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.

[up][up][up]I don't understand what the caption is trying to say. Is it a Gravity Falls reference I don't get? Is it jokingly implying the speaker's brother was trapped inside the board game? Did the brother die and the box changed to resemble him?

I might be in the minority in not understanding it judging by the votes.

[up]Yeah I think the former is the joke. It's also adjacent to a certain plot point from the show, but that might be just a coincidence. I think it works either way

[tup] to Wilbyr's post (it's my own suggestion, after all)

[up][up] Yes, I'm implying the brother got trapped in the board game. I'm basing that on the film Jumanji; I haven't seen this episode of Gravity Falls.

Cute and Psycho has a caption:

Rena is adorable... until she gets rubbed the wrong way.

It was picked here. I feel people were too quick to agree with it.

  1. At no point in the (main story of the) franchise Rena is a Yandere, that's even mentioned in the work's Fandom-Enraging Misconception. It's a Sinkhole either way.
  2. "rubbed the wrong way" also isn't what makes her "psycho".

Suggestion:

Rena is adorable... until she gets a knife.

Wouldn't mind just axing it since I can't come up with something witty.

[up] Better. I don't really know Umineko all that well but I agree that "until she gets a knife" is a better indicator of her being psycho.

Is this where I can suggest captions for page images that do not have captions?

[up] Yes, it is. Technically you don't need permission to add a caption (unless the page is tagged), but it's always better to get feedback.

Film.Revenge Of The Sith and Main.Fallen Hero share the exact same quote as their caption, so I like to suggest a shorter and more unique caption for the latter.

From a Jedi knight destined to bring balance to the force, to a Sith lord who left it in darkness...

I upgraded the image of The Idhun Chronicles a few weeks back, but now I'm starting to think the caption isn't the best:

Based on the books by Laura Gallego

I mean...yeah? That doesn't really feel like it's adding anything, though. Permission to pull?

[up] It does add exactly nothing (as it's also mentioned in the text), so I'd support a pull
