So very ignorant... by Zvarricopter on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"Come on now, who do you- who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha! Bless your soul!
...you really think you're in control?"
(Gnarls Barkley - Crazy, which is a song I think sums up Ives' characterization very well)

Ivan only ever smiles when you show him JUST HOW ignorant you are. You may deny him and call him crazy, but he knows the awful truth. He may even envy you, and your ignorance. Such admirable ignorance... such admirable fortune...

This was an experimental thing to play with colors, and show off a bit more of Ivan's unstable side. After all, if you knew that there were huge people in the sky pulling the universe's strings (and that you'll never amount to anything due to misfortune), wouldn't you be a little unhinged?
