black women are not obstacles for your ship to overcome.
y'know what I hate the most about the ATSV fandom? They'll give you pages worth of analysis on Miguel, justifying why he did what he did to Miles, but immediately dismiss, disregard, and write off Jess as “mean”, or “a bitch”, “a traitor” or whatever the hell else they say, like she isn't following the same ideals as miguel??? it's canon that she's second in command of the Society, so don't you think she'd be just as deep in this shit as he is? or do y'all not see black women as complex characters? istg, it's easier for y'all to slap a stereotype on them and call it a day. and honestly, the same can be said for how THAT side of the fandom treats margo in contrast to you know who, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms..
Black kids meeting up for street food /ref
Miles,Gwen,Hobie and Margo in that one Pjo-adjacent picrew!!!
An attempt at illustrating Margo's personality/backstory in my head!!!She's got autistic black girl who dosen't fit in with other (normie,non-Spiderperson)kids and has shitty parents and copes by being a chaotic girlypop trauma and swag☝🏽
Finally drew traditional again so I drew the Arachna-Kids and I absolutely love how these came out!
Bi-panic mode!
Took me awhile to finally finish as this was originally something completely different.
margo art :3 love herrr
STOP hating Gwen!
Jeez, we are in the 21st century and you still project misogyny on a minor character who was a product of her environment!
If she was a boy, I bet, everyone would excuse his actions on spot. She was 16 year old brainwashed girl, trained to save the whole world, not only just one person. She was under the influence of Jess and Miguel, who also are superheroes, not normal persons. They were the closest thing she had as family. They taught her that duty comes first.
You blame her for everything, you put her against spiderbite and you claim she's the bad guy here. Where's Miguel's hate?
If you don't like her generally, that's fine, but those whose reasons are that she broke Miles heart and she lied to him, are misogynists. She is her own character and you should see her as that. She isn't surrounded only by Miles'existence. She made mistakes, she realized it, she is on her way to fix everything. She stood up.
And don't go with "Spiderbite helped Miles immediately", because I am gonna crash out.
Margo wasn't at the mercy of Miguel and Jess. She didn't need them. Gwen did. She needed a home, a hideout, because her own father wanted to arrest her or even shoot her. She didn't have anywhere to go. So, of course, Margo would help Miles as fast as she did. She is a good person with nothing holding her back. Gwen has many reasons to think twice before she acts on her own. But she did, and stood up. From the start she told Jess that her gut says that they are wrong, but Jess dismissed her. She was feeling that they were making a mistake and when she fully realized it, she risked it and turned against Miguel.
So, please, before you go hate on Gwen just because she "betrayed" Miles think again what says about you and your critical thought.
And for God's sake, don't compare Gwen with Margo or the other way around. Respect both characters for their own unique traits.
