Does Not Illustrate: Face Of An Angel Mind Of A Demon

I like 46.1...the second one is not something that would make me think "face of an angel".

[1]◊?

Dang; that rabbit kid reminded me of a character from Murciélago, a cute little girl who wears a bunny outfit and flays peoples' faces after stabbing them to death. Unfortunately I can't find a good image of her that would get it across in one go.

If I didn't think my suggestion was better, I might have voted for that.

Edit: Since it looks like the picture by LittleTLK is leading the votes by far, I've reduced and uploaded it. Should I go ahead and add it or do we need more votes?

Should the caption contain the names of the artist and character creator, or should it be a comment? I'm thinking there should be a short character description, along the lines of "Cute, isn't he? Right up until he starts to dismember you."

Making this a new post so people will notice the changes.

Another caption suggestion: "What did I do?" ^note He loves to dismember people

Neither of those suggestions is a character description. Also, the image seems way too big.

I didn't know a character description was mandatory.

I can probably crop the picture a bit and maybe reduce it even further. Edit: Done. Check it out.

It's not mandatory. You said that. "I'm thinking there should be a short character description..." followed by a suggestion that is not a character description.

And I didn't mean reduce the size by cropping more, I meant reduce the size by reducing the image's resolution. 600 pixels tall is enormous. It barely fits on my 1366x768 laptop monitor. Also the article text is short, consider how it will look on the page; that'd cross the example line and dip way down into the examples.

Third try. How about this?

Caption: "Splint, the cute little Bunny-Boy who loves to dismember people. Artist: LittleTLK, Creator: Ka1dus, used with permission."

That size is perfect.

That works.

Oh, I like that.

Since we seem to have a consensus, I've changed the picture and added a caption only slightly modified from what I suggested above.

If anyone has suggestions for improvement, either in the picture or the caption, please feel free to make them.

Why that caption? It had no support.

That's a boy?

Um, yeah, that's pretty obviously a boy. I don't know how you can mistake the gender. And "Splint, The murdering little bunny-boy" is the title of the image from the source: [1]

I figured it was a young girl. It doesn't help that the ears look like hair.

Looks like a girl to me, sorry. Although it's not really important.

He looks like a boy to me, but the gender isn't particularly relevant anyway since the picture illustrates the trope just as well either way.

Consider the caption to be a placeholder for now, just so we have the names of the artist and creator with the image.

If you think a different caption would be better, please suggest it.

"Here we see Splint, he of the innocent face and the nasty sharp pointy...knife?"

"Splint's face may be innocent, but he'll do you up a treat."

1 might work if it were changed slightly: "...he of the innocent face and the... nasty sharp pointy knife?"

I really don't get this one: "Splint's face may be innocent, but he'll do you up a treat."

Maybe "do you up a treat" is a local expression? If so, I don't think it's known well enough to be in a caption since I don't remember ever hearing it.

It's another line from the Killer Rabbit scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail:

Tim: Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
Sir Galahad: Get stuffed!
Tim: He'll do you up a treat, mate.

The ellipsis placing in the first one is deliberate; an earlier line about the Killer Rabbit from Tim is "[...]for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth!"

While I admit that it's witty when you know the context, it seems far too "topical" to me.

Strange though it may seem to aficionados of Monty Python, there are actually some people who just don't find Monty Python particularly funny and so have never even heard the lines you quoted. Time will only make that reaction (or perhaps more accurately, non-reaction) worse.

I'd far prefer something non-topical and therefore ageless.

Well, at the risk of sounding snappy, they're more creative than the current.

EDIT: Closed the crowner, the decision's pretty clear at this point.

Admitted, your suggestions are witty when you know the context. I'd just like some suggestions which are not only witty but also timeless, and I'd like suggestions which don't rely on such specific knowledge.

I didn't know what your suggestions were referring to, so they just seemed kind of random and not particularly funny to me.

I'm afraid that your suggestions might be too topical and so become outdated too quickly.
