“Mom, Am I Still Young?

Random Aztec mythos headcanons because why not

• The moon (Tecciztecatl) controls the tides because the Tlaloques begged Acuecueyotl/Chalchiuhtlicue to give him a job so that he wouldn’t feel useless. Also because they wanted their “brother” to stay in Tlalocan.

• Xolotl could absolutely devour a chicken salad BLT. I have no evidence for this. He just seems like a BLT guy.

• Tezcatlipoca drops into the animal baby voice when he thinks no one is around.

• Nanahuatzin is undiagnosed autistic because he kinda reminds me of lil undiagnosed me when I didn’t understand why I never really fit in :(

• Quetzalcoatl created Olms (olm pic for reference) and Xolotl hated them so much for copying his style that he put them all in Europe.

• Tonatiuh and Huitzilopochtli flip a coin on who wants to drive the sun that day

• Tecciztecatl is just the dad and dog meme with the moon rabbit

The Tlaloques fuck with their boss’s son/replacement older brother

Also here’s some stills

Tried out some new brushes for the background :3

Sometimes I feel like the entire aztec pantheon is this at least a little bit

I like how itztlacoliuhqui because In some myths he's a representation of the morning star, an avatar of the feathered serpent, or Quetzalcoatl but when he got shot by the arrow he descended to the underworld and became the twisted obsidian blade, or almost like an avatar of Tezcatlipoca....... So it's really cool how these gods just kinda mesh together

Yeah it's insane how every time I do research on him I find a new deity who is also at least partially Tezcatlipoca. Even he and Quetzalcoatl have been called the same titles.

They look perfect for holding omg

I do like jellycat bunnies (and my favorite plushie I own is the Walmart knock-off in my pfp) but it does bother me how a lot of companies do rabbit noses for the plushies? Most rabbit noses are just a little v-shaped slit like this

And some do have a little bit of coloration/fur texture difference that makes the nose more noticeable and have more of a distinct shape.

But like. Not like this.

or this.

These are cute and I do like them (and I do want to get rabbit plushies from these brands)! but if you end up looking at them too long, they stop registering as rabbits and become just a Creature. It’s slightly insidious.

It reminds me of like dog or cat noses with the color and texture- the hairless smooth flesh noses that they have. So it feels like a weird rabbit/dog hybrid or something to me.

Weirdly enough, while TY usually gives their rabbit plushies awful plastic pink noses they actually had them embroidered in the correct shape for their new beanie bellies.

Unfortunately the beanie bellies don’t look too cute in person with the weird almost human-baby proportions. They also gave them paw pads… which aren’t accurate. I try not to be pedantic about the head shape since they do every single plush regardless of head shape like this but… there’s more losses than wins here.

I do find it rlly funny that palm pals gets a lot of aspects right. Weird lil thang. I love you

Woop woop!

The WIP of my newest art project

It’s definitely a learning process! When I first started I HATED it. Turns out I just hated using a stylus lmao (yes I’m a finger user fight me)

I writhe in jealousy over digital artists for they can do what I cannot

Eats you
