#im so sorry aztec tattoo culture is just so cool

[uummyuu]

the azul headcanons

big strong man that the show really doesn't utilize enough... wish we had more knowledge on the other members' names though :((

although de los santos is the only one who outright states he's aztec, i'd like to think the entire team is of aztec descent in some way.

anyways fun fact about aztec tattoos, they're usually designed to honor a chosen god so that they may provide blessings of prosperity, strength, health, etc. i don't want to look too deep on what was probably a tattoo designed on whim but it seems pretty close to the aztec calendar? or an iteration of the aztec sun god huitzilopochtli, the interpretation is very vague.

if we go by the thought that this is a tattoo of the aztec calendar, the tattoo itself could mean eternity and connection. de los santos in the show itself kind of rues the fact that what was once his home is now simply brushed of as the forgotten city or something to be left in the history books. with this tattoo it's his way of keeping his home and his friends by his side forever.

but also a tattoo of huitzilopochtli can symbolize power as well as sacrifice. some tattoos of the sun god are stylized to just be the sun with the god's face on it(although typically depicted with 8 rays instead of the weird 13 on his tattoo). santos' power is never understated in the show and his tattoo could be a testament to that.

the other members probably have their tattoos either on their chest or back to keep them out of sight, probably eagles to symbolize power and bravery, or maybe even a literal quetzlcoatl to symbolize wisdom. aspects that would be useful on the playing field.

anyways please see my vision of de los santos with a whole extensive aztec back tattoo on him

ok back to your regularly scheduled program, santos has bench pressed the entire team on his back once and it was recorded somewhere. the video resurfaces on natter everytime the azul play a game.

i read in a 4-panel comic that klaus actually has santos' jersey? i'll try and find it but anyways if some lucky fan manages to get it congrats you basically have a new blanket, that shirt is huge. (or if he has a tiny s/o who he loves smothering in his clothing i dunno 👀)

overall i'd like to think the team is just one big family, they have shared ancestry and that solidifies the bond they share with each other even if they aren't exactly related.

the other team members worry about santos taking on too much, with his reputation as an extremely difficult goalkeeper to get past when he does lose a point to the opposition it hits him hard. so the team does their best to pull their own weight, they want to have santos' back as much as he watches theirs.

de los santos is very much a protector type, i don't think he'd be the azul's captain, but he's definitely a pillar of support and morale for the team. (kind of a big bo and dancing rasta dynamic?)

the team definitely worries about relying on santos too much, but in reality santos likes being reliable and strong in the eyes of others, he longs to be needed so he doesn't end up as "forgotten" just like his home did.

honestly these guys probably try to keep out of the media too, but when they do get on an interview other than talking about the game they love talking about their culture. as "exotic" and "forgotten" it may seem to interviewers, to the team it's merely the childhood memories that link them all together. even if the city itself no longer stands.

i'm gonna make de los santos dating headcanons one day i swear because i have so much more to say about him—

Sanders Sides Punk AU Fanfic

Some of you may know of my love for @asofterfan’s Punk AU. However, it is deeply conflicting to me because I Am Not A Punk. I’ve never even asked to be part of the Punk Fam. That’s how Not Punk I am.

Therefore, I’ve written a fanfic that takes the form of a text chat between two characters that are a little more like me...Sloane and Corbin! In this AU for this AU, Sloane and Corbin are Nerds(tm). Corbin is on the bookish side of the spectrum, while Sloane is just. he’s really passionate about cartoons, ya know? Please enjoy! Warnings: swearing.

Sloane: fuck they’re grouping

Corbin: no, patton’s the nice one

Sloane: you absolute goddamn madman how have you been fooled

Corbin: maybe he’d take pity on us

Sloane: I told you I was in the class when logan threw the textbook at d’s head right

Corbin: do you think i would forget?

Sloane: the worst part is that he’s also a frickin genius so we can’t even use our nerd powers to defeat him

Corbin: you’d probably beat him at a steven universe contest though

Sloane: true

Corbin: ??

Sloane: you remembered the name of the show!

Corbin: you were JUST talking about it to me until two in the morning

Sloane: i barely remember what i said

Corbin: something about a steffonie character

Corbin: NO

Wednesday 3:00 PM

Sloane: you’re gonna be so proud i just talked to roman

Corbin: are you alive?

Sloane: yes but the raw punk essence pouring off him almost flayed me

and

i was asking him what plays they’re doing this year and then virgil came outta nowhere

Corbin: i should have been there for you

Sloane: no it’s fine

it was weird though

he went up to roman to ask when he was coming over and he actually looked like chill and stuff

then he noticed me and i s2g he bared his fangs like one of those feral raccoons around my house

then roman left with him

Corbin: i had a group project with him once. he’s not that bad

he did his work but he didn’t talk to me at all

Sloane: i know he’s not trying to be elitist or anything

but i don’t get why anyone would want to look so scary

Corbin: Nerd culture is choosing the things that you can and can not understand

and we can’t understand punk culture

Sloane: word
