What about katniss? She was on fire but not burning

.... *hits with a wiffle bat*

what I'm saying is that furries are often on fire, but not feeling any burning effects, much like they have no bones because furry logic

Maybe they don't feel pain, but surely something would still be burning in order for fire to be there? I don't have a clue now.

Furry science is weird.

I suppose that's a valid point.
The flames tag is often used for these types of images:

Creatures that are on fire, but not burnt by it. So yeah, I think that on_fire doesn't always equal burning.

Though 'flames' seems a bit generic. Maybe we should have a more specific tag for creatures that emit fire.

On_fire should be used if they are on fire. Period. If there are flames in the image, they should be tagged as well- so on_fire should imply flames. Even if something is on fire and is not getting consumed by the fire, they are still burning; The act of being on fire indicates that something is sustaining the combustion, be it mystic power or some other factor.

Implicating on_fire to both flames and burning seems redundant. I'd rather we'd use burning only for images where something (or someone) is being visibly consumed by fire, not just on fire. I'm sure there are users who'd want to blacklist that.

flames should implicate burning. on_fire should implicate flames. If you want something about people being consumed by fire, consumed_by_fire seems reasonable enough.

I have no idea what to think anymore but there's so many tags which mean almost the same thing it's just confusing:

flames
flaming burning/on fire?
fire I guess flames can easily be aliased to fire like flame has
fires unnecessary plural of fire?
burnt seems to be used for the aftermath of burning, but underused
burned (near unused)
burning
on_fire
burn a mix of people on fire or scalding themselves on hot things
burns not sure of the point of this tag
fireball
bonfire
blue_fire fire, which is blue. probably an easy implication here
green_fire as above

Then there's fire_hair and flaming_hair which mean the same thing, used for when a character's hair is made of fire. Then there's a flaming_tail.

...
I knew there were some redundancy, but that's ridiculous. We definitely should combine/implicate most of those. Starting with fire/fires.
Thanks for looking them up.

Yeah. There's still more, I got tired of searching.

Well let's take a look and make a standard shall we?

Okay, let's see... Here's some suggested cleanup to begin with:
- Since flame is already aliased to fire, we should also alias flames to it.
- Implicate fire_breathing, blue_fire, green_fire and such to fire.

Since burned had only two images, I moved those under burnt.

See my above post for recommended implications.
