Man I adore tormenting dottore as my love language :3
cw: kinda dark? zandik accidentally hurting us because he's hallucinating (IM NOT AN EXPERT I just think it's like. Very realistic if this were to happen)
Anyways, I like to think that Dottore came from a... Rather unpleasant home, and then especially burned his home town along with everyone who has cursed him (except for you ofc)
Still, the memories hasn't left him. It's not like he could, no matter how much he buries himself in his research. Zandik can't heal when he pretends that it's all fine and that dwelling into such emotions would be a waste of time. This proved to be more prominent during his younger days...
One day, I could just imagine, you come home to your shared dorm, all preppy and smiles because you're finally gonna spend time with the love of your life! Only to see absolute ruin of your dorm—everything was a mess, papers strewn every where, couch flipped, drops of his blood on the floor. You panic, wondering if the Matra finally raided your home to arrest Zandik, then you heard him yell—in your bedroom. You run towards it, frantically, and stupidly.
You should've assessed the situation more. Took a deep breath and calmed your mind—but you were striken with anxiety and fear, and when you shouted "what happened here!?" "What did you do!?" at him, you were quickly met with pain you've never felt before.
He had burned you with a torch, and now you're on the ground, writhing and screaming in hellish pain, cradling the parts of your body that was burnt to a crisp. You see him grinning at you, eyes full of satisfaction and malice.
You thought that this was what he wanted all along, that everything was a lie and he just used you for all your worth, and now that he has nothing to use you for, he has decided to kill you.
But you then hear him shout: "Are you proud of me? I've become the monster you've always told me that I am."
Quickly, you realize that he hadn't meant to hurt you.
The scars stayed, much to Zandik's dismay. After treating your injuries, he has resorted to ignoring you for the next couple of days, being mean and insulting you.
Just be patient with him, you know that he cares. And that he's absolutely crushed that he has hurt you, of all people. He didn't mean it, but now you've got painful scars that will ache for a life time, all because of him. All because he was stubborn to heed your concerns. He wanted to burn the past, he really did. To forget and move on. He hated his childhood so much that he's willing to just let it burn into ashes... But he didn't realize if he tried, he'd burn you along with it.
You see him open his mouth whenever he tends your healing wounds, but then close it, biting his bottom lip to keep it from trembling. You see him read books all about treating burn wounds, cook you meals, ignoring his research all for you—his hands shook, eyes dark though glassy. You know he wants to apologize, but then his eyes goes to your scars, sucks in a deep breath, glares at you and walks away.
He's really doing his best to push you away
Zandik cares so much that he wants you to leave him, hate him, for being who he is, for being what he is. But no, you're smiling so softly and reassuring him that you're fine. That it's not his fault, that he didn't mean it.
And he'd yell he did mean it, that you were just lucky to survive (as if he hasn't lost sleep and progress on his research just to tend to you).
It wasn't his fault, you urged.
You remember it all vividly. Zandik knocking frantically at your home, houses ablaze behind him, his body littered with cuts and bruises. People were carrying torches and pitchforks, makeshift weapons and screaming at Zandik to just leave—and with out much thought, you grabbed as much as you could from your room and ran away with him.
You knew he finally snapped that day. Took matters in his own hands... He never talked much about it, but you could assume what happened. And you were certain he had confronted his parents before it all went to shit.
He wasn't trying to hurt you. He never did, and he would never want to hurt you. You were the exception and will always be, he would rather let the world cave in than letting you bleed by his hands. Zandik was lost in his thoughts, drowning in unpleasant memories and his eyes deceived him—he thought you were someone else, and he wanted to hurt them, not you.
JGJGOFHFJDSJS yeah that, he most definitely probably cry in your arms talking about how much he hates ur scars bc he gave them to you...
I would add more BUT IM LITERALLY IN CLASS AND MY PROFESSOR IS LECTURING HELP OKAY BYE SMOOCHES ILY /P HAVE A GOOD DAY CKCBXKCBDJ
Sorry for this I just like. Exploring struggles and menta shit KBcjcjc
MOOT WHAT IS THIS... WHY ARE YOU HURTING US LIKE THIS my JAW WAS DROPPED THE WHOLE TIME 😭😭 Okay but real. I have two hcs when it comes to Zandik's parents - they were the only ones who loved him but they died when he was really young, or they really just hated him. I've also heard others say "Zandik" can be used as an insult too? I don't know how true that is though. But yeah I think the latter is more likely to be true unfortunately 💔 Even if they were nice to him it wouldn't be enough to counter a whole town's worth of hatred towards him... yup yup the village definitely got burned down to the ground.
One would think that he wouldn't be affected. But he wasn't Dottore yet. He was merely Zandik at this point. He couldn't just shrug it off and go about his day. He pondered. He thought. He felt. He was still more human, more feeling than he wanted to admit, and he absolutely hated it. Still, he didn't regret it, but the memories would simply not leave his head. It was wholly bothersome. After all, not too long ago he was merely a little boy... a little boy who was deemed a monster, a demon child. All the people, even his own parents who accused him were gone now yet... their voices still rang clear in his head. And of course you had no clue, because Zandik would never speak about his feelings under any circumstance.
OUCHHHH HOW CAN I EVEN WRITE THE NEXT PART?? I CAN'T WRITE IT AS GOOD AS YOU oh gosh I WILL TRY. Ah... coming home to your shared dorm. Thinking it's going to be another regular, good day with you and your lover. But it's not, and when you see your home ransacked of course the first thing that goes through your mind is if your Zandik is okay. Of course you you rush to him and beckon him to tell you what happened as anyone would do. Of course you try to reach out to him. And of course, you didn't expect to be licked with flames by your lover's own hand, not only is your body crying out in pain but so is your heart - did Zandik really not care for you after all of these years? The only one who you treasured above all else... perhaps he never viewed you more than a pawn. But then you hear those few words that make you realize what's truly going on - ah, you understand now.
The logical part of Zandik knew that the scars would remain, but the illogical part of him hoped (to think he was even capable of that) badly that they wouldn't. You wonder what his expression was when he was tending to your wounds - you were asleep at the time - but even if you had seen it you probably wouldn't be able to put it into words... it was expressionless yet also not at the same time. He looked empty, and unfeeling, yet he looked the opposite too. And perhaps you wouldn't believe how tenderly he treated your wounds, from the way he's giving you the cold shoulder now. You wouldn't know the way his hands shook the whole time because he did that to you. The one person who would never, who should have never faced his anger, his wrath. It's all his fault, there's no denying that, he hurt you and now you're going to be hurting for the rest of your life too. The last person, no the only person who he doesn't want to see hurt.
Even now, Zandik doesn't understand you. How the fuck are you more calm about this than he is. He hurt you. He burnt you and he meant it and yet in the aftermath, there's not a hint of resentment on your face and he doesn't understand - he hates it so much, you should hate him, in fact it'd make him feel better if you did because how can you even begin to like him a tiny bit after what he's just done, he's claimed to love you and even in that twisted mind of his he knows that's not what lovers do. He doesn't understand why you haven't packed your bags and moved to another dorm by now, hell why do you try to usher him to bed because "lack of sleep is bad for him" what actually goes through your mind...? What went through your mind when you decided to leave with him too? The villagers weren't after you, just him, you could have had a normal life, but you still decided to go with him... you two had no plan, no money, no real necessities but you gave up everything for him anyway. Sigh...
Ouch... i feel like at some point you would just accept your scars but Zandik? Haunts him more than he wants to admit. Don't get me wrong he still thinks you're beautiful but... you know what I mean. Mhm... imagine the child segment asking you where/how you got the scars from and at the moment you make up the most ridiculous lie because that's all your brain can think of because there's no way you're telling the baby that Prime did it. Oh and the angst if Dottore hears that convo :(
Okay... moving on from that angst... PLS You're hella brave for being on tumblr in class, I'm too scared to open it or write fics in general in fear of someone seeing 😭 Once I accidentally opened my blog on my laptop and I closed the tab at LIGHT SPEED. ILY TOO KAI I HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hello there! I wonder how the WK villains would fit in the Runes AU. I’ve been hyper focusing on it and would be happy to give you a chance to info dump. (You don’t HAVE to, I’m just interested.) Thank you, have a nice day!
OH BOY WOULD I
the villains have a pretty big part in runes!! i'm holding off on going into a lot of detail cause i wanna save some things for the actual fic once i get enough time to start writing it, but all four of em have a role to play in the story, especially paisley. (girlie needs some more love, she's underrated <3) for the most part, all of their motivations/gimmicks are the same as canon, except now on top of exploiting nature for their own reasons, they're also going after a highly-coveted ancient technology.
the runes au revolves a lot around the Hunt, which is basically a widespread search for the remaining creature power runes hidden around the world. the villains all have their own personal stake in the Hunt because word of it actually Started within their circle! the tortuga crew were the ones who got dragged into the whole situation directly because of their interactions with zach in particular.
that being said, some of the villains are working together in this while others are working against each other. all of em obviously want the runes for themselves, but villain teamups are like my favorite event in the canon show cause of how much fun it is to explore their dynamics :D
the scale/complexity (if you even wanna call it complex? lol) of this story is a little bigger than i originally expected, so i also have an original villain i came up with that ties up a lot of the loose ends the canon villains couldn't exactly do on their own...but i'll showcase him another day B))

ఇ . ⸝ㅤintroducing kiyomizu tsuki .ᐟ
the links: profile — biography — wanted plots 。
♡ ↝ pelican town is all abuzz about KIYOMIZU TSUKI, our resident 23-year old KINDERGARTEN TEACHER. you know, the one who looks like MINATOZAKI SANA? i don’t see it, but maybe that’s just because they remind me of SOFT-SPOKEN WORDS UNDER THE MOONLIGHT, THE SMELL OF FLOWERS ON THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING AND THE WARMTH OF THE SUN ON A CHILLY DAY every time i see them at PELICAN PRIMARY SCHOOL. word around town is that they’re increasingly PATIENT and OPTIMISTIC, but can get rather RESENTFUL.
hello, everyone! you can call me angel (21+, sher/her, gmt-3, discord upon request) and i'm a little late but i'm finally here to introduce my baby moonshine kiyomizu tsuki, your favorite pelican primary school kindergarten teacher and the owner of the warmest and sweetest smile in town. please, click below for more information and leave a like to plot and/or chat!
i don't have her biography and wanted plots page up yet (i'll have them done soon and update here when i do), but i'll write down a few tidbits about tsuki and also suggest a few simple plots and prompts i'd like for her ^^ don't hesitate to approach if anything interests you. i'm very excited to be here so let's get started!
tsuki was born in fukuoka, japan, and raised by her parents who had pretty high standards about the path she should follow in her life.
even though they had a good relationship, her parents didn't approve of her wishes to become a teacher because they wanted tsuki to go into law school like her father had.
met a boy from pelican town in her first year of university and they began dating quite seriously. of course, her parents didn't approve again, but tsuki didn't care.
upon graduating, her boyfriend chose to move back to his hometown due to personal reasons what led tsuki to decide she would move as well to stay close to him. that decision turned her relationship with her parents quite sour.
eventually, they broke up after she found out he had been cheating on her it had been 4 months already. she liked the town and her job so much that she decided to stay despite the situation, she also felt too proud to run back to her family.
tsuki adores kids and genuinely enjoys caring for and teaching them new and different things. her favorite days in kindergarten are the ones where she can take her little ones to picnics or do fun activities with them.
she is quite romantic but actually has a bit of a difficult time believing anyone would fall for her and not trade her for somebody else after her last experience. she is quite insecure because of it.
she is very sweet and has a graceful demeanour to her most times, although she loves being bright and bubbly as well. she is the friend people go to when they need comfort.
is a bit emotional and sensitive, which leads her to cry very easily in response to both happy and sad situations. if you ever invite her to a dog movie session, expect her to cry her eyes out!
dreams of having a family someday and wishes to be the kind of mother that isn't as strict as her parents had been with her.
despite the type of person most people might think she is due to her gentle disposition, tsuki is very outspoken and is not afraid to speak her mind when necessary.
still contacts her family every once in a while but most of their conversations are strained and awkward, usually ending up with them asking her to return to japan and tsuki saying no.
PLOT IDEAS AND WANTED CONNECTIONS!
the ex-boyfriend who cheated on her and broke tsuki's heart but still tries to approach her sometimes,she might still have lingering affection for him despite the pain he put her through and hates him for it.
close friends that she can confide to, spend time with and just generally treat like a little found family of sorts.
people who work at places she usually visits often and can be sort of friends/acquaintances of hers (coffee shops, bookshop/library, the comunity center's garden, etc).
a mutual pining situation where both tsuki and the other muse (male) like each other but have no idea it's returned even though it might be super obvious to everyone but them (the results will depend heavily on chemistry).
someone she genuinely tried to befriend before but for whatever reason they just don't seem to click and always end up arguing one way or another.
someone she doesn't meet up with often but, everytime they do, they drink and she relaxes and actually talks about things she usually wouldn't because this person encourages her to show a little "wilder" side.
AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU MIGHT POSSIBLY THINK OF! i'm open to all kinds of plots and connections, to be honest!
