I have this weird scenario for my fic. It's going to be a huge wall of text, like some outline so get ready for a really, really long rant.

Basic prompt:

Because of shenanigans, MCU Khonshu and 616 Khonshu are now link and can't get too far from each other. Imagine Yu-Gi-Oh, with MCU Khonshu as the main host and 616 Khonshu is the spirit who can sometimes swap bodies if the situation requires it.

Important note is that MCU Khonshu is stuck in a body of a human boy and would go by the alias of "Konstantine", or just K for short. He can't exactly tell everyone that his name is Khonshu. The name isn't common in New York and it will get the attention of a certain someone. So I will be referring MCU Khonshu as K.

Quick recap, both Khonshu's also broke out of prison and have to keep everyone from finding out. While tolerating each other because both are stubborn idiots who kind of think the same way.

This leads to more shenanigans with 616 doing his whole condensing speech, only for MCU to do the same thing back.

It reached a point where they realized that it's a stalemate, so they just try to do their own thing, with 616 watching over Marc and Badr in secret and MCU being his own Moon Knight.

MCU Khonshu don't see 616 Marc as HIS Knight, just a different person who serves a different god.

But MCU Khonshu have a bit of a lingering nostalgia, and fondness from the MCU Universe, especially towards Jake as MCU Jake and MCU Khonshu are more on friendly terms. They pretty much bonded in their own, messy way. And while Khonshu is also is more mutual and a bit more open with Steven and Marc, enough they don't outright hate each other anymore. It's more of an understanding.

MCU Khonshu does feel a small about of guilt from abusing and neglecting Arthur Harrow's own mental state, and indirectly starting the Ammit cult. And by extension, MCU Marc Spector.

Which only makes it awkward for the god whenever he meets with 616 Jake, or any of them.

MCU Khonshu is also more human and grounded than 616 Khonshu. He is still a bit of a jerk but he have a more human personality.

And I took this concept and ran with it.

As in, if MCU Khonshu is pissed at his counterpart, he can forcibly swap places with 616 Khonshu. Forcing 616 to a human body while he is now a ghostly figure. And he does it in the worst possible places.

Like standing in the middle of the road, so that as soon as MCU Khonshu does his swap, 616 now in a human body in the middle of ongoing traffic. Like MCU made the swap is so abrupt and fast, 616 Khonshu didn't react fast enough and got hit by a truck really hard.

And all MCU Khonshu does is laugh and mock his counterpart for not paying attention to the road.

616 does try to force himself to take the body, but he found out that he have the physical motions skill of a newborn as MCU refuses to share the muscle memory. So, 616 have to learn how a human body works on his own.

He found out that he keeps losing his balance, his legs hurt since he is first experiencing the effects of gravity on his body, humidity, the temperature affects his skin and comfort, humidity, and remembering to actually breath.

616 Khonshu, also starts to feel very light-headed. And MCU Khonshu had to keep reminding the god to breath in oxygen now that he has actual working lungs. As well as other stuff like eating, to watch where you are going, not triping on his own feet.

He also found out that the mental chemistry of a human body is very different from his god-self. Because there are actual chemicals and stuff, than just a bunch of concepts created by someone else's interpretation. Hormones play a huge effect on the body and is actually affecting how he thinks and reacts to the world.

So in the most literal terms, 616 experiencing humanity firsthand. Not through his past fist/soldiers, but now experiencing it from scratch, truly through a human body not through secondary/third hand accounts.

An Avatar in the most literal and truest terms.

And MCU Khonshu planned it, like eating a huge amount of spicy food before doing a swap, bathing in hot water in a hot spring, falling down the stairs, basically forcing 616 to experience the worst that MCU Khonshu did when he first woke up in a human body.

The experience is so different and unpleasant that 616 decides that being human is not worth it anymore and would try and not take the body as much. Unless really needed like when they are very much in danger.

So, Petbe is the actual God of Vengeance in Egyptian Mythology. It was never Khonshu.

So in my MCU Moon Knight headcannon.

I theorize that Khonshu was able to take Petbe's title as the God of Vengeance. How do you ask? By playing senet and tricking Petbe to give Khonshu his secret name.

By giving his secret name, Petbe is now a subordinate and servant of Khonshu. Khonshu them demands that Petbe hand over the title as God of Vengeance to him. So Khonshu is now the God of the Moon and Vengeance.

This is based on the myth of how Isis tricked Ra to giving his secret name to the Goddess. Therefore Ra is now a subordinate of Isis and must obey her. Isis use it to get Ra to retire and give the throne to her husband Osiris.

Vigilante Shit

A short story of Jake's mind in the final episode and post-credit scene of Moon Knight. Inspired by "Vigilante Shit" by Taylor Swift and my analysis on the characters and the show. 627 words.

Content: Non-graphic violence, mentions of trauma, a bit of self-depreciation

Jake is relieved that the world is safe from Harrow and Ammit for now. He manages to overpower Harrow and his followers in the final fight. He does it to protect the system and Layla. Saving the world is just an additional outcome to him.

As much as Jake loves Marc, Steven and Layla, he prefers to stay anonymous. He knows how horrified they are upon seeing his brutal actions. How could they ever accept him? They probably see him as a monster. They all have done some bad things, but Jake sees himself as the worst of them. Though, he is glad that he is set free by Steven. Without Steven breaking through the wall set by Marc, he may still be stuck here, supressed by Marc for a long time.

Jake is disappointed that Marc does not kill Harrow, but he understands why. Ammit is trapped in Harrow’s body. She is now in a vulnerable state. Khonshu wants Harrow dead because he believes that Ammit will return and bring chaos once more. He is willing to do anything to stop her. Marc is right to point out that the Egyptian god of moon and vengeance has the same mindset as Ammit’s. To Marc, Ammit reminds him of his mother because she always passed unfair judgment to him since that accident. He is done taking her words or anyone’s words that reminds him of her into heart. That is why he disobeys Khonshu.

Jake thinks that Marc and Steven are foolish to give up being Moon Knight. Then again, Marc is manipulated into it, while Steven accidentally gets dragged into this. At least he willingly serves Khonshu and his anonymity helps to secure the powers. He needs the powers to continue protecting the system effectively. Now Marc and Steven are set free, he also needs to preserve their peace – he does not want to drag them into his messy job.

Harrow is sent to a psychiatric hospital in London. Khonshu keeps an eye on him. Marc and Steven think that Harrow will be fine there since he is now in a weakened and apathetic state. They have forgotten that Harrow has many followers around the world, and they will do anything to get him out of there.

Time passes, and sure enough, some of Harrow’s followers have located him and have infiltrated the hospital by dressing up as employees. Khonshu knows that it is bad news and he orders Jake to finish Harrow off.

Jake gladly follows the order. He has been waiting for the chance to enact his revenge on Harrow for what he has done to the system. He still blames himself for not being able to protect Marc and Steven from getting shot twice by Harrow. He feels that he should do better since he is the protector in the system.

Jake drives his limousine to the psychiatric hospital and takes Harrow out of there. Of course, he has to kill two hospital staffs, who are actually Harrow’s followers, because they try to stop him. The other staffs are easier to deal with as he can charm his way through.

Jake does not want to reveal his identity to Harrow until the right moment. The right moment comes when Khonshu, who has dressed for revenge and has stolen Steven’s fashion sense, introduces him to Harrow. He relishes that his piercing eyes reflected on the rear mirror have told Harrow how it ends. His looks have killed off any hope Harrow has of escaping with his life.

Finally, he shoots Harrow twice – getting even at last. Satisfied with his revenge, he drives off, knowing full well that he has accomplished his duty as the protector of the system, and the best one that is.

Khonshu: you know, at first I rejected the idea but you genuinely helped us Steven, your actually smarter than we take credit for.

Steven: ME AM???

Khonshu, Mark, and Jake: …

[aslostaszoro]

Khonshu: Where you at?

Jake,Marc,Steven and Layla: My fucking limit.

[aslostaszoro]

Khonshu had to be nerfed in small, inconvenient ways because of the length of his powers

Yes, being forever young is cool until the other gods people make you sit at the ‘kids table’ for kicks

Or when the sun rises your powers are instantly reduced to not even a quarter of what they were before

And lord forbid having people make constant bird jokes only about you when multiple gods are in fact, birds.

When they were younger Ammit tried to make Khonshu eat bird feed

[aslostaszoro]

I like to imagine for the first hundred or so years after khonshu showed up the gods didn’t realise they could create a specific human form- like never shifting

And so one day here comes khonshu, fully decked out in a human costume and the other gods go into shock

Ammit is stuttering in surprise

Tawaret looks like she god frozen in time

Ra is speechless

And so forth

That was the day the gods realised how stupid they could be sometimes- all while khonshu stood there confused, only having turned into a human to check out the markets
