Something I see getting overlooked a lot when discussing queercoding in historical media is that in many cases it's not evidence that the writers secretly shipped it; it was aimed at straight dudes specifically to freak them out. Depicting a male villain as sexually interested in a male hero reads as horror to the cishet male audience. Like, Venom didn't spend years and years being blatantly characterised as Spider-Man's creepy stalker ex because Marvel's writers were all closeted yaoi fans. That was meant to be scary – which of course doesn't mean you can't read it differently, but don't give them credit they don't deserve!

To give more context: The reviewer was Jean Lorrain, who also was gay. Both showed up to the duel and both missed on purpose.

❤️ Day 5 Corazon Week 2026

NATURE

Vanitas Cordis

Today's illustration is the penultimate piece of this year's Corazon Week, and without a doubt, it took me the furthest outside my comfort zone.

Portraits have always been my favorite subject to paint, so creating an entire still life felt like stepping into unfamiliar territory. It was also my very first time studying and painting an anatomically accurate human skull. As a Mexican, the skulls I usually create are inspired by calaveras de azúcar:full of color, life, and celebration... so approaching one through the lens of classical painting was both challenging and incredibly rewarding.

🎨 This piece is inspired by the Vanitas still lifes of the Dutch Baroque. These symbolic compositions combine elements of nature with reminders of mortality: skulls, extinguished candles, flowers, fruit, and other everyday objects become quiet reflections on the fleeting nature of life, the passage of time, and the certainty of death. For the prompt "Nature," I wanted to embrace the idea of nature morte (still life), allowing each object to carry its own meaning. The extinguished candle symbolizes a life that has come to an end. The skull reminds us that death is the one fate shared by all. The flowers speak of beauty that inevitably fades with time, while the Devil Fruit quietly represents the extraordinary life and legacy Corazon left behind.

I won't hide it... this illustration made me emotional :( As I arranged every object, I kept thinking about Rosinante's final moments and the hope he chose to leave behind. In many ways, this piece became less of a still life and more of a quiet farewell.

Ironically, this illustration also brought back the artistic block I thought I had already overcome. There were many moments when I felt stuck, unsure of every brushstroke, and I only managed to finish it today. Even so, I chose to keep going, one step at a time.

Painting the flowers was especially challenging, and I still have so much to learn when it comes to botanical studies. Although I can already see things I would love to improve in the future, I decided to embrace this piece as part of my growth rather than chasing perfection.

✨ I sincerely hope you enjoy this little Vanitas. Thank you for staying with me throughout this journey

You wouldn’t think that flamingoes are extremophiles just from looking at them. It’s like somebody tried to build the vertebrate equivalent of that fungus that lives inside nuclear reactors, and ended up with a gangly pink dinosaur with a spoon for a face.

[calloutnevvegas]

For everyone in the comments asking how flamingos are extremophiles:

Flamingos can survive in low oxygen, high altitude, high temperatures, low temperatures, high alkaline, they can and will drink boiling water and they can be completely frozen at night and still get up the next morning

Don’t fuck with flamingos

[revretch]

….. Didn’t know most of that

[iamthekaijuking]

Huh… so that’s why zoos don’t put them somewhere warm during winter.

[revretch]

Oh yeah, this leaves out what I *did* know about them–they can also survive hypersalinity. That is, water so salty it kills practically everything else–water so salty it burns your skin.

American flamingos just drink that shit

[bogleech]

(animal death) this is a real undoctored photograph (*though the body was stood up for the shot) of a dead flamingo on the surface of lake natron, a lake so salty and so alkaline that it’s naturally carbonated like soda and would eat through your stomach lining if you drank from it.

When this photo went viral years ago, most people assumed this poor flamingo must have been killed by the lake.

It is actually the lake where 75% of its global population are hatched. This is a photo from the same lake:

Some species of flamingo actually subsist almost entirely on a diet of bacteria! In other words, there is a species of dinosaur that eats only bacteria and lives in lakes so toxic they would kill almost anything else—and it is best known to the average person as a kitschy lawn decoration.
