Sometimes I feel like the entire aztec pantheon is this at least a little bit
I like how itztlacoliuhqui because In some myths he's a representation of the morning star, an avatar of the feathered serpent, or Quetzalcoatl but when he got shot by the arrow he descended to the underworld and became the twisted obsidian blade, or almost like an avatar of Tezcatlipoca....... So it's really cool how these gods just kinda mesh together
Yeah it's insane how every time I do research on him I find a new deity who is also at least partially Tezcatlipoca. Even he and Quetzalcoatl have been called the same titles.
rb to give a flower to the person you rb this from
They’re also both aroace imo
It’s just vibes for Huitzilopochtli
If I had a nickel for every war deity, born as an full adult with armor, patrons of the most important cities, who have a bird as a sacred animal and have siblings who are constantly humiliated by them.
I'd two nickels, wich isn't a lot but it's weird that it happend twice
These two are besties now

Tezcatlipoca my androgynous bisexual polyamorous icon
"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
