my roman empire is archons and their child whom they 'failed'. characters with doomed, dark fates, seeming as if they'd never been looked upon by their god. the ones you read about and wonder why their archon did not protect them or pay attention. venti and rozalyne, ei and kabukimono - quite literally, rukkhadevta or nahida and zandik. arguably, egeria and focalors, considering focalors bore the brunt of egeria's sin.

HELP EGELO THE DOTTORE ASK CHAIN I STARYED LMAOOO

[summary: i like him bc i pity him]

basically we are going to talk about dottore's pre-fatui days and we will be using the speculated name 'Zandik'.

TW: grooming speculation and neglect

<#1 — using the wise doctor's pinion set for our knowledge we can actually take a somewhat detailed but still foggy look into what Zandik's akadeymia life was like. now since i am an anon i cannot show imagery but i will put what i remember but you can search it up if you'd like.

>"will you treat me like the akadeymia did? will you call me a monster..? a madman..?"

• now using this alongside the information that dottore was chased out of his hometown in sumeru by an angry mob (assumed to carry torches and pitchforks) being outcasted and rejected by his own nation for a second time during the akadeymia 'outcast' era it was obvious he was used to it and spiraled into hating himself and others. he could never fully trust someone, not anyone. he viewed the world as an experiment, his playground. holding no regard for the life that had shown him no mercy to name calling etc.

• what he went through during his akadeymia days (the bullying) can be classified as child neglect by the akadeymia's staff AND student, it can just be neglect since his age was stated as 'youth/young' and nothing more. no true clarifications to how old he was. however using this information you can only imagine how this affected his very well still underdeveloped frontal cortex (young mind)

• he was stated to have 'knowledge not of this world' and 'a heretic who possessed forbidden knowledge' (stated by people to be assumed from the akadeymia and his hometown) and if you wanna pull the 'he killed and fed his date to the lions of the forest during an expedition date they shared together' card then go ahead because i will be using my own opinion to be defending this one however not completely, only giving an insight into what i think his thought process was during the murder.

(OPINION ONLY! NOT OFFICAL!)

<# using the 4th statement we can see that he did not trust others, nor will he ever. his mind probably developed to shut others out, he must've viewed soreh as a threat or so. thinking she was only going to use him.

<# 'he activated a ruin guard only to shut it off and portray himself as a hero!' the praise he knows of is through what he sees throught the akadeymia. the praise he rarely ever gets OF COURSE HE WOULD BE ATTENTION STARVED.

closing reason #1-

<#2 — people have widely speculated that pierro (the jester) had gr//med zandik into joining the fatui. now before you come at me for using this statement i can quite literally pull up the definition of grooming.

Gr//m!ng.

the action of attempting to form a relationship with a child or young person, with the intention of inducing them to commit an illegal act such as selling drugs or joining a t3rr0rst organization.

we aren't going to use the other reason because that is disgusting! it's speculated that pierro had gr//med zandik into becoming dottore, not the human experimention part though, zandik already showed signs of insanity revolving around that during his akadeymia days. pierro had only fueled it. turning him into the fatui's weapon maker.

you may assume i am using pity to troll you into our hehe haha hoho dumpster cat scientist, however i can state a few more reasons that do NOT revolve around his sad backstory

1/2 of the asks im going to send

—🚬 anon

cig- cig stop talking it’s working-

FUCK my brain chemicals are eating this shit UP

i will pass verdict after the second ask, however.

stew…… avert thine eyes-

#m1d : [chats]#🚬 anon #why do i have a feeling i’ll need a tag for the dottore apologist arc #it’ll go well w my mandela au and shining nikki talk #oh i forgot:#tw grooming #grooming tw #to be safe!
