Who's Baal, /his/?

poor babylonians
Ba'al just means 'Lord' in Northwest Semitic languages (Ugaritic, Phoenician, Hebrew)
It actually isn't a single god, there's Baal Hadad, Baal Hammon, Baal Haramun, et cetera. But the Baal that is generally referred to as just 'Baal' is Baal Hadad. Baal Hadad was the storm god in a lot of Semitic pantheons. Think of him as semitic Zeus. He's sort of the big player, but he's not actually the creator (El is). Like how most people think Zeus has feuds with Hades, Baal has a feud with Mot (Death) in something called the Baal cycle.
There's a Baal we're all familiar with, actually, Beelzebub. Beelzebub is from the Hebrew 'Baal al Zevuv', or if you speak Arabic, Ba3al adh-dhubab, literally 'The lord of the flies'. It's a word with a good history behind it, some semitic pagans worshipped a god named Ba'al Zebul (Lord of the manor), and the Israelites would mockingly call him Ba'al Zebub (Lord of the flies, pests, et cetera).

So Baal = Cat, Prince Charles + Sad Pepe?
Baal.
I always liked the pronunciation.

yes,Prince Charles and Pepe are two aspects of Baal., Pepe has transcended simple memedom, its image is ritually spammed across imageboards, no longer an inside joke but a compulsive act of worship.
Every time you frogpost, Baal gets stronger. I still don't know what the cat means, probably it is something terrible yet to come. When it does all the three aspects of Baal will converge and give rise to the terrible final form
