Shesha - Tumblr Posts


Anantashayana
Form of Vishnu immersed in meditation and lying on the serpent of eternity Ananta, which is located in the Govindaraja temple inside the Chidambaram shrine. This major pilgrimage center of Tamil Nadu is located on the Vellar River, fifty kilometers from Pondicherry. Chidambaram is one of the most sacred places in Shaivism because it is there that Shiva performed the dance of bliss (ananda-tandava) on the body of the dwarf Apasmara (the man without memory). Shiva is therefore worshiped there in the form of Nataraja, the cosmic dancer. The second painting represents an utsavamurti of Vishnu sitting on the serpent Shesha.
The fact that I actually changed Quetz's hair specifically for this one piece 😂 Used to be these two/three feathers in the round feather shape just sprouting from his head but I was like "Nah this boi is going dripped out for his date" So I changed it and I imagine him going
"MY HAIR LOOKS STUPID"
and Tez is like "Your hair always looks stupid! This is just less stupid!"
"...Was that a compliment???"
"Perhaps."
"shitshitshit is shesh going to like me with this hair"
"...I would say your hair is the least of your problems."
"SHIT"
"Holy fuck man, stop freaking out so much, I was kidding!!"

When you're preparing for a date and your brother is making you feel better and worse at the same time:
(little Quetzalcoatl doodle, the guy definitely has anxiety about dating and Tezcatlipoca is like "I'd like to apologize to anyone towards whom I acted like this on a first date, you're an embarrassment to the history of romance.")
THIS IS SO ACCURATE IT'S SCARY WTF
Also Tez Cmon man hype yo bro up
Later that night:
Shesh: *seeing Quetz*
Shesh, in his mind: VISHNU HELP WHY IS HE SO PRETTY WHY IS HE SUCH A HAIR ICON WHAT WH-
Vishnu, telepathically: Dude you're hyperventilating.
Shesh: WELL LOOK AT HIM???
Vishnu: Fax. That man is gorgeous.
...Kinda want to draw a comic on Sheshzalcoatl (Shesh x Quetzalcoatl), is anyone interested?
Sheshzalcoatl Incorrect Quotes
Quetzalcoatl, to Tezcatlipoca: Okay, how do I make him like me?
Tezcatlipoca: Try some casual flirting, it always works.
*Later*
Shesha: Great job! *high fives*
Quetzalcoatl: *Intertwines their fingers* Wanna go out
What do you think Xipe totec and Huitz think of Shesh?
Huitzilopochtli: ...Does this mean we need to deal with another snake? (joking...kinda)
Xipe Totec: Quetz I don't think this guy is from the aztec pantheon btw
(They both approve of the relationship, they just...don't really know how to show it)

Me needs Vishnu x Tez bromantic hcs ft. Quetz and Shesh maybe :3
Probably sent this ask hoping for one or two headcanons, but too bad. You're getting a speech.
-So, they first met while trying to set up Shesh and Quetz. Tez didn't know anything about the Hindu pantheon and vice versa with Vishnu, and they both just heard someone they hang out with a lot (in Tez's case, his brother) say "So I met this cute guy" and Vishnu probably went "Cool, you need any help with that?" And Tez went "Oh fuck no, you can't date to save your life here I'll set you up".
-When they met, each with no knowledge on the other's pantheons, I imagine their conversation to be like this: "My brother is such an idiot." "I'm sure he's not that bad, my friend likes him a lot." "Maybe his flirting won't go to waste if my brother actually UNDERSTANDS that he's being flirted with."
-After they met, they clicked pretty quickly, they started off trying to make their respective friend/brother (in Tez's case) realize the other's clear feelings, but then they started just hanging out.
so here are some hcs on their relationship after then, because I don't want to bore you with backstory
-Vishnu is the "If someone hurts you I'll heal you" type and Tez is the "If someone hurts you I'll kill them" type. They compliment each other well.
-Tez is a master at UNO. He taught Vishnu how to play, and they often just play UNO if there's no other pastime.
-They watch murder mystery TV shows. Tez can determine the murderer in about .5 seconds except he doesn't know why and Vishnu can explain to him in a TED talk exactly why the murderer is the murderer and how to catch him/her.
-They both love Disney movies, surprisingly.
-Like Shesh and Quetz, they also like to point out the historical inaccuracies in shows/movies.
-Tez can metabolize any kind of alcohol, although he rarely drinks. Based on previous hcs, Vishnu often prefers milk (despite being lactose intolerant. That's just lactose intolerant culture). They sometimes go to bars together just because one of them want to try it out gain.
-Tezcatlipoca has like 60 cats. Wild cats, house cats, etc. Vishnu comes over just for his cats.
-Vishnu is overall more successful in getting Shesh to admit his feelings, although the two of them have a little friendly competition over who can get the other to stop being more dense. The current bet is up to 200 dollars.
Anyway, that's all for now, sorry it wasn't neat and kinda rambley but I do have a LOT of thoughts on these characters!
