What Makes Us Any Different?

I love this official comic, but what really gets me—aside from the fact that young Ivan is incredibly wild as always (damn, I love him and want to dissect his brain)—is that in this scene, I don’t even think Ivan is deliberately teasing or mocking Till. It feels like he’s just making an observation, but it comes across as brutally honest. After all, Ivan doesn’t really grasp social norms or emotions. He has to watch other kids to figure out how to act (or at least how he interprets things). So maybe Ivan was just saying something like, “I mean, yeah, you don’t have any friend, so by your definition, you’re a loser, right?” I guess for Ivan, it probably doesn’t even cross his mind that Till might feel any kind of affection for him, even just as a friend, right? But Ivan is so often wrong about Till’s emotions—Till actually cares about Ivan deeply. There’s this deep love-hate attachment there, but it’s still a deep attachment. Ivan just doesn’t understand that and assumes he’s unloved - Till don't love him - but that's not true. Similarly, Till doesn’t fully grasp the intense and deep affection and love Ivan has for him either. Naturally, that harsh observation hits Till hard. Till feels disappointed and hurt. Not necessarily because Ivan called him a “loser,” but more because... he’s not completely friendless. Ivan has been his friend forever—his first friend, i think. So of course, Till feels hurt and probably thinks, “But you’re my friend?? Why are you rejecting me again?”

And under the weight of his emotions, he impulsively hits Ivan before storming off. Ivan looks surprised, maybe confused, as if he doesn’t understand why Till reacted that way.

Really, they’re such a mess, and their miscommunication only makes everything worse.

thank you for being a victim to my shallow emotions

🚨 Help Us Escape the Devastation of War 🚨

Hello, everyone.

My name is Mohammed Abu Swierh, and I’m writing to you from Al-Nuseirat, Gaza, where my family and I face unimaginable hardships. My wife and I are raising our three beautiful children: Mira (6 years), Bakr (3 years), and Maria (1 year). But our once peaceful lives have been shattered by the relentless conflict that has plagued Gaza for about a year. 💔

Our home, which once held so many dreams, is now damaged beyond recognition. Every day, our children live in fear, surrounded by destruction, without the safe place for our children to grow up. The war has stripped them of the freedom and childhood they deserve. Instead, they are growing up in a world filled with fear, uncertainty, and despair. 😔

After many sleepless nights and countless prayers, we’ve come to the heartbreaking decision that we must leave Gaza. We are hoping to build a safer, better future for our children, a future free from war and filled with hope.

But we can’t do it alone. Here’s where you can make a life-changing difference for our family:

$20,000: To cover the expenses of leaving and rebuilding our lives in a safe country.

$39,000: For a year’s worth of rebuilding our life, housing, food, and essential living costs as we adjust.

$1,000: To cover transaction and fundraising fees.

We humbly ask for your help. No contribution is too small, and every dollar brings us closer to giving our children the chance to grow up in peace. This is more than just a financial plea, it’s a call to save a family from the grips of war. 🙏

Your generosity can be the light that leads us out of this darkness. Please consider donating and sharing our story with those who may want to help. ❤️

Instead of Depression

by Andrea Gibson

try calling it hibernation. Imagine the darkness is a cave in which you will be nurtured by doing absolutely nothing. Hibernating animals don’t even dream. It’s okay if you can’t imagine Spring. Sleep through the alarm of the world. Name your hopelessness a quiet hollow, a place you go to heal, a den you dug, Sweetheart, instead of a grave.

I want "Make me your God I can give you everything" to become "Please be my God, for you I'll do anything" if Ivan ever had his own version of Ruler of my Heart And it could have looked like:

"My savior, beautiful star Please be my god, for you I'll do anything When our darknesses collide (Let me bear it all for you)" i'm normal.
