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.

- NightmareFuel.Live Action TV: Oh my god! Blackface is so scary!. Seriously though, I don't get what's nightmarish about this, it's just someone with dark facepaint smiling.
- NightmareFuel.Pikmin: A plant. Just a plant with an eye. A bit off-putting but terrifying, really?
- NightmareFuel.Invasion Of The Body Snatchers 1978: JAFAAC, plus this looks narmy as hell without the screeching sound.
- NightmareFuel.Bionicle: Poor image quality and it's JAFAAC.
- NightmareFuel.The Visit: JAFAAC

Funny.In Spectre: I fail to see the funny in a smiling girl about to be punched in the face.
My troper wall
It may be out of context and may work better as a video. Youtube clip for reference
.
I'm not sure if moments are allowed to have videos actually, but... idk the shot looks kind of amusing but I can also see how it may not be funny to others.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI've meant that it's only funny if you know the build-up. I wasn't suggesting a video, but that's a good question I'll ask elsewhere. (Video Guidelines implies no)

TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupI don't know the buildup and I think it's amusing.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wall- AwesomeMusic.Fire Emblem: Just a soundtrack image that shows nothing related to Music. (I thought that was removed)
- AwesomeMusic.Skies Of Arcadia: Just a soundtrack image that shows nothing related to Music.
- AwesomeMusic.John Williams: Just John Williams with several other characters, shows nothing related to Music.

This is found on NightmareFuel.Armored Core:

... without knowledge of the series, this looks nothing special. Vote to remove.
Edit: This post was not a suggestion, hence why I posted in this thread.

This is the MICT.
- TearJerker.Mission Impossible Film Series is just a guy.
- TearJerker.Twenty Four is just a guy.
- NightmareFuel.Fear 1996 is also just a guy, and while I can at least see how the last two are sad in context, I don’t see what’s supposed to be scary about this.

Closing crowner because it's been 5 days. I don't feel like processing it right now though. I can get it between today and tomorrow if no one else does.

So yeah, since you're new here: that's really all you need to do here. Just wait, and it'll eventually be put in a crowner.
Oh also, you forgot to add a link: NightmareFuel.NCIS

Macron's notesAs a reminder, please keep your posts down to about 5-8 suggested pulls. Long lists makes it harder for us to add images properly and slows the thread because a big post of 10+ items can easily take up a whole crowner (we try to do about 15 images at a time).
Edited by MacronNotes on Sep 5th 2023 at 2:34:49 PM
Macron's notesI voted to keep Funny.Starfield because a mound of sandwiches is ridiculous-looking.
Funny.Fist Of The North Star: the image doesn't convey what's funny out of context (Especially since the funniest part is the guy's voice when he dies)
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.

I also support to keep the Congo and Conjuring images
