Xipe Totec - Tumblr Posts

The four Tezcatlipocas have an insane family dynamic just think about it:

-Huitzilopochtli is the serious kingly leader that tries just a smidge too hard to be funny

-Quetzalcoatl is the nice one that can probably turn on a dime if you piss him off bad enough

-Tezcatlipoca is the one who commits destruction of property for shits and giggles and he gets away with it all the time, because why wouldn't he he's a god

-Xipe Totec is the usually gentle tactical one that's also on the last strand of his sanity trying to keep his family intact (I feel bad for him if he thinks they'll ever be normal)

-And then there's Coyolxauhqui, Huitzilopochtli's sister that isn't part of the four Tezcatlipocas and whom we never talk about like ever.

Aztec Gods Incorrect Quotes 7

Xipe Totec, curiously: If we put Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca in a room, who do you think will come out crying first?

Huitzilopochtli, deadpan: The room.

This becomes more fitting/disturbing when you consider that the Aztecs made blood sacrifices to the gods.

That being said, many of the Aztec gods would have knowledge on what blood/different organs in the body would taste like, and dare I say, some would enjoy it.

Tezcatlipoca definitely does. That guy's a psychopath.

Tezcatlipoca: *licks a knife* Xipe Totec: what's wrong with you?? Tezcatlipoca: Oh, like you never lick a knife after you're done using it Xipe Totec: not during surgery!!

Aztec Gods Incorrect Quotes 9

Xipe Totec: WHY DO YOU HAVE AN AXE UNDER YOUR BED???

Tezcatlipoca: Because it's safer than having a shotgun.

Xipe Totec: WHAT????????????

Tez:

OOPS! I did it again-

I caused the end of the world, killed the humans you made~♪

Oh baby baby ♪

Hit me baby one more time!

Quetz: *bonks with stone club*

Tez: OH CMON YOU KNOW I DIDNT MEAN IT LITERALLY OWWW WTF

>@mythos-soup

Quetz: No one touches my humans.

Xipe Totec: Why do you talk about humans like possessions?

Huitzilopochtli: He created them, so they technically are...

Xipe Totec, deadpan: One more offense of property destruction on Tez's file, then.

I don't know if this has been asked yet, but what would be Xipe-Totec's favorite ice cream?

I did actually send an ask to my friend @mythos-soup about the topic, and his favorite ice cream is mango! :) 🥭🍦

Tezcatlipoca is asexual

Quetzalcoatl is bisexual

Huitzilopochtli is aromantic

Xipe Totec does not care

Idc if you disagree I will live by these hcs.

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)

Hello idk if someone asked you this before but what singers/bands do you think the 4 tezcatlipoca listen too? (As well any other Aztec gods you want to list as well)

I thought about Tezcatlipoca liking aurelio voltaire but it could be because I see him maybe liking the gothic aesthetic since he’s associated with the night and things dark ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (also I think there was a myth saying him and quetz inventing music for the world so there’s that too)

Okay so I love love love this ask because JKDDFVVKJZDDHG RAMBLING TIME

So Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl did invent music. That’s why I sometimes hc that they’ll go to Broadway musicals or shows together, and sometimes they surprisingly both listen to classical music (specifically piano) because it tends to remind them about the quote unquote “earlier” forms of music (without lyrics). Now, I do think Tezcatlipoca occasionally listens to popular artists at the moment, but generally yea he listens to gothic aesthetic music (and electronic, because I can see him listening to it a lot somehow).

Huitzilopochtli also likes electronic music. It fits his fast paced vibe and the energy of...yk being the sun. He also tends to listen to songs without lyrics, but in that group he primarily listens to electronic or some other type of fast-paced music. He also gets dragged to Broadway musicals by his brothers, and while he doesn’t admit it he thinks it’s kind of cool.

Xipe Totec’s playlist would be more mellow, with more classical artists and occasionally just vibe music, yk? But his music tastes are the hardest to pin down for me because while he’s portrayed as benevolent and I like to think of him as this patient, quiet guy, he can also be ruthless, angry, and all the generally negative things that embody his being. So maybe he listens to more hardcore music. The sudden change from gentle music to rock or whatever the hell that guy likes will be pretty jarring but you get used to it (read: Tez has now withdrawn from stealing his AirPods because he has no fucking idea what song’s going to be playing in there).

Anyway I’m sorry this was kind of long and I didn’t name too many actual bands or singers/artists, but I kind of read this as their general music tastes if that’s ok lol 😅 plus idk that many artists in their range of music taste sooo

But seriously, whoever you are thank you so much for this ask, it made my day! 😄😄

I absolutely LOVE how all the other spring deities are peaceful and tranquil and then Xipe totec looks disbelieving as fuck because “I need to SKIN myself every spring and you fuckers just need to make flowers appear or something??”

mythologies: spring deities

I also head canon Xipe Totec as the true wild card of the four tezcatlipocas, because yes Tezcatlipoca is a ball of chaos but his brand of troublemaking is like...chaos within order. He brings strife for change. Meanwhile Xipe Totec embodies spring and like most seasons spring has the capability to be very diverse and unpredictable, so some of that carries onto him. Like, you cannot TELL what this man is going to do next. He's mostly nice but at the same time this guy skins himself every year, so you can't expect him to be that gentle (and he's probably in a bad mood around spring because yeah skinning yourself goes hard).

Also yes. Tezcatlipoca rage quits. Every time he loses at anything Quetz needs to physically hold him back from destroying humanity again.

heyyyy its been a while but I have some more aztec mythology head canons regarding the four tezcatlipocas

Ooo okie letsa see

(Yes ik theres more than four but thats bc of the like depends who you ask thing)

Tezcatlipoca: the kind of guy that gets upset if you dont pick up the phone or show up like 2 seconds late for something while never answering the telephone and always showing up late, is thinking miku miku ooeeoo, waluigi on mario kart, rage quit playing knots and crosses with a computer;

Mictlantecuhtli: listens to classical music like its heavy metal and calmly listens to metal like ots classical music, idk why but i think he watches novelas, cinnamon roll, "cant rn, having a tea party with gertrude, shes telling me about her grandkids and how excited she is to see them in dia de los muertos", yoshi in mariokart, the embodiment of that "literally name one thing better than a dog" post if yk what im talking abt;

Quetzacoatl: if he got the golden ticket he would have robbed all of the chocolate in the factory and helped the oompa loompas to make a workers union, toad in mariokart, likes to laugh at conspiracy theories;

Xipe-totec: same vein as mictlantecuhtli with music stuff, great at cooking, baby peach in mariokart, victim of deez nutz jokes;

Huitzilopochtli: do not allow him on the kitchen my man cannot cook for the life of him, "be the reason why the music stops in a videogame", luigi in mariokart, is in the sun deities groupchat and only ever replies with "k." when someone tells him its his turn to be the sun;

We got

Quetzalcoatl x Shesh

Tezcatlipoca x Vishnu /plat

Now I suggest you...

Xipe Totec x Vasant /plat

SPRING BOIS SPRING BOIS SPRING BOIS

(their dynamic would be very interesting)

Four tezcatlipocas likes blood ketchup

Anddd Quetzalcoatl likes chocolate

His brother are fighting

Blood ketchup like mixing blood with tomatoes? Actually, yeah, kinda. I hc that the four gods (except for quetzalcoatl) need blood offerings to survive (kinda like vampires, but also a little different because they specifically need blood that was made as an offering), but they're pretty grossed out at the concept of just straight up drinking blood over the years. Hence why they try to make it into something that's actually edible.

Also yeah, Quetzalcoatl is very against human sacrifice, the snake boi just wants his chocolate

They fight about it sometimes

Hello I just wanted to know if you have any head canons of what shows the 4 Tezcatlipocas would watch :3

Hi, thanks for the ask! I think they would watch:

Animated movies so they can point out historical inaccuracies. They already do this with a couple of friends, but with their family, I think they actually like to watch the movies for the plot and action (not that they would tell anyone haha)

Murder mystery shows! They have a little game where they see who can figure out the murderer the fastest, and then the next person would try to beat that time (all of them are aiming to figure out the murderer's identity before the protagonist does)

Reality TV shows. Tezcatlipoca drags them to watch these.

Anyways, that's all I have for now because it's early morning for me, but I will be back with more (let me know if you would like to be tagged in the other hcs I will post eventually!)

Vasant x Xipe Totec hcs?? :DD

so sorry for not answering this earlier BUT

Very different dynamics, so they compliment each other well. Vasant is the flower boi we all know and love, and Xipe Totec is a witty and brutal force of nature (he DOES rip his skin off every spring...)

Vasant would be horrified when Xipe Totec tells him the needs to flay himself to bring about spring but Xipe Totec is like, "Well, you know, what works works."

They would both kill for each other.

They both have very similar tastes in music and movies!!

Once again, our favorite buddies Tezcatlipoca and Vishnu helped them meet each other.

How the conversation went: Tez: "So, my brother's a lil down recently ever since skinning himself---" Vishnu: "what?" Tez: "Well, he's a spring god, and he---" Vishnu, eyes shining: "Spring god, you say?"

They both love chocolate.

Xipe Totec has made a necklace of vines and gold for Vasant, Vasant has made him a wreath of spring flowers before!!! They're constantly making gifts for each other, and it's become a bit of a competition now.

That's all I have for now! You didn't specify whether it's romantic or platonic so I went with a set of hcs that encompassed both!

I love how Vishnu and Tezcatlipoca have an entire damn business revolving around intertwining the Aztec and Hindu pantheons evermore

Btw sorry for the long wait, this has been sitting in my ask box for like a week 😭

Xipe Totec: They... well, I wouldn't call it inheritance per se. What do you call it when you kill someone and get their stuff?  Quetzalcoatl: Um, murder???  Huitzilopochtli: Adventuring!  Tezcatlipoca: Tuesday.

Quetzalcoatl: I’m gonna die alone.  Tezcatlipoca: Quetzalcoatl, you’re not gonna die alone.  Quetzalcoatl: Xipe Totec, was my safety net, okay? They have better things to do and now I have to get a snake.  Huitzilopochtli: Uh-huh. Why is that?  Quetzalcoatl: If I’m gonna be an old lonely person, I’m gonna need a thing, you know? A hook. Like that guy in the subway who eats his own face.  Quetzalcoatl: So I figured I’ll be “Crazy Man With A Snake”, you know? Crazy snake man.  Quetzalcoatl: Then I’ll get more snakes, call them my babies. Kids won’t walk past my place, they will run! RUN AWAY FROM CRAZY SNAKE MAN!

Quetzalcoatl: You are now one day closer to eating your next plate of nachos.  Xipe Totec: That's the most hopeful thing I've ever heard.  Huitzilopochtli: But what if I die tomorrow and never eat any nachos?  Tezcatlipoca: Then tomorrow is nacho lucky day.
