Image Suggestion Thread (New Crowner May 19 2024):

Go To

This thread is dedicated to image suggestions for pages without pics (including those pulled by Image Pickin'). Guidelines:

  1. Please read How to Pick a Good Image and Just a Face and a Caption before suggesting an image. Additionally, make sure to source the image in your post.
  2. If you have multiple suggestions you'd like to field for a single page, that can merit its own thread. Otherwise, use this thread.
  3. It is recommended that you upload your suggestions as you would like them to be formatted on the page.
  4. A crowner will be generated with suggestions which will be voted on as normal:
    • The crowners will generally run 12-15 items at any given time and may go as high as 20 if there's a backlog of suggestions, so please do not add items to a crowner once it's running.
    • After 3 days, any options with a net vote count of ≥10 can be put on their respective pages. After 5 days, this can apply to options with a net vote count of ≥7. Anything below that will need to go the full 7 days.
    • After 7 days, generally the unprocessed options that have a positive vote count (2:1) can go up on their respective pages. Old thread rule, no longer enforced
  5. Suggestions will generally be processed and added to crowners in the order they come into the thread.
  • Selected images will be tagged using this template (which goes above the image):
%% Image selected via crowner in the Image Suggestion thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1452266899092104700
%% crowner link
%% Please do not change or remove without starting a new thread.
  • If one or more previous images on the page were pulled, those forum links should remain on the page as well, but the accompanying templates should be replaced by:
%% Previous image removed per Image Pickin' thread:
  • Captions selected by crowner will be tagged using this template (which goes under the image caption):
%% Caption selected per above crowner. Please don't change or remove without approval from the Caption thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1404492079030138900

Oglaf's 4th panel for Jerkass Gods is adding to the point of the trope. Compare to just 5+6

Went ahead and took care of the Vanity Fair pic due to unanimous support. I'll deal with the others later.

I'd like to suggest a new image for the Dark Messiah page, specifically this image. It's been festering for a while ever since the thread where the Lenin picture was removed.

I have quote for it, as well, and can resize it.

In the now-locked thread for Army of The Ages, I suggested this image as a replacement. No image was chosen, but since then I found a trope where it would actually fit a lot better: Archived Army. Almost the same concept, but it's about recognized historical figures teaming up.

[up]Aye, fair enough. It's a hard job, trying to find a suitable image for the page. But I think it deserves one. Hmm.

I'm thinking something like this might be a better fit.

[up] Again, that's JAFAAC bait...there's nothing in the pic that shows the trope in action, it's just the characters standing around looking dramatic.

[up][up][up][up]What would even be a good image for a dark messiah page? A grim looking man with a lot of military men in salute is the only thing I could think of. The Lenin picture was a main stay and it wasn't that much different. In fact, it required an understanding of proletariat and communism, as well as Lenin to get the picture.

^ I'd say an Obviously Evil character giving a New Era Speech to their followers would work, but there have been several failed attempts to provide that trope an image that all ran into JAFAAC issues.

[up] You mean like this? (Amon from Legend of Korra. I'm still not convinced it's a great pic and it will need a caption to help it, but it covers the basics.)

I wanted to use a picture of Buy-N-Large from WALL•E for the Predatory Business image page, but couldn't find one whose quality was good enough. As an alternate, I'd like to suggest JojaCorp from Stardew Valley, since the crux of the game involves the player leaving their crappy job at JojaCorp and (optionally) trying to stop them from taking over the small town in which you've answered the Call to Agriculture. The image to the right is from the game's opening cutscene.

I hope you get tiny bits of eggshell in all your omelettes for the rest of your life!

[up][up]If we could find an image where the person is actually explaining their plans in a text bubble, like from a comic, that might be the best actually.

^^ The ones in red have been pretty stable as well.

One thing about a crowner is that you don't really get a sense of why an image isn't liked, but the one I'm most surprised by for not gathering enough votes is Slaying Mantis. I don't know if people mistakenly think it has to be a literal mantis rather than a fantasy creature with that design, or if they think it just doesn't look psychotic enough.
