#limbs counted

i count limbs!

Limb Definition

for this blog my definition of limb is going to be very loose, cuz its more fun that way. (thats the point of gimmick blogs, right?) anyway my general definition is:

"an arm, leg, or other part of an animal, bug, or other creature typically typically used for locomotion or manipulation of objects"

so that means im counting: the arms and legs of pretty much all animals, most fish and aquatic mammal fins, bird (not bug) wings, cellular pseudopods, perhaps some tails (for example: the prehensile tails of spider monkeys, seahorses, and possums), and pretty much anything i find to be funny or just fits the vibe

truthfully its really just up to my discretion/ how i feel when i make the post, but I'll try my best to be consistent.

next, if you disagree with my definition/count, think i made a mistake, or just want to ask me something/send in a post, feel free! my asks, DMs, and RBs are —and will probably continue to be— open!

Colors

you also may have noticed that i highlighted some of the words, thats because i decided that for funzies, different types of limbs will have different colors, they are as listed:

• arms- red ♥️

• legs- orange 🧡

• fins- blue 💙

• wings- pink 🩷

• tails- green 💚

• other- purple 💜

and finally..

The Tagging System

#limbs counted

^ (standard post, i count the limbs, nothing special)

#arms / #legs / #fins / #wings / #tails

^ (if the post contains the given tag, for example, a post just tagged "#arms" will at only contain arms, and a post tagged "#arms", "#legs", and "#tail" will contain only arms legs and tails.)

#arm / #leg / #fin / #wing / #tail

^ (if the post only contains 1 arm/leg/fin/wing/tail. these tags are added in addition to the first set, for searching purposes)

#[x]s and [y]s / #[x]s [y]s and [z]s

^ (just a little thing for more specific searching, to take the example from one of the first explanations, the post containing exclusively arms, legs, and tails, would also have the tag "#arms legs and tails". these will always use the plural version, include other limbs, and go in the order previously shown)

#other & #[insert other limb here]

^ (this is a post that contains any limbs other than the main 5, further, the second tag is just to show what if there is some other limb, i will tag it, for example i'd tag "#pseudopods". its also worth noting the previous pluralization rules do not apply the tags of other limbs, they are all tagged exclusively plural)

#humor tag

^ (in addition to the other tag, its supposed to be humor, not serious, e.g. if the post counts #table legs)

#table legs / #chair arms / #tree limbs / ect.

^ (it contains the tag, lol. what im gonna note is that i would also tag the standard limb tag with things like these, for example a post tagged "#table legs" would also be tagged "#legs".)

#"limbs" counted

^ (counting the number of times the word limb was used, please note the quotation marks)

#[number] limbs / #no limbs / #>[10, 20, 50, 100, 200, ect.] limbs

^ (the post contains the tagged amount of limbs, for example 4 total for "#4 limbs", but if theres 0 total, i use "#no limbs". or if they have a >, they have more than that number)

#limbs not counted

^ (for whatever reason, i don't count limbs in the post)

#limb ask / #non-limb ask / #definition ask / #correction ask / #question ask / #request ask / #anon ask / #ask

^ (i hope its clear what all of these mean, cause im not explaining all of them. the most important ones are: "#limb/non-limb ask", which is whether the ask is related to limbs or not, and "#ask" which i will just categorize all my asks under.)

#non-limb post / #mod post

^ (the post is not related to limbs, nor their counting)

⚠️Trigger/Content Warning Tags⚠️

to explain, i plan on tagging warnings as they come up, but here's the ones i think i might reblog.

please note: for all of these i will tag with both the "#tw:" and "#cw:" versions, and assume them before each topic

body horror, horror, many limbs, bugs, insects, and spiders

if there are any requests/suggestions for what to warning tag, please tell me, i want my blog to be welcome to all users!

furthermore if i have to add any trigger/content warnings i will add the "#⚠️" tag, if you just wanna block all of them

END

i'll tag this post with most of the tags shown here, so theyre easier to search. thanks for taking the time to read this! hope you enjoy the rest of your day!! and like. you can check out my main maybe. id youd like. check out #my art perhaps.. just a thought
