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

Baldness is for nerds this is a battle to the death. If you have the same character/pfp on both platforms you have to decide which is the superior.

You have to explain your reasoning in the reblogs too

Hey hey jeu hey heu heu hey

Mictlantecuhtli headcanons pretty please

Miso i mean me so i mean leto i mean mythos soup

Alright more hcs for my fav death god

Has a podcast about how things are in Mictlan. Sometimes he talks about current events that result in a high death toll, sometimes he gives virtual tours of the nine layers of Mictlan, sometimes he invites the other gods to make a cameo and hangs out with them!

One of the chillest gods out there. As long as you don't pull any of the "cheating death" shit or flat out insult/try to hurt him or his loved ones, you're fine.

However, if you do end up committing the transgressions above, he will End You™ (especially if you threaten his loved ones and friends)

He loves making puns, like Quetzalcoatl! Unlike Quetzalcoatl, he's actually good at making them (sorry Quetz, that's just how things are around here)

Before each soul passes on, Mictlantecuhtli has a quick chat with them (think alongside the lines of "hey pal, how'd you die? Cool, cool, alright I'm going to let you have a good afterlife now but you have to stay out of trouble with the gods alright? Fantastic, you're good to go, see you on the other side!")

It's kind of weird for most souls but Mictlantecuhtli is genuinely just a nice guy.

Kind of stuns everyone how much he breaks the death god stereotypes, and he loves it. He has a t-shirt that says "I single handedly saved my fellow employees' reputation and all I got was this lousy T-shirt".

Good artist. He's got time to kill sometimes, and he likes to sketch.

That's it for now, but I'll come up with more later!

(Also @si-chan1 I know you asked to be tagged in hcs, so sorry I didn't do it for older hc posts I didn't see your request 😭 anyway here)

Yk Enyo?

yes, I know a little abt her :)

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!
