Saw this on my fyp and knew I had to redraw this with Olrox

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!

Olrox!! Olrox no!!! The redemptive nature of love is NOT deontological!!! Your ethic of care has gotten twisted, bro!! It is not enough to do something out of love!!! Your expression of care cannot be successful if the object of that care is not receptive to it and the consequences it brings!! You're repeating the cycle of trauma that brought you here in the first place!! Olrox—!!!

“OLROX IS A SERPENT, AND MIZRAK IS A CHRISTIAN. SO HE’S BOTH A LITERAL TEMPTATION, AND FROM MIZRAK’S CHRISTIAN LENS, THE SYMBOL OF TEMPTATION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. HE CONSIDERS OLROX INHERENTLY EVIL FOR WHAT HE IS, LIKE HOW HE VIEWS HIMSELF BECAUSE OF HIS FAITH. IT’S TRAGIC BUT ALSO HORNY AT THE SAME TIME.”
