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.

Bubblepig Steve from Minecraft (Experienced, Not Yet Jaded) Relationship Status: is commanded to— WANK!

Hi, I have to repost this again because it's about a few weeks with no response. Please take your time. Thanks.

I would like to make some captions for Funny page of The Afterparty and the Tearjerker page of My Little Pony: Make Your Mark. So I let you guys decide what you guys think of my captions before I can release it or not.

Here's my first one from Funny.The Afterparty .

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1a61ef63_72d4_4d15_b68b_17b9e97f6a16.jpeg

Context: The image shows the character named Xavier in a music video. The funny part is that the song from his music video is about him singing about how he's not gonna die when in fact he becomes a murder victim later on, hence the Tempting Fate on this caption.

Here's my second one from TearJerker.My Little Pony Make Your Mark.

"For somepony made of fire, I've never met a heart so cold...."

Context: The Dragon Misty went to bed and says this before crying because the Big Bad Opaline ( who is her adopted mother) mistreated her.

What do you think guys? Do you guys think that my captions fit the images or not? Or do you have any suggestions?

Someone just added their own caption, which isn't one of the candidates, to Freeze Ray.

Funny! [tup]

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

The thread for Our Kobolds Are Different had some good captions that I felt like discussing. Any votes?

... I always feel like a buzzkill when someone posts something in "entries that make you lol" and I immediately take it to a cleanup thread, but —

Anthropomorphic Animal Adaptation's caption is "Yes, this was real." This is not very good, in my personal imo. Any objections to removing it and/or suggestions for a replacement?

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.

Can the character names in Parent Service and Girls Stare at Scenery, Boys Stare at Girls be safely cut? I find it awkward. In the former case, it adds nothing; in the latter, I think we can infer who's saying what.
