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
- 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 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.
- 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: maybe a previous thread has explained the reasoning for why it's on the page. 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 10 or up votes will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with 8 or up votes will be pulled.
- After 5 days, anything with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- Pulled images will be tagged as such:
%%https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1642193091068711500
%%Please do not add a new image without going through the Image Suggestion thread or starting a new Image Pickin' thread
This does not count towards their thread count.
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.
Kept images will be tagged as such:
%% Image kept on page via crowner in the Moments Images Cleanup Thread: [crowner link]
%% https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1642193091068711500
%% Please don't change or remove without starting a new thread.

It's been over 5 days. I believe the crowner should be called at this point, as all items in the positive are over consensus range.

Heartwarming.The Amazing Digital Circus: A bit too dark to see the hands and doesn't look that heartwarming out of context.
I'm just a psycho, babe! Come and go out my mind. I didn't lose it, babe! There wasn't much to find.

I was going to mention this, though I gotta add that even without putting the darkness into account, it's incomprehensible to see that those are grabbing hands in the first place.

While we're between crowners:
There was a suggestion in the offsite mod conversation that the +10 and +8 conditions for an early pull should also require a 2:1 minimum ratio, for consistency with general crowner rules.
In practice, I think that's been the case every time, but I can see that we might theoretically hit a vote split where it doesn't happen.
Any concerns if we add that into the guidance on future crowners?
the Retromancer
For consistency, yes. This would mean that if 20 people voted pull and 11 people voted keep, there could be a merit to keeping. Further concerns woukd be best to question for crowners as of whole, and there's a dedicated discussion on that topic.

Crowner is live. Vote early, vote often.
~deerhornsaresopretty: Heartwarming.Hello Sandybell currently has an image. If you want to replace it (as suggested here), that needs a new thread of it's own — it's not really in scope for this one.
~EmperorAI: For the same reasons, NightmareFuel.Cult Of The Lamb needs a thread of its own if you want to swap the image for this one.
One-Track Mind (he/him)
The title currently does not mention the fact there's a new crowner.

The Heartwarming page has already been settled, you can close it.
TearJerker/KillLaKillAU - Don't really understand what is considered tear-jerking here.
Awesome/ETTheExtraTerrestrial - Just characters at 3 flying vehicles from the sunset. Nothing awesome is happening here.
Heartwarming/DeadBoyDetectives2024 - Don't see anything that is considered heartwarming. Just some people with lanterns.

TearJerker.Overlord 2012: It shows someone (presumably) losing a fight, it otherwise doesn't seem to be a particularly sad moment.
I assume the guy is dead/dying? But that's not apparent in the pic.

The scene portrays the skeleton guy performing Mercy Kill in a rare moment of Villain Respect, but someone who doesn't know the work wouldn't get that.

NightmareFuel.Looper is just a face
Voting keep for Awesome.The Simpsons, I again find the reasoning weak. "Just a character standing on top of a mountain." Climbing mountains is inherently difficult, though??
I'd like to apologize for all this.
Yeah, without the full scene, it's impossible to tell what Ainz is actually doing in that pic. He's just kneeling next to Gazef.

Crown Description:
This crowner covers posts from here to here (inclusive) and may run for up to 5 days, depending on voting.
Vote UP to pull an image; vote DOWN to keep it on the page.
- After 24 hours, anything with +10 or more will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with +8 or more will be pulled.
- After 5 days, any remaining items with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled, any 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.
![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]")
But nobody would know that's what's happening unless they have the context.
