Caption Discussion/Repair Thread:

Go To

This is the thread to use if you feel that the page image itself is good but the caption needs help.

If you think that both the image and the caption are poor, please make a thread in Image Pickin' for the page, and we'll work on the image and caption both at the same time.

As with other TRS and IP threads, please state your reasons and make your case in your first post. Don't make the other posters spend time trying to pry it out of you.

The caption on I Just Want to Have Friends links to a source on Tumblr, but the account seems to have been taken over by a third party with all trace of the actual creator being erased.

We reblogged the post and saved that link in our to-do list so we can find it if that happens again.

I do not get this caption from Cathartic Crying where the caption pothole it to The Dark Knight Rises when it's says "When the day saved, you have a permission to cry".

[up] The caption's fine by itself, but the pothole doesn't make any sense to me either.

[up] It's a reference to a quote from Bane. "Then, when it is done, and Gotham is... ashes... then you have my permission to die."

Three moments pages for Lycoris Recoil have references in them. Awesome.Lycoris Recoil references Persona 5, TearJerker.Lycoris Recoil references Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and NightmareFuel.Lycoris Recoil references The Dark Knight. The Awesome page has a not that is more connected to the image, but I'm not sure if it should stay or go. Permission to remove?

I’d like to make a change to the caption for Series.The Midnight Club 2022. Right now, it just says “To those before…” I’d like to propose the full quote: “To those before, to those after. To us now, and to those beyond…”

The caption for Be the Ball is funny, but I also feel like it's unwanted.

[down] It is.

Unless it's refering to a certain fetish I don't get what it means and it's not needed either way.

The caption for 20th Century Studios is pretty long and just has a vocalized version of the fanfare (with Ralph Wiggum). I feel it could be shortened to something small and a little better.

I remember one time it had a joke about the show’s prediction of 20th being bought by Disney. Maybe instead we could have:

A Division of Walt Disney Co.

Something like that?

Technically no since the link tags break it up.

Animated Adaptation's caption is potholed to Boldly Coming. I haven't seen the original Star Trek: The Original Series, so I don't know why is this relevant.

I'll remove the pothole.

Ironically, nobody questioned it when it was brought up in the thread.

The clock ran out on Space Whale for caption discussion, and I wanted to suggest this sea shanty inspired by the Wellerman's Song. I don't want to just re-suggest the same thing, so I took the time to make the lyrics more closely match the form and meter.


"They tell of whales soaring high and free"
That swim the stars and nebulae."
