HI! If an automated Image Pickin' thread-related PM for a page you are following sent you here, that means the image is being considered for removal. If you would like to vote for/against it, please familiarize yourself with the following guidelines then scroll down to the crowner.
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
- Removing an image that was kept on the page by a previous Moments Images crowner.
- 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 on Moments pages for unreleased works aren't permitted. If you see one, simply pull it, add the IP comment later in this post, and post in the thread to say it's been removed. It doesn't need discussion or a crowner.
- 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. Per the admins, being below the 800px size guideline is not on its own a reason to pull an image.
- 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: is there an Image Pickin' comment? Maybe a previous thread has explained the reasoning for this image, or it's already been included in a previous Moments cleanup crowner. 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 votes at +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with votes at +8 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- After 5 days, all remaining crowner items with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled, all items below the 2:1 ratio will be kept, and the crowner will be closed.
If a page gets its own Image Pickin' thread while it's on an active Moments crowner, that item will be withdrawn from the crowner.
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").
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.

Just making a note here to not pull the current image on TearJerker.Fairy Tail, as that was selected by thread before the crowner was called
.

NightmareFuel.Hell House LLCII The Abaddon Hotel
Basically the same as the first one. Just someone standing on stairs with no context.
The image on Tearjerker.Maquia When The Promised Flower Blooms is a low quality extreme long shot that doesn't look saddening without the context.
Working on Sandbox.The Amazing Race TV Tropes Edition.Heartwarming.TheMuppetChristmasCarol spoils the ending of the movie and TearJerker.TheMuppetChristmasCarol relies on context to be sad
I'm much too lazy to come up with a caption.
I heavily disagree with taking down the Heartwarming image. Everyone knows how Christmas Carol begins and ends for nearly two hundred years. Yet Another Christmas Carol is a trope for a reason. There is nothing about this film that is spoiler worthy since they don't put any twists on this old tale.
I will say that the Tearjerker does need context and can have a better image.
Let's holler. And here is more:
- Funny.IMGCM: Just a girl face-down on the floor.
- Heartwarming.Arknights: Just a Face and a Caption.
- Heartwarming.Azur Lane: It's a picture of a sea that's very unclear.

If it's not too late to add one more thing to the crowner, I just saw an image was added to TearJerker.Transformers One.
Gonna echo the same thing I said back when it was first suggested in the Image Pickin thread
, (the image was not added to the page by the same user that first suggested it), it's not sad out of context.
EDIT: Ignore, someone opened a thread for this page
.

Funny.Arcane is just Jinx making a silly face.

You’re Gonna Carry That Weight.Funny.Ed Edd N Eddy is just Eddy screaming (I know Ed, Edd n Eddy is a Sadist Show but that doesn't mean the physical pain of a main character is funny.)

Working to help keep TV Tropes in tip-top shape (she/her).TearJerker.Dragon Age II: Unclear what's supposed to be sad
Canuck Mc Duck 1 , please remove TearJerker.Fairy Tail from the crowner, the pic was recently replaced by its own thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=17300275070.18812900
.
~@Canuck Mc Duck 1 And how many are we doing? 18? 20? All of them?
Crown Description:

I closed it but won't have time to do the pulling-and-tagging (which anyone can do) for a while
