…oh my god HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS SOONER

While Vitimir’s design is possibly based off of mosquitos and drinking birds (a toy heat engine that mimics the motion of a bird drinking from a water source, you can thank @/stormvanari for that)

maybe their design is also based off of plague doctors?

I MEAN THE SIMILARITIES ARE CERTAINLY THERE.

most noticeably the tophats, the mouth/face covering, and the ridiculously long beak/nose

Along with the beak stuff, Vitimir is also loosely based off of birds too! (see their birb feet)

And more modern interpretations of plague doctors makes it look even MORE similar to Vit’s design

(Btw i know nothing of plague doctor stuff so idk if theyre also associated with alchemy? Probably not tbh. Theres also a bunch of differences too. Plague doctor outfits are meant to cover all parts of your body. Still, if they were atleast loosely inspired by plague doctors that would be pretty cool!!!)

Edit: also the irony that plague doctor masks are sepposed to ward off diseases with good smells, while Vitimir on the other hand uses the mask to hide their stank breath probably because its dangerous asf. Idk i found it interesting 👉👈
