The text doctor fandom is very cool and has many very cool characters
But its been "dead" for so long thats its become a really niche thing
And because its a niche thing I am
Very afraid
Like what if I make a text doctor that sucks ass and all 10-20 or so people in the community just start hating me and my text doctor
And once the thing blows up and becomes popular and whenever someone mentions me or my fella the veterans of the community are immediately aggrivated by my existence
Fuck I know I may just be overthinking it but I am really stressing out over this

Some context: Text Doctors are a collection of Tumblr-based RP blogs featuring plague doctors made out of ASCII symbols with their own unique lore, they're mostly variants of the first one to don the title, Doctor Screech, a eldritch monster who hails from the abyss and landed in a world of violet occupied by walking fungal-infected-corpses and other such nasties.

It started out like any other day, with 17 year old James (A.K.A "Jay Phobia") P███ was taking a walk in Washington, D.C. when he found something impossible, an ancient supercomputer buried beneath the city. Digging into it day after day, he uncovered research tied to a forgotten god: Doctor Screech, the deity of language, speech, and forbidden knowledge.
Obsessed, Jay set out to recreate the legendary urban myth Polybius, he was building a recreation of the arcade legend, but added a new twist, a plague doctor boss, symbolizing the sickness the game was rumored to spread. When he connected the game to the supercomputer, something awakened. A entity born from the magic residue Screech left behind and mangled poorly optimized code, this entity was dubbed JOTA.
Since then, Jay hasn’t been the same. Plagued by visions of JOTA on every screen, prone to bursts of violence, he eventually vanished into the depths of the bunker, he returned to it and struck the supercomputer again and again, but after a power surge knocked him unconscious, he awoke in a realm that was a fusion of magic and data, a realm he named Cyberspace.
Now, with JOTA's power, he runs a cursed arcade, a front for an experiment to study the entities lurking within the digital void.

OUTSIDE -
A vast, black expanse, adorned with grid-patterned green lines and shrouded mountains that conceal Circuitboard City. Green floating stairs serve as the arcade entrance, the space under the arcade leading to an underground subway entry point for access to Circuitboard City.
J:\\ CIRCUITBOARD CITY \\\\
helped by @just-hyper-active
The cyber-city sprawls beyond the mountains, initially visible like a distant skybox. However, the true nature of this place is revealed when you journey there through the Subway, unlocking Circuitboard City in it's fullest. Jay shelters entties amidst the skyscrapers, surrounded by advertisements for JOTA's Arcade.
J:\\ ARCADE INTERIOR \\\\
Inside the arcade, a extension of JOTA's twisted persona unfolds with moving wall patterns and nonsensical floors. Rows of cabinets, a prize corner, and a maintenance room entrance mark the journey. As one ascends towards JOTA's office, the rooms defy Euclidean logic, with unconventional door placements, and other such glitchy mishaps.
J:\\ JOTA'S OFFICE \\\\
JOTA's office, a dark green room adorned with silver accents. A faux bird rug lies in the center, and a dark green desk bears a lunatic's scribbles. Nearby stands a simple polygon statue of a pixelated emerald-textured plague doctor. Wall sketches depict a green heart with expansive wings and stylized plague doctors drawn from simple lines and shapes. Above, a mounted skull with a "GAME OVER - JOTAPHOBIA" plaque completes the room.
J:\\ JAY'S BEDROOM \\\\
Jay's bedroom, features a beanbag bed, the sole Sega Genesis in the arcade ever since a run-in with Sonic.EXE himself, Sonic posters, and invisible ink-laden posters of the other text doctors, the Cade Crew, and Jay himself. The dark green room houses a simple stand with drawers, holding obscure games, and a basic TV. This room is to the right of the office hallway.
J:\\ SUIT JUNGLE \\\\
Behind the curtains of the throne room lies the enigmatic Suit Jungle, featuring towering, unreachable arcade cabinets and one of them stands far above the rest, displaying myriad copies of JOTA's suit, glaring at whoever roams by, amid twisted metal trees and digital leaves, static falls like water and error messages are the closest thing to clouds, more copies of the suit are found crawling around, acting as birds, glitching green messages, seemingly written by Jay himself adorn the place's floors and walls.

EXE
Jay first encountered Sonic.EXE, also known as "X," during an event called Incident X. This voidspawn manifested itself as Sonic The Hedgehog and attempted to claim Jay's soul. The encounter took place fashionably late at JOTA's arcade, following the Halloween EXE Takeover in 2023. Since then, X has been engaging in periodic battles with Jay's suit.
X derives pleasure from toying with human souls, leaving Jay concerned about how long he can keep the entity amused before facing potential death. In the aftermath of the incident, Jay discovered the existence of other entities similar to X, collectively referred to as "EXEs"
ok I need someone to give me a tidbit of wisdom. I wanna add a barber-surgeon to the mariner'screw, but idk if I should make their face look like a text doc, a surgeon, or a diving helmet like the mariner
