With the recent reveal of what happen to the real Zandik, I have come to bless you, Quiet, with a new yandere au idea.
Zandik!MC, but he are a kind soul that didn't have barely any knowledge on Genshin Imoact before he reincarnated, and did their own thing.
They were what Canon Zandik wasn't. Kind, gentle, a man who wanted to help people... but the Akidemiya of the past had a habit of screwing people over, and somehow Zandik!MC ends up being kicked out like his canon counterpart.
Still, he continued taking a different route than canon Dottore by instead NOT joining the Fatui, as he never got the offer in the first place, and instead focused on his own personal projects while also acting as a doctor on the side.
He still ends up creating his segments and treats them as his 'children' and own people, and this alone has consequences years down the line.
I mean, if you've seen the recent Dottore lore drop in the recent update, you know the real Dottore died. Died at 85, and his segments did some not so nice things to his dying body.
If you know, you know-
But that doesn't happen here. Zandik!MC notices his body had slowly began to start to fail him, so he ends up telling his 'children' he was retiring, and while they were mostly understanding at first... his 'children' began to panic.
They didn't want their father! Their literal Creator to die because of mortal weakness!
So they decided to take drastic measures. Thos drastic measures? They took an old, dying Zandik!MC and sealed him away in statis, keeping him in a permanent life and death state until they managed to figured out how to revert his body back to a more healthy state... which they do, but still, he was kept in statis.
Because there was still things that needed to be done, and the Segments couldn't do it all on their own... so they turned to the Fatui.
...PS, yes, the Segments are Platonic Yanderes for their 'father', Zandik!MC. Feel free to add more Yanderes to this idea if you wish~
Holy- 👀
Zandik!MC? And he's nice? Kind? Never joined the Fatui? Treated his Segments like they were his kids? Ahhhh! I LOVE this idea you have going here, anon! 🤩
And the Segments being Platonic Yandere freaks for their 'Father' is absolute gold.
This actually makes me imagine they're all so possessive over Zandik!MC they never told the other Harbingers or even the Tsaritsa about Zandik!MC.
Like they keep him tightly sealed, in statis, and somewhere private, where not even the gods can see.
They were still in the process of making the perfect body for their 'father', and research was going well, and by the time the 6.6 update came around, it was decided that it this was the perfect time for Zandik!MC to finally wake up in his new body.
But again, this would take place in the middle of the 6.6 update, and Zandik!MC is just all confused, scared, mostly VERY confused, because where was he, what was happening, and-
Why was that massive tree on fire?! Where were his 'kids'?! What did they do?!
Ooohhh boy, once he hears about all the shit his 'kids' had done, he is going to be so mad! Man is about to break out a dendro infused sandal and beat the shit out of all his segments.
Like we don't experiment on children, we don't cause mass chaos in various nations, and we certainly don't run off and try to become a God, you idiot sons of his!
Also, as for romantic yandere love interests... can I have some help here? I know Pantalone would be one once he met the REAL 'Doctor', but who else...
Another thing... not me hc that Zandik!MC has long hair after he wakes up. Long hair, beautiful Zandik!MC, anyone? Hm? What say you?
