There’s no such thing as A.I “art.” It’s a soulless amalgamation of plagiarised data. That is the antithesis of art.

A dumping ground of inspiration, themes, and images related to this manuscript. The manuscript comps Babel by R.F. Kuang and The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo. The manuscript evokes emotion akin to the songs Young Volcano by Fall Out Boy, Too Sweet by Hozier, and So American by Olivia Rodrigo. Set in 1920s American, the images of libraries, texts, and fire imply academic revolution. There is text that reads 1920s Fantasy Academia, as well as three quotes. “You very much want to die. You look like a trapped animal.” “Something in me wants more. I can’t rest.” “I have never understood where the line is drawn, between sacrifice and self-slaughter."

A 3x3 moodboard of images tinted in pink, yellow, and brown. Each image is themed around 1920s America. These images include a compact blush, the back of a flapper girl with a feather boa, a hunting dagger nestled in the roots of a tree, a collection of worn polaroid pictures, a shop window advertising POETRY UPSTAIRS, an inkwell and fountain pen paired with a handwritten letter and stamp, a revolver hidden in a jewelry box, a hand reaching into a pool of water, and a coffee much stained with red lipstick.

1920s, Chicago. PH-born Rivers is a scholar, conjurer, and test subject. Unable to pass the Invocations their chosen Scribe writes, they take on another in secret. One the Dean's daughter, the other his ward, either could ensure Rivers’ survival or love them to ruin.
