>it's so much easier to do freckles by hand than to generate them
100% agree, it's pretty much a necessity for certain areas of the body no matter what tags you use, problem is they don't look very good when added manually without some inpainting/upscaling, at least in my style. I'm kind of forced to add them to the t2i gen and then pray that the AI doesn't magically get rid of them during the upscaling/ADetailer process, check this out:

I got lucky with the thighs and ass, but the ones on the arms are completely gone...
>they are an exceedingly small and naturally chaotic element
I don't know how long ago this occured, but I noticed that danbooru has gone from only having freckles, body_freckles and ass_freckles as tags to now having several area-specific tags like arm_freckles, thigh_freckles, so-on... I wonder if that would make it easier to create a LoRA for them, or for any future checkpoints to better grasp the concept. Might just be wishful thinking though because as you said, it is indeed annoying. Very.

She looks even cuter when she's moving!
