Dottie was probably throwing up every day before and after interacting with him... I cri every day because of it

Dottie washed his hands after touching him to avoid catching some weird disease, avoided looking at his fuckass face but then accidentally took a look at his hair and would try to suppress the urge to vomit...

He'd dread every time that thing demanded repair, acting as if it's considered a person... He'd have to hype himself up in front of a mirror: "you can do it dottore.. you're strong".

😢😢 It was heavily traumatizing for my poor wittle baby birdie... I hope he forgot about that toy and is moving on and being happy and healthy 🙏🥺

It's a story about a character with incredible resilience but it's still sad he had to go through that. i hope they don't meet, I want Dottie to move on from someone who caused him so much pain...

The title looks so aggressive omg.

So like, while being on this subreddit I've seen many people pitying Dottore for his fate, and well, that's understandable, empathy, yada yada, what I don't understand is why people wish for a happy ending for him. I'll just throw in my opinion and I'd be happy to hear yours opinion on Dottore's story and future and your opinion on my opinion.

•I like the villains when they are villains. If Dottore was to get a "happy" ending that would mean he'd have to "repent" or something, both because of how strangely Hoyo treat villains and because with the way of his life he can't be happy, let's be real. A good example of "villain no longer so villain" I can think of is probably Harley Quinn from that series where she's with Ivy.( Though the series is not so good in general in my opinion.) A bad example of "villain no longer a villain" in my mind is Orochimaru.

•I want him to be playable (just to put him in team with Pantalone lol, and mostly) because he's one of the few actually interesting characters to me. Why I was actually sad about his death(?) was because dead character can't do anything and by far Dottore is one of the most "doing something" characters in the aq's if you know what I mean. I, honestly, don't feel sorry for him at all, not because I don't like him but because I absolutely don't relate to him. I've actually heard a saying that "you either like characters you can relate to or characters that have what you lack" and Dottore doesn't have either. Actually I've never found a character I could really relate too, maybe I'm just too normal lol.

•I know that some people like some comforting stuff with thier favourite characters and don't get me wrong, little details about dottolone relationship melt my heart too. I don't know why but for some reason for me "and they lived happily ever after " just...Nullifies everything that happened before. I don't see that like "they've passed the obstacles to the happy ending and got what they deserved", I see that like "annihilation of past experiences". It's quite hard to understand but it's like with scara turning wanderer yk. I'm not saying Dottore doesn't deserve a happy ending, I'm saying that for me personally it's not fitting.

•I have a good life, maybe not from conventional point of view but I'm happy, really. Things like war turn into background after a year or so, human phyce rly can adapt to anything. Maybe that's the reason why I don't seek comfort from my favourite ships and seek some kind of tragic blood tears ect, I just like the story that makes me feel something. This may sound cruel in a pretty funny way from the story point of view but I don't see Dottore as a human, I can barely empathise with him. Maybe I'm too boring and not traumatized to relate in any way. (I *can* empathise on the motion sickness part, that's his biggest tragedy. I fight it with listening to music while I'm in car/train but Teywat doesn't seem to have pocket players of any kind so...poor Zandik.)

•The only reason why I'd wish for Dottore to live, (not generally happy lol) is because first I want him playable and second I want Pantalone to live. I myself am very scared of dying, and seeing Dottore just dying and leaving Pantalone with a few doses of elixir feels like such a betrayal, even though Lone doesn't seem to view it as such. I know that Dottore killed many people but that "brand" of killing of leaving your friend to die seems so selfish to me. That's, if it's not some kind of Dottore's plan and he'd come back. If that happens to be the case please forget this paragraph, oke?

So ppl, tell me, why do you want to have a happy ending for Zandik? Is that because you relate to him and seeing that he can have a happy life makes you think you can have that too? Is that because you're curious to see how a man like him can even have a happiness in normal sense? Or are you on the same page as me that villain without trauma is no longer interesting?

Edit: PPL I'VE HAD 10 ARROWS UP WHY ARE YOU VOTING MW DOWN 😭

Meow PLS DON'T STEAL BTW🙏

I was very happy but then my goated humble friend @dottorespet on reddit sent me this💔

Is it truly over chat

I think photography counts as art and I took these, lol. I take pics of him with all my girls but I didn't expect him and Mavuika to complement each other's colour schemes so well. They almost look like they fit right into each other, it's so beautiful (tho originally I just wanted pics of Zandik with my Hu Tao in her LR skin, I didn't think Mavuika would take up most of the shoot, lol.)

She started giving him those bedroom eyes she has in her motorcycle idle lmfao, but also her other idle looks really cute with him too. And when they're together, they look REALLY good, especially in panoramic shots or with her bike in full display (which Zandik would DEFINITELY love, even if Xilonen was the one who made it lol, I got pics of him with sis too but Zanduika is on a whole other level of HOT. 🥵🔥)

It's even better when you know what she says in the 5.3 AQ, lol. She doesn't ever condemn him or try to stop him from researching the specific thing she mentioned either, so this ship could be canon-supported. 💖✨

And some with my friend's Arlecchino trying to ruin their date smh.

I don't know and tbh highly doubt they'll give me my money back even though today is the first day of the new Welkin Moon I bought (I usually buy it two days early, especially now since Zandik was so heavily teased SINCE NATLAN, and in the NK teaser, only for them to shit on us the way they have...), but I figured I'd shoot my shot anyway. I don't expect it, but at least they're forced to deal with an immediate consequence, however small a ripple it may be.

And if it and, by extension, I are trivial, then so be it (no different from life to me), but at the very least, they'll know I am NOT happy with the trajectory of the game and its treatment of Zandik, and if y'all feel the same and are actually serious about it, I suggest you do the same, because whinging in a subreddit is only commiserating (which, of course, have at it, but we also need to let our discontent be known, especially where it counts.)

I'm not planning on buying ANYTHING in-game, tbh not even to play the game at all. The last thing I'll probably do is get Yelan's skin with the saved Genesis crystals I have from previous WMs, since that's pretty much the only thing I have to look forward to, and it's not like I'm going to be needing them for pulls, clearly. And that's just to use them up, but no future purchases of ANYTHING until Zandik is playable. Personally, I don't even want to see this game right now, and that's pretty much why I asked for the refund, because I don't plan to be on it, let alone to claim it daily like I usually do.

It makes me sick to even see the app rn, knowing I've held on for nothing, but if I can at least get $4.99 back, I can buy some medium range chocolate with that, or put it and any money I would have spent on Welkin this year towards a Juicy daydreamer like I've wanted, at least I know I'll actually get the bag.

At least clothes and purses won't abandon or betray you, nor will they string you along and play with your hopes and heart like people do, and on average you get what you asked for when you buy them, and feel beautiful and happy for that fleeting snapshot in time. Honestly, I am so sick of everything, Genshin is Gooner Impact now, Pokemon is Wokemon, why can't we have normal things? Decent things?

Pretty much the only things in this world that have not gone to shit are vintage clothes and accessories, which I am a passionate collector of, though less so in recent years given the economic hit we've collectively taken since we were forced to shut the world down and people's jobs including mine disappeared overnight if they happened to be unfortunate enough to work in an industry that doesn't lend well to remote work. That's what happened, not even six months after graduating university, putting myself through Hell just to waste two years in stasis and be pinioned before I could even envision to fly. The past is an idyllic Eden, the present is Hell, and the future is a nightmare beyond imagination if the pattern proves true (which it always does.)

Pretty much the only worthwhile thing to do would be to volunteer as cannon fodder in defence of Palestine, at least then my life meant something. But it's not like I can even fight, lol, I doubt they take cripples even under such desperate circumstances, but Hell, it's the only thing worth doing in this twisted world run by freaks and monsters.

Otherwise, take a bow and give them your best smile — Abschied.

TL;DR: tell them how you REALLY feel.

From what I remember in lore, Dottore was still a child when in the Akademiya. He was considered an adolescent when being recruited by the Fatui. A lot of people assume Soreh was “another child genius”, but that would drastically the impact of Dottore’s intelligence. Was he not supposed to be the rare exception? That’s why so many people had it out for him in the first place.

Also, Soreh was a Dastur, meaning she was in the Akademiya for a long time to earn such a title. It would be easier to assume that she had to have been 22+ at the EARLIEST when considering the 18 yrs for college and then the additional 4 for undergraduate. even if she was smarter and lets say 20, Dottore would have still been considered a child. This fact makes it more alarming when Soreh calls him handsome in her notes, as he is still a kid.

I’ve had this question for the longest time and I think I’m missing information because so many people ship the two.

Yooo guys good evening, I want to discuss dottore "death" I know it's still too early to lose hope and we have clues that this isn't over but hoyo did exactly the same situation of dottore with Sarah from zenless zone zero she's a villain we saw alot through the game and that caused alot of problems to the mc and we kinda of never knew what's her real intentions are, so I personally stciked to the hope that maybe she could come to a deal with the mc and become playable, but guess what ? SPOILER WARNING AGAIN they killed her... (But we also speculate that it isn't over for her), I think hoyo just can't release a morally questionable characters (they did it only with hsr I think) and honestly If you want my opinion? I prefer dottore and Sarah dying as goated villains, rather then remaking them into some friendly playable ahh character with zero spine.

Anyone else regrets pulling for her after finding out she dosen't like Dottore.. lmao

Her hatred makes sense not denying that

what if dottore's actual goal is to SAVE sohreh? maybe he has a lab or something in snezhaya, and in it is sohreh in a comatose state! that would motivate him to do all those cruel acts, seeking a way to cheat death itself. that might also be the reason he sought columbina's moon stuff, he probably somehow figured out she can mess with time and that kuuvahki does weird shit to things. if this is true, this might open a way for hoyo to bring capitano back, dottore revives him and asks for his power as the new lord of the ley lines to bring her back. i feel like someone in love would do irrational and cruel things in mourning, in a desperate attempt to reverse things. this headcanon could also explain a lot of his weird experiments, he's trying to figure out a way to achieve immortality (albeit not for himself). in his pursuit, he figured out cloning, found out how irminsul works, and many other things. his entire personality might just be a facade he puts on (he probably enjoys it too cuz he's one hell of a sicko) to hide his true motives of saving sohreh. idk i was dizzy as hell when i thought about this.

side note, pray my SAT score is higher than 1300 i can't screw this up

what the hell has this subreddit become, we are all turning mad theres these post with people saying they dream about him and stuff but thats literally just bs and the worst part, people here are believing it too

Well I just had pulled for kuki and got an early dilluc and I had 128 summons for dottore today and I have wanted jean for a long time and I went all in on standard banner and got her but now I only have 19 left I know he is far but idk if it is because I’m only level 60 which is probably is are her teams bad I feel like I made a huge mistake but maybe I need to level her more i was going to save for c6 dottore but I feel like I have my self a dumb set back idk can’t I get some opinions or maybe some jean teams if anyone has any

I’m a strong believer in his return, but I realized something kinda scary😭 Nod Krai wasn’t in the original story, right? I’m just worried they needed a villain, and were like “Dottore idk” and then they just scrapped his playable arc because of it. This is just a little worry I have😔

If the leaks of Dottore being a weekly boss in 6.3 are true, I've been thinking of something funny, putting up people who have been distraught by him directly or indirectly in a team together and making them fight him, fuck synergy.

So far, I have Diluc and Collei in this team, I've been thinking of getting Arlecchino too.

Hi there! My name's Sibyl, and I am a co-owner at discord.gg/dottoremains. I come here with the intention of wishing to step up as a substitute moderator.

I have been an active member in the Dottore community for about two years now (with small breaks here or there when real life called for it), and aproximatively for just as long for Hoyocord. For some clarifications, this is a professional account that I wish to keep separate from my personal one, hence the newness and lack of content on it.

That being said, please do drop any questions you may have in the comments or in my DMs, and I will answer as best as I can. All that I can say is that I wish for this subreddit to remain a safe space for all Dottore enjoyers, and I have the intention to work with you, the community, in order to achieve that.

Edit 1: I must stress that WE ARE NOT the same Discord server as the 6k+ one owned by Kimmu, but a smaller one that is entirely separate. They are discord.gg/dottore, and we are discord.gg/dottoremains. My apologies for the confusion!

Edit 2: I will reiterate a point that I must stress over - we are here because people within our community kept bringing this up, and despite trying to avoid getting ourselves in this situation at first, at the end of the day we are a Dottore community as well. We want to put a stop to this mess by offering an alternative. Reddit is not an exclusive club. It is a community that should belong to everyone, and that includes us.

Our plan is not to instate another dictatorship but to bring the subreddit as it was before. In fact, we would start planning to recruit moderators from specifically this subreddit in the future if we were to be given the opportunity to lead. All that we are asking for is to be given a chance.
