Headcanons for Aladdin w/ an S/O who's an avatar of Khonshu pls? (I blame the Moon Knight x Arabian Nights tiktok edits lmao)
HELLO FELLOW AFRO-DESI, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU 🫂👑
My younger sister made me binge-watch Moon Knight last week and I gotta say, it's a pretty good show. Also, I am a FULL ON Taweret stan! 🥺🦛
Aladdin dating the Avatar of Khonshu would include...
Pairings: Aladdin x Avatar of Khonshu!Reader
Warnings: Slight angst, but at least there's fluff! I'm still bad at writing headcanons, possibly OOC Khonshu (OH MY GOD DAD!KHONSHU)
A/N: Let's pretend this is set after the film and Aladdin and Jasmine decide to remain friends, okay?
The first time he sees you, it's late at night.
Aladdin can't sleep and goes to grab a cup of water when he hears a commotion outside.
You're running across the rooftops in Agrabah, decked out in the ceremonial suit from Khonshu's temple not psycho Colonel Sanders and Aladdin is MESMERIZED.
So, he makes it a habit of staying up very a little late every night to get a glimpse of you.
Khonshu catches on to this and warns you to be more careful. When you ask him why, Khonshu's only response is: "Someone is watching."
On the seventh night, Aladdin can't seem to find you. He's sad...
...For a few seconds, until Abu freaks out and warns his human of an intruder, pointing to you just chilling on the couch (Aladdin and Abu can't see him... yet, but Khonshu is just standing there looking at you with disappointment)
In time, you two get to know each other and eventually fall in love.
Hell, y'all even learn about each other's cultures.
It takes Khonshu a while, but when he finally reveals himself to Aladdin, this is the street rat's reaction:
"Why are you so scared?" "THAT IS KHONSHU."
Y'all are too cute together
Aladdin calls you "Hayati" (Arabic for "my life"), and you call him "Habibi" (Arabic for "my love")
You stay up with him at night to look at the stars and he can't help but notice how beautiful you are. Khonshu yells at the both of you to go to bed after a few minutes.
MAGIC CARPET RIDE DATES 💓💓💓💓💓
Khonshu is pretty much your overprotective dad, while Genie is your chill father-in-law.
Genie and Khonshu are the grumpy/sunshine in-law duo no one expected... oh and Jasmine and Dalia are Aladdin's wingmen 😜😜
Lian and Omar (Genie and Dalia's kids/Aladdin's younger siblings) are in awe of you and ask so many questions.
"What's it like being an avatar of a scary bird god?"
"Exhausting" you half-joke, to Khonshu's dismay.
If Genie asks about grandbabies, Aladdin will blush.
Pretty sure Taweret would ADORE Aladdin and Abu!
