Some people design an original species, and permit other people to create OCs of that species. When it’s a blanket, unrestricted permission, it’s an open species; when participation is restricted, ie. there is a defined set of characters (which is not to say it’s unchanging - for example, “slots” may be auctioned), it’s a closed species.

Thanks for the answer!

Proprietary species, what a weird concept. 🤔

Is the Grinch tag about the series or the character himself, what is the purpose of the tag How the Grinch stole Christnas.

Good question. There’s also the little-used tag grinch (character) as well as grinch face. Also, the tag the grinch existed earlier than the 2018 movie of that title, so it’s not referring to that (though Wikipedia says the 2000 movie was titled “The Grinch” specifically in the UK). So, I guess it’s just a category tag for Grinch-esque things. “how the grinch stole christmas” then would be used to tag only direct references to things that happened in that story.

The tag natural hair color seems to be used as a mix of “hair colors that IRL humans can grow” (whether the drawing is of a human, or pony, etc.) and also “undyed hair on characters that usually wear dyed hair”, is that right?

Furthermore, the tag human coloration only depends on skin color in order to apply, not hair color, is that right?

There’s no tag that specifically means “a depiction of a character who normally has fantasy hair color, instead with a color IRL humans can grow”?

(I’m wording it that way because I would include things like someone who dyes their gray hair brown)

Now* that the tags have been redefined so that EqG-shaped characters are “human”, and they canonically are widely-hued, is the tag pony coloring obsolete?

Most of EQG images are not tagged “human”. I’m not sure if such a rule change happened.

Anyway, even if it did, I don’t think this tag is obsolete. “human, pony coloring” still sounds like a valid tag for pony-colored humans who are not drawn in EQG style.

Does grumpy squirrel count as anthro?

If so then the cows and sheep in FIM would be anthro as well, since they talk. Over on Furbooru they’d probably be tagged feral, but here I don’t think we really need to get into that level of furry wonk granularity.

Talking doesn’t count cuz it would kill 95% of keywording. Hell, even IRL animals technically talk in some way.

e621 puts it well:

An animal character that is depicted in its natural (real) form.

Ferals usually move on four legs (if they have legs at all), but this category also includes naturally bipedal animals such as kangaroos, birds, and various dinosaurs. In these cases the difference between anthro and feral can be subtle, but can usually be determined from the neck and shoulder shape, and the overall posture.

So yeah, if it was up to me, that squirrel (she also wears an apron and has chestboobs, the latter being defined on Derpibooru as 1 feature of an anthro) would definitely be anthro and the vast majority of animals in ‘MLP’ feral.

I’d say semi-anthro. :v
Aside from whether she has chest breasts (debatable IMO), it seems just right.

What? No, that has nothing to do with the meaning of the tag anthro on Derpibooru

@rautamiekka, @Hopen Way
Yeah, I thought it would pretty much come down to the “chestiness”, since squirrels naturally have hands (one of Derpibooru’s “anthro” qualifiers) and bipedalness could be just semi-anthro - but it’s a bit of a trope for cartoon animals to be drawn with a curvy chest and no actual breasts so I wasn’t sure.

However, I looked up the original animation and she’s drawn with actual cleavage, so that plus the bipedalness seems like “anthro” to me (AFAIK squirrels just sit up, not walk on two legs)

Zeb also seems to be anthro as well. He is walking on 2 legs and has human-like shoulders.

Semi-anthro, to be specific, since he has hooves for hands.

Come to think of it … I watched all G1-3 episodes, yet I don’t remember seeing him, not even on MyLittleWiki …

retarded should not be a tag, and everyone who’s added it to an image should get a few hours in the Time Out Box and a reminder not to do that again.

Many usages have the word in the image.

Misuse is misuse, it doesn’t mean the tag is bad, it means it’s being misused. The same applies to every tag people misuse.

Is there a tag for when ears are drawn so puffy that they look like they have a fleshlight stuck in them?

Why is wingering (fingering by a wing) limited to clitoral/vaginal ? O.o

Detailed description:
Clitoral or vaginal stimulation by use of wings.

I checked with *ingering*, couldn’t find any equivalent for anal, or any other form for that matter. Dunno if any uploads exist, though.

I couldn’t find one. But, I vaguely remember one existing. Maybe that was back on ponibooru? Hard to remember.
If you really think one needs to exist, maybe “thick ears”, “ear frog/frogs”, “ear butt/butts”/“earbutt(s)” (like hoofbutt), or “fleshy ears” (which is the phrase a withered neuron dragged up from memory but I wouldn’t recommend today due to inaccuracy).

@rautamiekka
Probably an oversight. Maybe suggest a description update in the tag description thread?

It just needs to kept distinct from wingjob.

Haven’t seen an answer to my (NSFW) question here after I responded to saby’s request for clarification.

Are candy canes regionally known as sugar canes, or something? There are a lot of images depicting candy canes tagged with sugar cane or sugarcane. Anyway, sugar cane (with or without space) is a plant; should they all (except >>480463, >>1297710, and >>273980 which really show the plant) get tagged candy cane and sugar cane/sugarcane removed?

Definitely not “ear frogs”. I get it looks a bit like the hoofbutt “fRoG” that for some godforsaken reason became a standard in pony art, but naming a syle of ear after a misinterpretation of a body part that has nothing to do with ears.

I like “fleshy ears” but I anticipate confusion when someone inevitably finds pieces where it’s done more realistically and actually looks like profuse ear floof, which it’s supposed to depict AFAIK.

@TexasUberAlles
I’m gonna suggest… ear cleavage.

Is there a tag for a coloration pattern divided between left and right sides of the body? Or, is there even a name for it - all I could find on the internet was “chimera cat” which is quite a bit too specific? >>3019894 was uploaded with the tag “split fur” but it’s the first and only use of that tag.

Why glowing hair implies glowing, but glowing mane does not?

Is glowing mane count as glowing hair as well?

There is a lot of tags that have “x hair” variant for humans and “x mane”/“x tail” variants for ponies.
