Help with tags that convey mischief

Posted under General

Alright. To start-off, here's an example: post #533622.

How would I go about properly tagging the person on the right?

Two tags I could use come to mind: naughty_face and naughty_smile. But I don't think either would really work too well.

The 'naughty_face' tag, from what I've seen, is almost always used in a romatic/sexual scenario, or in an inviting manner. So it doesn't look like that would really work.

And the 'naughty_smile' tag, in my opinion, seems it would sort of work... but I'm not really sure. But again, it seems to be mostly used in some kind of romatic or inviting manner.

It just doesn't feel like there's any tag out there to singularily describe "I'm going to do something to you against your will, and you're not gonna like it"; it just feels like some kind of tag is missing. (Maybe something like a "michief_face" tag should be added?)

I hope you understand what I'm getting at here.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

@parasol: Aha, the grin tag'll probably work just fine. Thanks.

But once again, it still feels like there isn't a tag that could perfectly sum up that expression. While evil_grin works, it doesn't feel like it suits the context. But oh well, good enough.

@7HS: I did a tag search on the "darume" tag, and none seem to exist.

But on that note; how would I tag the facial expression of the person on the left?

Tanké.

Yes, that's why it was a suggestion, if anyone other than me thinks the shape of the eyes is worth tagging separately from the expression.

Ah, I see; I never heard of the term, and assumed it existed or something.

Though, it looks like eyebrow-related tags really exist on Danyboo. Save "raised_eyebrow", "thick_eyebrows", and just plain "eyebrows" (which denotes that one's brow is notable in some way), which seem appropriate.

Tagging eyebrows past those select few would probably be overkill, methinks. Unless you meant you wanted to use that term to describe the expression instead.

But still, I'm not quite sure how to tag the expression on the left. Hmmm...

Sorry, by eyebrow I meant the top of the eye rather. I guess I mixed it up with eyelash.

For the expression on the left I'd have said pout, but currently that seems to be in use specifically for T-shaped mouths.
