Genies can only grant wishes that are things that an ordinary person could do, just better and faster. The jinn are the creations of a divine being, and so they are part of the divine plan and cannot defy the natural order of things; a wish granted by a jinni can’t turn the day into night or the sea into yogurt, but if you wish for a temple to be built, a jinni will build it by hand, the way men do, and have it done in a day.
If you need a wish granted that defies the natural order you gotta catch a leprechaun, because no god was involved in their creation whatsoever. They just kinda showed up one day in the nineteenth century. The Aos Sí have no idea what their deal is

Though Hamilton plays fast and loose with history in a number of respects, its largest departure from the historical record is probably the implication that Aaron Burr actually learned anything from the whole mess.
In the play, Burr is regretful of having killed Hamilton, and seems to intend to mend his ways.
In reality, Burr was unapologetic for Hamilton’s death, and went on to become embroiled in a series of increasingly bizarre schemes, including an alleged plot to have himself crowned King of Mexico. He was eventually forced to flee America in disgrace, and returned from Europe only after being thrown out of England and told never to return for reasons that remain obscure to this day.
He was basically the platonic ideal of not knowing to quit when you’re behind.

it's a well-known secret among time travelers that you can just do whatever you want to genghis khan and it won't affect history at all. just last week i visited late 12th century mongolia to do a Hot Ones-style interview with him and someone had already given him a PBR baseball cap and a steam deck- the butterfly effect has that name for a reason but temüjin's destiny is just so firmly rooted that no amount of interference could possibly change it. dude absolutely kills it at Crypt of the Necrodancer

Just because it suddenly occurred to me Midge Maisel would be a fantastic companion. Though the actual main character of the last thing I did is Sam Vimes, which..... Hot take but i'll place in the Alright category. It'd be cool, but he has too much counter-narrative power of his own for it to Really Work in the proper companion format, y'know. Cool but something else.
