Propaganda!

Tezcatlipoca or Tezcatl Ipoca was a central deity in Aztec religion. He is associated with a variety of concepts, including the night sky, hurricanes, obsidian, and conflict. Tezcatlipoca's nagual, his animal counterpart, was the jaguar. In the form of a jaguar he became the deity Tepeyollotl ("Mountainheart"). In one of the two main Aztec calendars (the Tonalpohualli), Tezcatlipoca ruled the trecena 1 Ocelotl ("1 Jaguar"); he was also patron of the days with the name Acatl ("reed"). A strong connection with the calendar as a whole is suggested by his depiction in texts such as the Codex Borgia and Codex Fejéváry-Mayer, where Tezcatlipoca is surrounded by day signs, implying a sort of mastery over them.

The Tupinambá people believed that Anhangá could take many different forms. Despite being a bigger threat to the dead, he would be seen often by the living, who could also have their bodies and souls punished. The mere memory of the suffering inflicted by Anhangá was enough to torment them. The tupinambás were said to fear this malignant spirit more than anything else. This spirit would be one of the biggest concerns when it came the time to prepare the dead for their journey to Guajupiá, the "Land Without Evils". Food offerings would be made alongside a fire to warm the body. Food was offered to sustain the dead as well as to ensure Anhangá would eat the food instead of the dead. The fire, meanwhile, had the goal of not only providing warmth, but also protection to the dead, as it would keep Anhangá away. The living would also encourage the dead who had already reached Guajupiá as to not let their fires go out.

✦ Tá, bora lá-

✦ I've decided to study a few of the brazilian folklore and tupi-guarani indigenous mythology because our culture is awesome and it needs more reconition, right?? Sooo... i find out about the brazilian gods of the tupi-guarani culture and I wanted to design/draw a few things about it-

By the way, small TW for nudity? It doesnt show anything but still.

✦ E OUTRA COISA! Pros meus manos BRs que entendem de mitologia eu peço por favor, POR FAVOR, se eu fiz alguma coisa de errado ou algo do tipo... POR FAVOR, ME CORRIGAM!! PODE TACAR LENHA-- 😭

✦ Guaraci and Jaci. Literally the sun and the moon gods.

And they are married by the way! The myth of the sun and the moon got many versions but I'm telling this version here:

In the beginning, everything was dark. Until a light started to shine. It was the King Star, our sun, starting to shine. The god Guaraci.

He bring light to everything and to every living being, but one day, he got tired and decided to close his eyes and everything got dark again. But then, a new deity was born, the moon who brought light to the night, the goddess Jaci.

The moon was just so beautiful and wonderful, that made the sun god himself fall in love with her. However, when he opened his eyes, the light of day returns and he can't see Jaci anymore. He got so heartbroken because he couldn't see his beloved that he decided to call for Rudá, the messenger of love god to him send the love letters made by Guaraci to Jaci and tell her how much the sun loves the moon.

And so Rudá did and in the end the moon fell in love with the sun and they got married and for Jaci dont feel lonely at night while everyone is at sleep, Guaraci made her the stars to keep her company.

✦ There is even a song that tells about this myth! However, it is on Portuguese and unfortinally there is no english subtitles BUT it is pretty much what I just told above. Here.

Theyaresocuteandimcrying😭😭

✦ But do you think I'm done?? Nope! I'm not.

There is also the god of underworld, the Anhangá.

✦ Anhangá is the god and ruler of the underworld and also protector of the animals. He is a shapeshifter but the form he uses the most is a white deer with red flaming eyes.

He takes care of all animals but some myths says that if you see him, it is not a good sign. He usually shows up to those two killed a baby animal or a pregnant female and he is going to... well. Do the move "one life for another" if you know what I mean-

✦ But anyway! This is it for today.

i don’t normally share these type of sketches, but this post is getting a little attention so i thought you’d all like to see what came out of it:

of course these are only concepts for now, the final results might look a bit different (q!Fit’s maybe not so much, but q!Pac’s will probably have a bit more detail added to it)

also, if you can read my handwriting, i hope you enjoy the notes i wrote down… and if you can’t don’t worry they’re nothing important, they’re mostly for myself anyways

deep in research on prosthetics and different designs of said prosthetics just so i can update my designs of q!fit and q!pac

Congrats on the 1 year and the 2k! That’s amazing and I’m so happy for you!

Requesting Javy with a fluffy Hades/Persephone vibe!

(Prepare yourself, I might have a few more up my sleeve 😂)

Fern! Thank you for the love! Since Javy is Brazilian, I decided to go with the Brazilian equivalent of Hades and Persephone, which are Anhangá and Ticê (but I couldn't find the equivalent for Cerberus so he is still the same,) so I give you

Hellhound:

"Ticê!" You hear Javy screech across the house. You know he must be highly upset if he is using your real name instead of one of the many pet names he has given you, the mortal name you have chosen for yourself.

"Yes, Anhangá?" You sing song back to him, with his real name.

"Care to explain yourself?" He asks you as he leans up against the door frame of your study. You're currently curled up on your chaise snuggled up in the impossibly large blanket that you are still knitting.

"What ever do you mean?" You ask him as you take a sip of your tea. You know exactly what he is referring to, but you enjoy playing dumb with him.

"I am referring to the little arts and crafts project you have taken up. I know being Queen of Hell doesn't take up all of your time, but knitting? You couldn't have gone with something more—I don't know—intimidating?" Javy groans.

"For your information, I think creating something with two extremely sharp needles is very intimidating." You shoot back, sticking your tongue out at him. "Ticê" He warns you in a low tone.

You chuckle and return back to your blanket, but Javy doesn't move.

"Was there something else bothering you? What's got the King of the Underworld's panties in a twist?" You snicker.

"Oh, I think you know exactly what does." He gruffs.

"Javy, I truly don't know what your issue is. You seem so— tense. I know ruling hell can be hard, considering people are just dying to get in." You joke with him as you loop more yarn.

"Well, why don't I show you then. Cerberus!" He yells. You chuckle and wait a few moments. Nothing happens. Javy rolls his eyes. "CERBERUS!" He cries out again. "I COMMAND YOU TO COME HERE THIS INSTANT!"

"Anhangá, my love, he isn't going to come if you yell like that." You tell him as you continue to knit. "Well, if you think you can do any better, be my guest." Javy chuckles, clearly doubting your abilities.

"Cerby, here boys, come see Mamá!" You call out. Moments later, large footsteps bound across the floor, and Cerberus leaps into your study and onto you and the blanket you are currently knitting for him. You make sure to scratch each one of his heads and tell them how much of a good boy they are.

Cerberus snuggles up to you proudly wearing the sweater you spent weeks knitting for him.

"This! This is what I mean!" Javy says as he dramaticly gestures at the sight in front of him.

"Cerberus is supposed to be a fearsome hellhound who listens to my every command. Not a sweater wearing lap dog who does tricks and has a blankey!" Javy puts his hands on his hip and pouts.

"Cerby, I think Papá is just jealous that he doesn't have a super cool sweater like you boys do. What do you think?" You ask him while giving more pets to the supposed hellhound in your lap. All three of his heads cock to one side before taking turns licking your cheek.

"Cerby agrees with me. But don't worry, my love, I made you a matching one!" You exclaim before pulling out a fuzzy black knit sweater and handing it to him.

He gives it a once over and sighs."You know I'm not really a sweater type, darling." He tells you.

"If you don't like it, I can always give it to someone else." You sigh.

"Absolutely not! This is mine, and I shall cherish it forever, and they will have to cut it off my undead body." Javy quickly answers before slipping it on.

"Awe! Now we all match!" You exclaimed as you pulled your blanket to reveal your own sweater.

Cerberus jumps off you and excitedly runs over to Javy.

Javy rolls his eyes before kneeling down to eye level with him and scuffing each head behind the ears.

"Cerby, my old friend. Here I thought we were a ruthless king and his fearsome hellhound, but look at us. We are just a couple of love sick saps in matching sweaters." Javy chuckles. You roll your eyes and continue to work on your blanket while Javy and Cerberus head off to attend to business.

Afonso's birthday prompt!

Afonso invites Luciano for an initiation party in the Quinta da Regaleira, but Afonso needs to fufill his role as a stand-in for Dionysus, and he's dressed like him at the botton of the inverted tower, receiving gifts and wine from the guests.

This year, he invites Luciano to join him and tells him to be dressed as a god of his choice.

"any god?" Luciano asks

"Any god" Afonso confirms

"To scare people in the well?"

"yep. And we can share the wine, 30%-70%"

"I want 40% of the stuff"

"Deal."

And since they're going to stay in the well, Luciano chooses Anhangá to cosplay. It's the tupi god of underworld. And Afonso did liked the choice because it's fun to see the new members getting scared to death when he tells them that if they displease him the god of underworld will drag them with him.

This is one of many characters I've designed personally for a possible future project. Austten, the Nature Warden, he is inspired by the native Brazilian folklore character "Anhangá". Initially, the design had already been defined, but I decided to change it to an aesthetic more linked to the divine, nature and aspects of native peoples.

But I'm still no sure which one is better and I need your opinions, what do you think?

[panzershrike-pretz]

PRETZ! can i ask 💤, 🐉, and 🎶 for fiona?

HEY BLU!!! ABOUT FIONA!!! I love her so much!!

----------------------------------------------

💤 SLEEPING SIGN — is your oc a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? how are their sleeping habits?

Fiona's a light sleeper, more so because of her autism and anxiety. She's constantly somewhat overwhelmed, so falling asleep itself is already a battle for her - so, staying asleep, is even harder.

With the tecnologies of the modern days, she learned to use happy hoodies (for grooming dogs), noise concealing earplugs and sleep masks, but they aren't really a hundred percent effective. Any sudden movement is still enough for her to wake up.

She's normally the first to go to bed and first to rise, of all the crew :3

🐉 DRAGON — what is your oc's favorite mythical creature?

Her favorite mythical creature is the Anhangá! Although she is German, not Brazilian, she learned about them from Madam Iraci Troupial, one of the Brazilian Ymbrynes.

Anhangás are white deer with blood-red eyes and a soft glow around them. They live alone and their mission is to protect the Amazon and its inhabitants, killing whoever hurts the forest with their giant antlers!

Anhangás where a lot more common before Brazilian colonization, but as the Portuguese explored the resources and the population started to shrink the Amazon, their numbers went down due to loss of habitat and poaching (their antlers and blood can be used in potions; eating their eyes is said to strengthen people and cure most mosquito-born diseases). Now, they are a protected species under the International Magical-Beast Protection Act (IMBPA) and are slowly but surely comming back!

(And as a disclosure, I made my own twists to the actual Anhangá folklore! They are common in some indigenous communities and their stories differ here and there; this version is made to fit my universe and is based in more than one versions of the legend)

🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?

Fiona's favorite is classic music, but she's also a big fan of operas and anything-ballet! Those are the ones she's been exposed the longest to, but as she came into the modern world, she found passion for musicals!

They are like therapy for her and she actually loves to be able to sing and act - although she's mostly nonverbal, when she's on the stage, she feels way more confortable.

Natasha turned her into a theater kid 💀✨️

[aesrot]

broo in ep 7 peter wakes up w a white deer carcass over him, and charlie describes it to have glowing eyes and to be 'what people saw at night in the woods', and in some of the brazilian native myths there's an entity called anhangá thats like a protector of the wildlife, and it assumes the form of a white deer with fiery eyes. so like, even without knowing, peter/exandroth might have slayed yet another divine creature
