+sorry for the immense amount of abbreviations in my ask/ted talk/whatever that was, just picture me desperately speedtalking at you within the limitations of rs's 512 character limit ♡

no worries, luv~ y'all know how much i love to yap. 💓

i think my thing is. till is never intentionally bratty! 😂 ivan just really really knows how to push his buttons (which is only possible because ivan studies till like a 24/7 science experiment. he's naturally short-tempered about plenty when we see him pre-r6 and ivan just makes him worse. however, i actually think he'd be a little less cranky out of captivity. feeling trapped contributes to making him lash out so roughly.

i can see it playing out your way if like. sua or someone advised till like "you know he only messes with you because you react to it, right? why don't you try just ignoring him. or teasing back?"

ignoring would pretty effective in making ivan pout. although, of course, ivan would just ramp up in intensity until A) till cracked or B) he realized till was just putting up a front to pretend he wasn't affected but till was still red up to his ears and curling his fingers into fists or something...this tactic would probably work best if they usually texted/called or something lol. then the minute ivan sees him in person he's like. hmmm. i see!! i seeeeee.

i'm of the personal opinion that till is so used to ivan being Like That that it would probably throw him off to see ivan back off so easily. what? just like that? he's leaving me alone? :/ it's extra suspicious because till is jumpy waiting for the other shoe to drop and it just...doesn't!!

anywho. that's my read~ haha thanks for sharing!! 🫶🏾
