"JASON VS. 'THE KID'"In late 2018 I posted here my first entirely self-conceived story (i.e., one not inspired by an MPV video) entitled, "The Kid - A Semi-Autobiographical, Somewhat Tongue-in-Cheek Journey of Self-Discovery (Or, What Happens When I Write a Damsel-in-Distress Quicksand Story and Cast Myself as the Hero)." The main characters in the story are Jason (i.e., myself), a married, middle-aged father of five and responsible member of his community who for more than forty years has harbored a secret fetish for the damsel in distress sinking to her doom in quicksand, the "Kid," Jason's mental projection of himself as a geeky, horny, hormone-driven, nineteen-year-old who embodies both Jason's sex drive and his quicksand fetish, and Angela, a beautiful young college student who in the story is a real-life damsel in distress sinking to her doom in quicksand in the middle of an expansive mudflat. Most of Chapters Two and Three of the story show Jason and the Kid arguing and debating with each other over how and even whether to rescue Angela from her fate, while Angela, oblivious to the Kid's presence in Jason's mental space, wonders just who Jason is talking to and why he keeps getting distracted from saving her. I wanted to use AI to capture a scene depicting the face-to-face confrontation between Jason and his Kid while Angela looks on in fear and trepidation both over her peril and over Jason's strange behavior, specifically inspired by this excerpt from the story:
Jason felt a tap on his shoulder as the Kid sidled up to him. “Just look at her, Jay-man,” his mental doppelganger whispered lewdly, shaking his head and grinning as he pointed toward the trapped girl. “Doesn’t the sight of her frightened face framed by the muck, her eyes streaming with tears and her lips quivering in dread as she feels herself slipping deeper into the ooze, just give you a
charge down there?”
“I’ve already told you I’m more interested in
helping her,” Jason grumbled impatiently to his younger self even as he became aware of the stirrings of a developing hardness at the base of his pelvic region. “Can’t you put your own fetish-level lust and self-centeredness on hold for a moment and think about
her?”
“Oh, I
am thinking about her, Jay-man,” the Kid replied with a salacious smirk, “and how
good it’s going to be when she goes under!”
“You know what I mean, Kid,” Jason muttered indignantly. “Think about some way to
help her!”
My first attempts with Microsoft Designer produced some interesting if sometimes bizarre results which I won't bother posting here; the AI seems to have trouble dealing with multiple main characters in different parts of a generated image (of course, it's also possible that my prompts weren't sufficiently detailed). Among the better results, while I had originally envisioned Jason and the KId arguing face-to-face in the foreground while Angela is trapped between them in the background, Designer at first put the Kid
between Jason and Angela, which I suppose does capture the spirit of the first part of the story:

While these images do capture the dynamics of the conflict, with the Kid literally standing in the way of Jason's helping Angela, they weren't quite what I was looking for, especially since Designer's "prurience" filter won't depict nude women, which is why Angela in these images is clothed. Eventually Designer did get closer to what I was aiming for (though still without the nudity):

After this I then tried
https://chat.aichatapp.ai/ to see what it would give me. While this site is more willing to depict near or implied nudity (e.g., when the woman is sunk so deeply that her breasts or at least her nipples are submerged and/or obscured by the mud), with its veering toward "realistic" images it had trouble capturing the same dynamic range of exaggerated facial expression and body language between Jason and the Kid as Designer had, with some images making it look like Jason and his Kid are having a calm, reasoned, father/son heart-to-heart discussion instead of dealing with a life-or-death situation for Angela. Here are what I felt were the best images of the bunch:

Of these two I thought that Jason's stance was better in the first image while Angela's depth in the quicksand is more accurate in the second.

I liked these two because they depicted Angela's terror and struggle in the quicksand and because the second more accurately implies Angela's nudity in the mud, although Jason and his Kid aren't quite as animated as I would've liked.

I like the implied tension here as reflected in the facial expressions and body language between Jason and the Kid, which along with Angela's position between them in the background makes this a good candidate for a "title image" for the story itself.

Here's where the second site did its best with implying Angela's nudity in the mud, along with confirming why earlier in the story the Kid salaciously remarks that Angela looks "fucking
hot sinking to her doom in the quicksand!"
There are of course many more that I could post, although having already spammed this post with many similar images in which I was trying to get just the right result, I'll finish with this one, which made me chuckle:

Here Angela has clearly had enough of Jason's and the Kid's repeated takes at getting the image right, so much so that she had to put on a T-shirt to avoid getting a sunburn, to which according to my following side-quel story "The Girl" she with her fair complexion is quite susceptible. I can just hear what she's thinking: "I'm not getting
paid enough to do this scene over and over like this; I'm only sticking around because of that starring role I was promised in that 'side-quel' story..."
