Image Suggestion Thread (New Crowner: October 28 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

%% 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):

[up][up]Probably you should revise some of your suggestion to avoid JAFAAC or other problems. For example Signature Item Clue is just a pic of an origami, how illustre the trope?

^ Hmm, you're right, on reflection that might be more obvious as a Calling Card (which is already pictured).

I think the reasons this crowner failed are pretty myriad, but that can happen. That's why this system is in place—as an external measurement.


For I Am the Noun, anyone object to using a crop of the image that centers the action a bit?

I actually like the image for Slaying Mantis...

Flies Equals Evil had its image pulled per this thread, which was locked for inactivity despite the many suggested options. I'd like to suggest the Pestilence card from Magic: The Gathering so we can finish that.

I'd like to suggest that the image on British Pubs be moved to My Local, as the former is a useful note and the latter is for fictional examples.

Any objections to using this on Soldier vs. Warrior? (No image currently.) It's a relatively well-known Real Life example where both sides win at different times under different conditions (see the 1st century BCE wars starting with Teutoburg Wald: Germans slaughter Romans with woodland guerrilla warfare, Romans slaughter Germans in open-field battle), and I like the contrast between the uniformity of the Roman legionnaires versus the chaotic berserker Germans.

I don't think the contrast is particularly noticeable, especially the contrast that's actually the point of the trope.

Yes it is...I'll try to get that set up this evening. In the meantime, the three options that are in the green can be put up on their respective pages.

Okay, now I think I know why Slaying Mantis received so many downvotes. There's a nearly unnoticeable (C) sign in the corner. But we also use complete Magic cards, so does that matter?

I'd like to suggest the following for The Problem with Fighting Death.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/harry_171.png
You can't cheat death.

[down] There is important visual information, specifically the size differential and the fact that Death has him on a string like some cat and mouse game emphasizes that you can't oppose something godlike.

It's artsy and all, but I can't tell how that's supposed to be a failed attempt at fighting death.

Meet - Ciaphas Cain, Kain, Khaine, Deckard Cain, Kane, aaand Caine.

Picture seems perfect (in fact, I can't believe it wasn't already considered and dropped for some reason, but still), although it's hard to find an author since it's all over the internets by now. Maybe someone'll manage, if that's really necessary.

Once a few more threads get cleared out of the queue, I'll build the threads for the failed options here and start a new crowner.

Crown Description:

This crowner covers posts from here to here (inclusive) and may run for up to 7 days, depending on voting. Vote UP to add an image to the page; vote DOWN to reject the suggestion.
  • After 3 days, anything with +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be added to the page.
  • After 5 days, anything with +7 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be added to the page.
  • After 7 days, any remaining 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.
If an item has a (CLOSED) note, there is no need to vote on it; the result has already been decided. Do not add more items to the crowner once it's running.
