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):

%% 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

I'd say Cavalry Refusal deserves its own thread at this point. Anyone else?

Here are some more suggestions for unpictured tropes as well.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

[up] I like most of the suggestions although I don't think Sickbed Slaying illustrates the trope enough.

[up] There's a lot of overlap between that image and the Nightmare Fuel pages for both Raiders of the Lost Ark and the overall Indiana Jones franchise, and the Nightmare Fuel pages take precedent, IMHO.

^^^ Here's a new one with 10 options to field.

^ I disagree that it takes precedence, but dunno about the duplication issue.

Note:

  • Started a separate thread for Cavalry Refusal with multiple options to deal with.
  • Breast Plate already has an image; replacing it would require its own thread as well.

^^ Thanks for catching that. However, a version of The Come and See pic is already used on Prematurely Grey-Haired.

Concerning the Badass Fingersnap suggestion. Roy Mustang is an example of the trope and the image shows that clearly, but, if I'm not mistaken, it was taken from an event late in the series, when he lost his eyesight after an attempt at human transmutation. Riza Hawkeye (seen in the background) is helping him aim. That's kind of a spoiler, no?

[up] As the person who posted the picture, it's not obvious that he's blind. (Like literally, I didn't know until You Just Told Me; I saw some discussion of him in the Death Battle thread, watched a short video of him versus Envy in Brotherhood to get a feel for his powers, decided he might be a good example for a Badass Fingersnap and then found that particular picture in Google Image search.)

Yes, his eyes are closed and Riza is behind him, but that just gives a feel of resignation from him and a sense that he's protecting Riza.

That's still would be weird for a newcomer to the series to see that Roy is firing with his eyes closed and Riza, his bodyguard, is hiding behind him.

Point taken. Voting it up.

P.S. I also apologize for spoiling you both. The irony of that is not lost on me.

P.P.S. Closed the spoilers with tags.

I made sure the images for Holy Is Not Safe are different from the ones used in the NF pages for Raiders and Indiana Jones. Mainly by showing the different stages of the Body Horror in the final scene.

Could we add my suggestion to the crowner?

Left: most people think Mario hits blocks with his head. Right: Mario actually hits blocks with his fist.
As a suggestion for the Common Knowledge Video Games page, I figured that we could use one of the oldest jokes about videogames: Mario getting brain damage from repeatedly hitting his head on blocks... which he never does in any of the actual games. The setup for this image and caption is based upon the current image for the main Common Knowledge page.

The left image is from this comic from Virtual Shackles (unfortunately, I can't find the original source, since the URL leads to a 404). The right image is from Super Mario Bros. 1 and clearly shows the space between the block and Mario's head, with his fist touching the bottom of the block instead.

Wait. We had competing images for The Rich Have White Stuff with promising feedback. Don't know where we discussed it though.

[up][up]Yeh, searching for it doesn't show the spin-off thread up, so I just put up the picture that I have that got the best responses. Though I think the other pictures were of Akon's house? Which, out of context, is just a Big Fancy House that is white, as well as being Real World, not demonstrating how excesses of white possessions are visually emphasizing wealth.

It's been three days, so all suggestions with a net positive of 10 or more votes have been added to their pages.

Started a thread for Evil Only Has to Win Once.
