I haven't seen anyone point out how The Simurgh (from Persian mythology) relates to #zandik so i might as well do it myself (shorter thread from my tumblr post)

@Devils5lut Someone else pointed it out, I wasn't aware it existed already. This is just a theory for fun because he has lots of parallels, nothing too serious :)

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

@TomateFrito10 Thank you!! If you add this to the amazing theories relating to alchemy + the temple of space one, i think this is very solid evidence he's not dead

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

@mishrillette Very true, i just had absolutely no idea she was even in the lore, I looked it up only from the irl history. Tysm for telling me though!!

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

@mishrillette I have no idea how i haven't come across that in genshin, really. I suppose you could argue the simurgh is still a divine bird, and dottore is just a man trying to mimick that. I'm not too sure on that though, I didn't even know the simurgh existed in genshin </3

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

@FearTehk That's very fair! To be fair i'm also not an expert, I just looked it up during my free time and found lots of similar things, so I wanted to share. If someone wants to correct me, they should do that actually

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

@mishrillette Which also feels mocking, in a way. I know the colour Persian Blue (which he seems to wear a lot) was also used in mosques, to represent the heavens. He has many allusions to gods and divinity even while being known as the heretic

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

@mishrillette Oh i had absolutely no idea! Dottore also has similarities to Thoth, maybe they're giving him parallels to all of the gods, not just the Simurgh? Maybe it's to drive home the fact he's a heretic, yet still somehow tries to become a god in his own way

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

@mishrillette I've read a little about the Pari while I was finding this, and the fact they have been associated with "demons" was interesting, but I haven't found other relations (as far as I know they're mostly female). If you have more info i would be happy to hear it!!

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

@SkyYaps I'm very happy you like it <3

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

@nemohew I agree! Though you truly never know where hoyo could draw inspiration from, so it's interesting to see all the theories! I am however a persian dottore truther so I had to look into it myself

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

@D0TT0R3 ONG he'll come back he's hoyoverse's cockroack

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

@gothttore Thank you envy youre the kindest person ever envy. You bring joy to parties

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

So far I haven't seen anyone else point this out, it seems pretty fitting, and I wouldn't put it past hoyo to make a reference like that

[ghostbird @timidghostbird]

If Omega is the last, Alpha is the first (in this case it would be Zandik), it would fit in perfectly. Omega is the last to die by fire, all the segments merge into the original, Zandik
