangs cut straight across his forehead? ivan. (r3 but also literally every single art of him)
this one is subtler, and also what got me thinking about this in the first place, but her eyelashes are also wrong. mizi doesn't have thick lashes like that.
as you can see, till draws mizi/visualizes mizi with really thick lashes, and all in a clump. in reality, though, her lashes are thinner, and spikier towards the edges. especially her bottom eyelashes.
do i even need to say who has eyelashes like that? it's one of his distinguishing features! (screenshot from wiege)
i feel like i'm beating a dead horse at this point, but anyways. the hands behind the back pose. mizi does not do that. IVAN DOES THAT. (more screenshots from wiege)
also, like, her general pose and body language in the “pass” frame are so so SO reminiscient of ivan. like if you remove the ponytail and glasses that is basically just ivan but with pink hair. till you are NOT subtle at all buddy…
anyways! i think most people are aware by now that till was projecting onto mizi, but maybe never noticed how far back the clues were. they were right there from the start. it's just that we got a little blinded from the story telling us that till has a crush on mizi. (or at least i did lol). alnst is one of those media where you notice new things every time you rewatch and it's really nice to pick up on them
