The Price of Fame

Elodie didn’t know what she was getting into when she transformed for the first time. It wasn’t just the pressure of being a hero and the responsibility of an entire city.

It was the lack of privacy.

It started with whispers in the classroom, blurred pictures, comments on videos, then every tv had her masked face on it. Elodie couldn’t stop it, couldn’t stop everyone talking about her. They wanted to meet her, be saved by her, be loved by her. Elodie hated it. It was like a thousand ants under her skin, a thousand hands pulling at her from all directions, a thousand eyes burning into her skull.

Ruby Bug’s masked face for brands and commercials (but that wasn’t her, they didn’t look like her)

People spreading the craziest theories about Ruby Bug. (None of it was true)

Some of her classmates had crushes on Ruby Bug. (Why? She didn’t look that different in the suit, did she?)

It was Ruby Bug everyone wanted to know, not Elodie.

So why did Elodie feel like they were dissecting her?

Tearing her apart? Digging into her? Consuming her?

How long until there was nothing left of Elodie?

First Casualty

Warnings: Violence, swearing, mentions of ambulance

Rin hesitated, something in his gut twisting. It was almost like the movies, right before something bad happened, the main character got an awful feeling.

Brushing it off, Rin knew he just missed you too much. It was obviously making him spiral into stupid movie tropes.

"Hey..."

You froze on the other end of the line, surprised by his soft tone. It was one he only used in private.

Your key remained unturned in the lock as you waited for him to speak again.

"Rin, are you okay?"

"Yeah...it's just...I love you. You do know that. Right?"

You nearly blew out a breath of relief.

"Yeah, hotstuff. I know. I love you too."

Rin blushed at the nickname, a brief smile crossing his lips.

"I'm about to board. I'll see you in a couple hours."

"Sounds good. Bye."

"Bye."

Rin hung up grudgingly the feeling now clawing it's way into his chest up from his gut releasing an awful burning sensation. Rin almost called you back. Almost.

You turned the key after dropping your phone in your purse. Entering Rin's house to finish up the welcome home celebration for just the two of you. You never made it past the entryway after shutting the door.

A heavy object met with the back of your skull. The dimly lit entryway turned black as your limp body keeled forward into a pair of waiting arms.

By the time Rin's flight landed, the sick feeling had only gotten worse. As soon as he was out of his seat he was calling you, but you didn't answer. Rin rushed to meet his manager at the exit, continuing to call until they arrived at his apartment building.

It was a private, gated complex and once inside, they saw the police cars and ambulance. The sinking feeling in his stomach made him nauseous.

"You're Rin Itoshi?" one of the detectives asked.

"Yes."

"You're girlfriend is being treated in the ambulance, but she's okay."

Rin attempted to get past the detective, but his partner held Rin back.

"She needs to be questioned before you can see her."

"What? Why?"

"A couple fans broke in, but your girl fought them off. Both are at the hospital."

Rin's stomach finally dropped when he heard the word fans. This was his fault. You were hurt, possibly worse because of his life, his fame. Fame he didn't want or need, but followed him around like a deadly disease waiting to strike his loved ones. And you were the first casualty.

The Reddit story is one of those popular internet myths that's entertaining but impossible to verify. During the time she left a lot of information that was decently convincing, but revealing more about herself was dangerous because people started putting two and two together Kiwi Farms style. She was ESL, and probably from one of the Scandinavian countries or Malta and not American, which helped people narrow down who her father might be. Some people suggested she was in the Children of God cult. People also determined they would have met at the 1988 Arab League Summit based on information given. She left not too long after that. The second half of the story sounds overly dramatic though. This could be because of her being ESL or it could just be exaggerated. Teenagers do make up wild stories after sleeping with popular people all the time and stick with them.

oh well, yes, from what I understand she claims she had his son - that reminded me of some lady I know on Facebook was telling me how there's a fandom for a heavy metal artist, (he was married but everyone hates his wife/widow for some reason) and some lady was in their groups claiming she was his lover and had given birth to his twins (i can't recall if before or after he died, I almost think it was after) and just living in this whole fantasy world she created in her head, but she clung to it and insisted it was real; I wasn't interested enough to pay much attention but I think they said this woman was posting photos and everything trying to prove her story was true.

I also keep seeing a woman on Facebook (friend of a friend) claiming to be the secret wife of Saif al-Islam, but any time any other public figure or historical event is mentioned by anyone, she pops up insists she was there and involved (reminds me of how some 9 or 10 year old kids are - like to make up elaborate lies) and knew the British Royals personally and all these CIA people and Epstein and some fashion designer personally; and that she was a graphic artist, Olympic athlete and MI6 spy all at the same time while in her late teens early 20s. Married Saif when they were 16, and on and on, it's a wild Rollercoaster ride to read her posts. And she gets furious if anyone questions the authenticity of these stories.

There's also a person who is obsessed with (Muammar) Gaddafi and although she never claims to have met him personally, has created a dream world inside her head where they meet in their dreams and he divorced Safia and is waiting for the right moment to return to earth like the second coming of Christ and marry this crazy lady and then they will "rule" together. She worships him like a god and becomes defensive and hostile if anyone brings up his past and real life as a historical person, she is not interested in anything he actually did on earth except sometimes she throws around buzzwords like "Jamahiriya" and "Manmade River" and "King of Kings" and "Green" but was practically incapable of holding down a conversation about the real man or any of his beliefs and politics (I was friends with her for a few months before she turned against me.) And she was insanely possessive and jealous (nobody is allowed to have a crush on him except her, nobody is allowed to think he ever slept with anyone besides his first wife and Safia, and nobody is really allowed to talk about them, either...)

Fandom Lesson: Marriage Certificates are not Merch to get Signed.

Good morning Lords, Ladies and Gentlefolk

Starting strong for our first proper post with something that shouldn't have to be said, but apparently does: Don't try and get celebrities to sign marriage certificates.

Joke or not, fake certificate or not, it's weird as shit.

Why am I talking about this? Well because it came to my attention today that someone had done that, not once, but twice, to Jamie Campbell Bower.

I shit you not.

View this post on Instagram

This video is of the second time. he signed the first for her, because it was a photocopy of a marriage certificate. He was such a sweetheart about it, so kind. I would not have been.

Now, I'm sure people will have a whole lot to say, mainly about my inability to take a joke and how things aren't that serious, but let me be abundantly clear: Inappropriate behaviour is inappropriate no matter the person on the receiving end.

This is weird, and completely inappropriate, and he was 100% right to not sign it. Because you never know what crazy shit people will do, and someone can say "It's a joke" "It's not real" all they like, but they could be lying through their teeth.

Would you like it? If someone you didn't actually know tried to get you to sign a contract, or a marriage certificate, in a situation where you don't have all the power and any negative reaction could be weaponised to make you seem like a horrible person, which would effect your livelihood?

Jamie isn't the only person this has happened to, and it really makes me question fans (more than I often do, I'll be honest) because... It's weird. It's really weird. And creepy. And inappropriate. Now, I wouldn't assume any of the signed certificates are legally binding, especially if there's video showing it wasn't done with actual knowledge for both parties (Scarlet Johansson) or it's clearly stated it's a joke (Louis Tomlinson), but that doesn't mean it's acceptable. You make yourself look unhinged and run the risk of being put on a No Go List if the celebrities team cares enough about their safety to do so (Not all do, I'm sure that will be covered eventually).

Is that a risk you want to take? To be banned from even approaching the person you're a fan of? Do you want to be a fan that when they see you their stomach knots and their heart sinks and they just don't want to even engage with you? Because being weird will absolutely make you that person.

STEELE: "They're two women who want to know us better and for some reason have become fixated on this band. They're from Texas and they followed us all the way back to Brooklyn. When we came home during a break between two tours they were here looking for us. I had my friends calling me, saying there were these girls here from Texas who pulled up in a limousine looking for us. Luckily they didn't knock on my door, as my girlfriend wouldn't have been too happy about that. But when I went back to Texas with Danzig, these girls were of course there and they handed me a photo album that said on the front, "Peter Steele, This Is Your Life." When I opened it up they had pictures of my car parked in front of my house. Every person and place that I had thanked on the SLOW, DEEP AND HARD album, they went and talked to these people about us. My friends at the gym. My friends at the bagel store. My friends at this auto body shop. And they had pictures of them! Really crazy stuff. "This is where you rehearse", "This is where you went to school", and I'm thinking, this is really scary. Thank God we didn't have sex with these people! Then it would have been like the pied piper, leading the snakes, or rats, whatever he had running after him. I think Josh actually threatened their lives. He's a very private person, even more than me, and he doesn't want anyone to know where he lives. But they found my house and my car, and the proof was in the book, sad to say. Scary."

Gaia babe, I’m watching about people pretending to be celebrities, ie Ariana, Taylor etc and wanted to know what placements indicate this type of obsession? To the point of changing one’s physical appearance. I’m fully aware that most of it, if not all, is because of a mental disorder but are there placements that point to this?

People imitating celebrity looks have always been around. On one hand they're inspired by their celebrities & want to embody what they do. It's alright to be inspired by someone's look but obsessing to the point of wanting to change everything about themselves to match said celebrity is just not healthy at all TT.

I think one reason could be their synastry with that celebrity. Heavy neptunian influences or aspects to the 1st House, 8th or 12th House usually. It points to a very unhealthy obsession towards that celebrity. Perhaps their Neptune or venus conjuncts the celebrity's ascendant?

Other than that, I think it could also be influenced by the celebrity's natal/persona charts themselves.

Let's look at Ariana Grande's persona chart for example.

She has both Uranus & Neptune in the 11th House. Both are in a virgo (18°) degree, in Capricorn.

A lot of what her fans or the public does or believe about her will be out of her control. This will usually be quite frustrating to her

Ex: The name "Arianators" wasn't something she came up with at all. Her fans just started to call themselves that rather than being given a name by Ariana herself.

Her Fama (18° virgo) conjuncts venus (17° leo) in libra:

Meaning that an iconic look of hers (particularly the petite looking, oversized sweater wearing, high pony Ariana) will gain a lot of attention or will be infamous in her career. However, Fama squares her Uranus which usually means she doesn't or never wanted that part of her to be so recognised by others i.e people only ever associating her look with that era. She'll be quite uncomfortable around people that imitate the person that she was before.

In her natal chart, she has pluto (23° aquarius )in Scorpio 10th house:

She has a very magnetic and revolutionary presence in her career. She was bound to gain obsessed fans or people who are strongly obsessed with her in general (whether love, jealousy or hate). This is where the copycats could come from. Being so obsessed to the point of wanting to be her.

Her pluto also opposites her venus lmao. It's quite similar to the previous aspects. This part of her fame is not something she'll be very pleased with. Although, people will see her as an icon.

Hope this helps!
