i need help for a caption
i had the script for a caption for a long time, i haven't been able to because gimp is a steaming pile of dog shit and makes even the most simple thing become a complex task (seriously everytime i open it up i feel like i need a degree in graphic design) so can someone help me put the text on the side of the image in a way that is decently readable

I could do it, but how much text we're talking about? And how big is the picture?

this is the text

yes, that's right kneel before me and stroke your disgusting dick like a good little slut
what is happening
what why aren't you stroking your brains out for me
eh, guess i wasn't really feeling like it
bu-but you took your dick out and were about to masturbate to my beauty, you were supposed to be head over heels for me
yeah but you're too boring, not even worth fapping to
listen here you insect, you're going to stroke your dick and fap your brains out
or else?
or else you see will how mad i can get
pff pathetic, i'm out here
hey don't just ignore me, you were supposed to be my slave, my servant who would do anything i ordered yo- don't you dare go to that door you bastard get back here and worship me
maybe next time your charms may work on me
fine then, i don't need you there's a ton of other manlier men for me to toy with
good for you *opens door*
I SAID DON'T LEAVE WHILE I'M TALKING WITH YOU, YOU YOU SIMPLETON
*leaves*
did he just interrupt me, NO ONE INTERRUPTS ME WHILE I'M TALKING THAT BASTARD IS GONNA PAY
*rumbling* what stupid idiot he thinks he's better than me
*20 minutes later*
i still can't believe that stupid hero, left who he think he is trying to reject me, no one rejects me
he's gonna see it i'm gonna find him and show him his place

i would link the image but i lost the source and image searching only tells me the source of the character but not the image
also as i was proofreading this i realized that "e" is pronounce like "i" in my language not like the way 'e" in egg is pronounced

1. i still don't know have a single idea how the hell you do this

2. there's still some typos i forgot to iron out

It's a free downloable font called "action man".

All right, I use a non-conventional method because I don't want to open photoshop just for that, and Sai2 have less text related tools. Looks complex as fuck, but it's really simple.

If you prefer photoshop, here's a tutorial can help:
www.makeuseof.com/tag/outline-text-photoshop/

I'm using Sai2, for Sai2 you could need some knowdledge about layer and mask in order to do interesting stuff, but I could show you the most basic way to do it there.

-I write the text
-then >layer >copy and then rasterize (the copy layer will be a back up)
-I select the whole rasterized layer with one of the selection tools, then Alt+T and enter so it will just select the text.
->selection >dilate selection (I choose a level, maybe 4, 5 or 6) and enter. That will expand the selection.
>make a new layer, fill the outline color how you prefer (for example, using the bucket or a pencil)

i tried to use sai2 but i'm not paying a license just to make a caption, do you know anything else that could help
just in case i altered the text one last time, that should be final draft

Photopea is a free browser based version of Photoshop if you can't afford anything. If you're struggling with anything any Photoshop tutorial should work.
It's been a while since I made a manip but I still do the occasional image edit.

The text on the top looks a bit chopped.
The sentences that starts with "listen here you insect" "did he just interrupt" and "I still can't believe" have the first letter with a different color.

The rest looks good.
