It just occurred to me:
Almost everything one of the Titans has done, be they Yozi, Neverborn, or free, has backfired so spectacularly and in such a predictable way that they should have seen it coming a mile away:
Here's some examples:
Primordials, Pre-War: "Hey, Autocthon looks a little lonely after we dismembered the Clay Man. Why don't we make him some action figures that are even more useless then it was?"
later...
"AH! GLOWY PEOPLE WITH ESSENCE CANNONS!"
Neverborn: "You know, the Great Contagion wasn't as devastating as we hoped. Since Falafel seems to be the culprit in his attempts to help us, let's show him what failure means."
later...
"Do something already! We made you Deathlords for a reason, you know!"
Yozi: "Since our creations could be ordered to do something detrimental to us if we remove free will, let's give it to our Green Sun Princes, but only if they act like really convincing stage villains."
later...
(Said while dangling over behemoth snake pit) "'Let's reward them for using creative deathtraps', you said. 'Imagination is always appreciated in a lieutenant.' Yeah sure, Cecelyne, whatever you say.
Gaia: "I'm sure nothing too bad well happen in the near eon. I'll just pop out for a bit, okay?"
later...
"What the *BLEEP* is the Ebon Dragon doing on Meru!? And how did he graffiti the Silver Chair!?"
Autocthon: "Meh, I'm bored. I'll let you Divine Ministers handle day-to-day life of my worshipers while I take a nap."
later...
*hack*, *wheeze*. "Anyone know a good robo-oncologist?"
So yeah:
Do the Primordials all need to get a clue?
