A Message from the Ethical Treatment of Caption Protagonists ..

Did anyone say that Dee wants to get a little bit META? Oh yeah, I can certainly get META!


Or maybe I won't. Yeah, with a teaser like that, I'm definitely going the full-on meta, which is a nice easy anagram for meat, which I've typed just about every single time I've typed the word meta, either here or on the Haven, where I posted this caption I made or Jezebel.

It's a bit of TG fluff, but as I was writing it, I thought it just HAD to be made. We can take so much for granted when we make captions, that the spell-caster / witch / etc .. has everything set up perfectly for the protagonists changes to take place. A totally new life set up, or ways of handling whatever new lifestyle that has been thrust upon them, or into them, or both!

And I'm not even talking about the psychological nature of such a huge shift in dynamics, or the hormonal shake-up, etc .. I mean, just from a paperwork perspective, how many documents, physical and digital, have to be adapted to make the gender switch happen smoothly? W4's, checking accounts and 401K plans, wills, rental agreements, cell phone plans and other legal documents? That's a whole lot of intricate bureaucracy to wade through for someone who started doing incantations in their bedroom because they were picked on for dressing like Robert Smith from The Cure!

So, I went sort of silly and made up this caption to keep us mindful of our responsibilities .. for at least the next 10 minutes or so! Otherwise it would really cramp my captioning style, and just about everyone else's too. Maybe think about some ramifications within the gender manipulation, and play with it like a kitten with a cat-nipped ball of yarn. Push that caption to the next level.

Chat below about the caption, or give me some questions you'd like answered. I will try to do an ask me anything over the weekend for those who give me something to ponder!


A somewhat obscure song that I had first heard back when I was a young child, going through a bunch of 45's that my parents, or some relatives had in an old box. Thought it was great. Not sure it was a big hit, but it certainly should have been!
