So e621 wiki for leaning says "Leaning is the action of supporting some of a character's body weight onto another object or character and partially removing some of their weight off of their feet. A character who is leaning will appear at a slant against something, compared to a character who is standing.
A leaning character must lean against something. If not, they are bent_over or bent_back."
Except dictionary.com has some definition of leaning that don't involve leaning against something.
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/leaning
" 1.
to incline or bend from a vertical position:"
"2.
to incline, as in a particular direction; slant:
The post leans to the left."
" 6.
to incline or bend:
He leaned his head forward."
bent_over says "When a character is leaning over at a right angle with their back bent and legs straight..." and
" Not to be confused with: ...
leaning_forward - when a character is leaning forward, but not as far as a right angle"
So the difference between leaning and bending
a) according to leaning, the difference is leaning on object or other character
b) but according to bent_over, apparently the difference is the amount of angle.
Some uploads tagged with leaning don't show a surface being leaned against.
In those cases is bend_forward or bend_back really the correct tag?
1) change to bend_back?

2) change to bend_forward?

2) What about this panther isn't standing? Change to reclining ? (wandered across forum #145075 )
