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

  • 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][up] I'd probably put the parenthetical quip in an asterisked labelnote, personally.

I don't believe this is the thread for that. If you want to suggest replacing an image on a page that already has one, you need to make a dedicated thread.

IANAM, though, so if Willbyr or Fighteer or whoever contradict me on this, take their word over mine.

Agreed, replacing a pic on a page generally requires its own thread.

[up] See at the bottom of the image picking page where it says "Create a New Conversation"? Press that button, and follow the instructions.

All the failed options from the previous crowner now have dedicated threads, and I've set the new crowner up from options through post 168.

I had actually withdrawn some of those, including Signature Item Clue.

Anyhoo, here's an updated list.

    Suggestions 

What should be done if you have multiple candidates for a single trope? Suggest them here or start a new thread?

If there's multiple candidates (as in, 3 or more), they should get their own thread to keep the crowner in this thread from getting cluttered with one trope's suggestions.

I'd like to suggest this Zero Percent Discount strip for Reality-Breaking Paradox, however it's the full strip and I can't see it work with any of the panels left out.

I cropped the image for Embarrassing Tattoo in the crowner. Also improved the image quality for Hostage Situation so you may want to recast your vote.

When we discussed the pic for Cuckold, this newspaper cartoon ultimately didn't make it as it didn't fit the trope. I'd like to re-submit it for Bedroom Adultery Scene (I think panel 2 can work by itself, or alternatively panel 2+3).

Hey

I would like to suggest a pic of Bill Cipher's death from Gravity Falls for Shapeshifter Swan Song. Just feels appropriate to me:

Might be hard to get a pic with all the forms he takes, but I think it's visually striking enough to make a good trope pic.

Hello, I'm suggesting this image as the page image for Ain't Too Proud to Beg

[1]

Caption: Well, at least this plan has a higher chance of success than sneaking in without getting caught.

^ We'll probably need to select a few panels from that for size reasons. Perhaps just the last one.

The last two panels ("Please let me in" + "This is the master plan?") are probably enough, honestly.

The previous crowner has had all its options either put on pages or made into new threads. A new crowner's been hooked using 170 and most of 171.

The image link in the crowner from Existential Comics is giving me an error message.

[up] Yeah, I couldn't get that one to load when I was setting up the crowner.

EDIT: Maybe it came from this strip?

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.
