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.

Shocking/ seems to attract the same problem as Tearjerker/ when people care to add an image, huh?
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.The image at Awesome.Resident Evil Village is really dark, and even if it weren't, out of context it is some people standing on a field holding guns.
oh hey how are you doing?I'm guessing the main page images for Tear Jerker and Shocking Moments may be contributing to the subpage illustration problem.
NightmareFuel.Moon Knight 2022: Image is really dark/blurry, and it is hard to make what is suppose scary about it.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadTearjerker.Moon Knight 2022 is JAFAAC... of Marc Spector looking more dazed than sad

It seems that someone removed
the Funny.Spider Man No Way Home picture while it was still on the crowner. While I didn’t think the image worked, removing it without going through this forum was an improper way of dealing with the issue.
Awesome.Spider Man Far From Home




NightmareFuel.Mario And Luigi Superstar Saga

It is unclear what is happening in the image for Funny.The Adventures Of Tintin 2011. The caption doesn't help give context either.
Also, The image for Heartwarming.The Adventures Of Tintin 2011 is a meta example. It's unremarkable in context of the scene.

- NightmareFuel.Dragons Riders Of Berk is just the villain (Dagur the Deranged) making an evil grin.
- NightmareFuel.Luca is just Alberto (one of the heroes of the movie) looking kind of sinister.
I pulled the rest of the images on the crowner because they had a positive vote ratio.



NightmareFuel.Xenoblade Chronicles

NightmareFuel.Battle Of The Multiverse

Super Mario World (Video game)

NightmareFuel.The Stanley Parable


NightmareFuel.Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Macron's notesKeep-voting:
- NightmareFuel.One Punch Man as I feel it’s just unsettling enough.
- Funny.Star Trek Deep Space Nine as the situation is absurd on its own.
Also, the Funny.Sonic The Hedgehog 22022 reason is referring to a pic that was pulled unilaterally between the post and the crowner (citing Moments pages aren’t supposed to have images until the home video release, whcih I don’t think is the rule). A new pic was added since then that works better. Starting a thread.

Even for the target demo, NightmareFuel.Word Girl feels rather tame.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.NightmareFuel.Open Season is just the villain looking menacing.
This account is now inactive because the actual Fivey (my sheep who I loved dearly) passed away and it feels wrong to use her name anymore.
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.

Shocking.Love Live is a reaction to a shocking moment rather than a shocking moment in itself. We've pulled at least one pic
for that reason before.
