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
Dw it happens to us all (me)
Sudden useless headcanon on Itztlacoliuhqui: he is dead inside.
What I do in my life if I have a headcanons on Aztec gods lol...
THANK YOU.
AND ANOTHER THING
I THINK SETH AND COYOLXAUHQUI WOULD BE FRIENDS. LIKE. YEAH.
Every short best friend needs their tall enabler friend!
Like they are both siblings that get painted as purely bad or purely evil when they are both more than that.
Coyolxauhqui is expected to sacrifice and expect to not get angry. The idea that her brothers that far from her and their bodies decorate the night sky that surrounds her because of a brother that she hardly knew protecting a mom that she felt as if broke her trust.
For seth being a god of chaos and while what he did with killing his brother and contending of horus wasn't cool. There's also some good that he does that may get overlooked because he is labeled as an evil god. He protects Ra when he goes through his journey through the Duat and faces Apep every night. He is one of the war deities. Also, with him being a chaos God, he has to balance the scales. For every good, there has to be a bad. Sometimes, he has to be that.
Anyways I think they would match each other's vibes.
Coyolxauhqui: I hate this guy.
Seth:we should beat him up.
Coyolxauhqui:...you know what hell yeah.
(They're talking about a spainar-)
They make me feral
Huitzilopochtli and Coyolxauhqui -
The God of War, who acts as the Sun, Huitzilopochtli was threatened by his sister, Coyolxauhqui, Goddess of the Moon, when he was yet to be born. Along with her hundreds of siblings, the Gods of the Stars, Coyolxauhqui went to attack Huitzilopochtli on the day of his birth. When he came out of his mother’s womb, he flew with a snake covered in flames and beheaded and killed her, then proceeded to slay the rest of the Star Gods.

My modern Tez! For some reason I really like drawing him in modern clothes
The fluffy hair was cute but I decided to give him braids cause it'd be more accurate
Having no experience with Chinese mythology makes this incomprehensible but I love it dearly
