Donquixote Rocinante - Tumblr Posts
Today I offer : actual non-oc fanart <33 my friend n I rewatched a lil dressrosa and it sparked sumn in me
The biggest klutz ever but one of the fan favorites lol
And the final post for today is Doffy and Cora. I love drawing parallels between the two
I was working on my Japanese Homework when I had a revelation about Law at the end of Dressrosa as well as about Corazon’s “I love you” and figured I might as well share: When Bellemere died, she looked to Nami and Nojiko and said “I love you” And used the Japanese word “Daisuki (大好き)” When Corazon last looked at Law he said “I love you” but used “Aishiteruze(愛してるぜ).” Suki (好き), in Japanese, means “To like.” Making it Daisuki turns it into “really like” “am very fond of” or “I love you” depending on the context. It’s the most common form that the phrase “I love you” takes the shape of and is often the only form used between people. Aishiteru (愛してる), on the other hand, is a very heavy, strong, and rarely used word in Japanese. Many Japanese people go their whole lives without ever using it because in Japanese culture, verbally expressing Love is something they are hesitant to express openly (preferring to show love instead) and especially of the Aishiteru kind. To use Aishiteru is to, in effect, tell someone that “I love you so much that I can’t imagine my life without you in it.” It’s never something that you use casually (if you ever use it at all). The “ze” attached to the end of Aishiteru just makes it a more casual and “cool” or “manly” way of saying it. So when Cora-san looks at Law and says “Aishiteruze” he is, in effect, saying: “I love you and I literally can’t imagine you not being a part of my life anymore, and I am saying this in the most casual and manly way possible, okay?” That was the strength of Corazon’s love for Law. But Law didn’t know that at the time. He was young and had probably never once heard the word being used before and probably thought Cora-san was just being a dork. He wouldn’t really understand it until his talk with Sengoku among the rubble of Dressrosa. Sengoku had told him to stop sullying Rosinate’s love with imagined requirements and conditions and then Law remembered. With wide eyes, he remembered Corazon’s exact words to him: “Oi, Law. Aishiteruze.” I love you, and it finally hit him. He finally realized and understood just how strong and unconditional Corazon’s love for him had been and that he hadn’t had to do anything to validate it. Corazon loved him for him and not for what he was. And finally, finally, Law found the resolution he had been searching for. The relief that Doflamingo’s defeat hadn’t given him. The freedom from his past that he so desired… and it brought him to the brink of tears. (let’s admit he would have cried if Fujitora hadn’t ruined the moment) (All I wanted to do was write that I love cats, not punch myself in the face with feels about Law’s flashback again. Excuse me while I cry in the corner.) (It’s a shame these things don’t translate well into english)
so !!! this is kind of a tribute to law and to a lesser extent corazon :0
tbh it was kind of a spur of the moment thing i have no idea how i drew 30+ panels in a week,,also its 4am and im very tired
altho this is incomplete ive put in a lot of energy into it and, i think im pretty proud of the end product :D
(also itd be great if this could get a reblog since this particular project has arguably, the most amount of effort ive ever put into any of my art)
I find Law & Corazon's story to be fascinatingly heart breaking. I wanted challenge myself to go for a more realistic style for this one. = not because of it necessarily I just wanted to try.
This took so long but I'm really pleased by the outcome. Rocinante and Law are two of my three favorite characters from One Piece and doing this with them was so much fun.

Before i say anything, this one was a tie as well between Cora-san and Zoro, but i’m doing my best avoid doubles for responses, though luckily i honestly feel just as passionate here and its not settling for a second place. With that said...
Gods, there is so much i can say yet, i feel none of it can truly describe my love and appreciation for this man. I don’t think i can ever really say how much i love him and what i love about him, his kindness, his depth, his quirks yet skill to balance them. His determination and sacrifice not outright out of chivalry but simply personal want and need, his selfishness just so happening to be selfless i feel means so much more than some moral code or credence or sense of duty. Everything we saw him do, even before law with him infiltrating the DOnquixote family, he did out of his own emotions and wants and he was just so human. He messed up, he tried and failed at times and succeeded at others, his circumstances were terrible and he knew it and he still made impossible choices under impossible odds.
His warmth, his humor, his tragedy and sacrifice were not selfless, but they were important and so is he. I love his design in every way, those intense eyes once hidden as a child under a mop of hair matching a wide cheerful smile all accentuated even more with the marks on his face. His ridiculous height fit him well given his charge was such a stunted young boy, the one who was to be seen as feared proved the kindest and sweetest one could be all things given to the boy who forgot how to smile. Hs passion and anger rose in that boys honor again and again, showing him possible of terrible things without a moments pause yet he chose to love.
Happy birthday to the kindest and sweetest of fools I've ever known. Donquixote Rocinante, Corazon, Cora-san. I love you beyond words.
