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.

It looks like a YouTube video but you can't click or play anything because it's actually a TV Tropes image.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanIt's supposed to look like a video embed but not actually be interactive
I think it illustrates the trope title, but if you read the description, that's not what the trope is about.
Fjón þvæ ég af mér fjanda minna rán og reiði ríkra manna.Well, the description spends a little too much with rhetoric to be clear but I don't think that the image doesn't fit the trope description. "Apparent interactivity has no actual effect" is the trope.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
It's not perfect, but those usually look like that, so I think it's OK.
Would be a cool tattoo though.
FR though, I have no idea what I'm looking at. I didn't see Dracula until Willbyr pointed it out.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallIs Cold Sleep, Cold Future okay? I find it hard to read and the visuals don't help illustrate much.

It's really bad. Not only is it too text-heavy, it's also difficult to read and not even too illustrative.
Not great, but acceptable IMO. A teenager looking really sad while looking at her phone. The caption helps too.
Isn't that the textbook definition of jafaac tho?
I think we can do better.
I suppose, by the transitive property, I too must be "Vulcan as a Motherfucker."[1]It's definitely not JAFAAC, because we don't need to know the context to know what's happening.
Fjón þvæ ég af mér fjanda minna rán og reiði ríkra manna.Except, the context is all coming from the trope title. If the trope title were "Doomscrolling", would the image say "this person is being cyber-bullied" to you?
Besides that, This might be the source
It doesn't appear to be from a work; just a stock photo. I think we can do better.
I suppose, by the transitive property, I too must be "Vulcan as a Motherfucker."[1]Nobody's saying we can't do better, they're just saying it's not JAFAAC. That's for when the image literally has nothing illustrative about it.

It’s Self-Demonstrating.
