Topic: Tag Alias: apprehensive -> scared

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Apprehensive (with it's 14 posts) seems to be used in a number of situations where "scared" seems like it would be misleading.

There are several that are more nervous or worried:

alpha_channel apprehensive assisted_exposure bdsm blue_body blue_skin blush digital_media_(artwork) duo equestria_girls equid equine exhibitionism female feral friendship_is_magic genitals grin hasbro hi_res horse human human_pet leash leash_pull mammal mouth_hold my_little_pony nipples pavement petplay plant pony pubes public public_nudity pussy rainbow_dash_(eg) rainbow_dash_(mlp) roleplay shrub sidewalk sky smile smudge_proof square_crossover

there are soem where there's little external stimulus:
4_toes 5_fingers anthro apprehensive arrow_(weapon) bow_(weapon) breasts casparr clothed clothing cougar digital_media_(artwork) digitigrade dusty_(baldrek) eyebrows eyelashes facial_markings feet felid feline female fingers fully_clothed fur hair head_markings holding_object holding_weapon humanoid_hands mammal markings pawpads paws ranged_weapon simple_background solo toes weapon

Apprehensive is probably unnnessicarily specific-- and something like nervous woudl suit it better.

if i search scared I expect to see fear, not "oh no, she's kissing me." unless she has a razor sharp beak. :P

though honestly scared seems pretty poorly tagged too

"A character or object (yeah, rocks get scared too) in fear of something or someone. A step up from nervous, but a step down from scared_shitless.

For other emotions, check tag_group:facial_expressions#emotions

You're right, it should be aliased to nervous instead. The definition google found tripped me up and I wasn't awake enough to figure it out.
Though I don't think I can make an alias to that effect until this one is deleted.
