#custom hatband
Note
I knoooow that this is your story but I have to share a cute little idea.. Star makes Arthur a new hatband for his lil cowboy hat with some type of meaning behind it like (maybe whatever she uses, tiny rocks, beads, etc) remind her of the color of arthurs eyes, or she gets him a belt buckle with a custom design engraved, maybe stars/a constellation? Or both of the hatband and the belt buckle? Idk! Could be a birthday gift for him. He's always naming and giving star stuff so I dunno!! U dont have to post this on ur acc, u can just read it, but either way! :) đ your story･^âż^･
ANON I LOVE THIS. GO BACK IN MY INBOX N LMK: can I use this idea? I gotta ask cause it's your idea and I don't wanna steal it. You're incredible anon, see this is why I LOVE keeping you guys so involved in tfiye

A.I. illustrators are still trippy.
I know a lot of visual artists are having a freakout about how quickly illustration AIs are improving. Theyâre worried theyâll be put out of work. Customers and patrons will just type a description of what they want into an AI app, and out will come the fulfillment of their desires.
As someone who has been using the MidJourney AI now for months, let me tell you that that day is not yet at hand.
Donât get me wrong--the latest version of the MidJourney AI is amazing. It has a great sense of composition, is excellent at capturing stylistic vibes, and is capable of a photorealistic feel.
Ask it to produce something novel based on popular cultural figures, historical periods, and artistic styles, and it is gold. You want a painting of the Joker in the style of Rembrandt? You got it!
But specify details that are less common, and the AI is just going to fudge it, in creative but often truly bizarre ways. So:
I asked MidJourney v4 to draw me an anthropomorphic cat version of Sherlock Holmes, in a Victorian street, smoking a pipe. This is probably the best image I got out of many rerolls and tweaks of the search, and a lot of it is great! The depth of field, the light, the fur textures, the Victorian feel. The steampunk detail of the top hat is a lot of fun. But. . . why is the smoke coming out of the hat, not the pipe? I suppose because the pipe entirely enclosed. . . not a very functional design. And look at the hand, eek. MidJourney is very agnostic as to the number of appendages a person or creature should have. And the text on the sign in the background--is that Cyrillic or Greek or the Roman alphabet?
Rerolling the search and hoping for a more plausible hand and pipe, I get this:
The clothing and setting are again excellent. But. . . what is up with the ears? Does the pipe end in a blob of solidified smoke? Of cotton wool? Of an abstract mouse sculpture? And oh ghods. . . the right hand. Does it have a dozen fingers? Letâs try again.
Ok, now the pipe is just a stick, and Sherlock the Cat holds some bizarre smoke-fuzz creature. Clearly we need to keep trying to tweak the prompt with descriptors of the pipe shape and how it is held. The result?Â
Oh, better! Kind of. Our Sherlock-cat is now smoking a demitasse espresso cup, but the pose is right. Six fingers on the right hand and seven or eight on the left, but it feels like we are getting close. I like the detail of the mirroring quadrupedal cat in the corner of the image. Letâs try again!
This looks great initially. Then you notice that the quadruped cat in the corner is some kind of small eldrich horror. And Sherlockâs left ear and hat are a single item, with what appears to be a bonus third ear in the place of a feather in the hatband. And what is going on with the bicycles in the background?Â
Once more unto the breach!
Great outfit here, and I love our Sherlockâs coloring. But. . . now the cat in the corner has morphed into something Sherlock is smoking. I presume that the AI was exposed to a few meerschaum pipe images, while tripping on the entirety of Google Images. And we get six fingers on the right hand and an earhat again. Are we getting any closer to a ten-fingered, pipe-smoking Victorian detective cat--an image that wonât make human viewers tilt their heads and feel vaguely woogy inside?
No. No we are not. What the heck! Sherlock smokes a cat tail, while a bonus tail frolics by itself on the Victorian cobblestones. Dare we try again?
Uh oh. MidJourneyâs definitely gone Lovecraftian.Â
Now instead of the pipe being a small cat, the corner-cat is a pipe.
The pipe is a tophat! The anthro Sherlock-cat and the corner quad-cat have merged into a single entity! The fur is a suit! And the entityâs eyes are multiplying. . . Â
For sake of our sanity, itâs best to stop.
At least our journey has brought us some understanding. Illustration AIs are becoming better and better at doing what we want them to do. But they are also very, very high, and they insist on putting their own vision into what they produce.Â
And that, in the end, is what makes them fun for me! But I donât think theyâre going to drive human artists to extinction any time soon.Â
And remember, similar hand-wringing claims were made about the end of human artists when photography was invented. The camera did empower ordinary non-artists to generate all the self-portraits their hearts could desire. And artists were freed thereby to do other things.

Consider Hat Fabrics

Mourning period in the Victorian era
 The Victorian Era introduced some of our current funeral traditions such as the dark clothing wore in funerals. It started with Queen Victoria as she is notably known for her deep love for her husband, Prince Albert, and her 40 years of mourning following his death in 1861. In response to her husbandâs death, Queen Victoria went into mourning, and her very public practices influenced many nations, creating a shift in funeral customs and how grief and mourning were expressed. Following Albertâs death, Victoria dressed in full mourning up til her death. Her example led to the population copying her style of dress, and certain expectations were set in place. Mourning clothes were considered an outward expression of a personâs inner feelings. Societal rules were especially specific for women. In âdeep mourning,â womenâs clothing was deep black and non-reflective, often trimmed in black crepe, and worn with minimal or no jewelry. Additionally, widows were expected to wear a black silk âweeping veilâ or âwidowâs cap.â After a specified time, a woman moved into âhalf mourningâ where colours like grey and lavender were permitted with minimal ornamentation. For men, fashion was much easier â they simply wore dark suits with black gloves, hatbands, and cravats. Children were not expected to wear mourning clothes, and for those who were wealthy, servants even wore mourning clothes.

During this time, people were spiritual and believed in the supernatural. Because of this viewpoint, there were a number of superstitions surrounding death:
Victorians carried the deceased out of the home feet first so they couldnât look back and call someone else to follow them.
Curtains were closed and mirrors covered until after the funeral so that the deceasedâs image wouldnât get trapped in a looking glass.
It was thought that you might be next if you saw yourself in a mirror at a house where someone had recently died.
To prevent bad luck, all clocks were stopped at the time of death.
And somewhat creepily, Victorians turned family photographs face-down to protect family and friends from possession by a spirit of the dead.
The Victorians had no illusions about death. Mortality rates for children were high, and even if you survived childhood, many adults didnât live past 50 years. In this era, death was so certain and people prized an elaborate funeral service. Because of this, many families saved for years to pay for a funeral service. In fact, women frequently made their own shrouds and included them in their wedding trousseau.
