          member = ctx.author
      wanted = Image.open("wanted.png")
      asset = ctx.author.avatar_url_as(size = 128)
      data = BytesIO(await asset.read())
      pfp = Image.open(data)
      pfp = pfp.resize((144,144))

Assuming from your comment your project looks like this:

YourProject
├─ main.py
└─ Cogs
    ├─ fun.py
    └─ wanted.png

If you are running your bot from the YourProject directory like so:

\Some\directories\YourProject> python main.py

The script is trying to access YourProject/wanted.png not YourProject/Cogs/wanted.png . You can fix it in 3 ways:

1. By providing full directory:

Image.open("/Some/directories/YourProject/Cogs/wanted.png")

2. By specifing folder name (It will only work if you run your script from YourProject directory):

Image.open("Cogs/wanted.py")

3. By making image relative to your fun.py file:

import os
filepath = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
Image.open(f"{filepath}/wanted.png")

I recommend using the 3rd option because then you can run your python file from wherever you want.
