Obsidian Mace from Mexico City, Mexico dated between 1325 - 1521 on display at the Templo Mayor Museum in Mexico City, Mexico
In the Aztec's view of the world, obsidian was considered a cold and nocturnal material. The deposit sites controlled by the Aztecs were found in the Basin of Mexico, whereby the product arrived at Tenochtitlan through trade as well as through the payment of tribute.
Most pieces found at the Templo Mayor were manufactured with green obsidian from the Sierra de las Navajas, a mountainous fromation located in the current state of Hidalgo; gray obsidian stones from deposit sites located in the current states of Mexico and Pueblo, ar found in lesser proportion as well as the "Meca" obsidian with red streaks, coming from various sources.

Law + mexican s/o
I am a believer that Skypiea was 100% supposed to represent Mexico I mean… the whole history and design of the island screamed Tenochtitlán to me. Also I am Mexican so I gotta represent am I right? 🇲🇽🦅🦅🦅
Masterlist
Pt. 2
If your name is specifically very noticeably Mexican, he’d be very curious and ask the meaning and the proper pronunciation
Obsessed with your accent and loves when it slips out
He would never forget the first time you made him chilaquiles he literally ascended to heaven
Definitely would ask you to cook him your traditional meals, probably fell in love with the cuisine and he can’t live without it now
A sucker for tamales
The day you made pozole, everyone begged you to never leave the crew and keep on making it for them
“You better treat them right Captain” said Penguin as he served his 4 plate of pozole
And don’t get me started on tacos… you are legally obligated to cook tacos at least once a week
Bepo would help you make tortillas and die happy if you let him eat the first one
Law’s mortal enemy is el mazapán, he almost fainted when you made him eat it, he thinks it’s the most disgusting thing on this earth
He finds it kinda amusing how your voice changes when speaking spanish, also would beg for you you teach him because he feels left out and wants to understand what you say
100% would get mad if you start speaking spanish and won’t translate afterwards. What if you’re talking shit and he doesn’t know it? FOMO (even if it’s about him)
The kind of guy to find the fact that you’re bilingual extremely attractive, you’re so smart
Would tease you if you forget words or don’t understand certain slang, but would always translate/explain it to you he doesn’t want to make you feel left out
Loves to swear in spanish, like the most mexican curses
His favorite one is chinga tu madre
One of his favorite activities is cuddling while you whisper sweet nothings in spanish to him
You once told him that even though names can’t be translated, he would probably be called Lorenzo and he hated it and of course you call him that to rile him up because its hilarious
100% bought a book to also teach himself some more spanish and impress you
You once wore a traditional outfit for a banquet and absolutely loved it he couldn’t stop complimenting you and eventually you gifted him a handmade shirt that he treasures
You gifted him some nice boots too and he wears them religiously
He noticed every time November would roll by, you’d buy flowers that’d sit under some pictures, and would also make some decorations with skeletons on them. When you explained what Día de Muertos was and that those were pictures of your loved ones that had passed away, he was so amazed and next November he’d add a picture of Corazón in your altar and bought stuff you were missing to complete it
Eventually the tradition was embraced by the whole crew and everyone would participate putting together a bigger altar on display for everyone
You’d paint everyone as catrines and best believe everyone is exited to be part of it, celebrating your culture and those that are not here is so precious to the crew
Viernes de carne asada at the submarine
There would probably be some cultural differences between you and Law; for example he probably thought you were so damn loud (a lot of ppl had told me we are very loud?) or wouldn’t get your sense of humor at first
Confused on why you keep every damn plastic bag inside another bag
Home remedies scare him, what do you mean you’re putting lemon on your cut? Would accept some sore throat drink tho
Freaked out the first time you did a limpia on him but he’s used to it now, still thinks it’s stupid tho and he’ll roll his eyes and grumble
He. Loves. Vaporub
When you proclaimed it was absolutely magical he laughed, but when then witnessed its power now he always has some on him
When he hears your music blasting in the morning he knows you’re on cleaning duty
He would probably listen to spanish rock and would ask you to translate the lyrics
When you moved in to a shared room with Law, he noticed how a lot of the decorations were so colorful it was comical how contrasting it was from his personal style. You were adding color to his life, literally and metaphorically
Noche de loteria once a month everyone plays and sometimes it gets out of hand, Law is so competitive he is winning no matter what
You asked Law to dress as a charro for your birthday. At first he acted like it was annoying but honestly he liked the all black outfit and ended up loving it
He’d wear it around to fluster you
Would bend whenever you call him “mi vida” or “mi amor” but would get mad if you do it in front of others, that’s for his ears only also hates pda
Honestly he loves everything about you and understands how your culture is a huge part of who you are, so he is eager to learn about and connect with it, but most importantly to allow you to embrace it, after all the heart pirates are your family
Might make this a series with other characters feel free to request

Bone Bells
Maya, Mexico, Early Classic, 200-650 CE
The four bone objects represent a type of musical instrument that has been underrepresented in the literature for ancient Mesoamerica: bells. They fall within the group of musical instruments referred to as idiophones, or instruments that produce sounds from the material of the object itself by striking, shaking, rubbing, or scraping it. Other instruments in this group include gourd and ceramic rattles, bone rasps, and Oliva shell tinklers. The spheroid objects would likely have contained one or more pellets that would have rattled when shaken. The small perforations on the sides of each object suggest that they were strung; the larger opening was likely partly closed by a perishable glue or resin material to prevent the pellets from falling out. Alternatively, one or more clappers may have been suspended inside the hollow bone by a cord passing through the laterally drilled holes. Each of the four bells depicts a different supernatural head. One represents a water scroll, the serpent head of the patron deity of the number thirteen, who is also the Water Lily Serpent, the deity of standing water. Second and third bells depict the sun god and the Jaguar God of the Underworld, respectively. The last bell shows the head of a centipede. It is identified by the skeletal mandible and the prominent pair of long, sharp fangs that tip the upper jaw, as well as the out-curving, bifurcated tail, which is portrayed on top of the head.

my boyfriend and i met a few people in oaxaca city during our stay, and ended up planning our trips and activities with them.
we hid our judaism from them the entire few days of activities — which was hard for me for obvious reasons but also because i keep kosher and had to be annoying about vegetarian options — because the anti-israel sentiment in this city is overwhelming and prominent (graffiti, signs, etc). we finally told two of them that we’re jewish at the end; they seemed so surprised and started asking us questions.
which is to say, we got fucking lucky.
these two guys in particular were so kind and didn’t make us feel weird, started talking about languages and culture and so on.
it was nice. it was a privilege.
for the israelis that we met on the streets of mexico city one night, it wasn’t like that; they felt tense the whole time, and were thrilled to meet other jews and converse openly in hebrew.
welcome to 2024 for jewish people.

Empiezo a correr por unos valles que no sabía estaban abiertos para mí, para explorar, para perderme en libertad. Se esfuman los grilletes del dogma a los que voluntariamente me sujetaba.
