BEHOLD UNWORTHY PEONS, a mere glimpse into the PINNACLE FUTURE through the mighty eyes of the PROPHET GRAHAM (may he live for eons).
So... "Second Prophet" wasn't being used figuratively earlier. I wonder if Sunday would be enraged or impressed.
I've actually long been contemplating having the Book of Graham be a regular form of update in Pinnacle Future, adding variety. It's also incredibly fun to me to write in what is basically a cross of the language of the KJV and HP Lovecraft. lol There are currently four books on my nightstand: The Holy Bible, The Book of Mormon, The Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia, and The Four Cults by Anthony Hoekema.
Here's the text from that picture for the hard of vision:
Hilariously, I got the idea for all of this from Jack Parsons, L. Ron Hubbard, and Aleister Crowley's weird relationship from OTL. If you don't know about it, look it up. Drunk History also has an amazingly funny episode about it.
Here's the text from that picture for the hard of vision:
- AND BEHOLD the PROPHET GRAHAM, Second Prophet of the ONE TRUE CHURCH, descended from the WAXAHACHIE BIBLE INSTITUTE in the year of JEHOVAH Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-six, with the noble apostle ANDREW and a mighty iron on his hip, and the name of the mighty iron was JUDGEMENT. And the LORD was with them.
- AND IT CAME TO PASS that the people of NEW CANAAN faced the dusty winds, black as unto sackcloth, during the mighty war against the servants of Satan in the southern continent. And the people of New Canaan cried out for relief and to be hid under the mountains, afraid.
- AND LO, during the worst of the devastation wrought upon New Canaan, the mighty and true PROPHET GRAHAM did serve unto the needs of the people. While lost in the wilderness, the PROPHET did taste of the Fruit of the Spirit, and unto him did appear the ANGEL OF DESTINY. And a sword was in the Angel's hands, and he gave the sword unto the PROPHET GRAHAM.
- AND IN THE BADLANDS the PROPHET did go forth and bring order and peace in the name of JEHOVAH, OUR GOD, and in the name of the FIRST PROPHET, MAY HE DWELL IN PEACE.
- BUT SOME of the people of the lands ravaged by the storms laid scorn and contempt upon the name of the PROPHET GRAHAM, and attempted to snuff out his divine flame. But JUDGEMENT called out, its holy fire belching from its silver mouth like unto a ROARING FLAME OF GOD. And the number of the notches on its grip number one and nineteen more.
- AND IN THESE DAYS the PROPHET was poor of wealth but strong in spirit, and he dwelt in the SINKHOLE, wherin he partook of the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT much, and communed with the OTHER SIDE.
Hilariously, I got the idea for all of this from Jack Parsons, L. Ron Hubbard, and Aleister Crowley's weird relationship from OTL. If you don't know about it, look it up. Drunk History also has an amazingly funny episode about it.

Genetic engineered crops may be used in this timeline. Genetic engineering of humans... I can see the RU doing that to justify themselves as the most Pinnacle of all races tbh. I don't think as of where this timeline is, genetic engineering would be very advanced.
Human genetic engineering probably won’t takeoff in the RU as many of their pseudoscience beliefs about race clash with the actual realities of DNA (they'd probably loose their collective shits when they find some of the people they consider Pinnacle Blood Strong Men have genetic markerssimikar to those found in Irish and slavs). Genetic Engineering for plants and animals I can see them embracing but sticking to old fashioned Selective Breeding for humanity.
I can't wait for Billy Graham to earn the nickname of "Carolina Red".
Nah, Clearly Graham is the AFC Ranger destined to take down the Infee outlaw terrorist Texas Red, famous for his ginger hair redder then the fires in which the Irish must buuuuurn!
Maybe he can be a writer/journalist working for Oswald whose main job is write propaganda and/or find damaging informations to discredit Oswald's enemies (like, you know, Richard Nixon).
Considering his love for firearms and drugs in OTL, he will probably fit nicely in the RU's society
Never did I think I’d see Billy Graham crossed over with Marty Robbins, Hunter S. Thompson, and L. Ron Hubbard all in a damn alternate history. Great writing as always Nap, lol
Great minds think alike: I was thinking about him ITTL earlier today. Here's my idea:
He's actually somewhat similar to OTL. An innovative novelist and perhaps filmmaker who helps boot the Film and Media Clans into the Oswaldian future. Unlike OTL, he is definitely an authoritarian and a massive Oswald supporter. He could still despise Nixon, seeing him as a force for Steelian reactionary ideals, which would also make him a useful media attack dog for when Dicky gets too comfortable. I like the idea of him helping to pioneer the new crazy culture, along with Hubbard and others.
Yeah, Napo nixed Reagan as we know him from appearing in the timeline after I jokingly suggested he should be Oswalds butler. That said, him showing up in socialist Ireland in the expanded universe thread would be amazing
I just hope the 80s will be otl 80s but on cocaine and more and turn to 11.
Napo has said that the future of the RU is going to be more in line with aesthetic of Seventies, so the 80s will be the worst of the 70s turned way past 11
I don't even want to immagine what WMIT's version of the Vietnam War will be like.
As much as I love 80s Retrofuturism and the whole neon sunsoaked aesthetic of the period, "cyberfunk" is incredibly original and exciting as hell to see develop
