Huitzilopochtli and Coyolxauhqui -

The God of War, who acts as the Sun, Huitzilopochtli was threatened by his sister, Coyolxauhqui, Goddess of the Moon, when he was yet to be born. Along with her hundreds of siblings, the Gods of the Stars, Coyolxauhqui went to attack Huitzilopochtli on the day of his birth. When he came out of his mother’s womb, he flew with a snake covered in flames and beheaded and killed her, then proceeded to slay the rest of the Star Gods.

Oh yeah there’s also this bit

“Sahagún's passage describing the Toxcatl impersonator reads like the rapt portrayal of a man whose beauty approximated that of the ideal unmarried Aztec woman”

You can technically make Tezcatlipoca wear a maid dress and it would (kinda) work

"Although Sahagún never witnessed the Toxcatl rite, he described it at length in his encyclopedic Florentine Codex, in which he included his Aztec informants’ vivid description of the ideal victim’s physical appearance...I will argue not only that the young Aztec impersonator was chosen for his androgynous appearance but also that, during the events leading up to the moment of his death, his gender—but not his sex—was symbolically feminized to the point where he transcended the male-female binary altogether. The impersonator’s increasingly ambiguous gender, in other words, served as a visual sign of his association with, and ultimate transformation into, the god himself

D-does this mean Tezcatlipoca nonbinary??????

:0

Quetzalcoatl as depicted in Codex Borbonicus

I know 😔

I blame @thirteene42 for giving me evil inspiration

My leg started cramping really badly when I was drawing this and it was probably a sign from a higher power that I should stop but I didn’t

Beach episode when?

I figured out what swimsuit he'd wear, too!

Who let him get away with this

Teefers

Okay maybe I'll work on him next

I need to stop reading at midnight I read that as “Quetzalcoatl, the rain god’s wife” and I was thinking double congrats on the transition and the marriage Quetzalcoatl
