This thread is dedicated to image suggestions for pages without pics (including those where previous images were 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 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.
- 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

Aye, that is what I feared. I will go for the Hans doing good deeds and Hans about to kill Elsa if nothing else. Some people may say it's Villain with Good Publicity, but the thing is that Villain with Good Publicity and Evil All Along are interconnected along with Bitch in Sheep's Clothing. Image-wise, Hans is fairly unique in that he doesn't come across as an Obviously Evil person unlike Palpatine or Lex Luthor in the first image. Thus, he fits well with Evil All Along because the audience would not suspect it unless they are overly paranoid.
Evil All Along should definitely get its own thread. Here.
^ A few things:
A good example does not necessarily make for a good image.
When tropes are closely related, that's an argument against using overlapping images if we can help it.
It's been a week, so the remaining suggestions have been added to their pages.
Started threads for the deadlocked ones, including a few that had less than 7 votes total.
Here's the next crowner
. With 20 suggestions that takes us up the rest of post 1713 on the previous page.
Here's the definition of Male Might, Female Finesse.
In fiction, male-female fighting pairs tend to have the guys dealing damage from close range while the girls stay out of the front lines and dish out damage from long range either as an archer or a mage (or both) or heal up the guy doing all the fighting.
"Olivier Mira Armstrong" using a sword (close-range weapon) is Not An Example.
Magic Ampersand: Suggestion
◊ from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
As for the I Noun suggestion, when it can be easily avoided it's best not to use images for trope pages that come across as belonging on a work's page. Here's an alternative suggestion:
Alternative for Male Might, Female Finesse, in light of the points I raised just a few posts up...
EDIT: Also, for Astonishingly Appropriate Interruption...

Pop-Cultural Osmosis, mainly. Though I doubt they'd portray a male as being more sleek than a dirt-covered female counterpart.
The relevant point is that it at least... probably counts as example, while the Olivier one seems like it doesn't.

I don't even know what work that's from. And the image would need to unambiguously show masculinity and femininity.

Very well, then. I just proposed it as an alternative to the other suggestion.
Anyway, here's two versions of a suggestion for You, Get Me Coffee...
Suggestion for Artificial Afterlife from Doctor Who:

OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!Opinions: Would the image currently on Scooby Stack look better flipped
◊? (preview

I retract my suggestion for Frictionless Ice, in light of how, if it were frictionless, he shouldn't have been able to push that block forwards without pushing himself backwards.
In hindsight, it'd be better off without an image.
Some more suggestions:
- Just Desserts: Suggestion
◊ from Rio.
- Viva Las Vegas!: Suggestion
◊ from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
- A Fool for a Client: Suggestion
◊ from print media.
- Post-Peak Oil: Suggestion
◊ from internet.
It's been five days, so all suggestions with a positive of 7 or more have been added.
Also started threads for I, Noun and Male Might, Female Finesse given the counter-suggestions offered further up.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
