#SaltMageLore (kinda)

3-4 for when she's wanting something sweet
2, maybe a couple notches towards 3 for a general cup
1 for when she's hungover and needs to get over it with haste

Time for a #wolqotd ☕

How does your OC like their coffee?

Several images of coffee, all with different levels of creamer added, changing the color

Literally, if you ever wanna see more evidence of how I work without using AI? Sift through literally any of my gposes, in the replies of any I edit, I always show the comparisons.

All done by me just using CSP and a bunch of free brushes I've collected and a lot of metaphorical elbow-grease.

This also applies to gposing in general btw, literally all it is is practice, practice, practice.

You don't need AI, you just need effort and patience.

As someone who edits prolifically, AI just isn't it. Literally, if you have a drawing program, never underestimate the "fuck around until something sticks" method cuz practice + time = results. I am literally a good example of this.

2022 vs 2025

If you can use reshade, you can edit.

Because I would like to (eventually) unlearn shame and actually post the more explicit NSFW stuff I make that doesn't see the light of day, I made a tag for them in the (eventual) case they do get posted.

Don't wanna see? Mute #ExtraSpicyMage (I couldn't think of a funnier tag that fit the theme)

♢ Curate your space, don't police mine.
♢ I generally try to avoid posting spoilers for FFXIV, but in the event I do, mute #xivspoilers
♢ Absolutely no f+, QoS, minors, AI/Pro-AI, etc.
♢ I block/mute liberally, (sometimes) it's not personal, I'm just curating my space

Like when I first saw it ngl I thought something on the outfit I was wearing was bugging until I looked up closer and literally yelled "MY ASS IS JIGGLING!"

If you ever wanna feel better about yourself, remember this:

I have 27 tattoos, 5 piercings, and I STILL get anxiety over getting shots at the doc's office to the point where I actually punctured the stress ball they gave me with my nails.

Have a laugh at my expense (the stress ball is okay btw)
