#one: Idoru is spelt wrong#two: despite having a virtual idol within your story you never mentioned her base aesthetic while constantly changing her outfit for#w/e fucking reason#the costume is part of the appeal dipshit#three: its shocking how passive both the domestic and international fan community is espec in the late 90s#the cross polination was just starting to happen between two extremely fertile communities#but instead you opted for “this boring as fuck rock band is being taken away by the idol!!!! >:(”#you'd think the idol side of thing would have been the ones to contain the more diehard loyalists but gibson cant imagine fan communities#outside of of what he can stumble into in a record shop/forum#bitch made motherfucker
