ANON I LOVE YOU dont even get me started on this i've been comparing the ivantill kiss & the denreze tongue scene since like r6. i'm not even kidding when i say the firework kiss is my primary frame when it comes to ivan thoughts 😭😭😭 theyre chillingly similar kinds of expression imo i adore ivan & reze so so much. the dynamic of twisted adoration & half formed projection & ugly violence...! you forgive your own existence through this other & give it the parts of you that you have always thought empty & because of the pretense over emptiness the giving is somehow more desperately felt & believed in. reze would do really well in something like alien stage until she burnt up all at once.
