like till's drawings of him back in anakt ? :0 it's a pretty obvious route but i think it would definitely get him thinking about his place in till's life, right ? makes him see a stark contrast between his actual importance to till vs what ivan has grown to believe. ivan observes till draw All The Time so he should have an idea of what he usually draws and why. till draws what makes him happy, gives him comfort, what he wants to preserve. so if he sees himself as a subject of till's drawing... that Must mean something. till wants to preserve that moment of him ? his image inspired till enough to put him on paper the same way he does flowers, trees and mizi ? not to mention seeing himself in till's eyes would also strike a chord in him lowkey.

i think itll also raise the question of Why till never told him he did draw ivan when ivan asked

so like outwardly i dont think much of his actions wld change mostly bc he doesnt know what to do with this information (bit of a cognitive dissonance there) but he would look at till more closely. doesnt occur to him that he cld just ask. lets the information fester.

... he would steal some of them though

and till cant even ask him if he did bc that wld mean revealing that he drew ivan

holy yap LMAOSHKDHSK slr i had to discuss it with my friends to cross reference
