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

POV you're about to become the moon becouse a feathered ball hit your mom

Have another drawing :3 Coatlicue and my oc Ilhuitl

OH I LOVE IT! I love coatlicue very very much! In return, have these versions of Huitzilopotchli and Tezcatlipoca I drew in my sketchbook for a Aztec-based fantasy novel I'm working on! Huitz is supposed to be around 16 so take that with a grain of salt :>

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.

[giselle-animations]

I made these today!! :3 If they look rushed it's because they are :(

[mythological-mayhem]

I love Aztec mythology because where else can this shit happen:

(Note that "you" doesn't really refer to a singular god, I'm using it as a replacement for the god's name in several situations)

-Your brother hits you out of the sky with a stone club because he was pissed off you destroyed humanity

-Your wife got seduced by Tezcatlipoca because he didn't want you being the sun

-You were just born and your mom goes "Woop haha your sister and like four hundred brothers are here to kill you"

-You're a fucking SNAKE that invented WRITING (no you don't have hands, don't ask about it)

Happy Chinese new years!! I drew the goddess Nuwa and Coatlicue hanging out

[cookiekeko]

Desi boy goes and meets his other mom, sister, cousin, aunt and grandma who happens to be Cōātlīcue

[toastedclownery]

The four Tezcatlipocas each have illustrations where they have Tez' face markings for their different colors so I thought. For my designs. They would have them for their. Fucking. "Tezcatlipoca forms" in which they get a buff, since he's written to be the strongest of the four

They get his face markings and their own smoking mirrors! Quetz' smoke looks like a wind jewel, Xipe's looks like roseate spoonbill feathers and Huitzi's looks like Xiuhcoatl

Also appreciation for these Huitzi and Coyolli that I drew for a little lineup

Because I didn't draw Coatlicue big enough last time. Woah mama

[fiannalover]

I'm fucking dying.

Thinking about Coatlicue, Aztec goddess of life, death, rebirth, and the earth

Tonāntzin (our mother)

who was so terrifying that when she was rediscovered under the Templo Mayor, the white elite had to bury her again, not only to hide her terrifying image but also hide her from her indigenous followers who remembered her and loved her and went to great lengths to still worship her.

Tēteoh īnnān (mother of the gods)

Mother of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, who became pregnant when she touched a ball of feathers that fell from above and then gave birth to Huitzilopochtli, the God of War and Sacrifice.

Coatlalopeuh, on who's hill the dark Virgen de Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego and, in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztec, told him "Am I not here, I who am your mother?" Nuestra Virgen who appeared, not as the new mother of God but as the Woman Clothed with the Sun at the end of world to remind us that, even if the world as we knew it ended, we have survived and will survive and continue

Tonāntzin Coatlicue

[miimikiupic]

Coatlicue

[majestativa]

An inner identification with bestial metamorphoses, often inspired by myths or deities such as the Celtic White Goddess or the Mayan Coatlicue, who could change shapes at will.
