#Quetzalcoatl Tlaloc and Xochiquetzal were like “This is great we should share it with the humans”

Silly Game Time: If you were to be the patron deity of something (the way the Muses are goddesses of different artforms, Tlaloc is a rain god, Amaterasu is a sun goddess, and Anansi is a god of stories and trickery), what would you choose? It can be as broad or as specific as you like.
This is a hard one because I'm convinced I'd be an awful god OR be a good one although very problematic (like, meddling too much).
BUT- If I had to choose on this precise moment, I'd like to be a deity for extinct critters (and by extension, paleontology). It just gets me really sentimental thinking about prehistoric animals, how they died million of years ago, and million years later, we are able to find them and try to discover their stories and act with a fascination about them or even be moved by what they went through.
They're the reason why things are the ways they're right now, our existence is in debt of them, it's as sad as it's beautiful.
