I think I'm obsessed with making these. Winston and Julia!
I'd dont believe people are born evil
Only his haki and his devil fruit powers had allowed him to survive his flight from Mary Geoise. The blood drops along his strings, the way the guards fell to his waves of haki– he'd always remember those things. And every use of his powers sharpened them. He'd hidden on one of the huge tribute ships leaving the sacred land, and fled that ship too as soon as it had made landfall..
Running through the alleyways of the unfamiliar island he found himself on, Doflamingo knocked out some men, and stole the coin in their pockets. He spent it on a nervous meal, and passage on a merchant ship back to the North Blue.
There was nowhere else for him to go.
Doflamingo had stayed with Trebol, Diamante, Pica and Corazon for three days while they looked for his brother. Searching and waiting and hoping for his return. Even sick with worry for Rosi, those three days had been the happiest he remembered since being pulled from Mary Geoise. It wasn't only the good food, and the comfortable bed, and care for his wounds, though all of those would still have been enough to make it so.
It was the way they treated him; enjoyed his company, praised him, seemed to actually like having him around. After so long being told that everything he did was wrong– when he stole food for Rosi it was 'wrong to steal', when he tried to defend them it was 'wrong to hurt others'-- it was a sharp relief to feel understood. To feel accepted.
Bold, flamboyant Diamante talked to him like an adult and had shown him a better way to hold a knife. Friendly, forthright Corazon had shared his cigarettes– though Doffy quickly learned he didn't like the way too much made his head spin– and talked with him all the time. Quiet, determined Pica never stopped looking for Doffy's brother. And soft, crafty Trebol lavished him with attention and praise, listening to all his thoughts and troubles and giving his advice while brushing his hair, taking care of his wounds, even bathing him.
If Doffy could never go home– if he had lost everything, miserable, and cast out— he wanted to go back to that. He wanted to go back to them, where he was loved and accepted and treated like a person, instead of like a demon or a naughty child.
It was all he wanted, and the thought that he could have it— the hope that they would still be there when he arrived— was the first thing that sustained him from despair on his lonely voyage.
The second thing was his burning, ceaseless rage.

dorian only thinks his portrait is beautiful because he sees it as a depiction of his fleeting youth and identity, but the truth is the portrait is actually a reflection of basil, the artist, who put too much of himself in it. it’s not dorian who is beautiful, but rather basil’s pure love for him, which in turn is a reflection of basil’s soul and true nature. by loving dorian, and embracing his love through art without shame, basil has created the most precious thing, even if it is fleeting. much like romance, all art is quite useless, but it touches the human spirit nonetheless, and that’s important
Why are they like this??? How was he planking that hard? Why did Luffy carry him like a skateboard
