  • $\begingroup$ Sorry VirtualValentin, but where do you even expect us to begin with this? This very much seems like, "Guess what I am thinking of..." $\endgroup$

Another answer might be

The profile picture of this ‘star’ user.

This is because

‘Sneaky’ is a synonym for devious, of which Deusovi is an anagram.

Further,

The rhyme is reminiscent of Twinkle, Twinkle — which is a rhyme about stars, and Deusovi is a ‘star’ of this site. More specifically though, Deusovi is a mod, and mods have diamonds next to their names — like a diamond in the sky, as referenced by hint 2.

    $\begingroup$ Heh, I didn't even remember the words of the original rhyme. The only thing I could remember was tea trays. $\endgroup$

Since this is about "fourth wall", the answer should involve

something on Puzzling SE itself.

We don't have much to go on, so let's try

looking for a cool guy.

Found one:

this user.

Now since we're looking for an image,

let's search that user's posts for images.

The only result that comes up is

this post,

which contains this image:

    $\begingroup$ I actually hope this answer is not correct, because it wouldn't be a very good puzzle if so (too many changeable elements, so it wouldn't be durable). But the clues and hints we have do seem to be pointing towards something like this. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You're getting there. I was a little hesitant about creating this puzzle because using StackExchange as a medium for a puzzle requires that you look at one point in time with how this site functioned and what posts/users/behaviors are around. Nevertheless, I still found this concept interesting, so I decided to go with elements that aren't as subject to change. I didn't consider things like posts, score, reputation, badges, etc - those are way too brittle. $\endgroup$
