Boredom alleviation! I have a chronic case of it.

(Medically undiagnosed, of course.)

[from here.]

I will warn you that I'm not a very entertaining drunk.

Unless you'd find babysitting me entertaining.

Well, I'm a fantastic teacher. Just one step up from a babysitter.

Scratch that. Several steps up. Fantastic is worth a full staircase.

And what are you going to teach me, Gojo-sensei?

Are you more of an Agumon or Norman Bates? Getting a temperature check here.

I am definitely, 100%, a mascot character.

[ the world's weirdest-looking mascot character... ]

Whooooa, a mascot, huh?

I can see it! The hood, it's a palette for fresh new interpretations. You can be whatever you're needed to be!

That's what a mascot is for. A good punching bag for media attention. The one that everyone either loves to hate or hates to love. Mixed feelings and you go hand in hand!

But you bring joy regardless! And since you're so ~mysterious~, people can make up whatever they'd like about you. It's a win win.

So I, Gojo-sensei, will teach you how to bear the burden that the world has put upon you!

Step one: pick a voice. Many mascots are memorable because of how they sound.

Step two: pick a brand. Are you gonna be the degenerate mascot? The cute mascot? Or will you be the strong, silent type like Mr. X? Terrifying but resilient, always there lurking around the corner ...

Step three - and this is the most critical part: mentally prepare yourself for what comes next! Gimmicks about being emergency food. Memes about how you're a robotic sounding ball of metal. Whatever you choose, you'll be one-note for the rest of your life. This is the path you've realized you have no choice but to walk, yet we all require mascots ...
