Content Warning ⚠️‼️ Family trauma

It’s been over a year since I created And You’ll Be Twenty-Five Just Like You Always Wanted. This past year I got into a car accident that prevented me from working so this piece is coming out later than I originally wanted it to.

With my last piece it felt better to come to terms with being vulnerable. So I’m putting myself out there again and sharing written work once more. It feels weird but it’s cool to try weird stuff sometimes.

Being older isn’t easier but there’s always your dog at the end of the day.

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!
