HIIII. Maybe Yeah

Lil doodle o made and the ref!

I love eye of the serpent and Mexicolore!!!!!!

Hiiii! I was wondering if you have any resources for Mesoamerican mythology that’s good? Can be a website or book or anything really. Trying (desperately) to reconnect with my culture.

Hi!! So, so sorry for not answering sooner, but life happened lol. I’m struggling finding resources myself, considering that many were destroyed (thanks to colonization), or they were traditionally shared orally within our cultures. Some of the best resources I’ve found are often anthropology and history books, but I highly recommend doing research into the authors as well, and determine for yourself whether you trust them or not. From my own personal list here some:

Books:

Aztec & Maya: The Complete Illustrated History by Charles Phillips

The Oxford World Mythology by David Leeming

Mythology: Myths and Legends of the World by Dr. Alice Mills

Goddess Stories: Discover their mythology by Alison Davies (Has some Aztec and Native American goddesses, a Brazilian one too!)

Deck:

The Nahualli Animal Oracle Deck by Caelum Raineri and Ivory Andersen

It’s a small list, but I hope it helps! I’ll also be doing some more digging and try making more posts about the gods of the Mexica :)

STEEL CHAIR! STEEL CHAIR!

Was drawing and thinking about how Nephthys would fit in the dynamic between Coyolxauhqui and Set since she is Seth's wife in Egyptian mythology.

I fear I sent myself into a pit of despair. Nephthys, from what I've seen, been depicted by others, is always as someone whose mirror to Seth. Like someone who can balance him out. I think she would serve a similar function with Coyolxauhqui, but she would allow the space for her to be vulnerable. Allow a sense of sisterhood without the feeling of having to be a role model or be judged for your actions. She would be an equal for Coyolxauhqui.

I think Nephthys would allow Coyolxauhqui to process her grief and frustration when it comes to her relationship with Coatlicue. I think she would also be key for Coyolxauhqui and Huitzilopochtli reconciliation. Someone who allows Coyolxauhqui to be angry and frustrated and defends her to Huitzilopochtli. (In the sense of Huitzilopochtli making off comments when he rarely does talk about her sister). But I think she also allows the support for Coyolxauhqui to rebuild that relationship instead of just being like fuck Huitzilopochtli (that is more Seth's vibe).

In conclusion, I think Nephthys is a good thing for Coyolxauhqui and is her number supporter!! If there's no Coyolxauhqui fans, then nephthys dead! She for sure gave Chang'e the shovel talk. She also would just toss hands on sight for anyone who continues to shit talk Coyolxauhqui. Like she would try other methods but if all else fails it's like WOAH IS THAT NEPHTHYS WITH A STEEL CHAIR

Been drawing "el chavo del ocho" characters as their aztec versions

here the character "chilindrina" has her name swapped for xochilindrinatl to sound more naca and stupid.

i gave her a green tilmatl and a red chal, replaced her yellow bow for a movement simbol and her big square in the dress for a purpuseful one on the tilmatl, if you squint your eyes is practically the same, and thats the point.

:>

what character should i do next?

Cries sobs whibbles

Literally Coyolxauhqui. Who is she besides the eldest sister? It’s all she’s known for.

I wonder if she had one of those soft smiles that were few and far between. I wonder if they warmed the room every time. I wonder if she looks up during the night wondering how they are. I wonder if she nurses her wounds thinking if it could ever be different.

Idk man maybe I’m overthinking
