Xiuhcoatl - Blog Posts
Did you guys enjoy that meme? Good, good…
How about some nice angst to balance it out, it’s been to joyful on this blog lately.
Doomed brothers from Genshin combined with doomed brothers from supernatural….
(If you guys look really closely at Xiuhcoatl’s dialogue, you can see his inscriptions have a bit of purple to them 😁)
If you are part of it, post this in your blog
Rise Xiuhnation… RISE!!
(Made by @kajenus )
What do you mean this dialogue wasn't in the 5.5 WQ flahsbacks? I saw it with my two very own eyes.
(Inspired by a post I saw here but can't find now- I'll link it up when I do)
Spoilers for 5.6 Archon quest!!!!
Spoilers for 5.6 Archon quest!!!!
This is my son now, expect me to be a Durin main in the future.
Hoyo dont play with my emotions like this… THE WINGS, THE HORNS, AHHHHHH!!! I need more screen time, I need his playstyle—HE BETTER BE ABLE TO FLY.
How can I tie this to Natlan and possibly Xiuhcoatl rebirth.
Well one of the ingredients was flesh from the “immortal monster” of Mare Jivari, which is in natlan. I also found it interesting how to create life you need three ingredients. Sighhhhhh Hoyo I see what you’re doing, stop with the number three. Also could this possibly tie to how och-kan was created (maybe the other Dragonlords too??)
I mean dragon blood (check), flesh from the monster (check possibly), and an embryo. We don’t know if it’s exactly one of Rhine’s embryo or if it could truly be ANY embryo.
ALSO NAME DROP OF THE SHADE OF LIFE??AKA NABERIUS???
Guys I’m losing my mind (when am I not?)
It came to me in a vision…
Enjoy my first and last edit ever staring Huitzilopochtli and the song Blow by Ke$ha. Your welcome.
I’m bored out of my mind in class right now so I decided to compose a small list of my biggest natlan “What if”s. Bare with me 🙏
Starting strong with what if Ixlel joined the natlan human gang. It technically could work if she foresaw the fate of tollan so what if she ran off. Not sure how big the age difference between the cousins (her and Och-kan have) but I like to assume it’s not too big so what if Ixlel and Och-Kan both were from the same human tribe
How much different would it be if Kukulkan was the one to get infected by the abyss instead of Xiuhcoatl. Would Och-Kan even exist. What if in this scenario, the lords were only created to help kukulkan and with each lord failing, Xiuhcoatl created another one (he still stopped at 13 cause it was getting expensive, lmao).
I’ve kinda talked about this but what if instead of admiration, Och-Kan felt unbelievable jealousy and hate. Xbalanque literally took everything from him, his BIRTH purpose, his father, like I’m just saying I would feel hatred like nobody before.
What if Och-Kan was never released to the humans. I know in the notes Kukulkan released him cause the lords wanted to kill Och-Kan but what if he was raised among the dragons. How different would the human gang be, would Yunpanqui have even joined?? OH BETTER YET, his hatred was turned on Humans for all THEY have done when they (if the narrative still went as it should) stormed Tollan, killing the lords.
I know the titles that the lords have are just titles but I like to believe are more significant then that where it be their purpose or a hit at their fates so what if the titles were switched around. (I mean the titles are LITERALLY their names too so there is NO WAY they are not important to the characters)
Ima stop here for now but guys, think about it. The butterfly effect and how different things could have turned out… I’m just saying.
Guys can we please draw Xiuhcoatl like the blue eyed freak he is 🙏 (I’m joking I love blue eyed people)
This isn’t confirmed or anything but if we follow the pattern of Ixlel and Ajaw it’s safe to assume that the other lords also bare blue eyes. Which only means Xiuhcoatl does too…
“Ink, kukulkan doesn’t have blue eyes.” Yeah but he also isn’t Xiuhcoatl’s offspring plus he has yellow eyes which Och-Kan follows
I’m just saying guys, blue eyed Xiuhcoatl…
(I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and be like “Yo, wtf was I on last night??” It’s pretty late for me rn 😭)
Rada, I’m going to explode if you don’t post this on Ao3. THIS WAS SO GOOD OMFG!!! I do not even have the right words to express how much I loved this. Definitely gonna reread it 100 times until the end of times come.
I KEPT LAUGHING AT KUKULKAN’S WAY OF DESCRIBING THE BABY 😭🙏.
ONGGGGG I CAN'T ANYMORE I HAVE TO WRITE FIRST-TIME MAMA XIUHCOATL STRUGGLING WITH HIS FIRSTBORN BABY CL-01 AAAAAAA I CANNOT CONTROL MY HANDS-
Written from Kukulkan's pov. Beware the bitterness. But Nibelung is here too and I write them really chill🤙
Btw should I upload this in Ao3 or let it stay in tumblr jail alongside the CL-04 fic?
"You should entrust him to a servant, my lord."
His lordly elder brother, the Sovereign whose dominion resided over the element of Pyro, ruler of the land blessed by phlogiston, the ever-majestic, wise, powerful, Xiuhcoatl, barely could turn his head.
All his attention was given to the little bundle in his arms, his eyes flitted between that tiny thing and Kukulkan, worried.
"I. Cannot." He said, in between that flitting gaze. "The Formidable Father would arrive soon and the people would hail us. We have not the time-"
"All the more reason to entrust him to a servants arms, my lord. Or shall you let him embarass us with his... behaviour?"
Xiuhcoatl opened his mouth, probably wanting to spit something laced with offence, but the baby's wail cut through his spite.
It was thundering, that wail. Raging and deafening like the coming of torrent. One that was haunting this entire moment.
Xiuhcoatl shushed that tiny thing, but the sound seemed only to egg that horrid thing to cry louder.
Kukulkan should have expected this outcome ever since the proposal of a formal meeting between them, the kingdom of the Primal Flame, and the Formidable Father, was voiced. It was not like the Formidable Father never visited his fellow Sovereigns, he came and went like the calming breeze, always welcomed and amicable. But this was the first time that he would officially 'meet' the Pyro Sovereign and his court, ever since the birth of its newest member,
That little, wailing thing, screaming atop of its tiny lungs and grasping his tiny fists to the sky, as if the air surrounding him offends him, whom Xiuhcoatl desperately tried to soothe.
That title and name tasted bitter in his tongue now, ash-like.
On a second thought, he should've see this coming in the moment when Xiuhcoatl hailed his birth, surprising and staggering, as he announced the baby by lifting with his hands up above for the whole stupefied court to see.
"Behold," he had boasted, full of bright smile and misplaced pride, "your first Dragonlord, my first son, CL-01, the Valiant One, Aj Nimalaj Chuq'ab Hun!"
The entire court was silent when they laid their eyes on them. And the silence was even more deafening when the sounds of that newborn's name and title resounded throughout the hall.
Before that moment, Xiuhcoatl had shutted himself inside his laboratory. One flowed with the power of the Primal Flame, the space filled with their races birthing blood.
None of Xiuhcoatl's subjects could know for certain what made him cooped there for so long, and some whisper in fear that he would bring a bad omen through his hands. Kukulkan had scoffed at that. Whatever objects or plans his brother had concocted, it was love and hope that he built the base upon. Not that Kukulkan would utter that knowledge straight to his brother's ears, though.
Alas, the thing that had emerged from his room and hoisted above upon that confounded crowd was beyond anyone's prediction, even Kukulkan's.
It was when the first shout had come, "He's glorious, my lord!"
And the other followed, "Yes, he shines bright and beautiful. Indeed, he shall grow strong and great!"
"Verily so, even now he must embodied the meaning of his name, the Valiant One!"
"The Valiant, our Dragonlord!"
And the cacophony of praise and well-wishes that followed, and the even brighter, burning smile that adorned his brother's face back then, that it had registered upon Kukulkan's mind-
'...First son?'
Xiuhcoatl had scolded him, that he, "has not received the newest member of our kin with proper joy and welcome. Please, Kukulkan. I know your character, but could you please be joyous in regard to the growing number of our brood?"
How back then he almost shouted, 'How could that thing could be of our blood, without foretelling or even a warning!? How could you just brought him up and force us to just accept him with fanfare!?'
But then he had chosen to grunt. How he sorely regretted to not voice his complain back then.
Now they must confront the damning consequence of that inaction. The shrill, ear-splitting yells. "How much time it takes to call a servant and calm him down? They stand just behind us. I shall call them now-"
"No, no, a huge crowd of people would only unsettle him more." As if Xiuhcoatl didn't display him upon the court back then, and they wouldn't formally introduce him to the highest power of the world soon enough! The little thing didn't scream his lungs off when he was propped above the crowd, nor the events after that.
He was fed. He was clothed. He slept well and enough. He was warm and he was loved. This little brat was crying just to spite them. "He'll calm down soon enough. We-"
"The 'soon enough' would be the time when the Formidable Father arrived, my lord. Of course, if you wish to greet them with such a furious cry, I have no objection, my lord."
The thing's wail cut the air once again, as if an enemy nodding along with his opponent's remark. Did this thing understand that they were in opposing sides?
"Good grief, Kukulkan. He's young, of course he would cry." He snarled, rocking the baby back and forth, patting his back, hoisting him closer. "I recall that your tears were also easily drawn out, back when we were also mere youth. You cannot judge him-"
"They were not without reason. And it is not my point. Just entrust him to a servant and be done with it. Once he calmed down, call the servant again and only after that we present him to-"
"No one could soothe him beside his nursemaid and I. And his nursemaid has called ill-"
"He has an array of caretakers. With only one fallen, the other must step up to her place. And it's her duty in the first place-"
"I've said that only his nursemaid and I could soothe his cries. No other than us could. And you think that I would work a subject of mine through her illness? I am not that-"
"Goodness, you are spoiling that child, you make him weak. He should accept that not all the world would fall to their knees and lick the ground he stepped-"
Before they could continue their argument, suddenly, as if finally gathering sentience and understanding the quarrel and the situation, that yelling, red-faced thing, ceased his terrible cries.
That was enough to silence them both. Xiuhcoatl slowed down his rocking and took a closer look to his face, scrutinizing, but with a look of relief.
Kukulkan was more than glad to voice his relieved groan, "Finally, he quiten down. Ah, raise your gaze, lord brother. The wings of the moon-"
"Wait," Xiuhcoatl said, worriedly, so much that Kukulkan returned his gaze to him. "He's ruckling his face."
"...And why is that concerning?"
"Because when he does that, he-"
Alas, Xiuhcoatl's words were cut off by the powerful blow of the wind, generated by the flaps of massive wings, currently shrinking. And yet, though greatly reducing the size, the figure still stood tall and majestic, glowing like the moon.
Formidable Father was here.
Kukulkan and Xiuhcoatl immediately bowed, though it was more difficult for the latter with the baby in tow. Somehow, even with Kukulkan noticing, the baby prevented their minds to fully register the coming of this venerable figure. Kukulkan tried to save their graces by opening the greeting. Bending his knees, kissed the earth, and said with his eyes still upon the ground "You have wearied yourself in coming, Formidable Father. Come and rest, my-"
"There is no need for such formality, dear child. My coming here is none other to greet the newest member of your brood. Come closer, my child. Is that tiny babe in your arms the expected child? Even afar, I could hardly describe him other than precious and charming. Yes, come closer, I wish to see him properly."
Xiuhcoatl, despite the reluctance exuding from his figure, stepped forward. From the years of standing by his side that Kukulkan could notice Xiuhcoatl's trembling arms and nervous gestures, as he display the baby in his arms, things that he easily hidden from others in plain sight. How his throat gulped when the Formidable Father touched the child, even tenderly. "May I?"
As if any of them could ever refuse the mightiest Sovereign. Xiuhcoatl gave the baby to them, though his serene expression said, 'no, no, please, my son, not now. Please, not in front of the Formidable Father.' The dragon in question received the bundle with such warmth, with such care, one could believe that they shared blood, that they were a pair of a grandfather, a father, and the newly born son.
Almost like a family.
Alas, not all thing is as soft as it looks. Ah, the ugliest and smelliest thing is also soft, too.
That was the happening now. The Formidable Father, though shrinked, still towered in figure and size. His two palms were enough to wrap the entirety of the baby's figure. He looked more cupped than held in the Formidable Father's hands, even with all the swadling cloth. Xiuhcoatl, seeing that there was no incident imminent, seen from the way he softened his gaze, started to talk to the Formidable Father about the baby, the growing city that he designated to be ruled by the tiny being in their arms someday (yet another decision that he took almost by himself), and his own state of affairs.
All almost went so well, too well, in fact, that the aforementioned happening that was thought to be avoided, turns out was being merely delayed.
Because then, between that the talk, the babe stirred.
And it was not the stirring of awakening, of regaining energy to behold the world with that childish sentience. No, it was-
"Ah," the Formidable Father said, so soft it almost sound as mere exertion of his breaths, if not for the stench of foulness, and the wriggling figure in their hands. "...it seems... the babe has..."
They did not need to continue. The smell already indicated everything.
And how horrified Xiuhcoatl's expression was.
The next passing was almost blurry with its chaos and hastiness. Xiuhcostl snatched the baby from the Formidable Father's hands, almost running off, but then stopped himself first with penitent bowing and frantic apologies, saying that he couldn't stay in this place before he ran away. Of course, he entrusted the duty to explain and clean the Formidable Father to him, his brother, always the convenient scapegoat. How he trembled, sighed, and frustratedly carried on his mission, both fearing and expecting the highest Sovereign's wrath.
Them, however, took the terrible happening with humor, as if it was something to be guffawed about. "I know that he's too quiet for a babe his age. I should already expect that. My, my." Then they laughed their heart away as they cleaned their hands.
If there was any lesson to be taken from such an embarassing happening, was that his brothet should curdle his foolish hope of raising another product of this kind of experiment. Bury that notion of "second son, third son" beneath the deepest of the ground. Thankfully, it seemed that this shameful moment hammered that thought deep inside Xiuhcoatl's mind. At least even when the baby's cries resounded throughout the palace, the thought that it would multiplied by quantity would not become a reality, and it gave him a good quality of sleep.
(Later on, when his brother emerged from his experiment chamber, the same one with phlogiston blessing upon the air, soil, and current, the wisdom that birthed his first child, face aglow, tired yet joyous, he did not need another announcement to know what was coming. The only thing that slightly surprised him though, was his wistful smile, "This is my second child and first daughter, CL-02, the Jade Maiden, Ix Je'lal K'ua'l Ka'".
He badly hope then, that the babe was slightly better than her elder brother. Younger siblings tend to be better than their elders, after all. Kukulkan himself was the example.)
Tired of Roblox for today so y’all get charts:
(do i add the OG charts???)
Hey so I ate this, thanks for the meal
Before you guys behold my Xiuhcoatl's design, ypu guys have to read the convo of the coloring session.
>Borrowed lil bro's colored pencils. >Lil bro saw the red-blue lines & the snakes: "are you drawing toothpaste anime tentacle hentai?" >we smacked each other down. >continued to color. Lil bro somehow joined. >colored the hair. Wanted blueflame tips. Then Lil bro commented: "why there are some green there" >"wtf it isn't supposed to be there." It did. I initially wanted rainbow blotches like paints on his hair. I proceeded to gaslight my Lil bro that it wasn't there before. He didn't take it😓>"wait," said Lil bro, "shouldn't you, uh, what it's called... outline it first?" >"...idk how to outline. How about you?" >"tf no it's your drawing. Do it yourself." >"tf you're trying to color it then!!!???" >proceeded to argue before accepting that none of us can draw. >trying to finish the hair. Realized that we don't have purple pencil for gradation. Gave up. >"I still think you're trying to draw tentacle hentai" >proceeded to argue again.
Okay lo and behold, my masterpiece. It's cringe but we live that cringe life amiright.
"Why he looks like a femboy" bcs I like femboy.
WAIT BEFORE YOU GUYS STONE ME I CAN EXPLAIN-
The main inspiration for his design came from Dark Sun Gwyndolin from Dark Soul.
He have many similarities with my Xiuhcoatl. He was born as a boy, but raised as a daughter because of his affinity to moon magic. He was the youngest child of a god who brought fire to mankind. However, shit happened and the age of darkness came. His siblings died or fled one by one and he was the last one standing in his city. After his father left, he claimed himself to be the Dark Sun. He then proceeded to create illusion to maintain the city, becoming a bit tyrannical in the process. Btw he also had a "younger sister"/girl who claimed she was one, whom he was very close with but it's really unknown who's her true identity. But then shit happened again and he was devoured by a god devourer. I love his moon/sun theming, his desperation to maintain his city even if it all went shit in the end, his ambiguous gender indentity (there are debates all across the internet regarding it, but since the majority & his younger sister regarded him as a "he", I shall call him a "he"), and his SNAKES YAHOOO. Like his design is gorgeous overall but the snakes? They really elevate him to the stratosphere.
Still related to the snakes, you guys probably have read my post about Xiuhcoatl's link with the Tzitzimimeh. Now I particularly laser-focused on Coatlicue, the mother of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, the stars gods Centzon Huītznāuhtin, and the god of war and fire Huitzilopochtli. Coatlicue's name means "skirt of snakes". Oh boy how it fits Gwyndolin😋
If you count the snakes, there are 13 of them, representing the Dragonlords. "Where are the Princes" we don't know much about them😭 "are there any special distinction between the snakes" no I don't have enough skill to draw snakes😭 but I do love how the snakes sprouted out from his skirt, it looks like they sprouted from his loins *cough*, just like how they refer parents in archaic poetry & bible. For example: "Blest is the father from whose loins you sprung" (Odyssey, Book VI). Fun fact, the littlest of snakes you see in the front? I made it in the last minute when I recounted the snakes and there were only 12, but it became my favorite. Look at that silly goober🥰
Onto the dress/huipil itself... no, it's not anything special. I based it from this image:
I don't even manage to add the feathers on the rectangle😭 uoghh it could elevate his design... my Xiuhcoatl would adore to dress in ostentatious clothing and jewelery, I made a disgrace to him😓 I swear if I can draw better I'll draw him in the most elegant clothing you ever saw.
The lowest part of the skirt/cuēitl is supposed to be a frill, to give him a modern huipil (this is tehuana huipil!) touch like this:
But as you can see I suck at drawing🥰
The red-blue lines also followed the huipil's pattern, but yk, that's the color of the flame, and Xiuhcoatl is the Pyro Sovereign and based after a fiery blue serpent, so it fits🥰 "no it doesn't he looks like a toothpaste" be quiet😭
For his hair, initially, I wanted to have rainbow splotches on the tips, so his hair looks like a painting brush (his hair is dark brown). But I (my brother really) can't color to save our lives😅 then I switched to flame colors for the tips, from lightest blue to red then dark brown. However, as you can see, I fucked up😭
For his bangs, I actually based it after Lumine!
I'll save you from the brain aneurysm of theory, you only need to know that they both represent the feminine aspect of the twins.
And finally, his side feathers! You know from whom I based it!
His rizzler twin brother, Kukulkan😋 to tie them together!
For more explaination of his feminine side and his life in general, see this post.
For Xiuhcoatl's alternate design, see the one made by the amazing- I mean my sworn enemy @kajenus 👿
Okay thank you if you guys stay put in this weird ahh yapping. You guys are awesome and I hope you have a wonderful day/night wherever you are!🫶

YESYEYSYEYSYSYYEYS
Inspired by that trend from a few months ago with "Fukuouna Girl" from Stomach Book I just think she's be so angry if she knew her own story, you know? I feel like she'd have this kind of rage that only comes from being goddess of the southern stars, and then all of your brother's bodies becoming the stars that litter the battleground of the angry night sky you rule. I don't know if I'm onto something or just think older sisters deserve to be angry
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
