A/N: This took too long to write and it had to be split into two parts... Part 1 is just some family feels and then Part 2 will welcome the babies.
A Sea of Stars:
Part I - Stars Within
Part II - Stars Abound
Okoye shifted against Attuma, trying to gain a bit more comfort in the hammock strung across their patio. At nearly 34 weeks pregnant, no position was truly comfortable for long, but she didnât want to move. Post-nap cuddling had become an essential part of their routine at some indeterminate point during her pregnancy, and she wouldnât get up unless absolutely necessary. Attuma lay behind her, the big spoon to her little, sheltering her in his broad frame. He had one strong arm slung across her waist, hand resting low on her protruding belly, the other bent at the elbow, acting as a pillow for her head.
She sighed deeply, cozy and content in the evening breeze, and pressed her head back into his chest. Her hand came to rest on her upper left side, pushing gently on the small foot that had taken its daily residence between her ribs.
âMolo, mncinane. [Hello, little one.].â she whispered, rubbing small circles over her ribcage. Her other children moved within her, a swift kick causing her to grimace and groan quietly.
âAre you well, in yakunaj?â Attuma asked, sitting up slightly.
âMhm. Just one of your stars giving their daily hello,â Okoye replied, placing her hand atop his. She interlocked their fingers and squeezed gently to reassure him.
Attuma worried more than a mother duck as her time came closer. It was sweet, if a little stifling. But she wasnât going to complain. Carrying three children was no simple feat, but Attumaâs steadfast love and attentive care made even the hardest days feel light.
He moved their hands back up to her side, murmuring his own greeting. A reciprocal push against his palm and the flutter of movement across her abdomen made her laugh as their children responded enthusiastically to the sound of their fatherâs rumbling timber. She could feel Attumaâs proud smile, and her heart swelled with affection for the Talokanil general. Okoye could easily admit to loving these little moments most of all. Bast knew there werenât enough words to properly articulate how deep her love ran, but she tried to express it anyway.
She pressed a kiss to the cerulean forearm beneath her head. âI love you,â she whispered against his warm skin.
Attuma pressed a long kiss to the top of her head, returning the sentiment in the same hushed whisper. He slid their entwined hands across her bump, rubbing wide circles, and began humming a quiet lullaby. The tune was familiar by now, taught to him by his mother, and he used it to soothe the excited flutters of their little stars. His dulcet notes, combined with the gentle sway of their hammock, nearly lulled her into another nap. They lay in their little bubble of peace, basking in the warmth of the setting sun, until her kimoyo beads chimed, alerting her to the hour.
Okoye untwined her and Attumaâs fingers, pressing a bead to turn off the quiet alarm. Attuma wrapped both arms around her, cradling her gently as he sat them up. He pulled her onto his lap and swung his legs to the ground in one fluid motion that made her more than a bit jealous of his grace. At this stage in her pregnancy, she had all the finesse of a baby hippo.
âWould you like to go for another walk before dinner, in Kâiinoâ?â Attuma asked, shifting her forward to massage the ever-present ache in her lower back.
Okoye bit back a moan, bracing her hands on her knees as his thumbs began working firm circles on the strained muscles. There truly were not enough words to express her gratitude to every deity for this man. Leaning back into the massage, Okoye made a disaffected noise at the question. She was not interested in going on another walk before dinner. They would, of course, but she was decidedly unenthused at the prospect.
Beautiful as this pregnancy had been, she could say with firm resolution that she was done. It was time for her children to make their way into the world. Sooner rather than later, if she was being honest. Still, Okoye had reservations about medically inducing, so her doctor gave them a list of things that would hopefully encourage her body to begin the process naturally.
They tried everything. Massages, sex, acupressure, exercise, more sex, different foods and teas, and even nipple stimulation, which, invariably, led to more sex. She wasnât complaining, of course. Attuma certainly wasnât inconvenienced by their efforts. But Okoye was tired. She needed these babies out.
Everything and everyone was ready for the trioâs arrival.
The nursery was complete, an easy mix of Wakandan and Talokanil cultures with enough clothes and gifts Okoye was sure her children wouldnât actually be able to use. The go-bag Ayo bought for them had been by the front door for the last three weeks, packed with color-coordinated outfits sewn by, Yoltzin, Attumaâs mother, and the matching blankets her mother had woven and embroidered. Nakia and Toussaint had returned to Wakanda last month, and Shuri had designed and built a hi-tech birthing chamber at the palace, retrofitted with every gadget and monitor she could pack in. The princess had also created an entire AI protocol to alert everyone in their family when her time came, Attumaâs family included. Not that it was necessary. Namora and Yoltzin called nightly, determined not to miss a single moment of her pregnancy.
They were all waiting on the babies. And Okoye was doing everything in her power to get them out - which included going on two or three short walks every day, per Dr. Langeniâs orders.
âJust along the riverbank, yeah?â Okoye said, groaning loudly when he hit a particularly sore knot, her eyes fluttering shut. âIâm not interested in receiving more parenting advice today.â The aunties at the marketplace were always ready with a litany of things she should and should not be doing, stopping her every few meters to offer unsolicited advice. Okoye blinked and swung her legs out, catching sight of her swollen ankles. She sighed, âAnd I donât want to wear shoes.â
Attuma huffed a laugh and effortlessly shifted her into a bridal hold, standing so he could set her on her feet. âWhatever you desire, in Kâiinoâ.âÂ
He held Okoyeâs waist, allowing her to steady herself against his solid frame. In another life, her pride wouldâve been bruised at the amount of help she required these days. But being with Attuma was different. He never made her feel less than for needing him, and Okoye trusted him to bolster her weak places and shield her vulnerabilities. Even with all the history she and WâKabi shared, things had never come this simply. There was always a fight to be had or a compromise to be negotiated. Her relationship with Attuma had an ease sheâd never experienced before, and even when she didnât need his help, she wanted it.
Here, with him, there was no bruised pride or wounded egos to be had. Only love, deep and abiding.
She tilted her head up to kiss him gently, thanking him, and grabbed his hand, entwining their fingers in the same manner as their souls. âCome on, Indoda Krebe. Letâs see if we can convince your pups to make an appearance today.â
~~~
They returned from their walk to find a delicious aroma filling the house and her mother bustling about in their kitchen, not an uncommon sight these past few months. She had temporarily moved from her home at the Border into an apartment in Birnin Zana, a quick five-minute train ride from Okoyeâs own, and had insisted on coming over at least three times a week to help. Her âhelpâ mostly meant cooking too much food and stuffing the tripletsâ nursery with more toys and clothes than three babies needed, but Okoye appreciated her all the same. Theyâd invited her to stay in the house with them, of course; Okoye had two extra bedrooms aside from her own and the nursery, but her mother insisted that she needed her own space. Okoye suspected it was to hide whatever unnecessary purchases she made in the name of spoiling her yet-unborn grandchildren.Â
âHi, umama,â she called, drying her feet on the mat by her kitchen door. Attuma followed in after her, activating the overhead sonic dryer to avoid getting water on the floors after his dip in the river.Â
âHello, intombi, unyana,â her mother smiled from behind the island.Â
Okoye waddled over, greeting her mother with a kiss on the cheek, resting her head on her shoulder. She inhaled deeply, peering down at the covered pot simmering on the stove. âSmells good; whatâs for dinner?â
Her mother chuckled and kissed her forehead. âOxtails.â
Okoyeâs eyes lit up. âOoh, does it have-â
âCassava? Ewe kunjal [Yes, of course], ntombi,â she replied with a smirk. âI wouldnât dare deprive you of your beloved starch.â
Behind them, Attuma laughed. âThank Chaac for your forethought, Mama. I fear Kâiinoâ wouldnât survive a day without her medicinal potatoes.â
Okoye turned and cut her eyes at him. âKeep it up, and you can sleep on the couch, krebe.â She walked around her mother to the fridge, opening it to grab two water bottles.â I have a body pillow that does everything you can,â she snarked, holding one out to him.
âI doubt that, in yakunaj,â he retorted, snagging her wrist instead of the bottle. Tugging her into his arms, he ducked his head to whisper in her ear. âIn wojel baâax maâ jeâel chup teech jach maâalob bey in polla. [I know it cannot fill you as well as my cock.].â
âYeka!â she hissed through grit teeth, swatting his arm.
He chortled and kissed her wrist, cracking open his water bottle and swapping with her. Okoye rolled her eyes and took the bottle, sipping the cold water slowly. She ambled over to the dinner table, easing down, and asked her mother when the food would be ready.Â
âIf you two can manage to keep your hands off of each other, we can sit for dinner in 10 minutes,â she responded, unimpressed by their antics.Â
Attuma slid next to her mother and wrapped an arm around her. âNdixolele [Forgive me], Mama,â he said, fixing her with his most charming smile, dimples on full display. âIs there anything I can do to help?â
Her mother was no more immune to his charm than Okoye was, and she pinched his dimpled cheek with a grin, instructing him to set the table for six. It seemed they were expecting company, and she had a good idea of who would be in attendance. The timely chime of the doorbell, followed by the sound of shuffling feet in her foyer, confirmed her thoughts.Â
âHello? Is anyone home?â Nakiaâs voice called loudly from the entryway.Â
The quick patter of little feet announced her nephewâs arrival, and Toussaint rushed down the hall before his mother. He skid to a stop at Okoyeâs knees. âUmakazi!â he cried excitedly, throwing his arms around her neck.Â
âOh!â Okoye beamed, wrapping the young boy in her arms as much as possible. âMolo, intsini yam encinci! [Hello, my little laugh!].â Â
Toussaint released her neck and stood between her legs, both hands on her belly. âHello, babies,â he greeted softly. His gap-toothed grin lit up his face, reminding Okoye of a young TâChalla greeting Shuri the same way while the Queen was pregnant.
Nakia sauntered into view, dropping two bags on the sofa out of her sight before coming over to hug her quickly, ignoring the suspicious look Okoye shot her way. She floated into the kitchen, greeting her mother and Attuma in turn, and grabbed plates to help set the table. Toussaint wiggled out of her arms and climbed on the chair next to her, waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce on her beloved. As his mother and uncle rounded the kitchen island, her nephew leaped from the chair.Â
âUncle âTuna!â The boy shouted, all giggles as Attuma caught him deftly in one arm, shifting the basket of injera bread to the other.Â
âHello, chan bĂĄalam [little jaguar],â he greeted warmly, pressing his forehead against Toussaintâs.Â
Attuma set the bread basket on the table and took Toussaint back into the kitchen to greet her mother, who showered him with kisses just as she used to with TâChalla. Her heart twinged at the sound of his young voice calling her âumakhulu!â knowing he would never truly know his grandparents. Okoye blinked back the tears that threatened to overwhelm her. TâChalla had them, and that would be enough.
âSo,â Okoye said, clearing her throat, âhow many bibs did you buy today? Or is it onesies this time?â She smiled at Nakia, who finished laying out their flatware.Â
Nakia stopped short and opened her mouth to deny any such bib purchases but was stopped short by the sound of the doorbell again.Â
âYouâd better still be pregnant, sisi!â Shuriâs voice rang as she glided into the house.Â
âI am still very much pregnant, Shuri,â Okoye replied, rolling her eyes playfully.Â
âGood.â The lanky woman-child slung her arms over Okoyeâs shoulders, resting her chin on her head. âIâm upgrading the filtration and drainage systems of the Amnio tonight, so my nieces need to stay put.â
Attuma set Toussaint down and fixed Shuri with a challenging smirk. âYour nephews will come in Ix Chelâs time. But I would suggest that you cease making updates to your Amnio. In Kâiinoâs time is almost upon us.â
âAuntieâs gonna have the babies soon?â Toussaint asked, staring up at Attuma.Â
âYes, chan bĂĄalam. If not this week, then the next. You will soon have cousins.â
The boy smiled, giddy at the prospect. TâChalla didnât quite understand that the babies wouldnât be able to play for a while, but his excitement was a delight.
Her mother came out of the kitchen, setting the pot of oxtails on the table with a wide smile amid the ongoing chatter. Okoye mirrored her expression as she gazed around the table at her family. They were missing a few members, but this was her family. Her eyes locked with Attumaâs, and he smiled softly at her.Â
Their family.Â
She couldnât wait to welcome their children into it.Â

Uzui getting his hand chopped off and poisoned yet still continues to fight Gyutaro gives me the same energy as Miruko getting thrown into some lab equipment and then her arm twisted off yet still fights High-End Nomus.
I think they would get along very well.

Thinking of @t-allyitup 's kevrolf fanart, I wonder if Rolf were to find out Kevin's crush on him, how would he react. Or if Kevin were to spit it out, I'm guessing it would be lost in translation ("what do you mean you will crush Rolf??? đĄ") and then Kevin has to awkwardly explain with other words
#i imagine rolf would be very flattered (and flustered haha)#he might even get emotional#cause he has his cultural rituals so he takes these things very seriously#and he's already making movies in his mind as if kevin gave him an engagement ring lol#thinking âomg rolf will become married and become a family manâ and he gets completely overwhelmed#meanwhile kevin's going âdude SLOW DOWN i just said i got a crush on you i ain't getting marriedâ#kevrolf

The pressure around getting married sucks
#T#I don't want to do it!#But it's only gonna get worse#Can't wait to be older so I can be considered a lost cause#and people only lament how I never got married behind my back instead of telling me to my face that I need to get married NOW#I'm not even against the idea of marrying a man it's just not a goal of mine#If it's in Allah's plan that's great but it sure as heck ain't in mine

Playing Elnea kingdom as if Knights and Scholars are sort of like nobility, and trying to figure out arranged marriages between them (and also my character) on first gen to get the best talent odds on future generations is a NIGHTMARE
#that's it that's the post#I'm currently playing The Bachelor but make it medieval fantasy#I was originally going to marry him with Katie Keown but turns out u can't marry royals EVEN IF THEY HAVE NO CHANCE TO INHERIT#like I'd have to keep Lavinia alone (easy. everybody does that)#then prevent Dominic from having any more children#and then keep Ronald (Dominic's son) alone forever#FOR THERE TO BE A CHANCE THAT MY FUTURE OFFSPRING INHERITS#I AIN'T GOING THROUGH THAT TROUBLE HELL NO#and also. I ain't allowed to date Katie to begin with so#my character has Akade and Fertas talent factors#and the bachelorettes are:#Lucianna Mosto. a year older. daughter of a scholar and a farmer. only one I know for certain has Akade factor (dad has strength of Akade)#She isn't very pretty nor interesting to me. but factorrr (I'm more interested on Fertas tho so like)#Greta Rodriguez. same age. dad n mom are citizens but they live in old district so. met her naturally. great dna. no idea her factors.#oh right. she's rich. forgot that#Martina Dixon. a year younger. met her naturally. neither rich nor ânobleâ family but I just like her Idk was my first friend#she's pretty but her family is ehhh at best#Jessica Diego. 3 years older. met naturally. again not noble but lives in old town so. dunno her factors. literal goddess and her family too#Marianne Edington. same age. both parents are nobles. she looks sad :(. dunno factors. genetics are pretty ok#ok after reading my own tags I just know I'll end up going for Jessica LMAO#or Martina#that age gap tho#almost ten years in our world damn#elnea kingdom#world neverland

The man could not be more clear. And he is so incredibly kind about it despite the fact it obviously bothers him for the reasons he says and likely others. So sad the people who want to âfree himâ are those keeping him in a box.
Thanks for this! I'd love to see the whole thing, but it's been harder to get full interviews this go round (that's on me, gotta dig, don't have time). That said, I did a quick lurk around twitter and tumblr, and jesusssssssssssss, he said what he said and was pretty clear, even resigned about it, and yet! You either get variations of a) wahh, he's gaslighting us again (which, lmao, nope) or b) well, he didn't deny it, LOLZ, #married. When I tell you he resents his fans, dot dot dot, oof, yeah, it's honestly no wonder
#i think my favorite is the people who 'don't understand' why he's saying this and how it doesn't 'help him'#idk maybe he doesn't want people speculating about his private life? even--ESPECIALLY--the so-called supportive ones?#i have my own UO and it's that a couple of things can be true that people can't/won't get--maybe just maybe larry was realTM a decade ago#and it ain't real now#or maybe it's a hot mess month to month and it causes him quite a bit of pain actually#and what's to deny in that scenario? why does he have to pick a scab to feed these demons? why does he OWE anyone that?#people scream how they want the truth but in reality? no they do not!#because it comes back to the same old same old: how 'supportive' is the larry fanbase if/when one of them comes out and says pointblank:#yeah we were a thing but that was a decade ago and we've moved on#thanks for respecting our privacy in this difficult time 10 years later!#it won't happen because it can't and won't matter to the base#people will STILL scream they're married etc

Um, y'all. I think I'm the main character now or something.
Story time.
So, I'm teaching a class this semester. It's cool. It's great. I love it. Anyway, last week I was walking out with a student, and I was telling her the ways I like to stay grounded in this city, i.e. going to the water as much as I can, finding ways to be on the land. She's also Native and was struggling adjusting to this city. We part ways, and I walk out of the building with a random man who was leaving the same time we were. He opens the door for me, introduces himself briefly, and asks me if I teach here regularly. I tell him I do, just the one class though. He tells me that usually he teaches visual art at a local high school but was guest lecturing on his work in Afro-Futurism and public art for a friend's class. It's pleasant. He's nice. No weird vibes. Felt really normal. He walks me to my car out front. We part ways. Entire exchange lasted maybe 2 minutes.
Well, fast forward to today. He reaches out to me on Instagram. He says that he was thinking about me all week, and he wanted to get to know me better. We go back and forth. He's really sweet, funny, clever, charming, wicked smart, and matches my energy (which is RARE) - he also ain't said a single sexual comment to me. The respect. Also, I ain't gonna lie. He's tall, muscular, and fucking hot. And an artist??? Say less. I wouldn't have been mad about some explicit advances, although my traumatized ass probably would have reacted poorly (involuntarily), so good on him.
I give him my number after he makes a silly little joke that Facebook told him his soulmate is an Aries, and I said that he's in luck because I'm an Aries. Then boom. Dropped the number. (I still got it.)
Tell me why the first thing he texted me was a silly gif of John Cena strutting around then said "this me walking into your life as the luckiest man alive", then asks me on a FULLY PLANNED DATE: a PICNIC AT A LAKE NEAR A BOTANICAL GARDEN because he overheard what I was talking about to my student about last week, AND THEN I learn that he's also Native!!! That's really important to me, and he was telling me all about his family (we're here on his ancestral land, actually). And also he's asking me all about my work, and then straight up broke down how he was feeling about me in such a clear, direct way. He laid out his intentions. He may or may not have said he's gonna marry me, but he was trying to be chill about it đ
đŤŁ
Anyway. This has never happened to me before. I'm like what the literal fuck is going on? Am I too traumatized for this? What is happening???
#but yes currently I'm concerned only for ongoing trauma#he was very clear what he was after#and frankly displayed the most healthy emotional availability I've ever witnessed#so I don't know what to dooooooooooooo#send help#my best friend was none#she told me to shut the fuck up and fall in love#but ya bitch ain't never been in love#been too busy being hella traumatized#so idk fam#I'll keep you updated#because if he had his way we'd be getting married on Thursday#we've been talking for 11 straight hours#he even responds hella fast like I do consistently#what the fuck is going on#it was real cute tho#he said that he liked me how grilled cheese likes tomato soup#and I said that's the supreme sandwich-soup combo so that's love#and he said#DIRECT QUOTE#I wasn't going to say this just yet but I may or may not be experiencing love at first sight that has only intensified in talking to you#SOS#HELP ME#WHAT DO I DO

you got me thinking of Mulan(the twink of a woman) insisting on carrying Mirko(buff fem, to me) bridle style whenever the opportunity arises. You did this to me.
They throw each other around like sacks of potatoes
I think Mirko picks up her girl boyfriend Mulan just bc she can and it's funny
Mulan does it bc she has a point to prove. Her girlfriend may be all dense muscle but her love is stronger than gravity! And she does pushups! Basically, she's stubborn. More stubborn than gravity!
#i think it starts with a casual 'toss her over my shoulder and get the hell outta dodge we ain't winning this fight'#to 'haha lol im totally not flirting but look at this'#they're so silly.#fem jock and guy who can fan dance. to the death#mirko is so free! mulan is a little wild but not free like that but she craves it- even just a taste#god. i wisj I was coherent#its the family disappointment x the family pride and theyre both girl heroes#i know mulans family is proud of her. because she saved the country. but before that? they loved the idea of their daughter#which is cultural and era related but god! in modern times the old fashioned family and i am foaming at the mouth#like I dint think they wanna marry her off but I think they think women shouldn't fight. its fine for other women but not their daughter#and I do think her running offâ becoming a vigilante then heroâ and being publicly fruity would be sooo healing fir her#and i think her grandma would like mirko#mulan x mirko

people will see a character that was created to be a certain way from the very beginning before everything was even set in stone, then actually written that same way even before The Plot happens in the final product, watch their core personality remain constant all throughout a show's lifespan from beginning to end, and even watch it be highlighted as a Good and True thing to be proud of and that is inspiring to others and sorely needed and not something to ever change or belittle in one of the most emotional scenes of a season that doubles as a high point & character defining moment, and instead of thinking Hm Maybe This Character Just Is This Way And We're Being Told That They Should Love Themselves For It The Same Way Everyone Else Does And How They Once Did Too Before Their Insecurity Got The Best Of Them And Told Them They Should Change, they will instead call it repression and not his true self and something to be changed even though it literally just is who he is. and all of this happens in the show where we are repeatedly hit over the head with the "you should stay true to yourself and love yourself no matter what other people think or tell you you should be". where the motto is literally "never change" nd conformity is killing the kids. like. Okay â¤ď¸
#i'm sorry lmao but. if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck and it's done that for four seasons and was described#like that in the st bible and was TOLDDDD ON SCREENNNNNN that the way they are is a good thing and that their insecurities#aren't telling them the truth abt themselves and that they should just be themselves instead#of something or someone they're not......... then yeah i'm sorry but i think it's a fucking duck. LMAO#im allowed one evil post every three months.#mike is the way that he is and he's always been that way and he's always been described that way. his core personality consists.#he conforms when it comes to his romantic life and how that then affects his relationships. he thought he needed to give up#gaming with his friends and instead get a girlfriend bc one day he'll have to marry her and settle down leaving everything#he once had behind. the conformity doesn't lie in his personality it lies in his actions via what he thinks his future holds.#and even then... he fucking dropped that LMAO now it's just the other part of tht bc he went back to his other interests#and he's still the same old mike that he's always been#if it ain't broke.......#like. like and wish for whatever u want but sometimes certain claims are made about the Text tht i believe are just not substantial or#supported by any of the materials we've ever seen. n thts jus wht i think !#im on mobile im not rereading this <3 the mind flayer made me write alla dat im free now im Clean

Honestly I have realized that 99% of my shipping of vashwood comes from trimax. Yea I vibed with it while watching tristamp but trimax is what took my utter heart and soul
It's to the point where I just don't rly enjoy tristamp vashwood that much anymore hfkshfjd like. OK? Those sure are some dudes. Not My dudes tho, sorry.
#speculation nation#i'll still reblog the fanart if it's good. but yea it just ain't what im about anymore.#i feel like the worst vashwood perceptions r found within tristamp only fans anyways#(this post tangentially related to the post i just reblogged)#tristamp only fans see these two and are like 'this is the Angry Buff Dude and the Tiny Pixy Man'#which pretty much erases like everything they stand for? while also supporting racist caricatures.#not all tristamp only fans do this btw but i have definitely seen it much more around there.#meanwhile trimax vashwood is just like. this is an old married couple. theyre so hopelessly Goofy.#the angst is off the CHARTS. the love even more so.#they very genuinely love each other in trimax In Canon and that's what really gets me.#plus theyre pretty similar in height and build. Adult Men!!!! i like this ship for Adult Men!!!!!#idk this also relates to that post i made yesterday about fandom perception of vash being an innocent uwu virgin#despite being 150 or so years old. & they'll also make wolfwood some sex god or whatever#when comparatively hes been an adult for a MUCH shorter time than vash. my dude's still a pretty young adult ok#and you wanna tell me he's got more sex experience than the 150 year old dude????? ok...#lol im just complaining at this point. i have very specific views of my ideal version of this pairing#and a lot of fandom portrayals are starting to bother me bc of it.#so im just writing my own vashwood my own way. rn focusing on vash being a rounded person#yes having some childish aspects. but also some mature aspects. he's a goofy adult. it can exist simultaneously.#looking forward to when wolfwood finally comes in. i hope to do him justice.

bro someone on twitter is shipping themselves with macaque on twitter and using moonstone as their self ship name
#skelleask#Anonymous#like... I saw some of what has been going down on twitter#but i did NOT expect someone to bring it up here#or in my askbox#i ain't talking about it past this i just thought this response would be funny#for some added context this person legitimately says they are married to macaque for real and has been#kinda racist and homophobic/transphobic in the process#edit: for even more context moonstone is my ship name for swk and change jkgldfs#so that is why it is relevant to me
