SYMBRUARY 2024
Tumblr media
Symbruary returns with a full prompt list provided by YOU, the slime appreciation society. This February, draw something, write something, make something, and select symbiotes as your subject.
Apart from Marvel symbiotes, we're also celebrating any creatures from any other media (or your own imagination) so long as they bond to other creatures! Think the Tok'ra, Khaji Da, Eddie but not this one but the one from Guilty Gear...
1: xenobiology | 2: culture | 3: instinct | 4: bonds | 5: unusual pairs | 6: fix-it | 7: underappreciated goo | 8: iridescent | 9: hostless symbiotes | 10: in sickness/in health | 11: symbiote mecha | 12: symbiotify a non-symbiote character | 13: symby learning cold vs. warmth | 14: girls' night | 15: FREE DAY | 16: faith | 17: regret/apology | 18: dragons | 19: free! | 20: crunch | 21: research | 22: hive | 23: symbiotes wearing clothes | 24: symbiote ot3 | 25: learning something new | 26: yearning/longing/pining | 27: anti-venom | 28: cozy | 29: sibling rivalry

@symbruary day 8 - iridescence
I don't really understand iridescence. I need like a guide on how to decide and plan out what angles of lighting v pov v surface get what colour. But I think I pulled at least a reasonable facsimile here.

who keeps putting all these goos in jars?? someone Free Them
last Christmas i made my buddy @bakageta that lil Venom, Carnage, and Sleeper, so for @symbruary 's free day i decided to add on to the happy family! in order that's Toxin, Riot, Phage, Agony, Lasher, and Scream. Riot appears to have had multiple color schemes over the years so i decided to just go with the somewhat metallic look from the movie for the sake of diversity
actual sizes under the cut (they're tiny!)

Carnage re-write P1
So I woke up today with Words in my head and instead of assisting with any of my ongoing fics my brain has decided to re-write Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage ://
So I guess we’re doing that. (Originally a quick outline; cleaning it a bit and posting on Feb 6 for @symbruary's Fix-It day)
Post 1/??
Previous / Next
The movie had pretty effects and a decent soundtrack and some good action, but what it lacked was the heart and comedy of the first film (and the good good deep Venom voice, why is he so squeaky and annoying now??? (T o T) )
I’m not a comedy-writing person, and I’m not gonna be doing an actual fic or screenplay for this, so I’ll be keeping to the heart part. What gives a piece its heart I thnk are its emotional throughlines. Each character and relationship having their own story where they change from how they are at the start to how they are at the end, and having that story be concretely present and observable as the movie/book goes on.
There were hints of that in Venom2 but a lot of them fell flat, didn’t go anywhere, or didn’t have a satisfying change.
For example: both Eddie and Venom are frustrated with their relationship for X reasons. They fight, they separate, they do things on their own, but when they come back together they haven’t resolved any of the reasons that they broke up in the first place. Everything’s just magically better for no reasons and we are supposed to intuit that they are good for eachother and that they have improved as partners but we never really see that happen. Just a forced capitulation on Eddie’s part and the same traumabonding and extreme circumstances that made them work as a team in the first movie.
Another thing that sucked was how they dumped the uniqueness of certain characters and plots and emotional beats from the first movie to retread the same old tropes from everything else. Dan was unique and widely beloved in my parts of the fandom for not being a jealous jerk. He admired Eddie’s journalistic work, he dropped his dinner to do doctor work without complaint, he trusted Anne, and he didn’t fall into the stupid romcom plots even when Anne brought them up. Focused, intelligent, useful, kind, caring. A breath of fresh air. Entirely unlike how he acted in the second movie.
So let’s fix that.
Situation at the start of the movie:
Eddie is depressed, frustrated, and stressed. He is not used to being the self-control in a relationship, and is trying really hard to keep to his morals. He also needs to make enough money to keep them in food and home. He is lonely; he misses Anne and Maria and people in general since a large part of his solution to Venom is isolating them in their apartment so that they don’t eat people and don’t look crazy in public. He is spending all of his time and energy either trying to do work or keeping Venom entertained, controlled, and fed. He also might need some mood-stabilizing meds, he seemed heckin ADHD and/or autistic in the first movie.
Venom is stressed, bored, and starving. It is not used to not being able to do whatever it wants (bar keeping its head down around other symbiotes higher on the pecking order), it is not used to having to cooperated with a host, it doesn’t understand Eddie’s morals, it doesn’t understand Earth, it doesn’t understand money, it doesn’t understand human relationships and society. It needs higher quality food (mammalian, more variety, more human-specific chemicals since it’s bonded with a human), it needs enrichment, it needs to understand more about what its new situation is.
They both need to communicate and understand eachother and learn to find a balance that will get them both what they need. They also need a support system and an income stream.

Can you miss a place you've never been to? A home you've never had?
This took soooooooo long to finish! I'm not that good with backgrounds and I think this is the most complicated one I've ever drawn... Still, I managed to finish it before the end of @symbruary ♥ Hip hip hurray!

Happy @symbruary!!
It's always annoyed me that all symbiotes, including ones that have never even met spider-man, are always drawn with Two Spider-man Style Tapered Eyes And A Mouth. The eye shape, the choice to have two eyes, those are traits of the venom symbiote that came from being a spider-man costume, not from being inherent to all symbiotes! Kind of like how the Venom symbol is based on the spider-man symbol; other symbiotes don't have it.
So here's some symbiote diversity! They are all goop but they can have different textures, shapes, eyes, personalities...

For @symbruary day 12: Symbiotify a non-symbiote character: Agonized Jessie from Team Life Foundation! They would make a great match, actually!
Gotta KILL them all!
