Pablo

Pablo.

**Pablo** was an iron golem in Saladistan. Famous for his characteristic "bounce", Pablo was both a meme and a symbol within the community of Saladistan.

Eventually, during the Pablo Wars, Pablo would go on to be a subject of controversy, at the center of constant wars, fighting and tensions.

## History

Long ago, Pablo was just like any other iron golem that roamed the village, defending and keeping the village safe from monsters. But on February 11th, 2021, that was all about to change.

After getting stuck in a failed village zombifyer built by whoori, whoori saw the iron golem and hung him from the ceiling of the contraption by a leash. The iron golem began to bounce up and down in a humorous way. whoori named the iron golem "Pablo", a stereotypically Mexican name, as a reference to the memes of animals with Mexican names stuck in bizarre locations.

Pablo instantly became a hit. Everyone thought he was hilarious. But then one question would be soon to arise: "was Pablo, the iron golem, happy, being hung from the ceiling and trapped inside a small cubicle?"

### Pablo Wars

The first to ask this question were Batmannn and daniel1234. The two argued for the well-being of Pablo. They argued that Pablo should be "free, happy, and able to do what he wanted, rather than be forced to live in a cramped and restricted living space, simply because it was a 'meme'".

Batmannn and daniel1234, as a result, began the February Pablo Protests, a series of clashes against whoori as a protest for Pablo's life. This was the start of the Free Pablo movement. The two attacked whoori, set him on fire, drowned him, and more, yet many of these attempts were unsuccessful as whoori's armor was way too powerful compared to that of Batmannn and daniel's. Ironically, these demonstrations only endangered Pablo's life several times, including almost setting him on fire with lava. This caused Ultin42069, who had initially been neutral during the protests, to support the cause of whoori. Additionally, Batmannn somehow managed to accidentally set Fighter69 and 5harky's house on fire with lava, and when he offered to repair the house, he did a very bad job, according to Fighter69. This only ended up turning the two of them against Batmannn during the conflict as well.

After the February Protests, it was clear that war was inevitable in Saladistan. Players divided themselves into two sides; Keep Pablo and Free Pablo. After both sides were given months of preparation, the First Pablo War was declared on April 10th, 10:39 PM.

   The war proved to be, very anticlimactic, at the least. There were only 2 days of actual fighting. Afterwards, Pablo's life returned to normal. Both sides agreed that the war was pointless and agreed to leave Pablo in his cubicle. For the next few months, Pablo's life would be relatively uneventful, despite many botched attempts by Batmannn and daniel1234 to free Pablo. But that was soon to change...

### Death

On June 4th, 2021, whoori, Ultin42069, Sashie\_Bunny, Fighter69 and Batmannn all got together to kill the Ender Dragon. daniel1234 was also online at the time but did not fight the Ender Dragon with the others, for some reason. The Ender Dragon proved to be very easy to defeat, and was killed in about 5 minutes. Spirits were high in the Village of Saladistan, but not for long; it was around this time that Batmannn and daniel were orchestrating one final, elaborate plan to free Pablo. Saladistan had no idea what was in store for it... the climax was only beginning.

Immediately after Ultin42069 came back from the End, he noticed daniel1234 attempting to break Pablo's cage block by block. Ultin42069 quickly stopped her. He then proceeded to go back to his house. However, in that very moment he looked away from Pablo, he heard a huge explosion. daniel1234 had done the unthinkable. She had blown up Pablo's cage, and Pablo was free. Batmannn and daniel1234 had succeeded.

Ultin42069 panicked. Batmannn then showed up and proceeded to push Pablo into the ravine. Ultin42069 went after the two of them. Sashie\_Bunny and whoori were still stuck in the End. Ultin42069 and Batmannn began to fight, but Batmannn proved to be much stronger than he was the last time they fought. It was a tough battle, but eventually, Ultin killed Batmannn, and Sashie\_Bunny and whoori arrived to aid him, at last. The 3 of them then worked together, in an attempt to help Pablo out of the ravine and back to the shrine. Pablo was now back on the leash and bouncing again. whoori went to get glass and rebuild the cage. But suddenly, Batmannn appeared again. Batmannn positioned himself behind Pablo, and readied his sword. Ultin and Sashie\_Bunny were too far away from him, they could not stop him in time. Batmannn raised his sword, and proclaimed, "if Pablo cannot be free in life... then let him be free, in death!" It was all over. Pablo was dead.

## Legacy

Pablo was, and will always be, a symbol of Saladistan. Pablo's Shrine now serves as a tombstone for his soul, his connection to the real world.

Every year, on February 11th, the date of Pablo's "birth" (or the day he was named by whoori), citizens of Saladistan celebrate Pablomas, a national holiday where people offer gifts to one another. Ever since his death, Pabloism, a form of Anime Thigh Worship centered around Pablo, has seen a rise in followers.
