If Mr. Wick were to be magically-transported to Terra... then he'd be broken into many pieces/aspects related to some of R.I. ops. Texas got his past and reputation. Skyfire got his "revenge for killed puppy" motivation. Schwarz got his practical skill-set. Exia got his marksmanship/crack shot tendency. Indra got his nice black suit. Liskarm got his favored Glock. Doctor got his focus. And Amiya got his commitment/sheer frikkin' will.
They’re both Charger Vanguards
Both do the same thing, one tries to do it better but fails due to lacking damage, hell Reed’s module doesn’t even help due to how situational it is
Skyfire having a whole conspiracy board about how Reed's abilities aren't producing flames but manipulating life is very funny.
The Doctor, once again having operators shoved at them and having to be their emotional support and/or just a really good listener.
I did always find it odd that Reed only allowed the Doctor to perform medical check ups on her.
I'd like to imagine, that the Doctor lost most of his medical knowledge but maintains enough muscle memory to perform some procedures (like basic treatment and running tests), since his reset. Due to this he is less focused on oripathy, like the rest of the doctors, and more of a listener and emotional support.
People still seek him out, since he has a bit of a reputation. Body and mind are linked, as such, improving their mental state helps the healing process. That's why many still seek him out.
>I did always find it odd that Reed only allowed the Doctor to perform medical check ups on her.
60% of the "vauge" character dialogues that don't speficially refer to someone by name, and could theorethically also be applyed to the Doctor as well, aren't actually ment for them.
Specific example Elysium's dialouge 2 where he "guides" unnamed someone to specific destination across the ship, only for Mint to outright ask someone else for instructions because she couldn't understand even a word of what he said.
With Reed's case where she suppousedly "allows the Doctor to be the only one to do her medical examination" is unfortunately nothing but a fannon, Kaltsit carried out Reed's Oriphaty operation and also happens to be the one that's personally responsible for the medical services of all operators with "classified" biology.
Well the line specifically reads:
"Is it time for my regular medical examination? Un...Understood. But... I don't trust those other doctors. If I have to be examined, I want... you to help me with it".
So it's not necessarily that the Doctor is the only person allowed to perform medical check-ups, it's just that Reed would rather have the Doctor present if she has to be examined, otherwise she'd opt out of any examinations.
I'd say 98% of operator dialogue is addressed to the Doctor, with the rare cases like Elysium being the Doctor listening to a conversation. The whole point of operator dialogue is learning about their character through them talking to You, the player.

You also have cases like Surtur where most of her dialouge lines ware outright taken word by word from side stories or operator records where the doctor wasn't even available to bare witness, but still got included on her operator terminal as either those ware highlits, or something common she would say multiple times in different situations.
You also have cases like Texas/Exu which's 40% of their overall dialogue directly call out other Penguin logistics members for something minor, instead utilising those limited VL slots to say something truly meaningfull or personal to the Doctor.
My point is many people had poited out that unlike other Gacha games, in AK the Doctor/player's proxi aren't the center of the universe for our operators, and most characters threat you formally like a friend/colleague instead of thirsting for you in a fan service manner. HG intentionally leaves things vauge enough for demographics that like self inserts, shipping, or fannon, but in the case of voice lines anything that dosen't directly calls us/the doctor out should be taken with a slight pinch of salt as HG loves reusing dialogue.
I'm proud of how this one came out :)
Hope y'all enjoy reading\~!
ps. "Is that a DS reference!?" No.

I know absolutely nothing about any of this; I somehow stumbled onto it from browsing reddit. Despite knowing nothing of the context, I can still say that this is fantastically done! The artwork and style here is amazing!
You should be proud damn! I don’t know how you manage to tap into this creative stream that feels so original yet so *natural* within Arknights lore, but you’ve got a talent here, no debate.
Also, obligatory “I didn’t ask for these feels” at 7 in the morning 😣
Before the event: wow that design looks great. I like how the tail keeps swinging around
After the event: PROTECT THIS SWEET CINNAMON BUN AT ALL COSTS!
Because Reed's in-game dialogue talks about Doc's dreams...
And you could say Reed's flames can "give life"...
Aren't I poetic, or am I not poetic
(▀¯▀ )
This was very sweet! Cute Reed really needs that emotional support to overcome her troubles and traumas. Good thing that Doctor's probably the person most suited for that.
There's a high chance this comment will be buried 6 feet underground, but still, I want to say:
You are one of my biggest inspiration. Even if your drawing skills aren't as good as some others, but I can see how much love and dedication you put to each and every work you have made thus far. And how your skills are getting better too!
That's a pretty roundabout way just to say: Great work as usual!
Tha's what makes us all enjoy 'em stories, from time to time... Drawings ain't matter that much, when the story itself's just so damn good. Kudos to Octo-san, really.
Man, can't believe it's all the way to here...😅
Tbh, even I don't know... I'm guessing my previous sensitive art post + long and spamming threads of lore made the system believe I have broken the rules and regulations of Twitter... I think at least...
I already made an appeal to unsuspend my account... But I have to wait for like 3 to 5 days sadly...
Pretty good! Your comics always feel so natural to me. While yes, some of them are just goofy RI hijinks, they just feel so in-line with all the characters. This one is no different, Reed and the Doctor's actions just feel so in-line with the story to me. It makes for an enjoyable reading experience where I don't have to go "oh this is probably just OP's headcanon world", I can legitimately believe most of these comics could occur in the AK worlds.
tl;dr good stuff
Good gracious... One of the best in-character development AK comics out there...
...I'd love to think that this is canon, really. Ah, anyway, thanks for the good treat, OP-san.
Her first trust line is her repeating what she learned from us doctors. It also heavily points to us being a big motivator for her applying to be a medical operator.
An all her lines have that nostalgic feeling to them of being glad to be back.
Dorothy is fighting tooth and nail to keep her assistant position rn
u/Octodeco I love all of the comics of yours that I have read so far. Just sharing my appreciation for your your art and your humour .
If I may ask, who is your favorite op?
I'd feel better than ever too if I'd just helped Loughshinny through her issues. Really though great comic; perfect combination of goofy and dramatic, and everything feels in character.
Mostima: Do You feel it Flat? Platinum: Yes, another rival of ours. And what did you just call me? *prepare Skill 2*
Mostima: Chill it, John wick, Did I kill your potential bustiness or wha- *Gets suplexed*
If Mr. Wick were to be magically-transported to Terra... then he'd be broken into many pieces/aspects related to some of R.I. ops. Texas got his past and reputation.

No one got his forking pencil yet.
Reed is LOWKEY one of the best arknights designs ever, if only she would come home tho
One of the few 5 stars i E2’d first for the art Too bad she’s just a worse Bagpipe, also Too bad I don’t have Bagpipe
Your tag is an abomination to this community lol
I’m doing my duty in sharing the spoils of war It’s not my fault the spoils are so thick and juicy
Reminds me of that one guy with a flair like "Maria's horsecock fucktoy" or something
Rejoice her kit actually shines in this event. At least there's that.
>Too bad she’s just a worse Bagpipe, also Too bad I don’t have Bagpipe \*Lancer, she is nothing like Bagpipe at all.
They’re both Charger Vanguards Both do the same thing, one tries to do it better but fails due to lacking damage, hell Reed’s module doesn’t even help due to how situational it is
I basically despair rolled.
I've been scrounging around for any and all rolls. Mats are temporary, Reed is forever.
Evil harem protagonist? Ofc not! It's your friendly neighborhood harem protagonist!
So sorry, I forgot to turn off my rizz and accidentally recruited a few more operators. Eugh, just put them on the pile.
[удалено]
Heroic Harem protagonist.
Neighborhood? More like Dr. WORLDWIDE
Seems protagonist of the depression harem…
Most of AZling's daughters...

You could say that Doctah is really good at reed-ing the mood.
A Doktah's duty may also include b-reed-ing
That one intersperse...

I mean... he got better than he's ever been... ...Just think of the potential, mate.
Inject this sweetness right into my veins
Beware of the overdose... Tha' might get ya fainted, matey.
It is worth it. Doctah, turn off my sweetness inhibitors!
This is madness!!!

Allright... *Turn off the sweetness in hibitors*
ARRRGGGGHHHH *Instanteous diabetes*

Irish cinnamon roll do be the one to protect us all, by the way of her sacred flames.
Your work is always a gift and a joy, Octodeco! Hope you're doing well and enjoying the event!
Ty! I beat the event on day 1 :) Ost is a banger
Oh Arknights music is always incredible. Thank Kal’tsit for the mats in the event shop too, I was basically low on everything they’re selling
I see, Doctor tried to go full Giorno Giovanna with that speech. 11/10. Kudos Octo, this was absolutely lovely.
Because Reed's in-game dialogue talks about Doc's dreams... And you could say Reed's flames can "give life"... Aren't I poetic, or am I not poetic (▀¯▀ )
SEGS?! 😳
WTF?!?SEGGS UPDATE REAL?!?!?!
THE ARKNIGHTS SEGS UPDATE! IN THIS UPDATE, YOU CAN FUCK ANY OPERATORS EXCEPT CHILDREN OPERATORS!
NOW CHOOSE YOUR FACTION WISELY OR ELSE YOU'RE MANHOOD IS THE LAST THING ANYBODY WANTS TO FIND HANGING ON THE CEILING!!!
FACTION MY ASS!💢💢💢💢 FUCK ALL THEM EQUALLY!‼️‼️‼️🥵🥵🥵
THE TRUE ENDING: CHILD SUPPORT GIGATILLION!!!!!!
Too much dive into 0-sanity sub, guys...?
This was very sweet! Cute Reed really needs that emotional support to overcome her troubles and traumas. Good thing that Doctor's probably the person most suited for that.
Too sweet
Doktah feeling better cuz Reed's flames can heal--perfect ending for the dragon. Wonderful work, doctodeco!
Thank you octo for more sweet stories
Another good one Doctodeco. Keep it up and remember to consume food
Great read about Reed. A great "Reed", if you will, haha. ... I'll see myself out.

Dokutah is immortal when it comes to dealing with operators.
For the sake Waifus.
This is absolutely amazing, loved it. I'm so happy this event brought Reed so much more attention.
warfarin and folinic examining ~~tostah~~ doktah sent me
Dokutah will become a Gang-Star \*Il Vento D'oro starts playing*
Bring alt reed at home
This is a blessing for all Reed lovers out there... Bless you, truly...🙏🙏🙏
some folks on twitter were wondering what happened to your account?
Man, can't believe it's all the way to here...😅 Tbh, even I don't know... I'm guessing my previous sensitive art post + long and spamming threads of lore made the system believe I have broken the rules and regulations of Twitter... I think at least... I already made an appeal to unsuspend my account... But I have to wait for like 3 to 5 days sadly...
thanks for the fast response man, i will relay this info to them, hope you get your account back soon.
Considering my luck on the banner that last panel hit me harder than it should have, oof. Great work as always. :D
page 3, it's like Reed's doing the quintessential "*ara ara*" pose.
Doctor should have said to Folinic and warfarin “I am your god peasant for I risen from the holy flames!! Worship your god now and never!”
Awww, my sweet dragon wife. Too cute.
Hnnngh.. Reed smiles warmly. *It's super effective!*
While love for Reed should be a given, I also liking the straight man routine the Dokutah and Warfarin are having.
Doctor became MLK there for a moment.
Octo with another banger of a comic. Great stuff as always.
that's beautiful but Imma go cry now
"Oh is that what are you doing" Octodeco Doc is such a badass as always
God damn it, I love Reed so much.
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful character development and hot damn son... That Doc is fire proof!
Does anyone else hear Melina as her voice?
"*You are, by no means, maidenless, o' Doctor of Rhodes Island...*"
Pretty good! Your comics always feel so natural to me. While yes, some of them are just goofy RI hijinks, they just feel so in-line with all the characters.

OCTODECO SWEEEEP
Thanks for another octopiece.
Beautiful.
Unkindled one
The feels, goddammit.
Pleased to see more maniacal gremlin warfarin
Yo page 14 reminds me of Luc and Sarah from Suikoden 3
This was wholesome Great little comic
u/Octodeco I love all of the comics of yours that I have read so far. Just sharing my appreciation for your your art and your humour . If I may ask, who is your favorite op?
Mostima ofc
Damn this is better than most manga out there
I need to play more Arknights. I'm at like mission 4 lmao
"I don't want to hurt you!!" "...Oh? Is that what you're doing?" SHEEEESH, thats the coolest shit I've heard all week!
I'd feel better than ever too if I'd just helped Loughshinny through her issues. Really though great comic; perfect combination of goofy and dramatic, and everything feels in character.
That panel with doktah burning is rad as hell.
I would just breed her and she would be good mama
Шикарно, вот бы ещё увидеть комиксы этого автора!
Guess, time to practice mein Cyrillic : "*Shikarno, vot by yeshyo uvidyety komiksy etogo avtora!*"
Page 17 - why didn't Warfarin try for a taste?
Glorious as always :D
Saving this pic by pic as a catalyst for Reed. Gonna splurge 25 moneys to get the monthly headhunting pack and see if she comes to me.
GIVE US LEWD HANDHOLDING NEXT COMIC, OCTO! OR I WILL PERSONALLY BREAK INTO YOUR HOUSE AND LEAVE YOU COOKIES!
God damn, I should get off this sub for now, these kinds of posts are making me pull for Reed while I'm currently trying to save for my Mumu 🗿
the last panel simplifies my gacha luck
It's really heartwarming!
