> What I've enjoyed about editing for other people is that my form of subtitling tends to be unorthodox. I like animating the words or emphasizing how one talks. If I'm going to do burn-in subtitles, I might as well try to visually represent the dialog. I do wonder if this makes it less accessible.

I watched it for the first time last year and it affected me way too much in its relevancy :')) bsky.app/profile/kiry...

Watching DS9 Past Tense for the first time. It takes places in 2024. It hurts, way more than I thought it would.

A character reference sheet for Kitten Pauws on a light orange background. The sheet shows a three point turn-around of the character, as well as 3 expressions, several of the character's objects, and an illustration of the character on the left. The character has brown skin and dark brown short curly hair with golden highlights. They have brown eyes and small curved cat ears with white fur tufts. They are wearing a long white shirt and white socks with yellow accents, an orange cardigan, a yellow scarf and hat, and a yellow cross body bag. Many koi fish and flower themed elements are present across the design.
