this morning i& #39;m pondering the difference in xz and wyb& #39;s approaches to idoldom and how even tho wyb& #39;s younger it feels like he can act rather jaded about the industry bc he& #39;s been in it as a trainee since he was thirteen and started dancing even younger
before he knew any better about what baggage fame could bring him, and there& #39;s all these little rebellions he partakes in now (talking back to interviewers, cultivating all his sometimes-reckless-seeming side hobbies) to stay sane
so i wonder if he ever at marvels at xz having a perfectly fine day job that paid the bills and still PICKING all of this as an adult
not that fame and money and attention aren& #39;t worth it sometimes, and doing something you really love should be satisfying in and of itself, but any type of severe career pivot is crazy brave and that& #39;s not even taking everything about the trappings of idol life into account!!!
idrk where i& #39;m going with this but i just like meditating on the dichotomy lmao, there are things to admire and consider in both approaches and they both clearly think about it a lot themselves
(see: wyb& #39;s æ æ, literally every longform interview xz has given on the subject, etc)
wyb& #39;s don& #39;t give a fuck image!! xz killing them with kindness!!! I Just Think They& #39;re Neat

revisiting this thread three months later: i& #39;m probably just not as good a person as xz but i wish sometimes that he could/would go apeshit
i was typing out a tweet about how i& #39;d actually be interested in a fic where they have some sort of falling out because of this explicit delineation and then i realized i guess i kind of wrote that already, so as usual the clown... is me
