anon asks: "info dump to us. about something." did you know: there is a legend from ancient aztec based off the mountain and volcano located in the valley of mexico? there was once a beautiful princess called iztaccíhuatl & a hunky warrior from her father's army called popocatépetl. we can call him papi. BASICALLYYYY, they fell deeply in love but could not marry until he returned from war, having been sent away by her father. he promised! that he would marry her after. however, when time passed and itz didn't hear from her beau, she was given the unfortunate but deceiving news that he had succumbed to his wounds on the battlefield. stricken by grief, itz collapsed right then and there, and died from the heartbreak. later, papi returned to the horrific sight of his girl, dead and gone, and decided to take her away to grieve. i like to believe that he took her to an open space, knelt, and succumbed himself to the elements. over time, they became blanketed by snow, rain, and heat, and the gods, like, decided to make their love eternal. itz became a mountain, lying on her side - referred to as "the sleeping woman" for her position. papi became a volcano, raining down on the earthly land in his grieving fury. sooooo romantic!!!!! <3 <3 <3 https://talesfromtheenchantedforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/popocatepetl-carries-his-beloved-iztaccihuatl_illustration-by-jesus-helguera.png #camiyaps
