I see the anguish. I don't see the declaration of love.

Yep, that's JAFAAC. +1 to pull.

I think it's a "keep until better image suggested", I kinda-sorta get a love vibe from her expression and his hand. Weak but not terrible, not nearly bad enough to pull without replacement.

What happened to only pulling and leaving a page without an image if it's actively harming the page? It is "not enough" at worst, not "nothing at all" or "the wrong thing". Suggest something better or leave it alone IMO.

Schwach. Not terrible, but not particularly good either.

I don't see it. At all. I'll agree with pulling.

IMO, an image lacking one facet of a multi-facet trope isn't pull-worthy. Address it in the caption.

v Your bar for "bad image" is too low. The image is merely weak.

I'm pretty sure this site has the mantra of "no image is better than a bad image".

This is not a "bad" image, in that it is not harming the page; it is not misleading or confusing, or of such poor quality that it makes the page worse by being there.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested: Suggest a better one.

JAFAAC images don't "harm" a page. They're still frowned upon and zapped.

I don't see any facet of the trope, though.

"JAFAAC images don't "harm" a page"

Yes they do: they are confusing to people who aren't familiar with the work. That image is not JAFAAC.

The only way we are going to get the "declaration" 100% visible is if we go with a comic, which is only marginally better than adjusting the caption.

Keep Until Better.

Another reason that image is weak, though: given the caption, it is more like Now or Never Kiss.

"That image is not JAFAAC."

Uh

It's a face with no context. It's a caption. I think that's literally the definition of Just A Face And A Caption.

Please read the page for JAFAAC: "a pic that just shows off one of their favorite characters with a caption that makes a joke off of how they so totally fit the trope in their show." Also, please look at the information in the folders on that page. They're there for a reason.

the definition of Just A Face And A Caption is "The image conveys nothing about the trope if you are not familiar with the work it comes from." The gist of the definition is that the image requires familiarity with the source to know why it illustrates the trope.

Also, please read How to Pick a Good Image.

It seems decent enough to me. Not great, but it gets the point across. You can try the bottom of this Order of the Stick strip if you want something more direct.

Ok the scaling down feature does not quite work the way I was expecting, the links are possible companion images for the first one.

I see enthusiastic there, but not really "anguished".

[up] They are falling off a cliff in the first one.

This work better? obviously a little large but that can be cut down. Is there any way to use the image resizer feature to specify exactly how big an image should be or will it just always resize to 350?

And after 5 chapters of her running away from the declaration while the cast chases her all over japan, including a Car Chase, car chasing train, rocket launchers, being declared a terrorist, and a dive off a cliff.
She finely says it, goddamn indecisive Tsunderes always gotta do it the hard way
