The come hither tag

Posted under Tags

Come hither seems to be a flirtatious, more openly sexual variant of beckoning. It invites the recipient to have some fun without the bluntness of presenting. I feel that there may be room for it as a tag if we carefully delineate the differences between it and the other tags, since they clearly describe different moods: post #383105 is worlds apart from post #2305120 which itself is nowhere near as direct as post #1419069. These are extreme examples, but they illustrate the need for some degree of granularity in how we tag characters' attitudes and body language.

As for seductive smile, I have no idea what this means. It has considerable overlap with naughty face (unsurprising, since its definition is basically "naughty_face, but less so"), and it often gets used for expressions that aren't really smiles at all (e.g., post #2830330), which is annoying since it implicates smile.
