dating Xochipilli headcanons
summary: pretty self-explanatory.. this is what I think dating the god Xochipilli, the flower prince, would be like as a mortal!
pairings: xochipilli :: aztec god of love, music, art, summer, etc.
a/n: xochipilli is one of my favorite gods everr (hence the namesake), so i really hope i did justice to this bi-con. I refer to xochipilli as "he/him" in this post, but it's probably more accurate to describe xochipilli as "they/them"
" lay with me, i'll lay with you :: we'll do the things that lovers do -
Xochipilli is a morning person, through and through. So, expect him to be kissing you awake at the crack of dawn, the windows open, hot honey tea on the bedside table, and his sticky lipgloss all over your cheeks and lips
In fact, expect to be dragging your groggy self to the kitchen at 7 in the morning to see Xochipilli, full make-up, making breakfast while the album ZABA blasts from whatever device was nearby at the time
His favorite gifts to give are flowers and sweets, and BOY does he give them out often
He always dresses up 110% for date nights, i’m talking HOURS of picking out the perfect top to go with his bottoms, choosing the right shade of lipstick to match his eye makeup, etc. etc. tbh you have to give Xochi at least a 3 day notice in advance before any date nights
Xochipilli is used to getting a lot of attention when he goes out- hello, he is the god of love and beauty- and of course, he’s always super sweet (almost flirty) with people which can get on your nerves sometimes
But he teases you relentlessly when you get jealous:
“Oh, did you see that smile? Aw, don’t pout, my love. It’s just divine diplomacy! You know only you have my heart, right?”
Sweet talker sweet talker sweet talker, you can never argue with him
Yes, expect to be dancing in the kitchen at 3 in the morning. Yes, it’s non-negotiable
Xochipilli is HUGE on PDA (public displays of affection) and he will use every waking moment to hold your hand, kiss your cheek, hug you when you’re trying to get your shopping done
Adding onto this, he is the best cuddler so warm and soft
Also has like a shopping list of pet-names and sweetheart-names for you including but not limited to: blossom, flor amor, my love, amorcito, my muse
Sometimes Xochipilli has to be away for some period of time to be in the divine realm, but he always sends you cute love letters with tons of poetry when he’s gone
side note— Xochi smells SO GOOD like top notes of orchid and vanilla with the distinct accent of something woodsy like sandalwood or copal. plus he’s always applying some sort of perfume or body oil so it’s like mmm all day
Xochipilli is a part of the Ahuiateteo, the gods of excess, so he mmmight be a bit overbearing sometimes— always encouraging you to have just one more sip of wine, another spoonful of ice cream, a few more hours to sleep in
can we point out that he’s the god of hallucinogenic mushrooms so uhhh strap in, we’re getting funky because he would definitely want to go on a trip with you
he is a silly man, so expect some lighthearted but fairly weird pranks (along the lines of butterflies in your face when you’re trying to work, always hiding the second sock, gliTTER UGH)
on the topic of hiding your second sock:
“Sock? What sock? The laundry seems to have a mind of its own, my blossom. It must have fancied a stroll.”
you have your own personal doctor— seeing that Xochipilli’s brother is the god Ixtlilton who lords over health, medicine, and surprisingly dancing.
softly singing you to sleep, always.
Would definitely pop up in your dreams to give you some weird, cryptic advice which is always on the lines of giving him more kisses

Chicome Itzcuintli Amatlapalli (@MiCorazonMexica), Xochipilli and Xochiquetzal.
"This painting is a devotional image of Xochiquetzal and Xochipilli, the Plumed Blossom and the Prince of Flowers. She is the Teotl of love and the feminine arts, he the Teotl of spring, hallucinogenic plants, the Sun in the morning, venereal disease, and the masculine arts.
The whole is an illustration of the concept of duality; the two Teteo are one and the same time brother and sister, husband and wife, and the very same being. In the painting they therefore stand back to back, and yet are joined by a single spinal column, so that the two are revealed as being a single entity; male and female as one.
They stand on the twined tree of Tamoanchan, which stands at the center of existence and represents the eternal revolution of the male and female principles."

Panteón azteca
Los dioses de los aztecas (1345-1521 d.C.) eran numerosos y variopintos y, como en muchas otras culturas antiguas, estaban estrechamente asociados a cosas y acontecimientos importantes para la cultura y el bienestar general de la comunidad. Entre ellos se encuentran los dioses del maíz y la lluvia para nutrirlo, el fuego y el hogar para crearlo, y todo tipo de dioses para representar los principales cuerpos celestes, los accidentes geográficos destacados y los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos, desde el lucero del alba hasta las heladas vespertinas. Muchos de los dioses eran antiguas deidades mesoamericanas veneradas por las culturas anteriores a la azteca, pero fueron adoptados, adaptados y asimilados al conjunto único de dioses y diosas de los aztecas. A continuación figura una lista de las principales deidades aztecas en orden alfabético.
