Christmas Break: Unused Image Generations

TL;DR: I decided to take a break. New caption of Friday, have some unused image generations for the past two captions and some commentary.

Hey all. Know I said I'd have a caption up today but honestly Christmas sort of killed me a bit. I've been in dire need of just a mental and physical down time just to recover. I'm actually someone who dislikes Christmas a LOT, so having to be cheerful and fake merriment and act like I want to be around family takes so much out of me that when I finally got some down time...I crashed pretty hard.

Also accidentally deleted my image reference folder that I was using to help make really good Midjourney images, so that really made me sad as well.

Anyway, I already have Friday's caption completed, and I've got about half of New Year's caption done. I may or may not post the Christmas image I had hoped to finish for Christmas Day, but not in Caption form and just have it be a written story with the image I made for it and just upload it as a bonus. No promises on that, however.

Until then, please enjoy this smattering of unused images that I created for 'Collateral Damages: Brian' and 'Cursed: Beijing Hustle' and some of my thoughts to go with them. If you'd like to use or re-upload these images, just credit me, please.

You can see I went through several variations of images that I ALMOST used instead of the pictures that made it into the captions. For Collateral Damages, you can see I went for a more 'casual mom' look that ended up being much less busty and a bit older than what Brian ultimately ended up as. Brian almost ended up wearing that mom-jacket or the yellow top, but once I got the image of Brian holding her substantial new boobs, I knew I had to use it.

As for Beijing Hustle, I originally intended to be much more vague about 'Mei' and what her profession was. Originally I was just going to imply that she was just a normal Chinese woman, but once I got the much more chesty version in the tan/beige colored top my mind went towards implying she was a sex worker looking for an escape. After that it was just trying to manipulate the prompts into generating a woman in a red dress. I really wanted the flower patterned dress but ultimately the image that made it into the caption was the best one.

And then have some cursed images. I decided to troll some of my friends on Discord by making a Rule 63 Grinch. the largest image got the reaction I wanted, which was just disgusted screaming and terror, but honestly I think she looks pretty good, weird Whoovian face notwithstanding. The smaller images were much nicer looking, physically but I generated them on my phone...which the Discord app then ate due to weird connection problems. Sometimes the images stay, sometimes they get eaten, but those two were the only ones that survived.

Anyway, thank you all for your patience while I recharge. I hope that these images and some of the 'directors commentary' about them and the captions is enough to make up for no new caption today.
