The sweetest little girl!!! Looked through some 1960s kids clothes for the other three, but the first outfit was technically designed by me and @justkillingthyme ! Absolutely precious, I think those overalls would be her favorite

The pose was pulled from Pinterest, but the credit on the image isn’t clear. I could make out a TikTok logo and “抖音号: Manyu_EEL” on the bottom. Sadly I couldn’t find an account with that name on TikTok.

thoughts and spoilers under the cut!

This took so long to finish but I had a ton of fun with these!

... way too much fun lmao

Adapting their hairstyles was a challenge since I wanted to keep the number of tentacles accurate to each species. Lotus' ponytail is only two large tentacles tied together and her side braids are constructed the same way that the braid style from Splatoon 3 is! Santa's little spikes follow the same principle as the messy grilled tentacles style (from 3 as well)

I could have done other species but I decided to go with inklings and octolings to keep things simple. I have some concept art for alternate designs though! I might make them happen sometime

my very hottest Clair Obscur take and don't take this too seriously or write me essays because I don't particularly care to argue, I just think it's interesting that I have never seen anyone say this one.

but I consider deep in my heart that Sciel and Lune are also Shitty Wizards in my beloved Shitty Wizard book, equally shitty and selfish to the rest of them, pitiable in their circumstances, but not more innocent, for this reason:

they both listened very carefully to Renoir's arguments and said, "You know what? That sounds fine. That sounds good, even. I'd like to stay alive forever anyway, even if it means my young teenage friend/ward/fellow expeditioner will die for me, will die for us."

Not a moment's hesitation. To them, it is worth sacrificing Maelle for more halcyon time for Lumiere. Because they listened to Renoir, they are fully aware Maelle will die.

It's actually the exact opposite of the conclusion that both Gustave AND Verso came to. Gustave said in a fury, "fuck the mission!" in one pivotal conversation where Lune carefully grilled Gustave on whether he would actually sacrifice all of Lumiere for Maelle - the question that went unanswered, until the end of his life when he proved that he would not run and leave her to give a better chance for Lumiere's survival. By not preserving the Lumina Converter over Maelle's safety, Gustave would save Maelle even if it meant a worse outcome for Lumiere.

Both of Maelle's brothers were emotionally unable to sacrifice Maelle, sacrifice their dear sister, for the good of the group.

But Sciel "I would sacrifice you in a heartbeat if it meant I'd see my husband again"? Lune "For the good of Lumiere?"? They have the opposite belief, and they seem very content indeed in the ending that hinges their newfound immortality on the health of a grieving teenager.

I just have not seen anyone point this out before, and do not be too angry because I believe it makes them more interesting characters along the lines of the complexity of the Dessendre family.

What horrifies me about that ending is that Gustave is there, rebuilt in such a way that either he is unaware of what is happening to Maelle, or with a personality so changed so as to no longer care, after we saw play out that her safety was something he would give his life for. Sends a shiver down my spine.

The painting dwellers were born to the whims of mortal gods, which is tragic for them, but in this version of the story, their very nature also gives them the power to live beyond the bounds of mortality. They are no longer even mortal. They do not have to worry about death the way their mortal creators do. They no longer have mortal concerns. They are immortals in paradise, beyond the fear of death, beyond the fear of loss, and they are not thinking of their young friend's well-being at all. Which is very interesting to me, and makes them more nuanced and better characters, that they are also understandably selfish.

Chapters three and four so fucking huge for the "the members of the main cast genuinely care about their friends" truthers
