Ok So I Feel Incredibly Stupid For Not Pressing On The Icons But It Tells Us Exactly What They Are And

I’m gonna do a poll on this that way I know what I should post. If I post anything leak related anyway I will always say it’s a spoiler warning but still better to ask.

Sorry guys, no memes today

Okay so you guys know that Ixlel had that whole eldritch aura going on right?

And the description from the nameless artisan/Manqu:

Slowly and calmly she walked towards me, as if the fire were nothing more than a gentle spring breeze. Her face... I have never seen anything like it. Even the purest of crystals could not be fashioned into the likeness of such skin, nor could the purest of turquoise be carved into such eyes. Yet for reasons I cannot explain, that face, which should have been the very picture of beauty, was... so nauseatingly repulsive... Through those turquoise eyes, those pupils whose beauty was almost terrifying, I saw naught but endless, unfathomable darkness and void; a space that no language could describe, unlike anything I have ever seen in the brief few decades of my transient life.

- Artisan's memo (III)

So I thought, "Hmm, the other Dragonlords probably had this eldritch-ness going on. Even more so for their sire, Xiuhcoatl. Plus, there's already eldritch element in Natlan; that mf Gosoythoth that's inspired from Yog-Sothoth"

From there I was digging through the possible eldritch figure that could inspire Xiuhcoatl.

And well don't you look at that?

Yig, the Father of Serpents.

Disclaimer: I have yet to read H.P Lovecraft's works and I haven't dabble to much in eldritch fiction, so all my knowledge about this figure comes from the wikis. Also, for those who don't know, H.P Lovecraft was a massive racist-fuck, and it bleed to his works with many of the eldritch figures were seemingly inspired from indigenous deities/spirits. So tread his works with care.

Yig is a eldritch deity introduced in the book "The Curse of Yig" co-written by H.P Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop. He is "the snake-god of the central plains tribes," and "a shunned and feared object in central Oklahoma."

The story describes him as:

an odd, half-anthropomorphic devil of highly arbitrary and capricious nature. He was not wholly evil, and was usually quite well-disposed toward those who gave proper respect to him and his children, the serpents; but in the autumn he became abnormally ravenous, and had to be driven away by means of suitable rites.

The snake-god's chief quality was "a relentless devotion to his children," making it taboo to kill snakes. Those "who flouted him or wreaked harm upon his wriggling progeny" would suffer the "curse of Yig," in which the deity would "turn his victim, after suitable tortures, to a spotted snake."

In one of the expanded Cthulhu mythos (works that are written by people other than H.P Lovecraft), his mate is Coatlicue, which in the real-life mythology has many snake motives and is the mother of the sun god Huitzilopochtli, the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, and the gods of the stars Centzon Huitznahua. And you know who's the creator of the in-game Huitzilopochtli right.

An in-story ethnologist stated that Yig is the dark prototype for the more benevolent Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan (you see where I'm going.)

But this part is what I consider to be the most fascinating: Yig was also one of the two main gods (the other being Cthulhu) worshipped by the people of K'n-yan, a subterranean realm under a "sky" of glowing blue clouds similar to the Northern Lights, occupied by a hidden race of advanced prehistoric humanoids. They hailed from a planet much like Earth, the K'n-yanians were supposedly brought across space by Tulu, founding a vast and mighty civilisation. However, after the Mu continent sank, they sealed themselves away from the rest of the world. They blamed the "Space-devils" for the great sinking that "submerged the gods themselves, including great Tulu, who still lay prisoned and dreaming..." with the only human survivors being the space-devils' own agents.

K'n-Yan is the name of the author of "The Men of Lithin". And reading their history... doesn't they sound a bit similar to Khaenri'ah? Plus, this 'space-devils' is a bit similar to the Primordial One's coming. Defeating the original gods and then planted their own agents...

Huh, what if Nibelung is supposed to be Cthulhu? Being worshipped alongside Xiuhcoatl, and his murals showed up in Natlan. That also kinda explain why he looked similar to Xiuhcoatl in the murals?

Idk, I just want to share my discovery with you. In another note, kdnsjkskssnns "Father of Serpents" and fierce love for his children... my 'mama Xiuhcoatl' agenda isn't that far-fetched I guess!

Btw this is how Yig's children look like. Aren't they adorable😍

Even better, alternative reality. Instead of Och-Kan worshiping Xbalanque and admiring him. Jealousy.

THINK ABOUT IT!! He got all of his dad’s attention, he was literally perfect at everything. Jealous Och-Kan would be so entertaining ngl.

When my friend told me that Shinji and Kaworu were gay, I didn’t expect GAY. Like he showed up randomly and already confessed that he loves Shinji 10 minutes into the episode (his first appearance fyi).

WHERE DID HE COME FROM??? Reminds me of a certain someone who just happened to have also shown up from nowhere and steal the main character’s heart *cough cough Xbalanque*

Has anyone questioned Waxaklahun’s wings? They are basically absent in his model from 5.2 World quest, seemingly replaced by a secret source mechanism rather then them being feathery and well—wings— like in the mural of him.

I have a major theory about this but not enough to prove it to be correct. Hear me out, we all know that he is desperate and down right obsessed with evolution as he foresaw the down fall of dragons when the Vishaps stopped evolving—hence leading to the creation of Och-Kan— but what if its not just the future generations but older ones too… I present you with “Regressive Evolution”. Now before anyone reminds me that dragons can shift and change forms, it still does not make sense from him to have a mechanical version of wings (if they even are wings) when he has his own already.
