Cosplaying is just an unconscious desire to dress up as and emulate divinity. And where religion is absent, people will turn to the closest thing they have to personal gnosis 💀🙏🏻🔱

"... it is he who, in spite of thorns,
Envy and derision,
Walks, bent under your remains,
Gathering tradition.

From fertile tradition
Comes all that covers the world,
Everything that heaven can bless.

Every idea, human or divine,
Which is rooted in the past,
Has its foliage in the future."

(Victor Hugo, "Fonction du poete", 287-296)
