Listen. I honestly think Etho's setup is not that bad. There, I've said it.

Remember Ozzie rebuked love potions?

This confirm their existence.

Who exactly would be making them?

Ozzie made the assumption that Stolas may ask for a love potion and shot that notion down.

A love potion would exist for no other reason but lust because who would be interested in it but someone who wants someone else to be attracted to them? Perhaps a couple who have lost their spark but there would be love there already, so a 'love potion' is a 'lust potion'?

Anyway, if there's consent, then there's a market surely?

Considering Stolas has just separated and was just on a date at Ozzie's, what reason would Ozzie have to believe that Stolas would resort to something like forced love/lust?

It was definitely a placey way of letting us know 'Ozzie believes in consent so he can't be blamed for any negative aspects lust'.

Why else would the lines between love and lust blurred during such an otherwise pointless little scene and remember, ship excluded Ozzie doesn't do love anyway.

The 'sins' not only govern over their sin but serve as world leaders, what exactly do they do to regulate what they stand for, especially if there are 'do and don't's?

Who would be allowed to sell them?

2022's Greatest Surprise TV Hit Has Become 2023's Biggest Disappointment

"...fixated on feeding the nostalgia around its central relationship."

"... it’s tooth-rotting fluff."

"...at what point does a story stop being about the characters and instead about delivering the moments the fans have been asking for?"

Venom!Hobie Cat-Symbiote AU!

Okay so I might have made an AU of my AU...

It's based on my Venom!Hobie au but with a slightly (?) lighter tone in the sense that Hobie actually gets along well with his symbiote. Though they initially mostly get along due to shared mutural trauma... (But more about that later)

This version of the symbiote is more animalistic and usually communicates with Hobie through emotions- sorta projecting its own emotions and feelings towards him to let him know how it feels about something, though it might also communicate via single words or short sentences but that's pretty rare.

So, I'll do like I did in my original Venom!Hobie post and focus on the Design first:

Since they get along the symbiote feels safe around Hobie and thus it'll often "extend" itself outside of him and take the shape of a (freaky looking) cat - Kinda like how VENOM is able to partially seperate itself from Eddie while still being tethered to him:

Like this but they actually get along and the symbiote looks kinda like this:

(Once again- I CANNOT draw but the brainrot is stronger so I need to share this)

(I didn't draw the symbiote goo that would extend from it to tether it to Hobie but it's there I swear!)

Since this is Spider-Punk's symbiote I wanted some of the spikes to carry over in this design

I haven't quite decided if it should have the "running-mascara" look (buttom drawing) for its eyes like Spider-Punk's mask has or not so lemme know what you guys think?

The spikes are used as a way for it to communicate to others as a way to make its body language more expressive (though it only shows itself around people it really trusts so it rarely uses them as it still just communicates its emotions directly to Hobie when it needs to)

And like with Venom!Hobie the spikes are reminiscent of symbiote teeth

When it's relaxed/happy the spikes will be pressed down towards its body - making it easy to pet- if somebody would dare approach it that is

Hobie pets it a lot as it usually sits on his shoulder when he walks around (when there's nobody around that is)

The symbiote is still made of the same goo as regular symbiotes so it does not feel like petting a cat at all- Hobie doesn't mind but most other people find it rather unpleasant to touch

The "fuzzy" look is just the symbiote goo trying to imitate cat fur

The reason the symbiote takes this form is partially because it's more animalistic and likes physical affection (from people it trusts, it will bite your hand off if it doesn't like/trust you and you try to pet it) and partially because Hobie is a cat person and it used it as a method to make Hobie like it more when they first "met" + petting it helped Hobie calm down and still does

It's gotten pretty good at mimicking cat noises including purring

It'll usually stay on Hobie's shoulder or sit in his lap like this, it's still tethered to him so it can't go that far without him - not that it really wants to anyways

If it likes someone it'll rub itself against their legs and mimic purring noises

Okay now we move on to the

Origin:

This is my current headcanon for this AU but as always feel free to share your thoughts/ideas/inputs if you have any <3

Hobie and the symbiote "met" at one of Oscorp's labs

Hobie was living as a homeless teen (13-14 years old having escaped an abusive household a few months prior) and was captured by Oscorp to be used for their symbiote experimentations

Hobie was an easy target as he had just been bitten by the radioactive spider a few hours prior and thus he was starting to suffer from the fever the bite gave him

Hobie was to be fused with a new kind of symbiote

The symbiote had been made to make people more susceptible to orders- making them less inclined to think for themselves

But in order to make that possible the symbiote had been put through some rather painful and extreme experiments- making it more "dead" than alive at this point

When it's fused with Hobie, who's still very sick at this point, the spider bite is still working its magic on Hobie's body and thus it also partially heals the symbiote

Both Hobie and the symbiote are terrified of their situation as they're put in holding cells made specifically for symbiotes.- Their only comfort is each other.

The symbiote takes on the cat like appearance to soothe Hobie after being subjects to a particularly bad experiment

Since Hobie's gotten powers from both the spider bite and the symbiote they quickly become the subjects for many inhumane and painful experiments as the scientists futilely try to figure out how to replicate the symbiote (as they're unaware of the spider bite, thinking the symbiote alone is behind Hobie's new powers)

Due to the symbiote Hobie develops a taste for human flesh

And he gets his first taste of it as he manages to escape the lab during one of their many tests- killing as many guards and scientists on their way out as possible. (This is also the first time they fully transform into Venom!Hobie)

He would later return and burn the lab down completely.

As a result of their treatment at the lab + Hobie's past with his abusive family, both him and the symbiote have developed a deep distrust to other people.

Which is also why Hobie isn't trying to get rid of the symbiote, he considers it his only friend for a long time.

Hobie still loves playing music (which is also how he eventually makes new friends) but has had to make some adjustments due to the symbiote, thus he usually uses both earplugs and noise cancelling earmuffs when he's playing and even then he still gets migraines if he plays for too long or too loud

He still craves human flesh and will usually target cops or anyone associated with Oscorp to sate his hunger.

He doesn't feel bad about killing but will still try not to harm civilians (emphasis on try- sometimes the hunger gets the best of him)

He still operates as Spider-Punk but for a long time he's mostly fueled by his hatred for Oscorp and how they treated him and the symbiote

But as he slowly learns to open up to people he starts to shift his focus onto figting to help people and make the city safer (which means he'll still target cops and Oscorp employees but that's not his only focus anymore) (he also makes an effort to actually save civilians at this point)

Though due to the symbiote and their past this version of Spider-Punk is more prone to just straight up killing his villains (+ he still gotta eat right?)

But I'd like to imagine that this version of Hobie also finds his own community who help him out and accept both him and the symbiote

Giving them kind of a "happy" ending despite this version of Hobie being more messed up and unhinged...

Once again this turned out way longer than I intended lol (I just can't shut up about Venom!Hobie, the brainrot is real!)

Thank you so much for reading!!! <3 <3 <3

(And please let me know if you have any thoughts/inputs/questions about anything I wrote! The brainrot is real and I'll never get tired of talking about this guy)

omg listen to this LISTEN TO THIS!!!

It’s Xue Yang calling Xiao Xingchen twice. First after the Chang massacre, when he’s captured...

AND second, in Yi City, when he’s got the Special Potato Discount

AND DON’T THEY JUST SOUND SO FUCKING SIMILAR!!! 

I swear, the more I think about it the more I believe Xiao Xingchen was fully aware of who he was sharing his life house with at this point, might have noticed any time in the three frigging years they spent together... 

And he’s rolling with it because yeah, Xue Yang’s a murderer all you want, but he’s also good company, witty, helpful in night hunts, amazing in bed, an excellent haggler and makes himself useful around the house. 

“He should have noticed”? Nah, better “He DID have noticed, but was too afraid the spell of blissful domesticity would break if he acknowledges him”, just as much as Xue Yang was afraid to come forth for the very same reason. 

They have a good thing going, and they want to keep it.

if i had a nickel for every time Team Uthodern encountered an incredibly dangerous and deadly creature in the home of somebody important, pacified said creature somehow and made them temporarily peaceful and non-threatening but only for one hour, and then guided said creature to the gates of the city with the intention of setting it free to wander the wilds outside, simultaneously causing a ruckus amongst the people they pass while doing this, all the while another member of their team stays behind and loots shit that isn't actually theirs, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but it's absolutely BIZARRE that it happened twice.

#cr spoilers #in the span of literally a single episode too #like welp we dealt with the Sentinel Beast that way #why not handle this weird spider creature the exact same way? #if it ain't broke don't fix it #the Bells Hells way #anyway this episode was super fun #bells hells #critical role
