Yaotl you did what

I need to stop reading at midnight I read that as “Quetzalcoatl, the rain god’s wife” and I was thinking double congrats on the transition and the marriage Quetzalcoatl

She also got me codex chimalpopoca >:)

Me: aw man I can’t afford that Nahuatl dictionary because it’s $150!

My mom: *fucking pirates it*

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO PROVE

🚪🏃💨

And there's a pain you can't imagine

A special kind of torture you can feel

A cut that bleeds from somewhere deep inside you

A past regret you can't heal

And no one guesses all the while you’re praying

That screaming little stranger in your arms

Might just grow up and save you after all

Might just grow up and save you after all

I really do feel like he misses him because one that’s his brother and they’ve worked together before and two that’s his equal and opposite

Tez every time he remembers that his brother hasn't returned after 500 years:

Maybe intoxicate him with pulque wasn't the best idea.

This brings me pain. You’ve pained me.

happy april fools day gang

Goes feral

Guess what bitch got a translation of The codex chimalpopoca

Codex Fejervary-Mayer Tezcatlipoca

Sorry y’all I died again

And there's a pain you can't imagine

A special kind of torture you can feel

A cut that bleeds from somewhere deep inside you

A past regret you can't heal

And no one guesses all the while you’re praying

That screaming little stranger in your arms

Might just grow up and save you after all

Might just grow up and save you after all

Holy shit tis one of the Centzon Tōtōchtin

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...

Oh yeah there’s also this bit

“Sahagún's passage describing the Toxcatl impersonator reads like the rapt portrayal of a man whose beauty approximated that of the ideal unmarried Aztec woman”

You can technically make Tezcatlipoca wear a maid dress and it would (kinda) work

"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??????

Alright lads ladies ands lassos bittersweet part 2 but more sweet this time

Me finding something labeled “Amateur Tezcatlipoca Porn Videos” when trying to read about the fall of Tula for something

Thanks tumblr for throwing this on my feed while I’m drawing something bittersweet

I am actually ill about Huitzilopotchli right now

like can you imagine having to watch your entire family die, some by your own hand, and hearing everyone cheer. This is a good thing. You're so young. Your mother is dead. This is a good thing. You will be celebrated for this. You didn't protect her enough and yet this is a GOOD thing

Tezcatlipoca my androgynous bisexual polyamorous icon

“What were you holding? Why did it shine?

Did I glow like the moon when impaled by the pines?

You think that you've killed me, but watch my chest rise

How am I breathing if I've already died?”

(Warning for slight gore under the cut)

I feel like some wholesomeness is needed

(the second one is an older one I forgot to post lmao)

Thanks tumblrbot. That’s my own post.

I think Tezcatlipoca needs to look into his mirror to find out wtf this means

in the arson civilization no one jumps for the Tezcatipoltca it's much easier to do the one block jump for the Susie Deltarune

OH MY GOD YEYSYEYSYSYSY

I cannot believe that I totally forgot to post the new kittens. These cuties are 5 weeks old, there are 3 girls and 2 boys. The last litter I named after Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. This time when naming them, I have decided to go with Aztec Gods and Goddesses.
