Sorry to hear that
ALL HAIL THE CARDBOARD BOX.
That's right! in the square hole...
When you first saw the box... were you blinded by its majesty?

Ooh! MAJESTIC!
The box shall be called....Danbooru!
In the twitter thumbnail preview:
Putting this in the clever pool for the twitter thumbnails.

That doesn't work if the thumbnails aren't what we see.

That... feels reductive, in this case.
One being that's not a condition for the pool, whose only rules state "If something strikes you as "clever", it goes here. This might be a witty visual pun, a savvy cross-reference, or just something really original." And this objectively is clever - it's using the thumbnail function on twitter to produce a composite image out of two thumbnails.
Two, there's plenty of images in the Clever pool where how it's clever needs to be explained. And there's at least one whole pool, Hilarious in Hindsight, where comments explaining why things should be in there is practically mandatory.
I can be brought around to the idea that Clever isn't the right pool for it, but not without some other pool or more unique tag used. Clever, Creative, the most tortured definition of Misleading Thumbnails? or some tag for decomposite images. Because it'd be a damn shame if this imageset didn't get the signal boost it deserved just because no single image qualifies on it's own.
I'd even be receptive to trying to edit the images to a version that matches the thumbnail so that can get the appropriate marker. We just should be able to do this art justice somehow.
Not everything belongs in a pool and the purpose of Danbooru is not to "do art justice" by treating pools and tags like awards. Pools do not exist for "signal boosting." By themselves these are completely normal looking images, only through Twitter's specific cropping do you see something special.
That said, the correct tag for this, afaik, is thumbnail collage. We don't need to put every set of images like that into the Clever pool.
