Needs Help: Fire Is Red

This really needs an page image in order to emphasize and to make the viewer know more about the content.

Should be a piece o' cake. This image is good if the fire's allowed to have yellow and gradients and all, but if it has to be only red (or orangish, possibly), then doing a quick tracing is easy. Any of these can have a border added to the fire, and/or the floating parts removed.

Pure red◊. Orangish◊. Red with orangish floaty bits◊ — my prefered version. Slightly darker red◊.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Uh, is this trope supposed to be example-less? Shouldn't it be brought to the Trope Repair Shop as well?

I like the pure red one.

Well, it says it's omnipresent in cultural thought, and while that's not exactly an Omnipresent Trope, it's close, and those often don't have examples. I'm wondering if there would be more point to listing aversions than straight examples. Either way, that's a matter for TRS.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

Well, compare the example sections for Water Is Blue and Wind Is Green.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Water Is Blue has no examples; Air Is Green does. My guess is that this is because the latter is slightly less omnipresent, sometimes being represented by blue, white, yellow, or gray. Fire Is Red is too common for examples, in my mind.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

This is kinda sorta about iconography. Maybe something that compares fire to other elements? Like this◊ or that◊. (Both contradict Wind Is Green tho, maybe something like the Color-Coded Elements image?)

Actually, reading Wind Is Green, apparently it was because it was thought wind was generated by wood (somehow). Wood in the second image is green. Not contradictory? I'll let you decide.

Moon◊

In Wu Xing, Wood = Wind, so the Wu Xing diagram only supports Wind Is Green (and, depending on who you ask "Wind is White", since Metal is sometimes equated with Wind, for some reason).

A single phrase renders Christianity a delusional cult

Clock is set.

Fire Nation◊? red mana◊? Fire Energy◊?

Belief or disbelief rests with you.

The second one looks like it could work.

The red mana card from Magic is most excellent.

"@[=g3,8d]&fbb=-q]/hk%fg"

+1 for the Mountain card.

Bump; anyone else for the red mana card?

I actually prefer the other two to it, but it's a decent page image as well.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I don't really care for the Pokemon energy card, but that's my pro-MTG bias coming through.

I'd also prefer either of the other two.

The mana card is more Lava is Red.

Lava = Fire.

"@[=g3,8d]&fbb=-q]/hk%fg"

Nope. Lava is merely associated with fire when it appears in media. Lava's just really hot, melted rock that's an even more viscous liquid than water.

Much unlike fire, which is a by-product of combustion.

The magic card works for me.

Crowner's hooked.

Well, for the purposes of this site, isn't that what counts?

Smoke is also associated with fire.

I added a red mana symbol from MTG, just for another option on that line that doesn't have the lava issue.
