This is the Aztec god Nanahuatzin. He sacrificed himself in a fire so that the world would have a sun and humanity could live. However, there is a problem. More and more humans are spending less time in the sun to spend more time at work and in school. In some places, people spend the whole day without seeing the light of the sun because they are busy working! This makes Nanahuatzin very sad because it means his sacrifice was in vain. Please cheer him up by quitting your job and/or classes to spend more time in his radiant light.
You are so right. I would work on some of these (with permission obviously) if I wasn’t so burnt out with writing 😭
Some of my aztec fanfic ideas cuz I have a essay due soon so I need these ideas out of my head NOW:
1. Tezcatlipoca down fall as the the first sun, mixed with Quetzalcoatl angst and scheming (xipe totec is watching from the side disappointed)
2. Quetzalcoatltal down fall as the second sun, mixed with tezcatlipoca angst and scheming ( xipe totec is watching from the side disappointed)
3. Tonatiuh and Tecciztecatl coming back down to earth, Tecciztecatl reconnects with his mother and siblings, but has a panic attack when he sees his dad because he internalized what he said at his sacrifice fire thing and can't get over it. Yes, he runs away like a coward
4. Xipe totec finally snaps and just fucking losses it on his brother for their bullshit, then gets angry and depressed at himself for getting in a fight with them, runs away, meet Xochipilli and he calms him down starting their beautiful weird platonic romantic non sexual relationship. (I have many thoughts on them)
5. Xipe totec evading becoming the sun like he's dodging the draft
6. Tezcatlipoca turning into a woman and being gay
7. Tezcatlipoca being gay with one of his impersonator/sacrifices (yes he switches from being a man to a woman and back again)
8. Tonatiuh, Tecciztecatl, and the transgender fire (non-binary and trans-fem respectfully)
I KNOW I SWEAR LMAO BUT CLOSE ENOUGH IN SPIRIT IG???

Lowkey there have been times where I felt so ill and I was forced to sit outside for ten minutes and immediately felt better after stewing. I am a plant. Photosynthesis.

Your brain is telling you the correct things family angst family angst family angst
Fascinating phenomena where my brains can only think of fanfic ideas when I'm writing a essay on a completely different subject
Beautiful you have my vote
They have yet to invent an Aztec god who isn't at least 40% Tezcatlipoca, and with your support we can expand this to cultures that never interacted with the Aztecs.
I looked at my CapCut why are there like three edits of Tecciztecatl I don’t remember making. Was it blorbo induced hysteria wtf
Cries sobs whibbles
Literally Coyolxauhqui. Who is she besides the eldest sister? It’s all she’s known for.
I wonder if she had one of those soft smiles that were few and far between. I wonder if they warmed the room every time. I wonder if she looks up during the night wondering how they are. I wonder if she nurses her wounds thinking if it could ever be different.
Idk man maybe I’m overthinking
Funniest depiction of eclipses by far
What the fuck guys why are you doing that stop
Every time I see your art I start squeaking (this is good)
Finally I can introduce you to Wajari! 🪇
Warime is an impressive celebration of Wotuha (Piaroa) people, and I've wanted to draw a character inspired by it. Maybe it's too bold of me to use the same name as their god, to be honest 😅
But... Would he be the clever shapeshifter god creator? Or just a healer as he always says? Who knows 👀
Kind of weird stretch but shields and decapitation
Athena’s shield with the beheaded Medusa
Huitzilopochtli’s sister quarrel (here comes the stretch) and how dead warriors had to peek behind their shields to enter Ilhuuicatl-Tonatiuh. Also just being a warrior god and having a hummingbird feather shield idk it’s seven in the morning
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
Honestly real. I’ve been listening to a bit of Omeworld and Coyoltzin :3 (neither are metal but they’re still yummy)
vikings would like viking metal and aztecs would like aztec metal but crusaders wouldnt like crusader metal
change my mind
I have something to research
vikings would like viking metal and aztecs would like aztec metal but crusaders wouldnt like crusader metal
change my mind
Lowkey sometimes I need to remind myself that just because she wasnt scheming that it doesnt mean she didnt hurt me
Sometimes just because she says she’s sorry doesn’t mean that she understands that I’m still hurt
Abuse isn't suddenly okay because your abuser is ill. Abuse isn't suddenly okay because your abuser is traumatized. Abuse isn't suddenly okay because your abuser is in a really bad situation. Abuse isn't suddenly okay because your abuser has good intentions. Abuse isn't suddenly okay because your abuser is nice sometimes. Your abuser does not have to be a literal cartoon villain for their abuse to be wrong. They likely have some good traits or mitigating factors, but that doesn't mean you have to excuse and put up with their abuse.
Maybe scraped maybe Wip I’m not sure
They’re also both aroace imo
It’s just vibes for Huitzilopochtli

You’ll never believe what I have
i really need a heart locket necklace so i can put small pictures of dwight frye and fredric march in each side
God I love humans
Okay so Victorian erotica is literally the most heinous, morally bankrupt, horrific shit I've ever read - but I've read a fair bit, partly from historical interest but also because a while back I helped a friend with a university project she was doing about censorship and pornography in 19th century England.
Anyway I need to share with you all the most hilarious line that has ever been written, circa 1887:
PUNTS THEM /VPOS
Well technically 5.5 ,but who counts?
Very cute all but more than a half of them (mostly tez) are responsable for the worst cosmic catastrophed
Oh and there's a cute little dog over there idk what's he's doing here but his name its xololt and has crooked legs 😁
Reblogs this from me friend :3
They’re literally three people and one at once I think that counts
God is system coded ngl
he is not
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:
Websites:
It’s a small list, but I hope it helps! I’ll also be doing some more digging and try making more posts about the gods of the Mexica :)
