It always makes me wonder, if I were to step into one of these books, which SJM universe would I truly belong in? And what kind of fantasy character would I be?
That's exactly why I decided to have a little fun with AI and see what it would come up with. The idea of turning myself into an SJM character just sounded too exciting to pass up! My goal was to see not just what I'd look like, but also to get a sense of my persona and potential role in one of these epic stories.
So, what makes these SJM universes so distinct? If you're pondering where you'd fit, let's break it down a bit. The ACOTAR universe, for instance, is rich with Fae courts, powerful High Lords, and intricate political landscapes, often with a strong focus on destiny and overcoming trauma. Characters here are often resilient, fierce, and deeply loyal. Then there's the Throne of Glass series, which starts with a gritty assassin in a kingdom under tyrannical rule, evolving into a sweeping epic about ancient magic, queens, and fighting for freedom. Its characters are incredibly strong-willed, strategic, and often burdened by immense responsibility. And finally, Crescent City brings a more urban fantasy vibe, blending magic with modern tech, featuring angels, shifters, and Fae in a detective-like mystery. Characters in CC are often street-smart, witty, and deal with complex societal structures.
When I asked ChatGPT to turn me into an SJM character, I tried to give it as much detail as possible. Think about your own traits – are you more of a warrior, a healer, a scholar, or perhaps a mischievous trickster? Do you have elf ears in your dreams, or do you prefer practical, embroidered dresses? I even described my eye color and general vibe, hoping to get a truly personalized fantasy character. The AI-generated image was so cool, showing me as this ethereal being, and it really got me thinking about the details, like what kind of pearl necklace my character would wear, or the texture of her dress.
To help you discover your own place, here’s a tip: don't just ask 'turn me into an SJM character.' Give the AI specifics! Tell it about your personality, your strengths and weaknesses, what kind of magic you'd wish for, or even what kind of challenges you'd want to face. Do you see yourself as a brave warrior like Aelin, a compassionate High Lady like Feyre, or a determined fighter like Bryce? You can even specify a particular SJM universe you feel drawn to. For example, 'Based on my love for nature and strong sense of justice, create a Fae character for me in the ACOTAR universe,' or 'Imagine me as a rogue assassin with a hidden magical talent in the Throne of Glass world.'
It’s such a fun way to explore these beloved stories from a new perspective. My AI transformation gave me a whole new appreciation for the depth of SJM's character development. It made me wonder about my character's backstory, her powers, and her potential allies. I highly recommend giving it a try – you might be surprised by the incredible fantasy character and SJM universe you discover!
