#glad i decided to switch up the captions on this rewatch so that scene finally makes sense

[hillerskaroyals]

tonight i’m choosing to be mad about the mistranslation in ep2.

during felice and madison’s conversation while they’re waxing felice’s legs the english cc captions are as follows:

maddie: is it too hot?

felice: no, it’s not too hot. it’s okay. it just feels warm

maddie: i know but i don’t like to sound like an idiot

which makes literally no sense and always left me confused however the swedish cc (as well as the regular english subtitles) has felice say:

“nej det är lugnt. du kan prata svenska med mig, maddie” which means “no it’s okay. you can speak swedish around me, maddie” which makes maddie’s response actually make sense.

it also answers the question of why maddie never speaks swedish in the show. it’s not that she can’t it’s because she’s worried she’ll make a mistake and be judged by her peers. which is a valid concern when speaking a second language around native speakers and especially in this population where we see how they treat people who are different than them.

we really don’t know much about maddie so i’m annoyed this little bit of information about her got lost in translation. that being said i hope we see maddie being comfortable enough around felice to try speaking swedish

#can we PLEASE get some more accurate translations for s2 #i’m literally begging #glad i decided to switch up the captions on this rewatch so that scene finally makes sense #also i kept seeing a lot of posts about people not addressing wille properly as crown prince and was hella confused #bc in the english cc subs they refer to him as the prince/crown prince pretty consistently after erik’s death #i didn’t realize everyone else was watching the english subs #madison young royals #madison mccoy #felice young royals #felice ehrencrona #young royals #young royals analysis #late night yr #mine #my yr thoughts

i owe y’all two posts about my most recent gifsets, huh??

so, the above gif was me working with different sizes i can use for pson because as y’all know, it is not immune to the two black bars above and below the frame. i wanted to find a crop that can get the entire scene instead of following that trend of bigger gifs. i really like the coloring on this as well like MWAH i think it’s a coloring from 2013.......scream yes i’m old school i escaped the retirement home y’all tried to put me in.

it was like, halfway through the episode where i whipped out my laptop to work on the gifset. sadly i missed a LOT of what happened because i was so caught up in the scene that i wanted to gif that everything was just...in one ear and out the other. i will definitely have to come back and rewatch it because i know i missed some crucial bits. i chose to gif that scene between gil and malcolm because 1) i love their interactions i think they are so precious and i love to see their dynamic in motion and 2) it was the funniest thing to me at that time. i knew it could also have a range for people who may not see prodigal son and get them interested like “oh, this man has trauma AND is funny about it? where can i watch?” because we are out here trying to renew this show <3 but the most important reason was that it was a pure family moment where they’re honest with little judgment (gil has rights to judge okay i say that! he wants better for his son).

okay, typically i don’t mess around with text based gifs. i try not to make them because i ALWAYS have problems with centering the text...and this was one of them. do y’all wanna know how many TIMES i uploaded that set? at least three times until fourth times the charm. the first time i deleted because i realized one of the gifs didn’t match the coloring for all the frames plus the text wasn’t aligned for both of them. the second time, i fixed the coloring problem but i still had the text problem and i wasl ike DAMN >:( so i went back into photoshop (keep in mind i am only fixing one gif so it can be centered with the other) and did it so old school with putting my finger on the text box then switching over to the other gif to compare. i KNOW there is DEFINITELY an easier way than what i did but in that moment i didn’t know any other way. so i uploaded it the third time and thought “okay, it’s done!” but....i tried finding my gifset in the tag and it wasn’t showing up so i was FRUSTRATED beyond belief because it happened on the previous attempts as well. so i deleted it then reuploaded again thinking this is fourth times the charm....much to my surprise, i didn’t show up in the tag. i was literally almost about to toss my computer on the ground like a dumb bitch. however, i decided that there were a few notes so i would just...leave it be and if it didn’t show up, well, it didn’t show up. i left that gifset in God’s hands.

for some odd reason, tumblr just...doesn’t update the tag ?? the work finally showed up some time later and all that frustration was through. i could’ve released that set like twenty minutes earlier than i did if i wasn’t having all these  problems with it -_-  anyways, the coloring was simple. i have a tried and true coloring that i think goes really well with pson because the lighting is AWFUL and funny enough, once again, the coloring is from a 2014 psd it’s like ....they knew they foretold a prophecy that these shows will remain the same in terms of lighting. thank you to deviantart for hooking my ass up love youuuu <3 

another thing is that i KNOW the gif moves WAYYY too fast. i should’ve thought about changing the speed if i weren’t in such a frenzied mess between uploading, deleting then reuploading pero i wasn’t thinking at all. i also used a different sharpening because i thought it would quicken up the gifmaking process pero FUNNY ENOUGH it didn’t even fucking matter if i was out here taking almost 30 minutes to drop my gifset screammm. pero it do be like that sometimes so! and the caption...i am so glad y’all liked that because it was the first thing to mind and i didn’t really wanna use another toss away quote i just wanted to match the humor of it. if i can’t be funny in the tags then i will be funny in the captions :)

#thank you for all the love on that set! #y'all's tags cracked me UP like please become comedians i will support your netflix special
