tjs_whatnot | 2025 Fandom Snowflake Challenge #8

Challenge 8: In your own space, write a promo, manifesto or primer for a beloved character, relationship or fandom.

Have you heard about Our Lord and Savoir, Oxnard Matheson? No? Well, allow me to spread the word of his amazingness.

We first meet Ox in Wolfsong when he is 12 years old on the day that his father abondons the family telling him a few things that will stay with young Ox for the rest of his life. Ox isn't smart. No one is going to love him. He is now the man of the house.

Ox is just too precious for this world. Your heart will break for him. You will want only good things to happen to him, want only people who see his worth. You will fall in love with a rough and tumble garage mechanic who takes him under his wing and protects him and his mother. You will marvel at the little boy who finds him on the side of the road and introduces him to an extraordinary life that he could have never imagined.

You will meet a family that loves with every thing they are and you will grieve with them as they struggle with loss and a need for vengeance.

I want to convince you all to read Green Creek, but I also don't want to give away any of the reasons why because I don't want to take away from the discovery of it. But, here, I found this and I think it does a good job of explaining a lot of the reasons it's a Must Read without giving too much away.
