#until then. im gonna obsess over silco

[ellalalala]

Just thought about Dottore for the first time in weeks (lol) and I remembered something I always found funny: the fact that Dottore returned to Sumeru and willingly worked with the sages to make a God out of Scaramouche when he could have done that by himself just fine. He's the Second of the Eleven Harbingers, so he could quite literally do whatever he wanted; but it's the fact that he cooperated with them despite his history with the Akademiya. He put on a somewhat cordial front for them, which Scaramouche clearly thought was ironic ("ever wonder what they'd think if they knew that nothing matters to you apart from your crazy experiments?"), which apparently was completely out of line for poor ol' Dottore - how could the measly puppet expose his true nature in front of the sages? I mean, think about how he introduced himself to us - before the entrance to the Akademiya, donning clothes reminiscent of the style in his homeland; he clearly still wants to belong, perhaps whilst knowing that he never will. In simpler terms: Dottore thinks that he's won the idgaf war when he has actually been losing it very slowly for five hundred years.
