Image Suggestion Thread (New Crowner: November 04 2025):

Go To

This thread is dedicated to image suggestions for pages without pics (including those where previous images were 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 by a moderator. with suggestions which will be voted on as normal. Crowners will run for up to 7 days.
    • Each crowner will generally contain 12-15 items, but may have up to 20 if there's a backlog of suggestions. Please do not add items to a crowner once it's running.
    • After 3 days, anything with votes at +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 can be added to the page.
    • After 5 days, anything with votes at +7 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 can be added to the page.
    • After 7 days, all remaining crowner items with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be added, all items below the 2:1 ratio will be rejected, and the crowner will be closed.
  5. Suggestions will generally be processed and added to crowners in the order they come into the thread.

Crowners on this thread do not count towards the Image Pickin' Special Cases Multiple Threads rule (which applies to "pages that have had three or more IP threads").

Templates

  • 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

There is a sandbox for backlog suggestions awaiting a crowner slot: Image Pickin' Backlog

[up]The time it takes for a suggestion to run varies, it's just that this month there was a huge backlog with 100+ threads consistently open in the forum. Opening a crowner will no doubt add more threads to that backlog (since not every suggestion gets voted in) so we did not start one in hopes that the number of threads would eventually die down.

The text seems perfectly readable, unless you mean on mobile.

I'm on a computer and the text kind of hurts my eyes to read.

[up]It's almost impossible to not involve some text since the trope directly involves "plot". Not only do you need to showcase that it's the start of the plot ("Chapter 1"), but also how it starts the plot.

I also don't like text too much, but some tropes just can't do it without it.

But I also agree that the text may be too small, especially for mobile users. Version with less text:

Is this more eye-pleasing?

I kinda get it, based on information not actually contained in the image.

Maybe it makes sense to people who've watched that show. It does seem like Moments subpage images are allowed to require a little context from the work?

Still, I wouldn't vote for it.

I never vote to Moments subpage images unless I'm familiar with the work.

Ideally, the images themselves should convey the discussed emotion, not just a scene that might be a moment in context.

Not a bad concept, but it's hard to tell that the shoes are actually sticky rather than the image being flipped 180 degrees. Can you get a different shot that makes it more obvious Link is legitimately upside-down?

What about those mountains in the background that are clearly right-side up?

I cannot actually see those, on account of the image being filled with electric visual noise.

It's probably the graphics limitations. His clothing should be hanging the other way around, because in this case it's literally his model just being rotated, and the background is not visible enough.

Suggestion for Canned Orders over Loudspeaker. This is from the game Frostpunk, I suggested it as you can clearly see a man holding a tool looking up at some loudspeakers. It might need to be brightened. But I have absolutely no idea how to do that.

EDIT: I'm going to make a new thread to suggest both images to the forum, please do not put this on the next crowner.

[down][down] Thank you kindly for that, would not have been able to do that myself.
