I'm still on "Keep Until Better Image Suggested".

Yeah I don't really like it either. This is a lot harder to find images for than I thought it would be.

The trouble with the current pic is that Renard fails (or doesn't actually try?) to take Antimony's body. There's no montage to make.

Here [1] on the other hand, he gets the body. Even if you cropped a montage without the text, I think it's fairly clear what happened to that guy.

[up] The top half of that would be enough, I think.

I think you can crop off the left 1/3 to 1/2 of that, too. (No idea how to attach images.)

Only trouble is I just realized the picture is a spoiler. Certainly some parts of the speech balloons are. I've made a crop that is at least less spoileriffic, if you tell me how to upload it.

A totally different route could be a montage, along the lines of "People (and non-people) Jack Harkness has flirted with" on Extreme Omnisexual. Then it more clearly shows Body Surf and not just Body Snatcher, and should make it easier to find an example that doesn't risk any spoilers.

OK, attempting to upload the cropped bits:

I've cropped off as much spoiler as can be removed, and I think it's OK now if not ideal. Between these three "panels" it should be possible to get the trope across. They could be cropped further if desired.

I am not a fan of the [up][up] sloppy crops.

Nice. It flows well, and the text bubble, while not necessary, helps instead of being distracting.

Good enough; it's up and tagged. Keep the old caption or no?
