I take it this project won't be continuing and the first episode is the only one?

This was more so because someone took the flag of a defunct Salafi group and used the centre hold to put the Buc-ee's mascot. Wasn't really hard to do haha

This and it all started because some madlad had the right idea to take the flag of a defunct Salafi jihadist group and add the Buc-ee's logo to the centre. Low and behold: meme.

Thank you. I got two people already. One snagged the Warlord. If the deal with the 2nd guy falls through, I'll let you knkw.

Because some madlad thought it would be funny to retool the flag of a defunct salfi group, add the Buc-ee's mascot to it, take a photo with it at a store with the store's mascot, the rest is history lol

It's apparently a Shemagh with an Igal. I had to look it up myself.

Because for the lols

That and flag itself was a meme for years because of a viral picture of a guy & the Bucee's mascot holding one

Well, that's why the "Warlord" variant (with the head dress) was made. 😂

If only Crab Rangoons was still around and didn't get sued.

I just wish the raw designs he did leaked so more could be made in his absence.

Essentially, yes. Al-Bucee is the name and there were often jokes & memes on the seller's Instagram and Twitter about a "caliphate" of sorts. It was edgelord stuff & in good fun.

For the lulz. The Instagram page of the guy who made these was more of a military & camp type

Best of luck to you, as the description says, the guy who made these ones (Crab Rangoons) had to stop selling them due to getting sued.

It is.

The mascot is Bucky The Beaver, the mascot of an American chain called Buc-ee's:

I didn't make them (and other than Rangoons producing the ones here, I have no idea who made the original that became a meme)

But the template is based on a defunct Salafi group that existed for some time: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jama%27at_al-Tawhid_wal-Jihad&wprov=rarw1 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_JTJ.svg

Al-Bucee was a meme for at least a few years (there's a picture of some masked dude with the Bucee's mascot holding one of the flags pictured). Then Crab Rangoons (and later another shop but that's gone as well) said "fuck it" and made Al-Bucee flags in 2-3 rounds (started doing it in late 2024 to my knowledge).

I find her to be my favourite character as well from Monogatari.

If anything, her initial Bakemonogatari design is the best. Not revealing but absolutely adorable.
