I love it when idol media gets into philosophical concepts like change - both in the audience's shifting interests and the idol groups' own shifts as they grow and fluctuate and change. I love how the word "idol" already connotes a manmade thing meant to be worshiped, meant to be something we look to for eternity, meant to be something we project our desires and support so we'll receive some temporary happiness. And boy, do I love how they impose that religious image of an idol (by accident) upon humans who DO indeed change, which makes it all the more crushing when change DOES happen.

#i could also say something about the idols themselves being crushed when their fans ('worshipers') change and move to other things #its no ones fault because theyre all human #and yet it still hurts #fandom spamdom #idolish7 #note's notes #see look how used to i am about the deranged nature of idol media #i can incoherently overanalyse it without complaint now #but seriously its SO FUN because like momo said its no ones fault but it still HURTS #both the fans and the idols themselves jifdoaierweerwe
