This thread is dedicated to image suggestions for pages without pics (including those pulled by Image Pickin'). Guidelines:
- 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.
- If you have multiple suggestions you'd like to field for a single page, that can merit its own thread. Otherwise, use this thread.
- It is recommended that you upload your suggestions as you would like them to be formatted on the page.
- 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
- 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):
%% 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:
- Captions selected by crowner will be tagged using this template (which goes under the image caption):

Hi
![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
I'd go with the latter, if we can get some good screencaps.
Not a Fragile Flower
Not a Fragile Flower
For I Would Say If I Could Say:
- [1]
◊ — Archie Comics
- [2]◊ — Toy Story(?)
No caption for either, they're wordy enough.
Are these inversions? Can we use those for page images?

Not a Fragile Flower
I think the Archie comic is already somewhere else.
Not a Fragile Flower
For Meet My Good Friends Lefty and Righty
Caption: "Pictured: 'Lefty' (left), 'Righty' (right)"
I would actually be open to sending this to the TRS and getting the title simplified, because it's unnecessarily long and complicated for such a simple trope. But, this image should help with that.

Not a Fragile Flower
For Humble Pie
A vertical collage of the following from It Takes Two in order:
First two to establish character as haughty, last is the trope.
No caption needed, but might include one for the character's name [checks google], Clarice Kensington.

Misery Poker and Difficulty by Region will probably need their own threads, since countersuggestions were offered.
Morality Kitchen Sink (which I believe is Critical Role art?): I think this will be J 7 FAAC at wiki size. Even at full size the moralities are at most only hinted at by their expressions and actions.
I Would Say If I Could Say: Images should be, as a general rule, straight examples (unless we're illustrating the playing-with tropes or special cases like aversions-only tropes).
I won't be available to run the crowner through the weekend; if anyone would like to make Crowner 97 please do so!

The Archie image is used in Literal Metaphor.
Suggestion for Acrophobic Bird : [1]
◊
I'm having a hard time telling what that is.
(I know it's Fluttershy, but it's an outright abstract image for those not aware)
Also, the trope is less about fear of heights and more about flyers who don't solve flight problems by flying.
Edited by Drope on Jul 22nd 2019 at 6:34:24 AM
I agree. Not clear enough on the full trope definition.
Huh. Well, Acrophobic Bird is listed as a subtrope to Ironic Fear, so I did wonder. Does it illustrate the trope more to have an image of someone falling to apparent death despite having wings, or is this limited to chase scenes where they could have flown to save themselves from danger, but for some reason don't?

Forgot I Could Fly is also a trope, FYI (technically it redirects to Remembered I Could Fly)
Crowner 97, catching us all up. Hollering for a hook.
- Goofy Feathered Dinosaur: I didn't add this suggestion because the artist is/was selling it as a shirt. The sales website is currently down, though; but err on the side of caution?
- I Would Say If I Could Say: Neither suggestion added. The Archie comic is a dupe with Literal Metaphor, the Toy Story suggestion is a single-panel comic with a copyright in the corner.
- Nailed to the Wagon: Linked the higher quality source + artist.
- Misery Poker and Difficulty by Region: Starting new threads for these because of countersuggestions.
- Acrophobic Bird: Not added due to multiple users saying it doesn't illustrate the trope.
- Animal Is the New Man: Should probably be noted that this is very similar to the current on Persecution Flip.

Hi
Thanks, it's hooked. ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
I want to ask if the fact that the suggestion for Why Don't You Marry It? being a link to the twitter account of the artist means someone received permission to use the full comic.
The original post said panels 1 & 3 I believe.
My bad, meant to link the tumblr in the artist name. Someone kindly edit the option to the original post; I’m on mobile rn.
Suggestion for A Deadly Affair:
I made the change. I linked to his Twitter account since he seems more active there.
Regarding Goofy Feathered Dinosaur: we don't know what the artist's thoughts on the matters are. Instead of just striking it down, let's send them a polite request.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
Suggestion for Silly Animal Sound:
Suggestion for Tiny Tyrannical Girl:

We can ask for permission in the meantime, I just didn't want to put it up with the possibility that it was for sale. Should it be the mods who send permission requests?
Crown Description:
Removing the Earpiece
So, alas, google failed to turn up either of these, but, here are some
s
Both would also make good video examples.
