Suggestion: Anthropomorphic Personification

For this, would the emotions from Inside Out work? In a picture like this, since the emotion each figure represents is pretty much right above them.

Problem with this is that it's rather long width-wise. Unless we can crop it into a 2x3?

If that doesn't work, perhaps a simple angel/devil juxtaposition can suffice. No media like that that comes to mind at the moment, though.

That seems pretty good to me...it'd need to be rearranged, for sure, but it works.

2x2 without Disgust? Can't edit it atm.

Made me think of this one.

Link's broken.

Looks good.

Really? It's a Danbooru link. Is that blocked or something? A long time ago now it used to have NSFW ads, but it's clean now. Well, if you don't go browsing for some... Anyway, plop.

#6 looks fine, especially since the article's description doesn't list emotions.

Any idea why the page isn't showing the usual IP header?

What is 7 supposed to be an anthropomorphic personification of?

It's an annoying bug that's been around for about a year now. IP header won't show up until you edit the thread name.

That looks like a bell or something. This trope is about abstract concepts, not physical objects.

A radiation symbol, methinks.

A personification of nuclear power. Which is a thing that exists, but not a physical object.

Why would you interpret it as an image meant to illustrate something that isn't the trope? Being mistaken about what the image is is one thing, but thinking that's what it's actually meant to be is on the level of red paint.

It's not immediately obvious what the picture represents just by looking at it. Which is a reason to think it's not that great of a picture.

Neither are the other, though, other than the captions.

Anger is fairly obvious given the hint that he's the anthropomorphic personification of something (he's hot-headed, burning with anger, and dressed to invoke an angry boss). The others need something of a hint, but are gettable if you know they are all emotions.

The Inside Out examples are plainly obvious. Characters with captioned names demonstrating that they represent the emotions they are named for. I have no idea how the radiation girl represents radiation. Sure, she looks like the symbol (which I couldn't figure out without being told that), but there's no way I can tell she is the embodiment of radiation itself. She just looks like some girl with silly hair and a silly dress. Maybe she's standing in a nuclear winter, but I'm not able to tell. Big to 7.

While 7 works once you know what it is supposed to be, it isn't obvious enough to be a good image.

Not a huge fan of the Inside Out image, but it is at least clear.

nvm

7 is just confusing and unclear unless they tell you what she's supposed to represent. 6 works very well for me.

7

6

Another vote or two for 6 and we can run with it.

Go with 6.

And there we go. It's up and tagged; caption or no? Something noting Disgust's absence seems proper but I'm not coming up with anything right now.

"We wanted to include Disgust as well, but she hated the idea."

The editorial We is only slightly better than true first person :P Unfortunately it is a bad style fad here. "This was supposed to include Disgust, but she hated the idea."
