Tagging Policy On Pairing Names
First thing that has amused me on this booru is that lots of pairngs have got their own name - witty, punny or otherwise higly descriptive.

But now I have a question.
Some of them (e.g. coolkids) have... not so shippy name, let's say that way. My point is, I have no problem to imagine post containing Terezi and Dave just being cool without any romantic bonds. Just for instance, post #91296.

So my question is should I tag it 'coolkids' because I can clearly see here Dave and Terezi (the cool kids of Homestuck) being together and looking cool?

Or I should disregard any meaning of this name and just use it like "witty_name_for_dave_and_terezi_in_some_sort_of_romance"?

The pairing titles are reserved for shippy pictures only. A person may want to search for Dave and Terezi images with them as just friends and not lovers(or any other romantic quadrant) or would want to blacklist any images of them that are romantic.

Okay. I've got it. Therefore if I see DaveXTerezi with romance but without 'coolkids' tag, I can freely add it.

So, one questions more.
Is "team_charge" also reserved for shipping only and cannot be used for Tavros and Aradia just as FLARP partners?

I think so! It does get tough navigating some of those. "scourge_sisters" for Terezi and Vriska is the same.

But there's a "flarp" tag, isn't there? Upon checking, I see that yes, there is. So if you wanted to find, upload, or tag images of Aradia and Tavros engaging in hot platonic FLARP action, the combination "aradia tavros flarp" would work. I agree it's a little roundabout, though.

Team_Charge and Scourge_Sisters aren't reserved for shipping only. Those tags apply to any images of those pairs whether they are being shipped or not.

Oh, that's cool, I wish I'd known that sooner.

Meowrails also fits that catagory due to the fact that anyone with a brain loves seeing Equius and Nepeta together no matter what.

Oh. One more question.
Why DirkXRoxy is called 'neorails'?

I came up with the name on the old board, pointing out that they mirrored the Nepeta/Equius dynamic in some way.

Oh, that's nice! Now it's certain.
Thank you.
