This is my main blog. If i followed you but never reblogged anything here then I most probably reblogged it on a side blog (or followed specifically for sideblog stuffs).
This blog is for memes and whatever else along with my scattered interests. I hardly ever tag here but lemme know if you need something specific tagged.
Im an adult (older than 20), keep that in mind. Im NB, and bi. Im latino so whatre you doing here if youre racist or something. Yes my english is fucked, everything i own is in spanish.
i’ve been stuck on this site since 2012 (god, let me free /J)
Again, ask me to tag and I will. Don't be an asshole and we good. Don't be a dick and we good. Just be decent.
As an older queer, allow me to say: the walls of the closet are load-bearing. It is our job as a community to stand in front of that door and tell everyone who wants to peek inside to fuck off.
There are so many reasons a person may choose not to come out and there is no reason a person would owe the public or a stranger that information. Certainly it's not owed simply because someone is famous.
We have fought for decades to make it safer for people to be open and authentic about themselves, but we are not yet there. And even if we were, the closet would still be something we need to maintain for those who are not ready to reveal that part of themselves.
I love this website I can make the most normal possible post and still get replies from alternate realities. what are cheeks made out of in your world plasma?
what you've never patted your laptop affectionately after a reboot fixed the Issue? never hugged your phone in relief that the screen survived a fall uncracked? never held a tablet to your quivering bosom bc the fic was just that good? puh-lease
still fucks me up what a bad rap coyotes get in peoples eyes. like ive talked to people who see em as like. gross pests who should be culled. theyre literally just as cool as wolves just a lil smaller and less confident. i love them with all my heart to balance out all the coyote haters out there, coyotes rule theyre doing great
this post was so fucking funny I literally was just like “I like coyotes I think they’re cool” and so many people fucking hated it. Shut up I’m trying. To enjoy animal
An Exhaustive Examination of Corazon's Pre-Appearance Mentions and References
As most of us know, Donquixote "Corazon" Rosinante first appears at the start of Trafalgar Law's backstory chapters in the One Piece manga—chapter 761 to be precise. But Cora also has several mentions and references prior to 761.
Let's take a closer look at them! ♡ ︎
Pre-Timeskip - The Heart Pirates
Trafalgar Law’s crew name and association with hearts can be easily connected to Corazon, though at the time of Law’s introduction, there is no indication that this theme was inspired by another character. Oda likely didn't have Law’s exact history in mind way back in Sabaody (he did admit to designing all of the new supernova pirates in a rush, and was later surprised by Law’s overall popularity). Some kind of connection to Donquixote Doflamingo was plausible, at least, given the similarities of his and Law's Jolly Rogers.
♡ ︎
Chapter 666 - "I'm free to go wherever I wish."
This statement from Law during the Punk Hazard arc could be considered a very early reference to Corazon, the person Law credits for giving him such freedom. Oda probably didn’t have Corazon’s character or role fleshed out at this point, but it’s clear that Law is keenly aware of his independence and values it greatly. On re-read, this panel serves as a subtle foreshadowing of Law's cherished savior.
♡ ︎
Chapter 690 - Law's Trauma
In this scene, Doflamingo mocks Law for his Vergo-related trauma. It is not even hinted that a third party was involved in this incident, so we still can’t say if Oda had Corazon in mind yet. At this stage, readers can deduce that Law won his freedom from the Donquixote pirates and doesn’t intend to return to them. The “heart seat" having been saved for Law is also mentioned near the end of the Punk Hazard arc, casting Law as someone Doflamingo may see as a wayward son. Earlier discussion between Doflamingo and Vergo imply that Vergo and Law possessed a deeper familiarity than what is eventually written for Law's backstory. Interestingly, the traumatic incident Doflamingo alludes to ends up being directly related to Corazon. Thus, on the re-read, this line becomes another early reference.
♡ ︎
Chapter 704 SBS - Heart-themed tattoos
The Dressrosa arc is where Law’s distinctive chest tattoo makes its first canonical appearance. In the SBS (the manga's Q&A segment), Oda acknowledges the heart theme while playfully hinting at a deeper meaning. Corazon's role has likely been determined at this point, and Oda will now be gradually working toward the character's reveal, nearly sixty chapters later!
♡
Chapter 705 and on - The Corazon Jacket
Similar to Law's chest tattoo, his iconic Corazon jacket also makes its first appearance early in the Dressrosa arc. Oda acknowledges in SBS 768 that the jacket was custom-made as a tribute to Corazon.
♡
Chapter 724 - "Thirteen years ago"
A little further into the arc, it is revealed that Law actually seeks revenge on Doflamingo for a specific incident from thirteen years ago. A third party is not yet mentioned, but we now have a more specific time frame.
♡
Chapter 725 - "Someone's long-held desire"
Though he is not mentioned by name, Law finally makes a direct (and quite passionate) mention of the person whose goal he is trying to fulfill.
♡
Chapter 729 - "'The D will always cause another storm'!!!"
Near the end of Law and Doflamingo's battle on the bridge, Doflamingo asks why Law puts so much trust in the Straw Hat pirates, with whom Law has since formed an alliance. While Law's interest in the D initial is obvious (and could offer motivation for saving Monkey D. Luffy during the Marineford war), the words he imparts to Doflamingo are cryptic. It remains unclear what Law's personal connection to "D" is (in the manga, it has not yet been revealed that Law is a "D" himself) or who exactly he is quoting.
♡
Chapter 729 - "Cora-san...!!"
The first mention of Corazon by name comes in the form of Law's presumed dying thoughts after being shot by Doflamingo. Though, it is not the literal name "Corazon" but rather the nickname Law uses for him: Cora-san (the official English translation omits the honorific).
♡
Chapter 749 - "someone that I loved!!"
Twenty chapters after "Cora-san", more description is finally revealed. Law describes Cora as someone that he loved who was murdered by Doflamingo (explaining his motive for revenge), drops the codename "Corazon" (the same word that has been emblazoned on his jacket all this time), and divulges that Cora was a member of the Donquixote Family. Not only that, but he was even Doflamingo's younger brother!
♡
Chapter 752 - "I was saved!!"
In this scene, Law emphatically defends himself as Doflamingo insults his character. This is one of the first mentions of Law being "saved" by Corazon (after Law telling Luffy that Corazon "gave him his life"), as well as the first utterance of Corazon's name by Doflamingo.
♡
Chapter 760 - Doflamingo's memory
At the end of chapter 760, shortly before Law's backstory chapters begin, Doflamingo monologues about his early hardships. During this brief insight into his past, a panel that depicts the day of his mother's death is shown. On the bed, the silhouette of a small boy can be seen mourning. While not his true first appearance, it's the first official glimpse of Corazon!
♡
Chapter 761 - "The reason I'm alive"
A couple of panels before the backstory chapters begin, Law makes one more mention of his savior, stating that the reason he is alive now is because of Cora-san.
♡
Chapter 761 - Corazon's entrance (and what an entrance it was!)
And there you have it! I believe I found all the early references and mentions of Corazon in the manga, but if I missed anything, please let me know. Thank you for reading!! ♡♡♡
“[after a half-hearted suicide attempt at age 13] When Daddy comes in, he carries you to bed. Is there anything you feel like you could eat, Pokey? Anything at all? All you can imagine putting in your mouth is a cold plum, one with really tight skin on the outside but gum-shocking sweetness inside. And he and your mother discuss where he might find some this late in the season. Mother says hell I don’t know. Further north, I’d guess. The next morning, you wake up in your bed and sit up. Mother says, Pete, I think she’s up. He hollers in, You ready for breakfast, Pokey. Then he comes in grinning, still in his work clothes from the night before. He’s holding a farm bushel. The plums he empties onto the bed river toward you through folds in the quilt. If you stacked them up, they’d fill the deepest bin at the Piggly Wiggly. Damned if I didn’t get the urge to drive to Arkansas last night, he says. Your mother stands behind him saying he’s pure USDA crazy. Fort Smith, Arkansas. Found a roadside stand out there with a feller selling plums. And I says, Buddy, I got a little girl sick back in Texas. She’s got a hanker for plums and ain’t nothing else gonna do. It’s when you sink your teeth into the plum that you make a promise. The skin is still warm from riding in the sun in Daddy’s truck, and the nectar runs down your chin. And you snap out of it. Or are snapped out of it. Never again will you lay a hand against yourself, not so long as there are plums to eat and somebody-anybody-who gives enough of a damn to haul them to you. So long as you bear the least nibblet of love for any other creature in this dark world, though in love portions are never stingy. There are no smidgens or pinches, only rolling abundance. That’s how you acquire the resolution for survival that the coming years are about to demand. You don’t earn it. It’s given.”
knowing that the past tense of "hang" is "hanged" when it's a method of execution can be very entertaining because you'll be watching a horror movie and someone goes "local legend says a woman was hung in these woods" and you're like "👀 good for her I guess"
