Tag Suggestion: kirisame_marisa_(doll)

Alice Margatroid making dolls inspired by her friends and acquaintances, and herself, appears to be a well-established Touhou fanon meme.

The idea is occasionally taken to great lengths (see post #541280), but usually it is only one, two, or maybe a handful of different dolls. As far as I can tell, Alice most often makes Kirisame Marisa dolls, giving an introverted person's expression to her feelings of friendship or love.

Examples:

• post #570617 -- This is how it looks like!
• post #637855 -- A more huggable design for ronery moments.
• post #250431 -- Sometimes paired with an Alice doll.
• post #677928 -- Yes, it does mean a lot to her.
• post #575071 -- "Total backfire... or just as planned?"
• post #678531 -- Does Patchouli want one, too?
• post #522541 -- More than you would ever imagine!
• post #559906 -- "Big sis! Get me a Marisa doll or I will break everything!"

I believe these illustrations deserve a kirisame_marisa_(doll) tag. Any objections, or ideas for combining existing tags to avoid introducing a new one?

Kirisame_Marisa + [doll]] should you majority of what you looking for within your tag suggestion. -Shanghai or Hourai can be used to narrow it down a bit more.

The two searches I did to pick the examples were kirisame_marisa doll -shanghai and kirisame_marisa doll lonely.

Generally good, but useless for finding pictures like post #615402. I could swear I have seen more of them than turn up among the results of kirisame_marisa doll shanghai hourai.

How about a more general tag, i.e. character_doll? Surely characters other than Marisa are subjected to this treatment.

Not a bad idea. (Pondering...) Might be better than my proposal.

Basically we are approaching the same problem, tracking down posts with character dolls, from different angles. Katz: "Let us tag at least the most common case and live with the troubles involved with the rest." Glasnost: "Let us find a universal solution and live with the troubles caused by its ambiguities."

+1 for character_doll tag or something similar like doll_form.

Agreeing with Glasnost, character_doll would be more beneficial towards Danbooru then what's being suggested. Touhou isn't the only series where a doll of a character(s) would appear in artworks.

Bump.

So far, three votes for character_doll (or something similar), one abstention.

I am going to create a wiki page for character_doll as soon as I have a lazy moment for that, and start tagging.

If you want to affect the procedure, now is the time.

Yeah character doll seems like the best route. Go for it.

With a more generic tag like character doll you'll most likely find what your looking for and other users will be able find a similar case with a different character. Sounds good if you ask me.

Whoops...Sorry for the double post.

Do you want to roll up all objectifications of a character? (as in those found in cellphone strap)

I was thinking of doll only, as vaguely defined as it may be.

I think cellphone strap dolls should be included. People who search for hirasawa_yui character_doll would probably want to see stuff like post #678221 in the results.

If it is a doll, then it belongs under doll.

I think I have never seen cellphone strap dolls IRL (or not paid attention to them), so I thought it was a plastic mini figure. Do plastic mini figures, such as good ol' Star Wars toys, qualify as dolls in English?

Bump.

Implication request: character_doll → doll.

I have created the wiki page (character_doll) and joined Jjj14 in tagging. Some helpful searches to go through with care, if somebody wishes to contribute:

• alice_margatroid doll -shanghai_doll -character_doll
• flandre_scarlet doll -shanghai_doll -character_doll
• kirisame_marisa doll -shanghai_doll -character_doll
• patchouli_knowledge doll -shanghai_doll -character_doll

Any suggestions where outside touhou we could find more than sporadic character dolls?

EDIT (28th May 2012): updated shanghai → shanghai_doll.

I'm going through doll cameo, doll hug, doll solo chartags:2, and doll vocaloid.

vocaloid I'd imagine has a few.

Done.
