“Who decides when the war ends? When the queens and the lords sign their treaties, does it erase the anger? Is the thirst for vengeance quenched? Is the hunger for justice sated? I know the people wanted peace lass, but I think you’ll find there are a fair few amongst them who’d rather freedom.”
It begins, as these things tend to do, with a gamble.
It’s been 15 years since the last war ended and tensions are running thick between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. Old gods are stirring, and a fateful coin toss throws Elodie Ferodeus right into the thick of the tangled mess of Unseelie politics.
Elodie is an outsider to the Court. Weighed down by the legacies of her parents she walks a knife edge between hero and traitor.
The Captain of the Queen’s Guard offers Elodie a quest. One that will bring glory to her name and peace to the two Courts. Elodie sets off with a handful of hopeful heroes, each with something to prove, in search of a long-forgotten crown. But who will wear it when the day is done?
Characters:
Elodie Ferodeus Youngest daughter of Amadeus Ferodeus, legendary warlord and Daphne Ferodeus, famed healer. She’s ambitious, gifted with a blade and level-headed in the face of danger. She’s also argumentative and rarely thinks things through but, nobody’s perfect. (x) tag
Nereida Frostfury Seer acolyte with a heart of gold. Fearless selkie, as much a fierce hunter on land as she was in the sea. She’s bossy, but her advice is always sound. Firmly believes that the world is inherently good. (x) tag
Hadrianus ‘Adrian’ Marsh Schemer. Gossip. Thief. The best person to have on your team, the worst person to have as your enemy. His moral compass doesn’t have a truth north, but when everything goes south, he’ll fight tooth and nail to keep the people he loves safe. (x) tag
Elliot ‘Jaeger’ O’Connor Half dragon, half human, all disaster. Tries so hard to be the man his dads want him to be. Usually has the best intentions, results may vary. Stubborn, loyal, and snarky as hell. (x) tag
Cadence Arronach Sugar and spice and a knife in the night. Tries so hard to escape the legacy her mother left behind. Her impulse control is non-existent, even whens she’s pretty sure things are going to go badly, she tends to do it anyway, just to be sure. (x) tag
Regan Maneo Cat person with an incorrigible sweet tooth who loves tea and sunsets. Also a necromancer who can sever her soul to raise the dead. Or, she could, if she wasn’t terrified of her power. Aloof, ethereal, hopeless romantic. (x) tag

text: [ “Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5000 years.” ]
And they're absolutely specifically pushing it, make no mistake. It's not just a matter of "it's there, it's convenient, so people are going to take the path of the least resistance", it is a legitimate and concerted effort on the part of these companies to get people to outsource all these things to their models.
They're preying on insecurities to do it. Yes, you can write an essay - but can you write a good essay, they ask you. Do you not want to improve your output? Do you not want people to think of you as competent and very clever? Why go through the mortifying process of failing and failing and failing until you succeed if you can just skip the "learning" part of doing, and simply generate a ready-made product?
I'm preaching to the choir here obviously but it's a concerning thing to witness nonetheless. My kid is 6 next week and I've been teaching her that failing at things is morally neutral and in fact necessary even before the advent of AI, but it's becoming ever more important that we teach the kids that criticism and failure and discomfort aren't necessarily bad things, but just a part of the growth process.
AI companies are heavily invested in making themselves relevant. They want people to believe they can't do the things they have done unaided before and to make them become reliant on the AI models, so the AI models' existence is artificially justified.

You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still
"fandom is dying," they whine as they stab artists and writers in the chest with discourse knives and harassment screws. "why isn't anyone making content for me to greedily consume for free as I make the experience worse for them and everyone around me?"
