#im she/her-ing iva because i feel like it <3

[kaizokuou-ni-naru]

huge fan of the fact that ivankov was already making up new pronouns for herself as a kid. she self-references as ヴォレ/vore here, a modified/accented version of the masculine ore, as opposed to the ヴァタシ/vatashi (modified feminine/formal pronoun watashi) she uses in the present.

she's also using the regular masculine omae for 'you' here instead of the vanata that she uses in the present, which is an accented version of the more formal (and more commonly used by women) anata. so her particular speech style has gotten notably more feminine between this flashback and the present, but has always been distinctly silly!
