The removal of Pluto from the planet category is pretty much the modern version of Skyrim’s Divines controversy.
Pluto the mighty! Pluto the unerring! Pluto the unassailable! To you we give praise! We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars!
But you were once planet! Aye! And as planet, you said, “Let me show you the power of Pluto, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, my people, for I love you.”
Aye, love. Love! Even as a dwarf planet, great Pluto cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Earth! The future of the Universe! The very idea is inconceivable to our astronomer overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth!
Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? Do the astronomers take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives?
So rise up! Rise up, children of Earth! Rise up! Embrace the word of mighty Pluto, he who is both man and Planet! For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the astronomers or their toadies, will rule Earth! Forever!
Terrible and powerful Pluto! We, your unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace and benevolence may we truly reach enlightenment!
And deserve our praise you do, for we are one! Ere you ascended and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Pluto, not as god, but as planet!Trust in me! For I am the chosen of Pluto! I alone have been anointed by the Ninth to spread his holy word!
