hiii! ok u asked for mk agere hcs and i just finished watching the show recently and haven’t read any of the comics so i’m still a newbie :P but i really like the idea of steven regressing a lot, as part of his role of being the alter who gets to experience a “happy childhood”!! and marc seems really protective of him getting to have that experience, so i think he’d make a surprisingly good cg, talking to him from mirrors etc :] i think layla would be a great babysitter and read steven lots of books about egypt too :D
AAAAA YESYEYS okay so marc definitely seems like a persecutor TURNED protector and especially when steven is regressed oh my god can you imagine how protective he’d be like when he can tell steven’s slipping he does his best to get them home/somewhere safe and familiar and he starts talking to him even sweeter, encouraging every little thing he does and just absolute big brother mode omGGG!!
and YES layla would be really good with them (i think more so steven idk) and would read him stories maybe even make up stories as she goes bc i think she’d be good w that
