Yknow, I Refer To Somnus As A King In The Two Or Three Posts I Talk About Him, But When I Really Think

Y’know, I refer to Somnus as a king in the two or three posts I talk about him, but when I really think about it, an omega Somnus might be called a queen ‘til modern times. The ancient world was rife with rigid gendered traditions, after all, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they slapped a feminine title on him. Several editions of Cosmogony and textbooks probably have “Founder Queen” written on their pages, and so do the plaques accompanying his monuments. I’d say this changed in the last two centuries of Lucian history.

Anyone who’s perused my blog will know that I have very simple tastes, and that’s pretty gorgeous men and ABO dynamics. 

Now, I know next to nothing about Onmyoji, but I know a little something about the Douji duo, and there’s no way I can just let them be; so, imagine with me an omega!Ibaraki as the de facto Queen of the Demons. 

He and alpha!Shuten aren’t married, but since they’re often seen in each other’s company, and the ancient world can’t imagine an alpha-omega pair that spends that much time together and aren’t also married, everyone just kinda assumes they are. Shuten will protest when he’s asked, esp. when he’s flirting with other pretty things, but no one really believes him. His actions don’t match his words. (Some will whisper words of pity for Ibaraki when the Demon King has his back turned.) Ibaraki himself insists he’s simply his righthand man and best friend, but there’s a fine—and I mean really fine—line between queen and righthand in his case. 

A child between ShuIba is probably raised solely by their mother, while their father is off gallivanting and terrorizing the country of Japan. If he does bother to show his face, Shuten acts more like a friend of the family—happy to play around with them but not too keen on doing the hard stuff. “That’s an omega’s job,” he says, and Ibaraki isn’t going to correct him. If anything, he probably believes that, too, and imagines his unofficial husband has better things to do. (A progressive Ibaraki might chalk it up to Shuten’s declining dignity and increased drunken stupors post-resurrection; he doesn’t know what he’s saying.) 

Mt. Oe is in the de facto queen’s care following Shuten’s return to the living and subsequent neglect of the land. When he’s not chasing down his drunken, lecherous friend, he’s listening to the complaints and worries of the local spirits and resolving pressing matters. Honestly, Shuten probably didn’t have a knack for administrative work to begin with and just ran everything over with his brute strength, leaving Ibaraki to handle things with more finesse; so, it’s not like he hasn’t done this song and dance a thousand times before. He just wishes Shuten were half the king he used to be to make the maintenance worth it.  

When I think of The Dragon Prince in an omegaverse, the human population is 96.4% betas. Other dynamics are more present in Xadian folk; so, when a human presents as an alpha or an omega, people assume there’s elven blood in them. This isn’t necessarily true, obviously, but the Human Kingdoms are ignorant and therefore discriminatory toward non-betas. The discrimination will actually extend to the individual’s family b/c idiots will claim that somewhere in their line, somebody bedded an elf. 

If Callum is an omega, then he’s had to live his life as a beta, and thank goodness betas of any race cannot smell as well as alphas and omegas; so, some cologne here, some oils there, and the scent of a non-beta can be well-hidden. His heats would’ve been harder to sweep under the rug, esp. w/ Viren slithering around, but he doesn’t have to worry about that. Fourteen is two years away from a typical first heat, and as things have progressed, he might not need to hide away, not if Ezran has anything to say about it.

Rayla is an alpha, and I take no criticism. Callum being an omega is just icing on the proverbial cake of their relationship. The problem lies with the Moonshadow elves, particularly Runaan. Ethari is a tolerant man and will eventually come to terms with the couple. Runaan is a mule, and he’ll be the world’s worst in-law ‘til something or other changes his mind. That could be a life-changing field trip w/ Callum, a heartbreaking confrontation w/ Rayla, who knows. 

As a closer, I’ll say Aaravos is an omega. 

Thank you; have a nice day.

If galra!Keith had a face like this

do you think Lance would have an existential crisis over whether or not his attraction makes him a furry?

Kazuha Whump in the Wizarding World

.

.

Kazuha used the Killing Curse on Raiden Ei, the Lady Shogun of Japan's Magical Shogunate. Her discriminatory decree against half-bloods and muggle-born persons lead to Tomo, his lover w/ no magical ancestors, declaring a duel before her throne. The stipulations said that his victory meant the abolishment of the decree, but if the Lady Shogun won, he would accept death by her wand. To no one's surprise, Tomo lost.

As Raiden Ei prepared to cast the Killing Curse, Kazuha struck her w/ one of his own before she could even point her wand at Tomo. Everyone was in shock, esp. himself. He hadn't thought; he only moved and saved Tomo from death. Onlookers screamed in horror and fled the scene, others barked out orders to seize the lovers both, but the only thing that Kazuha cared about was Tomo's look of betrayal. He'd brought shame upon a duel of honor and murdered the Lady Shogun. The Kaedehara wizard was a gifted legilimens, but he didn't need the ability to mindread to understand the severity of his actions. As Shogunate officers closed in on them, Kazuha drug his dearest to the nearest fireplace and narrowly escaped the Magical Shogunate. Outside, Tomo condemned him and severed their relationship.

The consequences that followed this incident were the capture of both men; a trial overseen by the new Lord Shogun, Kamisato Ayato; and the absolution of Tomo on the grounds that the duel was sabotaged by a third party. Kazuha plead and was found guilty, but instead of the traditional punishment of seppuku for such a grievous crime, he was sentenced to eternity in Japan's version of Azkaban.

It was an underground facility guarded by baku, yokai that ate dreams and nightmares alike, but these specific ones were trained to eat only dreams. Thus, prisoners could only experience terrifying, horrifying things when they slept. You were very lucky if you didn't dream at all.

Kazuha was thrown into his cramped cell, stripped down and reclothed in a simple white kimono. You might've mistaken it for a pathetic excuse of a furisode, but this garment was enchanted; its long sleeves forced the wearer to have their arms crossed in front of them and bound them close to the body at all times except mealtimes. (You had to eat fast before they reset.) It was also rather heavy for what it appeared to be. On top of this standard wear, hwvr, Kazuha had a blindfold tied tightly around his head.

His guess was that it was a precaution. He was a known legilimens, one of the most talented of his generation, and it made sense that they wanted to protect the guards from his influence. If you asked him, tho, he'd tell you it was entirely unnecessary. If he escaped, where would he run off to? What sort of life could he live? More importantly, who would be waiting for him?

Oh, that's right: no one.

Electro Archon & Fox Wife

I've seen this type of AU—archon!Tomo and nine-tailed fox!Kazuha—talked about before, and it's not that I have anything new to say; it's just a couple headcanons.

Like, Tomo's electric aura causes Kazuha's hair to become staticky; so, he turns into a big puffball sometimes. It can also linger for a period of time, and sakura blooms will stick all over him, much to Tomo's amusement and his chagrin.

Kazuha does NOT act as the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine. He's too busy being the Electro Archon's keeper, which is a 24/7 job. He's also Tomo's little wife; so, yeah, he's gonna be by his husband's side more than anywhere else.

The Raiden twins, Ei and Makoto, work directly under Kazuha and help him manage Inazuma's governance. Y'can't trust Tomo to do it bc he'll do things at a snail's pace. If it's not that, then he's FORGOTTEN about the Thing™ altogether.

The twins are probably why the Madame of Tenshukaku hasn't collapsed from overworking yet.

He's super on the ball when it comes to festival organization, tho. The faster that gets done, the more time there is to drag Kazuha around to all the different festive activities. That means it's safe to say the Yashiro Commission is very close to their archon.

Since "raiden" belongs to the twins as a surname, I'd rather Tomo's formal title NOT be Raiden Shogun. He might just go by "The Almighty Shogun" bc I can't think of anything cool and doesn't sound too edgy.

He's also called the God of Dreams. His storms over Inazuma are not as violent as the ones he upholds out around the surrounding ocean. The patter of rain and gentle roll of thunder lull the ppl into restful slumber. Nightmares dare not pierce the protective storm of a god to disturb them.

Don't tell Kazuha, but Tomo does, in fact, have an obnoxious collection of cat-related items. No, it's not clutter! No, he's not a hoarder! Please don't throw them away, Kaede-hime!

In equal measure, don't tell TOMO that Kazuha has a series of journals filled w haiku that do nothing but praise the hell outta his husband. The Electro Archon doesn't need a bigger ego than he already has. That, and he might cry.

The mandatory Booba Sword is here, except Tomo wields a claymore made from one of Kazuha’s tails.

He had it commissioned when Tomo returned from the Archon War as one of the seven victors. (He was there, actually; he made sure his handsome himbo stayed alive.)

Ofc, this all happened secretly; so, when Tomo saw his foxy babe short one beautiful tail, he thought somebody assaulted him. After many “calm down’s,” hugs, and kisses, Kazuha managed to explain himself. Kazuha: It’ll grow back, okay? Now, stop worrying! Tomo: Kazu-chaaaan! 😫

In case ya wanted to know, Kazuha still wields a sword and the power of anemo.

Tama the Cat exists and is a recent addition to their home, but Tomo carries her everywhere. He also demands the Shogunate staff address her as Tama-sama. Kazuha refuses, but he buys her hella fancy cat necessities. He will also personally cook her fish.

Tomo and Venti trade alcohol frequently (when Venti’s actually around) and try to out-drink each other. They bicker about how to best ENJOY alcohol, too.

Kazuha just shakes his head right along w Zhongli. He can’t really say much, tho, bc he likes a good drink just as much as they do. He’s simply more delicate w his approach (and doesn’t drink anywhere NEAR as much).

Tomo calls Kazuha every nickname under the sun, ranging from the cutesy Kazu-chan to the more refined Kaede-hime; but there is one name, one moniker, that he's never said in front of him unless it was in a formal setting: The Madame of Tenshukaku.

You'll only ever hear those words in succession if Tomo's whining in your ear after the kitsune gave him a good scolding. It almost sounds like he's referring to a demon or monster. Tomo: Ei, the Madame of Tenshukaku has struck again! Take pity on this poor archon! Ei: Your Excellency, please make haste. The meeting is in five minutes. Tomo: *audible gasp, face of betrayal* The Madame has taken you, too!

Kazuha doesn't really use nicknames. He just addresses Tomo as "Your Excellency" and "Lord Shogun" like everyone else, even if they're alone in private. Occasionally, Tomo can coax him into calling him something like "Tomo-dono," but it's still not casual enough for him. He'd rather his wife drop the honorifics altogether when it's just them. Tomo: You'll call Tama "Tama," but you can't call me Tomo? Kazuha: She's a cat, you're the ELECTRO ARCHON, Your Excellency. Tomo: Yeah, but you're also my WIFE, and I permit you to call me by my name when we're alone!

The reality is that Kazuha prefers the proper forms of address bc it reminds him that Tomo has risen to the highest position someone on their level can reach and earned his seat amongst the Seven. He's just so proud! Tomo still wants to hear his name, tho. Sometimes, he wonders if he'll forget his own name bc no one'll hardly say it these days.
