what's left to those with ash instead of soul if not to cling to those who burn a bonfire?

the product of me contemplating about olrox's possible backstory and reading several mexica culture + spanish conquest books for the past 2.5 weeks (was absolutely worth it)
(+ a bit of yapping under the cut)
I've been thinking of him as a warrior from the commoner class or as a priest who was accepted into the calmecac from the same lower class because of his high capabilities (it was possible to accept children who were talented and with good qualities); and the priest version slowly took over - Quetzalcoatl, whose feathered-serpent form olrox takes, is a patron of knowledge, learning and priests; while it is symbolical - for a priest after spanish invasion and all the consequences (erasing of culture, persecution of the religion, converting into the christianity) to have this form in the manner of some kind of support, it also creates a common ground and parallels between olrox and mizrak in the aspects of religion, harsh duty, devotion to divine beings and theological questions, which i found fun to explore :)
i also thought of him being on lesser position in hierarchy - maybe as an offering priest, who could have got higher due to the fall of Tenochtitlan and immense decrease of population.
Anyway, I'm so normal about him and so looking forward to read more about other precolombian cultures now!
You thought I was done with elfes?? Well jokes on YOU I watched two eps of Rings of Power and it made me draw FOURTY of them in the space of three days !! As you can see I al very normal about this.
I teased it on twitter but I’d wanted to draw a House of Finwë family tree for a while so here it is ! A helpful chart full of info that’ll instantly have you classified as an insane person upon learning (use with care)
Strict age order is not observed for siblings in some places. This is because make a tree like this legible and fitting in a normal shape is kind of very hard. Same goes for the way some of the wives are missing in later generations (but sometimes its also because we don’t know anything about them.)
I thought about adding secondary names to the charts as they’re sometimes useful but have you witness the quenya names, mothernames and nicknames that some of these lads have ? This isn’t a collection of ingredient lists. I said Sindarin names only. You have to put your foot down sometimes idk
Anyway hope you enjoy my otome game lineup vibe let me know who you’d smash 🌟👌
