Suggestion: A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Read

I remembered a comic page from Rare Candy Treatment that seemed fitting for this page, which is currently devoid of an image. It's this page, specifically the last two panels where Medicham is freaking out from what was read.

Opened.

Psychonauts?

Unfortunately, that one is already on Dirty Mind-Reading.

The RCT one is a good example, but I'm not sure how we'd go about using it. We can't use the whole thing for copyright reasons, and no two panels get the concept across on their own.

The Psychonauts one works well for this trope, but we'd have to find a replacement for Dirty Mind-Reading (which, on a side note, probably needs a better name, as its current title implies "Mind reading used for Power Perversion Potential rather than "telepath accidentally stumbles across someone else's perverted thoughts").

Didn't even know we had a page for the subtrope Dirty Mind-Reading. In that case, best leave that there.

My suggestion:

• [1]◊. Credit to the artist goes here

See? Cirno is THE STRONGEST. AND A GENIUS.

Now, Satori Komeiji (see under Video Games folder) has problems because of her mind reading but not this kind of problems. Is this an acceptable image? Also, going by pixiv's terms of use, i'd like to get the artist's permission.

@5: Really? I think panels 2+3 works fine by themselves. Of course, there is always the question of whether or not using 2 panels from a 3 panel comic is legit.

No I think it needs the first panel, otherwise it is just "mind reading then horrified? expression", which might be for many reasons besides the target thinking of something nasty.

Either way it's not really this trope, which is "mind reading will ruin your life."

Either of these:

Do we have enough to start running a crowner? This has been an anchor for half a month.

I have to squint to read those, so that's an automatic .

...What?

It's pretty large font; I don't see how you'd have to squint to read them.

It's not the font size so much as it's pretty dark.

Eh. I can read it perfectly fine. Even if the smaller text blurs a bit, "SUBCONSCIOUS" is all you really need.

I agree. The "fine print" wasn't that big of a deal to me, especially since the Freak Out is more emphasized.

I asked Bummer (the creator of RCT) through IRC about using the comic. He permits usage of the comic given that it's linked back to RCT's trope page or the webcomic directly (which is typically done, anyway). Log can be provided upon request.

Probably the best suggestion so far, although that's not saying a whole lot.

Yeah, it's decent but not spectacular...better than nothing, though.

A classic "good enough" image. It has my support for the time being.

Yeah, I support that as well.

We have a few to run through with a crowner.

Crowner's hooked; most of the options need more info.

Time to call this one. The winner's up, potholed to the comic's trope page, and the tag's adjusted. Caption or no?

Also, it needs to be added as an example on this page.
