Joshua and Claire as Itztlacoliuhquih (2015)...xD

In the year 2001 I decided to incorporate the Aztec Mythology into my Masterpiece so-called «The Beta Rays» and the result was awesome. Not only affected my main plot in a positive way. I had to integrate the Aztec mythology into all my whole, entire «JoshBeta1's Compilation»...xD

In the year 2002 I started to compile and make the necessary elements for getting that «The Beta Rays» and the Aztec mythology were compatible. This drawing is based on another drawing that I made in the year 2001, but the original version was destroyed by my own mother in the year 2003 because she was (and perhaps she still is) a fanatic of Christianism, like most of common close-minded Mexicans, and she considers that anime and Aztec stuff are devilish, heretic crap...

If Marvel Comics turned Viking Mythology in a legendarious, worthy matter... why not turning Aztec Mythology in a legendarious, worthy matter? Really, I'm fed up of being disrespected, discriminated and even ignored by the rest of the people due to my heritage and racial phenotype (due to this latter I can't not even get a job, a decent job). It's time to striving for saving what is really worthy and valued for the Mexican mindset and culture. It's humiliating being called "Latino" by the First World in a pejorative way just because Spaniards from the sixteenth century, sons of Romans, Jews, Arabs and a bunch of other races came here to rap our native women before the arrival of English people who "purified" the lands conquered by them killing the native American people or kicking them out their homelands (I must add there still are some indigenous people in Mexico, like me). The fact that blood-mixed Mexicans are wishing for being more white than white people of U.S.A. causes me a lot of shame, as well as the fact that Mexicans still are Catholic or "Christian" to the bone without realizing these ones are the religions and mindsets carried by the conquerors due to Elizabeth the Catholic forced to all the whole, entire country named Spain (that she created after marrying with an important prince) to be Catholic or Christian after kicking out or killing a lot of Spaniard Muslims and without considering and remembering that Catholic Church is full of dark. ashaming secrets that should cause its extinction instead of doing it stronger because they made mandatory that religion in most of countries under penalty of being killed or burned. The common Mexican - specially, the blood-mixed people - is ashamed of its indigenous root and hence the normal, common Mexican projects their self-hating to indigenous people, causing discrimination. Racism brought by the white people also contributes to hating the dark-skinned indigenous, blood-mixed and black people. Spaniards imported a racist still used by some people from India and applied it just for avoiding that indigenous people could get more power. In a hidden, secretive way this racist system still exists but the common, normal Mexican can't realize it yet...xD

I still remember the stories that Mom told me when she still was a "weirdo", before her mindset turned "common and normal" about the indigenous wise people who invited the Spaniard priests to know the native religion and they told them "We already have known the cross, the Christ, the angels, the demons and all that stuffs you want to teach right now. So, we deny to be Catholic because we already have our own mindset and beliefs". Even the Aztec wise men had to use "Magical mushrooms and Magical leaves" in the Spaniard priests for proving it. Obviously, most of Mexicans have forgotten these stories and even they are turning Mexican soap-operas and soccer in a new "religion". Mexicans can't remember we have our own cross (so-called "The Quincunce" by experts in past), we have our own Christ (also known as "Quetzalcoatl", the "king" that became by himself in a god),  we have our own "AllFather" (also known as "Ipalnemohuani", the one for which we live) and our own religion respects female gender, unlike the Catholic Church and its Pope Francis the First who would rather to ordain gays (I'm not against gayhoood) instead of ordaining women. If Asatru is the new version of Viking religion, why not making a new version of our original Mexican religion, which was shared without differences by our 69 native Mexican cultures? I decided to set a basis for getting it through the book I'm writing in this way:

It happens that Ipalmenohuani was quite happy, but it didn't realized about its happiness. Then, Ipalnemohuani decided to be conscious about its happiness. Then, it divided in Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl, "Lord and Lady of the number two". But it wasn't enough. From the chaos, the void or the dimension number zero (where Ipalnemohuani lives yet, waiting for the souls that have gotten to be independient, self-conscious of their happiness and have gotten the perfection, mandatory for returning), the 13th dimension (heaven) - also known as Tamoanchan - appeared. Then Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl, due to they are soul-mates of each other, had sex and therefore the whole, entire creation and 4 sons who rule it: Tezcatlipoca the Black (the most ancient god, who rules the north of the universe, is related with coldness, earth, destiny, winter and time), the Red Tezcatlipoca, a.k.a. "Huehueteotl" (related with fire, the south and a bunch more of things), the white Tezcatlipoca, a.k.a. "Quetzalcoatl" (who is in my own story the divine father of One-Reed Lord Quetzalcoatl, the "king" who turned by himself in a god, related with east and wind) and the Blue Tezcatlipoca, a.k.a. "Tlaloc" (related with water, the west and another stuffs). After lots of events, a soul-mate was attached for every god, with exception of Tezcatlipoca the Black. This poor guy had to "steal" the Tlaloc's first wife, named Tlazolteotl (a.k.a. Tlazohteotl, "goddess of love" because the first name means "goddess of waste"; it happens that Tezcatlipoca is Justice, Law and Order, while his wife and soul-mate is Mercy, Love and Liberty) because due to his job he was forgotten. Time went foward... and Tezcatlipoca was considered something like The Devil (Really, he our own Lucifer, our own Baphomet or "The Christ's Shade" whose job is causing that you realize about you are and who proves your worthiness and value. Tezcatlipoca teachs you bondage games and all about erotica, but he punishes you making that you undergo cancer if you abuse of sex. I had to study a lot of Gnosticism and this is my result) and all the whole, entire Mexican population was afraid of him... Tezcatlipoca has two soul-kids, the Iztlacoliuhquih or "The crooked obsidian knives", who were incarnated by himself in Joshua Beta 1 and Claire Beta 2 (This drawing reveals their souls' true appearance). It also happens that, while Tezcatlipoca lives in the Alpha Star of Cancer, his soul-kids live in the twin Beta Stars of Cancer (Hence, "The Beta Rays"). It happens that the two Itztlacoliuhqui have already attempted "to be independient, perfect and returning to home with their parents" 13 times, but due to the hard exams and situations that their own father gives them, they have failed after having gotten lots of powers and passing from normal humans to genies (another parallel humankind). Normally a soul-kid may attempt until 7 times, but they became in a weird exception. Tezcatlipoca and Tlazolteotl have suffered a lot waiting for their soul-kids' self-development and had to undergo the punishment that Ipalnemohuani gave them (being forgotten by the people that believed in and trusted them). So, in the 3rd dimension, the physical world, Joshua and Claire are striving for being perfect, independient and returning to home with their parents. In this way, all the family shall return to Ipalnemohuani and their existences shan't be mandatory anymore. This is the "Bone", the basis of the basis, the cornerstone and keystone of all my whole, entire plot...xD

I had to make a huge effort for remembering how to repeat this drawing...

It happens that the DeviantArt's users so-called and are fanatics of Aztec stuff and even they have created and developed artwork related with this culture, mythology and related matters. I must add that is a Japanese woman, and I'm quite admired about the fact that she loves Aztec things, stuffs and matters, unlike most of common, close-minded Mexicans around me in the real life (I have met through here a lot of Mexican exceptions, like for instance). It happens that they have challenged - in a kind, polite way - to draw all this I am telling here for proving I'm not lying. Well, the truth is that the original drawing was destroyed by Mom (after a deep searching in my secret, secretive file) in the year 2003 but I could re-make the drawing. I can't use color pencils because they are expensive, and I can't colouring my drawings by computer because this one is very slow and it gets stuck when I attempt to use the G.I.M.P...

These versions of Itztlacoliuhqui are based on The Borgia Codex, as the same as Tezcatlipoca...xD

I hope and expect that you enjoy my artwork. I have been very busy and my hands and my memory are failing again...xD
