What does the show call her?
In dialog, “Posey”. But that’s not conclusive; they also say only ‘Pipp”, “Zipp”, and “Sunny”.
In the credits, she’d have to be “Random Pony”.

I miss the show so much
Any progress or further thoughts on the “ship:” namespace/prefix?
I almost changed “sugarre” to “sugar” in >>2846718 because I thought it was misspelled. This would not have happened if it was prefixed (“ship:sugarre”).

I think the main sticking point is convincing a mod to spend 50 hours doing nothing but aliasing ship names.
It probably could be done programmatically from a list of tags that imply shipping, but it would take admin intervention.

:d is supposed to be an open smile with a mouth shaped more or less like a D.
d: is supposed to be a dismayed open mouth frown with a mouth shaped more or less like a D, but the other way around.

never big enough
Basically, the booru automatically rendering tags in all-lowercase makes certain emoticons less clear than they should be.
:d should be :D
d: should be D:
(On a related note :t makes more sense when you remember it’s supposed to be :T)
I’m not sure what the difference between “:D” and “open smile” is supposed to be.
Perhaps “open frown” should be an alias for “D:”?
Background Pony #52BA
I have a question, but what’s the difference between :d and open smile?
Resemblance to the :D smiley, which involves shape of the mouth and how widely open it is. Of course, because tags are case-insensitive/always shown lowercase, the direct symbolism gets lost, and “how close is close enough” is subjective…
IMO:




Also, should d: be used as the opposite of the above? And should it imply frown?
In the sense that it’s another common cartoon expression for a mouth that’s straight on the bottom and curved down on top like a D: smiley, yes. That mouth shape can be used on expressions that I wouldn’t call a frown, like surprise or worry.
(On a related note :t makes more sense when you remember it’s supposed to be :T)
As demonstrated by your avatar :D
Background Pony #7C7A
Is there any difference between reaching and reaching out?
If there is no difference, these should be aliased. Otherwise these tags need descriptions explaining the difference.

I have another problem which could use a native speaker of English: bindle, knapsack, napsack. They seem to refer to the same thing: a bundle/sack on a stick. There might be more tags for this item, but my English skills limit my ability to find them. Again, please either alias or describe.

A bindle is very specifically a cloth bundle of possessions tied to the end of a stick, stereotypically used by poor or homeless travelers on foot.
knapsack is just a regional synonym for backpack with no special meaning. It is definitely not a bindle.
Napsack is a misspelling of knapsack, but it’s also a trademark for a brand name of wearable sleeping bag but highly unlikely to be a real intended use here.

I didn’t know where to put this so,,,
Hi! I’m Moodi! I recently left my old account and made this new account so I can have more organization with my new art style… I’ve made three art pieces so far but I still can’t add my artist tag! It says the tag does not exist when clearly, it does. Could you maybe message me and help me, somecreature?
