Auto-Closet Cosplay Catastrophe

 I'm pretty sure I've seen that title somewhere before, but can't recall where, so I apologize to whoever came up with it for stealing it, but it felt like it fit. Besides, we haven't had a good auto-closet cap in a long while, eh?

And don't forget to enter my first caption contest! https://www.deviantart.com/vthunder42/journal/VanillaThunder-s-TG-Caps-Contest-865495613

For Science!

Done as a trading cap over on Rachel's Haven, although I may have taken more of a hard science turn than I'd intended... (Also, see if you can spot all the '80s sci-fi movie references I put into it)

 

Stupid, Vapid Bimbos (Part 2)

Found this photo and well, it's perfect for a sequel, right?

 

Hingeshift First Date

 Another trading cap from Rachel's Haven, where the recipient specified a few plot details in their preferences which happened to appeal to me, first dates and being stuck in the body of your best friend's wife.

VanillaThunder's TG Caps Contest!

Howdy, folks! It's been a wild year, not only for the world, but for me, since I went from just doing interactive CYOA stories to long-form short stories and captions, and to celebrate, I want to give y'all a chance to stretch your creative muscles. I'd been an avid reader of TG caps for ages before I gave it a shot, and I saw many caption contests, but I was always too unsure to participate in any of them until I started making my own caps and joining the Haven. So as such, I'd like to announce a caption contest of my own!

VanillaThunder's TG Caps Contest!

Theme: Sequels!

I know there are too many sequels out there, but have you been clamoring for a sequel to any of my captions? Here’s your chance to make it happen! Pick any caption of mine that you think needs a sequel, and create one! Now, this doesn't bar me doing sequels to any that are chosen, but I know better than anyone that as a reader of TG captions and stories, sequels aren't always what the readers have in mind, so it's your chance to make sure the sequel hits all of your own personal buttons!

Rules: Personally, I try to keep things PG without any nudity in the pictures (bar when I'm attempting to mimic the style of other captioners who don't adhere to such rules) so I'd appreciate it if you kept things clean.

Other than that, the only other rule is that the caption has to be a sequel to one of my previously posted captions. It can go in any direction you'd like, but I think this'll be interesting.

 

And I'm sure I've got a few other captioners, cappers, captioneers? I like captioneers, let's go with that, following me, and if you want to throw your hats in the ring, feel free to join in as well!

 

 

(Additionally, if you'd like to know the names of any models that I've used in these caps, I categorize captions by model over on my blog: https://vanillathunderstgcaps.blogspot.com So if I know the name of the model, that's where you'll find their name. If there's no name listed, I don't know who they are, unfortunately, but don't feel as if you need to use the same model)

Then go forth my friends, and make a caption! I'm sure there are more qualified sources on how to make them, but for a quick crash course:

I personally use paint.net, a free opensource image editor and all I do is paste the image into the editor, go to change canvas size, stretch it to a little more than twice the initial photo (vertically for vertical photos, horizontally for horizontal) fill in a complementary color on the whitespace and then put the text over it the whitespace. It's pretty straightforward and I'm sure there are tutorials out there who know better than me.

 

Once it's finished, upload the cap to DeviantArt and tag it “vthunder42” so I'll be able to keep track of them.

The contest will run for a month, so it'll end on March 14th and then I'll put the entries up to a vote! In the event of a tie, I'll break the tie by picking the one I liked the most. The 1st place winner, in addition to getting the satisfaction of winning, will also get any cap request of theirs (within reason) fulfilled by me!

A Mixed-Up Valentine's Day

To commemorate the one-year anniversary of my first full-length non-interactive story being posted on writing.com (which I wrote within a single day, inspired by the holiday), I’ve adapted it into caption form! (And yes, I know I only adapted the first part, but the first part is all that was written that day, the second half came later)

 

 

Life Finds A Way

 There aren't any dinosaurs in this caption but if you know Jurassic Park, I bet you know why I picked this title.

An Apple A Day

 

Another trading cap, this time for Licy Biest at the Haven. I came up with this one backwards, punchline first, then the rest, can you tell?

What Are You Doing, Stepbro?

 

If the fact I started capping/writing years after being introduced to the TG fiction universe didn't give it away, I'm not good at doing trends while they're popular! This one's slightly more adult than usual, but I hope I didn't stray too far than my usual pure intentions.

 

 

Naturally Better

 

Stupid, Vapid Bimbos

 This is I trading cap I did for Ashlee of Not2BriteCaps over at Rachel's Haven. The story definitely got away from me and it's a bit of a read though.

The Whole Story

I know it's a bit of a long one, but he did ask for the *whole* story, didn't he?
