So, the trope is about a young and innocent maiden getting an unspecified disease for the sake of plot; whereas the image is of two lovers in an embrace. Frankly that doesn't show anything about the trope, so it should be pulled.

The webcomics section gives a better example.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

The current isn't very good but I'm not so sure about the suggestion.

Don't like the suggestion at all. Don't think it would lose anything by losing the visuals. I rather think anything I'd imagine while just reading that would be better than what's actually depicted.

My initial feeling about this trope is that it's impossible to adequately illustrate visually.

Our choices are probably going to be limited to one of two: Either leave it without an image or use a sub-optimal image as it currently appears to be doing.

The suggestion is more dialog than showing anything, so [tdown]

Current is extremely weak but the 1.1 suggestion is not better.

Current's weak, but we've got people in period clothing in a bed. That's... something.

Suggestion is... just really confusing dialog that vaguely discusses the trope. That's really bad.

It's better than the current, but not great.

I concur with the Duck. That's better than the current, and miles better than the suggestion in 1.

It's weak but good enough to be a replacement for the current.

Maybe?

Or this one...

This is, "The Incurable Cough of Death has no effect on a character's beauty, or their ability to perform," so shouldn't the character in the image be beautiful or preforming?

Re-clocking to give time for more votes on 9 or other ideas; otherwise this one's going to be gone.

9's acceptable. Let's just run with it and call it a day until a better suggestion appears.

I'm good with 9, and with that, we seem to have enough consensus.

So I went ahead and uploaded the pic because this has gone on for far too long.

Sounds good. I've pulled the clock and starred the thread for caption discussion.

Hearing nothing for a caption, let's lock up.
