Character Making A Dash For The Restroom While Clutching Her Churning Stomach
Character Making A Dash For The Restroom While Clutching Their Churning Stomach

Why are you planning on keeping the "her" version and not the more neutral one?

[hurtcomfortexmod]

Because I put the tags around the wrong one and didn't catch it. Thank you!

I don't think 'Suicidal A fails to sacrifice self for greater good; B notices' is a good representation of any of the tags it's trying to represent! Perhaps 'Character fails to sacrifice self for greater good & it turns out they wanted to die' is the better choice to represent this. In my view, the revelation after the fact that the character is suicidal seems important.

For the version unconnected with sacrificing themselves for the greater good, perhaps 'Character resigned to their death survives; doesn't know how to cope & other character comforts' would be a good compromise? I don't think 'A Expected to Die, Survives; B helps to comfort them' quite gets across the hopelessness and sense of being lost that the other tags for this scenario do.

There's a thought-provoking comment from an anon about this on the previous post, as well.

For the tags "Injured/sick in the wilderness" / "Lost in wilderness while sick/injured", would it be possible to keep the more general one instead? I don't want the characters I was hoping to request this tag for (Lord of the Rings rangers) to be lost necessarily; I'm more interested in the issue of having to be self-sufficient in dealing with the injury because they're so far from anyone else who could assist. The fact that they know exactly where they are doesn't help much when where they are is the middle of nowhere.

[hurtcomfortexmod]

Maybe it could be both

"Injured/sick in the wilderness"
and
"Injured/sick and lost in the wilderness" to make it clearer that lost is an additional complication?

[lirin_lirilla]

That sounds good as far as I'm concerned.

Can "Character isn't used to being loved and shown tenderness/affection" be left separate from "Unexpected Tenderness"? That one doesn't read as unexpected tenderness since the tenderness can be very expected and just not something the character is used to (yet). Eg: Isolated character is now in a very loving group and tenderness is totally expected from that group, but it's not something character is used to due to their past.

(I'm less attached to this one, especially if no one else objects, but "Character is surprised/disbelieving at being shown kindness" also seems like it doesn't fit into "unexpected tenderness", since kindness doesn't have to be tender. Eg: Assumed enemy tossing medical supplies at the character instead of murdering them)

I'd prefer "Injured/sick in the wilderness" instead of the other version. I was going to request this tag, but adding lost changes it to a scenario I don't want.

Thanks!

Whoops, just saw you dealt with the wilderness one in another comment! Just ignore that one. I would still appreciate it if you reconsidered the "Unexpected Tenderness" one though <3

Ditto on "Character isn't used to being loved and shown tenderness/affection". I was one of the people who nominated that, and this proposed change wouldn't work for me at all.

[rachelmanija]

I agree, the two "tenderness" tags are completely different.

[sheliak]

For the last pair, would it be possible to keep the first tag as well? It's a bit more specific, and the rescuee being a stranger seems important to me.

[hurtcomfortexmod]

How about it gets edited to "Character abandons plans in order to rescue stranger who is suffering" and they both get in?

[sheliak]

That'd be great!

I'm glad that "A fails to sacrifice self for greater good; LI becomes conscious of A’s broken/suicidal state" is being kept in.

The rest of the kept/cut tags seem good to me, but none of them are mine.

Hello mods, I'm kicking myself for not realizing this first, but when I checked the tagset I mis-saw a tag as the opposite character hurt instead of the one I meant to request. Is there any chance to add one ship tag? The fandom is 镇魂 | Guardian (TV) and the tag I'd like to request is Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng (GCC hurt). I understand if it's too late, but if it's still possible, I'd be really grateful to you!

[hurtcomfortexmod]

Sure thing. We can still add tags at this point without causing any problems to ao3, it's just that as soon as possible is best because people signing up and offering/requesting before it's in the tagset won't see it then. Because of this it could make matching on it more difficult, and because of this we wouldn't want to add entire signups worth of nominations late! But one this early in the signup is fine.
