By "former Don Juan", I take it you mean the first one? Well, with his propensity to explain things more than necessary, (S)he'd make a good narrator, I suppose...

Okay, here's the deal: The first two continue existing themes I've done, and I really can't expand them as-is. Therefore, I'm satisfied. The other three, however, are either incomplete or wound up as something entirely different from the original concept. Our cheating friend, for example, was originally supposed to have been punished for a series of indiscretions so outrageous, the reader most likely wouldn't identify with him. Problem is... I really can't identify with scum like that on any level either, and I couldn't think of anything really out there. The other two just feel lackluster to me. The buzz that came when I started doing these has worn off, I guess, and perfectionism is now swinging her hammer around in my head.

But I'm just rambling now. Long story short, I've pretty much run out of ideas from the current pool of images I'm working with, and these last three are basically the result of trying to just "wing it". So, at this point, some overall comments and criticisms on the body of my work would likely be the best thing as I begin a journey in search of more images to caption.

Right, just one for now...

Ooh, trippy! Pleasantly creepy. Nice. :D

I've wondered about that sometimes. You know, what it'd be like to wake up as someone else, finding that the life you lived was all a dream. >_>

Question is, which one is dream and which is reality?




IMAG: Kukuku...

I am victorious! Behold my triumph! Muhahahaha!

IMAG: What's so confusing about my triumph over that softhearted softy-soft loser?

Which reminds me... So many captions have people changing their best friend's gender and the two becoming a couple just like that. Ha! Unrealistic drivel, I say! Here's what really happens.

Interesting twist on what is definitely a TG cliche without being over the top.

First one, creepy. Very creepy. I love creepy! Good job.
The second one was short, creepy, and very good to me. I wonder how things will turn out?
The last one, was sad, not scary.

Ugh, five hours to realize the cage was just a Freudian construct... and what the heck has he been posting!? Talk about throwing common sense out the window...

IMAG: A five story one, in this case. Kukuku...

Yeah, and there'll be hell to pay when he gets out of the hospital... He did a caption, too!? Huh, dialogue could use some work.

IMAG: Ah, gimme a break. I'm not a fop, like you.

And... Musa dance? I must still be out of it...
