I've just gotten back into gposing lately and always *love* how artistically you pose and capture your screenshots. I'm curious if you use a particular GShade/ReShade preset that is publicly available that you'd be willing to share? If it is one that you made/edited yourself, then wow! No pressure, of course - please don't feel like you need to share!

weaghhhh thank you nhaama 😭

I never make my own presets and I'll always be happy to share any resources that I can. Only [redacted]s gatekeep. I might have played around with values contained in said presets over time but at this point I've fucked with them so much it would be impossible to share that.

I'm just going to copy and paste from an ask I got a few months ago because nothing has changed haha:

Nearly all of my presets are from Elva. She's got one for every mood and I cannot recommend her enough because she's a cool person too. She also has readable previews and tests on other skin tones other than white paper lmao.

My personal favorites are her Twin(k) Peaks, Empathy, and Paradise sets. Still obsessed with the twink peaks one I use it every time.

I used to use some sims 4 presets by @/pictureamoebae here. Especially their money and milk preset. They make my pc chug a bit but they're unique in the way most FFXIV presets aren't.

Lastly, kyren and nyeps for their cinematic presets which I feel like are a staple-- but I'm including anyway in case people don't know them.

I should also say that I use martymods IMMERSE, RTGI and relight. I've used it for so long that I forgot to mention in my last ask. It doesn't come with reshade iirc but elva's presets have options for them.

I'm not the best with reshade issues but let me know if you need help!

@wind-up-nhaama, this place is so lovely! I nearly forgot to take pictures of my asshole miqo'te breaking into it I was so impressed by the awesome ceiling. <3

I like to imagine that mere seconds after the last picture her tail got too close to the fire and she got exactly what she deserved.

Hi there! I was curious if you used your own custom shaders or if you're using certain presets?

Your gposes are STUNNING and so inspiring! Serious goals!

Hiii. Thank you so much for the kind words ♡ That means a lot to me!!

I always use presets from other people. In my older photos, I used the Abyssal Melody pack by Neneko... But then I found out the creator is not someone I want to support, so I don't use those presets anymore.

I now use Elva's Baroque, especially Morgana and Requiem, as well as Glace's Melty Snow. Presently, I'm obsessed with Elva's new Dedicated to Moonlight pack. It just might replace Baroque as my default.

All that said, I do a lot of color correction and editing in photoshop. Sometimes the final picture looks nothing like the original "preset only" photo depending on how I'm feeling, or if I couldn't get the preset settings to work with me.

Hi hi! ^_^

Longtime lurker and big fan of your content! I wanted to ask if there was any possible chance that you're going to be at Rose City Comic Con in Portland?

Thank you for all of the lovely things you create!

Hello! Ahh thank you so much ;___; ! 

Nooo, I will not be there ;w; The only cons I have planned right now is New York Comic Con and Anime Los Angeles! I’ll be tabling at ALA but just attending NYCC !

I won't have time to do anything tomorrow, so here's an early valentine's gpose instead. Local god lays in bed using his beloved Exarch's lap as a pillow.

Whenever they stayed at the Pendants, Summer threw another new romance novel at Kona to read and review.

Not that she ever let him read without hovering over his shoulder to explain every plot point she'd put into her books.

(I will be returning to @wind-up-nhaama's Pendants suite again. And again. It's just so good.)

What are their favorite things to do together?

ship questions redux | accepting!

Love: #6 What are their favorite things to do together?

This is going to be a weak answer because I've never thought about it before LOL mostly because they're not the domestic type (well, he isn't) and unfortunately I don't think they spend a lot of quality time together simply for the enjoyment of it. I've had the headcanon that it's against their code for the Scions to have relations with one another because their mission is paramount and having relations could become a liability-- don't date your co-workers and all that. They're also all workaholics who can't be arsed to be tied down. Obviously Aenor and Ocher are bad at following this but, uh... maybe Y'shtola doesn't want to go near [waves hands vaguely] that. Anyway, if I had to think of something it would be the boring answer of sparring, or just enjoying the mundane since their lives are so insane and traumatic lol. Tsuna enjoys reading and textiles, though I think he finds it hard to keep still so he's never in the same place for long. Their interests don't really align but I could see them enjoying the intimacy of silence every once in awhile-- when he's not running his mouth, of course. There's definitely some time in-between shb and ew where they stop arguing as much and begin to invent reasons to steal away together though-- be it simply tea, breakfast or a little tête-à-tête.

Day 14 (Telling): To Make a Memory Last

   Chiteni sat quietly with the elderly roegadyn on the sand, his legs crossed and palms flat on the ground behind his back, propping him up as he reclined. The breeze over the sandy plain brought with it the smell of fire and ash as it wound on its way; tossing up twirling dust devils that joyously danced over the low dunes. The sun was sinking deep in the distance. Bright beams of orange and red light painted the great stone faces of Nhaama and Azim where they loom over the flatlands - ever watching their children. Their contours looked almost stern; cast in shadow beneath the setting sun as they were. 

   The roegadyn sighed, his mind clearly still not completely settled. Gosetsu was against many auri traditions that the party had met on the Steppe, but he was learning to try and be patient and understanding. At times we are telling our own stories. At times there are stories we must be told.

   “It's a beautiful evening,” he said at last, catching Chiteni off guard. 

   The miqo'te curled his violet tail around his side, staring up at the shreds of clouds drifting swiftly past them on the wind. “Why do you think so?” he asked, curious. 

   Gosetsu seemed taken aback. He opened his mouth and then closed it, his warm eyes wandering thoughtfully.

   Chiteni explained quickly, “I mean - we are watching over a dead man. It's just…the setting. So I was wondering what made you say that, you know?” He looked towards the fallen au ra a few yalms away. The dust had collected on some of the hollows and creases in his clothing as the land slowly and inevitably reclaimed him. 

   “There is something about this place. These people,” Gosetsu began, scratching the back of his head, “There is a poetry to it all. I know not why I believe it to be so, but…I am listening to the stories they tell and wondering if what sets us apart is so important.”

   “I'm unfamiliar with a lot of their traditions,” Chiteni admitted, looking down. “Things were so different back home but…moreso I was very young when I left. There isn't enough to remember.”

   “I am sorry to hear this,” Gosetsu said, his voice warm and sympathetic. “Perhaps we both have much to learn from the wind and the sun and the sand.”

   Chiteni leaned back, closing his eyes again. He curled his fingers, sand falling between them with a whisper. The wind carried the scent of pack beasts as it washed over him gently; the smell of wet fur, warm milk, and hay. The setting sun bathed them in warmth as they awaited the approaching night.

   “I'm learning it is never too late to learn,” he replied, smiling.

Author's Note: This is my FAVORITE scene in Stormblood tbh. I don't remember much from my original playthrough (severe depression) but I recall this particular scene very well honestly. So the second time I played through and it was just as I recalled it…that was special. I'd been telling myself for years that I couldn't trust my memory anymore - and I honestly still don't. But I, too, could learn some things by just listening and understanding that it's never too late to take back what was stolen from us.

‘Telling’ in this story comes in many forms. The stories we are told by people, places, sights, smells, sounds. How sometimes we need to just shut up and LISTEN instead of being the ones to speak. And ofc the things we hear in our long lives that make it harder for us to listen. Because we're too busy telling ourselves about our limitations and mistakes. We end up missing all the times we could tell ourselves the impossible is not really so.
