Codex Fejervary-Mayer Tezcatlipoca

YOOOYOOOO YOOOOO

ECHOES OF TIME...

WHAT THE FUCK!!!! I FORGOT TO REBLOG!!!!!!

I don't know how well oc art typically does on tumblr, but I'm dropping Coyoxauqui (based on the aztec goddess) here anyway, because she looks so cool actually

Sometimes I feel like the entire aztec pantheon is this at least a little bit

I like how itztlacoliuhqui because In some myths he's a representation of the morning star, an avatar of the feathered serpent, or Quetzalcoatl but when he got shot by the arrow he descended to the underworld and became the twisted obsidian blade, or almost like an avatar of Tezcatlipoca....... So it's really cool how these gods just kinda mesh together

Yeah it's insane how every time I do research on him I find a new deity who is also at least partially Tezcatlipoca. Even he and Quetzalcoatl have been called the same titles.

Your brain is telling you the correct things family angst family angst family angst

Fascinating phenomena where my brains can only think of fanfic ideas when I'm writing a essay on a completely different subject

Aztec mythology headcanons two!

Nanahuatzin uses mobility aids

Tecciztecatl plays with the children in Tlalocan (this is actually based off of something I found in mexicolore)

(So cute)

Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl used to drag Xipe Totec into their fights when they were little to ask who was in the right (I was Xipe Totec to my niece and nephew. So much chaos)

Quetzalcoatl doesn’t pick up the cues that he’s being an asshole

Tezcatlipoca has had a chair thrown at him before

Tecciztecatl has a plushie snail somewhere. He denies it when you ask. But it’s there.

Chalchiuhtlicue gives great hugs

Last list here!

I know there’s a language barrier between us but I’d like to say your art is a big inspiration for what I want to become. The use of color and the familiar sketchy feel just brings me so much joy :3

My man is a stagnant water

A mud-your-linen, cacklin' bogland

Waded in his iris to my knees

I bathed in his mouth overnight

We drank moonbeams from oily skies

Come dawn, he begged me, "Please, love, never leave"

Random Aztec mythos headcanons because why not

• The moon (Tecciztecatl) controls the tides because the Tlaloques begged Acuecueyotl/Chalchiuhtlicue to give him a job so that he wouldn’t feel useless. Also because they wanted their “brother” to stay in Tlalocan.

• Xolotl could absolutely devour a chicken salad BLT. I have no evidence for this. He just seems like a BLT guy.

• Tezcatlipoca drops into the animal baby voice when he thinks no one is around.

• Nanahuatzin is undiagnosed autistic because he kinda reminds me of lil undiagnosed me when I didn’t understand why I never really fit in :(

• Quetzalcoatl created Olms (olm pic for reference) and Xolotl hated them so much for copying his style that he put them all in Europe.

• Tonatiuh and Huitzilopochtli flip a coin on who wants to drive the sun that day

• Tecciztecatl is just the dad and dog meme with the moon rabbit

UPDATE YOU CAN GET IT ON A PILLOW

I just found an Etsy seller with post card of Tecciztecatl on a bike. It’s so niche. I love it.
