please bother me with questions and statements
I caught up with Oshi No Ko, so here are some opinions and meta thoughts.
AN INVERSION OF NAOKI URASAWA'S MONSTER
Oshi No Ko and Monster are 2 very different stories, but some plot elements and conflicts are similar:
In short, in both series there is a pair of twins and a murderer. It is just that in Monster the twins have no memories nor sense of selves, while in Oshi No Ko they have too many memories and baggage.
Finally, in Monster the characters must uncover the truth behind Johan, while in Oshi No Ko they must find out who Ai really is. The former is about understanding a monster, whereas the latter is about empathizing with a goddess.
The invincible smile that tears up the media
Wanna know her secret, so mysterious
Even the things she lacks end up in her area
Such a perfect liar, you are:
[Miss] ingenious, godly idol
(You're my savior, you're my saving grace)
In religion an idol is:
So, idols are gods. And yet, they are fake gods. In particular, monotheistic religions refuse idols because they are over-simplified representations of the divine.
Similarly, people worship celebrities, but only aknowledge their simplistic personas. Actors and idols are put on a pedestal, but also objectified:
So, what'd you eat today?
What's your favorite book?
And if you wanna go to play, where are you gonna go?
I haven't eaten at all
That's a secret
No matter what you ask
She's elusive, evasive
Yet still shining bright;
Her secret: out of sight, as if visible, has the taste of honey
They aren't seen as people with complex emotions, but as blank slates fans project their feelings onto.
This is why Ai Hoshino is the ultimate idol:
Drawing everyone's eyes
You are the perfect, ultimate idol
Never to appear again
A reincarnation of Venus
With that smile, with that "I love you"
You captivate everyone
Even if those eyes, those words, are false
They make up a perfect love (Ai)
Ai's whole self is a lie. Not because she is malicious, but rather because she lacks a sense of self:
She is not sure of her own emotions and can't tell truth from lies. Everything is mixed and unclear. What does it even mean to love? What does Ai even want?
Ai is supposed to embody love. After all, she is associated to the Morning Star, which is called Venus, also known as the Goddess of Love. And yet, Ai's true eyes are dark:
Similarly, the word "ai" means love, but our idol's name is written with no kanji, which makes it the Japanese transcription of the English word for eye.
Ai's name is the sound of love, but with no kanjis (no meaning) attached. Ai is an empty love with empty eyes. This is the pun she is built on.
Still, why is that so? Well, Ai's parents don't put kanjis in her name, just like they don't love her:
So, Ai's character is defined by these 2 ideas:
I have never been loved by anyone
Nor have I loved anyone else
On the one hand she was never loved. On the other hand she has never loved. Because of this, she thinks of herself as a fake.
Wishing all of you a very merry "I suddenly have the motivation and time to write a minimum 10k fic"... please
