Scarecrows-to-cherrytrees🫶

@gav-san, I know you already have like 5 different AU ideas for A Lineage of Red going on in your head, but I cannot help but add:

The Donquixote Family abandons Marie Geoise for the lower world—there, they secretly meet with the declared-deceased Red, who helps them navigate the cruelty of the lesser world.

Doflamingo grows up with a loving mother and Auntie who spoil him rotten (it—unfortunately—does not help his personality much).

But despite the lack of tragedy, he grows with a burning, spiteful ✨hate✨ towards the Celestial Dragons (and Garling) for forcing his beloved Auntie to go into hiding.

Still unhinged. Still a little freak. (I love him, can’t you tell?)

His life’s goal?

To rebuild the superior Donquixote name, restore Red’s right to live an exalted life he 100% thinks she deserves, and to—very happily—destroy Garling.

Just think: Adult Doflamingo vs. Elder Garling

**fanning myself respectfully, as I watch this unfold with rapt intensity**
