sorry it takes one Aztec mythology name and you automatically summon me

Aodhvssvcjsnacridisfbwkfhevxmqoegbe i love your blogggg hiiiiiii wbbbbb im sure ur thesis is doing great but still good luck on thattt

And as a bonus heres a random myth dump bc i said so:

There was this girl called Naiá, most of the village's men found her attractive. However she refused all of their advances because she was in love with the moon, every night she would look up at the moon and hope to become a star, since stars were the people that Jaci(the moon godess) brought to stay with her in the sky. One night as Naia went to look at the moon once again she saw its reflection on the lakes water, and believing the godess had come to bathe in the lake she tried reaching out to the reflection, she fell in but couldnt hoist herself back up, drowning. When Jaci was notified by this, she was touched and so transformed Naia into the water lilly (vitória régia), the star of the waters. So yeah, vitoria regia origin myth ftw!!!

Yeah idk i just thunk the myth is neat
