Ok admittedly Years ago (I'm talking first getting into SideM level of years ago) I came up with the idea of an ex-cosplayer idol so I'd really like something like that...admittedly I have a kind of. not Quite an oc but something adjacent in my head (more like a chara concept more than anything I guess?) for what an ex-cosplayer idol would be like based on both the general concept and this dream I had once jkgrkpogtfrpkghmgtfglb

Essentially this one time I had a dream that saisuta (rip) added a 17th Unit and I remembered they had like. white and purple-y-lilac outfits and a sort of "dream" type theme and the youngest member of the unit had a vaguely royal sort of theme to him (he honestly kinda felt like Pierre a lil bit?) so. basically I took that dream I had and ran with it and made a proper unit concept for it that I then never ended up developing further JFRKOEPRGKTTRPOE[FKGJHGORPFKGHKGRPOTKGHJGKORG

The other members were an ex-host idol (which would unironically kinda serve tbh) and an ex-therapist idol (because 315pro desperately needs one (this addition to the unit was kinda a half joke tbh)) so. yeah. I kinda did a F-Lags with them and made their ex-jobs unrelated to one another and instead went with the theme of "it'd be cool to see SideM explore this"

But if we're talking a more coherent unit theme I think a unit based around the animation/other aspects of the entertainment industry could be fun...like maybe ex-cosplayer, ex-storyboarder, maybe an ex-indie animator??? I think that could be a fun trio unit or maybe even a quintet unit who form their own lil mini animation team? Like add an ex-seiyuu idol and maybe like. an ex-doujin artist or something. Maybe the doujin artist would be like Sora in that his ex-job isn't really that indicative of his personality and his true interests are more central to his character (like. Sora's main thing is poetry and his connection to nature yet he's not the ex-poet idol.) Maybe there could be an idol who works in like a bowling alley or a cinema or some shit and during his free time he's selling out comiket or something JFKPLFGKHGJOFRPEROGTKHBLGFR[PFGKH)

Idk I think it'd be cool...alternatively maybe the ex-host idol concept could be used for a jazzy unit or something based on jobs that are usually seen as "luxurious" or something? like maybe an ex-actor idol...ex-jeweller idol for a bit of Flair...which is now making me think of Pave Etoiles grjofieripgtjhktorpitgjh

Maybe also an ex-model idol though Hokuto kinda has that one locked down...idk I kinda like the idea of a jazzy cool otona unit but at the same time I feel like something like that wouldn't really feel SideM idk. Unless they were all absolute fucking disasters who are all just good at projecting an air of coolness to em or something. idk I'm rambling but those are my ideas 👍
