While I agree with Pup’s stance that characters being merely pictured or cosplayed as should not be tagged the same (e.g. this image should not just be tagged “Toothless”), I think it should be possible to search for some of it somehow in connection with HTTYD, so here’s my idea:
We split this stuff in a parallel tag. So there’s, say, a “digimon” tag and a separate “digimon fandom” tag. Anything indirect is tagged as, say “Miles prowers body pillow”, “kumamon cosplay”, “Toothless hoodie”, “101 dalmatians shirt” etc. and all of these feeds into the relevant parallel copyright tags (or possibly even a separate tag category, depending on what Pup decides).
So if you search for just “toothless”, you find only pics with the character toothless present and posing/interacting. But “toothless*” would find “secondary” presences, like someone drawing an image of toothless, wearing a cosplay of him, a poster of him of the wall etc.
This is a proposal, but I think it’s worth considering while we still have a relatively restrained amount of content.

Default search
If you do not specify a field to search over, the search engine will search for posts with a body that is similar to the query's word stems. For example, posts containing the words winged humanization, wings, and spread wings would all be found by a search for wing, but sewing would not be.
