[ Thinking about how Corazón is a Spanish term of endearment, and Doflamingo calls Roci that all the time. He literally never uses his actual name. But he never calls Vergo "Corazón", even when he holds that title. ]

[ I'm once again trying to get back to regularly writing Doflamingo. My frequent and long breaks means I'm very disconnected from the One Piece RP community. >-< // If you guys have any blog recommendations for me, or know someone who you think might be interested in writing with my Doflamingo, please don't hesitate to send them my way! ]

[conquiistador]

[ I don't write them on here, but can I just show you guys my One Piece OCs?? I love them v much-- ]

[conquiistador]

[ AU where Doflamingo doesn't kill Rocinante, and instead keeps him alive, thinking he can use Law's love for him to get Law to do what he wants ( which is do the "surgery" to make Doflamingo immortal ). Basically @ Law: If you don't die for me I'll kill Corazon. ]

What are your top five doffi ships

[ HMMM -- My top five? Oh woah, difficult question! I don't even think I have five ships for him ahahaha --- I definitely know what my favorite ship for him is: Doflamingo / Caesar . Caesar is my favorite One Piece character and yeah, I love them together. Currently writing a fanfiction for them in an EvilWins!AU. u v u //

Second favorite would probably be the classic Doflamingo / Crocodile . I had the fortune of writing it a few years ago with @videcoeur , and they really made me appreciate that ship .

Other than that I don't really have any ships for him that I "actively" ship. But I'm open for all kinds of ships. This definitely includes cross-over ships! And ships with OCs! If there is some sort of chemistry ( or maybe if it's just toxic, I love toxic ships ). Doflamingo is a very dark character and so I don't expect his ships to be wholesome or lovey-dovey LOL.

When it comes to writing ships on here, the most important things are that our writing mesh well, we get along OOC ( we don't need to chat a whole lot, but knowing each other a little is cool ), and we enjoy each other's portrayals. Oh, and of course that my writing partner is comfortable ( I don't have any triggers, but I wouldn't want to write something with someone and make them uncomfortable!! ).

Thank you for asking anon! I really hope that now that I'm being active on here again, I'll end up getting to write some ships for Doflamingo. 8) ]

[ Doflamingo is clearly the evil brother, but let's not forget Rocinante literally plotted and worked towards having Doflamingo captured/killed . He committed mutiny against his captain (Doflamingo), and was punished with death. At least Doflamingo actually killed him himself, instead of letting other do the dirty work, like Rocinante would've let the other marines take Doflamingo down. ]

[conquiistador]

[ Just thinking about how Monet was going to sacrifice her own life for Doflamingo's "convenience", and she acted like it was not even a big deal, like " yes of course I was going to die for you before you even asked me ". I think this shows JUST HOW DEDICATED his family is to him. Like dying for him is? A given? It's not even something he has to ask them for. ]

What Chess Piece are you?

Black King

You are the Black King. You are the most important piece on the board, often called the weakest. But you are not weak in terms of tradition and status. The king gives orders to others, ensures difficult tasks are done, and makes the hardest decisions. Yes, the king's movement is weak but in every other aspect, they are strong and important, for it is them that the game is fought for, to begin with. You rule with an iron fist, making the hard decisions that others won't, the only one to ever see the full picture. Be careful, my dear king, for there are reasons kings are overthrown. You know what you do is right, now you must convince your entire kingdom. Stay aware, my king.

I just have Some Thoughts about Doflamingo's dad. Not looking for a discussion here, just sharing my thoughts.

First of all.

What an irresponsible guy. There wasn't anything wrong with him wanting to live a "humble life" like a human ( even though they literally moved into a mansion and brought lots of gold lol, talk about being humble ). What WAS wrong was that he did absolutely zero research. He based his expectations on his claim that "humans/people are good." Sure, my dude, you might think that, but should you base all your expectations on that one claim you're making with 0 evidence to back it up? Why didn't he look into how people might treat former Tenryūbito? I mean, if you're going to move your whole family to a new place - a whole new country, and you KNOW you are different from the people who live there, wouldn't you want to research how they FEEL about people like you? But nope, he did zero research.

The second thing, is that he didn't prepare his children AT ALL. He just told them that they were going to "live like humans from now on". Okay, my dude, but THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! You can tell that Doflamingo doesn't have a clue on what to expect. He doesn't understand why there aren't slaves, or why he can't buy new ones or why people don't fall to the ground before him. How would he know?? How would he know these things if nobody explained it to him? This isn't common knowledge for a Tenryūbito. Why hasn't he gotten any sort of "warning" on what to expect? Up until that point in his life, the only thing he's been taught about human life is that it's worth less than his own. So for Doflamingo it's like a whole new world that he's clearly completely unprepared for. How about giving your kids a head's up before throwing them into a new society???

Basically, Doflamingo and Rocinante are now stuck in a world where they have to constantly fear for their lives. What children (and people in general, but children especially) desire the most is SAFETY. Doflamingo has to watch his father, who is supposed to protect the family, completely fail, and their mother even dies as a result.

[ There is more to add here but, moving on ]

To the scene where Doflamingo is aiming the gun at Homing. "You can't make it right anymore", Doflamingo says. He's been waiting all this time for his dad to get him and his brother to safety. Yes, Doflamingo talks about wanting "power", but why does he want the power? To be safe!! All kids want to be safe!! Even Doflamingo!! He's aiming his gun at his father, but he's still having a "conversation" with him. When he says: "You can't make it right anymore", what he probably wants from his dad is for him to tell him: YES I CAN. He wants reassurance from his one living parent.

But what does Homing do?

He doesn't try to stop him AT ALL. He doesn't ask him to spare his life. He's failed completely at keeping his family safe, so surely, the one thing he should try is to not make things worse. He doesn't even try to plead for his life. Does he think that Doflamingo won't forgive him no matter what he says? I DON'T THINK SO. I don't think ANY parent would see their child in such a bad light ( especially when they're that young ). Maybe he feels like he doesn't deserve forgiveness ( fair enough ). But you'd think that even at this point he would want what's best for his boys. And, apparently, he thinks it's better if Doflamingo kills him. He thinks his boys will be safer without him. Without their father. Maybe he thinks Doflamingo will be successful in returning to the Holy Land if he is dead. But still, like... My dude, did you have to make your son shoot you. While your other son is watching. Like, maybe try to de-escalate the situation? To not traumatise both your boys to the max? Maybe say something like: "Yes, I'll give my life so you two can go back to the Holy Land, but you shouldn't have to do this, Doffy." YOU KNOW?? But instead, he just apologizes and basically gives Doflamingo the go-ahead ( since he doesn't try to stop him ). I think Doflamingo's line to Rocinante later:

Why must I BE FORCED to kill my family not once, but twice .

--- It shows that he, as a kid, at the time, felt like he had to do it. Just imagine the heartbreak. What Doflamingo wants from his dad is for him to tell him that he's going to make it all better, but instead his dad gives him nothing. Like, sorry kid you're on your own. And Doflamingo knows the only way for him and Roci to feel safe again is if he shoots his father. Holy shit the trauma.

All in all. Homing is the worst parent in history.

Could doflamingo come to actually love someone in a relationship or would it be fake on his end

[ Great question anon! :O Please take into consideration that my answer is based only on my interpretation and portrayal, and that other Doflamingo writers have other takes on this question, I can only answer for my Doflamingo.

I have a very hard time imagining Doflamingo loving someone in the "pure" sense of the word. His "love", if it ever came to that, would take more the form of being possessive of someone. "Everything about you belong to me"-sort of thing. I can't see him falling in love with someone. You know, the butterflies, the doing acts of service... That's hard to imagine. As for a relationship... I don't see Doflamingo entering into one. A relationship requires standing on equal footing. Someone would be his "partner", and in return, he would be their "partner" (boyfriend). This is not a title he'd enjoy, since he sees himself above everyone. HE could have a "lover", but he would never consider himself to "belong" to someone else, or allow anyone to use words like "my boyfriend", or "my partner" about him. The only word that should come after "my" when speaking about Doflamingo is king.

Doflamingo would not fake anything in a relationship, because he'd never be in that sort of relationship, and he'd never stoop so low as to pretend to have romantic feelings for someone. He doesn't feel he needs to go that far to manipulate anyone. He can fake concern ( as he does with his family ), but that's as far as he'll go. ]
