Heartwarming Moments, Funny Moments, Moment of Awesome, Awesome Music, Tear Jerker, and Nightmare Fuel subpages tend to attract low-quality and unillustrative images that don't evoke the emotions they should, even if the scenes are examples in context. While it is very easy to pull them, the Image Pickin' forum has trouble finding replacements most of the time, leaving most of these threads to close due to inactivity and take up room while doing so.
In order to free up slots, this thread is designed to handle moments subpages with a single bad image.
This thread is not for:
- Start a thread in the following cases
- Removing an image because you already have an alternative suggestion on hand
- Moments page images that are duplicated somewhere else
- Moments pages with multiple images
- Pages that are on Image Pickin' Special Cases (assuming their status allows it)
- Images that you personally don't find funny/sad/heartwarming/awesome/scary, or can't fully glean the context of, but still have some visual element of the Moment they're supposed to evoke (for example, a messy explosion might still be worth keeping on an Awesome/ page even if you don't understand what's exploding, because of Stuff Blowing Up). Remember that these are YMMV items.
- If the only problem is that it's low-quality, try the quality upgrade thread
first.
- If the problem is that the on-page examples are bad, please see the Moments cleanup thread and the specific Nightmare Fuel cleanup thread.
How it works
- First, have you Failed a Spot Check? Check the page source: maybe a previous thread has explained the reasoning for why it's on the page. You can also go to the Ask for Explanations thread for other opinions.
- Link the page with the image you want examined. Please explain why you think it is a bad image (e.g. JAFAAC, "more funny than scary"). Posts without such reasoning will not be entertained. (You can use the Image Pickin' thread guidelines for reasoning help.) If suggesting multiple pages in a single post, please put them in a bulleted list to ensure that each entry can stand on its own and that they won't be missed when the crowner is made.
- Similar to the Image Suggestion thread, a crowner will be run containing the proposed pulls. Each crowner will run about 15 items at a time and last for 5 days. Please do not add items to a crowner once it's running.
- After 24 hours, anything with 10 or up votes will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with 8 or up votes will be pulled.
- After 5 days, anything with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- Pulled images will be tagged as such:
%%https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1642193091068711500
%%Please do not add a new image without going through the Image Suggestion thread or starting a new Image Pickin' thread
This does not count towards their thread count.
If you think of a replacement image after an image has been pulled, you can use the Image Suggestion thread or start a new thread for a replacement.
Kept images will be tagged as such:
%% Image kept on page via crowner in the Moments Images Cleanup Thread: [crowner link]
%% https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1642193091068711500
%% Please don't change or remove without starting a new thread.

Skipped NightmareFuel.Redo Of Healer [1], as there were multiple objections and it seems like the suggestion was retracted.
[cracks knuckles]
- Regarding Awesome.My Hero Academia and Heartwarming.One Piece, I am surprised we don't seem to have a "character raises fist in triumph/solidarity" trope, because that's 100% a feel-good pose. Voting to keep for that reason.
- TearJerker.One Piece is pretty clearly a Cry into Chest, and that's, well, self-explanatory.
- Awesome.One Piece: I see someone squaring off against three opponents. Floating water is involved. That looks cool. Good enough for me.
- NightmareFuel.Jacksepticeye: I think the slicing is pretty clear. The poor quality looks to be part of the point (like a grainy horror style)
- Funny.Pewdiepie is a funny face!!! That's not JAFAAC for a Funny/ page!!!!
- Funny.Markiplier: I'm getting Head Desk vibes. Head Desk is a funny trope.
- TearJerker.My Hero Academia: Crying children are generally sad...
I don't know. I feel like there's a lot of reaching going on, or at the very least like "I don't find this [emotional] and I can't possibly see why others might".

Agreed with Sync. Most of the suggestions are strong to keep. Actually some of the reasons explaining in there why they should be removed seems pretty vague.

TearJerker.Papers Please: Just a photo of a little girl out of context, the caption does all the heavy lifting.

Kept by thread, still voting keep.

I'd like to apologize for all this.
Oh, really? I wasn't aware. Disregard my post then.
the Retromancer
Looks pullable to me, but if it had a thread then sure.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
One-Track Mind (he/him)
- Heartwarming.The Idolmaster: Looks Tear Jerk-y out of context, as not everyone will understand why the girl is crying. Also possibly JAFAAC.
- TearJerker.The Idolmaster: Severely lacks context, as not everyone will understand why the girl is crying. Also possibly JAFAAC.
"Cool. Coolcoolcool."
- Funny.Anyone But You: It is hard to tell what is supposed to be funny.
Why is Funny.PewDiePie mostly agreed upon, but Funny.Jacksepticeye is rather divided, despite the fact that they are both JAFAAC?
One-Track Mind (he/him)
Because Funny.Jacksepticeye is not JAFAAC. For one thing, there's the "DIS MAH SERIOUS FACE" text to the left of Jack's face, which many ppl find funny.

I'm lovin' it. (My Troper Wall)I'm surprised I'm the only one who finds Heartwarming.Jacksepticeye keepable, but okay.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

I noticed that TearJerker.One Piece has multiple images. We should open a thread to discuss about it.
Agreed
Also, may suggest a new image for My Hero Academia, because the old one was removed
the Retromancer
You've already done so here.
I just don’t know if image’s already approved or not
the Retromancer
Images are queued for the voting into the crowner box below, it may take a while. Informal approvals don't count.
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
They go on a crowner. They aren't instantly "approved".
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
I just down understand how choosing a replacement image works. The rules above have a vague description
the Retromancer
You suggest something, people click yes or no buttons when it's time, then a mod moves the image to the page.
But there’s no link to My Hero Academia - Heartwarming below
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
Because crowners go in batches. Things aren't instantly up for a vote.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
How long does it take
the Retromancer
A few days per batch
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
Crown Description:
This crowner covers posts from here to here (inclusive) and may run for up to 5 days, depending on voting.
Vote UP to pull an image; vote DOWN to keep it on the page.
- After 24 hours, anything with +10 or more will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with +8 or more will be pulled.

- If an item has a (CLOSED) note, there is no need to vote on it; the result has already been decided.
