i love eclair’s blue 💙 but also toast omg, your reblog of the post mentioning shyness when it comes to oc talk is soooo cute to me because i have a similar shyness when it comes to asking youuuu about your oc !! ^^; on my end, it’s like . . “aa . . hiiii toast 🍞 can i sit here and listen to your eclair thoughts . . no . . i don’t know which . . just any . .” YOU KNOOOWWW

EVEEVEE I KNOOOOOWWWWW TRUST ME I KNOOOOWWWWWWWW ☹️😫😫😫😫 There are always so many things that I want to talk about when it comes to Eclair but I'm forcing myself to stay silent every time....part of it is because I'm shy and the other part of it is because there is so much intrinsic lore that has been developing in the background that is both beat for beat canon to the existing story and lore of genshin and also WILDLY non-canon and HIGHLY dependent on you all knowing every single brain thread that has lead me to making that bit of lore...

Genuinely, Eclair's lore varies from "she was raised by her aunt Monet after her father took up work in the Fortress of Meropide" to "hey did you know that her maternal line isn't entirely human?" AND LIKE. HOW DO I EXPLAIN THAT. THE FIRST ONE CAN BE EXPLAINED, IT'S IN THE UNLOCKABLE STORY THINGS THAT ARE PART OF HER CHARACTER PROFILE BUT HER ANCESTRY??? No, we will sit here and get through her surface level lore FIRST. We will learn more about her and her struggles before she became the Head Detective and then go from there.

The problem is...IDK WHERE TO EVEN *START* -

#toast talks #The real starting point is attempting to make a coherent story for her without it sounding stupid LOL #Oh also I think another reason I'm so hesitant is because I don't have a lot of art of her! I feel really bad talking about characters #sometimes because I don't have many physical refs of them for people to look at while I'm talking #So it's really just a bunch of words that people may or may not gloss over and I feel bad for sending paragraph after paragraph #of lore and info that like. Only I may care about LOL #BUT YEAH SKGHSJKUGI MY MAIN ISSUES IS THAT IDK WHERE TO START WHEN I'VE BEEN BUILDING EVERYTHING IN MY HEAD #I worry that sometimes I may talk about something and like it's interesting to me but not interesting to others and I might accidentally #overwhelm others with how much I talk sometimes aaaaa #There's also the fact that there are characters that are other ocs of mine that are integral to Eclair's lore and that makes me go #''okay now I have to introduce these characters but they're not really important they're mostly side characters EXCEPT for this one -''#Like when I talk about Monet or Aubert who are really important and are characters that can be interacted with regularly in my brain #but they aren't exactly *the* most important characters you know???#Then there are the situations with Melia and Leda who are EXTREMELY important in their own way but like...ough...#SKJGNSJKG I HAVE TOO MANY LORE BITS AND NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO YAP ABOUT IT ALL AAAAAAA
