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.

- Funny.Senran Kagura: The comedic visual in the pic is easy to miss and not that funny.
The current image for NightmareFuel/MeatBoy doesn't look particularly scary. I know the boss depicted is a brain controlling a bunch of glass, but the way it's drawn doesn't exactly make it look all that intimidating out of context.
Wahoo!Heartwarming.Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: Just Sora holding an orb of light. Doesn't seem very Heartwarming out of context.
NightmareFuel.Kingdom Hearts II: Just a render of a boss. Looks more badass than scary.
Funny.Dr Tran: Just a guy roasting over a campfire.
Good morning, and good night, I hardly ever sleep. With what I have, what else do you think I'd ever need?[ignore] I didn't realize I was on the wrong thread.

Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.
You'll need to take this to the Caption Discussion/Repair Thread.
Reposting the MICT Crowner sandbox to get the attention of any mods.
Do not mess with creatures which you do not understand.Funny.A Minecraft Movie: Yes, "chicken jockey" is a popular meme, but this won't make sense without context.
Good morning, and good night, I hardly ever sleep. With what I have, what else do you think I'd ever need?
Didn't we already discuss this?
If 2 separate people have brought it up as an issue (small bias notwithstanding), I think it should be added to the crowner just to be safe.
I’ll lift my face, and run to the sunlight.I still say that Funny.AMinecraftMovie works fine. I wouldn't pull without a good replacement
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadBased on the sandbox to compile suggestions, here are the tentative options for the next crowner:
- NightmareFuel.Futari Wa Pretty Cure: Just a girl looking at her hand.
- NightmareFuel.Nerd Cubed: Just a teddy bear.
- Heartwarming.Chicken Little 2005: Low-quality and doesn't make sense to those who haven't seen the work.
- NightmareFuel.Jurassic Park Horror: Just dinosaur feet.
- Heartwarming.Plankton The Movie: Isn't heartwarming out of context and hard to tell because the character has no visible facial expression.
- NightmareFuel.The Car: Just an explosion
- NightmareFuel.SSSS Dynazenon: Unclear what's supposed to be scary
- NightmareFuel.Goblin Slayer: Out-of-context is not scary, considering it is a prelude to an assault.
- NightmareFuel.Carry On Screaming: Just a guy
- NightmareFuel.Despicable Me 4: Just an arm
- NightmareFuel.Grandmaster Of Demonic Cultivation Mo Dao Zu Shi: JAFAAC
- NightmareFuel.The New Order Last Days Of Europe: Just a city
- NightmareFuel.Guyver: Looks more heroic and badass than scary.
- AwesomeMusic.The Lego Movie: Unclear that it has anything music-related, especially with low-quality.
- Funny.Senran Kagura: The comedic visual in the pic is easy to miss and not that funny.
- NightmareFuel.Meat Boy: Not particularly scary, even with context.
- Heartwarming.Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: Just Sora holding an orb of light. Doesn't seem very Heartwarming out of context.
- NightmareFuel.Kingdom Hearts II: Just a render of a boss. Looks more badass than scary.
- Funny.Dr Tran: Just a kid roasting over a campfire.

TearJerker.Toy Story 4: Definitely looks more heartwarming than sad out of context.
NightmareFuel.The Princess And The Frog: Is rather spoiler-y since it shows how the Big Bad ultimately gets defeated.

I'm much too lazy to come up with a caption.
Crown Description:
This crowner covers posts from October 7 2025- After 24 hours, anything with +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with +8 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- After 5 days, any remaining 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 an item has a (CLOSED) note, there is no need to vote on it; the result has already been decided.

The chicken's expression is pretty funny too
I think it works out of context, even if I am aware of CHICKEN JOCKEY
