I especially love the color palette and the emphasis on the hands and the way he resembles my actual grandfather.

Random Dot analysis:

The interesting thing about Dottore is that while the most popular fanon about him is that his underlings fear him, canonically it's the complete opposite.

He deadass has an army of simps working for him, I had never ran into a Fatui NPC that has expressed fear about him, and instead they speak about him in reverence.

The most obvious one is during the AQ where a fatui agent expressed disappointment upon realising that Dottore would be leaving Sumeru soon, saying that he had only seen the lord once.

And it seems that Dottore actually talks to his subordinates often, especially when in the same conversation, the agents (who didn't know about the segment's existence thus not realising that they spoke to different versions of the Doctor) casually compared how their conversations went, one said that Dottore was dismissive while the other said he was all smiles.

The people who work for him are ridiculously dedicated, the fungi event with that one guy who for some reason - thought that a device that controls fungi would impress Dottore, he did all that to earn his recognition. (It would have been more impressive if the device controlled literally ANYTHING besides fungi, but eh whatever) Note: The guy has said in CN expressively something along the lines of "beloved/dear" lord, not the direct translation but it was affectionate.

Then there's that one dude who stayed behind after the (failed) aranara lure experiments, I don't remember much about him but I don't think he said anything bad about Dottore, other than saying that he had stayed behind because he felt responsibility to take care of the kids after subjecting them into a mission like that.

Cut to the two Fatui peeps on Mondstadt who gush about him after the Sumeru quest, and I'm pretty sure we met another fatui dude in the desert who decided to go against orders and go the extra mile of attempting to kidnap desert dwellers to present as test subjects to again - impress Dottore. I think this was a Jeht quest?

Oh, and in the manwha, it's briefly mentioned that Dottore does reward efforts handsomely.

Tldr:

Fanon - Dottore is cruel, he terrifies everyone who works under him and they always walk around eggshells with him.

Canon: Dottore gives high reward for efforts, he has too many simps that sings him praises and they're literally scrambling to be in the same room as him.

Conclusion, we need more dottore simps in fan content. Because not only is it more accurate, but its also funnier for Dottore to be followed by a hoard of fans.

ALRIGHT YOU HAVE ME THERE... I went back and reread the dialogue for the agents for when Dottore was leaving and phew you're right, lol now that i realize it's pretty entertaining!!

But now i have questions. How many agents know that Dottore has segments? The ones that do know, are they not allowed to spread this...? I'd think the news would be all over the recruits but I guess not. And I guess these segments are ridiculously similar physically/appearance wise too. 😭 And the ones that don't know, do they just think their Harbinger has multiple different personalities or something?? I need more NPCs talking about Dottore.

ELCHIGEN. THE FUNGI NPC GUY WAS SO FUNNY. I still have screenshots of when he spoke about Dottore omg, bro was DEDICATED. Literally created a whole scheme and put his life on the line just to get Dottore to notice him... i respect the energy tbh. I do wonder why he loved Dottore so much in the first place, i really think there's a lot more to his character than we've seen firsthand. I also went back and reread the other stuff you mentioned on the wiki and omg 😭😭 i cant believe i forgot this stuff happened, it's been so long since Sumeru 😭 it's so funny to think about how they're piling more crimes on themselves just for Dottore 😭 i wonder if he's aware of how favorable these agents view him?

Though I do think it may differ from segment to segment. Krupp was pretty scared of Webttore. It's also kind of funny to think people were more scared of Scaramouche than Dottore. 💀

You have me thinking many thoughts, and this has given me much brainrot, will keep in mind for future fics, i have been enlightened.

i just scrolled like pages and pages in the lotm tag just now. i'm about to cry. does this mean the fandom has finally gotten bigger?! i couldn't even count but there must have been over 200 new posts since i last came on here to look around, and that was only a couple months ago. i remember when i would look at the lotm tag, leave for a year, come back and only see 5 or less new posts. this is crazy. this has been my favorite series for years and i'm so deliriously happy! 2025 is the year of the fool. donghua, official physical english license, code mysteries. praise you who lives about the gray fog. praise you mr.fool. and praise all of you new fans!! really looking forward to this year y'all 🥹

The letter that comes into Byleth's... Advice column today, in the lone hours of the night, is an odd one. The handwriting is neat, but has an undeniable frantic edge, as if it were written in a mad hurry.

The words are written in a peculiar vertical direction, as if the writer hadn't been familiar with Fódlan's style of writing, and they read as following:

i confess to being loathe to resort to this. throughout my life i have sought every way imaginable to end or even so much as reduce this pain, but none have worked. thusly... i hope that this message reaches one who can understand my anguish. i am a deeply sick individual. i can scarcely remember a time where i have not been tormented by my sickness, by these urges rooted deep in my chest. when i am away from battle, my body feels as if it is rotting — my blood goes inert from within me. but when i take my sword in my hand, i am taken over by a vicious and wild hunger, one that i cannot hope to surpress. i fight both to hone my blade, and to prevent that selfsame blade from writing a tragedy in blood as it has in the past: Mine, others. i do not write this hoping for validation. i understand the path i walk is one most cannot stomach, but i have walked it for far too long to stop. perhaps... i am afraid of what will happen if i do. i know the whole of my body is a weapon — even my heart. all i ask is to be told that someone understands this pain, that i

[the last few words look a bit smudged]

am not a murderer.

...There's no name anywhere on the parchment. It's too low-quality to have been sourced from anywhere in the monastery itself — Perhaps somewhere in town — But other than that and the writing style, it's going to be hard to trace down the original sender.

Dear Anonymous,

Allow me to start by saying the following: While perhaps not entirely the same, I can to a degree understand what you’re feeling. However..

Your anguish is a sign of your humanity. I formerly was a man whose trade was death, often likened to a demon. A weapon meant to do nothing but take lives, who felt nothing and loved nothing. I believed those sentiments for a time, but that has changed. Someone very dear to me said something, that to this day I still think about.

Those who can fight and take lives without a hint of remorse, they are monsters. But you yourself mentioned that you strengthen yourself because you wish to prevent tragedy. You call your urge a sickness, implying you wish it to be gone.

Those are not the words of a heartless murderer. Not of a fiend, not of a monster. That sorrow and anguish, they are the mark of a man. I don’t know if that will bring comfort, but please remember that.

I have mentioned that I used to be viewed as a demon, yes? This changed when I met people and found new passions. It was my connection to my family, my friends and my students that saved me from the title that once held my heart in a vice.

If you isolate yourself, your sorrow is all you’ll be able keep for company. Give a chance to the people you love. The people that love you. It is through connection that we can overcome our struggles and fears. If you can find it in yourself to open your heart, you’ll change in unimaginable ways. Believe me, I know.

I’ll hope that your heart can someday be healed, I wish you the best.

I asked my mom if I could stay home to work on her present and naturally she automatically starts saying I have weak faith and am in dangerous territory and basically I'm a godless heathen and this is exactly why I don't talk to her about my faith (or lack thereof, I guess)

I don’t know who needs to hear it, but go and read Psalms 27:14, friend. The drought you’ve been in is coming to an end.
