As mentioned in the Image explanations thread, the image’s text is very hard to read and overall doesn’t illustrate the trope that much

I’ll lift my face, and run to the sunlight.

I pitched this for Ensign Newbie a while back and it didn't get picked perhaps it will work for this?

Though whilst current is too small I don't think it's that unillustrative. Is someone giving someone they just met a frosty reaction.

I'm on phone at the moment so it's hard to judge wiki size but is this any more readable?

The reason I disliked the current wasn't for the small text but because I genuinely can't parse which character is supposed to be the "newbie". The trope goes beyond "giving someone they just met a frosty reception". And not wanting to talk about a loss with someone you just met is hardly a frosty reaction, that reaction comes across as perfectly reasonable to me. Hence why I brought it up; I've got no clue what's actually meant to be happening there.

Superconsensus for 'no pic for now'. The pic's pulled and the page is tagged, closing.
