Quicky JPG: Yuki Onna! She's so cool a Youkai to read about... and it was a nice twist from the usual "lure travellers in from snowstorm to let them freeze to death" the legends have.
The last one you like so much I can't approve of. Not only do I think it really pushes the PG-13 limit (for violence this time) but I think the next incarnation will be able to help you somehow... (since the inner self -- male, female, neuter, tree, brick -- is what drives it, not some insane conversion-crazy fundamentalist Christian impulsive nonsense). Though if that were one of the fetish-originated Eternals... she probably had it coming.
Still... kinda R-rated *sighs*

It's all in good fun.
Actually, if you can remember WAAAAAAY back in the day. This was the pic Yumi used for one of her "RPG pics" for her Dungeon and Dragons section of the site. So I figured it'd be ok.
I'm not the one in charge here though, so hey mods. What you think?

Yuki Onna!
BTW. I have NO idea who that is. I just thought the pic looked cool.

Very good! And it was nice to see some of your older captions again.
The caption with the girl staring out the window, where Simon got his wish, appealed to me the most. The image was beautiful and portrayed a sense of yearning from the girl. Also, I know a few who are and/or were in Simon's position in an Internet relationship.
Besides a few errors with where you placed some periods, they turned out alright. Oh! And do you call your sister meatball head? ^_^

At times. Though she retaliates with 'spegetti brains' ........

Heh... Well, our brains do look noodle-like...
You know, I have a story where Ranma's Serena's sister, and together they're called "spaghetti and meatballs." I mean, what's spaghetti without the sauce, ne? ^_^;

Garath, the Christmas one was exceptional.
And as for Yuki(snow) onna(woman) it's a Japanese legen about a woman who will meet men in cold weather and tempt them. If they are nice men, she may help them. If they are wicked... well... do the math.

Gotta say I really like the last one too. Even with the way the touch has been revised.
The Christmas one is pretty nice as well.

To just look at, I mean violent content-wise, it's no worse than Kou has posted and the red stuff isn't visible. No edit at least in my opinion. I'll offer any further opinions, if I have any, later.

Yeah, it's like Kou said. Yuki Onna is a Yokai (yeah, the "u" escaped for now) that did pretty much almost exactly as the spirit in your caption did. I think it's pretty neat you inadvertently used one of the cooler Japanese spirits without even realizing it.

Funny enough, Yuki Onna was also the name I went by when playing Half Life over in Pakistan. Although I got the name from http://www.akane.org/heartsofice/ . The Yuki Onna in there starts out a bit cruel, but ends up pretty nice.

That fits her legends pretty well. Sometimes Yuki Onna is portrayed as cruel and tragic, and sometimes she's just tragic and doesn't know any better. There are a few Yokai that have the name "---- Onna". Sakura Onna, for example, is a beneficial spirit woman who healed a wicked heart. Kuchisake Onna is a scary woman with a slit mouth that goes from ear to ear in a horrifying permanent grin who accosts men and demands to be treated as beautiful. Kera Kera Onna is this joyful woman with a huge head that tries to make people laugh and smile and is like the spirit of joy itself. Futakuchi Onna is actually born out of anorexic human women who's own body tries to make them eat by growing a mouth in the back of their head. And who can forget Hanako, the female spirit that haunts toilets in men's bathrooms all over Japan?
Those are all the pure female spirits I know of in Japanese lore.
Oop. I ramble and derail. My apologies, Garath *ducks out*
