tail coil

post #2597879 post #4547946 post #2883744 post #4122968

This tag is used for when a character wraps their tail around a character, or part of a character, or when a tail is used to grip another in some way. This is often done in a romantic context as a sign of affection, but it can also be done with intent to restrain or subdue. Generally applies to bipedal or quadrupedal subjects whose tail can be easily distinguished from the rest of their body, whereas the broader 'coiling' is used in reference to legless characters such as serpents. If a character's tail is specifically wrapped around another character's tail, then also use entwined_tails.

Not dependent on but has synergy with tail_play and tailjob.

Usually paired with long_tail and prehensile_tail.

Not to be confused with:

tail_hug, which is used if a character is hugging a tail (not vice versa) (though, both can be applied at once).
tail_wraps, which describes when strips of cloth are wrapped around a character's tail
