Whoa. So, get this, right? Someone out there, they’re like way into this thing called Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and they’ve gone and done their own Maelle cosplay. Yeah, this game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. If you’re like, what even is that?—well, it’s blowing up. Maelle’s in there fighting the good fight against, uh, “The Paintress” sounds ominous, doesn’t it? Everyone who hits a certain age just drops because some cosmic artist paints it on a giant rock or something. Kind of wild, right?
Anyway—oh yeah! Back to the cosplay. This fan, gotta love the dedication, nailed Maelle’s look down to, like, every button and thread. They popped up with photos and sure enough, it’s like Maelle leapt outta the screen. Black pants, check. Purple shirt, yep. Sword? Definitely. It was all there. People went nuts about it, tossing around upvotes like confetti at a parade—1700 and climbing. Honestly, it looked good enough to sit in a museum, if we put video game cosplays in museums. Maybe we should?
So, who knows why, but seems like there’s a trend going. Another fan had a go at Maelle’s “Baguette” outfit. I mean, yeah, that’s what they call it. French couture meets video game chic. Sounds like a fashion show, right? And then, there’s this other thing some genius made—a full-on sculpture. Like, Maelle, hair blowing, sword wielding—I’m imagining fingers turning clay into magic. You can almost feel the tension, just ready to leap from the pedestal.
I guess what I’m saying is, people are still loving Clair Obscur, and it’s like a creative hurricane. Who knows what’s next? More costumes? Maybe someone will bake a Maelle-themed cake, and I’m not saying I wouldn’t try a slice…
