cosplay
Cosplay is the act of donning the skin of fiction to escape reality while craving applause. With fabric, makeup, and hot glue, practitioners perfect self-presentation and offer themselves upon a stage. Conventions become festivals of approval needs, and social media turns into a battlefield. The obsession with detail under the guise of perfectionism inflicts damage upon friendships and wallets. True character love may very well resemble self-love hidden beneath a mask.
