I'm a captionjack, and that's okay...

[Kumi-chan]

Nice ones Nikkou. Veryy cool.

[Kara-chan]

Yeah, like normal these ones are great, especially the bird one...you're right, it is pretty novel

[Katty]

Very nice captions all around. you sure did make aloy of them this time. =^-^=

[Mitera Nikkou]

I practically had to force myself, but I tried. My mind's been all awhirl lately and I'm having fun trying to regain some sense of focus. ^_^; Not that my captions are ever good, but you know how it goes. You'll probably get some high-grade fertilizer this time. XD;;

Here's another one that's an expression of a story that I just can't seem to get myself to write. Karma bank system or something? XD

Just something silly and typical. ^_^;

I think I could have done better with this one, but I tried. Didn't want to make it too long and all that. <.<;

Something that I've had on the backburner for a while. Isn't really my thing, but I figured the challenge could loosen me up for making other captions. Seemed to work, somewhat. ^_^; But it basically runs off of the idea of how sometimes you dream of something you watched or read recently.

Another caption in substitution for a story. Kind of fanfiction-like. It just seems to make more sense than the original concept. XD

*thumbs up*

[Katty]

I see no problems in your pics. They are all good to me. =^-^=

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Nikkou, you are the ultimate in dang cool captioning!

[Arkain]

...make sense more than the original concept

By 'original concept' do you mean the name X-Men, which is almost certainly short for Extraordinary Men and thus making perfect sense ;D or do you mean something else? Not that I'm an X-Men fan, I don't really read most comics.

More to the point, I didn't like the bunny one. The idea of a happy sentient breeder, especially one who clearly didn't make the choice to become one, makes me somewhat sick to my stomach. Sexual slavery and degradation for the lose.

The others were fine. ;D

[Mitera Nikkou]

I don't like that one either, but I'm just a storyteller. XD And I prefer to write about different things rather than sticking to one theme (other than TG, and sometimes I don't even do that). Basically, I was inspired to make that one because of people who enjoy such things as the kind that you say makes you sick to your stomach. And some people believe that every new idea sparks a new universe to support it. So the guy who likes it gets to experience it for himself. Whether the dream ends or not is left up to the reader. XD

And, of course, I had to toss in that twist to the "you are what you eat" expression. Is that an expression? I dunno. @_@;

[Arkain]

Nobody believes that bit about thoughts sparking new universes, however. ;D It comes from a fiction novel somewhere. Number of the Beast, I think.

And just because people like sex slaves doesn't mean I wouldn't have them shot for keeping one...but I don't think anyone around here does that.

[Mitera Nikkou]

You an't say for a certainty that no one believes it. And what does does shooring someone have to do with anything? ^_^; <-- Is very confused.

[Mistress Guendolen]

And here I thought the bunny one was good BECAUSE it was creepy.... Yes, it's a twisted concept. But so much of the stuff people produce is all sunshine and light, being happy about what happened. Sometimes it's necessary to explore the darker side of things as well. This one did that effectively. All in all, I thought they were all good, though.

[Ninian]

Nikkou, all I gotta say is that art is worth nothing if you can't offend people. So I encourage you to keep doing what you do, regardless of anything people don't like. Let critics be your amusement, not vice versa, because artists (regardless of medium) control the future and nothing drives critics more nuts than realizing that if they can't make their own content they and their values have no future.

*juggles three balls labeled "O RLY", "YA RLY", and "NO WAI"*


EDIT: Oh, and Guendolen? Damn straight. There is definitely a bias towards happy-happy-light-joy-cutesy content around here to the point that other content is edged out or squelched by the Big Hammer of Apathetic Disapproval. If I have any say, there is going to be balance coming, and those who don't like it but aren't willing to express it to others in creative writing or other arts will be obligated to sit down and shut up, or risk permanently bruising their image in the community like Red Text did. If he were here, he'd be harassing Nikkou for such neat caption ideas as the bunny one for sure, common sense (she's the mod!) be darned.


EDIT EDIT: Apologies to Nikkou for the off-topic rant ^_^; Just suffice to say, you have people who support your originality and would fight for it tooth and claw against those who would homogenize and pleasantize everything or attempt to quiet your muse out of fear/shame.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Nina:

I don't want to offend people. ^_^; On purpose, anyway; I can rarely help trying something new. The reason why I often think lowly of my captions is because it's too diverse for your average person, and they're probably finding a lot of garbage and few treasure. But I make captions anyway because I would like to remind people about other things to inspire less staticness and all that. There are many captions that I've made that I personally don't like because of the content or theme, but I thought the ideas were good and I'm not going to let them end with me just because of personal preference. Maybe someone else would like it? And perhaps inspire someone to explore something they haven't before. *Shrugs*

Nina/Gwen:

Well, there's not much one can do about the interests of those who happen to be here, concerning both the producers and the consumers. Personally, I find it a challenge to make things that I don't have any particular interest in; but for others it's probably less about a challenge and more about the sweets. No pun intended. <.<; There are people that want/need to feel good in some way for some reason, and I understand that. And stuff like that.

As for Lio, I don't think he would. I would like to think that we're on good terms and all that and, despite our differences, he would understand. Or, well, tolerate; whichever one. XD

Nina:

No worries. It wasn't too far off from the topic of captions and, personally, I'm pretty lenient with my own topics. At least in regard to most of them, anyway. As for the muse problem, I get more of a problem hearing my muse when I'm being social than for any other reason. When I have no one to think about, or worry about, or issues to concern myself with, I can actually do more than small works, like captions. I'm very easily distracted. ^_^;

[Christina Anikari]

These were nice Nikkou. I must admit for dark i prefered some of the others you have made over the course of the last several months over the bunny one, that one isn't so much the kind of dark which interests me. Still i commend you for actually making it despite what the reactions have been so far.
