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.

Since Ghost is now just using the logo per the recent thread, I think the current caption:

Just doing the work of Satan.

should be ditched since it was originally tied to an older pic showing the band members.

Called the crowner for Ridiculously Small Wings; the caption's added and tagged.

EDIT: Hooked the crowner for Sheathe Your Sword.

This was removed from Timothée Chalamet:

It was removed without edit reason. I do remember this being a super popular meme to the point that Chalamet and Sandler have referenced it a couple of times including at the Oscars.

Edit: Nevermind it was added back.

Honestly not against removing that. It's one of those jokes that is really reliant on verbal delivery and so doesn't really translate well to plain text (since it's just Chalamet's name in ALL CAPS), causing it to feel redundant instead of funny.

The caption for Shinji's pic on Neon Genesis Evangelion – The Children was recently changed from:

"I found something I enjoy doing. Finding something you like and doing just that one thing... What's wrong with that?!"

to:

"I still don't know where to find happiness...
But I'll continue to think about whether it's good to be here...
Whether it was good to have been born.
But in the end, it's just realizing the obvious over and over again.
Because I am myself."

My vote's to change it back; the new one's too long and more fitting of a page quote. Alternately, the current quote and this caption could be flipped.

[up] I like the old one better, actually. I think the Not making this up disclaimer about the image not being fanart (for which it could be easily mistaken) does a better job than a caption which (at least to me) doesn't really makes sense without context...

[up] I dunno, the new caption has more punch to me. Might need a crowner.

Speaking of, here's suggested options for Ominous Hair Loss for a future crowner:

  • The worst part of stress so bad you want to pull your hair out is even if you hold out, it'll do it for you.
  • The stress of being a rock star, super heroine, and mutant can have unexpected fallout.
  • On the bright side, no more bad hair days?
  • *Sigh* "I guess I'll go hang out with Weird Barbie."
  • No one wants to meet Al O'Pecia, he's an ass.

[up]The first one is probably the funniest, so I support that one. tongue

I've also upvoted several quotes from the current crowner.

The caption for WhatCouldHaveBeen.Sonic Rush is a referential caption to another franchise. Safe to remove? Though the sub-page itself might be small enough that it can just be re-merged with the Trivia page.


Also proposing a different caption for Awesome.DCX Sonic The Hedgehog, as I'm not a big fan of "And this is only the X" style captions:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vsdarkseid_sonicxdc.png
"For all worlds! For all peoples!"
"For the future of everyone!"
