Just a Face and a Caption: Purple Prose

Well, technically it's not a "face", as it is just a purple object. Still, the idea is the same, as the object itself does not illustrate the trope, which is about a writing style. As such, it may be hard to illustrate, so the page may be better without an image.

I won't technically object to BUPKIS'ing this one, but I don't think the pen is hurting anything.

I'll go for Keep Until Better Image Suggested on this one. It's not hurting the page too much, and the caption works.

Keep current. It's a fun image not hurting anything.

I thought visual puns are supposed to be auto-kept without a suggestion.

[up] I didn't interpret it as a visual pun, but I could see that.

It's more along the lines of a metaphor. Or something.

The point is that there's a clear connection between a quill pen and writing.

There's plenty of consensus to keep the current, so it's tagged. Locking up.
