Moon bug? Moontis?
I feel that this summarizes their dynamic quite nicely

You know what I really love about this dynamic?
While Marc may have been jealous over Steven falling in love with Layla at first, I really like how between punching him and helping him in the tomb in Ep4, Marc has come to accept that Steven’s in love with Layla. (Remember the angry “I’ll throw us off a cliff!!” and the resigned “So, you kissed her.”? It’s kinda telling how much thinking Marc has been doing while in the passenger seat.) And also, it’s pretty evident that Marc loves his Layla too.
So what we essentially have, is two men (alright, fine, two male identities in the same physical body, but still!) in love with the same woman (and her being in love with both of them too!) and it’s not even a problem! She’s not being painted into a corner where she has to choose, because she doesn’t have to! Layla doesn’t need to choose either Marc or Steven, she can have them both! Similarly, even though Marc loves his wife, he is completely okay with Steven falling in love with Layla.
It also shows, because in the following exchange,
Layla.
Marc.
Oh, baby.
Thank God you're okay. How did you get back?
-and here, Marc just let Steven front with easy access, Marc literally was like ‘hey Steven, I know you want to see her’ and Steven was probably like, ‘of course, lemme out!’-
Wow, you look amazing. What are you wearing? Hey, I'm really jazzed about showing you these new skillsets we have.
All right, show me what you got.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I really hope Marc, Steven, and Layla return sometime in the future, because you can’t just setup Layla becoming the Scarlet Scarab and then not have her do anything later. Also? How cool would it be - knowing that Moon Knight and Scarlet Scarab can now fly, with their cape and wings, respectively - if we got a scene where they’re both flying together 🥺
can I say I love @rainy-nomad‘s Sun and Moon bug ahsgfhjsadf
Oh I LOVE Beth being a bug girl. It's one of my absolute favorite things about her. But the clear implications of roaches and black people is one that's not so easy to overlook, for me anyway. And like you I know how exhausting being offended by everything that's meant to be offensive is froM a race perspective so I usually ignore most things as best I can. For instance, the maggot thing never bothered me at all. But the roaches? Woof, I physically cringed when it was mentioned.
Interesting because for me it was the maggots I couldn't stand lmao. But yeah!
Do you want to lighten the mood?
@bluevalleybreakingnews DELIGHTED me with a pet name Rick could give to Beth - Moon Bug - because she's Dr. Mid-Nite (the moon is her symbol) and she's smol and she likes bugs and 🥺 sure I'm not crying at all wdym?
My live reaction:
Moon bug being :]

I'm they/them nonbinary but all I've ever wanted was to be called pretty boy. I feel like I'd experience gender euphoria like no other and ascend into the sky
