The tag alias #72636 anon_filly -> filly_anon is pending approval.

Reason: They're the same

I'm... not really sure what this tag is. Is it a fan character with that name? Is it "anon but a pony"?

looks like originally it was a pony based on the old like 4 chan anon which is just the green guy with the question mark, but it's also got some random ponies in there it seems.

I believe it's is generally accepted that it's a single character with about as much of a canon that the collective headcannoning of random internet users could allow; a male human anon that got either isekaied or TGTFed and age regressed into a young female pony.

at the very least the design of the character is consistent enough to get a character tag. and we do tag anon as a character already, so...

filly_anon seems like a distinct fan_character with definitive traits:

• black_hair
• green_body
• green_eyes
• female
• question_mark cutie_mark

These are all of the posts that are tagged as either filly_anon or anon_filly that are not 4chan Anon as a filly (arranged chronologically).

All of which are uploaded by Furufoo by the looks of things. Seems like the brown pony and the bee pony are the same character but transformed (based on descriptions). The other one is specifically tagged as changeling_anon_filly. They both look distinct and consistent enough on all depictions of them that would make them distinct characters and not just generic anon characters.

Perhaps relabelling Furufoo's posts regarding these characters as either of the following tags would be more appropriate, depending on the circumstance/situation at hand:

• nameless_character - A character that has yet to be given an official name.
• anonymous_character - The character's owner doesn't wish for their character's name to be publicly known.
• unknown_character - The uploader doesn't know the character's name. This tag is more of a placeholder until the name is found.
• The characters' actual names - If they have one and the respective owners are okay with disclosing them. If so then new character tags would have to be created for them.

Why were these tagged as filly_anon / anon_filly / changeling_anon_filly to begin with anyway? A clearer picture of the situation would help aid us in finding the right course of action.

these were tagged filly_anon at the source. but that being said, I'm really not seeing the resemblance between this design and the normal pony design. aside from the character having a totally different color scheme (which isn't too abnormal when a character gets alt-spec'd) the other design characteristics, like Filly Anon's normally kinda puffy messy hair and tail are totally different on this character, make me think this isn't supposed to be the same character.

Tagging history tells all, but I saw the existing changeling_anon_filly tag, and added it to the others with changeling form. I was taking the existing tag as valid on good faith, because nuking ain't cool.

It probably makes sense to ask Furufoo to add a different character tag, or something to distinguish these from the more consistent design. If it was an artist's own OC, with design change, it seems the practice is to name them with a suffix. I'm not sure what is normally done in this case where lore and TWYS conflict on a communal/public(right?) character.

Tagged filly_anon -green_fur -changeling with green fur on the obvious ones, and the remaining results are short. I went through them all, and with exception of post #2897336, they seemed correct.

Kolbold Anon is cute, haha. post #2906643
Oh, it's not a scalie version of her. You can actually see Filly Anon if you zoom in on the 2nd panel. It seems that the tag is cleaned since that was the last one to check.

looking elsewhere, Changling Filly Anon appears to be OC (potentially sona) of artist VikriViri/Impamy, who has drawn vanilla Filly Anon (or almost-vanilla, because this one's a unicorn), this depiction does look _a bit_ more like the changeling design, I guess, but I'm not sure... the presence of notable features like the pseudo-heart_ahoge on Changling Filly Anon, something that filly_anon does not have at all, really makes this seem like a seperate character.

You got it right, the Changeling Anon Filly is a creation by my girlfriend, Impamy. It is specifically her interpretation of Filly Anon that got turned into a changeling. The mane and tail is kept in browd strokes with a few additional details like the heart ahoge u mentioned. I'll admit that it would probably be prudent to tag my drawings containing changeling filly anon as that, and not the broader Filly_anon tag

You can also have them tagged like filly_anon_(vikriviri).

Added a stub pointing to here. Not sure how to word that entry.
