Piccolo is the (formerly) Evil Green Space Jesus of Dragon Ball, with the history of the Bible being drastically altered via unforeseen time travel
*note; I am not in any bible studies, nor do I follow the religion, this is all for fun, not offense. if you have suggestions or clarification, let me know*
Let's look at the facts
1: there are 3 separate aspects of the character we know as "Piccolo" no matter how we look at it.
2: one of those aspects is literally God, and the other two are father and son. If you look at it differently, the argument can still be made that they are still considered a father and son, but I'm not going to consider nail, because he's just there, y'know? Like he isn't meant to be part of the whole green Jesus thing, just there as well.
3 Christianity exists in dragon ball, as show by puar turning into a bible
4 We never see "Jesus" as a separate entity, only god and his superiors
5 he died for our sins(gt) and redeemed himself (z) and put beef aside with those who wronged/killed him when the time came to work together(super)
6 he was a persecuted minority who got killed by a tyrannical dictator
I'll finish this later, but the similarities are striking
I wonder when they are going to put you down
they tried but then I decided to put myself back up
This is just a really toxic workplace?
Guy who's getting fired
Customer service who needs to explain that the guy you worked with is fired
The guy who gets the other guys workload, but doesn't have a clue about these people cuz they threw out the notes
The same guy two weeks later, being promised a raise, only for corporate to deny it for 6 months before they fire him for poor performance(he's doing 3 times the work without his coworkers doing anything, so his work is suffering) or he quits(happy ending)
the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)
feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated
So I googled Elvis on the DC wiki
It was mostly empty, but I noticed that there was a version called "President Presley" from Earth-1098
Researching Earth-1098 reveals that this is a hypertime variant or something? And I thought this it was like a variant of Kingdom Come universe because it first showed up in the second issue of "the Kingdom" but it's not? Cuz the costume designs don't match at all?
Anyways, after some google-justu and some (un)educated guesses, I've come to the conclusion that 1098 takes place in 2013 - 16
Cuz Supergirl generally arrives at least 20 years after Kal El (he's generally an fully grown man when she arrives) and when I look at the images of 1098 S-Girl I think she looks around the same age as Power Girl(?) maybe? I dunno but power girl is like 30 years old when compared to Supergirl. anyways S-Girl (alt name used 1098 Kara) says that Wonder Woman and the Justice society raised her. Also Batgirl seems to be around the same age as Bruce Wayne (or at least old enough to confide in him about this stuff), and as we all know, Bruce is a 30 something year old playboy. Therefore that means that Batgirl is in her 20s-30s as well. I guess. And when you compare that to the young adult/teen counterparts from the main continuity, this leads me to believe that earth 1098 takes place at minimum 15 years after 1998. Though tbh I think that it's more likely to be closer to 18/20 years as that feels better in my head. Anyways.
With this timeframe I have concluded that Elvis either beat Obama in the 2008 election, or he Beat Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Or maybe he ran Republican. Not much is known about the Kings political beliefs, but what is known (thru very confident google results) is that he was a Democrat back in the days before the parties basically swapped(I think? I dunno political history), and would probably run as a Republican. But not like a modern Republican, more like a "liberal conservative" question mark? Either way I doubt he could be much worse than the orange ogre. At least he can sing. That's a better quality for a president than being an ignorant buffoon, right?
PRESIDENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING-----------------
I dunno what to fill this empty space with
He's hideous. We shoulda gotten Elvis.

Then, if you break up, you have to break them
On the anniversary of our time together I want to cuddle a the couch and force you to watch a little movie I made out of the first time I violated you. I want to lick your tears away as you beg your past self to run in your mind.
I want to feel you up as you watch yourself scream and beg for me to stop doing the same in the video. To feel how limp and docile you have become in my hands.
I want to force you to cum while you watch yourself forced into the tiny cage that you now sleep in, too small to stand or lay down in, and shocked until all that comes from your mouth is an incoherent babble of broken screams.
Then I want to carve hearts in your flesh to show you how much I love you.
Sure, when Jesus Christ raises the dead, he's the Lord and Savior. Me, I get told to stop doing necromancy because it's freaking people out.

If anyone wants to help me import it, that'd be cool?
ok im going to #seriouspost for a second here. I don't think Harry Potter is a manifesto. I think it was a flawed passion project that millennials latched onto because of the fantasy of sticking it to their mean teachers and arbitrarily categorizing themselves (hogwarts houses; it's the thinking millennial's astrology). I think the fact that the series got popular when and how it did was very much a product of its time.
I don't think Harry Potter is the biggest symbol of JKR's bigotry. I think the most flagrant sign of that was how she responded to critics. I watched her become radicalized in real time. I watched how she doubled down on her racism when she was called out for the ways she promoted her tragically mid fantastic beasts movies. I watched her chase marginalized teenagers with a double digit follower count off of twitter for daring to criticize her thought process, and no one with any kind of power standing against her because she was the one who was paying them. This isn't to say Harry Potter is without flaws. This is to say she really didn't give a shit about that. Getting rich and powerful is a hell of a drug, and she had enough sycophants that she had no reason to care about what her critics were saying.
She was convinced that she was a martyr; a voice for the unheard; a leader for the ages, so of course her detractors were the bad guys. And I think we should take this to heart. We should see this as an example of how easy it is to get radicalized; if you think of yourself as a paragon of virtue, you are going to think that whatever you see as good and right is an objective fact. Most people don't know this, but the majority of terfs start out as trans allies. You are not immune to propaganda! You are not immune to falling into dangerous ideologies!!!
This is why the most important thing you can do as an activist is to listen. Do NOT think you're above being wrong; do NOT develop a god complex; do NOT form an identity out of being right all the time. Involve yourselves in the groups you claim to speak for. Listen to trans women; share resources that help trans women; familiarize yourself with the diversity of experiences that trans people have and the struggles they face.
No, none of you are as bad as JKR because you don't have her money or her power. You will likely never have the capacity for harm she does. But check yourselves. Do not affirm yourselves into thinking you always have the moral high ground. Watch yourselves; humble yourselves; check yourselves for signs of cult behavior and internalized prejudice. You are always learning. You will always be learning. Do not allow yourselves to get a power trip from brushing off marginalized voices.

In 2030 they'll be posting about how their new SO likes their toast and how they are so supportive of their very lightly toasted toast.
my wife is constantly mocking me for how lightly done I like my toast. “your hot bread is done,” she says to me. disgusting
I decided to make a Tumblr bloggy thing! don't mind me, I just follow whatever I see, I'm like a magpie :)
