"The love story between Olrox and Mizrak is rushed"
No, yall are just wildly impatient. They weren't even in love for fuck sake.
Enemies to lovers doesn't happen over night,
and no,
just cuz you fuck someone doesn't mean you love them-- we're not children here, no matter what domestic fluff coffeeshop AUs you're into, it should be fairly obvious that Mizrak has problems with his identity and faith conflictong with one another, making EXTREMELY hypocritical judgements that are literally called out WITHIN THE STORY.
He's nowhere even remotely NEAR ready for a relationship with a species he literally thinks is SOULLESS and incapable of caring for another human being. Yet, "their love story is rushed!!"
Tumblr media
Not to mention the potentiality of a Christian man calling an indigenous person "an animal" is an unsavory reminder of what the conquistadors used to call his people during their violent settlements.
And then, with Olrox, he's going to need to BELIEVE again, after putting faith in something that was immediately killed.
He's seen hopes, dreams and empires, rise and fall, over and over again. He's afraid of taking risks, and that's HIS character arc this season.
Loving Mizrak IS a risk. That's why he's stopping himself.
It's called a slowburn, people; this is only the tip of the iceberg.
