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.

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.
