Yes... This is my brain's attempt to explain the dragon motifs in Pantalone's design. And the fact that treasures are always guarded by dragons. They are also a natural force opposing the gods and the celestial order. Yes. It would take centuries to rise one. But... He had time.
There is a dragon in the Northland Bank. But it's not Pantalone. It's his daughter. A small creature with duckling syndrome. She was born in the bank's treasury and thinks Pantalone is a big dragon. And her mom. (Papa!) They look similar.
She very protective one. And biters.
Yes, she is Dottolone daughter. And Feofan had hard times not to raise another mad scientist. But someone who will bring money to the family budget. (For little dragon money is an abstract concept and a funny family game. But still...) Somehow he succeeded.
@obsessedfish I think the Zandik was simply too lazy to give him a face. Like the older segments the eyes. And so Pantalone would always know which was the segment and which was the original. To avoid misunderstandings. Also blue = peace. Red = obsession.
@hime_side@cumplane_air Кхм. Сейчас открою большой секрет, но настоящий бдсм это не про подчинение и дисбаланс власти. То что для постороних выглядит как извращение на самом деле про иследование своих желаний и доверие к партнеру на очень глубоком уровне. (В комиксе Sunstone об этом хорошо расказано.)
Sacrifice himself for the sake of humanity. To deceive Celestia. (And himself.) Like the Hydro Archon did. Break fate. The reversed Hermit. Lovers and death. (It was never about Columbine. ) When the whole truth is revealed. His game version will be a whole soul. Completed.
I just realized... We were waiting for the lobotomized #Dottore. But! We were actually dealing with him. The Omega segment was incomplete because of Zandik. But Zandik himself was an incomplete soul from the very beginning. Broken at the core for a greater purpose.
If #Pantolone somehow survives and becomes playable, one of his animations: He takes out a cigarette and tries to light it, but a white crow quickly flies out of nowhere, steals his cigarette, destroys it and perches on his shoulder, looking at him with a disapproving gaze. Shigh
and fueled his hatred for the Original. (Time is my weapon. I will wait.) And when faced with a choice between Pantalone and saving himself, of course he (And others) chose Pantalone — So that he would stayed with them for centuries.
#Dottolone What if... For younger segments, Pantalone is simply a pleasant person. (They like him, but there is no love, yet.) In another case Omega (35) is a segment that, after years of isolation, met the love of their life and fell hard — but isn't in a relationship yet?
It also exacerbates the conflict between the true Zandik and Omega on a human level. Jealousy (Both) and Rejection. ("You aren't even human. Know your place!") This led to an even deeper dehumanization of Omega—who is denied love, and whose rival is his own self —
@necr0mantick Dude... This is not a symbol of heresy. It is the globus cruciger (all earthly blessings are in the hands of the Ruler). In some meanings, the one who holding this symbol (Christ) is called Salvator Mundi (Savior of the world).
