older gentleman just gave me a lecture on how when I decide it’s time to find a wife I need to buy myself a pair of loud colorful socks and sit around with my legs crossed to show my ankles and women will flock to me
I love how delighted (and smug) Picard is here. His whole attitude just screams, “I was expecting basically the Outrageous Okona, but instead I’ve got a guy who pretends to be the Outrageous Okona, but is actually Starfleet at heart still, that’s so perfect for me, I’ve always enjoyed mentoring talented but troubled officers exactly like this, this is great, just like old times all over again…”

Renoir was already a painter before meeting Aline and had a habit of staying in canvases for too long due to his creative passion, described explicitly as a tendency towards self-destruction.
Aline came from a more noble family than Renoir.
Alicia was the main victim of the writer's plot and Verso died in the fire while trying to rescue her.
Aline is consumed by guilt for failing to protect her children and Alicia's state after the fire haunts her mind for her inability to help her youngest.
Before the fire, Aline is described as dreamy, charming, passionate, and a little stubborn. She exudes a natural aura of leadership and confidence, interspersed with deep sadness and a cold determination.
Aline painted Verso first, and then Renoir. Lumière was created to give the Painted family a sense of normality and to give Verso a "beautiful and healthy living environment."
There is a cardinal rule for Painters in the real world where creating a copy of a real person, especially without their knowledge or consent, is considered an ethical violation.
The Fracture caused massive earthquakes and hurricanes which tore the world apart. Part of the city was swept up by the storm before being thrown into the middle of the ocean.
Search and Rescue Expeditions were quickly formed in order to bring back survivors left in Old Lumiere but none returned besides the Painted family.
Sophie and Gustave were engaged before they broke up because of their differing views on raising children in Lumière.
Lune is sometimes plagued with imposter syndrome which makes her seem cold and distant despite the depth of her passions.
Gustave is explicitly stated to suffer from PTSD after the ambush.
The Ancient Sanctuary is a cemetery where Gestrals are placed to rest while they wait to be reborn in the Sacred River.
Verso painted the Sacred River because he felt that Immortality was too boring and death was too permanent, and so the reincarnation process of Gestrals leaves only most of their memories intact so that they may still feel excited for new beginnings.
The Painting Workshops (Clea's Atelier as it's known in the game files) were created after the fracture by Clea when she came back to create the nevrons.
The Stone Faced Cliffs was originally populated before the Fracture. The Paintress cult plotline we see is because a few survivors saw her as a deity and worshipped her with carved alters. "Their molten wax bodies now mingle with the candles lit in her name."
The battles of Forgotten Battlefield were fought between humans and nevrons. The marble fortresses, trenches, catapults, and cannons we see were made by the scholars, engineer, and defense forces of the large expeditions participating in the battle. The Nevrons ultimately overcame the courage of the Expeditioners and lead to colossal losses.
Aline created the train network of Lumiere because she was inspired by young Verso's love of trains.
made a tiny esquie because i'm obsessed with expedition 33 & wanted a quick, fun project. i didn't go for game accuracy here, just picked some materials that had good vibes & ended up with this somewhat-chibified version of the Large Friend.
