This is outstanding. You embraced the deeply abstract nature of Midjourney and expanded it into a journey of the subconscious. The whole story is lived as a dream, subjective, hazy, every part perceived through shifting sensations. It feels like the museum is reflecting more than it is displaying and every visitor has a completely different experience based on their own history.

An "uneasy relationship with reality" indeed. It's at the core of artistic expression and personally something I absolutely relate to. The obvious mastery of the medium you have acts already in itself as a commentary on Midjourney, but the writing elevates it to a bigger dimension, as we're driven to experience the art through every other sense than vision. It almost feels in places like we're going through the experience eyes closed.

What you've made is really a meta-Midjourney story.

Dude.

Wow.

I love thee, lurking God of the forum abyss. We are but humble creatures seeking thine continued protection from the evil forces of oblivion.

I'll reiterate what I said earlier on the Discord chat: let's find a better host that knows what a backup is, and see how much that would cost. I'm absolutely positive most of us community regulars would pitch in.

I think it's more common with bass. There's a special peg with an extra handle that allows you to shift the tuning by a step (and probably half-step too). Youtuber Charles Berthoud often uses it:

(also this guy is the most impressive modern bassist I know. He's absolutely insane and his precision is out of this world.)

W00t! I'm satisfied!

(also my hand hurts like hell)

Okay, I've got it: you're the illegitimate son of Tom Hardy and Chris Pratt. Tell us your secrets.

I'm absolutely down for some Among Us, preferably week nights and before the holidays.

Abbie > I love you.

Teague > I love you.

Yeah I might get them printed to see how it looks on good paper.

I'm on the same overall feeling as you, first and third are my favourites, especially because they're representations of my relationship with mountains, and incidentally go well together as an attraction/repulsion diptych, which is a very strong aspect of said relationship.

Second one exists mainly because I couldn't see "spark" as a theme and not go for one of my most beloved aspects of nature - storms. It's not as much an abstract representation of an idea as the other two but I'm glad I did something with lightning. Bonus, the mountains being struck are heavily inspired by actual mountains I love in my home region, and this scene is basically the photograph I would love to make one day.

You have no idea how much I'm grateful for your responses. People generally have seemed to react well to this thing and I still feel like a impostor but at least I'm an impostor who's feeling good, and that's a step forward.

Seconded, and I'd also like to congratulate you on making the best case for wanting to have kids.

What an incredible piece of text.

I feel like being the first to respond here, I should tread lightly. I can already sense there is a solemn stillness about this particular place in the forum, one we've seldom encountered in the past, one akin to the learning of Mike's accident, or Invid's passing. One that transcends this forum, and binds us all together for our future, whatever it may be. This place should statistically have been dead for years but it goes on, never quite sure what it is and not caring one bit about it. It's just here. In a little more than a month I'll be celebrating my ten years of first registering here. I've marked it in my agenda, with a notification. Anyway, I'll be writing more about what this community keeps meaning to me on December 5th. This is not about me right now.

I'm writing all this because I need you to know that I love you deeply and while I would never have asked anything, because it's an unspoken contract of true friendship that one needn't explain themselves about disappearing for months on end, and saying hi whenever the stars have aligned enough for one to feel good enough about saying hi is sufficient, I for one feel humbled and privileged that you would tell us your story.

Whatever amount of detail is in it, whatever omission you feel you need to do to say what it is you need to say, it doesn't matter, because this is your story, and we, as friends, will be happy as long as you give us what you need to give us. Should it have been nothing more than your typical "hi, I'm still here", again, I would have been perfectly okay. But here comes something else. And there's nothing egomaniacal about it; it means you trust us enough to share it with us. I feel loved and cared about just from you doing this, even if it's a tool for your therapy. Especially if it's a tool for your therapy. That this place can be a tool for your therapy, even if it's one amongst others, has a special meaning, and I can't stress enough how strongly I feel that meaning.

I'm excited too.

And just think about it: you can totally have a kickass TEAGUE'S HORSESHIT banner at the top of the forum.

IT'S ALIIIIIIIIVE

This is the most adorable set of pics that ever was, and there's not even a cat in it so you can tell how much I mean it.

Your daughter is either the future McGyver, or Leia. Maybe both at the same time. Space McGyver Princess. Even her name is already a perfect name for it, and would perfectly sell for a TV show about an adventurous space princess who finds herself in trouble against space baddies every week and has to get out of it through her imagination and whatever she can find around her.

Get on writing, David!

In all seriousness, say hi to her and mommy. I'm really really happy for you three, especially as you've allowed us to follow this whole journey from the very beggining.
