#i think he had a great great grandfather who was a mexican born in what is now known as the southwest us during the period when that#territory was annexed into the us after the mexican-american war and i think he grew up in a region that had a bit of american immigration#so he grew up learning english and whatnot#and since mexicans were the og cowboys i think he grew up doing ranch work and was hired to do a cattle drive from tx to#wyoming around the time of the civil war. and then when he got there he met a purdy little irish girl who's family moved to#wyoming following the construction of the railroad in the state#and they met and fell in love and bam#they made little mexican irish catholic babies#then of course they just kinda lost ties to their mexican heritage as the bloodline continued bc that great grandpa was the only ethnically#nonwhite member ofthe family or smth so any connection to that culture disappeared by the time ennis' parent was born (i think its his mom)#and it just becomes one of those things were his mom is like you know we have mexican blood in us right son#its the only way i can reckon with all these hispanic names in the source material lol#'del mar'#'aguirre'#there be hispanics a-foot....#still brokeback posting#brokeback mountain
