When a major animation studio renews one show but not yours
[Giancarlo Volpe: Look at that! Young Justice is coming back! That’s great! I’m so happy for Brandon and Greg and for the fans!
He starts to sob while the “Everybody Hurts” song by R.E.M. plays in the background, wiping his tears with the Green Lantern: the Animated Series Blu-ray]
[Kendrick:-SNIIIIIIIIIFF SNIIIIFF- “Peek-A Boo Blossom” Shaq: I like this “La La Lavender” though. Rose: Hey Kendrick! Kendrick: Hey Rose! Is that my “Luscious Lamar Bar?” Rose: Yep! Shaq: Did you say Lamar Bar? Kendrick: “LUSCIOUS Lamar Bar” Shaq: I wish I had my own soap… Kendrick: I knew you’d say that -he runs towards the back and brings a whole lot of soap with him- “Shea Butter Shaq” Shaq: That’s nice. -Kendrick drops the soap into the basket- -glitchy scene in the video happens but it’s still audible- Kendrick: “Beauty and the Beach!” Shaq: “I’m Yummy & I Know It” -happily makes music noises as he dances- dootdootdoot doot doot~ Kendrick: “Red Hot Lover” Shaq: Oh! I like that one! Put that one in the basket. Lemme see. -imitates an announcer voice- Down by one, can Kendrick Lamar go from the free throw lin– -the soap hits Shaq in the head making a loud noise and rolls down his shoulder into the basket- Shaq: It still went in! It still went -laughs- The Lakers win the game! -Shaq and Kendrick shake hands-
[ So I’m getting rid of a bunch of old shit today. From my room. and this is my old college art institute supply bag, which is like 6 years old. I can’t wait to find out what kind of horrors I’m gonna find in- (pulls out the foot and starts laughing) I keep- I keep finding these disembodied feet! What the fuck?! (Not laughing anymore) Probably pawn these off to someone with a foot fetish. Found like $50 worth of sculpey. The fuck do I look like, an architect? Oh that’s nice, all this charcoal exploded! Definitely not putting that on my carpet! I gotta be straight with you. I don’t even remember what Gesso’s even for! This is like a full bottle! Like my–oh! oops! And look. I’ve got all these fancy acrylics. I’m not gonna use any of these! All these supplies probably cost more than my college tuition! Looks like my beagle found the 10 year old goldfish cracker crumbs. (Laughs) Thanks buddy, now I don’t have to vacuum! (coughs) Oh my god oh my god. oh god. The (more I breathe in?) the more charcoal dust comes billowing out! Oh my god oh (continues to cough) I’m gonna be the first artist to die of black lung! (normal voice) Oh god. Oh god. What’s in here. Thousands of dollars in college tuition for a formal art education. And what did I do? Shitty anime and memes. Oh god there’s titty in here! Oh god there’s titty in here! (starts laughing) I can’t believe I (laughing) I’m crying (keeps laughing until the end) What I learned from art school is… Sonic!… and titties! Thank you Art institute of Seattle, for your quality education. (laughing) This is why I’m living at home at 27 years old, wearing a snuggie! ]
like what other movie can I care about when this is coming up?
[Diana: I used to want to save the world. -stares at picture- This beautiful place… but the closer you get, the more you see the great darkness within. -battle on beach…bullet in slow motion- I learned this the hard way a long, long time ago. Queen Hippolyta: What is your mission? Steve: To stop the war. Diana: What war? Steve: The war to end all wars. Unknown voice: Weapons far deadlier than you can ever imagine. Unknown “General”: The world can be ours. Steve: Wherever you are, you are in more danger than you can think. Diana: I cannot stand by while innocent lives are lost. Queen Hippolyta: Be careful Diana. 2nd unknown voice: Who is this woman. Steve: She’s my uh…secretary, sir. -almost gets shot- AHH! AHH! She’s a very good secretary. Diana: It is our sacred duty to defend the world and it’s what I’m going to do. Steve: Diana! -epic scenes- -dress scene- Diana: How could a woman possibly fight in this? Dressmaker: Fight?! We use our uh…principles. Although I am not opposed to engaging in a bit of fisticuffs if the occasion arises.]
[Jay: Is this your cat? Thomas: Yep, he’s mine. Jay: I love it oh my god! Kitty~ Thomas (overlapping): He’s usually not this friendly with people. Jay: Bye! Thomas: WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT DO YOU LOVE ME ANYMORE?! -doom like sound playing when zooming onto the cat-]
[Will.I.Am: I mean, guys don’t feel that way and if you did– Ryan: I do! Will.I.Am: You do? You put spray cologne on your girl? Britney:-mouths the word, “Girl?” in confusion- Ryan: I spray girls cologne on my pillow to make me think that they are there. Will.I.Am: But do you like your girls leave the house and your like come here baby -makes a spraying sound- pssh pssh~ Britney:-laughs- Ryan: Oh no, no. I don’t do that. I just put Tresor in my bed and smell, “oh, there’s somebody…oh no, there’s no one there.” It just smells like someone’s there. But what was your point? Will.I.Am: I’m just saying like–]
When a video game dialogue option is way more aggressive than you anticipated

Y Button: Hello. A Button: My name is [Dennis]. B Button: You’ll never save Prince Horace.- Player: Hmmmm. Y. -presses Y Button- Character: Hello, FUCKER. I am going to kill your whole family for fun. Player: …What?]
I really wanna watch Steven universe but no matter where I searched, there's no closed captioning. :(
Hi anon!
I don’t watch Steven Universe. BUT. I do stream a lot of shows that don’t have subtitles. So I figured out a while ago how to download subtitles and use a subtitle player over the video.
First I would recommend finding a good subtitle player. I know a lot of people like Greenfish. I personally use SRT player for mac. Once you get that, then I would download subtitles. I like Addic7ed. But you can also google “Steven Universe Subtitles” and download subtitles that way.
Once you’ve downloaded the subtitles. Open them through the subtitle player. Then you can put the box that holds the text of the subtitles over the video and watch. :D
