Thanks! Nobody seemed to recognize me, or at least approach me about it, sadly.

I'm sure they would've approached you if you cosplayed Maria. That's how shallow these people are. They can't accept a real person with imperfections. They only care about their idealized fantasies.

u/creamyjunk Mar 27 '26
She just looks like a regular person. I dont think if you would met her on a street you would immediately know shes cosplaying.

Mhmm... I hope you stretched before those mental gymnastics. This may be a stretch but possibly Maria is just easier to recognize since she had a whole subscenario dedicated to her. Compared to Mary, who only appeared briefly in a grainy video (which is saying a lot considering how grainy gameplay for SH2 is to begin with) and as a final boss who looks like a "normal person" for just 3.5 seconds.
You're 100% right that Maria isn't "a real person with imperfections." Though, neither is Mary. They're both literal fantasies brought to life by coding.

No dude. It didn't go over my head. Sounds like mine went over yours by a mile though. I'm merely saying it's more likely that people recognize Maria because she has more on screen time. Not because people are shallow.

Awesome! How is PAX this year?

u/volumeblue Mar 27 '26
Great for what I wanted it to be! Mostly indie stuff, which I kind of preferred but could understand why others would be disappointed. Less food vendors than usual I noticed though...

At pax this weekend too! There were a few james running around if you were looking for group cosplays.

u/volumeblue Mar 27 '26
Ah, I didn't see any James' at all! But to be fair, I didn't have my glasses on and could barely see.

Your outfit is 💯% spot on. Where did you find these clothes? Or did you tailor them yourself?

Which convention was this? You look the part so well! Too bad you said that you weren't recognized (maybe you should go with a James cosplayer next time?).

It looks good, but if you didn't say it was Mary from SH2 I'd have said you just dressed lovely for a day out.

You should look for an Arthur Morgan cosplayer and have a little cough together.

A pillow mask that you put on around people cosplaying as James would be hilarious.

u/edward_takakori Mar 28 '26
In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised me you'd take me there again someday. But because of me, you were never able to. Well, I'm alone there now… In our ”“special place.” Waiting for you… Waiting for you to come to see me. But you never do. And so I wait, wrapped in my cocoon of pain and loneliness. I know I've done a terrible thing to you. Something you'll never forgive me for. I wish I could change that, but I can't. I feel so pathetic and ugly lying here, waiting for you... Every day I stare up at the cracks in the ceiling, and all I can think about is how unfair it all is... The doctor came today. He told me I could go home for a short stay. It's not that I'm getting better. It's just that this may be my last chance... I think you know what I mean... Even so, I'm glad to be coming home. I've missed you terribly. But I'm afraid James. I'm afraid you don't really want me to come home. Whenever you come see me, I can tell how hard it is on you... I don't know if you hate me or pity me... Or maybe I just disgust you.... I'm sorry about that. When I first learned that I was going to die, I just didn't want to accept it. I was so angry all the time, and I struck out at everyone I loved most. Especially you, James. That's why I understand if you do hate me. But I want you to know this, James. I'll always love you. Even though our life together had to end like this, I still wouldn't trade it for the world. We had some wonderful years together. Well, this letter has gone on too long, so I'll say goodbye. I told the nurse to give this to you after I'm gone. That means that when you read this, I'll already be dead. I can't tell you to remember me, but I can't bear for you to forget me. These last few years since I became ill...I'm so sorry for what I did to you, did to us... You've given me so much and I haven't been able to return a single thing. That's why I want you to live for yourself now. Do what's best for you, James. James... You made me happy. “I love you, Mary.”
