Tensions have been rising in Aethelia due to the simultaneous finale releases of Carrie Topper, a popular novel, and Game of Chairs, a popular TV show, with fans of each growing increasingly energetic, and potentially dangerous if any of them think to go beyond waving fake wands and swords at each other.
The issue has risen all the way up to Aethelia's parliament, who must finally decide which is better.
The
New Democratic Party is split, with some praising the strong female lead of Carrie Topper, and some who find the dragons in Game of Chairs to be better.
The
Path to the Future Party is abstaining. They were last heard grumbling that Pyrefly should never have been cancelled.
The
Peace and Love Party is also abstaining, claiming that they're getting tired of hearing spoilers about who dies at the end.
The
Freedom Party supports Carrie Topper, as they believe that the Magistrate of Magic is a good example of why government doesn't work, while the Iron Chair in Game of Chairs promotes central government.
The
Nature's Way Party supports Carrie Topper, due to Game of chairs having anti-scientific views on how the seasons work.
Opposing the Freedom Party, the
Aethelia First Party supports Game of Chairs, and has proposed to refer to The Six Cities as the The North, The Reach, The Riverlands, etc.
The
Ultor Corporation supports Game of Chairs, finding the Copper Bank to be particularly inspiring.
The
Republican Party managed to briefly unite both sides by suggesting that both be banned for inappropriate content.
The
Selene Cultists are split, and busy writing terrible fanfiction for both Carrie Topper and Game of Chairs.
The
Adam is the Best Party was met with loud booing before voicing an opinion for being the only one to think Trilight was actually good.
With a split vote being likely, Leader JEM is not eager about breaking a potential tie, having Ravenpuff accessories from Carrie Topper, and a large poster of Radly Bathareon from Game of Chairs.
Some secretly hope that the whole issue will just pass with time, as every side is expected to unite against a poorly written prequel coming up for the formerly popular Star Violent Conflicts movies.
