Venom / Eddie Brock x injured male reader
This has multiple parts(this is the first part) and it's my first story here. Please alert me of any mistakes.
Tumblr media
Summary: I had this thought about what if our beloved reader got himself in a bit of a pickle and Eddie and Venom were passing by.
Relationship: the reader knows both Eddie and Venom as close friends
Genre: fluff, angst?
Warning: mature language, bloody stuff, mention of drugs and a drug dealer, cannibalism
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
"Awww this sucks..." You sighted out as you held your side that was currently open. Some of your guts were out. You thought about pushing them back into you but they were dirty and it hurts like shit.
Your eyes shited in front of where the source of your injuries stood. Much to your discomfort, they walked closer to you. "For crying out loud you sure did what you told me you'd do. Impressive indeed. If I could I would clap." You said annoyed at the pain you felt from your side. "So this is the part where you're gonna eat me?"
"Indeed." Their heavy accent rumbled in your ears. You cringed a bit at the thought of dying to a person with such a heavy accent. Never thought you'd be dying to this.
You always thought Venom will do the eating part on you one day. Swallowing you whole like a grape. That will never happen, unfortunately. But back to the story.
You found yourself paralyzed as you could barely breathe cus of the blood loss. The person kneeled in front of you and stretched the collar of the shirt you wore, that Eddie gave you, and exposed your collarbone and your neck more.
"Not even gonna cook me first- FUCK!!!!" You yelled into the night as you felt your skin tear and your muscles detach. Blinded by both the pain in your side and the pain of someone quite literally taking a bite out of you made you feel light-headed and you almost completely blacked out. You woke up again because of the complete detachment of your skin. You screamed even more somehow. Why was nobody around?
The person gagged you with something as you struggled against them. You weakly clawed at their hand but your body became too weak to even hold yourself awake let alone fight against that weird cannibal drug dealer. You just wanted a god damn plant to smoke not to be food.
You could hear your skin tearing in the dealer's mouth as he chewed. It made you sick.
You finally stopped struggling as your adrenaline rush stopped and your body slowly gave out. You let out a last few muffled screams before shutting out. When you closed your eyes you heard an inhumane screech and a human scream.
'Venom...Eddie?' Your last thoughts before complete blackness
Tumblr media
You woke up to a very familiar beeping sound of an electronic vital sign monitor next to your head making it ache. You opened your eyes and saw everything blurry. Being the panicking person you are you thought the drug dealer ate your eyes and brought you to their basement to eat you alive. But then again you won't be able to see at all, wouldn't you? You brought a hand to your face and unblur your eyes.
You looked around now seeing everything clearly. You were in a hospital, not in a dirty basement. You sighed in relief and tried to get up. Big mistake. As you did so your side and your left shoulder ached like they were going to kill you for even thinking of moving. You hissed.
"Hey, hey take it easy." You heard a familiar voice to your left. Once turning to it you saw Eddie with an outstretched hand towards you. He looked more tired than usual.
"Wassup man?" Your statement made him freeze a bit, like you weren't in a life and death situation hours ago. Your smile was innocent. It hid the mischief and pain behind it.
"What were you doing in that alleyway M/n?"
"Straight to the point I see, Edds. You know I'm not one of your so called "clients", right?" You looked at the ceiling ashamed to tell him you were going to buy drugs. He was quiet, Venom was probably saying something but you were drowning in guilt. This wasn't the first time the duo saved you. You felt powerless beneath your friends' gaze.
"You could have died-" Eddie said more frustrated than before.
"DO YOU THINK- I haven't noticed that, Edds?" You accidentally shouted the first part but silenced yourself before continuing. "I was literally being eaten alive like a fucking pray!" Your voice was shaking but not enough to make you cry. You were terrified. Who wouldn't? Even tho you seemed calm while the drug dealer with a horrible accent neared you, you never thought they would start to eat you while you were still conscious. That feeling will linger on your skin till the day you'll die.
You sighed sharply and brought your right arm to your face as you realized you have shouted at your only friend. "I'm sorry Eddie... I just-" you swallowed dryly. "I was going to buy some drugs from that person. Never knew they wanted to fucking eat me." You chuckled. You found it all so bizarre yet so real.
Eddie was quiet and when you looked at him he sure didn't look happy. He took a seat next to you. His hands fidget around as his frustration and probably Venom we're getting into his head more and more. You looked away once again. The last thing you wanted to see is your friend struggling...yet this was your doing.
"I- We have so many questions as to why?" He finally said something but you weren't happy about it. You've never told him you're an addict. You're ashamed of it yet you can't stop.
You looked further away from him. "Ask away, buds." When you didn't get an answer you looked at them. Eddie was squirming in his seat. He seemed uncomfortable. "I-..." You swallowed thickly, "I...I started smoking and taking drugs way before we met." You were struggling for words but you knew Eddie won't ask you anything.
He looked at you kinda surprised, it made you chuckle dryly. "Is it really that surprising? I mean look at me." You waved your right hand at yourself. Once you sighed and closed your eyes you let your hand fall. "I'll get it if don't want to be friends with me anymore. Who would want to be friends with an addict, really?"
"We would." This time it wasn't Eddie who spoke. It was the black goo that flote next to Eddie's head. You looked at them with doubt in your eyes as you sheepishly smiled. "I'm no use to you guys."
This time Eddie sighed and grabbed your hand gently to not irritate the eaten chunk on your shoulder. "We can work this out. If you don't want to heal we won't force you but we also don't want to leave you. Know we'll support you." He paused and chuckled a bit. "You know you want it yourself."
"I do." You said honestly and looked into Eddie's eyes. "I want to heal, Edds. I really do." You looked at Venom too as to say I will do it for the both of you rather than yourself.
"Well, first you need to heal from that." Eddie pointed to your shoulder. You were actually very curious if you'll look like the apple logo. "And that." Now Venom pointed to your side. You chuckled. "Will do captains!" You saluted with your free hand, the other was still held by both Venom and Eddie.
To be honest you never saw them this sentimental before. They were always bickering which you found funny at times at the other, concerning but their chemistry works.
"How did you guys find me?"
"You forgot your jacket in our place so we wanted to give it to you." Venom spoke first and laid your jacked on your laying form. Not gonna lie you found it cute.
"Okay, but how did you know where to look for me? And thank you Venom." Now you asked more specifically. Eddie looked away from you. He seemed embarrassed. You tilt your head towards him. "Edds?" He didn't say anything so you turned towards Venom. You know they would say it probably. "V?"
"We've put a tracking device for dogs, we bought, on your pants." To say you were stunned to speak is an understatement. You looked at Eddie for confirmation. He was looking everywhere but you fidgeting in his seat. Your eyes widen when Eddie made brief eye contact with you your mouth slightly agape. "Look, after the incident with the old lady, we had to!"
"YOU SWORE TO NOT EVER BRING IT U- ow ow ow!" You jokingly raised your voice but regretted it as your side started to hurt. You laughed tenderly at the memory. Eddie laughed with you too. "Who's idea was it?" You looked at both of them.
Venom looked at Eddie who double looked at Venom like he couldn't believe his eyes. "Hey don't put all the blame on me! You agreed instantly and insisted on buying it the same day!" They started to bicker over whose idea it was. You smiled at them.
They sure were your best friends. Although you want to save them one day too. It's not fair they always save you. You are no damsel in distress. You'll heal for them and you'll be a better friend too.
You really don't have a healthy mindset kid.

Chips and Chocolate
Pairing: Eddie Brock x gn!reader
Words: 1.432
Warnings: none
Summary: With a little bump, you found your way into Eddie's life, helping him as he needed it the most
Eddie Brock, the man with the symbiont. The man with the racing mind, with the feeling of guilt deep inside of him because of just everything. He had done many wrong things in his life but after the latest fights, Eddie had realized that he had to change. Something. Anything. Himself. No matter what it exactly was he wanted to change - he knew he couldn't live like this forever. Not for himself. And not for you.
You
Eddie had met you as he was at his worst. It was a coincidence. He was shopping for groceries, discussing with Venom why the symbiont couldn't devour the guy with the bright green shirt as you stumbled into him and into his life. Your chips fell to the ground. Right next to the chocolate Eddie had dropped. The two of you grabbed for your things, hitting your heads at the same time. Just to try again, hitting your heads once again. It was slapstick from a comedy show and yet, Eddie knew everything he would play in was a never ending drama.
Finally, you grabbed your chips and Eddie's chocolate to give him back the sweets, "Here, and I'm so sorry for bumping into you. I got distracted by this...too bright green.", you said in a low, conspiratorial voice.
"Nah, it's alright. There's not much space here anyway.", Eddie said, standing in an aisle with enough space for several more people.
You chuckled, looking at him a moment longer than necessary. You thanked Eddie before you left him reluctantly.
"Follow them. They look nice."
"No!", Eddie hissed to silence Venom in his head.
"Why not? I like their smell. They smell delicious and I can feel that you like them, too. If you like them, I promise, I won't eat them."
"Be quiet. You shouldn't eat anyone anyway. I'm not in the mood to meet someone new, okay?", Eddie hissed while checking the backside of some cereal. He still kept you in sight from the corner of his eyes just to look at you a little bit longer. You checked the bread, deciding between grain bread and toast - in the end, the healthy one won.
"But you like them. I can feel that. You stare at them for two minutes straight. Eddie, we're alone for some time. If you won't talk to them, I will."
"No!", Eddie called out a bit too loud as he noticed Venom leaving his body a tiny bit and caught the attention of some older woman who looked suspicious at him, "They changed the ingredients of my favorite cornflakes.", he said meekly as an explanation and smiled but saw that she didn't believe him. She was still suspicious looking and he couldn't blame her. As the lady was gone, Eddie lowered his voice, "I can't believe you're the most reasonable from the two of us. Okay, okay, you win. But I will talk. You stay quiet."
"I'll just sniff-"
"No sniffing or tasting or whatever. No talking. Just...stay quiet."
Eddie found you a few moments later, grabbing a bottle of ketchup - it was Eddie's favorite one. He cleared his throat, trying to get your attention and as you looked up at him with a warm smile and beautiful eyes, he noticed his increasing heartbeat, "Hi, uhm, it's me...again.", he said and stumbled over his own tongue. You waited. You gave him the room for his own pace to say what he wanted. He saw it in your patient expression, "I... I- I was wondering if you would like to drink some coffee? With me? Someday?"
You chuckled softly. He was sweet. Even enchanting. This tall man with broad shoulders looked tired with dark circles under his eyes. But there was something on him you liked immediately - his shy smile and his boyish look as he looked at you insecurely. So, you said yes. And without knowing, you put broken pieces back together of Eddie's self who thought the parts couldn't ever be fixed again.
~~
You dated Eddie for a few weeks. He had been honest with you very early because he had lied often enough. You had met Venom and to Eddie's surprise, you liked the symbiont. Everything went well. Too well. Eddie saw the next big crash just around the corner. Trouble was never sparing him. It was just a matter of time before he or Venom would do something stupid. It always was like this. Something was good and in the next moment an invisible force did everything to destroy every little bit of happiness Eddie called his own.
But you were different. You didn't let him. Eddie tried to cage himself? You did everything to break open the thick walls. Eddie tried to fight with you? You stayed calm, giving him the time and opportunity to let off some steam just to be still there for him when he was done. You gave him the space Eddie needed to recover from things you couldn't completely understand. And that was okay. You knew you didn't have to understand him and his inner demons to be there for him.
Most of the time, your dates were simple. Cooking in your apartment or in Eddie's. Watching TV, playing some games, just spending time together. It was okay for you not to go out all the time. Usually, you didn't need fancy restaurants or expensive bars. Until one day. Eddie knew this day would come - he had braced himself for that moment.
You came from the kitchen, bringing him a new beer before sitting next to him, "Eddie, a friend of mine is having a gig in a small bar. It's her first time on a stage and I... I would like to go there with you.", you asked carefully while snuggling against his chest, sitting on his couch. You felt him tensing as expected. But after a while he said yes.
Eddie said yes because you never asked for something. That you did it showed him the importance. You deserved this. You deserved that Eddie would bite the bullet to do something in return for you after everything you had done.
~~
The bar was one of these with an old-school look. Dark wood panels on the walls. The smell of expensive cigars in the air. Small lamps with green lampshades on small tables set the room into a dim atmosphere. The leather armchairs looked cozy and the drinks were cold. The guests had money or at least, they looked like that.
Eddie felt out of place.
Eddie and you sat side by side on a small couch near the stage. Snuggled up against each other but the more people filled the room the more Eddie became nervous. You felt his muscles tensing. He rubbed his hands along his pants to clean them from the sweat - which wasn't really there. It was a habit you had noticed whenever he became insecure and wanted to run far far away instead of staying where he was.
Your friend entered the stage. She was beautiful as always. Just her and her guitar and it was enough. She started to sing with her honey-like voice. She filled the room with soft notes and even warmer words.
The bar was full of people. Too many for Eddie to relax. Venom stayed quiet but it wasn't helping much. He knew the symbiont was there. Eddie wanted to run. No matter where. He would love to take you with him. You gave him peacefulness where usually there was chaos. Like a bright light in pure darkness. And as if you had sensed his thoughts, you took his hand. Placing yours in his. Intertwining and knotting your fingers with his in a calming, loving way. Stroking over his skin with your thumb in slow circles to sooth him. Eddie watched your moves for a while before he looked straight into your eyes which were filled with love and silent understanding.
"I'm here for you, Eddie. No matter what. You're not alone and you're gonna be okay. Just give yourself the time you need.", you said softly. The smile that spread slowly on Eddie's lips gave your heartbeat more speed. It was the sweetest one you ever had seen on him. The sparkling of his eyes let you melt within seconds for this brooding man all over again. You rested your head against his shoulder to enjoy this perfect moment.
Eddie pressed a soft kiss on top of your head, inhaling your scent - knowing that he will be okay one day. With you by his side.

spoilers under cut for spiderman 2 for ps5
I HATE HOW SYMBIOTES ARE PURE EVIL THIS IS BULLSHIT JUST LIKE MSM 2017 SHOW THIS IS BAD FAITH, BAD. BAD BULLSHIT THEY ARE NOT EVIL FUCK YOU ENTIRELY
booooo no eddie brock
at least harry didnt die. i was worried they were gonna kill him but thank god not. tho he is in a coma :(
antivenom cool hehe
otto at the end: "shove it up your ugly ass, you heard me, shove it up. your ugly ass i aint tell you shit fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you." honestly? good for him ehheheh
mysterio!!! looks and sounds like Phantasm mysterio! yeee! tho a bit more... deranged. and too basic white bread looking he needs his scowl and dark hair cut shhhhh but his costume is on point!
BECKY REDEMPTION RAAAAAAAAAAAHHH LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Betsy being the one to pull becky's strings works so fucking good ooohhh my godddd they wanted to capitalize off of his work and they were the only ones who appreciated him OUGHGH
like he loved them and they loved him but that loved turned to poison and led to this i fucking LOVE IT RAAAAAAH
the scream fight was good. i loved pete and mj talking it out through the fight, that was the heart and soul of it ehhe. still hate that all symbiotes are evil ffs
so what i gather from this is that venom is the envoy of knull bc of the symbol everywhere and his arrival to earth on the meteor and all. like he seems to be able to control symbiote matter and other symbiotes at will like the core of the hive. so. i guess it's an evil knull-ified venom. msm 2017 was also an evil venom but that was his own choice? knull already peaced out billions of years ago, it was betrayal that made venom from their old hatred of being torn from their hosts so. blegh
this venom is like if movie venom stayed with riot to conquer the earth. and had hive powers/wasnt cut off from the hive like he was in the comics when he first showed up in og secret wars.
also also?????? why not let the earth become a symbiote hive???? i dont see a downside here guys gimme one.
(seemed kinda like the darkhold/some dark magic with how they all turn to dust as soon as the meteor core is destroyed. or that really is the heart of klyntar/knull. anyways. blegh. no goos anymore im sad.)
like i am being serious. klyntar /would/ heal the earth. we could get a lot of shit done if we cleared our heads and stopped fighting all the fucking time jesus. we could become so great together I AM SERIOUS. i wanna be a klyntar host so BAD. i am 100% straight faced balls deep serious about this.

Hey! Congrats on the beautiful milestone, 3K is freaking incredible and you have earned every single one of the praise and love. Could I ask for n. 10 or n. 16 for Eddie Brock/Venom? I'm feeling giddy and frisky since it's Friday :)
How about both? 😌 we stan a cocky Eddie
10. "I've seen the way you look at me when you think I don't notice." +
16. “You fainted… straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”
attention - Eddie Brock x f!reader
word count: 635 
Tumblr media
gif: @tonystarkz 
Working with Eddie wasn’t always a picnic. He was one of the most prolific reporters in America, which meant he was on high demand, and that meant you had to go wherever he went.
Of course all of that went to his head, you thought amused. But his cockiness wasn’t off-putting as you had expected it to be. Matter of fact, more often than not, it was… attractive seeing him all confident and sure of his methods.
You did hear a while ago that there had been several incidents which led to his decline, but things seemed to have picked up quite nicely for him now.
Your relationship, while strictly professional, didn’t lack a good teasing. Sometimes it went a little too heated, to the point where you swore that there was something else lingering in between the two of you. Unspoken and boiling, almost needing to be released. All the fugitive glances, the bickering and mockingly pet names had to remain just that.
But there was more to Eddie than just his work persona, and unfortunately for your ego, you had to find that out the hard way one day at work.
You’d been feeling lightheaded and weak since the very early morning, but you thought a strong cup of coffee would do the trick. Hours later, as you stood in the office and were checking your camera, the nausea returned. You tried your best to fight it off, taking deep and steady breaths and reinforcing the idea that you were okay and it was just in your head.
Next thing you knew, you woke up on a couch, with Eddie atop of you, seemingly sporting a concerned look.
“What happened?” you asked, frowning.
“You fainted… straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”
The frown turned into a repulsed face as you shoved a giggling Eddie away, getting off the couch. You seemed to be in his office, which meant that Eddie probably carried you all the way there, gently and caringly…
You stopped breathing for a moment.
Eddie’s chuckle brought you back to reality, the one in which you and him were still bickering colleagues and nothing else.
“I don’t need your attention,” you scowled. “And I didn’t faint just so you can – do whatever it is that you did.”
“I just carried you to the couch, that’s all. Don’t sweat it, sweetheart.”
You knew the sweetheart was yet another mocking pet name, but damn it, it got you. It got you good. Your chest heaving and your whole body burning up for a whole other reason than sickness, you looked away from him.
“Now you’re gonna be shy?” he teased further. “Come on. I see the way you look at me when you think I don’t notice.”
“Don’t you have somewhere to be instead of sitting here, being all condescending?”
“Just wanted to make sure you’re okay.”
He handed you a glass of water and stood up, ready to leave.
“Why?” you asked him, suddenly lacking the appetite for the usual playful shenanigans.
“Why… what?”
“Why did you stay here with me?”
Eddie frowned. “What kind of question is that? I just wanted to make sure you’re okay. I do have a heart, you know?”
“I know you do, I just… it’s not our usual game.”
Eddie sat back down again, his face exhibiting a compassionate look for what you were sure it was the first time since you’ve known each other.
“It’s not always a game,” he said in the softest voice possible. “Besides, I – I’m just as guilty of those looks when you don’t notice.”
Wide-eyed, you’re left pondering in the office with Eddie staring at you sweetly. This time you’re convinced there is something boiling in between.

Anon Requested: Omg wait can i request a fic where reader feels like they aren’t good enough for eddie and venom so reader breaks up with them and eddies sad and just a lot of angst (BUT happy ending) if not thats okay !
A/n: Day 5!! I'm think about just extending the weekathon to the entire month! Not too sure yet, but I should decide quickly huh!! I just think it'd be fun to do something like that. Maybe get more and more festive along the way. What do you think?
Song: Halley's Comet by Billie Eilish
"So, that's just it? You're just gonna up and leave and not tell us why?"
He wanted to sound mad, but his voice gave it all away. You couldn't stand the thought of what you were doing to them both. You couldn't even bring yourself to look at them as you left. You didn't even bother to grab your things. You just left emptyhanded.
Subconsciously, maybe you knew you'd find your way back eventually. But...Not now.
The weight of the world began to crush you with every step you took away from their place. You knew they were watching you from the window. If you had to leave, they'd at least make sure you'd stay safe.
It all felt like a cruel punchline to an unfunny joke. How could you be such a fool to think you'd be good for them? They....They were a protector. A lethal one, but still a protector. They helped people and saved the world from every threat imaginable. You sometimes couldn't even drag yourself out of bed.
It didn't seem fair to drag them down like that. They deserved better. They deserved the world, and you just couldn't give them that. Someday they'd find someone who would.
That night was spent alone on a friend's spare guest bed. The world was so quiet. There were no streetlights beaming into your room. There was no more sounds of late night traffic or the people talking and walking as they passed under your shared window.
There was no more fighting Venom for the comforter because he'd purposely hog it just to get your attention. It always worked. There wasn't the usually jokes about forgetting to set your alarms for the work morning ahead.
You simply set your alarm and laid down. The world seemed so much colder and emptier. It didn't seem fun and bright anymore. The bed felt much more spacious now.. The pillows felt too squishy and new. The sheets looked nothing like his.
Staring at the wall wasn't going to put you to sleep any faster, so you rolled over and clamped your eyes shut. You willed yourself to not cry.
The tv kept repeating the same old stuff. Robbery after robbery. Someone got shot. A car accident. Oh, it's going to rain tomorrow.
We should be fixing that..
"I don't feel like doing anything anymore."
"I don't feel like doing anything anymore either, V."
There was an uncomfortable silence. Normally there'd be some form of a pep talk from you, but now.. Your spot on the couch was empty. All that was there to suggest that you even existed was your favorite throw pillow.
With hesitation, Eddie grabbed the pillow and held it in his lap. It still looked brand new, and that's simply because you always knew how to take care of things. Nothing of yours ever really got broken or misplaced..And you always knew just how to handle things.
"I miss them."
A thought they shared in common. It's felt like months, but it's only been a couple of weeks. Your things were still occupying space here. It was almost torturous having to look at them each day and know that you weren't going to come home.
It was that thought that broke them both. They curled up on the couch, sad and defeated. The world was incomplete because you weren't here to make ti better. A rough day at work? You'd say, "Oh, don't worry." as you made some hot coco to relax with. Emotions getting out of control? You were always there with ways to fix them.
Did they take you for granted? Did they forget to cherish you? Did they do something wrong? Everyone always told them that they were just screwups who ruined everything, so maybe they just fucked it up again.
Maybe they'd learn to live with it. Just not today.
It's just not home anymore. Home is where you were.
The rain was awfully heavy today. But you were thankful. Today was hitting you harder than the last few. You were stumbling down the sidewalk, tears streaming down your face. Nothing seemed to hold any meaning anymore. You'd pass by Mrs. Chen's shop, and normally you'd stop by there to get Eddie and V a snack or two. But now, you simply keep walking.
Today you just let your body walk. To where? Wherever you felt like you needed to go. You were so tired, and so worn down. That only help cement in the fact that you just... You were an absolute nobody. Who could love a nobody?
If only you were born gifted with the brains, the talents or even the powers. Maybe you'd be worth something. Maybe you'd see yourself as more. Maybe if you felt like you held any importance to anyone, you'd find a reason to stick around anywhere, with anyone.
Despite wanted to be more to literally anyone, all you could think is being better for them. They meant so much, no, no, they mean so much to you. It felt so dumb and childish to be so hung up on two of the goofiest creatures on this planet. You couldn't lie to anyone. You were hopelessly in love with Eddie Brock, a man who truly was a breed of his own. And you were in love with Venom, an alien with a heart bigger than his stomach but he's too embarrassed to say it.
You don't want to love them anymore. Because you still believe it was better to not be with them.
You slumped against a light post and wiped your eyes. You tried everything to stop the tears from flowing, but that only made them multiply. You'd scold yourself if you had the energy.
The world really did begin to feel more and more empty. People seemed to walk pass and not even give you a second glance. None of them cared, and to be honest, neither did you. Normally you never noticed other people, because you'd be so wrapped up in whatever it was you and Eddie, and yes, Venom too, were doing.
But they aren't here anymore. You were back to where you started. Alone and afraid of what the world had in store. You used to wake up knowing what you'd be doing...But now you weren't sure.
You remained leaned against the streetlight for an eternity. The sun had set and the moon had risen, yet you remained put. Everything was cold now. The rain had subsided, but the light continued to drip down on you, but even then, you didn't have the willpower to move.
It's better to be cold than to have never been warm, right? That is how the saying goes...Right?
You sniffled, waiting for the next set of drops to hit your head, but they never did. You slowly looked up and saw someone's hands holding up a jacket. They looked like they were doing their best to hold it up like an umbrella, and without touching you. You recognized the jacket immediately, even just from seeing the inside of it. You'd worn it so many times.
You stood up straight and turned around, being greeted with the sight of Eddie. He looked just as tired as you, and just as lost. He looked like he had a million things to say, but it seems like the cat had his tongue.
The universe was giving you a chance. For some reason.
"I'm sorry." was the first thing to spill out of your mouth.
"We're sorry, too."
"You didn- It was me. I was.." You took a step back from under the jacket, but it seems like Venom wasn't having any of that. He moved Eddie's body for him, this time, draping the jacket on your shoulders.
You gently crossed your arms and held them close, appreciating the gesture now.
"You can leave now. If you want." Eddie moved back a little, "We just saw that you were cold.."
"I don't want to go." you gripped onto the jacket, trying to fight the new wave of tears threatening to come out, "I just.. I had to because I felt like I wasn't good enough."
You were about to ramble on when Eddie cut you off, "That's why you left?"
"I'm sorry." You felt like you could just curl up and die on the sidewalk.
You looked down, staring at the cracks that littered the walkway. You'd find someway to make this poetic.
Two hands, one human and the other very much not, wrapped themselves around you as they pulled you into a warm embrace.
"Did we make you feel that way?"
The way Eddie's voice cracked made your arms go limp at your sides.
"No. I made myself feel that way- But I can't help it. You guys do so much good and I-"
"We love you."
The hug got tighter, "We used to do what we did because it was the right thing to do. But then we met you and it all changed. It seems so cliche to say that, but...It's true."
"You're just saying that."
"We adore you. We promised to do everything we can to make sure we leave this world a better place for you."
Your hands shook as your fought with yourself. You wanted to hold them just as close as they were holding you, but you felt-
"I don't deserve this.."
Unworthy.
In typical Brock fashion, and never knowing how to truly deal with his emotions, Eddie clung to you, almost pleading, "Would you just listen to what we're saying."
"You can't love me."
"Why the hell not? Huh? Whose going to stop us?"
"Nobody's going to stop us."
"Why is it me. Out of all the worthy people, why me?"
"You're such a good person. I know you don't see that..But you're the kindest person I've ever met."
"Certainly the nicest I've met..."
Every last word you wanted to yell out into the night sky just vanished from your mind. You wrapped your arms around Eddie and squeezed as hard as you could.
"How many times do we have to say it to make you believe it?"
"I'll say it a billion times," Eddie said, "Most guys would quit at a million but me? I don't know when to quit."
"It's true. He doesn't. But if saying it a billion times gets you to come home, then I'd do it a million more than him."
"I," You started, taking in a deep shaky breath, "I wanna go home regardless."
"We can talk more there if you're comfortable."
"With coco."
"I would like that."
The walk home was a talkative one.
Eddie's hand held yours tightly, but not too tight. He was so afraid that if he didn't hold it firmly enough, you'd simply slip away again. He was sure as hell not letting that happen again.
The apartment looked the exact same as when you left. You were so surprised by that. Normally they'd be a mess if you were gone for too long, and the apartment would reflect that.
"It all looks the same."
"Oh. Yeah." Eddie busied himself with fetching the hot chocolate ingredients.
"We couldn't bring ourselves to ruin your hard work...Or move your things." For the first time, Venom seemed sad.
They both seemed tired. You wanted to feel bad, knowing that they felt that way because of you. But knowing that they loved you meant that they felt bad, not because of you, but because you were gone.
Without thinking, your hand reached out and grabbed Eddie's arm, startling him a little.
"Can we go lay down for a little bit.." you asked quietly, "I think we all need a little rest."
Relief washed over him as he set down the cups and lead the way to the bedroom. There was no more words as you three crashed onto the mattress. Venom used a small tendril to turn the lamp off and pull you closer to Eddie.
"Are you okay with loving a nobody like me?" you asked as you watched him shut his eyes.
"Are you okay with loving two nobodies?"
"We are all losers."
Venom pulled a blanket over you and Eddie, going so far as to fluff the pillows under your heads.
"And that's okay. I love us the way we all are."
You yawned for the first time in ages as your eyes closed, "I love us too."
There was that familiar light coming through the window. And there was the sounds of the cars and the people. The world felt just right and you were home. You moved closer to Eddie and placed a quick, soft kiss on his lips, and his arms were quick to wrap around you.
You felt a soft tendril wrap around your arm.
"I know what you're feeling and what you're thinking." His voice sounded surprisingly quiet, "But you are more than enough for us. We don't say it, but sometimes we feel the same way. You could certainly do better than us. But.."
The tendril tighten a little, but not enough to really do much.
"You left and we realized...We don't know what to do without you. We didn't feel like doing anything anymore. It felt pointless."
You turned your head to look at your arm, seeing two small white eyes staring at you with a mixture of sadness and adoration.
"I know I'm not good with these human emotions..I might never be good with them, but..I know that I love you. And Eddie loves you too. We always try our best to show you..But you are truly all we need to be happy in this life."
You were a bit shocked with how much Venom had to say. Most of the time, he tried to use the least amount of words possible to get his point across, so you knew that he meant it.
"You both complete me, and for once, I finally have the courage to say it, because I don't know when I'll get the chance to say it again."
You smiled softly at him, and moved your arm in a way where you could place a soft kiss onto the top of his tiny little worm head.
"I won't leave again. I promise we can talk about it first."
"Talking is good."
"I love you, V."
"I love you too." He seemed to pause as he shot a glance up to Eddie, just to make sure he was still asleep, "More than that guy."
"Not possible." Eddie groaned, adjusting a little.
You smiled a little as you curled up under the blanket and actually shut your eyes for good for the night. Finally, a good night's rest. You still had doubts, maybe not many and none as big and frightening as before, but that was normal.
Not everything in life is a given or a certainty. You're not promised to tomorrow and it's not a give that you'll be a millionaire. But where you are now is where you're supposed to be. Don't doubt it. The two halves of your heart will quite literally walk to the ends of the universe just to see you smile, and that's more than enough for you.

Eddie Brock x reader x Venom (HC)
Requested by my amazing @sirkekselord​: GIVE ME VENOM AND EDDIE BROCK! [Rest is redacted so that theres no spoilers ;)]
A/N: Venom is in bold and thoughts in general are italic
Tumblr media
You were young, you were dumb and you were hopeful, so of fucking course you moved to the big city (in this case San Francisco) to follow your dream of becoming an artist
Well, needless to say that you were quite naive to think that you’d just magically get dicovered and that you’d be represented in an art gallery...
Because that didn’t happen, no matter how amaizing your paintings were and how magnificent your sculptures, the gallery and museums turned you away because of a ‘lack of experience’
But you didn’t give up on painting and creating, and you didn’t give up on wanting to make it in the big city, you’d just decided that it would take time
So the next best thing for you to do was to get a job, to be able to start paying for your own things and move out of your aunts apartement, while gaining as much experience through unpayed internships and other activities as you could
It wasn’t what you had hoped for, but only a few months later you had a realitivly good paying job at a chocolatier in the heart of the city while selling your paintings and taking commission on the side, earning enough money to get a small flat all for yourself
Moving in was a whole hot mess, but you somehow managed to get most of it done in a weekend (you didn’t have a lot of stuff after all), yet having to meet your neighbors
Over the next few weeks you met a few people who lived on the floors above and below you, but the guys who were living in the apartement opposite you were a no show
At least during the times when you’d leave or get home
You knew it had to be two men who lived together seeing as you sometimes could hear them fight through the walls, but other than that you knew nothing about the two
The first time you actually met Eddie was after a shift where a costumer had managed to spill his fancy ice cocoa over you, making your whole body smell like you’ve been spending your nights at Willi Wonka’s chocholate factory
So, while you were standing in the somewhat shabby elevator, Ed was on his way to leave for his nightly “walk” with Venom, only for his body to completely freeze when he came near the stairs
“What’s your Problem?” “CHOCOLATE!”
Cue to the elevator opening and you stepping out, your gaze fixed on your phone, not realizing there was somebody else here until you straight up walked into a tall frame
That was how you’d met Eddie, the short conversation consisting of apologize and introducions before he excused himself, seemingly somewhere else with his thoughts
And after that the two of you somehow weren’t able to go for two/three days before you walked into each other again
It was almost uncanny
...or...fate? 
At first it was just in the hallway, short greetings turning into short conversations turning into inside jokes, smiles and laughs 
Then, after you got comfortable with your lifestyle and managed to asses which evenings were good enough to take some time off, you somehow ended in his favorite bar, on his usual chair
Whenever the two of you met at random places, be it the Deli at the corner, the park while you were sketching or just somewhere in the city, your conversations would get deeper and only a few months later it was like he knew everything about you and you almost everything about him
You liked him and you were pretty sure he liked you too
The only reason you didn’t act on your feelings was that, even tho you felt like you knew him, there were sstill some red flags that made you think twice...
..how he’d sometimes just stare at you with almost empty eyes...
...how, whenever you came home from your job, you’d catch him standing closer than usual...
...how sometimes, while you were out and about in the city and met him, he seemed like he was talking to himself in a hushed voice
Not to mention the thing that made you doubt your own sanity
His roommate seemed to be completely non-existend
You’d talked to some housemates and mentioned him on the offside and they all swore that Eddie lived there alone, but in the evening you could still hear two voices that definitly belonged to two different people
When you finally get the guts to ask Ed about his roommate, he just looks at you weirdly and states that he doesn’t have one, so you don’t press the topic further
It’s then that you think that it’s maybe not a roommate, but a boyfriend or something like that and decide that it’d maybe be best if you kept your distance from him 
But both Eddie and Venom (who had taken a liking to you from the distance) noticed and decided that it was maybe time to tell you about their litlle...uhm situation
It took a lot of soothing and sweet talking to get you out of the bathroom when he had showed you, but after that you slowly started to warm up to Venom
On Eddie’s advice on you started bringing chocolate smaples from your job along for him and from that moment forward he was sold
But even tho you were now friends with both Eddie and Venom, the two (or three) of you still weren’t anything more even tho Venom could literally smell how lovesick his two tiny mortals were for each other 
So he decided to help out and, one evening while you were chilling in front of the TV at Ed’s place, he wrapped himself around the two of you like a coucon, telling you he’d only let you out if you talked about the obvious
Not even promising him a chocolate cake (or a human much to you horror) got him to back off
So you talked
and then you kissed...
After that it was pretty much time for the Powercouple™
You’d read all his articles while he and Venom were the muse for a lot of your paintings and sculptures
Not long after the two of you both moved out of that apartement builduing and into a bigger one a few streets over
Venom started switching between Eddie and you (he’d stay with you at home and switch back to Eddie when the two of you went to work) 
All in all it got very domestic and cute very quick
And in a wink of destiny, not soon after a women approached you while you were painting in the Park (like so often before you included Venom into a natur envionement (even tho it was so artsy that you wouldn’t immediatly get that it was Venom)) and gave you her card, saying that you were exactly what she looked for for her newely opened Gallery
Not soon after Eddie, you and Venom (who was sharing your body at that moment) were standing in the packed Gallery on opening night, with people praising your art of the two of them
In hindsight, walking into Ed all those months ago was most likely the best thing that had ever happened to you...

Psycho Analysis: Spider-Man Movie Villains
Tumblr media
(WARNING! This analysis contains SPOILERS!)
Spider-Man, Spider-Man, he does whatever a spider can. And what do spiders seem really good at? Amassing huge quantities of hatred and animosity! True to the wily arachnids that inspired him, Spider-Man has quite the impressive gallery of foes, one that I might say rivals Batman as the greatest in comic book history with how colorful, crazy, and creative they are. Even villains derivative of one another, like Hobgoblin and Green Goblin or Carnage and Venom, manage to carve out unique niches that help make them fun and memorable.
And thankfully, these qualities usually translated pretty well to film! I’ve talked about how good Mysterio, Vulture, Kingpin, and Prowler are before, so now it’s time to cover the others all in one fell swoop! From the Raimi trilogy, we have Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Harry Osborn, Sandman, and Eddie Brock/Venom; from the Andrew Garfield duology, we have Lizard, Electro, Rhino, and Harry Osborn again; and leftover from Into the Spider-Verse we have Olivia Octavius, Tombstone, Scorpion, and that film’s brief take on Green Goblin! Oh, and why not throw in Riot from Venom while we’re at it, because he sucks way too much to get his own Psycho Analysis.
Motivation/Goals: A lot of villains are motivated by the classic motivation: revenge. All of the Green Goblins manage to have this as a main part of their actions, making them remarkably consistent and very easy to discuss. The Norman of the Raimi films wants to take out his anger at being frozen out of his own company, and his son wants revenge for his death, while the Harry of the Garfield films wants his vengeance because Spider-Man wouldn’t help cure him of his otherwise incurable disaease that would kill him (a fact made worse because Spider-Man is his actual best friend, Peter Parker, who is coldly condemning his pal to death). The only one who doesn’t really fit is the Spider-Verse take on Green Goblin, and that’s more because he has extremely limited screentime and spends all of it fighting Peter and being scary as hell.
Eddie Brock/Venom is a very interesting case as both halves of the character are motivated by different reasons. The symbiote half is, of course, motivated by the fact that Peter has tried to rid himself of it via using a church bell to kill it. Eddie, on the other hand, has the most absolutely hilarious motivation ever: He wants Peter Parker to die because Peter exposed him for submitting fraudulent pictures to J. Jonah Jameson. Eddie literally breached journalistic ethics but apparently Peter’s to blame for exposing his literal, actual crime! And he prays to God for Peter to die! This version of Eddie is cartoonishly hilarious.Finally, we have Max Dillon, AKA Electro, who is lashing out at a world that did nothing but belittle and demean him, giving him a far more sympathetic motive for revenge.
Kurt Connors is an interesting halfway point between the Doc Ocks and the villains above, because he is not really evil and his whole transformation came about for altruistic scientific reasons, as he tested his serum on himself because they were going to test it out on the public without consent. While the serum drives him mad, he initially only goes after those who were going to use his formula with people as guinea pigs.
Interestingly, the two Doc Ocks contrast each other. While both of them are doing evil deeds for scientific reasons, Otto Octavius is being forced by his tentacles and genuinely wishes to make the world a better place otherwise. Olivia, on the other hand, is a gleeful sadist who doesn’t care who she hurts as long as she can get some sort of scientific knowledge from it.
Sandman is interesting case because his motivations are entirely sympathetic and despite being the man who killed Uncle Ben, it was entirely accidental and he always regretted it. He only ever wanted to get money to save his daughter. It’s really hard not to sympathize with a guy who turned to desperate measures because the American health care system sucks even in a universe where a dude dressed in a bright red suit swings around New York.
Then there are all the rest. Aleksei Systevich, AKA Rhino, is just a criminal, and has barely any screentime to establish a motivation beyond that. This is especially hilarious because the ads really hyped this guy up, only for him to get maybe five minutes of screentime, with most of it at the very end of the movie before the credits (we don’t even get to see his final battle). Tombstone and Scorpion are basically just lackeys for Kingpin, with little established beyond that. Scorpion almost shows up entirely out of nowhere, just popping in for the fight at Aunt May’s house and then the final battle. And then there’s Riot, who just wants to start a symbiote apocalypse on Earth.
Performance: Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, and Thomas Haden Church as Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Sandman in the Raimi trilogy are, in a word, iconic. Dafoe brings a gleeful, cackling hamminess to the Goblin that perfectly suits him and manages to steal every single with how delightfully, cartoonishly evil he is combined with some hilariously chummy moments with Spider-Man. Molina as Ock goes in the opposite direction of hamminess, where instead of making Octavius cartoonishly evil, he gives him this air of gravitas to the point where he somehow manages to make this villain with giant metal tentacles that are controlling his mind come off as sophisticated and serious as Hannibal Lecter. Church meanwhile just looks eerily perfect as Sandman, as if he were ripped straight from the comics and put onscreen, and then of course there’s how well he manages to sell the emotional moments of the character.
The Harrys are a rather mixed bag, sad to say. James Franco and Dennis DeHaan aren’t really bad actors, but they unfortunately have the problem of living in the shadow of the actor who played their dad (Franco) or being in a really awful movie with a terrible script (DeHaan). Franco at least makes up for this by being hilariously, cartoonishly evil to the extent of his dad in the third Raimi film, but DeHaan unfortunately falls rather flat. Topher Grace as Venom is a choice that seems baffling until you realize Raimi cast an actor like this on purpose because he hates Venom so much he didn’t want to give him any dignity.
Jamie Foxx as Electro seems odd at first, but I feel it’s actually a great casting choice, and despite how unbelievably stupid the script is, he’s actually able to do a fairly good job. If his character was in a better movie, he’d probably get a lot less flak (and he’ll be getting his chance soon enough, apparently). Overall, he’s the best part of the Garfield films. Rhys Ifans and Paul Giamatti as Lizard and Rhino are serviceable, but neither film they’re in really gives them much to work with. Giamatti at least gets to steal the show with his brief scenes by being an absolute ham, but Ifans is sadly a bit forgettable in his role (though not for lack of trying on his part).
Now onto the Spider-Verse ensemble! Considering how I gushed over her delightful performance as the Wicked Witch of Westview in WandaVision as well as the fact she is solely responsible for me resurrecting this series from its long hiatus, it should come as no shock at all that Kathryn Hahn as Olivia Octavius is just perfect. Controversial opinion, I know, might get some flak for this hot take. Jorma Taccone as Green Goblin, Joaquin Cosio as Scorpion, and Marvin Jones III as Tombstone all do well for what they’re given, but it’s clear most of the love among Kingpin’s henchmen was given to her (and Prowler, but he got his own review where I talked about how great he is).
Oh, right, Riot. I forgot about him. Riz Ahmed, who plays the human villain Carlton Drake I forgot to mention because he’s incredibly boring, is a really good (and sexy) actor. Unfortunately, he doesn’t get to be quite as good and sexy as an actor like him should be in his dual role. In an interesting subversion of how things usually go, he ends up being rather bland compared to the hammy, bonkers hero. This was Tom Hardy’s show, and no one was stealing it from him.
Final Fate: The Raimi films were all made during a time when, if your name wasn’t Magneto and you were a superhero movie villain, you were dying, a trend I’m certainly glad is finally starting to die off. Thankfully, Green Goblin manages to stick around and posthumously influence Harry, so in his case it’s not so bad. Harry and Doc Ock both manage to overcome the darkness in their hearts at the end and sacrifice their lives to help save the day, while Eddie dies after becoming such a simp for the symbiote he leaps into it while Peter is blowing it up. With Sandman, Peter actually has a touching reconciliation with Sandman at the end, forgiving him for the death of Uncle Ben before Sandman dissolves into dust and floats away on the breeze. And no, this is his power, not Thanos’ snap reaching across time, space, and dimensions; Sandman actually gets out of these films alive.
The other villains actually get off easier, as most of them go to jail. From the Amazing Spider-Man films, DeHaan’s Goblin and Rhys Ifan’s Lizard both end up in prison, and it’s safe to assume that the villains of Spider-Verse are going to jail alongside Kingpin. Octavius was hit by a bus, sure, but considering how popular she ended up being it would be really dumb to have that actually kill her. With Electro and Rhino though, it’s really ambiguous, the former because he’s made of electricity and the way he was defeated means it is possible he survived, and the latter because we never actually see the outcome of his battle with Spider-Man. If the film they were in was actually good and warranted sequels, we may have found out what their true fates were, but at the very least Electro is moving over to the MCU alongside Molina’s Doc Ock.
Oh, right, forgot Riot again. He dies.
Best Scene/Best Quote: I’m combining these this time just to make it easier on me, because in at least in a couple cases the two are the same.
Green Goblin has a lot to choose from, to the point where it’s easy to cop out and just say every scene he’s in is amazing. I’ve always been fond of his chummy chat with Spider-Man on the rooftop, or the scene where he terrifies Aunt May, or the scene where he attacks the parade and vaporizes the board of directors with pumpkin bombs.
Dock Ock is easy: the train battle. This might be one of the best action scenes in any superhero movie ever, and since he’s the villain in it, it almost goes without saying..There’s a reason this scene is singled out so often.
youtube
Eddie Brock and DeHaan Goblin actually have their best scenes also be their best lines. Eddie praying for God to kill Peter Parker and DeHaan!Harry screaming “YOU’RE A FRAUD, SPIDER-MAN!” after Spidey refuses to give him a life-saving blood transfusion are just so absolutely hilarious and memorable that you can’t hate them.
Aside from the powerful forgiveness moment at the film’s end, I think it’s really indisputable that the best scene from Sandman, and perhaps the Raimi trilogy as a whole, is the scene of Sandman’s creation. Words really can’t do it justice, so just watch:
youtube
Electro’s best moment isn’t even actually part of the movie, unless you want to count his rendition of “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider.” No, his is from a Tumblr post, proving definitively that Electro’s power can not be contained.
Tumblr media
For Olivia, I’d say either of the reveals for her are great. You can go with the twist that she’s the Doc Ock of Miles’ universe, or the twist that she might have fucked Aunt May. Either way, you can’t really go wrong.
The rest of the villains… yeah, I’ve got nothing. At least with Rhino you can say his entire time on screen was fun, but the rest? Nope. They’re kind of just there.
Final Thoughts & Score:
Green Goblin
Tumblr media
Where to begin with this guy? He is everything I look for in a great villain: he’s hammy and cartoonish, he can be terrifying and threatening when he wants to be, he has a ridiculous yet memorable costume, every word out of his mouth is hilarious and memorable, and he’s played by an amazing actor. It’s hard to dispute that Doc Ock is the best villain in Raimi’s trilogy, but Goblin is definitely the most fun. If you thought he’d get less than a 10/10, you thought wrong.
Doctor Octopus
Tumblr media
Aside from Green Goblin, Doc Ock is Spidey’s most iconic and memorable foe, nd this adaptation of him does not disappoint. By making him a more tragic and somewhat anti-villainous figure and putting him in the hands of someone as awesome and talented as Alfred Molina, they managed to make such a cartoonish villain retain that comic book silliness while still being a legitimately imposing antagonist. I suppose it helps that a director who knows how to balance silly and serous like Raimi helps. It’s absolutely not a shock that the MCU wants to bring Molina back, because really, I can’t see anyone making the dubious doctor nearly as cool as the 10/10 performance Molina gave.
Harry Osborn
Tumblr media
Franco’s Harry has an interesting arc, but one that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense under scrutiny. Frankly, his descent into villain is handled well but when he actually gets to be a villain in the third film, things fall apart.. But at any rate, he gets to be cartoonishly hilarious while he pettily ruins Peter’s life, so I think a 3/10 is warranted just for how goofy he is.
Eddie Brock/Venom
Tumblr media
For the longest time, I hated Eddie Brock, but loved the Venom symbiote for its fantastic design… A design hampered by the fact Topher Grace keeps sticking his face through the symbiote and talking in his normal voice. But then one day I remembered Eddie literally prays to God for Peter Parker to die, and I realize that as crappy as this version of Venom is, he’s undoubtedly hilarious. A 3/10 mainly because of how hilariously bad he is, though the design of the symbiote is unironically great. Shame Grace kept sticking his face through and that Raimi hates the character.
Sandman
Tumblr media
Sandman is a villain who deserved a better movie. Sure, Spider-Man 3 is fun and funny, but a character with this much depth and emotional weight deserved a film of the caliber of Spider-Man 2. At any rate, he adds a bit of class and dignity to the proceedings, and Thomas Haden Church really nails it. He’s a 9/10 for sure.
Lizard
Tumblr media
Lizard is just a very boring villain, which is a shame because Lizard is not a boring villain in the comics and other media like the cartoons. I don’t really know if he was the best choice for Spider-Man’s first outing; I’ll at least give him that he’s a more inspired choice than doing the Green Goblin again, but that doesn’t score him higher than a 4/10. As boring as he ends up being, that library fight was pretty cool and had a great Stan Lee cameo, so I can’t say he’s the bottom of the barrel.
Electro
Tumblr media
Electro is a villain who desperately deserved a better movie. While his backstory as a nerdy fanboy who got kicked around by the world is nothing new, or fresh, or original, Jamie Foxx manages to make the character work fairly well even though almost everything around him is unbelievably stupid. The fact he managed to make “Don’t you know? I’m Electro” sound cool and badass is a testament to his skill, and thankfully he’s coming back in the MCU in some way, so I guess Electro’s power can not be contained to a single movie. Still, this iteration only manages to get to a 6/10, because while all the elements of greatness are there, he’s hampered by the abysmal writing.
Rhino
Tumblr media
Paul Giamatti certainly looks like he’s having a blast here. His attitude is almost infectious, but alas, his time is too brief to bring any great joy, and his jarring appearance out of nowhere at the end of the film certainly do him no favors. Still, Giamatti keeps Rhino from sinking any lower than a 5/10.
Harry Osborn
Tumblr media
This Harry is just a joke. His arc makes no sense, his actions are unbelievable, and he ends up looking like a really poor Warwick Davis Leprechaun cosplayer. The only thing of note about him is that he’s a Harry who becomes the Green Goblin before his father, something that doesn’t happen very often, and that’s not enough to score this loser higher than a 2/10. Not even killing Gwen Stacy makes him any more impressive, and that’s a real shame.
Olivia Octavius
Tumblr media
Olivia Octavius is widely beloved by just about everyone who sees the film.. myself included. This is just a really fun, clever twist on Doctor Octopus, and it’s the sort of character you really hope gets a Harley Quinn-level break into becoming an iconic character across multiple forms of media. Kathryn Hahn’s fun performance and the wonderful design and fight sequences really make Olivia a 9/10.
Tombstone
Tumblr media
Tombstone is a villain you might actually forget is in the movie, which is a damn shame. He’s an albino black man, a badass bodyguard, and has a striking design, but he gets a single line of dialogue and is tasked with bodyguarding a man who not only has cyborgs under his employ, but who murdered Spider-Man with his bare hands. Tombstone ultimately feels really superfluous, which is a shame because around the same time Into the Spider-Verse came out he had a very memorable and well-liked appearance in the Spider-Man video game. It’s a real shame but I gotta give this version of Tombstone a 2/10.
Scorpion
Tumblr media
Scorpion has a lot of problems of Tombstone above, but he makes up for a lot of his flaws by having a really cool and striking design. Does it really make him a great villain? No. He’s not particularly well-characterized and he’s really just there to look cool and give Olivia backup. He’s a 4/10 at best, saved from being lower only by his awesome look. Looking cool really can get you far in some cases.
Green Goblin
Tumblr media
Out of all the really minor villains in Spider-Verse, this version of Norman might be the best. His role is tiny, only appearing during the scene where the Peter Parker of Miles’ universe gets killed, but his battle with Spider-Man is what sets the entire plot in motion. His cool and terrifying design definitely help make him stand out enough to earn at least a 6/10.
Riot & Carlton Drake
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look, there’s a reason I kept forgetting these guys. They’re not memorable in the slightest. Venom may be a fantastic work of art, but that’s because Tom Hardy kills it in his dual role as Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote. Drake is just a boring corporate villain, the kind I hate talking about and the kind I’d only ever even bother mentioning in a review like this. And Riot is just a generic Big Gray CGI Monster for the hero to have a final battle with. Neither of these two are particularly interesting, and neither deserves more than a 2/10.
That’s it, right? There can’t be any more villains, I must have covered them all. Well, not quite. There’s one more character who is most certainly an antagonist and who I really, really want to talk about. And you’re absolutely not going to believe who it is.
You ready?
Psycho Analysis: Emo Peter
Tumblr media
“Now wait,” you may be asking, “Emo Peter? Really? How does he count as a villain?” Well, as Schafrillas pointed out in his video on Spider-Man 3, Emo Peter is actually the antagonist for much of the second act. Peter, influenced by the symbiote, becomes a raging jackass and hurts and alienates everyone around him by being a colossal douchebag, not to mention how violent he gets as Spider-Man. This is very much an extreme case of the hero’s greatest enemy being themselves, because literally, Peter’s enemy in the chunk of the movie with Emo Peter is his own overinflated ego
Motivation/Goals: I mean, at the end of the day, it’s still Peter. He still wants to do the typical Peter Parker stuff, he’s just a jackass while he does it.
Performance: It’s Tobey Maguire busting loose and getting to act like an absolute doofus. There is literally nothing about this that isn’t amazing and I’m sorry if you can’t see it.
Final Fate: Peter eventually comes to realize that maybe the symbiote making him act like an egomaniacal tool is not a good thing, and so rebels against it, ultimately leading him to the roof of a church where Eddie Brock is praying for him to die and, well, the rest is history.
Best Scene:
Tumblr media
Best Dance Move:

Final Thoughts & Score: Emo Peter has gotten a bad reputation over the years, but Schafrillas’ video really made me rethink why. As he puts it, Emo Peter comes off not as someone cool, but as what a loser thinks a cool person would be (which makes him still a loser). It seems fairly likely that the audience isn’t supposed to be rooting for Emo Peter or finding him cool, but instead finding him insufferable, ridiculous, and funny. We’re supposed to be laughing at Peter’s egomania, at his absurd and hammy showboating, not cheering him on and desiring to emulate him.
And that ultimately makes it more satisfying when Peter overcomes his ego and decides to rid himself of the symbiote. It might seem like I’m giving Spider-Man 3 a lot of credit here, but even Sam Raimi half-assing a movie wouldn’t leave things completely devoid of underlying brilliance. Emo Peter isn’t a villain in the sense that he’s some superpowered antagonist, he’s a physical representation of the negative impacts of fame and ego on Peter. This is Peter letting go of what makes him a hero and just reveling in being an absolute jerkwad to everyone around him.
I love the memes as much as everyone else of course, but Emo Peter is also a pretty clever symbolic foe. But even though I’m giving him an 8/10, we all know the real reason why he’s scoring so high:

Ok, but that’s it now, right? No more Spider-Man villains? Well, maybe for now. But don’t forget:
There’s gonna be Carnage.

Previous Chapter // Next Chapter
(Summary: The Losers attend the school's annual field trip to a small island. What possibly could go wrong?! )
~
The next morning Richie drove the two Ancestors to school in time to meet up at the required time before the bus leaves at 6.
“What animal schedules a school trip at 6 am?” Richie groaned as he parked at his normal spot in the school parking lot. Once the engine was off Richie finally turned to look at Eddie but quickly glanced down at their hands that were intertwined on the console between them.
After the fight and Richie’s terrible impressions, they eventually made up; they both mentally agreed that they can’t risk separating at this point, especially with the trip in literal hours.
“Well we’re here, we can’t bail now,” Eddie shrugged as he looked from Richie, out into the rising sun over the horizon. “Come on, let’s go puppy.” Eddie requested with a smirk as he opened his door, nearly took a step out before he looked over to Richie for help, his big doe eyes shining in the morning sun.
Richie smiled warmly before he hopped out, went to Eddie’s side and took his hand in his to help him down. “M'lady,” Richie said as Eddie stepped down beside him.
In response he got a slap on the shoulder, “Trashmouth” Eddie playfully rolled his eyes. He grabbed his bag from the back and stepped aside to allow Richie to retrieve his own before they closed the trunk and made their way towards the school.
The rest of the Losers could be seen by the bleachers not too far away from where the teachers were rounding up all the other students who were going on the trip.
“Sup Losers!” Richie called out as he and Eddie approached the others.
“Hey Rich, glad you could make it.” Bev shot him a smirk as she took a drag from her cigarette.
“I don't think any of us have ever seen you up before 8.” Mike joked, he turned to Eddie and asked, “Did you have to lure him out of bed with like a 6 shot of coffee?”. Mike didn’t make jokes like that often, but when he did, they were good.
Richie let out a bark of laughter and slapped his thigh, “Aha! Mikey gets off a good one. No but seriously imma pass out on the bus wake me up when it’s time to go home”. No one was sure whether he was being serious or not…
It was a miracle that all of the Losers were conveniently going on this trip. It was an English trip that was always accompanied by the Creative Writing class, which was taught by Mrs. Stuart. So Richie, Eddie, Ben and Stan were all in English together while Bev, Bill and Mike took the creative writing class.
While they awaited for further instructions from their teachers, the teens talked about random gossip they’d heard recently or rant about family/school life. Almost everyone had something to add, almost. Bill nodded and looked interested, yet he never spoke, well unless he was spoken to but everyone got the vibe that he wanted to be left alone (which was correct). So he stood slightly behind Stanley, so close that the taller boy could feel Bill’s heavy sigh on the back of his neck. It sent shivers down Stan’s spine.
When it was time to line up to get onto the bus, the Losers were the first in line. It allowed them to get the luxury of the back seats. Bill claimed the window seat of the second last seat, Stan slid in beside him, the two boys almost immediately fell asleep, Bill head rested on Stan’s shoulder while Stan’s rested on top of Bill’s. Mike claimed the seat behind them, the back seat. He sat on the edge with his feet in the aisle to face his friends. Richie and Eddie took one back seat while Ben and Bev claimed the one in front of them.
Everyone got settled and ready for the hour (or so) ride ahead. Suddenly, Ben whipped out Uno, things just got interesting.
~
“Don’t you fucking dare do it” Eddie glared daggers at Richie who slowly placed a pick up four card on top of the privious Uno card.
“Fucking hell!” Eddie swore as he tossed the rest of his cards down onto the pile.
Richie couldn’t hold back his laughter as he watched Eddie fume and sulk in the corner. Ben and Bev joined in as they sat on their knees and leaned over the back of their seat and into Eddie and Richie’s area.
“Wanna play another round?” Ben inquired as Eddie shook his head.
“I’m tired- plus if this ass hat pulls another plus 4 card out I’m going to kill everyone on this bus, then myself” Eddie said in a joking tone.
Once Bev and Ben were turned around and settled back into their seat, Eddie leaned his head against the window and his hands on his knees.
Neither of them could deny the fact that they both felt a little claustrophobic on the bus, their Ancestral sides craved to break out and run free. They felt too big for their bodies, like their skin was stretching and their bones were aching.
Richie examined the other Ancestor, the morning sunlight made his freckles shine like stars in the night sky. As much as he wanted to count each and every one of them, his attention was caught by something that rippled over Eddie’s hand. He looked down and noticed how the veins on Eddie's hands, the ones that usually go unnoticed, were dark, almost black. As if someone had injected a black ink like iquo into his veins. Richie quickly slapped a hand over Eddie’s.
Eddie’s eyes snapped down to the hand that Richie held. “It’s okay Rich, it happens on the full moon sometimes. Usually not this early on in the day but- later on it’ll get worse. For the both of us” A grime wave passed over Eddie's eyes as he looked at Richie.
Richie shook his head, slowly, and carefully took Eddie’s hand in his and lifted it up to his face where he kissed the back of his hand, black veins and all.
Eddie blushed, leaned forward and buried his face into the crook of Richie’s neck. Richie wrapped his arm around Eddie’s shoulders and held him close. “Get some shut eye, we’ve still got a ways to go…”.
~
“Okay ladies and gentlemen” Mr Brock said as he stepped off the bus, ahead of the students. “Woah one by one” He instructed as the students began rushing out of the bus.
The losers were the first ones on, that mean they would be the last ones off. Seeing the cliffs, the long green grass, the water that came with the salt in the air, Eddie and Richie were dying to get out and be one with nature. Their extra energy had them bouncing in their seats as they waited for the line up to slowly make its way out of the bus.
“Tag” Richie whispered into Eddie’s ear the moment he stepped off the bus. Immediately afterwards he started sprinting away from the bus, his Ancestral blood pumping through his veins, a certain weight lifted off their shoulders as they ran out in the open. Richie had ran in a circle around their group of students before Eddie quickly caught up and slapped his back-
“Boys calm down!” Mrs. Stuart, called out with a small glare.
Richie halted, Eddie ran into his back. They both turned and giggled like little school girls. “Good one Rich, getting us in trouble before the tour even starts” Eddie mumbled as Richie elbowed him back in response.
Soon a representative from the island came to talk to them and explain how they’d go to the main castle and that’s where they’d meet the tour guide. During that time, Riche took a moment to survey his surroundings.
The wind blew in soft bursts through the tall lush grass on the outskirts of the small city, which consisted of the main building, which could’ve been called a small castle by the way it looked from the outside. Not only was it a castle but it also dubbed as a hotel. But there were also about 20 houses and some general stores. Beyond the main city area, the grass flowed out onto the gravel beaches and into the white waves. Farther out, down a hill there would be ruins of the original city that once laid there. All that was left were tunnels, caves and cement foundation.
“Now this would be a cool place to spend a full moon…” Richie’s voice drifted off as he imagined it in his head.
“Hmm sure” Eddie replied without taking his eyes away from the teacher who was speaking.
“Seriously though! Imagine it, running wild in the ruins, frightening the villagers” Richie jokes. Eddie rolled his eyes, Richie sighed, “Okay what about the beach? You can’t say you haven’t imagined spending a full moon out by the water” he reasoned as he looked at Eddie straight on.
Eddie’s arms that had once been crossed were now down by his sides, “Even if I did, it’s not like we can, our safest option is to just spend it with your dad. We cannot risk getting caught, not now” he huffed.
The wolf knew the rabbit had a point, but he couldn’t help thinking what it would be like to live like the Ancestors had before, at one with nature.
~
“So if you would kindly follow me into the lobby where you will be introduced to your tour guide for today” The man explained as he led the group through the little town area that separated them from the castle.
All the students oowed and awed at the old fashioned buildings that sat on either side of the road they walked on. Everything was made out of red burgundy bricks, wooden rooftops and white fences.
“It is kinda cool…” Eddie mumbled to Richie.
The group approached the castle and noticed the professional looking lady that stood on the front steps. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for coming to our quaint little island of Balmoral” The lady held her arms out to welcome the students before she continued her speech. “This island is protected by the ocean on all sides, the only way of accessing it is during the day while the tide is low. So our time is short, that’s why I’m so glad we get to have you all hear for the limited time between high tide, shall we begin?”.
“That’s what I was saying! Come on Eddie spaghetti you really need to start listening to me-“ Richie was cut off when he ran into Eddie who was walking infront of him, but had ubrutly stopped. “Woah what’s up spaghetti-“
“Shut up trashmouth” Eddie hissed, his eyes wide, body frozen in shock. Before Richie could question him further, Eddie took a few swift steps and practically hid behind Richie’s taller figure.
“Shut up- Shut up shut up!” Richie turned to face Eddie who shrank back, away from Richie touch. His voice was low and anxious, he was almost shaking as his eyes finally met.
“Woah what’s going on. Eddie talk to me” Richie whispered low enough for only Eddie to hear. To comfort Eddie, Richie reached his hand out and placed it on the back of the other’s head, sliding his fingers under Eddie’s beanie and into his hair. He felt Eddie physically melt into his touch
Eddie hesitated before he Began, “T-That lady is-“.
“Everything okay?” Mike asked with concern as he came up from behind them.
“A-Asthma” Eddie gasped as he started waving his hand around as if he were gesturing for someone to give him something.
Richie rapidly clued in on what Eddie was gesturing to. He did that dance when you check your pockets, he tried his inner jacket pocket, outer jacket pocket, amd both of his pant pockets. Then hre remembered where he kept it and leaped to open his bag’s back pocket. Quickly he yanked Eddie’s spare inhaler from the pocket, shook it rapidly and handed it to Eddie.
The rabbit barley had any time to question why Richie had it before he popped it in his mouth, one pump, two pumpes. Finally his breath slowly began to return.
“I-I’m okay” Eddie breathed, releaved to be able to have his breath back.
“Always prepare, right Rich?” Mike clapped him on the back, shooting him a proud smile before he went to catch up with the rest of the Losers who were at the front of the group. Stan had noticed Eddie’s little attack and instead of leading the rest of the group towards the ancestors, he suggested they go towards the front to hear what the tour guide had to say, in hopes that they wouldn’t notice what was happening.
Eddie and Richie stayed behind as they turned to face eachother.
“What the hell is going on?” Richie demanded with a serious tone.
“Me? Why the hell do you have my spare inhaler? I knew I lost this thing!”.
“I took it to be prepared for exactly this” Richie said.
Eddie began theoriesing, “But my asthma never fucking acts up anymore so why-“.
Richie sntached the inhaler out of Eddie’s grasp and shoved it back into his pocket, “OKay I was worried? Sue me. What the fuck happened in the first place?”.
It was almost as if Eddie had forgotten what he’d seen only minutes before. “That lady, the fucking tour guide, is in the council-“
“WHAT!” Richie exclaimed, catching everyone’s attention in doing so. The students, teachers, and the lady tour guide all turned to stare at the all too shocked teenage boy and his smaller, feistier boyfriend. “What do you mean this was Shakespeare's summer cottage! That’s so cool” Richie joked as he forced a laugh. Thankfully his shitty performance made everyone feel awkward enough to look away as the tour guide continued her introduction.
“Jesus trashmouth” Eddie groaned as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
“Not the time Kasbrak, you've got some explaining to do” Richie rubs the back of his kneck as he closes his eyes in hopes of rubbing away the emarrasment he just endured.
“That lady is Elizah Brightmoon, she’s the leader of the fucking council” Eddie stressed.
Richie raised his eyebrows, “What? How the hell is she here?” He interrogated.
“How the fuck am I supposed to know? What are we supposed to do! If she sees me I’m as good as dead. And we both know they wouldn’t mind that” Eddie glanced away, behind Richie’s shoulder to look at the tour guide, Elizah. She was explaing the plan for their day.
“Call your parents they must know what to do” Eddie waved wildingly at Richie who proceeded to search for his phone.
The teen found his phone in his inner jacket pocket and quickly dialed his dad’s mobile number which Went had him memorize when he was a kid. His heart nearly stopped when he heard the beep and a robotic voice tell him that he’s ‘Out of range of any cellular towers’ and that he should ‘please find the nearest cellular tower to continue your call’.
“Shit, I don’t have service” Richie groaned as he ran his hand over his snapback, carful not to reveal his wolf ears.
“What does that mean?” Eddie lifted an eyebrow as he had yet to grasp all of the human’s concepts of technology.
“I-I can’t call them. We’re on our own” Richie realized.
“Now if you’d follow me then we can begin our tour of the castle” Elizah began as she moved into the castle. The group slowly followed behind her, Richie and Eddie shared a look or worry before they tilted their heads down and followed behind everyone else.
~
The tour actually went fairly well, once they were shown the main lobby of the castle, Mr Brock split them up into two groups, one group went with Eliza while the other went with Mr Brock and Janet, one of the other tour guides who was, according to Eddie ‘some random lady he didn’t know’.
By the power of lucky, or magic, Eddie and Richie were put into the group led by Janet. Aside from the two being nearly overwhelmed by worry, they were actually kinda able to enjoy the tour with their friends.
First Janet led them through the castle, citing off random facts about its creation and the builder. Which The Losers mostly listened to, Rich and Bev made jokes about what the creator probably really did in each room, Eddie complained about how dirty everything probably is (and worried about the whole council thing). Ben, Stan and Mike actually listened and tried to take notes. Bill tried to as well but he couldn’t help but notice how tense Richie and Eddie had become.
Sure things were tense between Eddie and Bill (Richie too, even though Bill didn’t know Richie’s secret, he was still on edge), but it was as if they made a mental agreement to stay on opposite ends of their group and keep to limited conversation if any.
Before they left the castle, Janet showed them around the lobby. The room was massive, and very fancy. White tiled floors, high ceilings with intricate designs made of gold and silver. In the middle was a massive crystal chandelier that hung elegantly from the ceiling. In the main area of the lobby there were couches and love seats for people to sit or wait, the main desk, and in the back there was an almost museum like set up.
The tour guide held her hand out to show off the display cases infront of her as she led toe group towards the back of the lobby. “Here we have our artifact sections. Everything here had an important part in Balmoral’s creation, from the first shovel that broke dirt to the last weapon that was used as defense” Janet paused in the middle of the mini musem to allow the students to wander and look at the artifacts.
There were about 10 display cases that house various items, shovels and pickaxes as Janet described, as well as old knives, daggers, rusty old guns. But one gun in particular caught Bill’s eye, it looked newer, cleaner and shinier. A familiar small patch of rust around the mussel.
Old memories flooded his mind as he recalled the various times his father had sat him down and told him his latest and greatest story from the most recent hunt. Bill’s lips unconsciously curved into a grim smile, his eyes became a little wateryer as his hand brushed overtop of the glass casing. It couldn’t be, it can’t be…
A hand landed on his shoulder, breaking Bill out of his thoughts, “You okay Big Bill?” Mike asked curiously.
Bill quickly wiped at his eyes, catching any tears that might have managed to escape during his emotional moment. “Yep, yep. A-All good” Bill nodded, turning away from the case to face the rest of the group.
“Wanna go check out the murals?” Mike inquired, already steering Bill in the direction of the paintings.
After the castle Janet showed them outside through the big glass doors in the back of the mini musem. From there she took them around the fields surrounding the town. Mr. Brock gave them a mini lecture of the history behind the island and it’s original purpose while the students listened and took notes as it would help with their final project. The teacher explained that the final project would have the students do a presentation on one of the town’s famous stories that they’ve picked up on the trip. Balmoral was famous for various pieces of lore and make believe creatures, so the students had a lot to choose from.
The group was already sat outside so when the teacher announced it was time for lunch they simply opted to stay outside and eat on the lush grass by the water.
“Guys I’m kinda feeling a little uh homesick, might go on a walk, anyone want to join me?” Richie urburtly stood up.
“Yeah, love to” Eddie pipped up.
“OKay good, thanks, bye guys” Richie waved and they were off before anyone else could get a word in.
“Well that was normal” Beverly noted as she took a bit of her sandwich.
Stan inhaled and let out a loud sneeze, “Allergies”, he brushed it off.
Bill kept an eye on the two who were walking away from the group. He leaned over to Stan “Keep an e-eye on the-them, something isn’t ri-right” He whispered.
Stan shook his head, retrieved a kleenex from his pocket and whipped his nose. “What do you think is wrong?” He inquired.
“I-I don’t know” Bill lied. Sure, he didn’t knew exactly what Eddie’s intentions were but he knew for sure that he wasn't human. He saw it with his own eyes! That day at the sleepover, ears like a rabit, the night before, eyes as blue as ice. He’s literally seen Eddie transform into a rabbit.
Bill couldn’t stop replaying the events from last night in his head. ‘Where I come from, if he isn’t from here then where the hell is he from? There’s this council, and they rule above all else. After I saved him, they came in. Apparently I had ‘gotten to close’ and ‘revealed our secret’ These must be pretty fuking important secrets if they would kill an innocent man just to keep them hidden.
My dad didn’t do anything, he just wanted some time away from the hecticiness of the Denbrough household, is that too much to fucking ask? Now Eddie, my only fucking lead might be a dead end! And if he isn’t to blame then who the hell is? Some fucking council?
He snapped out of his thoughts when a hand touched his own. What Bill hadn't realized was that his fingers had curled into fists, tight fists, white knuckles and all. He slowly released his fists when Stan rested his own hand on top of them.
“You okay?” Stan asked curiously, his big blue eyes as pure as ever.
Bill sighed, his shoulders sagged, “F-Fine”. Stan leaned away from Bill and sneezed again.
~
Their day was almost over, they only had one place left to go which was Shakespeare's cabin, but that’s when Stan sneezed into his elbow. When he looked at the sleeve of his grey cardigan he noticed the disgusting looking mucus that now sat on the material. Not even a minute later Stanley stumbled over his own feet, he reached out to grasp Bill’s shoulder and even out his center of gravity.
The sudden touch ripped Bill’s attention away from the two ancestors and he re-focused it on Stan, who was now leaning up against him. “Are you oh-okay?” He asked, worried.
Stan looked up into Bill’s eye as he wrapped his arm around the other’s shoulders for support. “I’m fine Bill… I’m fine” Stan mumbled, his voice almost too mumbled to understand. A moment later he snapped his head away from Bill and proceeded to vomit all over the nice tile floor of the castle’s lobby.
Word Count: 3855
What happened to Stan? Will he recover from whatever he has? What will happen to Eddie and Richie as the full moon approaches? Will Elizah find out about the two runnaway Ancestors?
Find out next Friday on Everfalls!
I hope you guys liked this chapter and are excited for what's to come! Cause trust me- it's goooood. So take a seat, stick around for a while, and enjoy the ride.

Reports & Repertoire 17: Resentment & Return
Characters: Eddie Brock x Venom x Candace Miller (OFC)
Summary:  Candy tries to find her way about the world after being roofied and hushed by the media. Eddie is hit with a strong dose of karma, and it's two against one.
Warnings/Tags: Angst. Talk of past trauma and drugging. Revenge plots. Violence and threats.

Tumblr media
On the navy comforter of her queen size bed, sat in the middle of her minimalist white and grey room, Candy sits with her best friend Steph who is currently threatening her if she blinks one more time.
“You act like you’ve never put on eyeliner before.” Steph remarks with her judgment not hidden in her tone or expression.
“It’s different when other people are doing it!” She whines. “The makeup artist at work doesn’t do it as hard as you.” She mutters. “She’s also a lot nicer.” She shoots an accusatory brow her way.
“Well she’s getting paid isn’t she?” Steph smirks.
“Fair point.” Candy responds without nodding her head. “But you love me so you should be nice to me. I’m about to go do some important stuff I need support.” She reaches out and grabs at Steph’s unoccupied hand desperately as she bites her tongue and titters.
“Yeah, that’s what you got Eddie for now.” She snarks and shakes her head. “Speaking of, what does he think about all this?”
“He’s as pissed as I am so he’s down. He’s my backup.” She answers with a sultry lilt.
“I’m sure you are backing it up on that beefy, award-winning journalist.” She teases with a fanciful swipe of her hand. “Tell me. When you two have sex do you both have a press conference afterward to discuss the transaction?” Her face remains without a hint of sarcasm as was her skill set.
“As a matter of fact we do. It’s very productive.” She retorts with sassy. “The copy is good to keep and read later alone.” She grins.
“You fuckin’ nerds.” Steph mumbles and shakes her head. Steph was more skilled when it came to makeup than Candy. So for this undercover mission to the rich tech club where the drugging happened, she was helping her not look like herself.
After the initial turn down of her idea to expose the apparently rampant problem she’d been a victim of, she does what few journalists choose to do and gives away her story to someone else. There was a smaller female journalist who did some excellent work at a small newspaper locally. Candy offered her help to give her some footage, evidence and lend the story and support to the endeavor.
The night for the first recon mission was finally upon them. Eddie sits nervously in the modern and cozy living room, knee bouncing and knuckles white with worry. Venom tries to console him, assuring him they would never let anything happen to Candy. Eddie knows, finding his counterparts attempts at comfort to be failing. Putting his favorite person in danger wasn’t really something he could be talked into being excited about. Not a worst-case scenario by far, but a loudly nagging issue, was having to sit and listen to the men hit on Candy all night and that alone was raising his blood pressure.
Candy had pulled out all the stops when it came to mission from the glasses that had a camera inside and nail polish that reacted to Rohypnol, or Roofies. She had to specially ask for the kick starter to be sent to her before the release with the promise of free advertising after the fact to get it. She reveals her disguise, exiting from her bedroom, Venom slithering around the back of the couch to see her before Eddie. She was in something that looked entirely unlike her. A short and tight black dress, a push-up bra with chicken cutlets and enough makeup to give her flashbacks to middle school cheer competitions.
“How do I look?” she asks with a scrunch of her nose.  It’s usual button shape now straight with the help of Steph’s contouring.
“Not like you.” Eddie remarks with an approving nod.
“A big titty goth girlfriend.” Venom says with no humor or irony and the girls begin to laugh. “Why is this funny? This is what Eddie says. Why are you embarrassed Eddie? Large mammary glands and gothic styling are wonderful things in a girlfriend. She wears black. Like me.” he grins as Edie blushes.
“It’s a...an old internet thing, dude just… don’t go around talking about titties so freely. It’s rude.”
“I did not mean to offend… thought it was a compliment.”
“Good use of slang there, hun.” Candy praises his efforts. “I appreciate both of your thinking I have big tits though. It’s just the bra.” she laughs and shakes as Venom’s grin grows wider.
“Calm down.” Eddie groans.
“We are calm,” he says retracting himself back to Eddie’s shoulder. “Are you ready? We’ve got a long night ahead of us.”
“Let’s check the camera first.” Candy says with a clear enthusiasm Eddie did not share.
They run the tests and she learns how to direct her gaze most efficiently. They’d gone over the plan a dozen times. Arrive alone, sit and be bait while Venom lurked on the roof and kept a lookout for her and her victim. They left the house separately, both in taxis that picked them up at places other than her house. She arrived as planned and sat, and waited.
For a girl that looked like her, in a bar like that, it didn’t take long once it was established she was alone. No one recognized her, but she didn’t expect them to, Steph’s contouring really was a miracle worker. She played fun and easy, and it took a few guys, but late enough in the night she finally caught one as she played drunk on top of everything else. She didn’t see the guys who had drugged her before, which was a letdown but anyone who would do this deserved it right?
She talked him up, a trust fund baby who, with his father's money, had a tech start-up. It took no effort on her part to get him talking about his genius and how HE would run Tesla if he had the chance. There were a lot of “Oh my god that’s CRAZY!” and “That’s SOOOO smart.”’s from her but he was so caught up in hearing himself he didn’t notice the soundboard answers as they came from her like a kid hitting buttons on a customized keyboard. With the mere suggestion of her excusing herself and asking him to get her another drink, he was antsy to put his own plan into action. On return, she tested it while distracting him with her chest. A task that proved almost too easy. She fake drank for a while before claiming to feel sleepy and wanting to “get this show on the road” before it got too late.
With a short walk, not even a few blocks down, she knew her alien accomplice was close, slinking in the darkness of the rooftops. The disguised Candy pulls the unsuspecting predator out of the street lamp lit sidewalk and into the dank shadows of the greasy alleyway.
“I  just can’t wait.” she giggles “I don’t want to chance my roommate being in and I want you all to myself.” she coos with a bop of her manicured finger to his nose.
“I mean, your roommate can join in too if she wants.” he offers with a smug smirk.
“Well, the problem is my roommates a dude.” She answers with an upward inflection.
“Ah, red flag much?” he laughs.
“No. He’s my boyfriend… and inhabited by a symbiote.” Her delivery goes flat, sober eyes meet the pursuer turned victim.
“What the fuck? You goth girls are fuckin’ crazy, man. Not even the drugs could come up that shit.” he shakes his head, still laughing.
“No. Really. He’s huge and dangerous and doesn’t like you. You’re a piece of shit who tries to drug women to sleep with them because you're a pathetic excuse for a human who can’t get laid on his own.”
“Wait, what?” he stutters, suddenly standing up straight as Venom drops from the rooftop behind her in an impressive slinking mass. She has to admit, the look of horror on his face did things to her. The sheer terror that only being faced with death could give a dense, self-worshiping asshole like him.
“We’re going to eat you. First that big head of yours...then slurp up your organs like fava beans and then drink your adrenaline glands like a nice  chianti.” His dagger teeth drip with drool, proof of his hunger and intention.
Candy beams with pride for the completion of their plan, stepping back and chuckling quietly at the reference Venom made. The guy doesn’t even have time to scream. There’s not a drop of blood or splatter left of him to find. It’s like it never happened at all.
Candy is left with a deeply satisfied, albeit disturbingly good feeling in her gut. “I’ll see you later, babe.” she whispers and just as quiet as they’d came, they fled.
This continued for a few weeks, the footage of the drugging is stored on an external harddrive Candy kept in her safe. Eddie thought it’d only happen once. But it happened again, twice, three times more before there were articles about mysterious disappearances of the young rich elite in town. Was it the work of the Illuminati some articles asked? She read them with her coffee every Tuesday and smiled knowingly. It pleased Venom. Finally, a human that understood him and his need to kill to eat and protect this planet and its people. But Eddie was more worried than relieved at this point.
—- “You made us stop hunting when we got too much media attention. And now you want to go out and do it again?” Candy could hear the concern for her in Eddie's voice but her own was too strong to heed his warning.
“I wanna find the guy that originally did it to me, Eddie.” Her eyes give away the hurt that’s been fueling her anger as her hands move animatedly while she argues her point. “These are awful people, same as who you get rid of, there’s no reason not to give it one more shot.”
Eddie sighs and puts his hands on his hips, feeling as if he was talking to his old self. “Candy, I don’t want a fight alright? I get why you’re upset and I’d be upset too!” His voice inflected hugger pitched with feeling, “Hell, I AM upset! I get it. I do but ya know you can’t keep pushing it. Your luck will run out… like mine did. You’ll push it just one step too far because of your pride and then boom, it all falls apart.”
“Am I supposed to just let it go what they did to me? To the countless other girls they’ve done it too?” He saw the tears she fought back and his heart hurt for her. He suddenly understood everyone that had tried to warn him of the same thing in the past. It was weird karma to witness.
He sighs and gives her sad and tired eyes, much like the ones she was giving him. “You aren’t… losing by moving on ya know. You can’t win them all, just believe me, babe, please. I’ve BEEN where you are alright? I GET it! I swear I do but you can't fix every wrong out there. You just can’t… I’m sorry.”
“I’m going out tonight. And you’re going to be there. That... I hesitate to call him a person but that asshole will be there who did this to me. I just know it. Let me do it just one more time and I’ll stop okay? Please Eddie?”
He groans and feels Venom wants to give his two cents. He was on Candy's side. But of course, he was, he didn’t grasp the situation fully because he couldn’t, he was damn near indestructible right now and one more buffet of bad guys seemed like it had no downsides when you took into account it meant making Candy happy. And they both wanted that, so desperately. She’d been so much happier since they’d started this after the funk she denied she’d fallen into after the roofie.
“Fine.” He says with more anger. “But just one more time Candy I swear to god, this is the last time I’m helping you do this.” He wags his finger and she doesn’t care. She doesn’t notice. She’d already gotten her way.
—— She had her ritual now she liked to do, the getting ready and primping. The adrenaline rush was enough to get anyone hooked on the feeling. Perhaps it was what made her go against sound advice. Perhaps it was the lack of justice for herself, feeling like a martyr to take on people who seemed untouchable. It was the origin story she’d dreamed of since she was young. A woman wronged, going against the bad guys for the ultimate revenge and winning against the odds. It was everything she’d wanted. And she foolishly thought she could have it.
She was right about one thing. The guy that drugged her was there that night. She and Venom only used this convenient coincidence to shut Eddie up. “It’s a sign!” They’d hissed together.
“It’s a bad idea.” was Eddies defeated reply.
Candy enjoys this one a little too much, a little too true-crime podcast subject for Eddie's liking.
She leads him to the alley with her curves and promises. Her heels giving her no trouble but her wobbly ankles playing like they did all the same to the target.
“You believe in karma?” She proposes, lips so close she could taste the alcohol in the air on his breath.
“Nah, you get what you work for. You gotta step on some toes sometimes to prove you’re the best. If you lose you didn’t try hard enough.” He cockily answered. Something he’d probably picked up from the few interactions he had with him billionaire father growing up. His trust fund was a shield against his own evil deeds.
“That’s a shame. Because I do.” She sighs.
“I don’t think we have to match up on our philosophy 101 ideas, babe.” He chuckles. “Don’t have to have anything in common at all to do what I wanna do to you.” His hands lead to her hips and next thing he knows there’s a knife pressed into his neck. This was new. This wasn’t part of the plan.
Eddie's heartbeat picks up as he sees through Venom's eyes what’s happening. She was in too deep and she was only going to dig herself deeper.
“I’m glad we have one thing in common for what I’m going to do to you.” She snarls, taking her wig and glasses off.
“What the…?!” He says with no fear and only surprise. “Wait aren’t you? Holy shit you again?” He laughs. “So you’re the one doing this little vigilante justice thing. How cute.”
“Cute? You were going to rape me and my friend you fucking disgusting, baby dicked piece of shit.”
“They're onto you sweetie.” He grins. “You can do whatever you want to me but you think killing the brightest minds in the world was a smart idea? Like no one would come looking? You really are stupid.”
“You can call me whatever you want because you’ll be dead and I’ll be able to breathe a little easier knowing one less asshole like you is in this world.”
“Do what you want little girl, but I’m gonna put up a fight you can’t win.” He smirks.
“Doubtful.” Is Venom's response as he appears looking over Candy in the dim and dank alley.
“Good riddance.” She says angrily, putting her wig back on. She continues to mutter curses and name call while her eyes well up with a long-held release that was a long time coming.
“Are you-“
“I’m FINE.” She snaps and wipes at a falling tear. Venom recoils noticeably. “I’ll... see you later.” She rushes out before stomping off.
“Eddie?”
“I know man. She’s just… going through a lot.”
“We are worried.”
“Yeah. We are.”

One of my favourite scenes of how much of an Actual Disaster Eddie Brock is in Venom is when he's being walked into the forest to be disposed of(/straight up shot and murdered and left there) and as far as he knows, this is it for him. He's just had a messy breakup with his alien significant other, who's now stuck behind the glass in an MRI room, so really, Eddie knows there's no one to save him. but hIMSELF!
Of course, Eddie's completely fucked up sense of self-preservation kicks in and he literally attempts to get himself out of danger while simultaneously putting himself deeper into it.
He makes smart ass comments in the hopes to distract his captor, or because he just can't help himself, probably a bit of both, completely bypassing the impulse that says Don't Antagonize The Guy Holding The Gun and he's all 'What ya gonna do- you gonna, walk me to death?'
Tumblr media
When this gets no reaction he follows it up with a (dear god Eddie no, s t o p talking) golden line of 'Did your momma not love you?' and just fucking Goes For The Gun even though there's two other guys there, also with guns, and Eddie has probably never been in a fight that he has won in his life (without Venom doing all the fighting).
It goes as well as expected
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Eddie's on the floor.
Like, what was he going to do if he'd actually got the gun?? How did he think this was a plan that would work?? A for effort, but damn Eddie you know how to get under people's skin and piss them off like it's an art.
Like, you expect this to work - he reaches for the gun and that means he's going to get it and everything will somehow work out, right?
Not with this loser.
It's the little 'Goddamnit' Eddie groans when the guy kicks him while he's down that gets me. He knows he done screwed up. But he's Trying. Eddie Brock is always Trying.
Tumblr media
'I guess it pays to be a specialist, huh' he wheezes before his self-preservation packs up its bags (like that was the last effort bye) and even though he says 'well, it doesn't matter if you kill me anyway,' he still cant help himself when he adds a hissed, 'there's something much bigger afoot in this world than you and me'.
He's right of course, because that's when Venom and Anne come to save him. He's a smart ass who knows he's won now and he says his final parting words to his captor with a grin. 'Karmas a bitch' he nearly giggles. (He knows Venoms here to save him, he's so happy)
Tumblr media
So anyway, Eddie Brock may be a Total Disaster but he never stops Doing, never stops Trying. And yeah, he didn't save himself, but he sure did Try. Despite the impossible situation, despite not really having the slightest chance of his plan (do we call that a plan? did he really think any of it through first?) working, Eddie does it anyway.
What a beautiful disaster

SIM Tony / Peter, part three
Read part one here
Read part two here
Tumblr is fucking with me right now. I’m not getting notifications from some of my posts. I hope this won’t happen with this one as well.
This chapter is a little different. It will likely seem a little confusing and kind of all over the place. I assure you, this is not because I wrote it while being drunk. :-)
The chapter is supposed be reflect on Peter mental and emotional state after rejecting Tony, and right now, Peter isn’t in a good place. There is a lot of self-loathing, as well as self-destructive behaviour.
As always, this wasn’t beta read, I’m not a nativ english speaker, and there might be mistakes or typos in this. Please point any you may find out to me, so I can correct them.
SIM!Tony/Peter
Part 3
24 muggings, 18 instances of battery, 11 cases of domestic violence, 7 attempted rapes, 5 house fires, 3 attempted kidnappings.
It had been a busy 6 days for Spiderman.
6 days since Peter had fled from the man he loved. The man who returned those feelings. The man who wanted to spend his life with him.
And Peter had run.
Like a coward.
6 days of almost non-stop heroism. 6 days of being Spiderman. 6 days of being someone who caught the bad guys, who protected the defenseless, who saved people!
It was such a fucking farce.
6 days of trying desperately to not be Peter Parker. Because Peter Parker was a fucking mess. Because Peter Parker couldn't deal with his fucking feelings and his fucking paranoia and his fucking life. Because Peter Parker was so scared that he was gonna lose someone else he loved, that he kept running away from them.
Just as he had done with Tony.
Aunt May had been easier.
He had moved into student housing together with Harry (before his then best friend had become a mutated, homicidal maniac), when he had started college. Slowly reducing their time together during his time as a student. First cutting down on the weekends he would visit her, then encouraging to go for that job she wanted (which included better working conditions and pay, but was based in California.)
Helping her move, promising to call often (which he did) and visit as much as he could (which he didn't).
He missed her every day, but at least she was safe. Safe from being collateral damage in Peter Parker's fucked up life.
Like Gwen, and MJ, and Harry, and Eddie.
Like Dr. Conners and Dr. Octaviuos and Captain Stacey.
Like uncle Ben.
And Peter should have fucking learned from all of this. He should have known to keep away from people. Keep his distance. Keep them safe.
But no.
No.
Because Peter was a selfish little prick and he just had to make friends, right?
Turning away from the people in his civilian life, had led him to forge deeper connections with the people in his hero life.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Spiderman and the Avengers had worked together a lot over the years. As had Spiderman and the Defenders.
And Peter just had to let himself grow attached, hadn't he?
Just had to insert himself into the two groups more an more. Talk them into team outings and movie nights and shared patrols.
Take off his mask and entrust them with his secret identity.
Endanger them.
And then take things even further and fall in love!
Selfish fucking moron!
But Tony was... he was just... everything.
Funny and smart and handsome and brave and sarcastic and kind.
Narcissistic and confident and charming and sexy.
But also shy, unsure and insecure.
Tony had his vices, and his flaws. Just like everyone else did. But Peter had fallen for the man anyway. He had fallen fast, hard, and completely in love with Anthony Edward Stark, Iron Man.
And for some crazy, ludicrous, abnormal reason, Tony returned those feelings.
Tony Stark, the man who could have anyone, wanted Peter Parker.
Selfish, cowardly, broken Peter Parker.
And how had Peter reacted to that?
By pretty much throwing Tony's love on the floor and trampling all over it on his way out the door.
Running away.
Coward!
6 days since he had last spoken to the genius. 6 days since he had even seen the man. 6 days of hiding behind his mask and swinging around in his suit and obsessively looking for anyone who might need his help.
As if it could balance out all the lives he had destroyed. As if it could erase the pain he had caused Tony.
6 days of running away from life as Peter Parker.
He had barely slept and hardly eaten anything. (He only took care to keep himself well hydrated. Though most of what he drank was some form of liquid caffeine, to keep himself awake)
Hadn't bothered to take care of the various injuries he had acquired.
The other heroes he came across were getting worried.
First Matt after Peter had been out as Spiderman for a full 18 hours, and just yesterday Steve. They had taken him aside, told him to go home. Rest up and take a break.
They shouldn't bother.
He deserved this.
The exhaustion and the hunger and the pain.
He deserved it all for being a fucking, useless mess who always ended up hurting the people he loved.
His knuckles were stinging and bloody as he drove his fist into the brick wall once more. His healing factor stretched thin after almost a week without proper rest and nourishment.
Good. This is your punishment. You deserve this.
He had no time for self-pity (he didn't deserve any, anyway)
It had been all over the news. A sudden power failure at the raft. Security systems crashing. Suspected cyber attack.
Two of the prisoners had escaped. Conners and Octavious. The Lizard and Doc Ock.
And as if that wasn't enough, Peter had overheard Steve on the phone with the director of Shield (after the good Captain had unsuccessfully tried to convince Spidey to take a break).
Venom was gone from the containment unit.
Three of his worst enemies were on the loose.
He had doubled his efforts since he had heard of it. No quick pit stops in his apartment. No short rests on the rooftops. Peter hadn't slept at all in the last 64 hours.
He still hadn't found them. No one had found them.
Eddie Brock was under 24 hour observation to make sure the symbiote couldn't attach itself to it's preferred host. (Another life that Peter had destroyed. Due to his bond with Venom, Eddie had been reduced to little more than the likes of a junkie. In a constant state of withdrawal, driven mad by his need for reunion with the alien. He would probably have to live out the rest of his life in the mental institution he currently resided in)
All your fault!
The Avengers and the Defenders likewise had been spotted all over New York, trying to find and recapture the escaped villains before they could cause any damage. They constantly tried to flag Spidey down, get him somewhere safe, or at least make him stay close to them. Everyone know that Conners, Octavious and Venom would be out for Peter's blood.
(The only one Peter hadn't seen since the news broke out was Iron Man, and he didn't know what to think about that)
Maybe he doesn't care about you anymore. Good! He shouldn't! They are your villains and therefore your problem! The other heroes shouldn't have to clean up your mess!
6 days since he had last been at work.
He was probably fired. He didn't care. He could hardly think straight.
He was exhausted and starving and in pain.
You deserve this.
Three of his most dangerous enemies were somewhere in the city, planning who knows what, and every hero in New York had to waste their time and energy looking for them.
All your fault! Always such a burden on everyone.
Tony probably hated him.
He should! He deserves so much better than you!
He was on his last two cartridges of webfluid, having depleted his whole supply swinging through the city, looking for any trace of the Lizard and Ock. He should go back. Make more webfluid. He would need it in the fight against the two villains. (Three, if Venom got a hold of Eddie.)
Peter needed to be prepared for this. But he couldn't stop now. He had to find and apprehend them, before they could hurt anyone! He couldn't stop, couldn't take a break.
You don't deserve a break.
He had to keep going.
He was so exhausted.
He still hadn't found them.
Everything hurt.
Where could they be?
Tony hated him.
You deserve this.
You deserve this.
You deserve this!
Danger!!!
His spidey-sense screamed and he veered left in his swing at the very last second, narrowly avoiding his former best friend on his deadly glider.
How could Peter have forgotten about Harry, The Green Goblin?

A/N: One bite per day keeps Thanos away :D ~Cass
Tumblr media
Eddie had enough of sitting in the office as much as you so he decided it was time for a camping. Both of you took a few days off, packed all stuff that were needed and headed to the camping spot.
It was a nice summer night. Eddie was sitting in front of the fire, frying some marshmallows on his stick. "You will love it, V. They are just as good as chocolate. Sweetheart! You are done in this tent? We... I mean.. I miss you here," Eddie said looking over his shoulder.
"Minute! I just need a minute! I can't find my hairbrush! Did you pack it as I asked?!," you screamed out of tent.
Venom formed himself from Eddie's back and laid his chin on man's shoulder sniffing viciously. "It doesn't smell nice. You burnt them, Ed. If you think we're gonna eat some burnt marshmallows, you're fucking mistaken, we tell ya."
Eddie rolled his eyes. "You said the same thing five minutes ago, Y/N, your hairbrush should be in my backpack!" Then he looked annoyed at Venom and shook his head. Eddie took a new stick and impaled two marshmallows on it, he put it in Venom's mouth. "Here, make your own, Master Chef."
Venom formed a hand and shifted it more into campfire, without complaining this time.
"I've found it!" After a moment you joined them sitting onto Eddie's lap. "Oh, V! You do it by yourself!"
Venom narrowed his eyes. "He made us do this."
"Well, he had no other choice. He didn't like mine so he has to do it by himself," Eddie giggled and looked at you. "Come here sweetheart, I want to cuddle with you."
As soon as you joined Eddie, he wrapped one arm around you and pulled you closer. "I love this camping already, even Venom won't destroy my mood. Just me and you," Eddie purred and nuzzled to your hair. "Hey, how about a walk?"
You brushed his cheeks and cupped his face to place a passionate kiss to his lips. But when you two were kissing, something slick and cold sneaked between your faces. It was no one else but Venom. "And we. We all are Venom!," he stated proudly and gave a lick to you and to Eddie.
Eddie blinked, growling annoyed. He already started to mentally count to ten to calm down.Eddie let out a deep sigh. "Y/N? So what with our walk, shall we?," he asked getting up and offering you his hand.
You grabbed his palm smiling. "Sure. We can get a round."
Venom growled quietly and hid himself.
"I swear, if you will be calm for this walk I will buy you a box o chocolate bars," Eddied said mentally to Venom and quickly pulled you with him.
Tumblr media
The night was warm and calm, you two walked slowly. "This place is nice, right?," Eddie smiled at you.
Your arm was wrapped around his waist. "Yes. I like it. It's nice here, away from the civilization. It's nice to be here, to clear mind, breathe with fresh, clean air," you whispered.
Eddie nodded. "No work, no problems, just me, you... and Venom,” he laughed softly and pulled you closer to himself. "I needed something like this."
Tumblr media
You two walked for a few more minutes simply enjoying your time together. Talking and joking was enough until you pulled Eddie's attention away from the chat.
"Hmmm? Did you hear that?," you asked carefully stopping within a step. "I bet I heard something. In the brushes. Nearby."
Venom formed himself once again and his eyes narrowed. "There, footprints," he pointed his formed hand in east direction. "Check it, Ed... Maybe it's something to eat..."
Eddie let out a loud sigh and stroked his hair, looking at Venom, then at you.  "I don't know, these can be footsteps of some tourists. I mean, this place is popular." Eddie though few minutes."What do you think, Y/N?"
"I think... We should go back to tent... I don't like it," you said squeezing Eddie's hand.
But Venom had opposite idea. He covered Eddie's body and smirked viciously at you. "C'mon, pussy. We're gonna check it. We smell a meal. And we're hungry, fucking hungry." After these words Venom grabbed your hand and pulled you right behind him, straight into the bushes.
Eddie used his whole will straight to fight Venom back this time. He hated when this was happening, Venom was always taking over his body without even little warning.
When Venom let go of Eddie's body, you and he stood in front of a big human-like creature with purple skin.
Eddie slowly pulled you behind him.
You trembled and squeezed man's palm strongly. "Let's go back, Eddie... I don't like it..."
The mystery person or creature was no one else than Thanos himself. He turned to you and Eddie."Humans! Bow to your new ruler before I will liberate you from your biggest problem!"
Eddie blinked completely scared. It was talking and apparently, it was talking to him. "V.... one of your buddies?," he asked.
Venom formed the head next to Eddie's. "No, pal. We don't know this purple turd."
You pulled man's hand trying to run away. "Eddie," you whispered.
"Ey, motherfucker, who are ya?," Venom tilted his head narrowing his white eyes.
Eddie hushed you and pulled you behind his back, at last he had Venom to protect you and him.
Thanos looked at Venom with a frown."I am..."
His words were interrupted by another voice.
"Yea, yea! You are Thanos and you came to get stones and destroy us but you know what big, purple buddy? Not today."
It was Iron Man, Tony Stark himself in the company of Avenger's Quinjet.
"Are you okay, kids?," Iron Man asked before landing on the ground, other Avengers joined him soon.
Venom's eyes got wider as he tilted head from left to right few times. He poked Eddie's cheek. "Who they?," he asked. "You know 'em? Are they your stupid colleagues from work that we don't know about, huh?"
You nuzzled to Eddie's back panting in horror. The entire situation was too complicated for you to handle. It had to be a calm camping, for fuck's sake!
"Don't worry, we'll handle it," strong voice said. It was no one else but Captain America himself. He got out of the Quinjet, Black Widow and Thor followed him. "Tony," he nodded at Iron Man and then moved the glance of his steel blue eyes on you, Eddie and Venom, frowning a bit as he spotted the symbiote.
Venom poked Eddie's cheek. "Say something, mr reporter. Protect us. These are strangers. The blond one looks appetizing though..."
Eddie shook his head. "I don't know them personally but they are Avengers. Heroes are here. We are safe and Venom, you won't eat Captain America," he frowned looking at symbiote.
Tony nodded. "Hey there, I see that American ass and the crew joined us so we can start."
Thanos laughed deeply. "You!? What are you gonna do? Beat me to death with this pathetic freesbie? I will destroy you all."
"Yeah, you wish this, big purple mister…," Tony wasn't able to finish his sentence.
Venom observed the entire scene carefully. He turned his formed head to look at Thanos. He was stending only few feets from him. Well, Eddie once said "you can eat bad guys". And if we cannot eat that tasty booty of Captain America... We're gonna do a quick check, he thought to himself frowning. Symbiote glared back at Thanos, measuring him from the bottom to the top.
Bad guy look - check.
Has bad intentions - check.
Looks like a thing possible to eat, namely a plum - check.
Threatened Eddie, Y/N, ans these people dressed like for the masquerade - check.
Hunger - DOUBLE CHECK.
Before anyone could react, Venom overtook Eddie's body, took a large step towards Thanos and simply ate his head off, decapitating Mad Titan within blink of an eye.
"OH MY FUCKING SHIT JESUS CHRIST!," Tony yelled took completely off guard, even his helmet opened to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.
Others were just as shocked as Tony was.
At this point Eddie was fully happy that Venom took control without warning, at last, he was sure that the love of his life was safe from... Whoever or whatever it was.
"LANGUAGE, STARK," Captain snapped angrily looking at Venom in disbelief. "Did you just... What the hell!"
Venom smiled widely. "We're Venom. And we were hungry. You look tasty, too. Especially that butt of yours, so juicy. But wait. I need that purple lungs and liver, I bet they'll be more tasty than his purple head. It didn't taste like plum."
"Language, Rogers!," Tonny yelled using Steve's voice. "Exactly, WHAT THE HELL?! IT WAS OUR JOB!,” he said.
Natasha listened to Venom and shook her head. "I am getting sick, I go back to Quinjet,” she said and turned around to leave. Others followed her, leaving Cap and Iron Man alone with you and Venom.
"See? Even... this thing says you have a nice ass," Tony said looking at Steve.
Steve blushed and made a mad grimace whilst looking at Tony.
Venom was eating Thanos' body, part after part, swallowing flesh like a starving lion that hunted a prey. "We aren't a thing, dumbass, we're Venom," symbiote reminded with mouth full of flesh. After a while he hid himself leaving Eddie kneeling next to dead corpse of Mad Titan.
You watched the scene and fainted with gasp escaping your parted lips. Steve rushed to you to support you from falling onto dusty ground.
Eddie groaned and shook his head. "Oh my God.. I'm gonna be sick," he looked at the corpse and quickly moved away. "What happened?"
"What happened is that I just filled my armor with my breakfast. WHAT THE HELL and don't even try, Rogers!," Tony warned before finishing, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!"
Eddie smiled softly and got up from the ground."Uhm... Well, some time ago I caughed this parasite and it kinda takes over my life," he shrugged and quickly moved to you. "Y/N? Sweetheart, it's okay now."
Steve was holding you into his strong arms, his blonde bangs fell onto his forehead. "She's fine, it was... A bit too much for everyone, pal," he explained carefully handling you to Brock. "The parasite you say? You do realize that this parasite has just killed Earth's greatest threat?," Steve gazed at Tony with helpless grimace. "I think this thing has just gotten our work done," he shrugged.
Venom formed his head next to Eddie's smiling widely. "Oh, hi there, America's greatest ass. You look tastier from such a short distance."
Tony rubbed his face. "Yea... I think so, Cap, let's just go before he eats you too. I think I need to go and take a nap. The sleep deprivation isn't good for me. Thanks for the help... whoever you are."
Eddie looked at Venom and smile, holding you close. "I need to say this was a good job, V, for once a good job," he petted Venom's head before picking you up in bridal style. "Well, I think we should go back to camp, but I have question. Can I, Captain?"
Steve nodded hesitantly, he took a step backward to avoid the possibility of being eaten by Venom who was petted by Eddie but still glared at him with tongue licking his fangs.
"Well, if you and the whole team are here already, could you give me an interview? I am a reporter." Eddie smiled.
Tony rolled his eyes. "Reporter with head-eating parasite and I though that God of Thunders is weird,” he commented.
Venom turned his head towards Stark. "Hey, sardine in the can? If ya have problem with Eddie, ya have a problem with us. We'll be your nightmare. Eddie, you ran blood tests lately and you had a low level of iron. We can eat this metal turd to keep your iron level at norm, what do you think?"
"We don't eat avengers, V." Eddie said with a frown. "Remember? No eating good guys."
"Exactly! We are good guys, suck me, parasite," Tony barked. "Cap, please? Give a kid an autograph and let's go home."
"Well...," Steve put hand on Eddie's shoulder. "I think we owe you this at least. If you'll promise me that your strange friend won't eat any of us," Steve smirked at Brock.
Parasite immedietely moved his head to Steve hand. "Pet, pet?," he asked.
Steve, as carefully as it was possible petted symbiote's head. "Yeah, you did a... God job. And well, you saved the world and entire universe."
Venom smiled licking Eddie's cheek. "You see, Ed, and you try to tell us what our hunger sets you in trouble constantly. But as you see, the troubles were eaten off."
Eddie smiled and sighed. "Okay! sometimes you are useful." Eddie nodded and looked at Captain. "That would be great! I will contact you when I will be back at work, okay?"
Steve smiled at man. "No problem."
Meantime you opened your eyes. Venom noticed it and instinctively nuzzled to you whispering. "We had just gotten Eddie a new job, he'll interview that bootylicious blonde man."
"Hey, sleeping beauty,”  Eddie smiled at you and kissed your forehead. "Venom is right. The newspaper will have an exclusive interview with Captain America himself."
"Captain, Captain?," Venom moved head to Steve.
"Uhm, yeah?"
"Tell your iron pal that we keep our eye on him," Venom added.
Tony was pretty irritated at this point. "Yea, sure, whatever. See you in the tower, Cap,” he muttered and quickly left.
Eddie sighed. "I think all of us should head back home, it's late,” man said and looked at Venom and then back at you. "Who is tired?"
Steve greeted Brock and followed Tony to Quinjet.
Venom shook his head. "We're not but we'd like few of those marshmallows that have left in a pack. And you see, we came to this world on purpose. And this was it. We came to eat all of your and Y/N's problems. Additionally Earth's problems too. And you call us a parasite. You lack gratitude, pal."
"You can't always eat our problems, V,” Eddie sighed and looked at Venom. "But thank you and you will get all the marshmallows of the world."
Venom nuzzled to Eddie's neck. "Ya know. We love you, pal. Though your lungs smell good, we would never ever eat you. You're one of us. Till the end of the world. Or until you'll starve us to the point we won't be having other choice than to eat you."
"I love you too, V. Thank you," Eddie said and looked at you in his arms. "And we love Y/N too," he told you and kissed your forehead.
“So?,” Venom poked man's head. “Move your fat butt, Brock. We're still hungry.”

Sims 4 Marvel Challenge!
This is a 10 generation challenge. If you have a specific expansion or game pack that would make the challenge more interesting, feel free to change it up a bit. It’s sort of a legacy challenge, but not quite. Naturally, because the Avengers aren’t related, this is going to be a little strange, but I tried to organize it chronologically for the most part. 
Beware: there are some spoilers.
Generation 1: Steve Rogers “I could do this all day.”
The First Avenger. You’ve always been sickly and weak, so when you see someone being treated unfairly, you just can’t let it go. You might get hurt in the process of helping others, but that’s alright. You could do this all day. 
To start, create teen Steve Rogers and his mother Sarah. Storytellers may start out with steve as a toddler or child. When Steve becomes a young adult, the challenge begins. 
Must have good trait
Must have ambitious trait
Must meet and befriend Bucky Barnes 
Mother must die when he becomes a YA
Enter the secret agent career and buff up
Reach level 10 of the secret agent career 
Have a romantic relationship with one of your coworkers (and an unknown child)
Must fake your own death
Must outlive all coworkers
Alternate: 
Strangerville--Steve must join Military career instead (defeat the mother if desired) 
Parenthood--Steve must age up with every positive character value 
Generation 2: Peter Quill “Dance off to save the Galaxy”
You were abducted by aliens when you were a child. Since then, you’ve been kept alive and raised by the aliens (and maybe, you’re happy), but you can’t help resenting them a little. You want to make a name for yourself. (You’re not trying to prove anything. Not at all). This story begins when Peter becomes a teenager.
Must live in one of the hidden worlds with adopted caregiver
Must only leave the realm at night until YA
Not allowed to see “other humans” (other sims besides caregiver) until YA 
Must have a slightly poor relationship with caregiver
Max dance skill 
Dj on the side as “Starlord” 
Become an interstellar smuggler 
Marry an ambitious Sim with something green (preferably skin, but may be hair or eyes)
Have a child
Alt: 
Get to work--Caregiver and coworkers are all aliens, Peter mustn’t see any other humans until YA
Parenthood--Must age up with poor manners 
Get Famous--Become famous for something good
Generation 3: Bruce Banner “Hulk...Hulk like real fire.” 
You have a good life with loving parents (even if one of them happened to be an alien) but you care more about learning and inventing than spending time with family. This story begins when Bruce becomes a YA. 
Must join the scientist (Astronaut if BG) career
Master the logic skill
Master rocket science skill (Handiness if BG) 
Mid-life crisis: get fit and get “green” (skin, hair, (vegetarian? Off the grid?? Whatever you like:))
Must be hot-headed
Must have no children
Must travel to space during lifetime
Alt:
Get to Work--Live on Sixam for a week
Jungle Adventure--Vacation frequently
Generation 4: Thor “Because that’s what heroes do.” 
You and your brother have always been opposites, but that’s never stopped you from getting along. But he’s been distant lately. You’re too busy to wonder why, taken in by thoughts of future glory. You’ll be head of the family business soon, and you can’t wait to be in charge. This story begins when Thor becomes a teenager. 
Must have self-assured and good traits 
Must be good friends with adopted younger brother and lose relationship over time
Must accidentally cause a disaster for the family (start a fire, etc.) 
Be kicked out of the house to live in another world
Redeem yourself, but family falls apart due to dysfunction
Run the business 
Generation 5: Natasha Romanoff “Just because it’s the path of least resistance, doesn’t mean it’s the right path.” 
All you’ve known is hard work and hard truths. You’re willing to do whatever it takes to make things right, but you might have to give up more than just your reputation. This story begins when Natasha becomes a child. 
Must be adopted
Age up with emotional control character value
Reach level 10 in Fitness, logic, programming, and charisma
Enter the secret agent career
Must have no children
Generation 6: Bucky Barnes “I’m with you ‘till the end of the line.” 
You can’t remember anything, but that’s just fine. You’re content to live in apathy, with no real ties to anything except the ambition of climbing the criminal career ladder. However, when one mission puts all of that in jeopardy, you must choose between what you know and what you...know? This story begins when Bucky becomes an adult. 
Must enter the criminal career
Must live in a household with two other sims (adult or elder)
Max fitness skill 
May only leave the house when working or when both housemates are gone
Must meet Steve Rogers in the wild
Generation 7: T’Challa “It’s time to show the outside world who we are.” 
Father must die when T’Challa becomes a YA
Must not travel out of world until reaching level 10 of career
Max charisma skill
Must enter business, law, secret agent, or police career
Household must volunteer frequently
Visit the ghost of your father (as a spellcaster, at a tombstone or urn, etc.)
Alt: 
City Living: Become leader of the free world
Generation 8: Stephen Strange “Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain.” 
Being rich and showing off is the greatest part of life as far as you’re concerned. You’ve never been happier than you are now, and you’re sure you never could be. You don’t need anyone but yourself. This story begins when Strange becomes a YA. 
Must have Mansion Baron aspiration
Must have noncommittal trait
Max logic still
Reach level 10 of the doctor career
Lose job unexpectedly
Lose all money
Travel to a different world and become a spellcaster (or a different life-state)
Must have 1 child
Generation 9: Tony Stark “I am Iron Man.” 
You love your parents but have a hard time showing it. You’re certain all that really matters is getting rich and having as much fun as possible. That is, until you’re all alone. Now what used to be good times have become distractions. This story begins when Tony becomes a teenager.
Must have fabulously wealthy aspiration
Must have Materialistic trait
Parents must die before Tony becomes a YA
Must have a near-death experience
Aspiration change to friend of the world
Change a trait to good
Marry and have 1 child
Must die while child is a toddler
Generation 10: Peter Parker “Everywhere I go, I see his face. I just really miss him.” 
You’re smart, but that’s not enough to keep you from getting picked on. As things keep changing, you start to wonder if you’re the reason everyone you care about dies. You’ve never been less certain of yourself. This story begins when Peter becomes a teenager. 
Parents must die while a child
Must be cared for by aunt 
Must age into YA with three character values
Straight A student
Max programming and robotics 
Have a rebellious phase and get in fights
Have gloomy trait
Fall in love before YA
Gloomy trait becomes self-assured
This is the current set of rules for the challenge. If you have an idea you’d like to see added, please let me know! Many of them are somewhat similar (since these kids all have a somewhat similar profession ;) so I would love to hear other suggestions. 
I will also be updating the challenge with more alternates for storylines to swap out, such as Carol Danvers, Eddie Brock, and Sam Wilson, so stay tuned!
