The text could maybe work as a quote; apart from it, it's just a chick holding another chick. Essentially JAFAAC which happens to have an inline caption.

Not that we're ever going to find a good picture for this without text in it, but we need something that portrays the trope- preferably the actual process of subjugating the victim.

Seems, perfect as is to me.

My only problem with the current one is the lack of mind control.

Text is not the enemy.

But I agree that this particular image doesn't work. The combination of picture and text just isn't clear enough what's going on

[up]I think that's what the OP meant; the picture doesn't demonstrate the trope at all, and the text on it's own can't recover the image.

But yeah, we need a new one.

Bump again. For the record, I'm neutral on the pic.

The current pic is actually an example, and from a webcomic. Here's the original. I think we can illustrate this pretty well with some combination of panel 2 (current pic), panel 7 and maybe panel 8. Maybe panel 7, then panel 2?

Bump...I'm neutral on the current pic, but I don't think I'd support a pull.

[up] That's better...I'd stack them vertically and do them full size so the text is easier to read for everyone.
