about ALIEN STAGE

Webseries by VIVINOS avaiable on her Youtube channel (other official links: Twitter/X & Website). It is set in a world where aliens have taken control and humans are seen as pets, rather than important beings. During the course of the series we see the 50th edition of the Alien Stage "death match audition", where pet-humans who came from the ANAKT Garden compete against each other in a singing battle, resulting in the loser's death.

--------
Ivan grew up in the slums and was adopted by his guardian, Unsha, as a gift for his wife on Valentine's Day (in fact, Ivan doesn't have a birthday, but an adoption day - and it's 14th Feb). As much as he might look bright on the outside, Ivan hides a very complex mix of sorrows in his heart, mainly for his belief that he's unlovable and destined to live like that for the rest of his life - feelings that emerge pretty well in two of his solo songs: Black Sorrow and Nowhere.
During his time in ANAKT Garden, he was described as a quiet kid that later on managed to make friends [X]; however, such connections were never really that deep and many of his classmates saw him as too perfect or unreachable/hard to approach [X], resulting in the formation of a strong one-sided attachment to Till. His love for Till follows his pessimistic view of the world: he's aware of Till's love for Mizi, yet he doesn't seem to mind, because he's convinced nothing he'll ever do will change that; even when they tried to escape the Garden together, once Till let go of his hand because he didn't want to leave Mizi behind, he did not react at all. Rather, he smiled, like he had been practicing at the pond to appear more normal amongst the other kids.
Up until his very last moments, he was fully convinced that Till wouldn't have even cared if he died [X] - and that's why he decided to take such a drastic decision.

His feelings for Till have also been shown to be unhealthy and twisted, with Ivan wishing to be a "parasite" that could live inside the boy, who would then become his "private paradise", as we can see in his sub song Paratise. This somewhat became reality, however, once he died - Ivan's memory haunted Till for a while after the events of Round 6 happened: first it was Luka's manipulation during Round 7 [X], then his hallucinations once Till got rescued by the rebellion after the events of KARMA [X].
In the end, gladly, Till was able to clear his head and gain some peace of mind, "shutting down" Ivan's ghost [X].
