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

Lucky:

You know he won't be that lucky. Unless Steven is you in disguise. XD

I'd punch them in the throat! >=o

[Katty]

Nice set of captions you got this time Catty. I hate Bee's in real life, but I love anthro transforms, so I'll let it slide.

I can't view the video one. Just won't load.

As for my fav, has to be the last one on the list. I just cracked up when I saw the pictures you used, Catty

=^-^=

[Mitera Nikkou]

Well... This batch should mean that I've made 400 captions to date. It also means that I'm going to be focusing on other things from now on, or at least try to. I don't think I'll ever be able to stop making captions so I'll probably make one every here and there; no more batches, though.

So, anyway, here's the last batch. I was in a weird mood when I made these so I don't know how they turned out.

I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with it, but there you go. ;/

Warning: A bit of boob. This was inspired by a legend that I had heard a number of years ago. I suddenly thought of the person who had told me, got worried about how they're doing since I haven't heard from them in years, and I thought that it wouldn't hurt to share a little piece of my experience with them. A bit of a memento, I guess...

Jokes are good for the STUFF.

Warning: A bit of much boob. Again, jokes are good for the STUFF.

Warning: For a graphically-disturbing image, perhaps? O.o; Caption 400... This was it. What could this mean!? @_@

Katty:

You may need to get a plug-in for your browser that is more recent. If so, I think you'd need to look into the Macromedia site and see about the shockwave flash stuff.

[Katty]

I'll have to look for that plug in some time then. Anyway, grats on 400. Gotta say that number 399 kinda weirded me out on the first glance. But it was a good caption once I read it.

Have to say that #397 was my fav out of this batch. I wonder where that picture is today.

=^-^=

[Mistress Guendolen]

And I want to know the legend that inspired the second one! I don't believe I'm familiar with it....

[Mitera Nikkou]

This was how the legend was related to me. As far as I can tell it's only written in the book of Kells and, outside of that, has survived orally.

I'd also like to give a fair warning about some of its content. It refers to some adult stuff. Anyway, here it is. :O

Meriax was born in Hebron, an ancient, southern Irish town. He was very beautiful, with long red hair, and no body hair. One day, as he groomed his mother's horse, he was kidnapped by the Brihens, brigands from the north who sold children into slavery. Meriax served the Brihens until he was 13, naked, and half starved. The only one who cared for him was Berh, a young girl who loved him deeply. Meriax had fallen ill, and was dying, due to the starvation. Berh waited with him in the field, all day and night, regardless of the weather. She would leave him only to steal food, but Meriax died, all the same. Bridda, the goddess of feminity, beauty, and love, appeared before Meriax's prone body, and Behr. Behr was so struck by her beauty, she was shortly blinded. Bridda kissed the head of Meriax, and he returned to life in a gasp. Bridda vanished. When Meriax awoke, it seemed nothing had changed. As the days past, he grew more beautiful, and his lecherous captors forced him to work naked. One day, the Brihens, seeing his beauty greater than before, raped him repeatedly, all of them. Meriax weeped and seeked Behr, hugging close to her chest. However, the Brihens found themselves, losing their masculine features, but none of them wanted to say anything about it. By the end of the day, they had all become female, and when their buyers had come, mistook the now female Brihens for the new slaves, gagged them, and took them away.

With his captors gone, Meriax fled back into the south, taking Berh with him. They came upon the town of Lygorix. By this time, Meriax's body was almost indistinguishable from that of a women, aside from his penis, which had rapidly shrunk. In Lygorix, he wrapped himself in a roha (a woman's linen robe) that he found hanging upon the exterior of a house, drying, and fetched another for Behr. They built themselves a rola, a round, domed, stone house. There, Meriax and Behr had sex for the first time. As they made out, Behr had reached between Meriax's legs, and found the last remnant of her malehood had gone. The original story describes in quite a lot of detail what happens then. How to put it non-crudely? ...Their tongues got introduced to a second set of lips. ^.^;;; When they were done, Bridda appeared again, but in such a manner as to not blind them. She told them that Meriax's touch would transfer her blessing of femininity to any who touched her, and that this ability would be passed to any whom she did aforementioned naughtiness with. Bridda told her that it would bring youth to the elderly, and great beauty, and change any into a woman. Bridda explained quite plainly that she had no desire to have men in her lands, and created Meriax as an example. Any touched would also lose any want for men. So, Behr and Meriax went about touching all they could, and seducing some to increase the rate at which it would spread in the town.

When her work was done, Bridda hid the town, creating thick forests around it. Any who would stumble into the town quickly joined the population, including several invasions that managed to cut their way through the forest.

The legend states, Bridda's women await a sign to leave their town and enter society, slowly spreading their femininity to the whole world

[Mistress Guendolen]

Interesting story. Though I wonder if it's a real folk tale, or just something someone fabricated in that vein.... Never heard anything like that before.

[Mitera Nikkou]

I believe that it was an old Irish tale before the Irish wrote stuff down, or wrote at all. Beyond trusting the storyteller I also know that even one story can spread into the future as a similar story, only as similar as the different regions and the locals' beliefs will allow. Which is why you may get such stories as Noah and the great flood after the Sumerian story about a great flood.

From what I remember, I think they also mentioned something about Mabe Morda, but there doesn't seem to be a thing about her on the Internets. Somehow, considering what kind of stuff this is about, I can understand. Anyway, they said that legends about her are vague, but it seemed that all prisoners that were taken were turned into women and thus more soldiers for her army since she only desired females.

The reason why I don't doubt these kind of stories is because I've heard a lot of wild and/or twisted tales that have been completely proven to exist as real folk lore/legends/myths. And it's common for a specific idea to spawn more than one version or complementary relatings of the central idea. Kind of like how we've got so many different virgin goddesses over the course of time and place and how many of them still retained some qualities of a pre-existing one.

[Ninian]

It's worth noting that the last part of that -- particularly about invading forces being lost to femininity -- is in late Roman mythology in an aspect of Venus, Castina, who not only infected an army of invading Scythians into women, but made it so they infected their firstborn with it. This much IS written. So there is some interplay, lending some possible credibility to that story.

[Katty]

Though I know it is a stretch, I do wonder if anyone ever found hard proof of at least the forest. If the legend is somehow true, I would understand that no one could really find proof for they would be changed if they ever found that city.

I also agree with you Catty. I have heard some really weird fokelore / legends before and then found proof that they had a good chunk of that real.

=^-^=

[Raleigh]

A legend I am not familiar with, most interesting. As for its validity, I myself am not overly familiar with Irish folktales despite the fact that I should be with my heritage, but I'm willing to give it a shot to see what I can find with my mythological research sources. Interesting story and I do believe I have heard similar myself in a few settings but have forgotten them by this point in time, too many years since my last major dive into the worlds of myths.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Akemi:

That one had slipped my mind. Where is Ascelon, anyway? I swear that I once knew... I keep thinking back to the Trojan war for some reason.

Katty:

Well, the town has a name... I haven't looked it up yet because I'm having serious Internet connection issues that are driving me absolutely mad. But I figure that the chances of finding something about it on the Internet isn't likely. There are some things the Internet just can't provide.

Raleigh:

From what I know there should be bits and pieces of the legend in the book of Kells. If you can manage to read anything from that you should be able to ascertain its validity.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Well, since there are probably people checking this and seeing posts instead of captions, I figured that it wouldn't hurt to toss out a caption to make up for it. Or something. ;/

This one has probably been on my backburner longer than any other caption. But I finally decided to tackle it and this is the result. It's not exactly what I was after and I couldn't fit in a few details, but I guess you'll have that.

[Raleigh]

Must be a different source there, SC. The book of kells according to my research just has 4 of the books of the new testament in it as well as a list of Hebrew names, a table for researching the various books takes on different points in the life of Jesus, and some really nice artwork with letters. Some of the best I've seen in awhile actually. Admittedly, some of it is missing since it was stolen in the 11th century but I think it would mostly be Christian in origin all the same, supposedly one part of it that is missing is a letter to the pope that should have been in there.

By the way, I like that new caption. Very evil and yet amusing all the same.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Who knows. Though perhaps there's some book that has collected Ireland's oratorical tales somewhere, that could be investigated.

It was evil? I didn't see it that way. I wonder what that means. <.<;
