So You Guys Know How Ajaw Keeps Flashing People With His Pixelated Winker To Assert Dominance. Hear Me

Okay so you guys know that Ixlel had that whole eldritch aura going on right?

And the description from the nameless artisan/Manqu:

Slowly and calmly she walked towards me, as if the fire were nothing more than a gentle spring breeze. Her face... I have never seen anything like it. Even the purest of crystals could not be fashioned into the likeness of such skin, nor could the purest of turquoise be carved into such eyes. Yet for reasons I cannot explain, that face, which should have been the very picture of beauty, was... so nauseatingly repulsive... Through those turquoise eyes, those pupils whose beauty was almost terrifying, I saw naught but endless, unfathomable darkness and void; a space that no language could describe, unlike anything I have ever seen in the brief few decades of my transient life.

- Artisan's memo (III)

So I thought, "Hmm, the other Dragonlords probably had this eldritch-ness going on. Even more so for their sire, Xiuhcoatl. Plus, there's already eldritch element in Natlan; that mf Gosoythoth that's inspired from Yog-Sothoth"

From there I was digging through the possible eldritch figure that could inspire Xiuhcoatl.

And well don't you look at that?

Yig, the Father of Serpents.

Disclaimer: I have yet to read H.P Lovecraft's works and I haven't dabble to much in eldritch fiction, so all my knowledge about this figure comes from the wikis. Also, for those who don't know, H.P Lovecraft was a massive racist-fuck, and it bleed to his works with many of the eldritch figures were seemingly inspired from indigenous deities/spirits. So tread his works with care.

Yig is a eldritch deity introduced in the book "The Curse of Yig" co-written by H.P Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop. He is "the snake-god of the central plains tribes," and "a shunned and feared object in central Oklahoma."

The story describes him as:

an odd, half-anthropomorphic devil of highly arbitrary and capricious nature. He was not wholly evil, and was usually quite well-disposed toward those who gave proper respect to him and his children, the serpents; but in the autumn he became abnormally ravenous, and had to be driven away by means of suitable rites.

The snake-god's chief quality was "a relentless devotion to his children," making it taboo to kill snakes. Those "who flouted him or wreaked harm upon his wriggling progeny" would suffer the "curse of Yig," in which the deity would "turn his victim, after suitable tortures, to a spotted snake."

In one of the expanded Cthulhu mythos (works that are written by people other than H.P Lovecraft), his mate is Coatlicue, which in the real-life mythology has many snake motives and is the mother of the sun god Huitzilopochtli, the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, and the gods of the stars Centzon Huitznahua. And you know who's the creator of the in-game Huitzilopochtli right.

An in-story ethnologist stated that Yig is the dark prototype for the more benevolent Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan (you see where I'm going.)

But this part is what I consider to be the most fascinating: Yig was also one of the two main gods (the other being Cthulhu) worshipped by the people of K'n-yan, a subterranean realm under a "sky" of glowing blue clouds similar to the Northern Lights, occupied by a hidden race of advanced prehistoric humanoids. They hailed from a planet much like Earth, the K'n-yanians were supposedly brought across space by Tulu, founding a vast and mighty civilisation. However, after the Mu continent sank, they sealed themselves away from the rest of the world. They blamed the "Space-devils" for the great sinking that "submerged the gods themselves, including great Tulu, who still lay prisoned and dreaming..." with the only human survivors being the space-devils' own agents.

K'n-Yan is the name of the author of "The Men of Lithin". And reading their history... doesn't they sound a bit similar to Khaenri'ah? Plus, this 'space-devils' is a bit similar to the Primordial One's coming. Defeating the original gods and then planted their own agents...

Huh, what if Nibelung is supposed to be Cthulhu? Being worshipped alongside Xiuhcoatl, and his murals showed up in Natlan. That also kinda explain why he looked similar to Xiuhcoatl in the murals?

Idk, I just want to share my discovery with you. In another note, kdnsjkskssnns "Father of Serpents" and fierce love for his children... my 'mama Xiuhcoatl' agenda isn't that far-fetched I guess!

Btw this is how Yig's children look like. Aren't they adorable😍

Went back to talk with one of our little robot dragons, and when he said THAT I already was like "oh no. No no no-"

And then.

HoYo, istg, just kill me at this point. JUST KILL ME. THE ANGST IS BECOMING UNBEARABLE

Sorry for the late memes, I had a world quest to do (i have not finished so no spoilers)

We have a special one tonight featuring @kajenus and me during struggling during the quest:

“No Ink, stop posting things that make everyone miserable. You’re the clown in this frown town 🙏.” To that I say:

Xiuhcoatl and Kukulkan. The Coyote is the Abyss ☺️

If it wasn’t for these two users on x (twitter) then I would never even be on it

In filanta and luluraemi we trust

Working on a new OC based off a medieval sea-dragon that @kajenus told me about, thanks bro❤️

You can read about it on here

Got done with exams early but can’t leave yet so new Lil doodle

One day I’m going to talk about the dragon lords and their titles. ON EVERYONE’S SOULS, Ixlel can see the future 👍. It her entire name, I’ll be damned if it’s not important.

(In 3 she says “Chat…something is about to happen…” in case my handwriting is absolute shit)

Memes are gonna be later tonight sorry guys 😭🙏

mentally I'm still in Ochkanatlan

I like this high tower at the entrance. there's nothing else besides the Statue of the Seven in this tower, making it seem like it's here to house the Statue (or something else long gone but bear with me) I also like how unusual it is for Statues of the Seven to seem like an actual part of the environment and not just kind of there. obviously this could've been just an empty tower in ruins but it kinda makes it seem like this tower is here to house the Statue

so like... these Statues, how old are they? likely 500 years old for the current ones. but I always liked to think they've been a thing since the first Archons and they used to be updated to whoever is the current Archon but stopped being updated after the Cataclysm

obviously, if this Statue existed at the time it would be depicting Xbalanque. so I can't help but be here kinda wondering if Och-Kan had this tower built to keep his god's statue inside it 💀

this place where you'll find a sword:

what sword is this?? i'm looking on the wiki but can't find anything. this is NOT the Flute of Ezpitzal

if you draw the sword, you get teleported to a place where you can get an actual copy of the Flute of Ezpitzal to use on your def scaling sword users

which is above the clouds, far above the Ochkanatlan area (you can plunge to it), and is situated directly above the throne of the primal flame:

wonder if this is where Maghan was active, hence why his sword is here... especially the fog. okay it's above the clouds but I don't remember other areas above the clouds being this misty so -

Manqu's hideout, I think because this shining thing on the table is most of his notes

and

i wonder if Och-Kan resided there, because this place is littered with his writings (note I to VI). it's directly accross the Ixlel's statue too... i doubt he resided in the underground but maybe stayed there to oversee the excavation?

oh and bonus:

giving us this idle and 2 updates later the possibility to photography ourselves next to corpses is giving me too much power second worst dragon he hunted, at least on my acc

Digital artists who only use a few brushes for their fully rendered artwork scare me. Wdym you don’t have several gigabytes of brushes that you barely use. What do you mean you use the same five brushes for everything. What do you mean there is such a thing as enough brushes??? You’re obviously wrong, there is never such thing as enough brushes.
