Episode 8 of 2.5 Dimensional Seduction gives Ririsa a glimpse into the attainable paths her cosplay journey might take sooner or later.
Ririsa has two essential conversations this week that body totally different outcomes. She and the opposite membership members are enthusiastic about cosplaying. It’s their complete world at this stage of their lives. Their hobbies and passions are nearly all-consuming, and we because the viewers see them nearly solely by means of this lens. So it’s attention-grabbing to have two adults current potential endpoints for such a journey, and have Ririsa mirror on the outcomes—possibly Mayuri, possibly Nagomi.
Mayuri and Nagomi each symbolize finish states for cosplaying as a pastime. Mayuri had to surrender cosplaying to grow to be a working skilled. Her ardour was too time-consuming to keep up alongside her grownup duties. Maybe extra importantly, it was not socially acceptable to proceed this pastime when she was working as a instructor and needed to get married. That is one thing all hobbyists finally need to cope with: the identical ardour typically clashing with the growing pressures of restricted time and social norms as you become old. I believe that is fairly relatable to most viewers, as our pastime inevitably clashes with the expectations of actual life and we’re compelled to make tough selections about tips on how to spend our time.
Nagomi’s case is extra distinctive. She has gone skilled as a cosplayerand that is the dream, is not it? Nagomi remains to be pushed by her passions and lives for them. Nevertheless, her work requires her to costume celebration varied characters, lots of which she doesn’t know. Nagomi typically cosplays characters that haven’t but been revealed. Ririsa has a deep love for Liliel and solely needs costume celebration Liliel. Nagomi challenges her to ask herself if her dedication is to costume celebration as a pastime or profession versus being a Liliel superfan. This can be a theme that resonates with me as somebody who will get paid to write down, however doesn’t essentially select the subject or schedule. Once you flip a pastime into one thing that pays the payments, whether or not that’s writing, cosplaying, or regardless of the subject is, you concentrate on how a lot you care about that exercise and whether or not you like it as a lot as you as soon as thought you’d.
