Pulled, as it's a Deviant Art image and the artist has already complained about it being stolen multiple times.

Get too close and you'll get Frostbite

This is the trope for a figurative ice queen. Perhaps we should avoid literal frost.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I seriously doubt that we're going to get an image that actually shows the trope without being JAFAAC or a literal ice queen that is entirely unrelated to the trope.

Well, this is an exampleless supertrope, and it incorporates many different flavours of aloof women, so I doubt we would get something sufficiently illustrative. A literal Ice Queen may be the closest we get.

Trying to adequately figuratively pic an Ice Queen would be about on the same level as Emotionless Girl in terms of difficulty, methinks.

[up]That would end up JAFAAC though. We'd need something that establishes the personality.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

I'm in favor of the second image of post 2. I'd say a Visual Pun is better than no page image.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

A Visual Pun is fine here; a brief sweep of some wicks shows it doesn't seem to be misused for a literal Ice Queen. If a trope has problems with misuse, then I don't like puns because they can be taken literally.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
