“Real bands save fans, real fans save bands”- Michael Clifford
There is very little that they wouldn’t
do for these people that they idolize. I know from personal experience the
lengths that a fan will go. Some will jump in front of a bullet (I’m being 100%
serious) or even sell their soul to the devil himself so that that person would
have a happy, healthy and successful life (Again I’m being 100% honest!). This
really goes for any famous person with fans really. YouTubers, Viners, dancers,
actors, theatrical performers, anyone in the business who can accumulate a fan
base.
I have been in many different
fandoms which you probably know by now. I have seen many different artists
break many different times. It is the most heartbreaking thing ever to see
someone who you and so many others have put so much affection into just break. That
moment when they lose everything that they have worked so long to keep hidden
is heart shattering.
While with today’s media it’s much
easier to know when they reach their breaking point it only makes it harder to
bear. It’s nice though because the faster we as fans know our idols have hit
this point it let’s us help them get back to the top where they belong. The
immediate effort that the fans take to try and pick their idol back up heartwarming
to witness. There have been multiple occasions when an idol has broken down in
tears because everything just becomes too much, because they feel like they’re
not enough, or because they feel like they can’t be who everyone needs them to
be. To see someone so upset and broken is horrifying. I can’t imagine what it
would be like to go through that alone without someone to be there to help them
back up. Someone has to be there to pick up the pieces.
If it
was up to me things like this would never happen again. If it was up to me then
everyone would be blessed with a kind heart, exceptional confidence, and everyone
would love one another, but that’s not realistic.
