Bonus: What's down that hole?

This bonus post is now unlocked for everyone!

In the main post I experimented with Pixray Swirl, which I could use to build an image and then sort of zoom into it. It took me a while to get the hang of steering, and I never quite got precise enough to aim into the precise center of where I wanted to go.

It charitably tries to keep the hole in the frame, since at least it knows that every frame is supposed to contain a hole. But my aim was definitely off. And I think the bottom of the hole ended up getting further away?

This was my first attempt at steering into a hole, and I was WAY off.

I also learned that the word "mushroom" is pretty much poisoned by association with Super Mario, and any attempt to use the word "mushroom" in a serious prompt is doomed by goofy cartoon faces.

Here I did slightly better at steering! We never got to the end of the corridor but I think we got somewhere.

I really want to know why the person with the purplish bowl haircut keeps showing up whenever I do a prompt involving poisonous plants.
