I’m bored so my headcanons for some of the lords:

01 “Valiant One” : Really likes musics like classical or the music you would find in remuria

02 “Jade Maiden”: She hates apologizing with words so instead offers her Jade as a form of apology.

03 “Weaver of Secrets”: she would get ALL the gossip from her siblings, she knew everything about everyone but never uttered a word. Even kukulkan has come to her with things he wanted to get off his chest, she’s like a therapist in a way.

06 "He Who Shakes the Earth Like Thunder in His Wrath": LOVES making a entrance. Every time he would be the last one to attend and all of a sudden thunderstruck by AC/DC would start playing /hj

08 “Priestess of Floral Candles and Skyborne Feathers": Likes to groom the feathers and scales of her siblings, especially those who lack motivation to properly take care of themselves (cough cough 01 and 04). Best and quickest flyer among the thirteen lords.

09 “Chronicler of the End times” (My queen who I have way to long of a list for but I’ll just throw out one hc): Secretly loves reading books of fiction, often sneaking away to get her hands on stories written by dragons or even humans. (Kinda like Citlali with her light novels)

10 “Undying Wings of Lofty Isolation": He often did his own thing, preferring to be along then deal with the drama that the other lords dealt with. Lazy to the bone and attended meetings once every blue moon.

13 “Bone Breaker”: being the youngest meant he was constantly overshadowed by everyone thus resulting in him trying to prove himself as a leader. Very serious and often trying to mimic 01’s behaviors as he practically idolizes him.

So I was reading Och-Kan’s notes on Ixlel again (no, I’m totally not starving for content…don’t look at me like that😞) and this part came up

So I Was Reading Och-Kan’s Notes On Ixlel Again (no, I’m Totally Not Starving For Content…don’t

Now we all know she told him information about the draconic civilization such as the goals that they achieve. We now know one of the things that the things that Och-Kan censored with “(…)” which is the research on phlogistoniztion of life. Why did he feel the need to redact the important things in his diary… I do not know (ok I know it was Hoyo trying to keep stuff hidden but just imagining him personally redacting info is just funny)

Anyway, going back to my main topic, Do yall think she showed him the end times? Like what else would he be so scared about.

“Ink he literally stated that the dragons might take back power cause they have all these super cool tools that, we the lore researchers, do not know.” Hush, that’s not what I’m taking about.

Yes those scared him but what caught my attention was in the second paragraph “The memories she possesses”. Och-kan be specific, you’re not giving us much to work with… sure he could be referring to her memories of the dragon era but what if it’s memories of the end. I don’t know about y’all but when I think of a fortune teller or someone who can see outcomes, I think about someone who sees EVERY outcome imaginable. What if one of those outcomes was where dragons do regain power… that is more likely to scare Och-Kan so bad into wanting to strip her of her authority as fast as possible.

She’s a chronicler of the end times with a “s” at the end meaning that there is more than one end. Also how far does it go, is it apocalyptic end times or like if I was to go up against her in uno and she would know the outcome before we even even played… shit now my brain is starting to hurt from what even “End times” defines.

My apology for earlier, some Lilxel doodles (+ft. Cocouik/Och-kan). I kept seeing people tell me to put Och-Kan in a blender but Ixlel beat me to it.

Yes, her hair is down. I figured out a way to differentiate her from before and after that parasite. She has her hair down on the day that she got her heart.. yk and in the afterlife too cause she was stuck in a stupid statue.

Also personal hc, she sleeps like a man.

I realize that I never posted my Genshin Oc and got inspired to do so thanks to @/kayumuo (you guys really should check out her oc, he’s such a cutie) anyway

This is my Genshin Oc, Pumna!! (her name has no meaning, I made it up)

I Realize That I Never Posted My Genshin Oc And Got Inspired To Do So Thanks To @/kayumuo (you Guys Really
I Realize That I Never Posted My Genshin Oc And Got Inspired To Do So Thanks To @/kayumuo (you Guys Really
I Realize That I Never Posted My Genshin Oc And Got Inspired To Do So Thanks To @/kayumuo (you Guys Really

(Fyi, that’s not a tail, just a fabric that looks like the tail of a yumkasaur)

Pumna is a 5 star bow user with a geo vision.

So basically she was a yumkasaurus who was taken care of momentarily by Kinich. Prior to the war, she was experimented on by the fatui as well as other saurians, she ended up becoming human due to it. Shes pretty confident and bold when it comes to her personality, often leading her to underestimate opponents, this of course can be called the Ajaw influence. After becoming human, Pumna does not count on those two anymore and left to do her own thing, searching for any other saurian who might have been in the same situation as her.

For her stats:

Normal attack: She shots multiple arrows in four moves. For the first move she releases one arrow, for the second, she releases two, you get the rest right.

Hold: Geo charged attack like any bow user

Skill: Using her Geo vision, she pulls out arrows from her bracelet (you can see it in the pic) and uses the same move set as normal attack.

Burst (the most important thing that you should focus on when leveling her talents): When her burst is activated, her boots “crystallize” (I couldn’t figure out how to draw it buts its so cool in my head, trust, its like shapes *thumbs up*). She applies powerful hits that deal geo damage onto the enemy.

Exploration: She uses her bracelet like kinich and aims it at where ever she wants to grapple

Passive: When using her, you can interact with saurian npc’s like you would with you indwell within a saurian.

Passive: When in burst mode, anyone in Co-op gains 25% attack buff for a short amount of time; the more nightsoul points she gains, the longer the buff lasts. (I want to give it a dumb name like maybe “Pat on the Back” just for fun)

I have some fun dialogue/voice lines for her so:

About Kinich: “Oh, Kinich! It’s been a while since I’ve visited him… Did you know this scarf—yeah the one with a small bell— was actually a gift from him. When I was a young Yumkasaur, I tended to get distracted by everything, like I mean everything. Noise, something shiny, whatever it was usually caused me to be led astray from him. He got fed up with me constantly running way and no matter how much he got Ajaw to tell me to not go far from them, I could never help myself. Kinich ended up placing this on me in case someone else were to find me so they could return me or for the bell to ring so he could find me on his own…Why do I still have it? So he can hear me coming of course!”

About Xilonen: “Xilonen! Thanks for reminding me, I need to bring back some ores she requested. She was actually the one who helped create my ear muffs, I requested them from her a bit ago when I saved enough mora. Soaring through the winds of the canopy tend to irritate my ears so she came up with a solution. Xilonen is great, actually, do you mind dropping off the ores for me? Thanks.”

About Ajaw: “Did you know I used to purposely do things to get Ajaw in trouble. You can’t blame me, he is SO easy to set off. My favorite thing was to hide my part of the meal and then take his while Kinich wasn’t looking, he of course would get mad at me but Kinich never believed him. Cruel? Please, he doesn’t need to eat… not really at least.”

Favorite food: “Spice! Make it as hot as you possibly can, perhaps even add some liquid phlogiston for a little kick. Don’t look at me like that, I was joking.”

Least Favorite food: “I can’t stand sea food, fine, fish I will eat but anything else? Nope! No way!”

Here is her emote and Special:

“Ink… dont you think that Ajaw is 10?” Yes but that’s not the point of this, plus I’m not against him being 04 and actually really love that theory so much. (Ajaw please be 10 or 04🙏🏻)

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…

Guys Can We Please Draw Xiuhcoatl Like The Blue Eyed Freak He Is 🙏 (I’m Joking I Love Blue Eyed
Guys Can We Please Draw Xiuhcoatl Like The Blue Eyed Freak He Is 🙏 (I’m Joking I Love Blue Eyed

“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

Guys Can We Please Draw Xiuhcoatl Like The Blue Eyed Freak He Is 🙏 (I’m Joking I Love Blue Eyed
Guys Can We Please Draw Xiuhcoatl Like The Blue Eyed Freak He Is 🙏 (I’m Joking I Love Blue Eyed

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.)

Hey Chat, Anyone Here Know How Or Where To Find Translations

We know what Ajaw and Ch’ulel mean but I don’t have the slightest clue about the other words and can’t find where to translate. (This is my favorite OST if you guys are wondering😊. I can literally stand hours in the chamber of deliberation for this track)
