Proposed tag: mutsu_(snail)

Posted under General

There seems to be a pervasive meme on Pixiv for rendering Mutsu from Kantai Collection as a slug or snail. The Pixiv tag for it is り陸奥たか or "rimutsutaka", which is "katatsumuri" (snail) written backward.

I think the concept makes a good tag - what I'm not sure about is the tag name we should use. "Rimutsutaka" is a possibility, but it's not obvious to English speakers what it's meant to be (though "gomadoka" seems to have worked out okay). I'm leaning toward mutsu_(snail) or mutsu_(kantai_collection)_(snail), in analogy with some of the other pervasive animalization memes like aki_shizuha_(crab). Thoughts?

Also, should it be a character tag like gomadoka, or a regular tag like aki_shizuha_(crab)?

I don't think the kantai collection modifier is necessary here. Mutsu, on its own, is vague enough that it could apply to multiple media, especially since the name comes from an actual ship.

Snail Mutsu, however, is a specific meme involving that character, so all it needs is (snail).

Its going to be tagged with her name anyways, so I think just having snail will be specific enough
