Happy New Year Apparently Because I Forgot Today Was The Day Lmao

Me when people say Tezcatlipoca is the evil brother while Quetzalcoatl is pure good

BOTH OF THEM DID BAD THINGS AND BOTH OF THEM DID BENEFICIAL THINGS IT TAKES SO MUCH FROM THEM TO LABEL THEMNGOOD OR BAD

Me everytime I see a badly writen retelling that makes unecessery changes to the source matterial that add nothing and rather take away from it, and it's clear that the writter both hates and doas not understands the source matterial, or when I see a bad take that misinterprets the source matterial:

Everytime when someone potrays Demeter a bad, overbearing mother.

Or when Persephone potrayd as a cute Kawaii pink aesthetic UwU girl (thanks Rachel, we are suffering the conseqvences of you fethis comic), and Hades is potrayd as a lonely nice guy who never did anything wrong.

Or when Medusa is potrayd/talked about as a sad, lonely, tragic girlboss and held as a symbol for women's empowerment and protection who wanted revenge, when she did not do anything to help women.

Or when Perseus is potrayd as a villian, or when Andromeda potrayd as an unhappy wife.

Or when people blatently say that Romeo and Juliet is not a tragedy, ignoring that the fect that the hate between two families lead to multiple people's death, and how the only time when they realised that they unfound hatered was bad was when they children were already dead.

Or when I see people claiming that Thor was a bad husbend to Sif.

Or when the gods get declawd. This is for any mythology.

Or when Hera redused to nothing but a bitchy wife.

Whenever that happands. I think of this song.

I will probably ad more to the post when more of this comes to my mind. Feel free to add more.

Honestly based

If every time my sister asked me to draw my favorite male character pregnant I got a penny I would have two pennies which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

Do you want us to stab dictators like what

UPDATE YOU CAN GET IT ON A PILLOW

I just found an Etsy seller with post card of Tecciztecatl on a bike. It’s so niche. I love it.

Reblogs this from me friend :3

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

YouTube:

Eye of the Serpent

Native American author Edgar Martin del Campo shares lessons from the indigenous religions, cultures, and languages of North to South Americ
