My Créme de la Créme MCs -- Ethan & Celeste Dalton

I played CLDC by @hpowellsmith and enjoyed it quite a bit, so I got a commission of my MCs from OyenPaws on IG <3

Spotify playlists:

More info under the cut!

Ethan Dalton and Celeste Dalton are siblings. However, they're total polar opposites. Celeste is bubbly, outgoing, flirty and dramatic. Meanwhile, Ethan is introverted, reclusive, quiet and stoic.

I added lots and lots of headcanons (sorry), so in my mind, their playthroughs happened parallel with each other.

Ethan is very academic and studious. He stays in his own lane, does his own thing, unbothered. Celeste is popular and is involved with everything and everyone. She's a flirt, for sure. Florin Kraemer, eat your heart out.

Ethan decided to pursue higher education at a prestigious university, while Celeste decided to have fun with an art gallery apprenticeship. Her end goal is to become a fashion designer and start her own haute couture house.

In both playthroughs, Gallatin won. None of them ended up married. Lady Renaldt got exposed, and the good Dalton family name was restored.

Ethan got thrown in the mines (yikes!) while Celeste was busy fooling around with her boytoys. You'd think that she'd notice her brother being gone, but it's kind of hard when there are so many guys fighting for your attention :/

I scoured the author's blog to find any clues about the fashion in CLDC. I didn't want to put them in their school uniforms (which would've just been easier honestly), and since the zeitgeist of the CLDC universe is actually... not THAT set in stone (I even looked at other people's MC to make sense of what the fashion should look like) I just ended up taking inspo from dark/light academia, old money and coquette aesthetics. Can you tell that Celeste is very Lana Del Rey coded? :)

Their parents accidentally supported a corrupt political candidate.

Celeste is incredibly arrogant, vain and bold. For better or for worse. Ethan also has a tendency to look down on people he deems to be less intellectual than him.

Celeste had a hate-love thing with Blaise. Ethan wondered why she needed two snarky dark-haired dudes in her life. He pretty much avoided everyone, and the closest thing he had to romance was with Prince Rosario of all people!? So much for trying to be low-profile.

Ethan has to constantly drag Celeste out of dumb situations of her own making. Celeste has to constantly remind Ethan that people, even him, need human interaction.

Honestly the only reason why they managed to save the family's reputation is because Ethan was working behind the scenes and cleaned up Celeste's love scandals.

They're part east/southeast asian, part middle eastern and part european.

Ethan loves birds, especially corvids. He spends more time with birds than he does with people. His earring is supposed to resemble a raven.

Celeste is part of the Prefect Committee. Ethan is a member of the Birchmeier Society.

Ethan is 5'11, Celeste is 5'5.

Their mom is another OC of mine, Darcy Angelis <3

Had to restart the playthrough because of this, but in Celeste's playthrough, she decided to dance with Auguste at the ball. After that chapter ended, it triggered multiple consecutive scenes, one after another, where literally ALL of the characters had the "what are we???" talk with her. Can't believe the harem found out.

#baby Hartmann saying ratbags!?? who raised him.......it's that Van Meyer boy's influence to be sure.... #comix #creme de la creme #cdlc #choice of games #Max Van Meyer #Blaise Marechal #Eugene Hartmann #bea art tag #creme de la creme fanart #I like that these games take place in a delightfully anachronistic alternate universe of sorts bc I can mix and match clothing styles

[chenria]

This was a quick idea... I just wanted to do some random outlines... and I finished another "Creme de la Creme" playthrough earlier... so I just took how I imagined my little Cyrena Duval. She ended up romancing Max... somehow still managed to get an A+ in her final exams and got accepted to Gessner University.... 

It's nothing fancy... but at least it's something small I did for myself.

finished Crème de la Crème by @hpowellsmith last night and had to do the usual thing of updating the sim visual of my protag, Euphemia 'Mia' Túsling.

her parents fell into debt due to their gambling problems and she got very stressed out about having to restore their place in society. top is during her time at college and bottom is afterwards when she's been married and working for a while :>

she's very accommodating but also very direct. being subtle / intrigue isnt her strong suit at all. is balanced between being traditional and progressive. wit is super high tho and she's fairly popular with everyone. closest friends are Freddie, Hartmann, and Karson.

she did help the local journalist with the disappearing investigation only because she was afraid of any further hits to her reputation should she decline at first, but got invested herself real fast when some absolutely wild dots started connecting.

Lady Renaldt did end up getting arrested but not before Euphemia was sent to the mines herself where she escaped w Blaise. she's gonna marry him. gallatin also won the competition. i love her and i plan on doing like two more routes w her and then making someone new for some others.

played the creme de la creme IF and had a lot of fun! I did a little doodle page of my mc, so now introducing you to Nye Graythorne (they/them), world’s sternest jock

I highly rec checking out cdlc if you like boarding school stories and text adventures! one thing i was really impressed by was the text to button press ratio. i think its really hard to get the right amount of text chunks per “page” in IF because a lot of the time IF players will have a lower tolerance for how much they want to read before getting to interact with the story compared to a novel. While playing I never once got reading fatigue, and while part of that was the great writing, part of it was also mastery of when to include choices (which is part of good IF writing but i think often its perceived as a separate thing).

#Nye is just so serious and earnest 😌 #but also theyre like #’if im on track to graduate i can smooch karson a lil as a treat’ #and oops suddenly they have a major blindspot when it comes to karson #anyway… fic maybe coming in the future? #my artwork #creme de la creme #cdlc #ghostknightfooling #recs
