The current image shows Pinkie Pie crawling out of the image frame with a knife in her mouth. Apparently, it's a reference to the fanfic "Party of None", but as far as I can tell the trope isn't demonstrated in that work. You can't exactly fully understand the trope without understanding the source. Otherwise, it's just an image of a creepy looking pony with her hoof over the description box.

I think the computer scene from the opening of Oneshot would work better, where a pop-up box comes up telling you "you only have one shot, (name of computer profile)" I only have one good image of part of the scene, however: [1]

Three previous threads, the latter two of which were declined due to lacking a replacement suggestion. Here, I don't think the suggestion is better than the current.

Not sold on the suggestion. Besides, the current is fine; the knife and the way Pinkie Pie is "climbing out of the image" helps.

Keep.

Quoting the Laconic wiki...

"The audience or narrator is "attacked" by the story's antagonistic force."

The image clearly shows Pinkie, which looks antagonistic enough (what with the knife and all), climbing out of the image and attempting to "attack" anyone reading the page. So, keep.

Well, this went exactly like I expected it would. Locking this thread; the trope will be added to the "multiple threads" list.
