Thinking about Coatlicue, Aztec goddess of life, death, rebirth, and the earth

Tonāntzin (our mother)

who was so terrifying that when she was rediscovered under the Templo Mayor, the white elite had to bury her again, not only to hide her terrifying image but also hide her from her indigenous followers who remembered her and loved her went to great lengths to still worship her.

Tēteoh īnnān (mother of the gods)

Mother of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, who became pregnant when she touched a ball of feathers that fell from above and then gave birth to Huitzilopochtli, the God of War and Sacrifice.

Coatlalopeuh, on who's hill the dark Virgen de Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego and, in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztec, told him "Am I not here, I who am your mother?" Our Nuestra Virgen who appeared, not as the new mother of God but as the Woman Clothed with the Sun at the end of world to remind us that, even if the world as we knew it ended, we have will survive and continue

Tonāntzin Coatlicue

Just thinking about Kuina.

Just thinking about how important she is to Zoro and how Zoro carries her dream too.

Just thinking about Kuina living and setting out together with Zoro.

Just thinking about Kuina and Zoro both crucified and Luffy stumbling up on them both.

Just thinking about how their relationship would be and how Kuina would still best Zoro and beat his ass in sword fighting.

Just thinking and missing Kuina </3

RIPPP ive been so busy this week that I forgot all about the verified fan step for the new eras ticket salesss fuckkkkkk

"Oh no, someone's attracted to the aesthetics of my -punk movement but doesn't know the praxis and history behind it like I do--"

OK. Tell them. Make it a teaching moment. Everyone who's in your movement learned the background from somewhere at some point, maybe this is that point for that person. Give them a jumping off point that they can dive into later.

"Oh but I shouldn't be responsible for teaching baby -punks about the history and the how-tos and--"

OK. Then don't tell them. You don't have to be responsible for teaching people with a budding interest in your group the ins and outs and how-tos. That's fair and valid! It can be a lot of work. Someone else will handle it

"But I'm annoyed that they would try to claim to be part of/be interested in my community without knowing all the details that I know after being in it for months/years/decades, they're dumb, they're posers, they're--"

OK. Then don't engage with them, if it's that bad. Maybe someone else will come around and tell them the history, maybe they'll pick it up on their own, maybe they'll just enjoy the fashion elements for awhile.

"But they shouldn't claim to be part of the -punk community if they don't know the--"

I feel like we have a few options here. People can either talk to them, share the history, share the values, share the praxis. Or they can just chase off anyone who even thinks about dipping a toe in their community, and then wonder why it's dying off later down the line.

I dunno, maybe I'm too naive and patient or whatever. But if people are entering your -punk spaces without knowing The Rundown of what you feel they need to know, maybe being nice about it and informing people instead of immediately assuming stupidity and malicious intent could help you make a new friend. Even the loudest voices in a space had to learn from somewhere, and not everyone has the luxury of being in the space as the History was Happening--whether it's an age thing or a not being aware of the space thing. Or maybe I just don't see what the big deal is behind people hating people who like the aesthetic of something and don't know the behind the scenes history about it yet.

Because I believe in the word 'yet.' No one comes into this world knowing everything about everything, and we're all constantly learning new things. I'm not gonna degrade someone and call them a poser for not knowing what I know. Because if it were me, interested in a scene but getting chased out and called a poser? I wouldn't hit the books and study up, I'd go 'that fuckin sucks, those people sucked' and then avoid anyone and anything having to do with it.

So chase people off and call them posers if you want. But if your community starts dwindling, don't be fucking shocked.

I love three houses discourse because I'm pretty sure everyone just picks their route based on which house leader they're the most gay for and then tries to defend their pick by pointing out the other sides's war crimes via twitter memes. Reader, all four of them do substantial quantities of war crimes. So many. We're just here because the woman with Issues and a big fuck-off axe said so, and then we gotta justify everything she did in the name of dismantling the class system. I mean, I'm here for that, but you could also try justifying Charm Man uses poison and perfidy to try to stop racism, A Sad Little Meow Meow gives no quarter instead of doing therapy, or the Thicc Pope tries to bring back her mom via human experimentation, depending on your tastes

My gf

i miss these bozos 

Margo likes to sit on the stoop gazing out into the yard when she’s ready to come in, but then she heard me trying to take a pic of her.

OKOK WHAT IF LEGO IS TRYING TO FOOL US AN PUR WYLDFIRE IN THE SUBTITLES TO FOOL US BECAUSE THEYRE FUNNY GOOFY JOKERS HAHAHAHAHAHA YEAH YEAH I THINK THATA IT YEAH YEAH YEAH

FEM NIGHTMARE DESIGN

i wanted to post both my pre corruption and post design version at once so here you go!

they might be subject to change in the future, but i don't think i wanna go overboard with detail for nightmare's passive form; cause not only would her fancy princess clothing be stolen or ripped and torn ages ago with all the bullying and blood staining it, but also the twins have to change their clothes every once in a while to clean them or at least when they get too small to fit, so the outfits have to be replaceable/easy to mend and sew back hhh xD

also no crowns for this version of mine, but a crescent moon hair clip turned necklace for night, and a sun clip turned belt for dream! her design coming soon (hopefully :'D)

omg I need to see the snafflefang in your artstyle pleeease!

As soon as I saw this ask I knew who I wanted to draw

Dragon #75 - Snafflefang

I saw this guy in HTTYD2 for the first time and immediately became endeared. I like to think he got adopted by a loving family back on Berk <3
