Margo Kess - Tumblr Posts

I finally have my words to put together, let's go:

Bloom, Apple White, Miles

• Main character of their franchise

• Group-based focus in their fandom (Winx CLUB, Royals/Rebels, Arachkids)

• Corrupted version of themselves seen in their source material (Dark Bloom, Wonderland-Curse Apple White, Miles-42)

• Their love interest is an important character to the plot (Sky being her savior from Dark Bloom, Daring/Darling Charming 'whos the real love interest for Apple?', Gwen being the reason Miles is stuck in Earth-42).

Stella, Briar Beauty, Lyla

• Feminine focus who's not the love interest

• Sassy and confident

• The 'bestie' role/second-in-command to someone (Bloom's bestie, Apple White's 'Best Friend Forever After', Miguel's assistant)

• Beauty is important to them (Stella is obsessed with fashion, Briar is fashion designer, Lyla uses filters in that one scene)

Flora, C.A. Cupid, Pavitr

• Overlooked by other characters (Stella telling Flora she's useless cause she can't bring Mirta back, C.A. Cupid not having her feelings taken seriously, Pavitr being clueless about the 'just another easy day for spiderman')

• Cheerful with a love interest who's important to their story arc (Helia helps Flora earn her charmix, Dexter Charming helps C.A. Cupid come to her senses about romance, Gyatri having her death be Pavitr's cannon event)

• Being from another world (Flora from Lynphea, C.A. Cupid from Monster High, Pavitr from Earth-50101)

Musa, Melody Piper, Hobie

• Music-focused (Musa is the Fairy of Music, Melody is the Daughter of the Pied Piper, Hobie uses Guitar weapon

• Anti-society/anti-rules, restricted by parental/authority figures (Musa's father denying her trying to follow her dreams as a musician, Melody running an underground rave against school rules, Hobie being an anarchist)

Tecna, Cedar Wood, Margo

• Voice (Tecna being robotic/logical, Cedar only able to tell the truth, Margo's voice being 'not real' as only through a hologram)

• Sacrifice is important to story (Tecna's Enchantix sacrifice, Cedar's happily ever after and sacrificing her talking, Margo not influencing the 'go home' machine and sacrificing the multiverse in favour of a friend)

Aisha, Cerise Hood, Jess

• Betrayal is relevant (ditching the Winx, red riding hood story and being betrayed by her sister, turning against miles/hiding her true intentions)

• An additional power/object compared to their allies (Aisha's morphix, Cerise's wolf heritage, Jess' bike)

Roxy, Raven Queen, Gwen

• Manipulated (Wizards of the Black Circle want Roxy to give up her powers, Evil Queen wants Raven to follow her story, Miguel initially forced Gwen to abandon Miles)

• Follows the 'refusal of the call' trope (Roxy is the last fairy on earth but doesn't want to be, Raven is supposed to be the next evil queen but doesn't want to be, Gwen was forced to lie/betray Miles but doesn't want to)

If I had the brain cells and the capacity to sit down long enough, I'd type out multiple in-depth analysis comparing Across The Spider-verse characters and Ever After High characters.

I'd discuss the parallels between each of them as well as their goals and current character arcs.

There'd be predictions for character growth for Beyond The Spider-verse and what we could have had if Ever After High had continued.

But alas I am but a mortal human being with ADHD and autism. So I cannot find the strength or the willpower to type it out.

So it'll sit in my mind for who knows how long. But at the very least if this inspires somebody else to break out of their shell and type this up please do so. (@ me if you do)

Currently trying to write a Spider-Verse and TMNT crossover. For the TMNT side, it's mostly gonna be a combination of some of my favorite bits and pieces of different iterations sort of mashed together. Probably mostly the 2003 and Rise versions of the universe are the biggest influence.

Spider-Verse side of things? Three of Gwen's group, specifically Hobie, Peni, and Margo, will have gotten sent careening to the TMNT universe after a multiversal quake happened. I'm thinking as a bit of a joke, Hobie somewhat recognizes Mikey, because back on his Earth, there was show called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles.

So far of what I have written, the trio of Spider-People have met Michelangelo after he went looking for a flux in time-space above NYC. Agent Bishop would have investigated it himself if not for being busy, and the turtles being closer.

That Spider-Verse and TMNT cross I spoke about a couple posts ago? Yeah, I got two chapters of it finished. Slowly working on the third chapter.

Please reblog if you vote + You are NOT allowed to participate if you apply racist stereotypes to any of the characters,think Gwen isn't canon trans or erase Hobie's punkness.Denying transfem fans the right to see Gwen as rep despite her coding is overstepping and i'm an irl black punk who also familialy/platonically selfships with Hobie so fuck off if you're one of those weirdos who make him a misogynist or act like him being british means he's not as black as Miles/Margo/etc or any other bullshit.Please respect my wishes and i'll leave you be

Omg Ghostfloweryuri on twitter did the Spiderband as 6teen characters

I wanna get into Flowerbyte so baaad!! Their vibes together are so good!! It’s just hard when I know so little about Margo. Perhaps I should look into some fanfic of them to read? 👀

Flowerbyte is better idgaf

Yeeees yes yes yes to all of this!!! I’m for Gwen being happy but man she doesn’t need a relationship rn 😭

How do you feel about flowerbyte and ghostflower? (Miles x Margo) and (Miles x Gwen)

Tbh it’s hard for me to be invested in anything to do with Margo because she’s just unfortunately another ATSV character that we see so little of.

Therefore, purely off the fact that I know so little about her, I’m not sure if I can say I actively ship Flowerbyte. In the face of Ghostflower however? I root for Flowerbyte all the way 🫡

As I’ve said before, I’m not here to debate or hurt feelings. With that said, as I’ve also stated before, man oh man I do not like Ghostflower :((

We truly do not see enough of Gwen and Miles in my opinion for romance to be established. Friends? Sure! Absolutely! Give me a main character pair of male female friends where no romance happens cause god we don’t have enough media of that! But romance? I wholeheartedly do not buy it, especially on Gwens end. Miles? Sure, he’s a silly teenage boy, I can see him falling easily, but definitely not Gwen.

Thanks so much for the ask though! I super appreciate it and would love to answer more!💕

Can’t believe I never realized this before, can we talk more about this?? Really hoping we get more of Margo in BTSV

Are we ever gonna talk about how ATSV has the most SUBPAR representation of POC girls.

The three young POC girls are all written extremely flatly or poorly.

Margo is all but ignored by the movies. All other teens get full intros. All of them, EXCEPT Margo. Ben Reilly, a joke character, gets more lines than her, despite her being more important to the plot.

Peni is often stereotyped and boiled down to the 'Japanese magical girl' trope - to the point it effects her art style.

Gayatri hardly gets any lines. Her scene and plot line is good but like Margo, she's written to be a footnote in her make counterparts story (Gayatri to Pavitr, and Margo to Miles)

Then the other two POC women are relegated to mother roles.

Like.... There are no fully-fleshed out black women in the entirety of the series. Am I tripping? Am I forgetting someone?

The only POC woman that is completely fleshed out is Rio and that's because she's Miles literal mom.

There isn't a single POC girl that gets reoccurring lines and doesn't tie directly to a boy character.

We've never seen a universe of a POC Spiderwoman. When it comes to Jess and Margo we know basically nothing about their backgrounds.

It bothers be so much. That's why it bothers me when people hate on FlowerByte. Like.. that's what youre mad about? Not the fact that an entire gender of POC people are erased/watered down in both movies??? Really????

🗣️🗣️‼️🔥

There’s only 3 things that’ll make me like btsv

1. Miles not accepting anyone’s apologies

2. Tiana Toomes introduction

3. FlowerByte canon canon canon confirmed

I yearn for the earlier versions of ATSV where she was more utilized as a proper character and got more lines than Ben Reilly

HER PIXELATED AFRO HAIR >>>>>

Even the Funko Pop! 😭

those gwen stans scare me fr; doing all that for a mid/forced ship? insane 😭

No because i do not get why Gwen stans of all people hate Margo😭I mean i KNOW why(misogynoir)but it makes zero sense because Margo wasn't even mean to Gwen when she pulled that leash shit on Miles and makin' her a bitch is crazy because if anything she's TOO nice.Every day i wish biblically accurate angel Gwen(lightskin biracial afrolatina Gwen)was canon so snowbunnies and picks mes wouldn't stan her and then i could be a Gwen kinnie in peace and see more Ghostbyte/Pink Emulator(/sisterly name i gave them).On a lighter note i have some Margo hcs:She's from bronx,a bookworm,has pink as a special interest,is transmasc genderfluid but so femme she dosen't wanna physically transition and uses she/he/they/sparkle/pix/strawb pronouns,she's fat,know as 'the loser girl' at school and her favorite food is loaded chili fries!!

YESS OMG like I was so mad when people would be sitting there making jokes about Gwen killing Margo cause “she was all up on her man” like yo, get a grip, Margo was just being nice and they was havin a lil cute cute moment then Gwen had to come and make it a problem 😭 like biblically accurate gwen would fix so many problems oml but her and margie would be besties <3

I hate Gwen’s stans so much because they literally want gwen to hurt margo for no reason and act like gwen is a better choice for miles with no evidence like just say you hate black love and move enough cause miles and Margo is more interesting to me than romantic Gwen and miles, they just friends besides how you gonna date somebody you hardly know fr? 🤔

but anyway, those hcs are so cute, I personally hc her to be from my state, virginia cause a lotta haitians move here n yeah besides it’s so beautiful hehe ^_^

she games while watching the go home thingy? and I love this one hc I saw of where they was like she makes copies of herself to avoid meetings, it’s priceless! I hc her gender identity to be genderfluid cause yes yes, I honestly really felt so happy when I saw Margo cause of her tooth gap, everybody wanna talk about gwen’s but margo’s is super !!! I love drawing her gap even though it’s been a good minute since I’ve drawn her, but that’s literally my wife y’all !!!! fat Margo makes the world go around because black women do n like yes >:)

She’s a gal that can do both

her with the violet eyes

The neon purple hands of (dimension 42) Aaron Davis’ analog clock signaled to Miles that it was nearing the twelve o’clock hour. He layed freshly showered, in borrowed fleece pajamas that he swore he had a pair of back home. The red leather loveseat/futon in Aaron’s condo was identical to the one his father sold over a year ago and despite the comfortable plushness of the mattress, Miles knew he was getting no shut eye tonight. Given the fact his body was in four different dimensions in a singular day, Miles should’ve been knocked out by now; however he was wide awake. It wasn’t because of the rattling sound of Aaron’s running refrigerator or the fact that his alternate self was in fetal position right beside him. What kept him awake and alert was his mind replaying the past 16 hours on a 4X speed loop. As if…if he stopped thinking about it for one second, he’d forget everything. Miles scoffed when soft snores began to emit from his Earth 42 counterpart, indicating he was now sound asleep. Contrarily, the prowler swore on his late abuelitos grave that he would be posted up all night to make sure Miles didn’t try anything funny. Miles thought it to be likely that his other self trusted him more than he was willing to admit; there was no way he would’ve dozed off if he didn’t. Either way, the jaded teen had nothing to worry about. Miles knew his best shot at finding a collider and getting home was with his and his Uncle's assistance; running away would push him farther from his goal. The young Spiderman decided hours ago that he couldn’t afford to be impulsive at the moment, his father was running on borrowed time. The random pieces of advanced tech in Aaron’s apartment caused his thoughts to drift to the utopia that was Nueva York. Of course the famous Spider Society would be based in such an advanced dimension; with their high speed trams, self-driving cars, opulent glass skyscrapers, AI assistants, avatars…

...Cute avatar girls to be more specific…

Even if he wanted to, Miles couldn’t stop his train of thought from heading in that direction. Getting acquainted with her was definitely one of the highlights of this tumultuous day. He was in a facility full of spider people- more spider people than he ever could've imagined, but there was something about her. The pleasant, invigorating zing! that tickled his brain when he first registered her being. He never thought a Spider sense could feel so amazing. His attraction to her wasn't subconscious for long because he quickly found her to be witty, intelligent, assured. How could he not give her all his attention? If it were up to Miles, he would've followed her around headquarters for the rest of that day; asking about the function of every machine in the place- just to hear her talk. For a total of five minutes, he didn't give a damn about meeting Miguel O'Hara. Miles wasn't afraid of Miguel in the slightest, but the knowledge that she'd likely face hefty repercussions for aiding his escape made his stomach harden. She didn't have to help him, she barely even knew him and vice versa. And yet under her violet gaze, he felt seen... for the first time in a while.

'I'll never see her again.'

The thought made him miserable, but he had to face the facts. She was dimensions away and was probably regretting her noble act towards him...as well as meeting him in the first place. He couldn't even properly thank her- or at least protect her from Miguel's brutish wrath. His talons ripping through the barrier, fangs bared, red eyes bulging through it’s sockets- Miles thought he was done for, but then he turned and looked at her. She was a wreck and it was obvious to Miles that she had much to lose if she didn’t abide by Miguel’s orders. Brilliantly, she overrode his tampering and Miles was prepared for her to deactivate the machine. But then she met his pleading gaze and fixed him with a look of her own- not the look of pity he’d grown used to seeing on others- no, it was a look if recognition. Her affirming nod. It was a relief that at least someone in that big fancy place understood his actions. The stubborn part of Miles' mind kicked in quickly. Even if they would never cross paths again, Miles was determined to remember her. The way her pixilated hair perfectly mimicked a tight curl pattern, her upturned feline eyes, and not to forget her endearing tooth gap. If he were home, he'd utilize his sketchbook. Draw her to the last detail while she was still fresh in his mind. For now, his memory would have to do. Miles remembered her lilting voice as she teased him, her naturally beguiling aura. He forgot his own name because he was too keen on learning hers. No one ever made him feel the way she did and Miles knew at that moment that it'd be impossible to forget her. In fact it was more likely than not that he would fall into the same old pattern he was in this past year. Fantasizing about a spider girl from a different dimension. Only this time, Miles was sure this girl wouldn't randomly apparate to his house a year later. And maybe that was a blessing in disguise, maybe it's best that she remained a beautiful fantasy. One that could never pose a threat to his emotional well-being. Far a way and untouchable, only appearing in his dreams at night and making her way to the back of his mind during his busy days. He should only be so lucky if- "Gah!" Miles was torn out of his bout of angst when a bony knee dug into the right side of his abdomen. He looked over to his dimensional equivalent who had the audacity to sneer at him in his sleep. The young prowler maneuvered his body to a more comfortable position on his stomach and grumbled as if to say...

'Can you stop thinkin' so damn loud? I'm tryna sleep here.'

The two were complete opposites- that much was clear to him, but Miles wondered if his other self was also prone to getting attached to girls he just met. If only they were on better terms; Miles could talk to him and not have to internalize the anguish of knowing he'll never cross paths with her again. He let out a heavy sigh and attempted to clear his mind of all the uncertainty of what was to come the next day. Instead, he focused on the neon purple hands of the clock. Soon enough, repose began to take over his being and he could've sworn the neon purple looked violet.

God im hoping they’ll be better than that 😕

There’s only 3 things that’ll make me like btsv

1. Miles not accepting anyone’s apologies

2. Tiana Toomes introduction
