#in the end there will be people whove had negative experiences with them cause thats life

lol it’s hard for me to believe any of the negative stories ppl have abt Dan or Bastille, like I just see them as angels and perfectly nice all the time

yeah I mean same kind of. I can't really imagine them doing anything actively mean or trying to be rude to fans or anything lol, but also they are people so there are gonna be times when they're tired or busy or just don't want to be bothered and, even though that's obviously like fine and allowed, i can see how that might rub people the wrong way.

idk i think part of it is that they, and particularly dan, have such a reputation for being super nice and also the way dan comes across as very down-to-earth and kind of accessible (?) for an artist of his size can lead people to feel veryyy entitled to his time and a certain level of friendliness ig, so if the interaction doesn't go the way they want it to then some people will take that out on him even though he's literally just a person lol

also they aren't angels and perfectly nice all the time they are literally just people pls don't think that about anyone ahaha lol

#ask #anon #i have so many thoughts about like fan/celeb interactions and like #that interaction is always going to mean sooo much more to the fan and so the expectation and pressure on it is way higher for them #and i think especially if you have an image of how someone is going to be in your mind #youre gonna be so much more sensitive to anything they do or say that doesn't align with how you think they are #and that can lead to some people being like oh theyre a horrible person actually #i will say everyone whos told me theyve met them has just said theyre super lovely #and the one girl who said it was a mistake was just cause she was like 13 and i think was more cringing at herself #but yeah thats one of the reasons i dont want to meet the band like i know it sounds dramatic #but i kind of think the idea i have of dan or the other members i have in my head like they arent real people yknow #and i already get stressed in social interactions i really dont need to be in any with that much added pressure lol #sorry for the essay this is just a topic i find very interesting lol #and kind of a tangent but i do see some fans behaviour where im like hmmmmm youre a little entitled and weird #in the end there will be people whove had negative experiences with them cause thats life #its not necessarily a reflection on them or their personality but also i think someone is entitled to that feeling #if that was their experience #if that makes sense
