Tlazolteol is the Aztec goddess of vices and purification. She would give diseases to people who over-indulge but she would be able to get rid of diseases by eating them. In a lot of her depictions she dons a jaguar skin and feathers so I worked with that.

When I was younger, I wish someone had told me straight-up that not all adults experience “a calling”. That many of them never find particular purpose in a career. That sometimes, their job is just what pays the bills and they have to seek satisfaction and fulfillment elsewhere. 

Because as an adult, this pervasive notion that there exists a perfect path for everyone, that people should love what they do, and that work is meant to function as a vehicle for fulfilling a person’s grand life destiny is not only inaccurate for many of us, it can be toxic.

The ideal is so ingrained that I have to remind myself constantly I’m not a failure because I don’t adore my job, and because I’m not rocking the world with my work. That is okay. 

Sometimes, work is just work. There isn’t always a perfect career path, magically waiting to be discovered. There might not be this THING you were born to do. Sometimes, you discover that what you really want to be when you grow up is “paid”.

there’s a decent amt of neurologists who’ve called the sleep schedules we’re obligated to be on despite flagrant conflict with our natural circadian rhythms “borderline torture” and the work hours we’re expected to put in despite the fact that the average person can only maintain maximal efficiency and focus for 3 hours at a time “nearly inhumane” and i think about that a lot

@deadcatwithaflamethrower​ I was just linked this and I felt you needed to see it. I cannot stop laughing and I’m wheezing from the effort of trying to stop.

Some sketches I inked during these stressful days at work. Playing around with appearances and ideas for Muinnellim, that it has different motifs it assigns for each first in command Creator it has worked with. It takes on these motifs in its appearance when it references or thinks about past Creators.

(Enilapo was supposed to be included too but I spilled food on that sketch... I’m a slob ha)

I don’t think I have ever drawn a #Hippogriff before which is ridiculous since I love drawing birds and horses. Based the coloration of this one on black-and-chestnut eagle and gave it powers of fire.  #MythicMay
