Weird lil comic I made based off a real experience I had while my eldest sister drove me somewhere (Quetzalcoatl’s name replaces my other older sister)
Made some merms
Tecciztecatl— Longfin Damselfish
Yauhqueme— Toro/Atlantic Bigeye
Opochtli— Flowerhorn Cichlid
Chalchiuhtlicue— Queen Parrotfish
Welp. That's the last of my aztec wb doodles
So real
huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Oh yeah there’s also this bit
“Sahagún's passage describing the Toxcatl impersonator reads like the rapt portrayal of a man whose beauty approximated that of the ideal unmarried Aztec woman”
You can technically make Tezcatlipoca wear a maid dress and it would (kinda) work
"Although Sahagún never witnessed the Toxcatl rite, he described it at length in his encyclopedic Florentine Codex, in which he included his Aztec informants’ vivid description of the ideal victim’s physical appearance...I will argue not only that the young Aztec impersonator was chosen for his androgynous appearance but also that, during the events leading up to the moment of his death, his gender—but not his sex—was symbolically feminized to the point where he transcended the male-female binary altogether. The impersonator’s increasingly ambiguous gender, in other words, served as a visual sign of his association with, and ultimate transformation into, the god himself
D-does this mean Tezcatlipoca nonbinary??????

Quetzalcoatl as depicted in Codex Borbonicus
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
