Any pronouns
On that note, is it alright that some pages on Recap.Ready Jet Go have references in them, or should I delete it them? The thing is that the captions are alluding to the pop-culture references within the show. For example, there's an episode called "Freebird," so I think it makes sense for there to be Lynyrd Skynyrd lyrics. I also added Paul Simon lyrics to the caption of an episode titled "You Can Call Me Albedo."
We are the best friends, we stand as one. Whatever life may bring, we are never alone.

I agree that they should be removed.
Friends forevermore
Only if the references are made within the show, not within the title alone.
Having just pulled
a Spider-Verse ref from Funny.Dungeons And Dragons Honor Among Thieves' caption, I decided to add the bolded part to How to Pick a Good Image:
- (other stuff)
- Captions are not mandatory.
- If a caption text only says "The Trope Namer", "X shows us how it's done", "One of these things is not like the others", etc, this is actually worse than having no caption at all (compare first point).
- Per this thread, captions that refer to in-jokes from other works are forbidden on work pages and their subpages, as they rely on assuming all readers are familiar with both works.
- Avoid captions (or notes therein) that point out how the image doesn't actually fit here, or isn't actually an example. If an image seriously bothers you, take it to Image Pickin'. See also: This Image Is Not an Example.
- Captions are not mandatory.
Anywhere else it can go?

Can the captions on Gravity Falls S2 E19 "Weirdmageddon Part 2: Escape from Reality" and Steven Universe: Future S1E14 "Growing Pains" stay? The former is referencing the same song as the episode title and the latter is quoted in the tweet the promo art comes from, so they're not completely unrelated to the work.
Crown Description:
Referential image captions on work pages and their subpages have the tendency to cause issues because the joke falls flat because of shoehorned potholes, requires knowledge of the referenced work, or poorly represents the work and its characters. What should we do to rectify this issue? All crowner options are mutually exclusive.
Every page on Recap.The Owl House has captions using random quotes, lines, and lyrics from people, movies, singers, tv series, theater plays, and music videos.
Permission for a clear removal?
Your receipt. You can keep the freakin' change.
