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").

For Wallet of Holding : [1] from Neverwinter Nights 2 (probably with a caption to point out that that much gold weighs a lot more than 63.3).

Also something for We Sell Everything : Re-Tail from Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

(These are my first image submissions, please let me know if anything's wrong smile)

EDIT : I also noticed that, while not exactly duplicates, Platform Battle and Advancing Boss of Doom use the same boss to illustrate the trope, should one of them be changed ?

Since it's been a week, I've added the remaining pics that have been upvoted on the current crowner and started threads for the rest.

Now we just need to discuss which panels to use for EyeScream.Webcomics.

And here's a new crowner. That takes the thread up to the rest of post 1166.

I'm not so sure about the suggestion for Leave No Survivors. That whole scene is a parody of the Spare a Messenger trope, so you can kinda qualify that last panel as Leave No Witnesses. However, Leave No Survivors is described as a villainous action of No Quarter. Sink the Lifeboats is a Sub-Trope.

A couple of suggestions for Large Ham Radio from Jet Set Radio : [1], [2], [3], [4] (watermarks on 1 and 4 are easily removable)

Not sure which one is better, 1 and 3 get the "radio" part through whereas 2 and 4 underline the Large Ham part.

I've combined the Super Supremacist and EyeScream.Webcomics suggestions into a separate thread. As for the Dick Dastardly suggestion, that thread's dying on the vine so I'd say let it run its course.

Just came up with this alternate suggestion for My Real Daddy, as per the Image Pickin' Discussion.

[up]Those pictures say absolutely nothing to me. What are those characters doibg, and what does it have to do with the trope?

TheMightyHeptagon Since: Aug, 2011
#1185: May 13th 2017 at 7:01:00 AM

[up] It's not about what they're doing, it's a comparison between eras. One shows how the original creator (Stan Lee) portrayed the characters, the other shows how a later creator (Chris Claremont) reimagined them into their far more iconic version. It relates to the trope because it demonstrates the dissonance between how the original creator portrayed the characters and how most people picture them.

The suggested caption is "Left: the Stan Lee era of X-Men, which almost no one remembers. Right: the Chris Claremont era, which everyone remembers."

Would this image from VR Troopers be a good fit for Special Effect Failure.Live Action TV?

This totally doesn't clash at all.

Yeah, there should be a thread in the Image Pickin' Morgue about that page where that image was discussed.

I've hooked the new crowner, but there's some other suggestions for Monster Town somewhere that work better than the one in the crowner.

#1192: May 14th 2017 at 4:47:15 AM

^ Since we have a dedicated thread for it, the suggestion can be taken off, methinks.

Two image ideas for subpages:

For Funny.Fire Emblem Heroes: Narcian's damaged portrait. Caption idea: "I am strong. I am wise. I am—OH SCREW IT!"

For CrackPairing.Super Smash Bros: Link and Peach. Caption idea: "By any chance, are you hiding something from me?" "Link...can I see your Master Sword?"

(side note: The latter suggestion (and original caption idea) is based on an actual Miiverse post from the work's director.)

[up] I don't get the context for the first but that second one's hilarious..."Link...can I see your Master Sword?" would work, too.

[up][up] For the first, it's mainly the appearance itself that's funny, as noted on the page, while the caption is a reference to the character's catchphrase. As for the latter, your caption idea is way better. [tup] So we can use that instead once its time comes for the crowner.
