So, this is slightly different from usual. This caption again uses a generated image, but I actually produced this image while trying to come up with images for something else. I decided on a different one for that, but once I had, I thought it'd be a shame not to use this one for something, and tried to come up with a caption for it (which was, obviously enough, a successful attempt).

Mortal's Test

I've made a sequel to Art Appreciation:

The source image for this caption was, again, found using an image generator.

Art Appreciation

The source image for this caption was found using an image generator.

I know I've been using generated images in captions a fair bit recently. I still kind of prefer drawn images in a lot of ways, but have been having a harder time finding ones that inspire me enough recently. Generated images are not necessarily easier, but they have the advantage that I'm always guaranteed I can get more of them, and if there's one I almost like, then it's usually possible to "tweak" it into something I really like. But I'm just a little bit curious (or apprehensive, even) whether anyone is bothered by me using them?

Halloween Cheer 6: Little Ol' Me

So, uh, remember the "Halloween Cheer" series from last year? The first one was here.

Well, last October 31, I obviously intended to continue the series, and initially had hopes of finishing it that year, but it just didn't happen. Roll around to this year, and I had some thoughts of trying to finish up the series this October instead. Well, it's been far too busy of a month for me IRL, so I doubt that will happen. But I did manage to dust off the half-done next episode of the series and finish it up within this month, so I'm presenting that to you now, just below:

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. It isn't feeling too likely that I'll come up with part 7 all that soon (almost surely not this month), but I do have something big, albeit not Halloween-themed, coming up on the horizon. It's very close to being finished, and I hope you'll all enjoy it once it's done.

Wishing Cookies

The source image for this caption was found using an image generator.

Insomniac

The source image for this caption was found using a stable diffusion-based image generator. To reiterate what I said in this post (at the bottom), I claim no more credit for said source image than anything I found on safebooru or such. Anyway, I played with trying to continue the gradient the source image had out into the background behind the text; I believe the end result looks fairly nice and doesn't hurt readability, but please let me know if it's actually hard to read because of this.

Halloween Cheer 5: Like in the Animes

I did it! I finished this caption in time to post it on Halloween!

But this series is still not over. I hope to finish it this year, so Halloween Cheer is going to go right past October and into overtime!

Halloween Cheer 4: Tech Witch

It continues!

Halloween Cheer 3: It's a Start

It's time for the third entry! The fourth has at least been started, at this point.

Halloween Cheer 2: Werepanther!

I was hoping to have some more parts fully written by the time this second one posted, but have been struggling with them a bit. Well, that's no reason to continue to delay the release of the one I already finished.

Halloween Cheer 1: The Special Surprise

It is finally that time of year again, and I have plans to do another series, a sort of "proper follow-up" to October Tails. I've already written the first two entries ahead of time (i.e., in September), and here's the first one now!

The Cutest Bodyguard

Had another idea for a caption, and wrote the whole thing within the span of just one day. That seems to be the most successful formula, if I can only manage to actually execute it.

By the way, I've noticed a general lack of comments the past few months. My objective thinking knows that this probably isn't the case, but it's hard for me to not feel, at least emotionally, that nobody's reading and I must be doing something wrong. If you have something to say, even if it's complaints about how infrequently I've been posting or what I've been posting specifically as of late, please do let me know. It always feels more real to me to read someone's thoughts than to just see view numbers in the stats page. Or...I guess if something's wrong with blogger that's not letting anybody post comments, you can send me a message on the deviantart so I'll at least know and be able to try and look into it.

Pearls on the Beach

After months of general, overall writer's block and frequently just not having enough time, I was able to more or less sit down and write this one in about a single afternoon. That's just how it goes with writing, I guess.

Minor Miscommunication

Here's a follow-up to the previous caption. It's even longer than that one, so I tried widening the image a bit to keep it from being ultra-tall and narrow; hopefully that works better for readability. Let me know, especially if this is actually worse. (EDIT: I made it a bit thinner and touched things up a bit, including a larger text size; hopefully this is better.)

Also, the working title for this was "little cute wolf".

---

Further edit: Okay, maybe this was a totally failed experiment. I'm tired of fiddling with the image, though, so below is just a "story version" of this.

---

Kane's life had improved significantly of late. Granted, things had been pretty alright before, but over the last couple of months things had really taken off. And it was all thanks to just one person..or what some pedants might call two.

He was a tall, buff werewolf with deep brown hair and fur (aside from a cream-colored underside in forms that had fur there), and bright red eyes. He had a gig as a trainer at a local gym that paid pretty well and let him show off those looks, although he mostly just liked looking and being looked back at. Or at least that was what he thought, until one of his friends suddenly turned into a smoking hot catgirl.

Well, okay—it was more complicated than that, with his pet cat having been a cat spirit and they somehow managed to accidentally combine into a single person, now calling herself Zona. But to Kane, the precise reasons and details weren't as important as the fact that the guy who he'd been good friends with one day had suddenly become a snowy-white-furred bombshell of a woman the next.

Zona had most of Oz's mannerisms, and favored tight pants or short shorts as bottoms and either tight t-shirts or tank tops or, semi-frequently, some of the shirts that had fit her as a guy which now fell very loose across her figure. Everything looked great on her, of course, and perhaps the loose-fitting shirts were the sexiest of all in Kane's eyes. And while she absolutely was a woman, blushing and giggling receptively in response to the stares of most of her male friends, she was also quite a tomboy, not acting much more feminine than before. The biggest contribution one could easily see from the "cat side" of her—that is, the originally female one—was instead a newfound tendency to express herself in feline noises and sometimes casually show off the ridiculous acrobatic skill and flexibility her body now had with impressive stretches, leaps, cartwheels, flips or the like. It was hard to tell—and inconceivable to ask—whether these movements occasionally exposing a bit more skin than whatever she was wearing normally would was deliberate or accidental.

And Kane knew from the day he saw her like that that he had to be the one who claimed her. That's not to say that he thought he owned her or anything, especially right then; rather, Kane intended to pursue her as hard as he could, and hope that either she chose him or it became clear to both that they weren't romantically compatible. Fortunately, it was the former; his initial flirting was eagerly returned, and within a couple of weeks they were officially dating. As he got to know her better, they really clicked, becoming far closer friends than before, too. Around a month after the transformation, Zona was officially the werewolf's girlfriend, and they would get together fairly regularly just by themselves. Her body felt amazing holding on to his in an embrace; her fur was soft in his hands, and her hands knew just how to pet his ears; her tail quickly developed a habit of teasingly brushing against his whenever they stood or sat close to each other; certain kinds of sexy looks from her were enough to practically paralyze his brain function for a moment; and when they kissed...right from the very first time, there was passion and heat for both to enjoy, with the consistent end result of each one panting heavily, still holding on tight.

And now, a little over two months since the change, and nearly as long into their budding relationship, they were on their way out from hanging with the rest of their friends (and putting up with the usual jokes about cats and dogs getting along) when she came up next to him, lowering her ears and grinning up at him. "Hey," she said, knowing full well that this expression mostly broke his ability to focus. "You, wanna come to my place tonight? I'm, getting pretty confident with using my magic now, and..I wanna try something out with you."

"Uh..s-sure." Kane's tail wagged rapidly, his own ears low in an equally friendly expression. He kind of missed the part about her magic until he'd already agreed to come along, but it was difficult for him to imagine this invitation leading to anything he wouldn't enjoy. So he drove to her apartment and followed her up the stairs, watching her hips swing and tail whip around excitedly the whole time.

She glanced back at him as he came into the doorway. "Oh, it's a little chilly, so you might wanna keep that sweater on," she said. Kane was wearing a red sweater with 'Big Bad Wolf' written across the chest; someone had bought it for him as a joke last winter, but he'd worn it regularly from then on anyway, deciding to own it. "Come to the couch with me?"

"Um, sure..." He shut the door, and briefly looked around as he came to sit next to her. Even when they'd both been male, Kane hadn't come by here before; it was a bit too small for a bunch of guests, after all. He thought to himself, if they stayed together to the point of marrying, he'd offer for them to either move into his place, which was way bigger, or even a new place altogether. Nonetheless, it was pretty nice for its size.

She patted the seat next to her on the couch, and when he sat down she quickly scooted up next to him, pulling an arm up around his waist. "You wanna kiss first?" she asked casually.

"Y..yes." She giggled and then pulled herself over him, pushing her face onto his lips-to-lips and treating him to one of the deepest, most intense kisses they'd ever had together. In the process they both got to petting each other, her tail swiping across his when it could catch it—busy as it was whipping back and forth in a happy wag. After about the halfway point, she started maneuvering him around until he was lying on his back underneath her. Only once both of them desperately needed to come up for air did they stop, Zona pulling her lips off of his with a loud smack.

"Hff..yeah, you're amazing," she said, high and breathless.

"You—ffh—too—fhh—cutie," he answered between rapid panting, thinking to himself that this was a real test of his physical stamina.

"Aa~aahnn, I feel so good, with you. I wanna...let you know, how you make me feel," she said, running a hand through his hair. "Okay?"

"Uh..sure..?" Kane didn't understand what she meant by this at all. In his defense, both when she'd mentioned her magic and now were times when most of his mental facilities were mostly occupied with..appreciating her beauty.

"Okay, mrrh," she purred happily. "Just stay there and enjoy~."

The catgirl lifted herself off of him enough to look very clearly down at his chest—or more specifically the text on his sweater. She drew an index finger sideways along the text (which he also felt across his chest), murmuring "Big bad wolf..." It made him shudder slightly as he felt a curious tingling spread out from the area of contact, racing up and down and all along his body. Then she drew closer again, her hands rubbing his ears and her tail curling closely around his. "Oh~, what soft, fluffy fur you have," she said, her high, warm voice seeming to mesmerize him alongside the tender touching of his fur. He felt his ears and tail tingling much more sharply than his skin had, and could actually feel it changing too: The fur of his ears growing thicker and softer, and his tail's fur fluffing out suddenly much bigger and shaggier. "And what long, silky hair you've got," she added, running one hand through his hair while the other continued working on his ears. Kane's scalp tingled sharply too, and he had the curious sensation that her hand was "pulling" or perhaps "lifting" more and more hair out, teasing it down along his back and across his shoulders until he could feel some loose, wild, soft locks touching his forehead and cheeks, shoulders and running all the way down to nearly his waist in the back.

"Mrr, rrfh, rr~rufh..!" Kane was barking softly and affectionately; part of him wanted to lean up and nuzzle her, but somehow he felt like he shouldn't or couldn't..just yet, maybe? He was still too hypnotized by her touch and her melodious voice to really contemplate what was happening to his body, as she now drew both of her hands down through the longer hair to gently massage his shoulders. "What a small, slender frame you have, oh bi~ig ba~ad wolf," she murmured in a deep, sexy voice, and he felt his body melt in a way it never had before from her touch: A warm pressure spreading from his shoulders down through his whole torso, making it compress inward. His broad shoulders shrank narrower, his waist slimmed and flattened, and his height slid down, down, down...Soon he could feel her hips, once up at his waist, down across his own, her legs on his legs. He felt so small all of a sudden, with not just his sweater but all the rest of his clothes having become awfully loose on him, and even though some alarm bells went off in his head that this was strange and unexpected, he was also enjoying it—and enjoying her touch—too much to even worry, much less complain.

"And what a small, round, cute face you have," she continued, moving a hand up to run across his cheek.

"Mrr~rrrfh!" the soft bark that came out as his eyes fluttered closed was higher than all the ones before, and the pitch of his voice shifted in the middle of it too. The way her hand traced along the skin of his face made him realize that all of its hair was simply gone now, replaced by soft, smooth skin, and the warm pressure that had changed his body so much just a moment ago now spread along his face, changing it in a way he couldn't see but felt was making it smaller, rounder, and cuter—just like she was saying.

"Rr~rr, rrfh! Y-yip!" A surprisingly high yip came from his mouth when her hands returned to his ears and went back to work petting them. His face had never really cooled down from the kiss, but now it was warming up to a blazingly hot blush, as he began to notice a peculiar tugging, slipping, tingly sensation down between his legs. With how hot it was making him, he had to stop vocalizing to pant, mouth open.

"Oo~oh, looks like you're huffing and puffing, big bad wolf," Zona teased. "What's going on with your little boy, hmm~mn?"

If anything could've snapped Kane out of it, it was her calling this out particularly. He did register mentally that his manhood was, in fact, shrinking all the faster now that she'd pointed it out, but it just felt so..good as it did so that he still couldn't bring himself to protest. "H-hfhh, rr~rrfh...!" Instead, he gasped for air and barked a few more times, hearing his voice take on a deep, womanly alto tone when it wasn't coming out in high, adorable yips. And soon enough, the werewolf could feel his manhood melting away completely, drawing an extremely feminine "Ooo~oooOOohh..!" as his sex completely changed and she was immediately barraged with an intense, fuzzy feeling down there—a girl's pleasure presenting itself to her in full.

"Aa~ah, y-yip, a~aahnn..!" She squirmed and thrashed in the catgirl's arms, still holding on tight to her.

"Mrr~rh," Zona purred, "Thaat's it. Oh, r-right: What wide hips and long, shapely legs you have," she said, her voice going back into that mesmerizing tone again. This, of course, prompted such a change in the werewolf girl, making her lower body spread out: Thick hips and thighs, and a big, round bottom pressing into the couch beneath her.

"Rr~rrfhh! Y-yip!" Kane now found her hands reaching up to pet the catgirl's ears and run through her hair, gently tugging her head down not to force, but to physically beg her to come down into nuzzling range.

"Mm~mnh..and what huge, round breasts you have.." the catgirl murmured as she gave in to this request, her face sinking down onto the wolf-girl's.

The effect was immediate: As the werewolf began vigorously nuzzling Zona's cheeks and the catgirl returned the gesture eagerly, she could feel her chest tingling and pressing forward, suddenly-sensitive skin rubbing across the material of her shirt and soon pressing into the catgirl's own impressive bust. And Zona..seemed to have slipped her bra off when Kane wasn't looking, too. "A~ah, aa~aahhnn..! Rrfh, rRrrro~oowfh!" This bombarded Kane with wave after wave of girlish pleasure, drawing panting gasps and girlish sounds of pleasure and barks and yips out of her one after another. She could feel her new breasts getting bigger and bigger, and both enjoyed the sensation and encouraged the growth—feeling and hearing the intensity of Zona's enjoyment of what she was feeling from this too, besides just her own.

"Rr—rrfh, yip," the wolf-girl let out, and then with one final, hard push and deeply intense pulse of pleasure, she howled, a wolfish "AAA~AOOOOOO~OOWWHhh!" that might've echoed throughout the apartment complex if the walls of the apartment hadn't already been magically soundproofed. The end result was a deeply curvy, fluffy-furred werewolf girl lying under the catgirl, her enormous breasts squished close under Zona's own. Both of them held on tight, petting, nuzzling, and enjoying each other's touch, for at least as long as the transformation itself had lasted—until, finally, Kane's mind began to return to her out of the part-hypnotic, part-physical-pleasure, part-instinct-driven haze it had been in since just before her transformation began.

"Rrrffh..ffh, ha~ahff..w-whaa.."

"Mrrowh?" the catgirl gently pulled her head up, mewing questioningly.

"Z-Zona, what..? G-get, hff, getoff, lemmeup!" she demanded suddenly.

"Oh! Uh, okay."

She disengaged and got up, quickly taking a few steps back as it registered that something was wrong. This let Kane jump to her feet, looking around and down at herself in a sort of half-panic. "Whaa...w-w-what..?" Her pants slipped off, falling audibly around her feet; her wide hips kept the boxers just barely on. Her sweater seemed to have changed its size enough to fit her slim frame, but it was too long both for her arms and her torso, hanging down so far as to hide her hands and hug most of her hips respectively. The t-shirt beneath seemed to have not changed at all, which would've left it quite loose and overlong if it wasn't squeezed inside of the sweater at the moment.

"What did you..?" She lifted her right hand up enough for the sleeve to slide off of it, observing a small, delicate hand with long, manicured, red-painted nails: A very, very girly hand, overall. "H-how even..?"

"You made me a girl!?" she finally yelled, mortified, at the catgirl—who was now no more than an inch or two shorter than her, reflecting an extremely drastic loss of height for the little werewolf. "WHY!?" She frowned deeply, feeling some tears well up in her eyes and start to make their way down her still-blushing cheeks.

"Uh, um, I-I uh.." Zona was no less distressed than the wolf-girl, holding up her hands and lowering her ears apologetically. "Icanchangeyouback!" she said quickly. "I'm sorry! I thought you, and I'd uh...I..."

As upset as Kane was right now, seeing her girlfriend get steadily more heartbroken as she stumbled through the apology compelled her to take a deep sniff of breath and calm down some herself, for the sole purpose of hopefully consoling her. "U-uhm, change me back? So, you weren't planning on m-making me stuck this way?" she said.

"Y-yeah!" Zona seized on this quickly. "I um..I just...you make me feel really good, when we're together, and I..wanted to share that with you? Like, literally let you feel the kinda thing I do...but, I guess I really didn't explain that too well, did I?"

"Y-you.." The werewolf sniffed again. "H-heheh, no, you didn't explain that at all, silly! The words 'I want to use my weird cat magic to turn you into a girl' did not leave your lips! Neither did 'temporary' or 'turn back' until I was already crying!" Even though she was yelling this, anything resembling anger was completely absent. Rather, she was speaking between increasingly loud giggling.

"Yeah uh..heheh...ooh man, I'm really sorry," Zona said as the giggle fit calmed down. The wolf-girl had some new tears on her face from that, and now wiped all of it off with a sleeve. "Are you, okay? D'you, want me to turn you back now?"

"I uhm.." Kane tugged at her sleeves, pulling them up to the wrists to free her hands, and ran one through her hair—finding herself suddenly curious about long hair like this. There were...plenty of things about being female that she found herself curious about now, or perhaps had been before but the opportunity hadn't so boldly presented itself. "Well—h-how long were you planning to keep me like this?"

"Um, j-just till morning, maybe?" the catgirl said. "Or, if you asked to turn back sooner, then..."

"That's um...that's, fine.

"So you just..wanted me to know what it's like?" she said, folding her hands across each other over her belly. "Feeling uh, good, as a girl?"

"Y-yeah. Well I mean um, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious how you'd look as a girl, too, which uh—wow. " Zona admitted, blushing and folding her ears down again. "You're really pretty..."

Kane smiled, feeling her cheeks warm and her tail start to swish back and forth behind her. Now that she was no longer upset, the wolf-girl found it strangely natural to act more and more feminine herself; being called 'pretty' and especially getting blushed at like that felt very much like a compliment. "Awwh, that's..actually really sweet." It was starting to show in the way she worded things—and her body language, too, now clasping her hands happily together, along with her tail, of course, wagging eagerly back and forth behind her again. But it didn't worry her; she was kind of enjoying it—besides the fact that Zona visibly thought it was super cute! "And, a little pervy, but—I really can't judge you for that..." She leaned forward enough to rub the other girl's ears, drawing a soft purr from her and letting her know without words that all was forgiven.

The catgirl took a few steps closer. "Y-yeah, I mean, kinda 'more than half of me' was a guy for..a long time, so I don't think I'm over a certain obsession with pretty faces and big boobs," she said, prodding the wolf-girl's chest gently with a finger and making her yip softly.

"O-oh, is that all?" Kane grabbed the hem of her sweater in her hands and boldly pulled it up and off, tossing it away to one side. She had the feeling that it was soon going to be a little too warm to wear something so thick for long—and badly wanted to tease Zona with the sight of her shirt being tugged halfway up her torso by the motion, followed by the sight of her in just the loose, ill-fitting t-shirt and boxers.

This more or less had the intended effect, making the catgirl blush and let out a soft, high "Waa~aahh." Then she said, "Oh, w-wow, you've got girl abs! And, you still look really strong too, now that I'm really looking..."

"Heheh, thanks. So you like your girls strong~?" Kane said, letting her voice go deep and sexy, as she grabbed Zona, picking her up into a close, tight hug, and making her mew helplessly in assent.

"Moow~wrrhh!"

"Mm-hm! Rrfh!" That tail was already busy curling around the werewolf's again, but she controlled herself enough to start walking; the way the other girl was clinging on to her now made it easier to do this while still carrying her. "You mind if we go to your bed? The couch is nice, but it's not great for lying down for a long time."

"N-no, that's fine! Heheh!"

Zona's giggling proved infectious, and Kane kept giggling and laughing along with her even as she set the white-furred catgirl on the bed, first sitting down, then guided backwards far enough for the werewolf to be kneeling and hugging her with her knees on the bed straddling a leg, and then finally pushing her down onto her back with her head against a pillow. In no time at all they were in something of a reverse of their previous position—that is, petting and nuzzling each other breathlessly, but with the wolf-girl on top this time. Both of them quite vocally enjoyed this for a long while, before finally coming up for a bit of air, Kane loosening her grip on the smaller girl and pulling herself up just enough to give the space to breathe between their faces.

"Mrr~rrh...eheh..." Zona was gently brushing a hand down through Kane's long, dark locks, making her shiver slightly. Maybe..her base, male form could use some longer hair, she thought, half-imagining the sensation this gesture would give 'him' then. "Y-you know, I'm a little relieved you didn't wanna turn straight back. I-I mean uh, of course I could, b-but, Mina wasn't a very powerful cat spirit...I think doing two changes that big one right after the other would've strained my magic some."

"Rrfh..soo, a night's rest is enough, though?"

"Mm-hm! Pretty sure, mr~rowh. A-anyway, it'll get better with more practice. I mean...if you're okay with being a girl again sometimes?"

"Okay!?" Kane stroked the other girl's cheek, making her purr. "You're being silly again, little kitten~. Maybe sometime, you could be a boy again and lemme know what a kiss feels like from this end?"

"Oh..m-mrr~rRRRrh...a-absolutely!"

"Good..rrfh.."

The werewolf dropped her head back down again, pressing her nose into the catgirl's cheek again and nuzzling it. While this gesture was returned, along with some generous mutual petting to follow, and both of them did blush and let out some girlish and animal sounds of enjoyment in response, this was much calmer than either of the previous times. Zona's stamina was obviously a bit drained at this point—possibly from both the transformation and what had come after—and Kane had to admit she was getting kind of sleepy, too. She helped the catgirl's body relax and calm down enough to sleep, and then let out a quiet, low "Aww~wh" when she heard Zona making breathy, high mews in her sleep before giving that soft cheek one last gentle nuzzle and drifting off herself.

It was nothing like what he'd imagined from the invitation, but on the balance...the experience had been even better than anything he could've! In the end, it was the first of many nights that wound up that way for them—that is, as two girls lying in bed together petting each other—and Kane eventually came to mark that night as when their relationship began to really get serious.

Midnight Merger

This one turned out kind of long for being a caption, but I was determined to actually, properly put out a caption, so here it is anyway. If it proves annoying to read, let me know; I can edit in a "story" version later if it's needed.

EDIT: If you saw this right when it was posted, you might not have been able to reach the image; google has once again screwed things up even worse, this time with how it generates an image link within a blog post. I think I've got it fixed now.

The Catgirl and the Collar

Maybe it's already obvious by now, but I didn't have the time/energy/inspiration to do a big "thing" for October/Halloween this year. I'm in a situation where I just need to accept and post whatever I can manage to finish, as far as writing goes. The positive to this is that I haven't burnt myself out by trying to get a bunch of captions/story bits out within the span of a single month. But I did have this one caption basically completely written before I had the idea for OZK, which just sort of got set aside despite only needing some minor editing. So...no Halloween thing strictly speaking, but this is at least Something!

P.S. This is related to a short series of stories from a little while ago, but not any of the Halloween/October ones.

What's That Like? 2

Here's the continuation from the first part! It'll probably still mostly make sense without reading that one, but you might enjoy them more together.

What's That Like? 1

 

 

Updates have been a bit slowly, largely because I have several things midway through or close to finished that I've been chipping away at. Sorry about that. But anyway, I had a rare bit of momentum recently and managed to go from finishing up this caption to writing a sequel, forming them into more of a two-part series. The next part will post tomorrow! (EDIT: Here's a link to it)

A Blossom Tail

I've had this mostly written for a week or so, but some other stuff got in the way of finishing it up.

They're not required reading, but this caption does reference Cherry Blossom Wonderland and A Tale of Tails. I wonder if I should go back and add a tag for all the captions/stories that Sage cameos or gets referenced in?
