I added the Yume de Aetara three-panel pic to the crowner.

In context, he's drying her off because he spilled water on her legs or something. Then her dad opened the door at the worst possible time.
Yeah, in My Bride Is A Mermaid, young mermaids involuntarily transform from human legs to fish if they get any water on them. Nagasumi was drying her off, and nothing more. Unfortunately, her dad forces him into a shotgun wedding because of it.
Got another one. Go go Neck Lift.

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Yeah and she is already up there as the current pic so we can probably just lock this. (Can we do Image links for subpages?)
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!It can go on the main ImageLinks.Oh Crap, which itself can be sorted into sections by medium if necessary.
The moment at which a character realizes that they are completely and totally screwed.
My biggest problem is, that the current picture doesn't look like a "Oh, Crap!" moment. Yes, it showes fear, but fear is the state wich comes after the Oh, Crap!. There has to be a element of shock and suprise in the picture.
...their faces are usually priceless
The description of the trope includes extreme facial expressions. I think the Chisame picture (the main page picture too) is way to understated. A good picture should include dropped jaws, bulging or blanked eyes, color failure...
I don't think that the exaggerated expression is necessary; the trope says that the face is usually like that. The real core of this trope "character's reaction to a 'shit hits the fan' moment", which usually includes a shocked face. The face isn't the only aspect of the trope, just the most visual one.
Reaction Image RepositoryThat's true, but it's still not an integral part of this trope. I figure we'll just go with whatever the crowner comes up with.
