[tup] to 1.1., since it’s more obvious in throwing away weapons.

Do not mess with creatures which you do not understand.

Ehhh...neither one is really getting the "symbolic" part across clearly enough, and that's the heart of the trope.

Good morning, and good night, I hardly ever sleep. With what I have, what else do you think I'd ever need?

I'd say both look symbolic enough given the character poses, and the fact that the page title is right next to it. That makes them not amazing, but better than no pic imho.

[tup] 1.1

(edit) or 1.2 as my second choice, per [down]

I think 1.2, with the 'offering' body language, is stronger on the 'symbolic'. You can see some more weapons in the pit, so I think it paired with an explanatory caption, would work nicely.

Bump, two options are evenly in the green.

Calling for no pic for now. I'll tag the page; locking up.
