How do I tag this?

What kind of animal is that? (otter? beaver? muskrat?)
Also, what kind of instrument is that?

Tagged it with Otter, since the Pixiv post had the Otter tag, and people were referencing Otters in the Pixiv comments too.

I also asked the author which instrument it was, and he replied and said it was somewhat modeled after a Vietnamese instrument called a "Dan Sen". And upon Googling it I found this page, which if you scroll down, shows one that looks almost exactly like the one in the artist's illustration.

He also explained that real Dan Sens only have 2 strings, but the one in his illustration happened to have 3. So there's that to keep in mind.

EDIT:

Forgot to mention that "Dan Sen" isn't just the Japanese name, but it also seems to be the name for it in Vietnamese too.

See the Wikipedia article here.

What exactly is the top she's wearing here? I've always been confused whenever it comes down to tagging girls who wear an article of clothing like this.

And another thing I was wondering about was what do you label Prinz Eugen (Azur Lane)'s top clothing as whenever she's drawn in her default outfit? Going to cite the official art for a "source" in this instance

Is it a dress or a jacket?

W, according to it's wiki other wikis, is for Vs with the thumb out. After searching some more I found middle W, which is three fingers without the thumb.

That answers my initial question, but I'm still curious about the potential gesture for four fingers without the thumb.

edit: w's actual wiki is outdated. v's more recent wiki makes the distinction. updating it to reflect that and the tags current content.

No, w is for any pose with three fingers extended. The v wiki is just giving an example that is commonly confused with v. Indeed, lower down the v wiki in the see also section, the actual usage of the w tag is given:

W (three-fingered gestures, including V with the thumb out)

I've changed the wikis back to the correct definitions.

What other gestures? I can't see anything else under the tag other than V + a thumb. With middle w covering the only other similar gesture, the broadness of the wiki doesn't seem to help much.

edit: looking through the tag again, if there are other gestures that fall under this, v + thumb is so prevalent as to make the tag useless for finding anything else. if we're really pretending it isn't this one, it should get it's own tag to make w of any use for anything else.

There has got to be a specific tag for that hair circlet thingy worn by monkey girls like in post #3107179, post #2236620, post #2474426, and post #3210291, but I don't know what it's called, only that it seems to be a homage to (some popular depiction of?) Sun Wukong from Journey to the West

It's 金箍圈, technically a slave restrain thing.

It's usually portrayed as a circlet or headband and Tang Sanzang rarely use its function (iirc one or two arcs at best) so basically it's just a type of head ornament/decoration/accessory. Why not just using those tags (with sun_wukong_(cosplay))?
