@mememe_illust 5️⃣This is also why I believe the glasses-wearing segment should be the 45-year-old one. I had to split my entire reply into separate messages, so I've numbered them in order. I hope this doesn't affect your reading. (bows)"
@mememe_illust Reading the new artifact text gives me a certain feeling — the 35-year-old segment comes across like he's trying hard to perform, desperately eager to prove himself: 'I'm a heretic, and I'm happy about it,' almost afraid that others might suspect he's not doing well,
@mememe_illust 4️⃣His attire becomes simple and elegant, with most ornaments removed. He truly no longer cares about what the world thinks of him — because he has found people who genuinely understand him."
@mememe_illust 3️⃣no longer needing the beak-shaped mask to signal his incompatibility with the mundane, no longer needing restraints to hint at his suppressed madness. Instead, he devotes himself wholeheartedly to the research he loves.
@mememe_illust 2️⃣Dottore has found true friends and kindred spirits. So at this point, he seems to have become happier and more at ease. He sheds the outward markers that the 35-year-old clung to — no longer needing a mask to declare his disgust with the false world,
@mememe_illust 1️⃣wanting to announce his high spirits to the whole world.
But the 45-year-old Dottore — his career is thriving, he's in his prime, his partner has been promoted to Harbinger, and their collaboration is smooth and harmonious.
@mememe_illust In this image, you can clearly see the fine lines under the eyes that are the same as Pantalone's — consistent with a physical age of around 45.
@mememe_illust "Of course, feel free to post it — it would be my honor! As for the 'Heterochromatic Tree Marrow,' I read the Chinese version of the text. It doesn't mention that No. 25 actively disguised himself as No. 35; it seems more like he was accidentally mixed up with No. 35."
@mememe_illust "In the tree marrow text, it mentions that Rooster once mixed up No. 25 and No. 35, to the point where he thought one of them had gone to the cafeteria for two consecutive meals. Among the segments, the most similar pair are Omega and the one wearing the coat.."
@mememe_illust The new artifact text mentions that when the Doctor's original body was 40 years old, he wore glasses, and his appearance and temperament are both closer to the glasses-wearing fragment. I was wondering what your thoughts are on this."
@mememe_illust Hello, sensei. We have another speculation: the fragment wearing glasses might actually be 45, while the fragment wearing a mask and a coat might actually be 25.
