Tomorrow, July 22nd (Friday), I have some unavoidable business, so I'll be taking the day off.
I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
Recently I've had the chance to eat the Char's Custom Mac
(both takeout and dining in) twice.
This is the Torichi, but if instead of Char's Custom or the First Gundam, they did a Zeta Gundam campaign where they made the patties thin but stacked four of them—resulting in an "It's not three layers!"—Asshimar Burger, or if they limited it to the First and released a Big Zam Burger that exceeds the Giga Mac in size where people would chime in "Well, mass production-wise...", or if they released something called the "Black Pepper Trinary Stars" as a three-burger set with no individual item option, some people might eat it alone, but three people trying to share at the register would get called the Black Trinary Stars, and their sharing act would probably be called a Jet Stream Attack.
Or if they modeled the hamburger box after the storage compartment on the left front leg of the White Base—
because they made the opening mechanism faithful to the source material, accidents happen frequently with the contents spilling out the side of the box, but some otaku would rejoice at it as a joke saying "It's an unauthorized sortie recreation!" (I'm the one who can eat hamburgers best),
the box's net pattern has the inside left side and right panel doubled up, so Captain Bright could probably call out "Left flank packaging is thin, what are you doing?" It might be funny if the structure was like that. Come to think of it, Captain Bright has scenes in the first Gundam episode 16 eating a hamburger, and even in the sequel Z he's shown eating hamburgers from a vending machine inside the Argama, so wouldn't Bright actually be more fitting for a hamburger campaign than Char?
↑This guy gets all fast-talker mode when it comes to Gundam, huh. Gross.
There's something called the Cthulhu Mythos,
but generally speaking, the worldview imagined as the Cthulhu Mythos
differs somewhat (or quite a bit) from the style
that its founder, H. P. Lovecraft, originally created,
and was formed by August Derleth,
who despite not being a student was regarded as a mentor figure,
applying his personal interpretations extensively after Lovecraft's death.
The term "Cthulhu Mythos" itself comes from Derleth.
In this collaborative attempt where multiple writers share a worldview and publish works,
I think the SCP Foundation is something modern with internet memes mixed in,
but in certain circles of early Cthulhu,
it became an arms race of increasingly powerful and terrible deities,
similarly how the SCP Foundation went through a period of being
a presentation of "my coolest SCP object concept."
Currently, there seems to be an unspoken rule that you shouldn't publish SCP objects that could kill SCP-682, that damn reptile with immortality as part of its setting
(if you do publish such things you get downvoted to hell),
so things have calmed down.
Incidentally, Cthulhu Mythos doujinshi are sometimes called "Uu-su Ihon."
If Lovecraft had lived longer,
at least longer than Derleth did,
the Cthulhu Mythos would not exist in the form we know it today.
Whether that's a good thing or not, I can't say.
Director Tomino Yoshiyuki of Gundam makes evaluations
clearly tinged with jealousy (usually harsh criticism) of Gundam works that have left his hands,
or of non-Gundam anime works.
Or even works like Victory Gundam, which are his own creations, he criticizes harshly later on.
The fact that we can actually hear these statements from Director Tomino,
regardless of content,
is, in terms of the Cthulhu Mythos,
like being able to hear directly from the founder himself
about "recent Cthulhu is..." or complaints—
an extraordinarily precious thing.
I'm making a prediction: if Gundam works are released after Director Tomino passes away,
there will be no shortage of people who become self-appointed spokespersons for Tomino, saying things like
"Director Tomino must be weeping in the grass above" about such Gundam works.
That's different from this, but what I've been thinking recently is quite extraordinary:
the fact that "Maestro Jiro Moroshi is still actively drawing manga as a working professional."
I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
