We know that Ivan's THE yearner that has always his eyes on Till and is convinced that he doesn't care about him

and then during the song its the same thing

all ivan wants is for till to acknowledge him, just to look at him for even one second, give him a second thought- but he cant even do that

so then ivan does the fucking makout/choking sacrifice thing- "oh isnt he a hypocrite for getting mad at sua for doing the same thing?" no, because he was mad at sua because she knew what she would do would hurt mizi because she loved her.

ivan doesnt think sacrificing himself will hurt till, because till will never love him. HE KNOWS THIS AND YET HE STILL SACRIFICES HIMSELF FOR SOMEONE HE THINKS WILL NEVER LOVE HIM

AND EVEN NOW TILL WONT LOOK AT HIM

and then once he's certain till is safe, he gives him one last, real, selfish kiss

a last ditch admission of his love before

till finally looks at him, just too late

Dream 🌧️

to love someone is to turn around.

and like orpheus, ivan would always look back

few parallels between the tragedy of eurydice and orpheus & ivan and till, since listening to hadestown’s wait for me reminded me of ivantill’s meteor shower scene.
