I feel him. I have this reaction anytime I’m near fire it’s bad

tecciztecatl having that 'actually i am not a fan....' moment

i hadn't drawn him in a while so here he is :) also i wanted to test this new fineliner i got

Yooo the them

I WAS TRYING TO GET XIPE TOTEC WHAT THE FUCK

Chews on them violently like a dog with a new chew toy

Inspired by Caly's post

Random articles my beloved

Basically them

Aztec mythology headcanons three!

(It’s mainly on Coyol and Tecciztecatl because I’ve been thinking about them)

• Huitzilopochtli has a mega sweet tooth and will drink straight syrup

• he’s done it before and will do it again

• Coyolxauhqui was originally quite annoyed with Tecciztecatl’s presence but eventually accepted him as a sibling figure

• I imagine its quite hard to talk to the stars when they’re so far away

• a home four hundred strong to just you must be a very hard transition

• Tecciztecatl and his goofy ass might’ve made it easier

• Coyolxauhqui would definitely force him help him train

• if we’re going with the version that Tecciztecatl turns into the goddess Metzli

• then Coyolxauhqui would probably be happy to have a sister for once

• I feel like she also has some weaving skills due to caring for four hundred brothers so she would teach Metzli how to make her own clothes

• She (M) would love this

• honestly either Tecciztecatl or Metzli would just love having a supportive figure right after becoming the moon

• I don’t think Tlaloc is a bad parent overall but being either A. Treated as a disappointment or B. Thrown into the fire by Tlaloc messed Tecciztecatl up a bit

Last list here

WHAT THE FUCK!!!! I FORGOT TO REBLOG!!!!!!

I don't know how well oc art typically does on tumblr, but I'm dropping Coyoxauqui (based on the aztec goddess) here anyway, because she looks so cool actually

I don't know how to start a conversation so have this Tecciztecatl :>

Omg thank you so much EEEEE

Teefers

Okay maybe I'll work on him next

YEESSS YOUNG HUITZILOPOCHTLI MY BELOVED

Have another drawing :3 Coatlicue and my oc Ilhuitl

OH I LOVE IT! I love coatlicue very very much! In return, have these versions of Huitzilopotchli and Tezcatlipoca I drew in my sketchbook for a Aztec-based fantasy novel I'm working on! Huitz is supposed to be around 16 so take that with a grain of salt :>

Wait I didn’t see this

Oh yeah, Tlaloc and Chalchiuhtlicue are considered to be Tecciztecatl's parents! (page 622)

HIM HIIIIIM

I'M NOT DEAD!!!

Just working on uni stuff. Have a preview that just so happens to be Tlaloc 😆

Don’t buy Aztec Myths by Jake Jackson there’s a bunch of blatant mistranslations and misinformation

This is just for the gods. There’s also like culture misinformation and it’s just bad

You’re so real for this.

Tezcatlipoca needs to start paying rent, cause thinking about him is taking up too much mind space. I have a fucking essay due!!!!

Bitches love my copy of the codex Chimalpopoca

GOOD LORD THERES A TORNADO

Alright who pissed off the rain gods

Alright who pissed off the rain gods

Quetzalcoatl as depicted in Codex Borbonicus

Fuck but because I feel bad eating him and there’s too much for me to reasonably eat

The Feathered Serpent is a prominent supernatural entity or deity found in many Mesoamerican religions. It is called Quetzalcoatl among the Aztecs; Kukulkan among the Yucatec Maya; and Q'uq'umatz and Tohil among the K'iche' Maya. The double symbolism used by the Feathered Serpent is considered allegoric to the dual nature of the deity: Being feathered represents its divine nature or ability to fly to reach the skies; being a serpent represents its human nature or ability to creep on the ground among other animals of the Earth, a dualism very common in Mesoamerican deities.

Quetzalcoatl is a deity in Aztec culture and literature. Among the Aztecs, he was related to wind, Venus, Sun, merchants, arts, crafts, knowledge, and learning. He was also the patron god of the Aztec priesthood

Earth Lord? Earth Lady? Who cares

Woy reference

Yaotl you did what

I need to stop reading at midnight I read that as “Quetzalcoatl, the rain god’s wife” and I was thinking double congrats on the transition and the marriage Quetzalcoatl

Me: aw man I can’t afford that Nahuatl dictionary because it’s $150!

My mom: *fucking pirates it*

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO PROVE

🚪🏃💨

And there's a pain you can't imagine

A special kind of torture you can feel

A cut that bleeds from somewhere deep inside you

A past regret you can't heal

And no one guesses all the while you’re praying

That screaming little stranger in your arms

Might just grow up and save you after all

Might just grow up and save you after all

I really do feel like he misses him because one that’s his brother and they’ve worked together before and two that’s his equal and opposite

Tez every time he remembers that his brother hasn't returned after 500 years:

Maybe intoxicate him with pulque wasn't the best idea.

This brings me pain. You’ve pained me.
