If you don't know what to give to a person who has a good imagination but poor drawing skills...

A person close to me has been concerned about my condition related to the problems and troubles in my life for a long time. I don’t even have a couple of dollars myself, so I was given a subscription to a chat with Midjourney Bot. And I forgot not only about my job, about the fact that I have not been paid for 3 months for it, about the fact that I cannot find a new job, but I even forgot to eat and sleep on these weekends. I want to show you what this neural network can draw.

For some reason, I wanted to draw already existing characters using a text description. The choice fell on the third-characters of the animated series. These are my first attempts, when I did not yet know the specifics of the commands for the AI bot. Then everything will be better.

So:

Linda "Chameleon" Evangelista as Aurra Sing.

When your two exes (a space pirate and a space cowboy) ruined your hunt. And while they both try to pretend that they don't need to justify themselves to you and push the blame onto each other... you already know that you will have new leather boots and a leather handbag. But you can't decide what will be made from "blue python" and what will be made from "saddle leather".

Jornie flatly refused to draw "plumed ponytail", "arachnodactyly", "orange wetsuit", "pale skin" and so on. And if I gave too many hint words on the SW, the image became like shots from European cinema of the 70s.

When the Force tells you to put all your money on one of the participants in the sand races in the form of a blond-haired slave boy who feels like a whirlpool in the Force.

The role of Dengar, Adriano Celentano and keffiyeh were made for each other to play in an old sci-fi movie.

This character needs no introduction. It's a bunch of words "anthropomorphic lizard in fighter pilot overalls".

These are the words: "space dragon in a spacesuit." 

I failed to explain how many of the characters should look like. For example Latts.

Jorny didn't understand why "purple skin" wasn't a clothing comment. As a result, images of a cute Korean idol-girl with a monstera in her hands were constantly obtained.

Sugi looks more like a stereotypical working-class girl in Ireland than herself.

The "horns" were drawn by the neural network both as part of the interior, and as part of her clothes, as an element on her tattoos, and even drew animals with rocks nearby. "And who are these Zabraks of yours?!"

This Buddhist monk is clearly engaged not only in contemplation and meditation in his life... but also in cultivation in causing death and mutilation. I think this portrait perfectly captures the essence of Embo.

It doesn't look like this character at all, but you still recognize him. You would recognize him even if I just wrote those words for Jorny: "the protagonist of the Red Dead Redemption 2 + the protagonist Destroy All Humans! 2".

There are still too few eyes and too many ears and noses in my opinion. Reminds me of Ghost Rider.

It was just a warm up. Because all night I was helping Midjourney paint interiors that would fit these characters as a home. It was the best present for me.

And, just in case anyone else is interested, "YES, HELL!". You can take whatever you want from here and do whatever you want with it. All this was painted by Midjourney and now it belongs only to art and Midjourney!

[darklight-owl]

so his name is dexter (i’m gonna change his name but idk what to) and he’s like 15-16 ish. probably from the whitest state. probably from like oklahoma 💀. but he moves around a lot bc of his dad’s job and he currently lives in like.. florida. hes a bit of a twinkie (the thing me and my friends call a boy who is straight, has straight crushes, and will probably marry a woman but ACTS SO GAY ITS SO FUNNY) THIS MAN IS SUCH A ZESTFEST. he plays the piano really well (mf has arachnodactyly too). anthropology nerd. loves anthropology so much and infodumps about it as much as i infodump about my ocs. hes also super nice so!!!! dog person. actually puppy coded. i feel like he would be secretly good at something weird like skiing or like???? archery. HE WENT TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL FOR 7 YEARS SO ARCHERY WOULD FIT SO GOOD. anyway. hes also jewish and religious bc wtf. i can NOT see an anthropology nerd not being enthusiastic about following their religion bc like??? even if that religion is atheism theyd still be into it.

hes also like abnormally tall . i mean not actually abnormally because his grandparents on both sides are polish and the average height for a grown man in poland is 5’10” and dexter is around there so like. but he seems tall bc i would be short compared him. he also has a twin sister named hannah whos the opposite of him in every way, like shes artistic and social and hes just… not basically. i feel like hannah would have a really pretty haircut but anyway.

dexter’s bestie westie is this chinese girl named miu with a genetic condition (russell silver syndrome) that makes her very short (and prone to indigestion) but its whatever bc i love my height difference pairings. him and miu are in like all the same classes and they probably have the strangest inside jokes like i bet dexter would point to the sidewalk and giggle and then theyd giggle theyre so weird.

i have so much lore of him its not even funny. i love him so much i planned out his entire life 🫶🏻

also i made slander of my ocs that imma post soon 🙀

WOAHH that's a lot

He's so silly teehee <3 would befriend him tbh he seems so nice ✨️✨️

Literally I’m so sorry to be asking you this specifically, but I’m wondering if you might know if there’s any way to tell if you have arachnodactyly if you’re fat and have chubby hands? I’ve been going crazy trying to find confirmed signs of marfanoid habitus that are inclusive of fat people but it’s been impossible. I definitely show some signs (eye problems, hyper mobility, arms are long asf according to my doctor) but I’m not able to test everything bc fat

Don't be sorry, love. It's really hard to find models of diagnosis criteria that take fat bodies into account and that's a fucking disgrace.

I'm trying to find some pictures of fat patients specifically with arachnodactyly right now but I can't find anything that could help you picture what arachnodactyly looks like in fat hands.

What I can tell you is that my mom and sister have it too, and they are bigger ladies. Their hands are chubbier than mine, but they're nowhere near as chubby as they "should" be in proportion to their body built. It's not that their hands have no chub, it's that the bone structure under the very much present chub is so elongated and narrow that their hands look much tinnier than they would if they didn't have arachnodactyly.

That said, even if you don't have arachnodactyly, that doesn't disqualify you from having Marfanoid Habitus. Plenty of people with the body type don't have arachnodactyly.

The other help I can give you is telling you about one of the key criteria for diagnosing Marfanoid Habitus; meassuring your arm span and comparing it to your height.

If your arm span is 1.03-1.05 times longer than your height (from 1.05 and up it's Marfans Syndrome, not MH), that's a very strong indicator of Marfanoid Habitus. Mine is at like a 1.04 times longer than my height if I remember correctly.

Scoliosis or other similar back problems are another key mark of Marfanoid Habitus (mild to moderate, as the more severe cases could point to Marfans Syndrome instead).

I very vaguely remember that I recently watched a video that gave other practical ways to help you see if maybe you have Marfanoid Habitus, but I'm a little high on my sleep medication rn so that'll have to wait until tomorrow. <3

Fallout OC Survey Results!

333 responses later, the results are in!

For the most part, I'm just going to present the data without giving much commentary for now. The way Google Forms decided to display the response data worked well for some questions, and not so much for others, and a lot of the time there was just too much data to make a coherent graph or chart, so this post will be a bit all over the place in terms of format. It's also going to be long, so I'll continue under a cut.

(It looks like the cut isn’t working, sorry guys -_-)

Name

I didn't recognise most of the names I saw here, which means I have plenty of OCs to discover!

The most common names were Nova, Thomas, Six, Max and Charlie, with three entries each. Other names that appeared twice were Nathan, Poppy, Anthony, Judith, Chase, Ashley, Joshua, Jesse, Anna, Eleanor and Daisy. There were also a few very specific duplicates that I suspect were the same OCs being filled in separately for different games (which is fine!).

Game

Are they the in-game player character?

Faction

We had a lot of factions represented!

Railroad: 61 Minutemen: 60 Brotherhood of Steel: 48 Independent Vegas or Yes Man: 34 Caesar's Legion: 28 NCR: 28 Followers of the Apocalypse: 24 The Institute: 17 Mr House: 12 Raiders (Nuka World or in general): 12 Non-canon factions: 8 Reilly's Rangers: 7 Enclave: 6 Vault 13: 4 Responders: 4 Great Khans: 4 Tunnel Snakes: 4 Arroyo: 3 Powder Gangers: 3 The Kings: 3 Goodneighbor: 2 Slavers or Paradise Falls: 2 Cassidy Caravans: 1 Acadia: 1 The Pitt: 1 Boomers: 1 Vault 76: 1 Talon Company: 1 Crimson Caravan: 1 White Glove Society: 1 Brotherhood Outcasts: 1 Sorrows: 1 Unspecified tribe: 1 Mojave Express: 1 Regulators: 1 Omertas: 1

Age

Ages ranged from 6 to 252, with the majority being close to or in their twenties (excluding the time that Sole Survivors spent on ice). I decided to leave out the decade question, since it seems to have confused a lot of people and didn't add much considering there was already an age question.

Gender

Cis female: 166 Cis male: 101 Nonbinary: 26 Trans male: 15 Trans female: 9 Agender: 8 Male, unknown if cis or trans: 2 Genderfluid: 2 Intersex: 1 Genderqueer: 1

Sexuality

Yes, I absolutely did make this chart from scratch just to include the flags lol. Green is straight and orange is 'other', by the way. The most common responses in the 'other' category were demi and questioning, with five each.

Species

Race or ethnicity

White: 158 Mixed: 51 Hispanic/Latine: 36 Asian: 31 Black: 15 Other: 8 Native American: 7

Place of birth

US states

I wasn't sure if the map was very clear, so I'll include a list anyway.

California: 53 Massachusetts: 45 Washington DC: 44 Nevada: 36 Arizona: 21 Utah: 11 West Virginia: 8 New York: 7 Oregon: 5 Virginia: 5 Washington: 4 Florida: 4 Colorado: 4 Maryland: 3 New Mexico: 3 Oklahoma: 3 Texas: 3 Montana: 3 Pennsylvania: 2 Maine: 2 Kentucky: 2 Wisconsin: 2 Michigan: 2 Georgia: 2 Illinois: 2 New Jersey: 1 South Carolina: 1 Tennessee: 1 Wyoming: 1 Missouri: 1 Idaho: 1 Ohio: 1 Mississippi: 1 North Carolina: 1 Vermont: 1 Alabama: 1 Alaska: 1 Puerto Rico: 1

Other countries

Russia: 4 Mexico: 4 Ireland: 3 UK: 2 Japan: 2 Australia: 1 Sweden: 1 Norway: 1 Italy: 1 Canada: 1 Germany: 1 Maybe also one for Georgia- I couldn't tell if one person meant the state or country!

Languages spoken

English: 331 Spanish: 90 Latin: 59 A Fallout universe tribal language: 27 Mandarin: 15 French: 15 ASL: 10 Russian: 8 Japanese: 8 Irish Gaelic: 4 Italian: 3 Cantonese: 2 German: 2 For the sake of brevity (which is pretty futile at this point, but anyway), all of the following had one response: Hebrew, Norwegian, Arabic, Cherokee, Sanskrit, Punjabi, Hindi, Korean, Romanian, Shoshoni, Yiddish, Indonesian, Malay, Navajo, Swedish, Vietnamese, binary and sheet music

Medical conditions, disabilities, neurodivergence and the likes

PTSD: 52 Depression: 31 Vision problems, including missing an eye: 28 Anxiety: 27 ADHD: 21 Autism: 17 Memory problems: 16 Amputee: 13 Hearing problems: 9 Migraines or headaches: 7 Asthma: 6 Bipolar: 6 Traumatic brain injury: 6 (only counted when explicitly stated, implied for many more) Chronic pain: 5 Improperly healed injury: 5 Nonverbal, semiverbal, selective mutism, etc: 3 Borderline personality disorder: 3 Narcissistic personality disorder: 2 Seizures: 2 Psyker: 2 Nerve damage: 2 Radiation sickness: 2 Eczema: 2 OCD: 2 Dissociation: 2 Claustrophobia: 2 Eating disorder: 2 Spine problems: 2 Schizophrenia: 2 And again, a list of all with only one response: night terrors, kleptomania, dyslexia, needs a leg brace, rheumatoid arthritis, endometriosis, arachnodactyly, depersonalisation-derealisation disorder, psychosis, hallucinations, New Plague (complete aside: I would be extremely interested in hearing from the creator of this particular OC!), Broca's aphasia, schizoaffective disorder, inability to taste, dependent personality disorder, apraxia, autophobia, agoraphobia, Alzheimer's, albinism, insomnia, post-partum depression, synaesthesia, agraphia, photosensitivity, antisocial personality disorder

Combat style

Aaand favourite cola flavour!

Cherry: 63 None: 62 Regular: 61 Quantum: 38 Dark: 34 Victory: 22 Quartz: 19 Orange: 16 Grape: 13 Other: 4

Once again, a big thank you to everyone who responded. There will be a second part to this featuring the canon character relationship questions, because I have a slightly more in-depth idea for analysing those, and this post is more than long enough already!

Let me know if anything seems off about this post, I put it together really quickly!

[lilyrosedeepdiscomfort]

You have really nice hands

thank you <3 i think its called arachnodactyly

[greenyvertekins]

did you know: I found out I had a hypermobility problem because of you? 11 years later and I finally know what's wrong with my body. Suppose I should thank you for making me realize my "normal" wasn't normal lol

I take it you get joint pain too due to defective joint ligaments?

To be absolutely accurate, people who have just the hypermobility and no other issues have what is called Benign Hypermobility Syndrome.

If you have more specific issues in tandem such as abnormal scarring, numerous and severe stretchmarks, easy bruising, prolapsing, scoliosis, overly long fingers and toes (Arachnodactyly), fragile skin and many more symptoms, you could have an actual collagen disease on your hands.

Another quirk of collagen diseases are how they can influence facial features. This aspect was so pronounced in me personally that the specialist clinic I was diagnosed at took photos of my face from the front and in profile to contribute to medical research into this quirk.

The most well-known collagen diseases are;

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Which is what I was diagnosed with a year ago. Specifically the degenerative form of type-3)

Marfan Syndrome

Stickler Syndrome

and Loeys-Dietz Syndrome (”Dietz” is pronounced “DEETS”)

And they are all classed as rare diseases by medical associations. They are also neglected diseases as they are uncommonly diagnosed and are all too frequently ineffectively treated because they are so obscure. I can attest to this personally.

The Beighton Scoring System and Brighton Criteria Test can contribute to  a conclusion on whether or not you’re a dead ringer for collagen disease. I personally got 7/9 in the Brighton Criteria Test I was put through.
