Been fixated on this series for a bit

So I drew em as lil minis !

(They don't have headdress cuz I'm lazy QwQ)

They so cute and small, they can't possibly do nothing now QwQ

[evansuvamp]

I have a god crush in every pantheon...

[thirteene42]

since huitzilopotchli did numbers, let's talk about Xolotl, shall we?

'who the fuck is that' you all ask, and I shout back THATS THE FUCKING POINT

the god of DEATH, who guides the SUN through the sky, the loyal emissary to the keeper of bones, the twin to one of the most well-known figures in Mesoamerican culture, Quetzalcoatl, and yet... no one knows who the fuck that is

I've mentioned him to friends before. they'll tell me excitedly how they fought the feathered snake in a game, or read about one in a book. Then they ask me if Xolotl is an axolotl.

So no, Xolotl is a god of death, disfigurement, dogs, and sickness. And he's honestly one of the most forgotten gods we know enough about to talk about.

I watched Onyx Equinox recently, and thought 'it's such a shame he's depicted like that. He has no agency' and

SPOILERS FOR ONYX EQUINOX S1 AHEAD BTW;

of course he doesn't! like always, his brother takes it from him.

Quetzalcoatl loves his brother. There are texts suggesting they could have been so close they could be one person. But Quetzalcoatl is light, and goodness. Powerful, a Tezcatlipoca, once the SUN - and Xolotl just kind of. lives in the land of the dead.

he is overshadowed constantly by his brother, or the gods he's around, anyone who could possibly overshadow him.

he brings to mind that quote off the dsmp (sorry, I know, but it works) "You are a WALKING second-place medal."

he is secondhand. he's a DOG. he'll never be more, not even in media. he doesn't get a spotlight. he's xolotl.

Dragon 🐉 7/12 Quetzalcoatl from OnyxEquinox

It's so unfair Crunchyroll didn't give another season to this show :c Not only we won't be able to see how it ends, we also didn't have the chance to see Quetza on his full god form ;_;

[corvlth]

Onyx equinox, anyone?

Didn't really know how to make 'em realistic without making their features unrecognizable from the anime style

Onyx Equinox: All Hope is NOT Lost!

So for those of you who don't know, Anna Lencioni (the wife of Onyx Equinox creator and Executive Producer, Sofia Alexander) has begun to regularly host live streams on Twitch every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon to chat with fans while animating segments of her upcoming Indie series Enceladus V. Who should walk in and join for a little while on the latest stream, but Sofia herself (shocker)!

Not just that, but the two divulged on some super juicy, super hopeful information regarding the future of Onyx Equinox, and, let me say, folks: All hope is NOT lost on this series! There's a chance we'll be getting more information, and possibly even more seasons, in MUCH due time. Here's every detail I noted down from the stream relating to the future of Onyx Equinox (SPOILER WARNING (duh)!!!):

• Sofia wanted to explore K’in in a more nuanced way in season 2; he was going to have a lot of growth in that season, since he finds out Yun never wanted to be an ulama player, and was pressured into it by his twin brother • “I think you should come onto my stream and tell everyone what would’ve happened in season 2… we gotta schedule that one… we might have to do an English and Spanish simulcast.” - Anna • Ship-hinting/queer characters/more LGBTQ+ representation in Onyx Equinox: Yes, yes, and yes. More info will be given in the exposition stream • Gustavo “would probably work for free” on future seasons • “Crunchyroll doesn’t give a SINGLE fuck.” High Guardian Spice's OST was released, and Crunchyroll didn’t care about that • Gustavo technically owns Onyx Equinox’s OST, he’ll likely be the one to release it, once he’s less busy

• If properly finished, Onyx Equinox would have three seasons AND a movie; the movie would be pretty much an origin story, focusing on Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl vs. Cipactli • Crunchyroll DID ask Sofia to write a season 2, but then the merger with Sony happened, and, well, we know what happened from there... • Coyolxāuhqui was going to be in season 2 as a “major fan” of Mictecacihuatl, and [Micteca] was going to be on “the good side… one of the heroes, so-to-speak.” • “There is a contract. I think Sofi has rights [to Onyx Equinox] in her version, but we haven’t explored it yet, and I think we need to.” • “I have become a little bit selfish about sharing more [about Onyx Equinox and the characters], because I feel like the industry already sucked me dry… eventually, I’ll be healed enough to say ‘Yeah, let’s give it another try, and fight for this.’ I feel that if Onyx is meant to be told, it’ll be told, even if it takes a little bit.” - Sofia • Final words of the stream: “We’ll keep you updated on the Onyx Equinox exposition stream!”

So, yes! As Miracle Max from The Princess Bride has said, Onyx Equinox is "only mostly dead". Will we need to wait while for more information and content? Absolutely. Will it be worth it? AB-SO-LUTE-LY! The Gods have heard us, folks! Onyx Equinox someday, will be back!

EDIT (1/16/25): Per this Tweet from Gustavo, he'll be uploading the entire Onyx Equinox soundtrack this year on Spotify!
