What it means

A four-panel parody featuring Shinji Ikari repeatedly trying to get his father’s attention while Gendo Ikari keeps saying “Not now.” In the final panel, Shinji kisses Kaworu while Gendo silently watches, turning the usual strained father-son dynamic into an absurd Evangelion punchline. It is sent as a reaction to awkward interruptions, parental neglect, or escalating situations.
