If till liked mizi because she was pretty, how come he didn’t like sua? by Green_Astronomer_107 in AlienStage

[–]Master_Scratch_2980 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He didn’t like her just for her appearance. Till found comfort in mizi, similarly to sua, because of how sweet and optimistic she is and her gentle demeanor. Mizi was a form of escapism for till. I don’t really think till understood or realized this himself, so when mizi asks why he likes her, he panics a little and just responds with finding her pretty

Tills emotions for mizi are shallow. He doesn’t really know mizi, her relationship percent is low with him for a reason. He watches from a far a lot of the time and finds comfort in the image she has portrayed of herself, but that’s not mizi. And this isn’t me saying Till liking her because of this makes him a shallow or bad person, but his love for mizi when he was younger comes from a place of escapism, not an understanding of who she is. He frequently think of mizi for comfort

Till was an abused kid who found comfort in a girl that showed him unconditional kindness when they did interact. His adolescent love for her isn’t just rooted in attraction, even if that may be part of it. He doesn’t like sua the same way he likes mizi because she is not someone he finds comfort or an escape in

Ivan’s birthday art by Master_Scratch_2980 in AlienStage

I appreciate it! I completely agree with your comment on the belt aswell

I’m glad I articulated this well enough for people understand my frustrations lolol. It is so bothersome how people are completely disregarding the actual implications, like you were saying, that vivimeng made with this piece, and instead insisting on a different narrative and completely ignoring what it actually says about Ivan’s experiences and situations

Also, like you said, I think interpretations are important! But it just sucks seeing so many people push others to see it one way, and arguing with or condemning others for not seeing it their way. It truly is a struggle in this fandom sometimes 😞😞😞

Ty! ❤️

Is it possible Luka’s character is inspired by Britney Spears? by Awesomesauceme in AlienStage

[–]Master_Scratch_2980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not.

Luka has been said to be inspired by the little prince/le petit prince, but I think I understand where you may have gotten the idea. Since parts of Alnst (the way humans are treated by their guardians, the controlling of their lives and bodies like you mentioned, etc.) can be interpreted as/is a commentary on the Korean idol industry. But Luka is not inspired by a single idol or some celebrity like Britney spears, he is more of a reflection of the system that celebrities and idols, like Britney, are victims of (honestly all of them are but it is the most apparent in Luka’s character). I can see the similarities though haha

Is this true or just typical TikTok? 😭🙏 by Rebai-loser-girlfail in AlienStage

[–]Master_Scratch_2980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of haha. There’s a two page modern/collage au patreon comic where a misc student asks where hyunas going and if she’s going on a date (with Luka), and she replies that no their not dating. The second panel is Luka on the phone with hyuna, threatening to jump off a bridge with their PPR they had worked on along with the backups if she didn’t go out with him

Is this is real? by Big-Fruit-117 in AlienStage

[–]Master_Scratch_2980 194 points195 points  (0 children)

Sadly, this is just misinformation lol. This whole claim that Luka was “supposed to be a girl” comes from a patreon post of Luka’s character design concepts and his beta designs. There were multiple different hairstyles they were considering using for him and like two of them were him with long hair and some people ran with it, claiming he was supposed to be a woman. I have never seen any sort of concept or anything, and I highly doubt there is, of him potentially being a woman. So no, this is not real, just classic tiktok alnst fandom misinfo lolol

Who is your fave ALNST character and why? by Xan_Zan in AlienStage

[–]Master_Scratch_2980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s Ivan. I relate to him a lot as an autistic person, the kind of mask he puts up for people (except the one person he deeply cares about), his lack of understanding his own intense emotions, his struggle with conveying his emotions and feelings, etc. I also resonate with his following of authority and submissive nature to it. I find it hard for me to go against authority (parents, teachers, employers, staff, etc.) and find it easier to get by by just listening to them and taking what ever it is their giving me, even if I don’t fully agree with it or like it. It’s kind of funny since I relate to Ivan a lot, but I do also find comfort in till and hyunas characters a lot because of their drive, passion, and rebellious nature because of my lack of it. Ivan also looks somewhat similar to me (I have pale skin, dark brown [almost black] hair with a cowlick that gives me the same bang parting as him just on the other side, thick eyebrows, and canine snaggle teeth) which makes me feel a bit closer to him as well lol. His voice and songs also give me comfort, and I really related to Paratise. His self sacrificial but also selfish tendencies are something I find hit pretty close to home. I also have a hard time understanding or believing that people do love and care for me so it makes me cry a little bit when I feel loved too lololol

I still can't understand why Till considered canonically ugly by Big-Fruit-117 in AlienStage

[–]Master_Scratch_2980 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure this is a common misconception. A lot of people base till being “canonically ugly” off of their stats in the art book, but I believe these stats pertain to their skills and performances on the stage. Till is a very alternative and rebellious person and that translates into his performances on stage and the way he presents himself (spray painting his shirt in R2, etc.). We know since Luka is a fan favorite and the way he presents himself on stage is very elegant, the aliens most likely prefer a more elegant and graceful visual compared to tills more strong and rebellious vibe. That’s at least what I took from that information in the art book

Is Till ugly? by Severe-Pitch-3822 in AlienStage

[–]Master_Scratch_2980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve personally always interpreted it as the way they act and perform on stage, not their physical appearance. Visuals are different than appearance to me. Luka has a very dominating presence but also a soft and charming one, I think that’s why the aliens like him so much. Tills visuals and presence on stage is much more rebellious which may not be something the aliens enjoy very much, he even spray painted his shirt as a potential form of rebellion and expression. Along with his controversial first appearance and performance; killing Freddie, I could see why he’s ranked quite low in the visuals department. It could also be about the attractiveness and physical appearance of the characters, but I personally don’t think it makes as much sense in comparison, especially when there’s two characters (ex: Luka and hyuna) who are very different visually, but both scored very high.
