ive got a better review of 137 coming but before i pass out, im incredibly happy to see a theory of mine confirmed! in the end where ruby tells kana she doesnt want to be an idol like ai (i have my own thoughts about how aka wrapped that thread up but i digress) i had said previously that while aqua did tell her she didnt need to follow in ai's footsteps (c. 123) she actually believed it in c. 134 in that brilliant moment of empathy with ai, when she saw the suffering her mother went through and decided she wouldn't go through that as well

#honestly the entire arc of ruby following in ai's shadow/mimicking ai is kind of inconsistent with her earlier characterisation #which is why im iffy about it #and some other things too #hoshino ruby #honestly small thing to be happy about but i am regardless #hoshino ai #oshi no ko #oshi no ko manga spoilers #ai really does keep inspiring ruby. first to help her dance #then an idol then fueling part of her revenge and then finally to just be herself (even though the reasons why are painful)
