Haiyore! Nyaruko-san character tagging

Posted under General

I noticed that the lead female character for this series is tagged both nyaruko and nyarlathotep, and I was thinking we should standardize it on her full name, going with nyarlathotep_(nyaruko-san) while nyarlathotep should be used for Lovecraft references not related to this particular series.

I decided to tag red twintails in post #904284 as cthugha_(nyaruko-san) (full name, when her nickname would be "kuuko" instead)

Shouldn't it be "Nyarlko-san"?

It's officially "Nyaruko". Given it's a katakana/kanji combination and a nickname, I'd lean towards it even if we didn't take the official name into consideration.

Well, it's the same thing for both Nyarlathotep and Hastur. They're both the name of characters (nicknamed "Nyaruko" and "Hasuta") and the name of races in-series. I think we should just default to the character in this case. Other characters of the same race (which are rare in images anyway) will have their particular name so it's not a big deal in my mind.
