This thread is meant to be a place for people to ask questions and request discussion about existing page images they have concerns about; this can be used to determine if a thread should be made to replace an image.
For example, questions about Just a Face and a Caption concerns, whether a picture requires additional context, whether a picture demonstrates all of the necessary aspects or a trope, or whether a trope better demonstrates a related trope can be asked here.
Mod edit: Before posting here, please check the page source to see if the page has previously been discussed in Image Pickin'. Your question may already have been brought up in a prior thread.

Plucky Office Girl's name is at odds with the description, which is less about a Plucky Girl who works at an office and more about a put-upon office lady. The image shows the latter. Previous thread
.
I've upgraded Non-Powered Costumed Hero. I think the prominent focus on her blade also adds to it; the assumption is that a superpowered individual wouldn't Fight Like a Normal.

as per the previous Plucky Office Girl thread:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1604814711015293300
"the description portrays her as unhappy, not necessarily 'plucky'."
Honestly the trope has a confusing name IMO.

Is it clear what is happening in Touch Telepathy? Feels more like a romantic scene.
You’re Gonna Carry That Weight.
I think this is one of those cases where the caption is allowed to clarify.

I think there's a clear distinction Toilet Humour is referring to poop and pee and bad smells. Vulgar Humour is in a public toilets yes but the joke is it looks like the women in the photos are judging the urinal users "equipment" as they pee.
ImageSource.Internet under Twitter / X makes sense to me.
Lost Wedding Ring don't get me wrong I get the joke but it doesn't seem to fit the spirit of the trope which is about the stress and panic caused by losing a wedding or engagement ring.

Under what Image source should i put the vase art and the bestiary drawing in Our Sirens Are Different?
The vase art should go both in the Myths & Religion folder in Other Media as well as it's own dedicated folder in Arts (just like glasswork)
The bestiary goes under Literature

I believe the better thread for these kinds of questions is Images Without a Source
.
The Precious, Precious Shoes strikes me as Just A Shoe And A Caption; any opinions on that?
I also don't see anything, it's just a somewhat-dirty cheap-looking shoe, when the trope is about consistent maintenance.

I agree with you both that you kinda need to intuit that the shoes are just scuffed up and the owner is about to get upset but I will point out them being sneakers isn't the problem (those are 1989 Air Jordan 4s, the cost $110 at time of release equivalent to $284ish today).
I think something like this which mentions the owner not wanting to mess them up might work better (,when we have a thread):

I was going to say adding a second (sub-)pic of Buggin' Out flipping his shit over the scuffing might work, but
is an improvement for sure

I'm a little confused by Chilly Reception. Am I missing something? I can't even tell who the newbie is. The conversation is just confusing.

How do we feel about Non-Powered Costumed Hero? I mean, maybe the text in the corner helps, but I think it could at least benefit from an upgrade to make the text clearer and a new caption.
Plucky Office Girl, on the other hand, shows very little pluck.
