sometimes people draw them really pretty and i think pretty art is pretty art so ❤️ but concept wise i’m sorry i do not fw it.. i can stand behind jock till tho but like, not in a stereotypical jock way (some goes to ivan i dont agree with many fanon interpretations but its another story), not in the way ivan is either, like, he still needs to be an outsider, awkward introvert and an artist… i dont like him being a popular cool surrounded by everyone guy that’s just not him. also i dont think he would be into amercian football or any team sport in general, i think he is too much of an individualist. i can imagine some solo sport, he canonically runs fast so maybe sprinter idk. i think people don’t like sports and till much and i kinda see why but also he has a good stamina and he is very competitive, there is a potential imo. like not what i usually go for in aus but i’ll defend that one. i do have a beef with emo ivan though 😭😭 like it runs deep okay /lh i’ve been in fandom much before jockemo au has existed and since ivan wears black and is. idk sad. people were often calling him
emo and of course it’s not a serious issue but internally i’ve always been a bit annoyed with that and i remember talking with my oomfs few times about it not making sense and that if anything till would be emo😭 so when that au dropped ive felt so validated and i was like yay omg maybe ppl will stop calling ivan emo now.. and then people started to swap them and make ivan emo😭 which they have right to of course its not that srs and ppl always make swap aus but it made me roll my eyes and sigh a bit. i do like some fan designs though and i think i like it more than i initially did but still.. idk personally i just think being emo really doesn’t fit ivan because he is so focused on appearances and fitting in and being „normal” and liked by everyone so i don’t think he would be alt in the first place and emo subculture is so connected to emotion and showing your pain and it’s just really not ivan for me… I do enjoy alt ivan though but like. in a band au way… where he gets into alt stuff and self-expression thanks to till… even then i prefer him as goth tbh but sometimes i see emo ivan and shamelessly imagine him as band ivan bshdjjs. but yeah i dont mind it that much idk it just feels too unrealistic for me but whatever makes ppl happy ig i dont super hate for this au either i saw ppl get really mean over that as if people dont make swap aus all the time or as if, respectfully, many „normal” jockemo characterizations arent just as ooc idk. lets just have fun
