Hi!, This Is Anon Who Asked You What Type Of Music The 4 Tezcatlipocas Would Listen To. This Will Be
Hi!, this is anon who asked you what type of music the 4 tezcatlipocas would listen to. This will be a long question so take your time reading it you don’t need to answer it right away :)
Am here, to ask about how you and your buddies sort y’all’s information about not only Aztec but other pantheons, as well the country/culture that pantheon is from.
Am creating a story about characters getting chosen or trained to be a god's “champion” like they’re here to represent the god and help people by fighting monsters. Some champions aren’t gonna be the same as their god (for example Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl don’t usually get along with one another, but their champions do. Huitzilopochtli is more stoic and quiet while his champion is more outgoing and fun)
You can send this question to other blogs that tackle mythology too or could send ideas about some character designs they wish people added into a mythology series
You can call me pen anon for now thank you :)

Heya pen anon! Side note before I start rambling I really enjoyed your last ask :D
I just want to start by saying that your idea seems awesome, it's a great and creative concept (is it going to be posted anywhere? I'd definitely want to check it out when it's done if thats possible haha)! I also want to say that I'm still learning about Aztec mythology and the countless myths and I'm still learning about a lot of them (same goes for other mythologies!)
As for getting information, all you need to do is a quick google search for different gods and myths. Some sources are more official and go into more depth about different aspects of the mythology, whilst others just give a brief recap. For Aztec mythology, I recommend you to go to mayaincaaztec.com and click on "aztec religion".
Another source of information is Youtube. Specifically, I like the channel "overly sarcastic productions" because they organize different myths into 15-20 min videos and also make it humorous, fun, and enjoyable to watch.
As for organizing information, I'm not very good at it lol I kind of just remember random stuff. But there are going to be myths that are more famous and spoken about such as the Aztec five suns myth or greek heroes like achilles and Hercules, etc etc. And then there are going to be myths that are more obscure myths, like those that entail the creation of a certain plant or animal or such. If you're going to write a story, I recommend making a google docs or just memorizing which of the bigger myths you want to have play a bigger impact on the gods' personalities + their relationships with one another, and which ones will just be cool "oh yeah I did that once" memories for them.
Again im kind of unorganized lol, so this is the best advice I have, sorry. Thanks for the ask!

@i-love-your-father @lesteropoulos idk I just thought to tag you guys

Apollo's lamentation in Ovid's Metamorphoses (Hewitt/Hall trans.)

He's looking at you make the worst decisions ever. He's amused AND traumatized.
Sibling relationship in the way that only they can hate on each other frr
(Quetz also can but he's given the privilege)
heya its been a while
anyway
tez and vishnu would insult the hell out of each other but only they are allowed to do that. if anyone else insults one of them the other will remove them from this life send post
HEYYYY
Oh YES definitely only they can call each other names and stuff. I like to imagine the entire Devlok and the Aztec pantheon tryna stop Tez from breaking Mictlan loose when Shishupal was insulting his Krishna avatar in Mahabharat LOL
Likewise Vishnu almost flipped out when someone was unreasonably hating on Tez, who btw was already going through a self esteem crisis so he didn't flip out cuz bbg was too tired for all that :(
But then Quetz and Shesh stopped Vishnu from doing anything and then Vishnu went and became Tez's therapist idk ☠️
Huitzilopochtli: I’m never donating blood ever again.
Huitzilopochtli: The second you walk through the door, it’s just one invasive question after another!
Huitzilopochtli: ‘Where did you get it?’ 'Why is it in a bucket?’ I mean, do you want it or not?
(@godsofhumanity sorry for the tag but the huitzilopochtli vampire allegations started with you so I thought you might like this one :D)
