SHEZAM! pt. 22

 

Chore Delegation

 OK! This is the last regular caption before I take my break. Thanks to everyone who read and commented every week over the last year! I decided at least one caption every week was my goal and I crossed it thanks to everyone's support and enthusiasm! I'm going to leave this up as the most recent post for a few weeks so that anyone who only stops in occasionally can see that I'll be gone for a bit. Then SHEZAM! will be scheduled to start back up until I'm back and refreshed! 

Make sure to send any Halloween-related requests, GIFs, images, or ideas to SydMixUp@gmail.com any non-Halloween related ones are welcome as well, but the spooky ones will probably be what we get to first. I'm also going to try to figure out a way to keep the requests more organized so so many don't fall through the cracks because I'm a ditz. 

XOXO

The Dress-Up Mess-Up

 

M3 agAIn

 I was excited about the new M3GAN movie and I guess the algorithm noticed and showed me this video of a cosplayer. I'm not sure who it is but it inspired this little caption. It's a bonus I had a quick inspiration for, so there's still two more caps coming before my break! This one is quite a bit different from what I usually do and a little bit dark and sad. The next cap is funny though! 

Surprise Visit

 I tried to come up with an idea as cute as the GIF! 

SHEZAM! pt. 21 + Announcements

 

Hey, everyone. I thought I'd provide a little update on what's going on. 

In general - The second week of July will have been a whole year of me posting at least one caption a week, sometimes more! Staying consistent for 6 months was my goal after only doing a dozen or so a year for a while before. I've been feeling burnt out lately, having a few unrelated writing ideas I wanna try out, just relax, things like that. So after these last few I'll be taking a little hiatus from the blog and then come back reinvigorated. 

SHEZAM! - The current plan is for SHEZAM! to conclude with Part 30, which I will continue to schedule to publish while I'm gone. I have more ideas beyond that, so Billie could come back, but for now, part 30 will close the book. Spin-off one-shots are in the cards too detailing feminization of other DC characters.

When I was playing around with AI images I had the idea to do a whole "Earth 63" thing about a Mxyzptlk-type imp that witnesses Billie's journey finds a whole superhero universe to feminize. Maybe when there's some space between Billie's adventures and some normal captions. We'll see! I have a plan for most of DC's big 7 (that differentiate from anything in Shezam) and a trip to the other comic company too. I'd like to be able to share them at some point. AI images feel yucky to use, but it is fun to be able to explore some ideas.

Hell Week - Hell Week will be our ongoing bi-weekly series once I get back.  This will be much shorter than SHEZAM! But I still think it will be cool!

Halloween - I want to do another Halloween celebration, full of requested GIFs and scenarios, and I'm open to receiving the requests now, so feel free to e-mail SydMixUp@gmail.com if you don't mind waiting. My goal is to have a Halloween-themed caption EVERY SINGLE DAY in October. This will be a mix of original captions, request captions, and the return & conclusion of BECOMING THE FAKE ID as well as SECRET BOYFRIEND and maybe a little visit from TRICKS, NO TREATS

Assignment - I have the image I'm going to use for part 3. If I get a chance to make it before the break, it'll be the last one before the break. If not, it'll be the first one back. 

Sequels/Requests - I can't guarantee that they'll happen, but always happy to hear requests!  I might do another sequel poll, let me know if you'd be interested and I'll start one. 

So Not Fair

 

This is a special cap inspired by Nicegent42's new comic! Similar to the Math Teacher caption from a while back, I was given the story and asked to make a caption inspired by the themes and events of the story with my own little spin. If you want to check out the comic it's really fun and available on Lulu with preview pages on Deviantart!

Results

 Was asked about more Cultural Reset-style caps. So here's one. 😀 

Updated to fix a text boo-boo.

SHEZAM! pt. 20

 

The Passenger

 

SHEZAM! pt. 19

 

Suffering in Silence

 I made this one a while ago and just never got to post it. I think the GIF is cute!

SHEZAM! pt. 18

 

63 Jump Street, pt. 2

 

Manners Taketh Manhood

 I think the title is a reference to the Kingsman movies? I've never seen them but that quote popped into my head. I've been wanting to use Ariana in a cap for a while, so I was excited to do this one! She's so pretty. 

Royal Surveillance

 

What A Drag

 

Change in Perspective

 

Reassignment, pt. 2

 

Reassignment, pt. 1

 

Understudy

 This was a request caption! A little different from my usual stuff but it was fun. 😀 

Guy Time

 

Work Clothes

 

A Lookalike Special Assignment

 This one was requested a very long time ago! But the request and clip were in the messages of my old DA account, the original requester reached out afterward so I got to work on it again, but then I decided to do it over because of the real drama going on with Shameik's reaction Hailee's engagement. Then Hawkeye won the sequel poll so I wanted to space out the "this sissy looks like Hailee Steinfeld" captions. But it's finally here! I think I have enough caps ready to go that we'll get one every Monday and Friday in April. So let's get on with them! 

The Butterfly

 

Snatched

 I have a birthday coming up, I got kind of nostalgic  thinking about SteffieMarieChen's captions that I remember reading all the time when I was younger and first discovering this little corner of the internet. I wanted to mark the special day by making a cap that I think is kinda like her old caps in spirit, I wish they were all archived somewhere. I used to swear by her's and MilesTastefulTgCaps before I started making my own.

SHEZAM! pt. 17

 Billie/Mary will be taking a little break until May. I had a surge of inspiration and have a good number of originals (and maybe a two-parter) I'm excited to share. So we'll get some original and request captions for the rest of March & April and then SHEZAM will pick back up in May. 

As for other series:

Hawkeye Vs. Hot Guy: Didn't expect the reaction to be this positive and for there to be so much desire for a part 3. I haven't thought of an idea yet but I'll look into it.

63 Jump Street: Part 2 will be our first post-April caption. 

Lookalike: The next Lookalike cap is the Hailee Steinfeld one. Sydney Sweeney has been claimed, but I haven't made it yet.

Hell Week: Since I did the first caption, I had to change the way I make and do captions, so I have to track down all of the clips to make GIFs of them again unfortunately. I'll also be remaking the first so it fits into the new style. A little ways off still unfortunately. 

Becoming The Fake ID: I have tons of ideas and even more clips, just been a little busy with all of the originals, requests, and SHEZAMs. 

Secret Boyfriend: I got writer's block after the last installment and haven't revisited, but I'll be taking a look at it again to see if the spark reignites. 

As always, happy to receive suggestions for either celebrities, specific clips, or scenarios. 

Celebrities in upcoming captions (in no particular order): Ariana DeBose, Naomi Scott, Maddie Hasson, Zoey Deutch, Madison Beer, Teri Hatcher, Sydney Sweeney, Hailee Steinfeld, Rachel Brockman. I look forward to sharing them all with you!

Dance to the Music!

Sammi proposed a caption trade where we each continue the story of the other's caption. I chose this lovely story and she chose Busted! So if you would like to see Maria's adventures continue, make sure to follow her over to Sammi's DeviantArt page!

Below you'll find Sammi's original Dance to the Music caption, followed by my interpretation of where the story goes! 

 

Undercover Bodyguard

 

SHEZAM! pt. 16

 

The Goddaughter

 This one was scheduled for later in April but I didn't know what the clip was from until I watched all the Marvel shows to catch up for Daredevil and spotted this scene in The Punisher! So I thought it would be fun to move it up a little closer to the release of the show. I'm excited about it!

A Pair of Your Own pt. 2

 Well, this one was asked for enough that I felt I had to do it. I usually get very bugged making sequels with different models and I have no idea who the model in the original is, but I figured enough people liked this concept. So pretend they're the same person and enjoy  😀

SHEZAM! pt. 15

 

Hawkeye Vs. Hot Guy, pt. 2

 Well, we have a winner. I was just going to make a post simply announcing the winner of the sequel poll to give myself some time to work on it. But I was looking for images to use, saw this, and the story kind of came out immediately. So here it is! 

There's a LookALike caption with Hailee coming up, so I thought it would be weird to have two captions about someone who looks a lot like Hailee Steinfeld without acknowledging it. So this is Lookalike adjacent now, and that caption will be Jocelyn's cousin! 

But, I felt like the competition was close enough that I thought 63 Jump Street deserved some love too, so that will be getting a sequel soon too. Thank you to everyone who voted! It's fun to get feedback and I can't guarantee the other captions will get sequels, but I'll keep them in mind now that I know what there's a demand for! Personally, I threw a vote to RBF when the poll went up and that ended up last place. 😶

Faithful Sidechick

 This is a little one-shot spin-off idea I had for SHEZAM! Showing what happens to the Boy Wonder, and it's Valentine's themed so it's going up a bit before the installment where Billie meets Harley Quinn, so... Spoilers? It's a brief meeting but I thought it would be fun to see how other characters would react to someone changing gender. 

Notice how I said "characters" plural? Weird. 

Wonder who else from the story could possibly have the idea to change someone... any guesses? They've been in the story before, but not as a major role, however they will be helping out Billie and Carter in a couple chapters. Also if any of the incorrect guesses inspire something they'll be retconned into correct guesses. =P

I don't have plans to show more adventures with Lovebug, but this cosplayer does this character a lot so... Maybe. 

Also the sequel poll closes Friday! I'm posting this caption a little early so people have a chance to see it before I announce the winners on Saturday, though the frontrunner seems very clear at this point. Then we'll get the new caption in the next week or two. I have about 8 or 9 other captions including the SHEZAM installments up through #17 (but I have 18 and 19 written out in my lil' notebook and just need to make the captions themselves) ready to share, I'm excited for you to see them.

... Notice how I said "winners" plural? Weird. 

I also thought it would be a fun idea to do a little "prompt" game where people share a title or a single sentence set-up and I turn them into minicaps to empty my reservoir of images I like but don't have specific ideas for, but I'm not sure how to do it yet, if it's a fun idea you might be interested in let me know though and we can figure something out.

SHEZAM! pt. 14

 Wow! I wasn't expecting such a response to the poll. One week left! So make sure to vote for what caption you would like to see get a sequel! A lot of people commented their votes as well, so I'll add those to the votes in the poll. It's really close between Hawkeye Vs. Hot Guy and 63 Jump Street right now! 

XOXO

Sequel Poll!

 Hi, girls! We'll have another SHEZAM! caption next week then we'll alternate between those and original caps each week for a while. 

A lot of similar answers to the "What should get a sequel?" Question. So here's a poll where we can vote on what we think should win. I'll post the link then repost all of the original captions. As for the Lookalike captions, I'm not including but if anyone would like to leave a comment or send me an e-mail to SydMixUp@gmail.com about what celebrities you'd like/what scenarios you think would be fun because it's a little difficult to keep them unique. Hailee Steinfeld, Sydney Sweeney, and Madison Beer are already spoken for, but otherwise go nuts! 

Speaking of Hailee Steinfeld and Sydney Sweeney...

The poll can be found here, it will run until the end of Valentine's Day:

https://strawpoll.com/Qrgew3RdXyp

The nominees are:

Hawkeye Vs. Hot Guy:

RBF:

Mantra of Manliness:

Accepted:

Hiding The Evidence:

63 Jump Street: 

SHEZAM! pt. 13

Was too excited to wait. She's back! With a new look! She'll be back to her bustier self soon, but let's have some fun with Lucy Hale for now!

I think I built continuing this up in my head too much, had a few of the later installments ready but I didn't like the story so I started again, then I had all of the medical stuff that made it hard to focus. But I think I know where everything is headed and have enough clips to get us there. 

Oh! And I get lots of requests for sequels so I was thinking of maybe doing a poll where the most popular request gets a sequel. So if you want to see a sequel to an underappteciated caption, one of the popular ones, or a story I never finished because I'm me, leave a comment and I'll try do the 5 most popular as a poll. A few exceptions: 

1. SHEZAM! is obviously still going so don't pick that.

2. Don't pick A Pair of Your Own, because that one is written already and will be up next month. 

3. Secret Boyfriend and Becoming The Fake ID are on my to-do list. So those are coming regardless.

4. I'd prefer not to do a "Model Unknown" caption, because I don't like using different ladies for sequels. But if the demand is overwhelming enough I'll see what I can do.
