Hey guys, I didn't really know where to post this, but as an experiment I put my descriptions from this text into one of those AI image generators to see what the computer would think my characters looked like.

It won't let me publish without it being at least 500 characters long, so I will say that I wanted to do some other characters, but then I found out how environmentally wasteful these image generators were, so I stopped as soon as I found that out. It's basically a Captain Planet villain, just generating pollution and images and that's all it does. But I had already done these so I didn't want to just like, throw them away or anything. This isn't a real chapter, it's just a fun little thing I thought that people might like to see.
It's also definitely not perfect, I have no idea why it thinks that hair is short, for example, because that's way longer than I actually envisioned for her. I also think she's bulkier than it's got her here, and the hair is probably more bright, and obviously, the robes aren't perfect. But the kids look so cute! Also I kind of wish that Toli's hair wasn't quite so poofy, it just really wants to put long hair on people, this robot. I don't know why.

I also wish I could figure out how to just use the picture button and upload the actual pictures, I swear I've done that before. I uploaded some pictures that I drew, but for some reason it's being really hard for me to do today. I've been really busy because I bought a house and haven't been editing book 2 like I wanted to. I've been doing a lot of interior decorating, taking down wallpaper, painting, ripping up carpet, laying flooring, that kind of thing, and that's really taken precedence over all my other hobbies. I'm really liking the house though. I moved into town from the backwoods, so it's a decently big change.
If I can ever get time I also want to start writing The Emerald Knight, I have a lot more ideas for this universe, but I just haven't been able to get time to do anything here lately. It'd really flesh out the villains of this story more, because it'd be from their POV. As somebody mentioned in one review, the whole thing I'm trying to do is show the realistic repercussions of a Fairy Tale, as a psychologist, and "Evil is Institutional" is kind of a theme. Big Bad's don't just fall out of the sky, kind of thing. I don't know that it would add nuance, it just would be another fairy tale deconstruction, just continuing that theme to provide more accurate and hopefully respectful representation.
I need 20 more words. I just wanted to post some pictures. I wish their was an easier way to do that.
