i like ghostflower (hell I draw fanarts for them) but I’ve decided I like the version of them in my head more and will just stay away from the fandom in general cuz I’ve seen some discussion and they just make me go “what on earth are y’all on” 💀💀💀💀

“You can let it go

You can throw a party full of everyone you know

You can start a family who will always show you love

You don’t have to be sorry for leaving and growing up”

Shower thoughts: ok so Sergei was forced to collaborate with KGB… I kinda find it weird that the CIA hasn’t picked up on Margo in those 10 years

Not to pry but are there any more flowerbyte scenarios or storyline you would like to explore in the future?

🤭🤭 You’re not prying at all, you don’t know how massive the grin was that spread across my face when I saw this ask.

Margo and Miles are so near and dear to me; I can’t explain it further than me just really connecting with them.

I just find them so relatable.

Anyway, in terms of actual storylines and scenarios, I’d really like to explore their dynamic in terms of their inner conflicts and how they mentally gauge things.

I wanna explore everything about my headcanon about Margo’s slight derealization, (still don’t know if that’s the correct term) and how exactly she navigates being at the Spider Society and interacting with the Spider-people around her-especially Miles.

I mean we all saw that spark between them and the way they looked at each other, you can’t tell me that Margo’s mind wasn’t shocked out of her body when that happened.

She connected with someone, someone she just met and not in a “oh we’re both spider-teens” kinda way. They connected in an insanely deep way that we didn’t get to see and I can’t imagine how game changing that would be for Margo.(well I can actually, which is why I’m writing about it)

I just think that when they got that ZAP! It kinda delivered a shock to Margo’s own nervous system, beyond the hologram.

This wasn’t Spider-Man and Spiderbyte, it was Margo and Miles.

She actually felt something beyond the virtual reality and the Spider society. She wouldn’t be able to just ignore that. It occupies her brain everytime she sees him, and even when she doesn’t see him.

And with Miles I really wanna get into how it’s kinda implied slightly (very slightly) that wants to go into physics so he can find Gwen and Peter again.

His immediate thought about the Spider Society is getting a watch so he can see these people he relates too more often.

And then he meets Margo.

And he experiences that same Zap! (It was more of a Ziing!) that he felt when saw the Peter from his dimension.

He definitely made that connection. And after feeling betrayed by two people he wanted to see most, I feel like the fact that he just met someone and felt that sense in his head go off…

He’d feel something deeper for Margo.

And let’s not forget her helping him out like we all saw that loaded eye contact.

This was so long I apologize 😭😭😭

TLDR: I wanna take that initial connection they had and sink my hands into it, and expound upon it every way until I get them out of my head.

Why do they look so different. It's like the girls playing them in the first movie grew up so they had to get new actors for them.

Margo and Sergei both scaring the crap out of Aleida just sends me

The way some people are reacting to the Oscar nominations, specifically in regards towards Barbie, and many other things surrounding it holds certain undertones, especially when they then start to go and deny America Ferrera's talent among other things, that are very concerning. Like let's not do that. Especially if you're writing an article for a newspaper (LA Times) that makes digs towards the other films and their nominees, mainly who were women, and say that that proves the point of Barbie. Even though the point of the film was that women have to work harder than men just to get their foot in the door, not about shaming other women, but I digress.

margo. roth. speigleman.

i actually feel really strongly about this, i feel so strongly about this and i FEEL strongly so much and i'm gonna fucking talk about it because it's one am and i'm watching the paper towns movie because this is the kind of shit i do at one am and i am reminded of when i managed to quote john green in every single one of my ap lit papers and i was actually kind of impressed with myself and then one of my classmates got annoyed with me because (in her words) he "made the manic pixie dream girl trope" and then got mad at me when i tried to explain that in reality that is not at all what john green did, functionally. is margo roth speigleman a manic pixie dream girl? sure, if you only read half the novel. the whole point of margo roth speigleman and her relationship with q is to deconstruct the manic pixie dream girl trope. is there or is there not a whole arc in the book dedicated to q realising he was viewing margo as a concept and not a person. is there or is there not a whole page where he understands that he isn't understanding her or seeing her as a whole person. is there or is there not a moment in which he realises that that's bad and what is actually functionally keeping him from getting her and ultimately finding her. she is a teenager who has a lot of hurt in her, and for all his perceived faults john green is REALLY GOOD AT WRITING HURT.

and herein lies the problem, doesn't it? who is going to take the time to read the novel in the context of understanding margo past what they believe her to be? these same people who look at their real friends and see their hurt as surface level entertainment are the people who think that margo roth speigleman is meant to be the hailing crown jewel of the manic pixie dream girl trope, because they think that that is the function of trauma. the read of margo and her stroy, of the novel in general, as something that glorifies the manic pixie dream girl is a read that comes from a person who already glorifies the manic pixie dream girl.

maybe i'm projecting a little. maybe i had a friend who continuously compared me to margo in ways that made me realise he didn't understand the book. maybe when he said don't pull a margo on me as a fun little joke he didn't realise that there was some part of me that wished i was that bold. maybe that's the point. margo represents something, undoubtedly. but she isn't meant to represent the manic pixie dream girl in a way that markets it, rather, she's meant to show how the manic pixie dream girl is underneath the perception of the trope. what it means to be the person who others look to for their lifechanging experiences and use the ways that your hurt informs you to grow without helping or understanding you. using your broken pieces to build themselves up and then letting them break all over again after they get used up.

maybe i'm not making sense, maybe it's just one am.

but at the same time, maybe margo roth speigleman is so completely nuanced that people just want her to be shallow because it means they can get away without examining themselves.

anyway, i should stop consuming john green media in the middle of the night. it always makes me sad and pensive.
