Boom, Aztec Miku. Go fuck yourself. =)

MAN THIS WAS HARDER TO DRAW THAN I THOUGHT. Granted, I haven't rendered in ages and also I'm colorblind as fuck. I probably forgot smth too but I'm too tired to figure out what lmfao. (Update: it was the patterns on her clothes. eh fuck it.)

Tbh I wasn't a Hatsune ethusiast before I started this drawing. But my friends are determined to change that. Welp. Anyways, I'mma go to bed. ffdhfdhfdhfhfghgfhgf

"No more hiding, now I'm shining, like I'm born to be!"

Spaniard: Ah...Mexico and the Mexican people.

Aztec: That is not even close- Anyways, our language spreads all the way down to Nicawaguak

Spaniard: Nicaragua.

Aztec: *sigh*

Aztec: Axolotl is pronounced ak-sho-lot

English speakers: Ax-oh-lot-TL

Aztec: No-

Aztec: This is an ocelotl.

Minecraft: Drop the L at the end and we got a nice Jungle mob.

Aztec: Bruh

Minecraft: Ohhhh and a jungle temple too!

Aztec: ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS-

Aztec: These flowers are called cuetlaxochitl, meaning "the mortal flower"

Some white asshole: I shall claim them as my own discovery and call them poinsettias. They shall be horribly whitewashed from your culture and used as Christmas decorations.

Aztec: What. The. Fuck.

Aztec: We are Meshika. Please write it down in your book.

Anthropologist: LOL no, I'm gonna call you guys Aztec.

Aztec: Why????

Anthropologist: Don't know don't care. Oh and everyone will think you are an extinct civilization with absolutely no trace left of who your people were and we will horribly misrepresent you to be blood thirsty savages that put death curses on the living.

Tada!!! My pfp for the winter season!

Symbolism still holds true, but note that poinsettias are actually called cuetlaxochitl. Some asshole US slave owner named Joel Poinsett claimed discovery of these flowers, named it after himself, and advertised it as Christmas decorations. Cuetlaxochitls are native to Mexico, blooming in the winter, and historically believed to have medicinal properties. It's name means "the mortal flower" for, as all living things do, bloom then wither.
