#netflix captions

[toastingpencils37]

About Netflix captions (again), but this time not a character name.

So in Season 1, the captions call the Serpentine Anti-Venom the "Anti-Venin". Which fucked with me, because unlike Morro & Killow, I didn't know for sure if Venom was the actual spelling or not. And it can kind of sound like "venin" at times.

But when you look it up, nothing says it's "venin", but that it is "venom". So yeah. Netflix captions fucked with me.

Love how upset the fandom at large is on behalf of George. Netflix did him so dirty.

Sometimes you don’t NEED skin on skin

Just to really bring the point home for those who have not read the Six of Crows duology and think that Inej deserves to “have some fun before she finds her way back to her true love”, or who perhaps think that a love triangle/jealousy drama would somehow spur Kaz into action (do you even know Kaz Brekker?):

For someone connected to the production to caption a photo of the actors with the (crack) ship name of their characters (“Tonej”) and talk about “skin on skin” might seem innocent (”it’s just an Insta post”), but let’s look at the context for those who are upset by this – some of whom have suffered similar traumas and find comfort/inspiration in Inej’s character.

Here is a sample of Inej’s previous experience of skin on skin:

There were young men, old men, handsome men, ugly men. There was the man who cried and struck her when he could not perform. The man who wanted her to pretend it was their wedding night and tell him that she loved him. The man with sharp teeth like a kitten who had bitten at her breasts until she’d bled. Crooked Kingdom p. 274 Kindle version

And these are the men she remembers; mostly she forced herself to go numb, while making all the right noises and moves so Tante Heleen would not abuse her further.

Because she loves Kaz, she tells him she is willing to work on that trauma IF HE WORKS ON HIS. This does not mean that she is itching for skin on skin action there and then, it means she wants to be ready for it if they are to have a future together. 

What if he had come to her, laid his gloves aside, drawn her to him, kissed her mouth? Would she have pulled him closer? Kissed him back? Could she have been herself in such a moment or would she have broken apart and vanished, a doll in his arms, a girl who could never quite be whole? Crooked Kingdom, p. 275 Kindle version

This is her mindset as she boards that ship in S2E8. She does not need a man who is basically a stranger to be her ticket out of trauma – not even a lovely one like Tolya (who in turn does not need or want romance in his life to be fulfilled). She needs healing, a purpose and – as a character – not to be reduced to half a ship in a fling which would be nothing but a waste of precious screentime. 

EDIT: Inserting screenshot of the caption/tagging of the photo depicting Amita Suman and Lewis Tan, just to highlight the clear reference to the characters  and not the actors, whatever was claimed afterwards.

You know you wouldn't even be here if it weren't for me. Before your Nan even knew you existed, it was me who looked out for you. It was me who made sure you made it out of that fucking group home. You remember what those little fucking pricks used to call you? D-d-d-douglas fucking hounded you until I gave you your fucking name!

Me: *watching Ultraman: Rising on Netflix, a Japanese-American movie, with original sound and subtitles (English).*

Subtitles, anytime some said something in Japanese: [speaking foreign language]/[speaks in Japanese]

Me, who knows Japanese and could translate it myself if I heard what they said: Are you fucking kidding me?!?!
