Everyone seems to prefer reboogles over likes, and I'm too deep in this fandom not to give them anymore. (Also, I can't sort my likes by tags to find squat.) So here I'll list what my tags will be so if I or anyone else is in a mood for a particular character or aesthetic, all I gotta do is click a tag.
As 99% of what will be reblogged is art, it will not have its own tag. Written works will be tagged as #written works. Written works I have written will be tagged #panda writes, those written by others will be tagged #others writings.
Works with detailed backgrounds will be tagged #scenery.
If the art depicts food, whether preparing or enjoying it, there will be the tag #food. Tea times, picnic excursions, and meals fall under this category.
If a pet animal (e.g. cats, dogs) or other fauna found in nature (e.g. birds, game) is in the work, the work will be tagged #animals. Works with pegasi, war horses, or wyverns will instead be tagged #noble steeds.
Fish, including those being fished, will be tagged under #animals unless it is specifically being prepared for a meal (then it would be tagged #food.)
Canon Timeline:
Works set before the events of White Clouds will be tagged #flashback.
Works set during White Clouds, including paralogues and scenes from support conversations, will be tagged #white clouds. Events in the Cindered Shadows DLC will also fall under this tag.
Works set depicting events during the time-skip will be tagged #during timeskip.
Works depicting specific canon events set after the time-skip, including paralogues and support conversations, will be tagged #timeskip. This can include events from the spin-off game Warriors: Three Hopes if it occurs there as well. (#hopes timeskip has been discontinued).
(WIP, discontinuation TBD) If a work is from a specific route, it will also be tagged by that route’s name (e.g. #crimson flower, #scarlet blaze, #cindered shadows?).
Works set after the events of games will be tagged #post canon.
Characters, supports, and events exclusive to the routes in the spin-off game Warriors: Three Hopes will be tagged #three hopes. On technicality, this includes Monica von Ochs.
(WIP) Similarly, anything associated with the mobile game Heroes (such as seasonal attire or holidays depicted in Heroes) or works including characters from other Fire Emblem games will be tagged #fe heroes (formerly #heroes).
Outfits:
For characters who wear more than one outfit throughout the course of the game's playable events, instead of being tagged as the time period they would be in wearing the outfit, they will be tagged as follows:
Academy Phase as #academy
Hopes Timeskip as #dropout
War Phase as #war paint
Any other attire used in game (whether dancer or other class outfit) or attire not clearly of that of an alternate universe will be tagged #battle gear (even if it's not actually battle gear).
(WIP) Works with characters donning the outfit or hairstyle of another character will be tagged #outfit swap. A character's hairstyle being a different era from that in their attire will also be tagged #outfit swap, as well as the outfit tag that matches their attire.
(Also, see last two bullet points under Canon Timeline.)
Alternate Universes:
Works depicting more than one Byleth and/or Shez (usually of different genders) interacting will be tagged #twinleth.
(WIP) Works involving some deviation from the Three Houses or Three Hopes canon will be tagged #canon divergent. If enough works fill this tag, there may also be sub-tags for how the canon diverges (e.g. #everyone lives for works involving a canonically deceased character living on or characters getting happier introductions or endings along when canonically they wouldn't, #original character for works including an OC).
Works set in alternate universes will be tagged #alternate universe, and also tagged as its specific AU. Some of these will fall under the Modern AU sub-category (see next bulletpoint). More AUs may be added with time. Ones currently being used include the following:
For works involving pirates and/or mermaids, #high seas au
For works depicting ballgowns and non-canon balls regardless of time period, #regency au
For works with a gothic theme or including mythical creatures like vampires and werewolves, #supernatural au
For works depicting Grimm's or Disney's version of class fairy tales and folk tales, #fairy tale au (may get renamed to #fantasy au?)
For works involving space fantasies, #futuristic au
(WIP squared) Works under #modern au may need to be redone. Works with one or more characters in musical groups fall under #pop idol au. Works in coffee shops, flower shops, or diners as #modern shop au? Modern high school, college or university settings under #modern school au?
Works including interactions with another franchise outside of Fire Emblem will be tagged #crossover. Some crossovers may be tagged as a specific alternative universe (e.g. #pokemon au).
Characters:
Individual characters will be tagged by their more commonly used name, or the name they go by as a playable character. (So the Death Knight goes by #jeritza, and Cichol will go by #seteth.)
With the exception of Yuri from the Ashen Wolves, the main three house lords will be tagged as #house lords, but not as their house faction, as listed below.
Non-avatar playable characters will also be tagged as the class or faction they are associated with (e.g. Hubert will also be tagged #black eagles, Cyril as #church of seiros).
Minor characters, mentioned by name or not, will be tagged once as #minor characters, then again as the country/area most closely associated with them (e.g. Tiana von Reigan would be tagged as #leicester; Glenn Govan Fraldarius as #faerghus; Shahid as #non-Fodlan; unnamed students, church worshipers, merchants, mercenaries, and knights as #garreg mach). Some of these may have names or titles and will go by one as well if there are enough posts about them (e.g. #gatekeeper).
If minor characters are interacting with a leading character who is related to them, the post will be tagged #family.
Avatars Byleth and Shez will have additional tags indicating the male or female version of their characters (e.g. #female byleth, #male shez), or someone’s take on a non-binary version (#enbyleth or #enby shez).
Small Groups:
Since posts have a maximum of thirty tags, if a work includes all eight students of a house, the work will be tagged #all eagle students, #all lion students, or #all deer students, and each individual character’s name will be omitted.
Depictions of smaller friend groups interacting (e.g. Adrestian Trio, Faerghus Four) will be tagged #group photo. If poly-relationships are depicted, the work will also be tagged #ships.
Ships are tricky...
Romantic works of popular pairings will be tagged #ships and their ship name. Byleth ships where either gender is popular in the ship, especially lord ships, will also have a [m or f] and a space preceding the ship name, (e.g. #f dimileth).
Less common romantic pairings will be tagged #rairpair. If there are more than five works of the pairing (romantic or platonic), it will also be given a "ship" name. It may be promoted to #ships if there are enough arts from more than two artists.
A platonic depiction of a pairing will be tagged #duos. If the work is ambiguous whether the pairing is romantic or platonic, it will be tagged as both #duos and [#ships or #rairpair].
Uncommon depictions of any two unrelated named characters platonically together will fall under #acquaintances instead of #duos.
Pairings with more than a few arts will be tagged as their "ship" name regardless of if the work depicts them platonically or romantically (especially if works portray at least one of each). (Some of my favorite ships (in no particular order) include #mercedue, #ferdithea, #netteflix, #sylgrid, #cyrithea, #hilclaude, and #hubernie.)
