human, pony coloring

What should the tag go home you’re drunk be used for?

If that phrase is in the image, obviously.
I’d also say it applies if someone is committing an obvious gaffe or “fail”, or especially unwise behavior or poor decisions, due to being drunk. (Unfortunately, this is a subjective determination.)
IMO, it wouldn’t apply to pictures where someone’s drunk, unsteady or even passed out, if nothing else of note is going on.

@Background Pony #52BA
AFAIK it’s supposed to be for drunken shenanigans, goofs, and indignities. That is to say, whenever a character’s drunkenness is made visible beyond a flush and a few emanata: motor function (like stumbling or faltering, odd expressions), consciousness (drooping or being blacked out), apparent altered cognition (behaviour outside of social norms, exaggerated reactions and such)…

Anyone remember that episode involving pinkie pie cloning herself?

@TheGamerPainter
Yup. Why askin’?

@Panko Pai
Just saw a fan theory about how Twilight killed the original yesterday on YouTube.

@TheGamerPainter
Please keep general chatter out of the tagging forums.

Is this really a stock vector? It seems more likely it’s a raster image.

@Background Pony #0B1E
stock vector short description: “Vectors” often used by Hasbro in merchandise packaging

It doesn’t need to be a vector. Perhaps the tag should be called “Hasbro stock graphic” for clarity’s sake.

@saby
It should be stock image, yes.

The tag mlem is specifically for images with the onomatopoeia (like >>2730963), right? Because I’m seeing it used on a lot of images like >>2726831, and if that’s correct, it should probably be aliased to tongue out.

@Background Pony #0B1E
Not quite. As onomatopoeia, they always apply, but in theory, there’s a difference between mlem and blep. Blep is sticking the tongue out, while mlem is licking/pulling it back in. Both imply tongue out. This image explains it pretty well.

In practice, though, there’s a lot of mistagging and overlap.

@Yoshimon1
I wonder how still images would even begin to differentiate between the phases of a tongue outing.

And in any case, aside from the onomatopoeia, the distinction is too fine grain to ever matter. We should just have “blep (onomatopoeia)” and “mlem (onomatopoeia)” and “tongue out”.

@saby
Ehhh… I’d say there should still be a distinction between small blep/mlems mostly with the tip of the tongue and full tongue outs like
.
Not to mention the tons of nsfw “ahegao face with tongue lolling out on the side” images on the site.

I presume the reason I can’t seem to tag artist:urmomhasseenbetter is because usernames with phrases like that are filtered, and they’d need to pick a better username?

and

Edit many months later: In hindsight, I think I just didn’t press enter before clicking “save tags” :)

@Yoshimon1
Well yes, between tongue out cases “fully ejected” and “just the tip”, but I meant the distinction between “just the tip of the tongue, but going in” vs “going out”. i could have been clearer with how I put it.

Nope, the uploader just did not add any artist tag. As far as I can tell, “artist:urmomhasseenbetter” has never been used. misread your post

@𝗪𝖎𝖗𝖊𝖇𝖆𝖑𝖑
Auto-complete will only suggest a tag if it already exists on a certain number of pictures (I believe it’s 3). But you don’t need the auto-complete to add a tag. You can just type it out the whole way and add a comma at the end.

That said, if you have reason to believe the tag you’re adding is already widely used, then if it doesn’t show up in the auto-complete box, that could be a sign that the tag has a different name or you’re misspelling it.

So I saw saw Applejack and Pinkie’s “donuts” kissing…
Is there a anus touching/kissing tag?

@TheGamerPainter
“Ponuts kissing”.

Does this bellhop pony in the episode Rarity takes Manehattan have a name?

@TheGamerPainter
Welcome Inn.

Cyan-colored tags are name tags. The image you posted has two cyan tags and one of them is for Rarity, so the other has to be him.

@JP
What name is that?

@TheGamerPainter
Welcome Inn.

@Andyxdr
I’m saying who picked the name for the pony?
