I need to write an in depth thing about my ship dynamic but essentially, Ivan is more empathetic than patrick, sweeter, and is much more experienced in the world of murder. Surprisingly. He knew 100% what he was getting into with Patrick. Their first meeting wasn't exactly romantic. Ivan thinks it is, of course. He loves a guy who takes you home and attempts to stab you to death but breaks down crying instead.
He finds partick to be incompetent. Silly. Distasteful in his remarks on women, homeless, animals, Wallstreet and so on. But works with him instead (usually). He finds his murderous fantasies and disgusting jokes hilarious and patrick finds ivans background intoxicating. They both understand eachother on some level. Though he really does worry about patricks mental health and tries his best to help.
The two have a lot of internal rage and self hate and racing thoughts.
Ivan loves teasing and rage baiting and saying disgusting things in return to patrick its hilarious π
I didnt make ivan for patrick or for shipping in general (hes a 10 yr old oc) but me and my friends thought they fit together so wellll
