Rip Aztec Deities You Would Of Loved Crane Wives

Random post but here’s a picture of the Jaguar Temple at Lamanai! I went here in October last year and it was a very fun visit. I’m not very well versed in Maya mythology but they called Kukulcan Quetzalcoatl which was weird

Do you ever start researching aquatic snails native to Mexico because you couldn’t find an easily accessible list of marine snails so you could make a snail form for a niche character in a niche mythology? Yeah

Also sorry for not posting for five days or so idk I’ve been sick as a dog

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

D-does this mean Tezcatlipoca nonbinary??????

I don't know how well oc art typically does on tumblr, but I'm dropping Coyoxauqui (based on the aztec goddess) here anyway, because she looks so cool actually

Earth Lord? Earth Lady? Who cares

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:

Omg he does
