How do I tag this?

Posted under Tags

Thanks. I will clean up the crown braid tag now.

Aren't those french braids?

It look more like a basic side braid that get pulling back (the hair area around the braid lying straight) than a french braids (hair around the braid should have a special texture because the hair keep getting add up as it's braided).

However, all french braid posts on this site are just small braid wrap around head so i will follow that.

No, they're simple three-strand braids. French braids incorporate more layers of hair with each twist, resulting in something that looks like this.

I don't blame you for assuming otherwise, though, since french_braid is one of the most absurdly misused tags on Danbooru, to the extent that it was easier to find an off-site example than find a post here that actually looks like a true French braid. We should probably just rename the tag, since it's consistently used for something entirely different from what the term actually means.

Actually, how can you tell whether or not the hair uses three strands instead of two? Anime hair is drawn in a way that the single strands aren't really visible unless it's really carefully drawn which almost never happens.
In the image that yelite asked about it looks like three strands are actually used there.

I'm assuming three because that's the basic braid every girl learns before anything else. Two strands is more of a twist than a braid, and it usually requires that you pin it in place to keep it from untwisting itself.

And yeah, artists rarely put enough detail into a braid to really tell the how the individual strands are woven together. I doubt that most of them have ever even seen a real French or Dutch braid.

I don’t think we have a tag for that.

References to specific poses, like Billy's Bohemian Rhapsody pose? Or is that reserved for more widely used, memetic poses?

If a meme has its own tag, use that (and only that). If it doesn’t have its own tag, tag wherever it’s from. In this case, it’s already tagged Queen (band) and We Will Rock You. That should be plenty.

Btw, please link to posts like so: post #3694636
