Interesting really...
I don't want to even imagine the face Kore would make when she finds out that in the creation of the universe the Aztec gods caused not one, not two, but FOUR genocides đ¤Łđ some intentional, some not
First of all, thank you for the ask!
Thereâs going to be a lot of whiplash between how certain deities behave.
I wonât ramble too much but one thing I want to make clear is that I definitely wonât shy away from making the gods assholes, and in some aspects what most people would consider âevilâ.
The mexica gods are pretty much always noted as being veryâŚdual. Duality has always been a focus in the mexica religion, a god can be the god of fertility and the god of death, because life is ultimately a cycle of birth and death. Theyâre not good people because they arenât humans, why would they want to conform to morality when theyâre the personification of nature, of disaster, of life, of destruction, etc etc? Nature and life arenât fair, why would deities be any different?
This can also be applied to many other deities not just the mexica ones specifically. But I do want to highlight that theyâre pretty much all petty asses in one way or another. Itâs one of my major complaints for LO how Persephone and Hades canât ever be flawed, if Persephone kills 10 trillion people itâs not her fault and if Hades mutilates a guy then he had it coming, etc etc. let gods be gods and be immoral, half(or more tbh) of all myths wouldnât exist if gods were tied down to the morality of what now most societies consider good.
Im not sure if I explained myself correctly, I usually have more ease explaining these sort of things in Spanish(but only by a bit), but hopefully it was coherent enough. Anyways Iâm not going to sugarcoat anything, which other than adding more accuracy and more depth for these characters, adds more possibility for comedy lol. Persephone is in for a rideđ
