Quetzalcoatl as depicted in Codex Borbonicus

Fuck but because I feel bad eating him and there’s too much for me to reasonably eat

The Feathered Serpent is a prominent supernatural entity or deity found in many Mesoamerican religions. It is called Quetzalcoatl among the Aztecs; Kukulkan among the Yucatec Maya; and Q'uq'umatz and Tohil among the K'iche' Maya. The double symbolism used by the Feathered Serpent is considered allegoric to the dual nature of the deity: Being feathered represents its divine nature or ability to fly to reach the skies; being a serpent represents its human nature or ability to creep on the ground among other animals of the Earth, a dualism very common in Mesoamerican deities.

Woy reference

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

I really do feel like he misses him because one that’s his brother and they’ve worked together before and two that’s his equal and opposite

Tez every time he remembers that his brother hasn't returned after 500 years:

Maybe intoxicate him with pulque wasn't the best idea.

Sorry y’all I died again

Thanks tumblrbot. That’s my own post.

I love this one specific image of Quetzalcoatl and Xolotl because bro is so tired. He’s wondering why he ever agreed to help his brother.

Whoops I haven’t drawn in forever

FIREEEEE (team Tezcatlipoca for the win tho /j)

Quetzalcoatl, aka the coolest Aztec deity there is🔥 this is based off a statue I got from Mexico

Names mispelled by auto captions on the five suns: sacred history of Mexico that made me giggle in some capacity

So I stole @badmusicisisgoodmusic ‘s headcanon that Tecciztecatl randomly sings his heart out and I finally decided on what I feel is a good voice claim

Extra

Weird lil comic I made based off a real experience I had while my eldest sister drove me somewhere (Quetzalcoatl’s name replaces my other older sister)

PFFF TYANK YOU

Do you want us to stab dictators like what

YAAAA I LOVE THAT FILM

Bet no one expected me to draw THESE guys again, anyways I rewatched The Five Suns and can’t stop thinkin’ about the tezcatlipocas playing their ballgame — also I codex borgia’d your 0zzy

Sometimes the things I say while explaining mythology sound weird out of context. I was talking about the creation of bats and i genuinely said “well it started when Quetzalcoatl was straight jorkin it”

Thank you Toastedclownery for reminding me that the sun was dark i somehow forgot about that detail 😭

I’ve had enough —Quetzalcoatl for some reason

Do you think they asked him to pose like this or he just did that /ref

I’ve had enough —Quetzalcoatl for some reason

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
